Great post, Dana! You are so right about building a business. I think that it is important to look at the situation that can turn things around. As Jim Rohn reminds us, sometimes disgust can be a powerful emotion. I know that I got into the world of business when I knew that I was in a Catch-22 when it came to jobs because I have a master’s and am currently studying for a Ph.D. which means that I’m overqualified for part-time work, and I don’t have the time to work full time and study full time at this level. The real question is whether you accept it as your fate or start working to make things better.
Thanks for your comment, Steve! For me, it was the fear of loss that really got me motivated! There are so many unemployed and under-employed in the very same scenario you mention here!
The internet is the best thing that happened in this generation. Virtually anyone, regardless of position, social status, gender, qualification, can become a business owner on the internet. It’s truely the way to get recession proof.
Thanks for sharing..
Absolutely, Ikenna! The Internet is full of exciting possibilities!
