The headlines screamed
this week – Job Cutbacks, Jobs Lost, Job Losses. The Labor Department has reported that
total job numbers were down by 17,000 in January, the first monthly
decline since August 2003.
Remember the wonderful children’s fable The Sky is Falling?
This is an old tale about a chicken who believes the sky is
falling. The phrase “the sky is falling” has become a popular
cliché indicating a hysterical belief that disaster is crashing
down on us.
In the original story Chicken Little is eating lunch one day when
an acorn falls on her head. She mistakenly assumes the sky is
falling, rushes off to tell the King, and along the way meets a lot
of other animals who join in with her belief and the accompanying
fear.
What this week’s headlines fail to announce with as much fanfare is
that the unemployment rate actually FELL from 5.0 percent to 4.9
percent in January. AND – average hourly earnings rose to $17.75 –
up 0.2 percent from December. How can the job loss be such a
catastrophe if unemployment dropped and earnings rose? What the
government figures can't see are the thousands of people who are
exiting traditional jobs in companies with 50 or more employees
(the basis for the statistics) and finding meaningful, fulfilling
work in the No More
Mondays fashion. The exploding number of consultants,
independent contractors, temps, electronic immigrants,
entrepreneurs and eBay merchants are below the radar of traditional
“job” tracking.
Sometimes I think the news media should just be called Chicken
Little. How about Chicken Nightly Nonsense (CNN) All Boloney
Chicken (ABC) and Nothin But Chicken (NBC). Incidentally, although
I am not a man to wish anyone harm, in the fable the FOX ending up
eating all the doomsayers.

Are you “prospering?”
Whether you see that as a Biblical term or just a financial term,
the question remains. Are you prospering from the talents you have?
Would you invest 97 cents to increase your prospering this week?
This Thursday evening at 7:00 PM CST I will be presenting The
97 Cent Thou Shall ProsperSeminar on how to prosper more
– by understanding how to “sell” yourself or your products. The
biggest obstacle I see for people is a reluctance or lack of
understanding of how to comfortably “sell” to increase income.
Whether you need a better job, a raise where you are now, want to
start a business or if you already have an enterprise in motion,
you can move up quickly if you learn how to sell well.
We want your participation in creating what will become a new
product for us. We plan to sell this audio and text transcript for
$39.97 – but if you will be part of the live teleseminar audience
Thursday night – we’ll drop that to $0.97. That’s right – just 97
cents. We want to identify you and give you an opportunity to ask
whatever question you may have. But you’ll get the whole thing as
it happens. I’ll be presenting tips to use in the critical first
ten seconds of interviewing, how to create warm leads for personal
selling, how to package and promote a product for online sales, and
how to use “risk reversal” to double and triple your sales
revenues. All you need is to grab your telephone – or you can even
listen live right here on your computer.
We’ll even gladly refund your $0.97 if you don’t feel this session
will dramatically increase your success immediately. No questions
asked. You decide. How’s that for a deal?
Just go here to register for The
97 Cent Thou Shall ProsperSeminar this Thursday night at
7:00 PM. And prepare to “prosper.” Incidentally, if you ask God to
help you prosper, you are simply asking for the opportunity to
serve more people. Go ahead – start asking.

I’m continuing to browse
through the hundreds of questions that come in. I trust that
answering these each week provides some clarification both for the
person submitting the question and for thousands more of you who
are likely challenged by the same issue.
Just click on this 48
Days Online Radio link and you can ask about resumes,
interviewing, at-home business or finding your purpose in life.
That’s the same place you can listen to this week’s broadcast
immediately – no downloading – no wait. 48 Days Online Radio
Here are just some of the most interesting questions addressed in
the current podcast:
- My husband started
two businesses, for which I am bookkeeper by default. I detest
it, it isn’t me.
- My gift is gab. I'd
like to become a professional speaker, but is talent enough?
How do I turn talking about nothing into a living?
- I am currently in a
job and soon to graduate from the local community college. I
am feeling guilty and not sure how to let my boss know. Do I
wait until I have a job or let him know I am looking?
- Hi Dan, I was
brought up hearing that if you make your hobby your fulltime
job you would get tired of it and wouldn't enjoy your hobby
anymore.
- Recently, I opened
up a tackle shop on the internet called fishingtrail.com. Can
you give some advice on how I can advertise it on a limited
budget?
- Dan, I am carefully
planning a way to generate my own income. I want my wife to be
involved as much as I in the decision making yet, she is so
scared of risk, she would rather live paycheck to paycheck
with me working for an employer with 'benefits' than to invest
time developing a long term plan with risk involved.
You can submit your
question right now – I’ll work as many in as possible for this
week's broadcast. 48

Police in Ohio were
mystified by the apparent theft of a complete toilet bowl from a
police station in Cleveland.
When a local news reporter asked the police sergeant if they had
any leads, he replied, "Unfortunately, at the present time we
have nothing to go on."

 Pure Breath & Water
comes to us from Larry Andron, an independent business owner who
has developed multiple streams of income that he helps other people
duplicate. Larry is a health advocate. For a long time his daughter
had itch and rash issues that no allergy testing found a solution
for. When he purchased this air purifier, all of her symptoms
finally subsided. She’s two years free of itch and rash problems.
After becoming a fan and realizing that many allergy and other
health problems can be caused by airborne contaminants, Larry
investigated the business opportunity. It turns out that the
manufacturer has been featured in various publications for offering
one of the most successful home based businesses out there. He
appreciates that the business helps people solve indoor air quality
problems and has the potential to help people realize their
financial goals as well. Check it out at www.tryfreshair.com/landron
