Job Search Headache - Think Young

Who is going to put you back to work? When is someone going to give you a break? When is this economy going to turn around?
Do you think that if you wait it out long enough your life is going to change? Nothing is going to change for you until you make a decision to change it for yourself. What people need to understand is time is fleeting, each day another opportunity passes you by and unless you are aware, it is gone.
Remember when you were younger and anything was possible. If you wanted something bad enough you would do whatever it took to get it. No job was too hard because you saw the reward at the end; you would take anything if it would get you closer to your goal. It seemed so simple back when you were younger.
Why was it such a simple formula before but has become so much harder today? Life becomes so much more complicated when you begin to rely on outside forces to dictate your daily life. When you were younger and you lost your job, you would go out and find another no matter what the pay. Because you knew that every penny you earned would get you closer to what you wanted.
Ok, so the landscape has changed over the last couple of years and you can not find a job to replace your old one. Are you going to wait for the phone to ring with a job offer? You know the phone will be ringing but it will be the bill collectors calling.
I hope I am not going to overstate the obvious here. If you hit a wall you have two choices, the first is to attempt to climb over it, the second is to change course. I'm sorry, I have a third, and you could continue on the same path and run head on into it and expect it to just fall over.
Many of you are looking for someone to throw you a rope, give you a ladder or thinking you could just run into it and expect it to fall. The ones that decided to change direction may have to walk for a bit but soon will find that each wall has an opening. Be it a door or a gate there is always a way through.
So, what am I saying here? Your job search is the wall and you are looking at the door. The door being your computer (the internet). You can find "jobs from working at home" on the internet. You just have to decide to walk through the door.
Back to those simple questions at the top; Q: Who is going to put you back to work? A: You are! Q: When is someone going to give you a break? A: Today, I will make my own breaks! Q: When is this economy going to turn around? A: I can only worry about my own economy!
Open the door to the internet, the world can help you find your jobs from working at home. Do whatever it takes to get what you want. Think Young!

Make Money Fixing Damaged Doors

Owners or tenants pay you to replace damaged wooden doors, doorjambs, and locks. These items typically are damaged when an angry spouse or boyfriend, a burglar, or the police kick a door in. With the hard times we are having, people will be getting more frustrated and burglars will be getting bolder. Thus, the demand for this type of service should remain strong indefinitely. (This is article #1 in a series of emergency handyman services.)

Since this is an emergency service, you should be able to make money without much trouble. Use a simple classified advertisement in the local newspaper or on craigslist.org to get customers. Also, advertise in any property owner's newsletter.

Preliminary job activities

After greeting the customer at the job site, you can inspect the damages to the door. Then you should confer with the customer about the options available. These options are whether to install a pre-hung door, repair or replace the existing door and/or doorjamb, and replace the locks.

The customer may be in a hurry and want you to work on a weekend or at night to get the door repaired or replaced. In addition, you may be asked to paint or stain the door, doorjamb, and door trim to make them attractive and weatherproof.

The price for your services should cover all materials and any other costs, such as dump fees. In addition, you need to make money sufficient to reward your effort and experience.

Main job activities

After determining what services and materials are needed, here is how to get the job done.

Installing a pre-hung door -- A pre-hung door consists of a complete doorjamb and its attached door. This pre-hung door may also include a standard lockset and possibly a deadbolt lock. (On the other hand, it only may have the holes cut out for these locks.) It also may include a threshold and door sweep.

Before purchasing a pre-hung door, remove the trim around the existing doorjamb. Then you can verify that the doorframe opening is properly aligned vertically and horizontally, and has sufficient clearance. If you need to make large adjustments when installing the new door, then it may be easier to use separate pieces rather than a pre-hung door.

Before installing the pre-hung door, remove the damaged door and doorjamb. Then pull the pins from the hinges of the pre-hung door to remove the door. Install the new doorjamb and perform any required adjustments with wood shims. The two sides of the doorjamb should be vertical, the top should be level, and the opening should allow clearance for the door to shut. Lift up the door to join the hinge halves together. Then reinsert the pin. If the door closes properly, install the locks if not already done.

