    Job Creation

    Self Motivation



    Most jobs and responsibilities merely maintain the business. Most believe very few jobs give one the chance to build wealth.

    What ever position, or your placement is within the company, there is always a move up to advancement. The employer see’s mediocre employees on a consistent basis, don’t be afraid to change your routine, use your honest creative thoughts to help the company, which in turn helps yourself.

    There are no unimportant jobs, just people who feel unimportant doing their jobs.

    Know this: the company’s sole purpose, number one objective is to make money.

    Success will come to those who focus their attention from being employed to being “Employable”

    When one focuses all thoughts on how to help the company achieve bigger profits, they become a keeper, and create a steady flow of income for themselves, and all the possibilities of moving up the ladder.

    Your thoughts will bring into focus a deep inner seeing, this will then begin to open a doorway that will change your life.

    Most fall short of what they are capable of doing or being. No one is more capable of creating personal opportunity than your self.

    Leaders -- When your mind becomes your own authority. You have the power to release full human potential. You will see into the future, those visions become real as you move forward through life.

    Leader -- The Self Leader, one who discovers that numbers are the key and uses his/her creative thinking to open the doorway that leads to success.



    Sometimes there is a realization that comes, a vision they see, telling them there is a better way of getting things done than the current system that has been set up for them by others.



    You may have heard others say I think, eat, and breathe my job, well take that for what it is worth. Don’t laugh, or ignore it. This is how some of the most successful people who have started at the bottom , and rose to the top in their place of work, or for that matter, in anything they want to achieve.

    Explore your potential and become a self leader within the company you work for.



    Looking into the numbers will always tell a story, using your creative thinking ways to improve the numbers will bring bigger profits to the company you work for, and in return will create opportunities you may not yet even imagined.

    I have been unemployed since last May and I'm about to lose my mind over it. Anyway, this rant would be way too long and far too much information so I'll leave it at that.

    You can read? - lol



    Don't fret my friend. I lived this situation for many years. I was so poor that I took two extra jobs just to pay the bills. The ecouraging part was this. When I talk to my girls about it years later, they had no idea they were missing out on anything. We condition ourselves to be depressed about it. The kids are alright.

    I recently read a book "Don't Buy Anything" I thought it was a joke at first... but this family actually didn't buy anything but food for a whole year. The paid educational and health bills as well as utilities, but didn't buy a book, DVD, magazine, clothes or anything for just one year. It was quite inspiring.!

    Hi Bob, we all depend on money, we all want, want, want, but with all the dishonesty they take, take, take, so we never really have enough. there are three problems of life, money, health, relationships. when we dwell on a problem that is what it becomes, confusion, worried thoughts, anxiety build up and the problem does not get solved and many times get worse, ti stems from how we think about it.



    So how do we solve a problem, its never a problem when it gets solved.

    Three secrets to success

    Silence: many times we carry on with a conversation with ourselvs, what we have to do today, thinking and talking about everything we need to accomplish. we never listen to that voice we may hear telling us what we must do, telling us how we must do it, we usually ignore it or become to busy talking ourselves out of it.



    Listening: stop talking to yourself, and just listen to the good that comes to you, and understand your feelings, those feelings that you know feel right, those feelings are meant to be your motivation. Give thanks when it comes, act upon what you hear, your the only one stopping yourself.



    Self Knowledge: which comes from connecting thoughts the voice guiding you, stop ignoring it. develop awareness, know that what you hear will always be right.



    I hope this helps you my friend.

    at least you don't seem to have lust for money. true needing it and not having it can be a pain. but it's a pain we can live with, and still find ways to be happy.

    I was going to suggest you something but.... nevermind, I just noticed that you have a family. lol

    I was going to suggest you to migrate somewhere else where you don't have to live to work, but work to live. Examples: Europe, South America. LOL

    Given your situation I think the Iowa person has a better answer.

    Listen up kids. We've all either been there or are there. Truth is we probably have more company in our situations now than ever before. So you just keep putting one foot in front of the other & keep moving. We're going to get where we need to be.



    In the meantime though, it is frustrating and at times overwhelming. EP's a good place to come when you're feeling like that. We support each other, we tell silly stories, we laugh & we cry. And we remind each other what's really important in life. Nobody is alone in this.

    I am in pretty much the same situation Bob. Working long hours and not being able to get my head above water really. I just seem to stumble from day to day, nothing is solved. I am owed money from my old boss ... it feels like I'm hitting my head against a brick wall ... often.



    But I find there are days when I feel really good, when optimism seems to clear the clouds away ... on those days I feel I can see a way forward. I just have to focus on those positive times and remember that it's often just my perception which gets in the way and brings on the darkness.

    Be glad for your jobs and your family. I know all too well how fast things change when there's absolutely NO income. It's all right to feel the way you feel though, so give yourself the time to feel sorry for yourself but then drink that coffee and keep on working. Believe me, I wish I had work to distract me from my problems again for a little while! Even if it didn't pay all the bills, at least it was a job. Hang in there and take it day by day. It's all there is to do.
