I’m currently unemployed and I haven’t had a stable job in years. I’m pretty much a job hopper. My bank account doesn’t have a lot of money. In my life I rarely really worked a job. The only time I really worked a long time was as a chef at a four star hotel. I worked there for one and a half year.

I learned to be content with not having money. I use the resources I have at home. Being content isn’t difficult as long as you have a certain mindset. My mindset is to be happy with the resources I have, a laptop, a smartphone, my Ipod and a few books.

I learned that being happy isn’t difficult. I also just discovered self-education from Dean Graziosi. I had a college degree in Culinary Arts and I used to be happy to have it but over the years, my interests change and I’m more interested in being an English teacher to non-native English speakers.

To be content, we have to be real with ourselves. Working as an employee to most people, I believe, sounds unappealing but I think it’s the only thing that would work for me at this moment. To be content is to accept what you have in life, be happy and count your blessings. Work at what you’re good at and never compare yourself to the success of others. I just recently noticed and understand why many can become millionaires or billionaires because they work really hard and they continue to do what they do continuously without stopping. One example, Dean Graziosi, he is one of the world’s best public speakers and he always has something motivating and unlifting to say. He looks like a hardworker and I believe he is. The reason why I haven’t yet to reach my next level of success is because I didn’t work as hard as successful people.

If you’re like me, I’ve been unemployed for a year. The first thing I need to do before I apply for a job is to change my mindset. My mindset is:

I will meet new people, this might be my stable job and I will get paid at the end of the month. Working as an employee allows me to not worry about paying for expensive online business investments that I’m not sure if it’s even legitimate. Working as an employee is the first step to become active mentally and physically. It also allows me to learn the restaurant’s system. In the future, I can use this experience to start my own business.

Many and most folks dread the thought of 9-5 but for me, I don’t have much luck with online businesses yet because it requires paying a huge sum of money. I would experiment online business anytime, but I can’t afford to lose money for something that will not guarantee getting paid. I can only use free sites like Clickbank. If someone can assure me that I will succeed in an online business, I would not mind entering in that credit card number and pay the amounts listed.

It’s not that I don’t want to invest or refuse to invest. Investment was always on my mind. I just need to have assurance that it will be legitimate. If I invest and get the amounts back, I would be willing to invest right away.

An example of my goal is to be an employee for a company. Save up and set aside two thirds of the salary and visualize ahead what I want in life. My two main goals are buying a condo or a house and traveling to nearby countries. The main thing is to have a full time or part time job and while at home, use the time to educate myself about online businesses. I might get lucky in the future someday.

What are your goals and what are your ideas about unemployed folks at home?

Share your thoughts with me below.

Ask yourself this question. What do you want in life? A stable job, more money, a house, a car, or more money to travel?

How to set these goals even if you don’t have the money.

1. Visualize what you want. Picture everything that you want. For instance, mines is to buy a house on an island. How do I get there? The first plan I would make is to think about what skills I have. I have a degree in Culinary Arts, so I would visualize myself applying for a job at a restaurant or a hotel. What I need to do next is to practice the skills after I get the job offer. I’m not an expert when it comes to food art but it is not impossible to improve these skills as I already learned them in college. Do I like to cook? Yes and no.
2. Next step is to do your best at keeping that job for a year. After becoming an expert, I would want to apply to a better place. After getting accepted at the better place, I would improve my skills for a year. After knowing that this was the right job for me, I would go ahead and look for a condo or a house. Working as an employee is not easy but sometimes very necessary for some people who doesn’t know anything about online business.
3. Pay for the house in installment. Don’t think about the debt that you created. Think about how happy you would be when you get to own a personal home and not needing to depend on relatives or family members. I’m 29 years old right now and I still have 70 years of my life left to do something that I never did. Buying a house to me would be an accomplishment.
