Welp, I'm approaching rock bottom. Still haven't regained employment after getting let go in June, and have failed to launch a business in any form despite trying to do so. I may end up homeless.
Willing to listen to any advice.
Almost all of the things you recommended I'm already doing. That's the problem with telling someone you know nothing about what to do, you waste your time being redundant.You aren't going to want to here this...but I would work on yourself through (1) exercising and (2) learning relentlessly about business, success, and marketing.
Working on yourself will give you personal wins and confidence. And with that confidence...surround yourself with good friends and network with them. They'll see that new confidence in you...and recommend you for work. Without confidence...you'll appear desperate at your interview...and you will have already lost.
Cut the fat. Watching tv, movies, eating crappy food, beer, etc. This will lower your confidence.
Up your resume...to increase your changes of getting hired. Practice interview questions...don't go in there unprepared.
Go to church. Because if you do go homeless...there are people who would go through great lengths to help you...and a great place to network for work.
Job search nation wide. I was stuck searching in just my area...and never considered searching out of state where I had family. I moved out of state...although still working for myself...and just getting out of my loser environment motivated me to grind even more.
And once you land that job...start working on your business in your spare time!
Oh...and maybe you should tell people here what city you are in...so they can help. Best of luck to you!
Almost every interview I get the interviewer is shocked and concerned that I chose not to participate in laying people off.
Good idea. I also recommend he search Craigslist for those one day to couple days gigs on there. I have made a little money in the past helping some people move stuff around their house or do landscape work with them. I see listings for people wanting their lawn cut, helping them paint, helping them move, assisting a disabled person/elderly.Have a lawn mower sitting around? Can easily make $200 a day with a little hustle.
Had two great interviews this week, finally starting to make some progress. Investing almost all of my time into networking and preparation. Frustrating, but things will get better if I don't give up.
Sometimes in these situations you tend to be scatter brained. I've learned recently that success is built sequentially rather than simultaneously. It is a good reminder when you're stressing out. You just need to get that first stepping stone, then move to the next, then the next, etc.Had two great interviews this week, finally starting to make some progress.

Get on Craigslist and post in the "room wanted" section. Advertise your skillsets / experience and see if you can trade that for someone's couch or extra room. There's tons of families that could use a babysitter. You can work on your biz / side hustle while babysitting and living rent-free. Good luck
I think a lot of people could benefit from the details. Things going on track since August?got it figured out now
The people holding those ANYTHING HELPS signs make a very good living sometimes. F()K that hammer, make yourself a sign......
I think that is a low average in some places. I've always wanted to go out and do it just to see how much I could make but it seems like hard work standing there in the sun or cold all day. I don't think I could do it over an hour or 2 at the most. I'd have to go get something to eat and take a nap.
Not sure why people revived this thread, have been back on my feet since September. Doin well
What did you figure out?got it figured out now
