Time for Change

Career shifts are today becoming more common than in the past. However, if you are planning to change career paths after a long stint in any particular industry, take a deep breath. Before you take the plunge, consider the pros and cons. This is particularly important for entrepreneurs – there’s no need to hang onto a business that doesn’t interest you any more just because you started it. However, before you shut shop or sell out, take time to ponder about your afterlife and those of your dependents and employees.

Thank God for the recession!

Recession

Smart, determined people see an opportunity in anything – even a recession. For them, crisis is just another avenue to chase their dreams. Making the shift takes guts, drive and an extra helping of self-belief but it is possible to make the most of your recession if you look within to find your calling. Your hobby can be your passport to an unusual, satisfying and rewarding career. When the economy springs back, you will find yourself happier and wealthier in more ways than one.

In a May 2009 story about India’s successful young entrepreneurs, The Washington Post reported that the economic slump did not halt the dreams of India’s budding entrepreneurs. While the market slump has drawn blood in the form of lost jobs and made the market more cautious, it has not stopped some gritty entrepreneurs from seeking and finding their pot of gold.

In fact, when everyone else was worrying about what the recession would do to the future, some people just rolled up their sleeves, dug their heels in and created their own future.
