Have you recently been downsized?

Since you’ve been downsized, have you found that it is very difficult to find a new job to take the place of your previous job?

Current State of Affairs

If so, you have lots of company.  Since December 2007, the official beginning of this recession, more than 5.7 million jobs have been eliminated.  According to the Associated Press (AP), after the May 8th release of the April, 2009 unemployment numbers:

• 13.7 million people were unemployed in April, 2009, and that was the biggest number since 1948
• 539,000 jobs were lost in April alone
• 8.9% unemployment (the highest since September, 1983), but if workers who’ve been laid off and just given up or taken part-time work, are included, that number jumps to 15.8% – the highest since 1994

If you’ve been out of work for over a month, you may be feeling frustrated, or maybe even a little overwhelmed as you see the pages of the calendar turn, with still no job on the horizon.  I’m betting that you’re also worried about some long term issues (e.g., college education, retirement) as well as this immediate crisis.

There are essentially three options in this situation:

1. Panic
2. Continue doing what you’ve been doing (the same things that haven’t yet found you a new job), or
3. Try something different

Option 1:  Panic

The first option, panic, is entirely counter-productive, and should be avoided at all costs.  A little fear is a good thing – it can help us focus and energize us for fight or flight. Panic, unlike fear, debilitates us and degrades our ability to respond to the crises we face.

Option 2:  Keep Doing What You’ve Been Doing

If doing what you have always been doing had been successful for you, you wouldn’t be reading this article right now.  Unless you’re willing to try something new, you’ll end up exactly where you are.

Although there seems to be a little bit of a light at the end of this recessionary tunnel, good people I know have still been unemployed for six months or more.  Despite doing all the “right things” (e.g, answering help wanted ads and sending out resumes), what have they got to show for all that effort?  Zilch, nothing.

Not very many people are getting hired in this economy; many people are not even getting callbacks from their resumes.

Option 3:  Try Something New

The third option – do something different – seems to be the only plausible solution.  With so many options on the table, it is hard to know where to begin?

What would happen if you were to start a home business .

• Don’t worry about being laid off or outsourced again.
• Don’t continue to sell your soul to the company store.

Shift gears; become your own boss!  Start an online business!

A very good place to start for gathering all the necessary education about internet marketing that you will need is to enroll in the Online Success for Beginners program.

The home-based business industry accounts for approximately 7 billion annually and provides many tax benefits, more control over your time, your work, and your money.  Essentially you’d apply the Law of Large Numbers to your individual situation, similar to the way that insurance companies apply that law to minimize their risks. Insurers reduce their loss ratios by sprading their risk across thousands or millions of policyholders.

An internet business will reach thousands, and millions, of prospects allowing you to spread your recessionary risks across multiple people, regions and countries.   To minimize your recessionary risks, do like the insurance companies do – apply the Law of Large Numbers.while building a quality life
