Because no one is going to pay you money for being unemployed. Starting a business is not for the rich, it is for the unsteady professional with a narrow specialization wanting to become remarkable. I was one among the job hoppers wanting to earn a living by starting a business and I learn few lesson’s a hard way along the road. 1. Don’t think BIG, Think Small, PRACTICAL and REALISTIC. Why?

How to Start a Small Business Part 1 By Varun Pratap 9 years ago, I decided I would rather struggle and starve than find a normal 9-5 hr (is there such thing as 9-5? I wonder) JOB. I was just a greenhorn right out of high school at ripe age of 17. I had my shares of ups and downs. And boy, do I have few horror stories to share? Today after putting together a successful business, I often wonder if I’d do things differently if I have to start again. Of course there are tons of things but I am going to highlight most important ones here. I know these are going to help you a lot. I don’t know why you are starting out? may be you don’t like your boss or may be you think it’s better to work yourself and make all the money. Regardless of your reasons, you’ll find this list helpful. Don't forget you can use these techniques on internet too. 1. Have More confidence in Your Skill : No matter who you meet, be it an expert businessman or an authority figure in your niche. Have more confidenc...
Sundays Are For Reflections!

Sundays Are For Reflections! By MarieLouise Falk Thank God for Sunday. A day for reflection. Life is moving as I feel it in different speeds. When we were kids the seasons were so long. The winter holidays were extreme long. The snow was deep and high. Our summers were very hot. In the early teenage time seemed to speed up little more. Do you remember your older relatives always made comments like Gosh how big you are now and oh what time is running away. Now you can relate to those comments. So what can we do? Is it always like this? I think when you are busy and you are happy time is moving faster. When you are sad, unhappy and do not have things to do time seems to stand still. What is the advice then? Time is always moving so we can not do anything about that. It is the way we see it or interpret it. Lucky us we can not do anything to change the time so it has to be ourselves. Take the Sunday to reflect on how you use the time. Is it important to do that? Well it is all up to you....

Vision Directed Interviews: How to Succeed within Interviews By: Pamela Watson You've probably read numerous job interview tips which list the ways to respond to the difficult interview questions: Tell me about Yourself; What are your work-related weaknesses?; Why are you leaving your current employer? These are the usual dreaded questions that we all expect to hear from interviewers. Typically interviewees are advised to create well-prepared and rehearsed scripts to respond to these dreaded questions. And so, during the course of the interview, interviewees sit on the edge of their seats waiting to respond, trying to remember the correct answers. And consequently, the interview becomes a race, a highly tense setting designed to stay one step ahead of the other with scripted conversation and pre-planned positioning and second-guessing. The possibility of authentically assessing the merits of the position and being able to evaluate how you might fit within the company's culture...

Career Changes for Baby Boomers: Ability, Not Age, Matters By: Kelli Smith Baby boomers. They're the generation born between 1946 and 1964. They came of age in the early 70s and early 80s. They're the generation that made changes and waves, worked harder and longer, put off marriage and children, did things differently than previous generations. Whether because of financial necessity or because they have something to offer, baby boomers are staying in the workforce longer. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data and projections indicate that by 2010 there should be 18.5 million boomers ages 45 to 49 in the labor force, as compared to 14.7 in 1995, and 16.8 million versus 10.6 million in the 50- to 54-years-old range. They're still making changes. They're retiring later, or not at all. If not downsized or laid off, boomers often continue to work. When they don't choose to continue in the same career, it doesn't mean they're ready to stop contributing, and so...
