Jobless Isn't the End of the World. It May be the Start..

Jobless isn't the end of the world. Some people overreact when they lose their jobs, like it's the end of the world for them. It's understandable, especially when people think their jobs are the only way they can support their families--because that's how their minds have been conditioned through the years.

But this is a great deception. Jobs are not the only means we can get a livelihood, even for you who do not have enough money to start a business. So what if you lost your job? There are lots of alternatives around. You can start with your own buy and sell business, for instance. You can associate with a licensed real estate broker and help him sell his properties. I started out like that and got good money out of my commission helping a real estate broker sell her properties. I also got good money helping someone sell her car.

By doing the above, I didn't have any boss. I made good money even while being jobless. You can also try making your own goods and sell them. I saw a lady on TV who was interviewed about how she started a business with P500 selling molded chocolates. It grew into a big business, and now she's jobless big-time! Imagine starting out with a mere P500? You don't need big capital. You need big imagination.

My son gets good money now and then by selling coffee. He sells 10 boxes of coffee and gets P1,000 for it. He delivers them to his customers. You just need to imagine how to make money, have the guts to actually do it, and presto! Then, you can figure out how to improve on your sales strategy and sell more. Soon, before you realize it, you'd get more orders than you can handle, and need to hire extra hand. That's how a lot of businesses started--through a small and simple direct selling activity. Then you later end up being jobless big-time!

I know of a small group of students who started with tutoring kids with their computer assignments. Today, they have a university business which is a famous computer college in the Philippines. They started being jobless with tutoring sidelines. Now, they're jobless big-time. You can start out like this, too! Just have the imagination and guts!
