Yeah, It's about that time

What does it take to make it in this economy? Can we depend on the "traditional business" to provide us with income during these turbulent times? Where companies can dispense employees when and however they want whether you worked 20 years or 2 days, you can go at the thought of a decision. What can you do you prepare yourself to continue to work in an economy like this?

First of all, look at your self-worth. Go back and look at your resume' and look at all of the accomplishments that you made. Then compare it to the average position of what companies desire (hint: desired qualifications) and see if you meet or exceed them. If you do, than you are worth more that what the company is asking for and should be compensated accordingly. I learned this actually while attending church in California by the sermon preached by Floyd Flake at Greater St. Stephen. He preached on knowing your "self-worth", what you are worth, what you accomplished, what you are capable of, what are you talents, and finally what do you think of yourself. Once you take a look at all those things, then take a look at what you really want to do with your life. An interest that you have always wanted to pursue but could never manage to take the path towards it. Did you want to become a motivational speaker and open up a non-profit? or did you want to become an artist to share your works within the world? or did you want to open up a restaurant and bar and share your gift of cooking with your neighbors and friends? The things that your heart is in but could never get to because you had to "survive" all this time with your current job. The one that you put forth so much effort and time they are willing to get rid of you with no problem at all. Maybe it's time to take the initiative to realize that interest and pursue it to its fullest potential. It's ok to dream but even better to live it.
