Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures

The economic crisis has hit quite hard and this time, many are now scrambling to earn some money quick and easy. How many have actually succeeded in sustaining the flow of income when they can’t work any more? How many have been buying some “Earn Money using my system! You will see $1000 each day!”, only to find out that the money was actually going to the bank of the person who had marketed the product very well.

I don’t know about you but I do like the fact that I will be rewarded for my performance. Having worked in a number of companies, my performance didn’t matter when it came to quotas to be fulfilled for the annual promotion. It was the immediate superior, the superior of my superior and many other superiors to convince that I am the one who should be promoted.

Favourism doesn’t exist? Think again. It all boils down to relationships and networking. If you are friends with the sister or brother or father of that ultimate decision maker, you are promoted. Nothing else matters. When passed over for a promotion that you really need because of money issues, you start to take desperate measures of looking for sidelines and hoping the money will pour in the very next day.

How long does it take for a business to grow? How long does it take for a baby to learn how to talk? Time. I don’t know how long it took me to learn how to talk but I do know that it took a course in touch typing that my dear mother was convinced of that we needed that for our future and speed up my typing skills. I think chatting online hastened the speed.

All I can say is that perseverance and patience are needed for money to grow. When time is a factor, it’s always a good idea to start early. Insurance agents love to tell you that. However, you can’t take the money out from your insurance any time unlike your bank savings account. Extra money each month helps but until that works as a good replacement for your current job, you still have to work for the steady pay cheque until they decided that it’s time for you to be retrenched or other reasons.

Waiting for retrenchment and not doing anything about it is asking for trouble.
