Job Development: Adversity = Opportunity

Hello, I am Sue Z. Hart, CEO of Little Red Wagon University; a company designed to help organizations and individuals discover for the power of success through simplicity and fun. I am excited to talk with you today about the tenuous job market.

One of the biggest mistakes I see people make when they lose their job, or we go into a slow economy is panic. My advice, don’t! Yes, you will have to map out a plan but once you have set your course, put it on cruise and embrace the opportunities! 

Slow economic times are the perfect opportunity to sharpen your tools both literally and figuratively. At my age I have seen the economy go up and down. What I have learned is that if we spend our time thinking about what might happen if we don’t get a job, it only empties our tank. 

My company was created after I had to leave a job. However, I had done so well that when I left the company local sales reps asked if I would teach my skills. Not only did I share my knowledge, but a year later I was teaching at the national convention! Sometimes adversity forces us into a direction we should have found on our own. Is there a new direction waiting for you? 

Through Master Builders Career Connection (MBCC) and this website, you have the opportunity to learn new skills to prepare yourself for what is just around the corner. You can sit and worry or you can get busy tuning your engine and filling your tank to have a head start when the economy begins to flourish, as history assures us it will. 

So keep an eye on the course, fill your tank and by all means enjoy the journey!
