For many experienced professionals, finding a job in today’s economy can be very tough. Business owners, of both large and small companies, are focused on the bottom line more so than hiring new talent. Therefore, entrepreneurship has become a more viable option for many. The term, “forced entrepreneurship” is becoming a new trend as jobseekers consider the new normal in this “New Career Economy,” according to Chief Operating Officer and President of The Entrepreneur’s Source (TES) Brian Miller.
“When considering whether to invest in a business, look outside of your comfort zone,” says Miller. “In other words, it might be time to learn about something that’s in an industry or business sector from which you have no prior experience. This might strike you as insane, but consider the insanity of doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. We find, oftentimes, that people are short changing themselves and they have many more transferable skills than they might realize.
