According to the Georgia Department of Labor Website http://www.dol.state.ga.us as of 01/26/09, the Georgia Unemployment Rate is 8.1%. The National Unemployment Rate is 7.2%.
This information could be depressing and dismal to many people. Instead, let's look for opportunity in what is considered a disaster. As a business person - I have experienced being laid-off. However, their is always hope.
Speaking of hope, below are (7) seven things I did to counteract:
No. 1 - I made up in my mind that I was not going to let unemployment depress me.
No. 2 - I act on recovering from this disaster by going to look for employment and file unemployment.
No. 3 - I focus on developing my "side business" into a full-time business. May I suggest you consider becoming an Independent Contractor or start a Small Business.
No. 4 - If I did not have Internet Access at Home, I sign-up for a Library Card and gained access there. When I finally got a Laptop Computer, I purchased a Wireless Card and visit a Local Hotspot ("Free Wireless Internet"). Note: The Internet is your key for gaining opportunity and maintaining a positive profile.
No. 5 - Exercise as well as self-educate - I cut down on watching television period. I found things to read about related to my profession and for entertainment purposes only. I also took long walks with loveones, relatives or alone.
No. 6 - Don't increase Alcohol or Drugs of any kind at any level of consumption. In fact, I ride a motorcycle - so, I try very hard not to drink alcohol when operating this vehicle period.
No. 7 - Think positive period. It will be difficult at times to do, I assure you, but if you consider following these steps mentioned above, you will get positive results no matter how big or small.
So, what do you think?
How are you feeling in this economy?
