Now is the time to start planning a new career or build a company. Colleges and trade schools have a record number of students. Bad economic times closes a lot of doors, but it opens others. Are you going to sit around and pray you don’t lose your job? Or, are you going to take matters into your own hands?
With all the doom and gloom in the news, take a moment to look for opportunities. What are your interests and strengths? How can you utilize these to make money?
Set your destination and identify several short term goals to get there. Don’t worry about an incomplete plan, you’ll tweak it as you go. As someone once said, “You will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did.”
