"Maximizing Your Greatest Asset" Lessons In Debt, Credit And Home Ownership

You may be wise to follow the bankers lead in assessing your strengths and weaknesses when faced with adversity. Now is the time to cut losses or dead weight and focus on what works best ! At this point, you are probably muttering to yourself about your income being cut and the fact that it feels as if everything on your back is dead weight.

Take a deep breath, it’s really not all that bad. Sit down at the table and make a list of not only all your physical assets such as your house, your car, boat, motorcycle, time share / condo, retreat cottage in the mountains, etc. . Also write down your personal attributes, your assets as a individual, yes, now is the time to look at what you excel in. Evaluate yourself from an employer's perspective. You are not your job, you are a human who has special abilities that brings life to a job. You know your strengths, so write down your talents, and your skills, also a list of things that make you happy such as a hobby or special interest. Now is the time to maximize YOU ! What makes you unique ?

You may not see the qualities that others see, ask a friend who is always honest with you to help. Big corporations use committees, boards, and other resources to evaluate their possibilities. Then they put together a marketing strategy to maximize on the most profitable option. You can do the same. First research online to see what professions, or categories would fit your talents, skills and special interest or you can tap a vast resource as well. The local state employment office will provide a free assessment of your interest, abilities, and match the professions best to utilize your skills, abilities and interest. You will probably have to ask for an evaluation test to be done. But can even tell you the salary range, and the likely employers in your chosen area to call upon.

Take a hint from the big corporations, remove the stress by downsizing the non-essentials in your life, cut out the frills exploring new ways to entertain yourself on less money. The objective just like in business, is to get yourself to the point where you can concentrate on your greatest asset = you ! Now may be the time to go back to school and expand on your natural talents and interest, or to expand on your years of experience in a field you still enjoy. By concentrating on the solution, you will see the opportunities that have opened up to you. Remember when one door closes, another opens. Look for the openings that can bring positive changes in your life.
