If you have a full-time day job you depend on, its time to look into the future and ask yourself some hard questions, why would you try to find a good job

First there is the ever-present threat of what companies like to call downsizing. In other words, they fire employees in order to improve company profits.

Downsizing may be the result of improvements in technology, and the need for fewer human hands and minds, the growth of overseas competitors or pressure from Wall Street investors.

Then there is the threat of outsourcing this is why i would not keep searching for a job.

This is a growing threat and happens when companies find they can outsource jobs and whole departments to employees overseas...typically in India, the Far East and Eastern Europe. Again, its all about profits. People in those countries get paid a lot less for doing the same job.

You are particularly vulnerable to having your job outsourced if you work in customer service, manufacturing, fashion or Information Technology.

Will that job still exists in five or ten years?

If you lose that job, will it be easy to find another one?

If you do lose your job, do you have money put aside? How long could you last before running out of cash?

If you are within ten years of retirement, and you lose your job soon, do you have enough retirement savings put aside?

The bottom line is this: if you depend on an employer for your income, then your livelihood and future are at risk.

The idea of job security is something you can no longer depend on.

  • i know i just got fired too at MNU AS A DISHWASHER I WORCKED thre for 16 to 17 years it is now over for me but you sad start my awon bizzns but it couset money how much it start one?

  • @BIRDANGAL No one is secured is this economy, the only way to get ahead is to become apart of free enterprise. Work on yourself, a job has a cap you will never get paid what you are worth until every one realizes that they will always be stuck. To answer your question it depends on what biz opportunity your looking at. The one I am working with its a $230.00 start up cost.

  • I was jus wondering, what your business is?

    I want to start my own business, and work for myself, but im having the hardest time figuring out what that business should be.

    How did you go about figuring that out?

    thnx

  • @ridinglass5S

    First you have to find out why you want to start your own home based business, you have to have passion and let no one stand in your way. Find out what your passionate about , is it health and wellness?, financial education? or travel, There are many different companies out there but find your purpose.

    Myself I chose travel cause for me I always wanted to have time and freedom but never had time or money.

    How much do you want to make a month? Be realistic to yourself

  • Yes, 38 years and poof???? I myself worked for the largest telecom for 23 years and was also laid off with the same result, POOF!!! Gone!

    We cannot allow our futures to stay in the hands with ilintent. If we do it is our own fault. It is time to stand up and force change!

  • We can replace American manufacturing jobs, fix our economic woes and improve life for everyone in America IF....IF we force the special interests OUT of our way! THEY are the reason for our present mayhem. So profound how exceptionally important the Wall Street protest truly are!!!!! Our freedoms needed for true entrepreneurialism have been encroached upon and I'm sure it will take a fight to regain them!!!!!! How can we wake people up to this?

  • I think it is time to concentrate very hard on exactly how to exclude that greedy stock holder demand as I believe that is the root of the problem. Funny how so many say there is no reason why the Occupy Wall Street protests have been taking place hey? I think we all know how they work in their lobbying efforts and legislation to ensure the li'l guy cannot intrude on their turf. Much of this legislation has GOT to be unconstitutional and in my belief is where we should start adn pave the path.

  • What I mean by "Have they left the back door open to new businesses" is has the greed risen so high it would be easy for new entrepreneurs to manufacture and thrive on a much lower profit not governed by stock holder demands thus becoming much more consumer friendly. Although I do understand the value of financial resources allocated to R & D, How much can new business, consumers and the country benefit from the elimination of stock holder demand?

    Continued on next post..........

  • So if their reduced costs help them to be more competitive why is it they bring those products back into the country to sell to the very people that have lost their jobs with less ability to buy their products while at the same time increasing the costs to the consumer? I think this destroys the competitive claim and demonstrates nothing less than greed. WALL STREET!!!

    So in that I have this question: Is it possible they have become SO greedy they have left the back door open for new businesses?

  • You are exactly right with everything you say! But in deciding what is the best route to go it can be very complicated, especially with todays economy. I personally like many others do assume this:

    In regards to manufacturing the main reason for outsourcing is to increase profits. They claim they need to be competitive and the only way they can be so is to outsource for cheaper labor and reduced regulatory costs.

    Continued on next post.......

  • Hard-core results come from igniting the massive power of emotional commitment. Are your people committed?

    Let’s get right on top of the bottom line: You must live your personal values at work. Check out slapCompany