Repairing a damaged door -- If only the recessed panels of a door are damaged, they can be replaced or covered over. If the main framework of a door is damaged, then the door usually has to be replaced.

For the most attractive appearance, replace the damaged panel with a matching panel prepared by a woodwork shop.

A door panel normally is held in place by trim around the outside edges of the panel on both sides of the door. Carefully remove this trim from one side of the door. Then remove the damaged panel and insert the replacement panel. Reattach the trim around the replacement panel.

Replacing a damaged door

If the door cannot be repaired, you need to confer with the customer about the type of door to use for a replacement. If the desired type of door is not available locally, the customer may decide to use whatever is available.

When determining the height for the door, you should consider any new or existing threshold and door sweep to be attached at the bottom of the door. This door sweep should bear against the threshold when the door is closed. The final door height should allow for any required adjustment up or down when attaching the door sweep.

In some cases, the replacement door will have to be cut to the proper height and/or width. This cutting can be done at a woodwork shop. However, if you are careful and use a fine-tooth saw blade, you may able to do the cutting yourself.

If the existing doorjamb and hinges will be retained, remove the pin from the hinges. Then remove the hinge halves from the existing door. Use these hinge halves as a guide for the location of the hinges on the replacement door. You will need to cut out areas on the replacement door to allow the hinge halves to be recessed into its edge. The setback for these hinges should allow the door to close neatly against the doorstop on the doorjamb. After chiseling out the location for the hinges, place a hinge at its location on the replacement door and drill out pilot holes for the screws. Then use the screws to attach the hinge halves to the replacement door.

To hang the door, prop it up and join the hinge halves together. Then reinsert the pin. If the door does not close properly, you may have to shift the location of the hinges on the doorjamb. This usually requires you to plug the existing screw holes and drill pilot holes for the new location of the screws. After you have hung the door properly, install the locks if not already done.

Repairing a damaged doorjamb -- If the damaged doorjamb is still firmly attached to the doorframe, it usually can be repaired with an extra-long strike plate. This extra-long plate extends for almost the entire length of one side of the doorjamb. You use screws long enough to go through the doorjamb into the 2x4 stud behind it. You also should put one long screw through each hinge. Now the door probably cannot be kicked in. An example of this special strike plate is the StrikeMaster II manufactured by Safe Homes International.

Besides installing this extra-long strike plate, the customer may also want you to install a "high security" lockset and/or deadbolt lock. (A deadbolt lock provides more protection that using only a lockset.) However, remind the customer that even the best lockset and/or deadbolt lock cannot always prevent a determined burglar from entering the home.

Replacing a damaged doorjamb -- The damage to a doorjamb normally occurs on the sidepiece where the strike plate for the door latch was attached. This sidepiece can be removed and replaced with new doorjamb material. In some cases, both sides of the doorjamb have been severely damaged. Then you will have to remove the entire doorjamb, or at least both of the damaged sidepieces.

To remove doorjamb pieces, first pry off the inside and outside trim that butts against the affected pieces. Then remove the nails or screws that attach the doorjamb pieces to the doorframe (the 2x4 studs). It may be necessary to use a hacksaw blade or reciprocating saw to cut through the nails or screws.

Any replacement material for a doorjamb may have to be cut to the proper width and/or length. Use a fine-tooth saw blade to cut through the material. Align the replacement piece with any existing doorjamb pieces. Use wood shims to align the replacement pieces and to provide clearance so the door shuts properly.

The sides of the doorjamb and its attached door should be perfectly vertical (plumb) and the top should be level. If the doorway floor is not level, then you may have to cut one side of the doorjamb shorter than the other side. Alternatively, you may have to shim up one side of the doorjamb.

Use long casing or finish nails to attach the doorjamb piece, through any shims, to the doorframe. Cut off the portion of any shims that stick out beyond the outside edges of the doorjamb material. Replace the inside and outside trim.

Installing a lockset and/or deadbolt -- You will need to confer with the customer about the cost and type of lockset and/or deadbolt to be installed. The customer may also want a surface mounted lock on the inside of the door as extra protection.

