| anybody have a job? Posted: 10/27/2009 2:50:55 PM | I'm on my own, counting on other folks, to keep on providing lots of jobs, so that my business keeps afloat. Some clients who were into construction, have taken on part time jobs to keep afloat, as things have slowed here in SC. A few who depend on selling homes and/or real estate, have spaced out appointments. But I was lucky enough to take on a few newer clients to fill in, for the ones who spaced further out in weeks. Thus far, all is still balanced out nicely.
When the economy gets shaky, and especially this bad, the self employed can get a little rattled-stressed and is forced to make changes to adjust and survive. It’s not about keeping one job or two, it’s about creating and keeping many repeated jobs coming in, over and over again. If not enough jobs keep coming in, there is no unemployment to collect, just the nest egg savings to rely on. For me, folks love their pets and make sacrifices to take care of them, and that is part of my survival, through this horrible mess. The other parts are low overhead, remaining frugal, watching Clark Howard and staying positive. | |
