Today is the end of the third quarter for many organizations. It is that magic point in time where companies take a snap-shot and look at their performance over the past quarter. This moment in time will cause many organizations to make key decisions as they try to end the rest of the year on the most positive note possible. If you have been paying attention lately, then you have seen all kinds of reactions and speculations on the financial future of many things. Whether it is the financial future of the country or an individual company, this time of year can get quite difficult.
For numerous reasons, many folks have been effected by a downturn in the economy. Heck, you can look at posts from me last October and we were talking about it then. For most, this has been a rough year. However, there have been a few out there that this downturn has had a lasting impact. If you are one of those without a job due to this downturn, then you know exactly what I am talking about. I do not know what kinds of numbers are rolling around right now for unemployment = 9% + or -. However, if you are one of those effected and without a job that number represents you. For those not in that number, then you can be glad that you have gainful employment.
What I want for you to do right now is to think…are you ready? Those of you with a job right now…what would you do if you went into work tomorrow and you got let go. Some of you may be prepared for that reality. However, due to recent surveys and statistics – I imagine that the large majority of folks would be stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Hopefully, you have either started to prepare for “what could or might happen” due to this downturn in the economy. I hope that you are one of those that have changed some of the ways in which you monitor and save money. If you have done nothing yet, ask yourself that question I posed earlier again. What would you do if…