A deadbolt lock or "high security" lockset will provide more resistance to being forced open than a standard lockset. However, you need to warn the customer that a determined intruder may still be able break into the home.

Follow the directions of the lock manufacturer when installing a new lock. A lock installation kit or jig makes easy work of positioning and boring holes in doors for locksets and deadbolt locks.

When purchasing new locksets or deadbolts for an existing door, select locks with the same hole sizes and backset as the previous locks.

Final thoughts

This business idea lets you make money while providing a needed service. You can start out as a part-time venture. Then, if the demand is sufficient, you might want to make it into a full-time venture.

Starting a Dog Walking Business For Fun and Profit

To begin with dog walking can be profitable because there are so many dog owners, chances are high that you can find some customers with in walking distance of your home.

To generate business for yourself decide how much money you need to make it profitable for yourself generally the more you charge the more people you will need to talk to before you find customers who say yes and hire you. So if you live in a depressed area you may need to charge 2 or 3 dollars or if you live in an affluent area you maybe can get 12 to 25 dollars. Look around at this capitalist society and realize that there is someone willing to pay your price.

Lots of stores cater to discount purchasers looking for a deal yet I can go to a mall and find the exact same item for 3 or 4 times as much money and the store making the sale is doing a brisk business. So don't be afraid to ask for enough money to make it worth your while.

Door to door or telephone marketing has always paid off for me when it comes to getting customers. You simply knock on a door when the person answers the door you say " Hi, my name is ____ and I walk dogs for ______ per half hour I was wandering if you'd like to have you dog exercised?" On the phone you can say the same thing. Only on the phone you say hello this is ____ how are you today? and let the prospect answer the question. You will find that people will respond more warmly to you if you acknowledge them as human beings and not just as a potential income stream. You will also find out if they can't talk right now and you can move on to the next person. The advantage of the telephone is that I can target affluent areas then drive out to the customer, I can also contact a lot more people using the phone as and save my strength for doing the work.

Once you have a customer the money can be steady, you will repeat the service daily or every other day. When you are not walking a dog or "the dogs"get back on the phone and get some more clients. Soon you will be looking for an employee to help you out. Your profits will continue to climb as long as you charge enough to cover the cost of your employees, remember the customer has to finance your employee as well as yourself. Remember also there is someone out there wealthy enough to pay what ever you need to charge.

MLM Online Strategies - Best Practice Number Seven of Seven

I have outlined seven best practice strategies for getting your business up and running online. Here is number seven. (The first six are published on EzineArticles.)

Many of the online business builders are empty nesters like me. People who have built offline businesses, retired from successful careers, and/or quit corporate jobs. They understand the potential of a global internet business from home.

They are fully committed to creating wealth and will do whatever it takes as long as it's legal, moral and ethical.

The number seven best practice is about providing attractive content versus spreading spam.

I have found, working with other empty nester baby boomers, that working hard, providing value, and helping others is an integral value that comes from growing up after World War II. We have grown up with stories from our parents about the "dirty thirties". We've seen many people build businesses from absolutely nothing. We've grown up with a hard work ethic.

The more people I talk to the more I realize that people truly want to earn money so they can make a difference in the world. They have a big vision.

Although number seven best practice is about staying away from spam content and creating valuable content. The empty nester baby boomer group needs encouragement in the opposite direction. Often they are hesitant to share experiences and life lessons that they have to offer. They are fearful that they might be spamming people when, in fact, they are not.

They understand spam as being the same as the pushy door to door salesperson they encountered many times when they were growing up. Some door to door sellers would actually stick their feet or heads in the doorway so that the door could not be shut!

Spam is a new word for bad practices on the internet. It is not a new concept.

We all grew up with the salesperson following us around the store like a hawk. We don't want to use those tactics. Spam is pestering people with information that they have not asked for.

People in this age group need to let go and express their feelings, talk about their experiences and by doing this will automatically be giving value.
Empty nesters now have an opportunity to build an online business with the same hard work ethic they grew up with, but in a much shorter time frame.

Take advantage of all that the internet has to offer. Share your knowledge and experience and build an online business.

Go for it!

