JOB AND BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES - HOW TO CREATE THEM

There is unemployment problem every where in the world. Unemployment statics are showing increasing rate in many countries. We also hear news of businesses going down and financial crisis.

However don't be affraid because of the unemployment figures and economic analysis , YOU STILL CAN GET A JOB AND MAKE BUSINESS as you are going to learn now:-

Most of us have forgotten the Most important person who can make us get a job or business opportunity. That person is US. I mean if I am talking to you , then it is YOU, yourself, you may have forgotten what you can do for yourself.

Here are a few tips to see how YOU can make it possible: 

YOUR CONTACTS:  It is about who you know, what you communicate and how you communicate. Have you thought of the best way to use your contacts to achieve what you want - either it is job, or business opportunity ? How do you use them ? 

Ok, may be we add here reminder of some ways to increase your contacts - facebook, twitter, linkedin, etc you can also add social networking services for sharing pictures .

Have you thought of putting on the picture of your products there? Have you thought of letting people know what you do? What you are good at ? And how do you convince them? Are you 'dressed up' for that purpose? what I mean here is: do you give your contacts the clue of who you are. 

YOUR SKILLS / QUALIFICATIONS: You went to school/college/university because you were suppossed to acquire a certain knowledge. The question here is did you get knowledge from the college or just certification ? You can express that you have knowledge/skills to those whom you are targeting to help you get a job or business. It is about building trust and convince to those you think to make it possible for you. Don't just wait for job opportunity, there are many organizations that you could do something to show you are able to add value to them , try them with that thing that you can prove you are good in what you say you are good at. It is not guaranteed, but it worth giving a try. If you do not have good level of qualification, it is time to stand up and get one.

YOUR FEAR: Nothing is possible unless something is put into action. Yes, there can be chances of failure, but it worth trying because even when you fail, you will have some knowledge and experience. As Dan Stanford said; " experience is what you get when you don't get what you want"

Many people have been put back by fear. You have good qualifications, good skills but you are afraid to apply a certain job. Or you have very good idea for business. But then you stop and think, " what if I fail?"

Take risks, but only calculated risks - the risks that you can bear the consequences when they happen. And we have very good way of working up to our dreams, if you have a fear then plan for what you will do when that thing you are worried about happens. Then go and do what you have to do, because you already have a way to face what you think is negative.

YOUR PRIORITIES: Many of us are failed by how we make our priorities or may be we don't even have a list of priorities. 

For example, you think of opening a business so you need to accumulate a certain amount of fund, but at the same time, holidays are coming, or you also run a plan to go for studies. All these require funds, then how do you manage all that is through setting up a list of priorities and manage yourself how you spend your resources. 

A good example of priorities is also on how you use your time like your time on internet. What are your priorities? Is the way you spend your time on facebook or other social networks explain what your priorities are ? 

I don't mean you should not have fun, yes having fun is very very important. But have do you manage yourself to the extent you achieve what really matters to you at that particular moment like having a job or business opportunitiy ?

YOUR PLANNING:  We all expect that we will have a long time in this world, yes death is there, but if we want to stay focused, we should believe that we will stay for a long time in this world. 

If this is the case, do we really plan to face life even in the long period of time ? For example you are improyed now, have you stopped asking yourself  in the next five years where you want to be whether with that organization you are there today or not.

You have a business, have you thought of seeing you business changing in the next few months or years?

You are a student ? Have you stopped and think what life you will have after school ? You know you will apply for job, but do you know ahead, what you will be needed to have so that you can get a good job? Are you aware that your qualification alone without the ability and techniques to show what you are capable of will not increase the chances for you to get a job ?

So what to do? 

Stop worrying, stop complaining, start good planning and use wisely your time , contacts and other resources.

Opportunities are everywhere, it is just for us to see them. You should believe that we actually do not create opportunities , we just organize things so that we can see them. 

Let us see the truth in the statement: 

"What matters is not what you have, it is how you use what you have"
