Motivation to just keep going

This morning on the news there is talk about 'Green shoots of recovery'. Well that may be a while off yet but it gives heart to us all.

I have just been writing an article for the WHO2 newsletter on motivation and keeping going during the tough times. I know it can be difficult for me and I am OK on the personal motivation front.....so how do others cope? Maybe we should ask, it's not about money it's all about caring and sharing.

I problem shared is a problem halved. Just do it!!

New ventures for 2009

I am working on a joint venture to create courses for redundant people who are over 50 and have little hope of getting a job in this current economic climate. It's a departure for me as part of the course is all about e-commerce and getting your computer to earn money for you!! I am out of my depth but luckily Howard (my collaborator) is not! Between us we can deliver the skills needed to set up in business, take care of the personal and emotional issues of self-employment and get to have income whilst working from home.

This is also valid for many others who wish to take up this type of work, so the courses are open to all but we hope to start work with local companies in the first instance who are having to make so many people redundant.