Direct Selling in a Recession

Selling anything in a recession can be a difficult task at best. There are a few things that you can do to have the best advantage possible if you aren't picky about what you are selling, however.

First of all, for the purposes of this article, I am talking about direct selling. Direct selling is basically selling things on a personal level with a customer. Going to their house, or calling them on the phone, etc. Remember doing fundraisers when you were a kid and going door to door to sell candy bars? That was direct selling.

In a recession, people tend to scale back on just going to the mall and shopping or going to their favorite store to look around and impulse buy. That is one reason why direct selling in a recession is a better way to go. Plus, if you pick the right product to sell, you will hopefully be selling a consumable product that your new customer will want to re-stock, so to speak, and they will have to come to you to do it.

Now the question is, what product should you sell? Well, there are many fine products out there, but lets think about this for a minute. You probably don't want to go the vacuum cleaner route. I mean, I have seen some pretty awesome vacuum cleaners that come from door to door salesmen, but we are in a recession and those things are pretty pricey! It's going to be hard to get someone to buy an expensive item like that. I am thinking more along the lines of things like make-up. Something small and inexpensive and it has been shown that in a recession, make-up sales go up. Women might not be able to go buy that expensive dress, but they can still afford to buy make-up and will.

I am a Scentsy independent consultant. When you become a Scentsy Consultant, they send you the [http://electric-candle-warmers.com/my-scentsy-starter-kit-arrived/]Scentsy starter kit and it is worth the money all by itself. I mean, even if you don't sell a single product, you get a warmer and enough scents to last a very long time! My name is Hope and I started a blog about my business in [http://electric-candle-warmers.com/]electric candle warmers to kind of chronicle how I do and basically just ramble on about how things are going.

5 Important Rules For Moms to Follow When Starting a Home Based Business

Establishing a home based business sends the thought that you're devoted to the family and your career. But as good as it is to make you both professionally and domestically functional, working online and at home can present some problems. What are you supposed to choose between a wailing kid and a project nearing deadline? How are the kids expected to behave when mother's working? And who's going to wash the dishes? Moms that earn money from home are sometimes torn between work and household duties. So, how do you draw a line?

Families are as diverse as the individuals that make them; therefore, parenting and running the household greatly vary in style. But though that's the case, working at home moms should follow specific rules to allow productivity.

Here are some of them -

1. Discuss the setup with the family. It should be noncontroversial by the husband and, in case they're entirely fully grown, the children. If the kids are still toddlers or need close attention, decide if you are going to employ a caregiver, and if you are, identify if it's going to be a regular or a part-time caregiver. In most cases, part-time sitters are more practical since mommies won't work the entire day anyway.

2. Define your work schedule. It, naturally, hinges on your taste, family, and other duties. But whatever your schedule is, make certain everyone knows it to lessen distractions and interruptions. Setting definite working hours also gives your kids the impression that they get a space in your schedule and that they can wait for their time rather than barge in your home office any time they want. Follow your agenda at all times, unless of course urgent events merit your attention.

3. Decide whether you'll have a closed door or open door policy. A closed door policy works better if you have a hired sitter. This allows you to work with little or no distractions and your sitter to comfortably assume responsibility without your constant inquiry and checking. The open-door policy, on the hand, is advised if you don't have a hired caregiver. With this policy, you will be able to instantly check how the things are going with your kids and the house. But since this can invite noise and distraction, you'll be able to close the door whenever you need extra concentration and are speaking over the phone.

4. Orient yourself, the children, and the caregiver about the possible interruptions that you can and cannot respond. Be as specific as possible and show sturdiness. Do not go out of your home office at the sound of a whimper; instead let your caregiver do her job. If the kids are mature, tell them the sort of environment you need and how they can help you achieve it. Children just need to be talked to and constantly reminded.

5. Lay down your expectations-how the children are supposed to behave, the amount of household chores you can assume, the level of noise you will be able to tolerate, among other things. Then, set forth a plan. If, for instance, your kids are older, you can ask them to tidy their rooms on their own. Or you can work far from the living or television room. Moms with a rel=nofollow [http://homebusinessopportunities.typepad.com/]internet home based business and their families, at the beginning, need to make certain adjustments.

