As President Obama’s Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, said last November, “You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.”

Wise words, from a very smart guy.

The media feeds us this scary headline stuff  all the time, or at least until the new scary thing happens ( or they make up a new scary thing to get us all workd up)

These are hard times for many, but there is no reason it has to be hard times for all. For employees, this is a particularly stressful time.  After all, millions are losing jobs, there is no job security, nobody is hiring, and on and on.

Maybe it’s time “to do things you think you could not do before.”

Here’s the point:

We are ALL self-employed.

Each one of us determines the amount of work we do, the quality of that work, and when we work.

Employees let someone else dictate the terms.

Quit being an employee. Build your own Business.

Learn a new, financially valuable skill. Start a Network marketing venture, or make a simple plan to put your current skills to work. Figure out how to provide value, and then find people to provide it to.

It’s not hard to start.

It is easy to quit.  So don’t.

The rewards…personally, professionally, emotionally, and financially are enormous.

Take the first step…make your plan.

A lot of people will help you…just ask.

Build your own Business.
