Is the recession the mother of invention?

Tired of Looking for Work, Some Create Their Own - NYTimes.com

Some excellent points in the NYTimes article that are worth sharing:

• Those looking for work often take too long to realize that starting a business of their own is the answer to replacing their income.
• The internet has become an extraordinary tool not just to market ideas but also to find business partners and suppliers and to run a business inexpensively.
• The goal may not be creating a company that will make billions but to have an idea that will produce revenue quickly, serving immediate needs of others.
• Finding new ways to make money is painful but healthy at the same time.
• Instead of spending the energy looking for a job and sending out a gazillion resumes, refocus that energy into work that really interests you, making profitable work for yourself.

If you're struggling with your job search, I hope you'll be inspired by the stories mentioned and reach for the help of others to keep you moving forward. I've worked with many people in the same situation and get them moving quickly toward regaining their confidence, and their income.