It's Time to Take Back Our Economy

The massive achievements and accomplishments of the American people often pale in comparison to the devastation and pain that this Nation suffered during the Great Depression of the 30's. The most severe economic crisis of modern times shut down businesses, caused banks to fail and unemployment to soar. Pictures of breadlines are burned into the psychic make-up of this nation. The impact on the people and the nation was dark and devastating; the impact has also been enduring. In fact today we as a nation are traumatized as we face the recessionary effects of our day.

Fifteen years of counseling people through devastating problems has revealed to me that in the face of a crisis, by and large and with few exceptions, the first response in a crisis is to "awful-ize and catastroph-ize." The focus is always the problem and its horrendous effects. The fear is always "this is it...the thing that will take me down and my life will never be the same!" Devastation is the threat while there is little hope that there is a solution; there is no thought that this issue could be the springboard to a better life.

This reminds me of the story of the canary that found himself trapped in the cage with a serpent that was only inches away. The bird saw the threat of his impending death as he focused on the snake's open mouth and ultra-sharp fangs. He failed to recognize that he was next to the door of the cage and it was wide open! In the midst of what appeared to be certain doom the canary could not see the open door to an opportunity for escape and he forgot that he could fly!

Today as the recession intensifies and the threat of an economic depression looms over us, we cannot but reflect on the devastation of the Great Depression. Is that where we are headed? Is this the national blow that will destroy us? As the guy on the Allstate commercial says, "why not let this be the recession that Defines Us?" There is value in learning from history so that we do not have to repeat it. Since the Titanic went down ship-builders have learned the importance of life-boats, lots of them! Eighty-one-years of technology have evolved since the great depression. Today we have options!

I will say without equivocation that today America's greatest economic asset is the pulsating force of the spirit of the entrepreneur. To compliment this force, the technology of leveraging our time and money to create exponential financial rewards is thriving in the face of economic threats. Even with lay-offs and fewer traditional jobs, online/home-base businesses are thriving. There are as many as 80-million internet searches daily in North America alone for topics related to online/home-base businesses. That is 80-million potential customers/sales a day! Be Encouraged! The serpent's mouth may be open and you may feel the force of impending doom, but the door is open to a whole new opportunity to maximize the value of your life and destiny! Be Bold! Walk through the door. It is Your Time to Fly!

Are You Crazy? Starting Your Own Business in This Economy?

This economy has been a painful time for everyone. If you or someone you know has gotten laid off in the last year or two, this comment certainly hits home. With the average unemployment at about 10%, no wonder it is so hard to find a job...any job. The competition is fierce!

The good news is - out of very bad situations come brilliance! People start to question their belief system that the only way to make money is to work for someone else. That is a good thing, because it is simply not true! You can make money, and be your own boss.

I am not talking about making money doing nothing. With that, I go back to the "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!" theory. You see all over the internet the "opportunity" to make money on line doing absolutely nothing. Come on, really? You really believe that?

While I would like to believe it myself, I simply cannot.

You can however start your own business, even if it is a temporary holdover until you get a job working for someone else. My bet is, once you start your own business - you will like the freedom and control so much, you will not want to work for anyone but yourself ever again!

There are a lot of home based businesses out there - so look carefully. You have to enjoy what you are selling in order to do well and be successful. The product also has to be marketable. Another consideration is ease of doing business.

Businesses that are most successful are those that can generate recurring sales; food, for example. Another tip would be method of sales. Is it door to door? Or do you throw a party? Let me ask you - would you part with your money to buy something from someone who came to your door uninvited or from someone you know at a party? The answer is obvious.

I have learned that having fun at what you are doing makes you want to do it more - simple but obvious.

If you think that having fun and making money at parties sounds good to you then check out this opportunity at rel=nofollow http://www.mancavepaige.com - look through all of the information. Do your research. You may find it is a good thing for you.

I have been successful at a home based business and you can too.

MLM Prospecting - Can Window Shopping Be More Prospective Than Door To Door Sales?

