"Downsizing" Articles
 

  • Six Reasons For Retirees To Consider an Upscale Adult Mobile Home Community - If you're retiring and wanting to downsize your living arrangement, a mobile home park may not be on your list of areas to check out. Mobile home parks sometimes conjure up images of dirty streets and cluttered yards - not anywhere a person who is house- and community-proud would want to live.
  • Tips for Turning 'Lessons Learned' into 'Best Practices' - Have you ever used or heard the expression, "In hindsight, knowing what we know today, we would surely have done things differently"? That's usually a good indicator that there were unanticipated events or circumstances that came back to bite, haunt, or baffle the participants of a particular project or undertaking. Even if the circumstances were difficult at the time, the good news is that astute observers can later extract valuable gems of wisdom from the experience, which they can then apply to their greatest advantage going forward. 20:20 Hindsight = "Lessons Learned" "Lessons learned" are the perfect 20:20 hindsight that we frequently have after completing a project or endeavor. This hindsight is worth its weight in gold if we mine its special value, but it's absolutely worthless if we don't make use of what it has to offer.
  • Don't Dread the Downsize: Plan to Make Your Move Stress-Free - There are many reasons for choosing a smaller living space: the kids have left, you want (or need) fewer responsibilities, perhaps it's because of financial issues or maybe you just want to simplify your life. Whatever your motivation, the prospect of getting your current stuff into your future space can be overwhelming, to put it mildly. Don't fret - thousands of people have survived a downsize with their sanity intact. The key to success is this: plan ahead, break it up and take it easy.
  • Success Is Just Ahead - Can You See It? - What is success to you? Does it involve attainment of wealth? A high ranking promotion in your company? Winning a prestigious award. All of us seem to have our own reasons what success means to us. However you define success it seems you would have to believe an adequate amount of money has be part of how you feel. Of course there are people who say that's not true. They believe that "money is the root of all evil". In reality it's "the love of money that's root of all evil".
  • Is Business Ownership In Your Future? - The last time we met I told you about the U.S. Department of Labor's prediction that within the next ten to fifteen years fifty percent of the American workforce will consist of home workers, independent contractors, consultants, telecommuters, freelancers, and of course, entrepreneurs. Think about that for a moment, especially if you are a diehard nine-to-fiver who can't imagine yourself leaving the comfort of a regular job to try something different. The workplace of the future is either going to be an exciting or dreadful place, and it's up to you which side of the coin you fall on.
  • Should You Consider Starting A New Business Close to Retirement Age? - The idea of starting your own business in your 50's may seem daunting but making your passion a career and becoming your own boss can be an enriching experience. It may surprise you that a good percentage of entrepreneurs are currently 50 years of age and older. Before considering taking this major leap it is important to weigh your options and as well evaluate the situation by asking yourself a number of questions. Some of these questions in fact may be very difficult to look at. The end result is an assessment of your current financial as well as employment and career situation at present or in the near future. Basically these questions focus on a number of areas and financial attributes. First how well do you know yourself and your passions?
  • Downsizing - Act before Becoming a Victim - The world always changes. Competition increases and on a worldwide basis. To compete successfully and effectively, companies use all means at their disposal, including downsizing. But if you get caught in the middle of downsizing, you end up under severe stress. You are then forced to act, often hastily.
  • Learn Something New and Boost Your Self-Confidence - We've all been told that one should never stop learning, but so many times this concept is placed in the framework of fear. "Keep acquiring skills so you'll remain marketable" is a frequent refrain for this generation's workers. "Stop learning and you start dying" is another example of selling the idea using a fear tactic. What would it feel like if you acquired a new skill as a way of doing something positive for yourself with no fear factor involved?
  • How Corporate Down Sizing Can Help Your Home Business - Most of us know someone working in corporate America. The sad fact is, being a corporate employee in today's economy is a risky venture. We continually hear of companies who are either down sizing or sending jobs overseas. For the corporate employee, it's a fearful situation not knowing how long your job is going to last. Most people see corporate down sizing as a bad thing.
