Innovative Opportunities: A Byproduct of Unemployment

Unemployment may not be a welcomed situation, but we are learning that it is not always a bad situation either. Remarkably, we are seeing a recent trend where some top managers of large companies are up and quitting their jobs without having another offer lined up. These mavericks are announcing to the business world that they have higher aspirations and they have the courage and self confidence to pursue them. â€œThe decision to quit a senior position to look for a better one is unconventional, to say the least. For years executives and headhunters have hewed closely to the rule that the most attractive CEO candidates are the ones who must be poached.â€ (McGregor, 2009) Changing the rules of the game and making it your game- that is exactly the type of attitude I strive to uncover in people.

Small business profits – threat or opportunity

Turn-on your television or pick up a newspaper and all that is reported right now, apart from the present swine flu problem, is the "credit crunch" - falling house prices, rising unemployment, businesses going bust, repossessions, bankruptcies and more... So what should small businesses do? Well this depends on whether you see this as an opportunity or a threat. There are no doubt certain businesses that will find these times more difficult than others, for example, only today there are reports about how the number of unemployed lorry drivers has gone up almost 5-fold since this time last year. Where businesses are selling less and therefore resulting in a less of a need for transport, then transport companies will see a dip in demand and as a consequence might need to make redundancies.

Are there any businesses that are recession-proof?

There are probably many businesses that are recession-proof, but things might be different in the present down-turn as things might get tougher with falling property prices, rising unemployment and so on.

This search will turn up sites giving you their wisdom on top tips to survive a recession along with other blogs and websites telling you which businesses are most likely to survive during a recession. I will leave it to you to decide on which of these writers know their stuff. However, if you hit on something that looks like the type of business you would like to buy or even set up yourself, then do a bit more research on that type of business.

Humbly grateful or gratefully humble? In a recent sermon Dr. Jack Graham of Prestonwood Baptist Church in Dallas points out that each person in his or her lifetime will cultivate either an attitude or spirit of thanksgiving, gratitude and thankfulness, or an attitude or life as a cynic, full of anger, bitterness and arrogance. He expands on this by pointing out that a grateful child, by-and-large, is far more likely to be a happy child. He also says a person who is hostile, angry and critical, who is a fault-finder, is basically an ungrateful person.

The Desperation Solution

You have probably heard it said that necessity is the mother of invention. If necessity is its mother, desperation must certainly have been its father. Creative people often come up with breakthrough solutions only when they're forced to. Professors from the University of Chicago and Harvard determined that there is direct correlation between when unemployment runs out and when people get a job. While desperation may be a great motivator, it's not always the most productive way to perform with excellence. I believe there is a win/win solution here as you and I-as mature, functioning people-can set our own deadlines.

Unfortunately, with workplace negativity these small issues, if not handled accurately, can fester into bigger issues within the entire organization.

Well, we've all heard plenty about the major down turn that we're in the midst of. The news media is having a real hay day with it all.

Let's say for the moment that we live in a universe where there are no accidents. I know that can be a bit of a challenge in its own right, especially when it looks like there's been a major accident on the universal freeway, but I don't think so. I think it's more likely that we've been paid a visit from the Universal UPS Truck.

Online Business? Why Do We Need One?

A few years ago, the economy was roaring. Stock prices were going up, interest rates were staying low, the online business industry was booming and unemployment was down. A year later and those indicators were all going in opposite direction. It is difficult to know if the turmoil is over but we have to have faith. We have to be optimistic that the current situation is a short-term one and we have to believe that long-term prospects of growth and good times are just around the corner. But that doesn't mean that there won't be downturns, along the way. We have to ask ourselves: 'are we ready to take advantage of the good as well as the bad times - are we ready to start an online business?'

When times are tough, Market, Market, Market!

Tough times drive most business owners to look for ways to cut costs. The fact is, there are two ways to maintain viability when the economy is bad. You can either cut costs, OR, increase sales!

Are You Worrying about Retention During the Recession? You'd Better Be!

Is retention an issue for your company? Recently when I've asked this question of folks, their immediate response is a loud "NO" quickly followed by "employees are lucky to have a job right now. We don't have to worry about retaining them. They aren't going anywhere." In a sarcastic tone, I quickly retort with something like, if you were to lose a good employee right now, what would that turnover cost you?