If you're ever considering investing in an MLM business opportunity, it is always best to establish where your market is for selling, and how you are going to reach the consumer. It wasn't so long ago that there was very little choice in the matter, and the only options to promoting MLM products was either on a physical basis of personal one-to-one sales, or cold-calling by telephone. The introduction and popularity of the internet though soon gave rise to a whole new meaning of reaching the potential customer. The possibilities of expanding clientele became almost limitless with having the means to grab the attention of the whole world at your fingertips.

Internet marketing aside for the moment though, the traditional means to selling a product which has certainly been proven successful is the direct social type sales. With product in hand, customers can view the product and can be enticed more easily into buying, but this method of course has its limitations. One of the first things to deliberate upon when MLM prospecting, should be who is going to buy your product? The initial reaction is always family and friends within your social circle, which can then spread to their family and friends, and so on.

This is still a popular method of selling, and the more socially acceptable way it is done is by hosting parties and inviting the customer to take an interest rather than the pestering nature commonly associated with door-to-door sales. Most MLM companies suggest that you make a list of all the people you know and then market to them one-by-one, which should hopefully turn up new leads within extended social circles. Not everyone you know however can be expected to take an interest in your product, so even taking into consideration a 10% success rate of 100 people doesn't really leave much scope for financial success.

If you were to stick with this method, then you could probably find that you're business will really be more of a side-line in order to earn some extra pocket money, so really it would be wise to choose a product to market that might tie in with a personal interest. For example, a keep-fit enthusiast may promote a nutritional health juice in their spare time, or if interior decorating is your thing, then scented candles may be an ideal market to share. If however it were a full time successful MLM business you wished to pursue, then without a doubt the incorporation of online sales must be applied.

Most authentic and fairly respectable MLM companies will always help with this pursuit. It would only make sense to aid in their distributor's success of selling to increase their own profits, so they will happily supply the online business tools required to set up the basis for online sales to its members. Now with a worldwide audience, even a 1% success rate out of 100 people can be the beginning of a successful home-based business. By applying the appropriate skills and techniques to reach possible customers through social network marketing for example, the use of the family and friends list is a mere drop in the ocean.

There are of course other options in how to market online, one of which being the much advertised 'burn that list' method. These predominantly disregard the necessity of creating and using a list of known targets, and offer such methods of buying 'guaranteed' online targeted leads at a price. It may prove to be a successful venture if the information was genuine, but you may ask yourself if these leads were so good, then why doesn't the provider use them to their own benefit? By applying internet window shopping strategies, this certainly is the way to advance in generating sales other than the traditional door-to-door sales.

Keep Your Foot in the Door - Ways Stay at Home Parents Can Stay in the Workforce

Once a child enters your life, all your priorities change. This includes your career priorities. Many parents, both mothers and fathers, decide to take time off work and focus on being a stay at home parent. Although they enjoy this immensely, many parents worry about how they will find a job once their little one is in school. They know they are losing years of working experience, and they are fine with that because it is for their child's sake. However, there are ways that stay at home parents can keep your foot in the door while keeping your children at the same time. Not only will you keep your working experience current and relevant, you also will feel as if you are contributing to the business world.

One way you can keep your foot in the door as a stay at home parent is by doing online work. There are so many job opportunities online these days that nearly any job can be done that way. You will not even have to change your career to do this. This is a great opportunity because many companies give you the option of choosing how many or how few hours you will work. This is great for stay at home parents because they can decide to work a few hours each day or just a few hours each week. Regardless of how few hours you choose, you still will be keeping your experience relevant.

Another way you can keep your foot in the door and still stay at home with your children is by freelancing. There are a lot more opportunities in freelancing these days than there were even five years ago, so it will be easier to find a job this way. Like the online work, you will be able to decide how often you will work. The great thing with the freelancing is that, once you decide to go back to work, you have the option of turning your freelancing into a full time job. You might find that you like it better than your previous job. It also will be convenient because you already know what to do so you do not have to go through weeks of training.

You might also find that, when you are searching for online or freelancing opportunities, you find a job in a completely new field. You are not limited to staying in the same field if you would rather challenge yourself to something new. Just because you chose to stay at home with your children, does not mean that you cannot keep your foot in the door.
