Are You Afraid of Losing Your Job?
Are you afraid of losing your job? If so, you are not alone. A recent survey by workforce consulting firm Right Management shows that 70% of workers surveyed do not use all of their vacation days allotted for the year. The speculation here of course is that they are foregoing vacation days not because they love their jobs so much, but rather for fear that they might not have a job when they get back from vacation.
The lackluster economy has taken its toll psychologically on the ranks of workers within corporate America. Even within the world of small business, jobless claims have been on the rise. People that never even thought about losing their jobs are on a heightened state of alert with regard to their future job security. It has been well documented in research that this kind of stress sustained over a long period of time can lead to all sorts of problems both at home and in the workplace.
So, what can you do if you are worried about losing your job? Start your own business. Sounds like a crazy idea, but you don't have to quit your current job in order to do it. You can start a business from your home part time and earn income online. Thanks to technology and the internet, the opportunities to generate multiple sources of income are virtually endless. You name it and chances are there is a business on the internet doing it right now. All it takes is a desire to stake your claim, a good business plan, and some hard work. Also, you don't need a lot of money to get started. Many home based business entrepreneurs have started very successful businesses on a shoe string budget and now have multiple sources of supplemental income.
How would it make you feel about your current job if you were earning an additional $1,000 per month through your own part time business? How would your life be different if you generated an additional $10,000 per month? Just the process of thinking about starting your own home based business can help to relieve a lot of stress and worry about losing your job. Having your own home business with multiple sources of income could change the way you feel about your day job. Sure, it would stink to lose your job unexpectedly. But if you have a home business that generates enough income to pay the bills, then it would not be the end of the world.
