You’ve
seen those articles on Yahoo and MSN that tell you what job fields are growing
and what jobs are disappearing in the present economy. Here’s a quick example:
The fastest growing jobs: Software Developer, Market Research analyst, Medical
assistant, Personal Finance advisor and Pharmacy technician.
Question:
How many of you are trained to fill those positions? Are you unemployed and thinking
about going back to school to get specialized training? Is it possible those
positions will already be glutted with applicants by the time you’re ready and
have run up about 50-70 grand in student loans?
Here’s
a list of job that are being phased out or outsourced: File clerk, journalist,
air traffic controller, farmers, ranchers, customer service, receptionists, bookkeepers,
and tax preparers. There are considerably more but I believe it’s more likely
you have a job that’s being phased out than one that’s growing.
Here’s
something else you may not know. It takes approximately 200 thousand new good jobs
a month to maintain the status quo, 300 thousand good new jobs a month to start
making a dent on unemployment and the national debt. Here’s what’s not being
reported. The NEW jobs that are being created are not good jobs, they are minimum
wage jobs, and are mostly PART-TIME. Even at full time (40 hours a week) the
yearly salary is STILL BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL.
Did you know this? Those whose unemployment insurance has run out are no longer
being counted in the job growth figures!
Bottom
line. The Middle class was nearly destroyed by 2008’s Great Recession.
Unemployment rates from then till now still staggeringly high! But don’t worry,
the analysts says, the economy is picking up and things will be back to normal
soon!
For
heaven’s sake, friends, DON”T BELIEVE THEM. THOSE JOBS ARE NOT COMING
BACK!
Do
you know what has come back? Advertisements from banks and financial advisors
asking you to LET THEM HANDLE YOUR MONEY because they know how to invest.
REALLY!??
Remember Jim Cramer? That wall street wizard whose daily show advised people
what stocks to invest in and which one to dump. Have we already forgotten HOW
WRONG he was and how much money his ‘financial advice’ cost investors?
But
they know how it works. They know that even though they had to take a
government bail-out of our money to keep from going under, their spin doctors
have shown them that if they barrage you with ads that show them making their
clients money again and again and again, you’ll overlook the FACT THAT THEY DON”T
KNOW ANYMORE NOW THAN THEY DID THEN and you’ll foolishly turn your money over.
The
reason why we do this however is understandable. We don’t have the training and
experience to understand the quirks of the stock market and it is true that the
stock market does provide the best results regarding return on investment (ROI)
But
you can LEARN. And you should because its your hard earned money and your
future you’re preparing for.
But
the sad point is because of the 2008 recession very few of us have
the money to invest. Most of us are working several part time jobs and are
barely making ends meet.
The
time has come for us to REMEMBER WHAT WE HAVE FORGOTTEN.
125
years ago, most our ancestors lived on farms, raised their own crops and made a
living without multinational corporations. The concept was simple enough. Grow corps,
build something, or sell something for someone, then live off the money your
work has produced. We survived for thousands of years using that simple system
and the time has come for us to stop going to corporations with a ‘Please sir,
can I have some more?’ attitude and set off on our own.
You
need to start your own business.
Am
I serious? Friends, I am damn serious! Because
I know for a fact, that for most of you, starting your own business is likely
to be your only option. You only need look at the numbers to see what I’m
saying is true. Corporations are outsourcing jobs to the equally talented, but
considerably less expensive, Asian Indians, Chinese and southeast Asian
countries like Vietnam and Thailand. So unless you have specialty training that
cannot be outsourced, your position will go to the cheapest bidder.
Just
imagine how you will feel if that happens just as your children are starting
college and you are starting your look your age. But you have decades of
experience! Yes, but at middle age insurance costs increase, as does the likelihood
that you will have a heart attack, contract cancer or be emotionally waylaid by
divorce.
“But
what do I know about starting a business?” you ask. “I have no clue how to go
about it.”
Neither
did I when I started out. Faced with little choice I just did it and you can
too. As an example, I’d like you to view three short (under a minute) videos I
had made for my company Ari Publishing.

Pretty good, right? The thing is I
had each one made for less than it costs for a six-pack of beer!
No kidding. Want to know how I did it
and how you can find very valuable products and services that can help you
start your business? Then click this link to go to my Ari Publishing business
