Bad news, redundancies, job losses, cut backs shorter hours these are all things that we are being shown on the news. Companies are struggling to stay afloat and make it through these rough times. I live in New Zealand and although we are being told that our country is not being as hard hit as others we still have 1200 people loosing their jobs a week.
This is a horrific amount of people soon there will be no one working at that rate as we are such a small country of only 4 million people!
This is all very depressing and I know many are wondering how they are going to get through the next few months let alone years.
We have 2 univercity students due to finish soon and dispite being highly qualified they will be struggling to find jobs. Normaly one did not think of white collar workers being made redundant but now whole companies are folding. The society that we knew is changing and to keep up with it we need to think outside the square.
During wars and depressions there are always some who benefited from the downturn and even some of them making their fortunes. For example my fathers uncle designed engines in the Second World War in Britain and became a millionaire. Companies that made ammunitions and arms made money beyond their wildest dreams.
Being at the right place at the right time sometimes can make all the difference but often these people have the foresight and tenacity to make something out of nothing.
The world is changing my friend and we need to think differently, instead of look for employment what about being your own boss? What about buying your own job?
At 56, my husband, found himself with out a job and instead of getting disheartened he went out looking for a small business to buy. He purchased a painting a decorating business for $35,000 NZ dollars one year ago. Painting your house is the last thing you want to do when you do not have much money or have run out at the end of a project. So I bought into a very different business which is booming and growing beyond anticipation. I had no previous knowledge of the skills I am using now but have had the most fantastic training and support not normally seen in a big company, which continues to be ongoing.
So if you are looking for a business to buy and take control of your life back you need to be careful about what you get into. Do your homework well as there are good opportunities as well as bad. You need good compensation plans and good commissions and a pension for a start.
