Top Ten Signs that you Need MORE THAN A JOB!

Statistics shows that about 75% of the people working today are unhappy with their current employment, jobs, positions.

One reason is that their talents are wasted because they have outgrown their current position and status with their employer. They are finding themselves stagnant, and disenchanted.

Discontentment begins to move in mysterious ways....as it propells the curious and courageous to look for new possiblities, and venture to investigate, gather information, take notice, and sieze an opportunity when it presents itself. Creating a willingness to take a risk.

"Opportunities don't go away, they just go to other people"


Take notice to the Top Ten Signs That You Need MORE THAN A JOB.

It’s a bit like a Letterman Top Ten.

They’re a bit tongue-in-cheek, but there’s a bit of truth in all of them.

1: You’re OUT-GO exceeds your IN-COME. It's time to create MORE MONEY.


2: The most rewarding thing you did this week was sharpen all 12 of your pencils to the same
length.


3: You’re reluctant to be a "Career Day" speaker at your kid’s fourth grade class.

4: Everyone in your workgroup got a raise ... except you.

5: You were late for work three times this week, ... but you don’t care.

6: There’s a meeting at 3:00 to talk about the upcoming reorganization, but you’re not invited.

7: Your boss keeps forgetting your name.

8: You constantly daydream about being a forest ranger.

9: Your company was recently acquired and you spent two weeks worrying that you’d be laid off... After that ... you worried that you wouldn’t be.

10: And the top ten reason to quit your job? You are unchallenged, need more responsibility, and seek opportunities that just don't exist for you in your current organization.


You've explored the current and potential options, and they are limited.


It's time to quit your job.

Could it BE??

It May Be Time .... You may need MORE THAN A J.O.B.!!

Entrepreneur ??? ... Mmmmmmmmmmm

Entrepreneur? Mmmmmmmmm.... I wonder!

But is it for ME???

This is a question with no definite answer. It will all depend on the individual.




en·tre·pre·neur (ŏn'trə-prə-nûr', -nʊr') n.
A person who organizes, operates, and assumes the risk for a business venture.

Many people have goals, dreams or ambitions but do not know how to go about achieving them. They may have thought about what it would be like to be an Entrepreneur ... and their ideal life, but have no idea how to even begin to make the plans and take the actions required to make this a reality.

Some people have a vague idea on how to go about self-employment. These are the ones that believe that if only they had a better job, or had been given better opportunities, or met the love of their life, or whatever else, everything would be fine and they would be happy.

They feel that their happiness or lack of happiness is decided by external factors and their thoughts and actions are of little consequence.

Some believe that if only they had more money they could have whatever they want and be on their way to self improvement.

They may have spent little time thinking about what they actually want from life, and do not really believe there is anything they can do to create their fuzzy version of utopia anyway, apart from buying more lottery tickets.

Other people do not even know what they actually want from their lives and may even have little idea what would really makes them happy. They seem to just drift from day to day, week to week, month to month, and year to year, and do little more than just about get by.

They may have seemingly secure jobs and be earning enough to live relatively comfortable lives. They seem happy enough and have no great ambition to achieve anything more from their lives than they currently have.

An Entrepreneur, is it for YOU?

The reality is that throughout our lives we are all constantly growing and developing. Circumstances make us grow and develope, even if we do not make the conscious decision to do so.

Up to a certain age, we learn through formal education and we continue to learn through our experiences for the rest of our lives. Life, as we experience it today, is moving at a dramatically faster pace than at any other time in history. For all of us alive at this time, there are more opportunities to do anything and everything that you could possibly want to do with your life ... more fantastic than ever before.

But there is also more competition than ever before, and ever changing technology means that there really are few, if any ‘jobs for life’ anymore. It is now normal not only to change jobs quite often throughout our working lives, but even to completely change careers and industries.

Have you considered, perhaps. an Entrepreneur?

A commitment to self reliance, self empowerment, self improvement and personal growth may well be the deciding factor in how anyone’s future will turn out.

Could your next step, possibly, be self employment?
