USE DOWNSIZING TO UPSIZE YOURSELF
DOWNSIZING, REDUCTIONS-IN-FORCE, LAYOFFS, etc. are everyday occurrences in
today's business world. If you're the victim of downsizing or any other
form of losing your job, don't worry. Use downsizing to upsize yourself. For example, we know people who:
- Start, or take over, their own business so they're free—forever—of any future downsizing
- Create their own payroll which can give them raises when they need them--not when someone else decides
- Work your their hours—early or late in the day, in accord with your likes and dislikes
- Take a vacation when they want to, not when some unthinking boss tells them to take it
- Building a future for themselves and their loved ones at their own pace--instead of under someone direction
FOR THE BEST CHANCE TO SUCCEED, take the easy steps outlined below, either
for yourself or for a downsized person you help--for a fee:
- Pick a business you like.-You'll do a better job and your customers will feel better served by you
- it has a better chance of success than a startup business
- Put in the needed hours at your business--there's really no substitute for being "on the job" to serve your customers--day and night
- Feature good service, attention, and affection for your customers--let them see that you care
- Don't overstep your knowhow. If a customer has a legal problem, tell him/her to see an attorney; for an accounting problem, recommend seeing a CPA, etc.
