Unemployed, Great! Time to Find Out who you Really Are

Unemployed, Great! Time to Find Out who you Really Are

Becoming unemployed can be a scary and uncomfortable feeling.  The uncertainty of what lies ahead for you and how your bills are going to be paid can be daunting.  This is why I want to provide a few alternatives to those who have become unemployed for whatever reason.  Employment or just passing time can be done through volunteering, mentoring or starting your own small business.

When unemployed one suddenly has a lot of time on their hands.  A lot of the time one thinks about what can I do to pass time?  A good activity to partake in is volunteering.  Volunteering doesn’t pay but what it does is position you in a place where potential employers could be.  This can be done at a local children’s center, at a citywide event or with a specific club or organization.   Many times employers will be in these places doing community service and if your there you can be a face for Human Resource Managers.

The next activity one can do is to mentor a young person.  Mentoring can be a great service to someone else because you can provide encourage to them and you can be a source for quality information.  When your unemployed being a mentor can give you something to do and it can too provide unique opportunities that you might not have otherwise considered.

The last and best opportunity for you when unemployed is to start a business.  This is the best time because now you have the time to possibly start a venture that you always wanted to but for some reason never had the time or motivation to carry out.  If you want to start a business but have no ideas then good low cost potentially high return businesses are: a lawn mowing business, a candy vending business, a internet business or starting a blog online.  These are all relatively low cost and can all potentially provide pretty good income.

If you’ve lost your job don’t be scared it just means that a new opportunity is upon you and it just needs to be revealed to you.  This can be found through volunteering, mentoring or starting a new business.  I became separated from my last employment 6 months ago and I found myself lost and didn’t know what to do.  So I chose to do some volunteering, I mentored a young person and I started a small business.  Ever since I’ve been doing well and I have no plans of ever working for anyone else again.  You too can be successful.

Are your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website

I am a 2007 graduate of the University of Kansas where I acquired a BA in Sociology. I have been an Entrepreneur for the last six months due in part by my desire to work for myself and to no longer have a cap on my earning potential.
