I certainly can relate to both Penny and Terrie, and others.
I was laid off for the third time in that many years. I understand it was nothing personal, just business. Staff and management enjoyed working with me and commented on my integrity, teamwork, and work product. I am now doing my job searches around the country and contemplating “selling” my skills using a marketing plan I recently developed.
I am a Baby Boomer with over 30 years of executive assistant experience in several fields of business.
To get that critical interview with a potential employer, I only list the last 10 years of employment on my resume.
In this area of the Inland Northwest, downturns and unemployment are unfortunately the norm. But, that being said, employers in this area still advertise for people who have a stable employoyment background, and those with college degrees - I have neither - but I DO have a number of certificates as well as exceptional experience working in quality improvement, policies and procedures, proposal writing, and more. I continually study to upgrade my skills.
Realizing that my resume is now reviewed (or tossed) among hundreds of applicants, it is now time to take control of my own income and work path.
I have developed a marketing plan, and following up with an action plan, for a couple very diverse small businesses - catering and an FBO aviation facility - businesses that are worlds apart.
The information and suggestions within my marketing plan can be adjusted to any business needing assistance, and I will most certainly be using some of the suggestions to improve my own situation.
Good luck to everyone, and your feedback and suggestions are most welcome.

The reason for the sudden push into entrepreneurial action is people are recognizing the slow axe that is the 9-5 and want to take action. Why give the best years of your life to someone else? As 3 am infomercial-ish as it sounds, the “rat race” is better left for, well, rats. Very good read! Get info on starting your small business YORE Foundation

Thanks for the tips Rich, I just discovered this site a week ago, and I have been very excited about all the information you and your fellow entrepreneurs have been putting out! I have nacent plans for a green energy business when I get home from Iraq, and I was thrilled to see the addition of some resources just for veterans! this is my second tour, and I managed to squeeze a couple of technical certifications in between, so I can be assured of a steady income while I work out the details of my new venture, I’ll be checking back in here as and when I can, thank you all so much for laying everything out so well, and thanks for the thanks!

ps. I hope everyone jumps on board the earth friendly train President Obama is running, If you aren’t on-board, you might want to step aside because it won’t stop until we eliminate the middle eastern strangle-hold on our security.

Whether you offer a product or service, the best advice that I can share is to have a marketing plan.

Everyone dreams of making it big, but not too often do we dream of the grunt work to get there. There is nothing worse than casting too wide of a net and not being able to handle your orders. So, start by marketing in your local and surrounding areas first. This will give you an idea of the demand for your service/product and how many orders that you can reasonably handle at one time before you need to hire additional help.
