As an Executive Recruiter for many years, I have seen the job market at its best and worst. For most of us, this is the worst we’ve ever seen. Recently you may have noticed articles talking about “The Hidden Job Market”. This is true, while companies are not adding to their headcount, there is some attrition that will take place and they may need to replace that employee.
But what they don’t mention is that employees are hanging on to their jobs for dear life! They realize that there are ten people waiting in line for their job and not only are they going to stay but they are going to work harder and longer. And who could blame them?
Here’s the problem, there are very few, if any jobs out there, more being cut every day. And the “lucky” people that get to keep their jobs are working longer hours and sometimes for less money. When do you think that mentality will change? Even when the economy recovers, that will continue!!
So therefore, you need to decide what kind of life you want for you and your family. Do you want to continue to play this Corporate game, working more for less? Always in fear of losing your job and very livelihood? For what? A J.O.B- which as we all know, means, “Just Over Broke”! This is no way to live.
Some have therefore decided to take back their control and work for themselves. According to the Small Business Administration, 99 percent of employers in the United States are small businesses — many of which are run out of home-offices.
The remaining question most people ask me is “How do I get started” or “What type of Business do I start?” Well, my answer would be to find a business that has a proven track record of success. You don’t need to re-invent the wheel. Follow what the successful people are doing. How do you go about doing that you may be asking yourself?
I invite you to do your homework and find a business that fits your lifestyle and pocketbook. There are many options out there. But know this, you can go and buy a franchise for hundreds of thousands of dollars (if you have that kind of capital) and not see a return on your investment for up to 5 years or more.
Most people don’t have that kind of money or time. There is another option and that’s what I help people do, start their own business for less than it costs for a pizza and a beer. But the best part is that there is absolutely no risk and you can see a return on your investment your first month.
