Free registration at the forum removes this block.I fear people will skip over this suggestion so let me elaborate.If I was an office worker and got laid off then I’d try to provide the exact same services to other businesses, but from home.
You maybe laid off, because apparently companies needed loans to make payroll and banks are closed because employee distancing themselves from people
The wife of a friend of mine was laid off from her H.R. position at Monsanto in the late 80's. She set herself up as sort of a corporate hitman for hire. She would evaluate a site or whole corporation and help them figure out who to lay off while maintaining continuity and maximizing savings. She worked for a cut of the salary the company saved the first year. She did this work for 7 years and made enough to retire. From then on she would help victims of discrimination in the workplace make their case and other philanthropic causes.OK, so it's not that HR services can't be offered as a freelancer. That's the part that confused me.
Yes, absolutely agreed that many people will not have the mindset, confidence, or desire to be self-employed. For many it won't be on their radar. For many others they'll think they need to take a course first. It's a bit of a shame.
You will have a lot of competition, there are more gurus that there are hand sanitizers in walmart shelvesI'd launch an action faking hotline...
Nice. I work with a small team of freelancers. They’re pretty much full-time with me, but I try to structure things so I’m a client of their business and so they can take on other clients later.it's a mandate that we provide financial education to our employees, including entrepreneurship, and that we allow for and support employees who are building their personal assets.

Imagine you’ve been working in accounts payable for the past 20 years.
You get laid off and start Googling for “work from home” or “make money online”. (God help you if you do as there’s many trip-wires lying in wait.)
After a lot of research you decide to create a course on how to teach Irish dancing because you’ve been giving evening classes for the last 10 years.
Or maybe you decide to dropship, “do affiliate marketing”, start a digital marketing agency, a blog, podcast, an “Amazon business” (whatever that is), or become a life coach.
Huh?
You’ve a skill that’s put food on the table and paid your mortgage for the last 20 years.
Why are you throwing all that skill and experience in the bin?
You’ll need to make sales and get customers and this may be new to you.
Newsflash... you’ll need to make sales and get customers whichever of the above options you pick.
So why not explore starting with what’s already paying your bills?
I’m taking my own medicine here. I’ve looked at other business models and have had some revenue from them. But if I lost my business this weekend then come Monday I’d do exactly what’s been bringing in the money these past few years.

I was in the Bahamas in late '18. I was not impressed with the food/drink offerings on the beach catering to tourists. The fried fish was terrible. I had a drink called a Bitch Slap. 151, rum and some other liquor and juice. It was so heavy on the alcohol, I couldn't finish it. My sister-in-law requested what I didn't finish; I suggested she sip it. She didn't listen and proceeded to guzzle it down. It took her three days to recover.
If you can provide quality grub and booze in these locales you'd clean up.
Mindset, the "hustle" lifestyle is not for everyone, especially if you have spent over 2 decades in corporate environment.I'm curious. Why not?
Not an action fake. I literally just got laid off today because of C0VlD-19.I'd launch an action faking hotline...

Yeah, working for themselves doesn’t even cross most minds.I know lots of people with office jobs that just have no desire to go out on their own. Come 5 o'clock they want to be done and collect their $35 an hour on the way out the door.

This is excellent. Hav you been doing this before C0VlD-19 and just expanded? Are you planning on continuing doing this after C0VlD-19?
How did you get started?
Thanks!

Reminds me of some "business advice' that I read on r/Redpill.Launch a pharmaceutical company and make a C0VlD-19 vaccine.
There are lots of ways to get started , learn a freelance skill you can sell over the internet. Look at different commercial machines/equipment you can buy and see what products you can make and sell from home. Learn how to market it and boom you got yourself a little business.
