If you have been watching the news lately, which I recommend only watching very rarely, you would notice that our economy is still not doing all that great. Bernanke (Chairman of The Federal Reserve) even went on the record recently to state that it would be very many years before our job market would strengthen back to normal hiring levels. It's still the worst economy in many years at least in terms of employment.
I think now it is more important then ever to create a Plan B (back-up strategy). In other words if you think your employer, government, or anyone has got your back - think again. The number one skill you can acquire during these difficult times is the skill of becoming The CEO of YOU. That's right, you need to start thinking and acting like an entrepreneur. If not, you may find yourself dependent on everyone but you. You might be saying, I hate being pushy, or sales, or starting a business. An entrepreneur basically, just thinks outside of the box and capitalizes on their hobbies, strengths, money, etc...
Truthfully, most of the entrepreneurs I know who are very successful are not all that bright, at least not that book smart. But they have a strong unshakable belief in themselves. They are not usually dependent on anyone. And many don't even have a higher education degree, although they employ such.
So start thinking out of the box and key in on your talents & strengths and find areas where you could create other income streams without going deep into debt in 2011. This may be your saving grace as we enter into a new era.
