The U.S. Department of Labor reports increasing job layoffs, including over 600,000 in December. This following 533,000 jobs lost in November,320,000 and 403,000 jobs lost in October and September respectively. Job losses were large, widespread and the employment outlook is the worst in 28 years! Worse yet, the 2009 projection only see more pink slips coming with ever increasing intensity.

Wow! Not a lot of encouragement if your need to or want to find employment, change careers or simply earn more money.

The problem is that most of you continue to do the same thing, while at the same time hoping and expecting that the outcome will be different. You look for work in the same industry or stay at that dead end job and take whatever they'll give you. You fail to consider other opportunities when you stumble across them. Or hit you right between the eyes!

Let me tell you a brief story made famous in the book entitled "Who Moved My Cheese". It's a simple story of a couple mice who continually find their way through a maze to a room full of cheese. One day they both enter their room full of cheese to find it empty - this would be where a lot of you are today. You've lost your job... your job is a low paying dead end... the company you work for and the industry you're in is shrinking or going bankrupt.

As the story continues, mouse #1 day after day continues to return to that same room (now empty) expecting their to be cheese again. Over time mouse #1 gets skinnier and skinnier and eventually dies! Mouse #2 on the other hand, realizes after several days of finding no cheese in the old place, that he must change what he's doing and decides to change course and seek out cheese from another room. After several days of searching this mouse finds a new room and a new source of cheese. He not only survives but prospers.

Did your cheese move? The moral of this story is very appropriate in todays work environment. Far too many of you are continuing to return to the same empty room (i.e. no good job or income opportunities left) somehow expecting there to be a different outcome than before. You live paycheck to paycheck and never reach that illusive goal of financial freedom.

I'm here to tell you that there are a new rooms of cheese out there and many of theme can be found on the internet! You can earn money online in a bunch of ways. Some of you need desperately to change careers and stop thinking that the room you're currently in is the only room that exists. For those willing to seek, work and persevere - there is a world of opportunity to earn money at home on the internet.

Once you decide to change rooms and seek out another way to make money. The maze can be scary and difficult to navigate. I'm here to help you navigate and offer advice, coaching and mentoring that will not only help you find that new room - but also prosper in it quickly.
