    You’re an expert

    By Charles Martin | June 22, 2009

    Some great news is abound right now.

    There are so many specialists that are unemployed that the experts could fill the Rose Bowl and the parking lot would hold the runoff.  It’s big folks.

    Take heed that if you are one of the “lucky” laid off, you might find that you can escalate your status and find something you’ve always wanted — a job that isn’t’ a job.  It’s a passion.  A connection to the world that supps from your cup of knowledge.

    There might be some things the HH is doing to connect those experts with others and allow them to partake in great products and services without even paying.  It’s not that wacky when you pencil it out.

    Get out and let the world know you have the talent, the chops, the energy to light up their future and blow away their problems.  If you’re still employed at the job from hell, this may be the time to jettison yourself.  If you’re young and you haven’t added the Christmas ornaments to your life that some of us have (you know who you are and what I mean), then take that chance.  The world won’t be as friendly to your plight and your goals in two years.  It is today.  Take the pit in the valley and use it as your springboard.

    Go gettem…
