What Does “Unemployable” Mean To Me
When I type Unemployable into the Wikipedia search, it automatically reverts to the musical group Pearl Jam’s album Unemployable. I will have to go to my iTunes and get the album.
However, the reason I consider myself “unemployable” is the fact that I find it near impossible to work for someone else!
I worked for companies and people since the age of 10 to the age of 38. And for the last 10 years, yes I am in my upper 40’s, I have successfully run my own business, set my own rules, set my own hours, and enjoyed many other benefits of working for myself.
The other benefit of working for myself, is I can change direction anytime I want to. So about a few years ago, I decided it is time to turn to the internet. Wow, talk about information overload! The internet has grown so much, there is no way I will be able to learn all the tips and tricks of internet marketing in my lifetime.
Being an entrepreneur requires some important personal characteristics. One of the most important is motivation. Unless you are motivated to succeed, or at least pay the bills, it is very easy to get sidetracked and lose site of your initial plan of attack.
I have noticed a lot of people consider themselves “unemployable” because they are too old, or no one is hiring anyone with their particular skill set. To me this is just lack of motivation and self confidence. A Cop Out!
If you want something bad enough, set your mind to it, get organized, and go get it!
Now, when I decided to learn about the internet and marketing on the internet, I was definitely hit with information overload. In the past few years, I have spent 10’s of thousands of dollars buying “internet education”. The problem is that there is too much information and trying to absorb all the information and stay on track with what you are actually attempting to do becomes very difficult. Watch your self.
A friend of mine and I became aware of this problem and we are now working on building a website to not only help you start your own internet business, but it will also be designed to help you stay focused and motivated at the same time. If you would like to follow along while we develop our new site, feel free to visit us at http://www.KickInTheButt.com .
To sum up, to me the word “unemployable” to me is a positive name for someone who is motivated enough to replace the fear of going out on their own, with the faith in themselves to know they can make it work.
Thanks for reading this article.
