Lies, Lies, and More Lies, We Have All Been Lied To.

These are not small lies. They are Big. Some are the cause of ruin for many people. Have you heard this one: Go to school, get good grades, get your education. Now it is time to get a job, work hard and you will get what you want in life.

Really, in these economic times. It is not a sure thing about a job. Here today gone tomorrow. It is not just the media, government or financial institutions telling these hurtful lies.

Often it is those that your trust most and are the closest to you that tell you these lies as well. They should have your best interest at heart. They say "stay in your daytime job, it's safer." How safe is it today with so many out of work and more lay to off coming?

Some people through you a life line, that are nothing but lies. They make offers that they can not back up. They make it look solid, but it is just quick sand with you ending up at the bottom, with failed hopes and dreams all over you.

Together all these thing are responsible for the hopelessness, feeling of doom and gloom. There are ways out of this mess one person at a time. But if the people believe the gloom and doom, then they will not get ahead. They will not change what they are doing.

You can start your own online business. It has to be the right business.

Can you turn a negative into a positive and make money from it. Some can, are you one of them?
Sometimes you have to think outside the box. You lost your job at age 60. Now what do you do?
Do you give up, lay down and die. Or do you find a way to make it a positive, not a negative.
We saw not to long ago a man put his face, name and website on a billboard for all to see that he wanted to work. He had people contact him. Would you contact him? He thought outside the box. What can you think of.

The Government says we will Bail out this economy. I for one am not willing to wait for the Government to get it done for me.

The internet does not take much money to get started with, not as much as it would with another kind of business. It is best if you can find a mentor to help you along the way. (Be careful of the wolves in sheep clothing.) Some would lie to you, just to get your money and run.

These are a few more of the lies that we are told every day:
* This is a good company you will have job security here-a lie.
* The Government is going to fix the mess that they started in the first place-it is a lie.
* You will be able to depend on Social Security-another lie.
* Government has your best interest in everything that they do-it is the biggest lie. They are just looking for power for themselves. They do not care about the common person. So this to is a lie.

Running your own business puts things back in your control, what others have tried to take from you and out of your control.

A job is something that pays you just enough for you to stay, but not enough for anything else.
Job is:
J-Just
O-Over
B-Broke
Is this where you want to stay? Just Over Broke. Living pay check to pay check. How do you want to get financial freedom? Is your J. O. B. going to give it to you?

What dreams have you been putting off or have let die all together? Are you letting fear stand in your way. Walk around fear. Do not let Fear stop you from getting what you want. Are you taking action for yourself or are you waiting for the government? It is time to set your goals and move forward one step at a time. Take Action Now. Now is the best time to go forward.

The trick is to find what people really want and give it to them at a good price. More people today are growing a garden. Seed are great to sell. So are gardening tips for those just getting started in growing a garden. What do they need to know step by step. Something that goes along with that is, how to do canning? If they are going to grow it they will need to know how to preserve the food that they have taken the time to grow. Recipes are also needed for canning.

"How To Do..." product of all kinds are something that people want. Things that they can use. Something that they will pay for as well.

Can you fill the needs of other people. They are looking for solutions to the problem that they are having. Can you find a way to be the solution to the problem that many people are having.

Look for a problem that people are having. Can you be the one that points them in the right direction. Help them to find a way to fix the problem. They will keep coming back, again and again.

How did you take action? What solution did you find for yourself or for others? We would like to hear from you. If you do enough things to help others, then that helps you to get to were you want to be even faster. Keep helping others and yourself.

Hi Dan & Deanna .. I guess you're feeling pretty wound up about this subject? .. how true!!

However we do need people who are prepared to have jobs, we can't exist in today's society without some form of production, retail, transport etc etc going on.

Again there's also a big opportunity to look at other things and become an entrepreneur and start another business - develop a niche, or express your passion ..

Good post .. and I hope it'll help some people see the light ..

Thanks

Hilary, we are just saying to take control of your own life. That you do not have to let others control it for you. Then you do not have to feel hopeless and wonder if you are going to be the next one out of work.Have a good day.

Hello Dan & Deanna,

I have not been here for long time. And I regretted it after reading this article. You are totally right that we should build our own capability of take charge of our lives. Like me, working for a company for 20 years, I could still abondoned. This happened to legendary Japanese company who were proud of life time employment. And now it is not easy to re-build capability of take charge of my own business.

But, I was still lucky that I could at least try.

Thank you for your meaningful post.

Shaw, It is good to hear from you again. This country is going to have the same problem. People have a hard time changing. It is time to adapt or we are going to fall apart. In a lot of ways we have forgotten how to rely on ourselves. We want someone else to fix it for us. We are not going to be the some country if we do. How many of us know how to grow our on food. Make our clothes? Things that our parents and grand parents knew how to do. They got through the depression in this country that way. Could we do it not? We have to make some changes for ourselves and not let government or others do it for us.
