"Come,
my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and
shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it
were for a little moment, until the indignation
be overpast. For, behold, the Lord cometh out of
his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth
for their iniquity: the earth also shall
disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her
slain."
Isaiah
26:2 |

What
to Do If You Have Lost Your Job
-
Do
not feel
despondent.
Thousands of others have lost their
jobs. And
thousands more will yet lose
theirs.
92
million are unemployed in the U.S. alone. It is not your fault. This is all
planned. Click

was known that this would happen. And
it's not going to end anytime soon.

-
Education
is the key to survival. Now is the time to study this
website
- and others - to understand that depressions,
like wars, are all planned well in
advance.
And they are planned by the "government
behind the government". Your "s-elected" leaders
simply do what they are told to do.
Bailouts and stimulus
packages will not
work. Just consider them to be a government sponsored
"theft" of your money (and your
children's). Click here
for some good news. Read the Professional
Performance Magazine. Read everything on this page
and this one,
too.
-
Exhaust
all
resources for finding work - headhunters, online employment
websites and most importantly, friends, relatives, acquaintances and
former colleagues who might know of openings. Knocking on doors can
sometimes make a big difference. Check out online
sources. Be
prepared for
job interviews. Learn how to answer key
questions. Learn how to put together an excellent
resume. Read about some of the rules that even the experts
aren't sure on. Try putting an online
video resume on YouTube. Read Hire
Me! Hire Me! Understand the company from the employers
point of view. Create a profile on LinkedIn.
Create a professional page on Facebook.
Crerate a personal profile
on Facebook and "Like" or "Join" other
professional groups or pages that are related to your industry. Make
"Friends" with as many people as possible who might in turn
know of an opening. Click on the following: jobs,
interviews,
resumes,
employment,
and job
market. Also check out Business
Insider every day. This company
is trying to revolutionize the hiring process. Build your own website.
-
Now
would also be a good time to improve your
computer skills and/or learn
a new trade. Multi-talented people are always in high demand. Upgrade
and post your resume
online.
-
 Remember
when you used to say, "I don't have the time to..."? Well,
now you do. So start studying the tons of self-improvement material
available online (much of which is free). And start reading the Bible
- and websites that help guide you through the Bible, like the ASSOCIATES
for SCRIPTURAL KNOWLEDGE (ASK). If ever there was a time to
understand who
you are and where
you are going, now is that time. Learn what true Christianity
really is and who Jesus
really was. Try to live a balanced
and happy
life. Click
here to avoid burnout. Keep yourself mentally
strong.
-
No
matter how bad off you are, there is always someone else who is worse
off than you. Maybe this is a good time to try and help
others? Be sure to thank
God for the things you do have.
-
 Now
is also a great time to get into shape, emotionally
and physically. Lose some weight
and
educate yourself on proper, good health.
If you have no health
insurance, there are numerous walk-in clinics.
Better yet, try an alternative healing practitioner.
Or treat yourself, by eating the
right foods and taking the right
supplements.
As no drug
has ever healed anyone, maybe this would be a good time to eliminate your reliance
on them.
-
 Open
your mind to the possibility that your personal setback could actually
be the beginning of something even greater. Consider other lines of
work - or start
your own business.
There is help
online. What have you always wanted to do? Where are the needs in this
new society? Learn from those who lived
 through the last
Great
Depression. Learn how to be
resourceful, focus on what you want and don't be fearful. Energy flows where
attention goes.
Watch what the masses do - and do the opposite.
Consider attending
CEO Space,
a group to join for business and self-improvement. Watch there free videos
here. Have you
considered Direct
Selling? Have you seen how
much one can make with Direct Selling? Email
us if you are interested.
-
 Understand
the universal and biblical
Laws of Attraction. And the many other
similar laws that govern the universe. They continue to work, even in
a depression. Learn more about them here
and here.
Be sure to ask God for His guidance - and a job.
-
Remember
that even though you are unemployed, there will always be a majority
that will be employed. And they represent the market for a
continuing business opportunity
and flow of income.
If
You Have Lost Your Savings and Home Value
-
 Do
not feel despondent. Millions of others (worldwide) have also lost
much of their equity and savings. And, your investments
may go down even
more. It is not your fault. This is all planned.
Ending
the privately
owned "Fed"
would be a step in the right direction. All bailout and stimulus
programs are basically fraudulent.
-
The
fact of the matter is that all
investments of every kind are now at
risk. The new lower-priced real estate could go even
lower. Even money in the bank is at risk as the
bank could close and
the FDIC could renege on its obligation to insure your assets. Or
worse, the dollar could be replaced by a new Amero,
or even by an international currency. No one knows what the exchange
rate would be, but you
can expect to get less
than a dollar's worth for the new
currency.
-
Precious
metals,
gold and coins might be a temporary solution. But they are subject
to theft and/or government confiscation. The government can simply
outlaw them. And, the value of gold can be easily manipulated, just
like any other commodity.

supplementing your income with other recession-proof sources
of residual income. Click here
