Create your Own Job correcting an Inefficiency
Supposedly Netflix was started when the founders got sick of late fees on DVDs..the rest is history....billions of dollars of net worth later! And I thought I was oh so smart!
So look for an inefficiency somewhere, and see if a solution is out there, that you can monetize
Create Your own Job by becoming a Scribe
What on earth is a scribe? To me that is someone who wrote down something said in old times, and passed it on! I think of the bible. Most of the 4 gospels were written well over 100 years past the date of Jesus's death. In today's world becoming a scribe, or holding yourself out as a scribe, is appropriate to certain fields where notes have to be taken on every transaction, or service; think Doctors, of even my own profession, which is financial. I saw this idea the other day on the news...'hold yourself out' means hang up your own shingle! John Doe dba (doing business as) Scribemeister for instance!!! lol Just an example!!!
Create your own Job by learning Internet Web Development Skills for Free
One only has to spend sometime on Craigslist to easily determine where the hot jobs are. My take is under the header "Internet Engineers"'
Tons of listings everywhere.
We are all using the internet but who is creating content?
I found a free online school....w3schools.com
check it out!
Wish I was younger-I could have saved myself 5 years at UNC!!!!!!!!
Funny thing though, I find almost no young people I survey on this topic vaguely interested.
Create your own Job as an Auto Repair Finder
Just had a brainstorm, as relates to my previous post. Go into business by helping other's find the best value in auto repair. Sell subscriptions, or a newsletter. For instance in my area, there are 3 Porsche repair locations. One has a a 2 month backlog. Tough to get in. Yet a local oil changer was able to change a complex coolant hose for me yesterday on my 924S. I might give the latter a 'willing to try' rating! I can see a huge possibility here....
Mobile Auto Mechanic
Years ago I lived at Hilton Head, SC, a major resort. There was a guy down there that had a mobile mechanic business for auto repair for German vehicles only. There were many Mercedes BMWs and VWs on that island at all time, far away from home, so this guy id'd a need and filled it! Fast forward years later he ended up with a Mercedes Benz franchise on the island.
I think one of the greatest opportunities to day is in auto repair. Yes you have to go to school for it.
I had a Mexican friend once that could fix any car. He helped me restore one of my Porsches. Then I bought a Lincoln Navigator. Lots of electrical problems. Needed coils changed. No one could do it, not even the Ford place. My friend fixed the problem on each coil in less than 20 minutes. At my home! Never start a sentence with the word 'at'! lol!
I am seeing numerous ads for so called mobile mechanics on Craigslist, but they have no certification or insurance for the most part. Yet this is one of the biggest opportunities out there, the mobile auto technician. I am looking into organizing this idea to a greater degree, to create a framework for these techs to operate in.
Remember in all we do we want to make someone's life or day better, or happier!
Create your own job and block out politicians
Your survival depends on cash flow, so you need to keep a clear head! One can get really distracted by too much news or talk radio! When times are tough it's easy to listen to extreme voices out there.....if you listened to the rhetoric of today....you would think you lived in an evil country full of hate and crime, all because of a do nothing congress! Nothing could be further than the truth-if you want to read about problems go back to the 1920s or 1930s and look at all the problems we had as a nation, plus we had no cell phones or internet!
Turn off the news ! Turn off talk radio! Do something!!!
Creating your own Job and the Euphoria associated with it
There is no feeling like having a purpose! Just doing something! Makes you want to whistle a tune! Can't help but be good for the soul!
