![]() Hey! There are now 5,000 people who have lost their jobs in my small area of the country. Over 12% Unemployment. Even our local Indian Casino gave severance pay to 51 workers today. (Even GAMBLING is feeling the ravages of this downturn)
This year will mark that old phrase; "When the going gets tough, the TOUGH get going!" Many folks just "whine" about their "situation" and hope they can find something to do before their Unemployment runs out. A small percentage decide to DO something. One guy who lost his job a few months ago asked me if I knew of a way he could make some money to support his wife and 4 kids AND...to "save his house"! I asked him if he would be willing to "work evenings"....like...."8pm to 4am"? He responded with, "Hey! If I gotta shovel "s---" I'll do it. So....I told him their are parking lots around our area that Managers of these lots would PAY to have cleaned of TRASH. I told him there are 2 companies that do the "Big Stuff"....however....there are MANY smaller parking lots that are too small for the Big-Boys to bother with. THIS is where he comes in. I told him I'd help him get the jobs if he'd be willing to do the work...from 8 at night on. AND....I told him I'd show him how to make a Special Trash Picker-Upper that would make his "Clean-Up" job easier and faster. He agreed. So...we met the next morn and I proceeded to "sell jobs for him". I got Apartment Complexes, Bowling Alley, Small Strip Malls, Video Rentals, Mini-Markets, small department stores, restaurants, hardware stores, lumber yards, banks....anywhere there's parking for cars. He then went out and got his own jobs so that, as of last Friday, when we met for lunch he told me he is now making $300 A NIGHT....6 Nights a week, $1,800 a WEEK! And....he is going to hire a helper so he can get his gross up to $600a night. So....2009 will NOT be the same as 2008, financially. Many folks will be hurt, financially. HOWEVER....there are some who will actually PROSPER. It all depends on "YOU"! Take this "Lemon" and "Make Lemonade"! Don Alm |
