Alternative Work for Any Profession

We all need to earn additional income. Who would not want additional cash on their wallet? In this day and age, people from all walks of life need additional income, even those who have acquired their degree. What are the possible ways to earn for any profession?

Freelance Article Writer

The internet's full of it. Thank you for Google's update, a website should always have fresh content to make it relevant. A person who practices their profession is an expert on their own. Who would better describe teaching methods than a teacher? Who can better explain illness and expected treatments than a nurse or a doctor? Who can better identify problems in behavior than a psychologist? Information is a commodity that the internet is selling like pies. A professional can write a dichotomy of a variety of subjects. There is always a need for someone to explain an aspect of the profession and in terms that the layman can understand. This is one channel a professional can learn additional income.

Teaching

How do students become teachers, doctors or nurses? They were guided and taught by people who gained knowledge and skills from the same profession. A nurse can study and gain the needed certification to provide classroom teaching. The nurse does not need to stop being a nurse in a hospital or a clinic. The nurse can simply come in for the classroom lecture or supervise students in the clinical area.

Consultancy Services

The knowledge and skills that a professional acquires through years of experience in their field can be used to guide other professionals. For instance, a professional with a doctorate can provide consultancy services for a specified amount of fee to professionals that are completing their thesis or dissertations. They can also provide solutions for an individual or a company wanting to address conflicts in their organization.

Write a book

For someone who has a lot of time in their hands, writing a book can be an avenue for additional earnings. While this may take time for some, when the book gets published and the target audience starts subscribing or buying the book, the income will continue for years, until a new one is published.

An individual is limited only by their set of values. Additional income is always welcome, but it does not have to be a new job with better pay. A professional can always give advice and provide knowledge for a specified amount of fee without leaving the security of their current job.

Simplify to Multiply

I don't know why you want to improve your mind.

I don't know whether you want to perform better in business, studies or on the field.

Or if you want to supercharge your career, as an employee or entrepreneur.

Or you simply want to live your full potential.

In any case, you can improve yourself in counterintuitive ways.

I got to thinking about this when my mind dug up something I haven't thought about in ages:

Many years ago, I read an article from someone who had just upgraded their mobile phone.

Before the upgrade, they could make calls and send texts. And they'd text maybe twice a day, and call twice a week.

Then they got their new, fancy phone with (gasp) internet capabilities.

Now, they were on their phone all the time.

What confused and even troubled them was what this meant for their telco of choice.

Back when they barely used it, they paid (say) $30 a month.

Now they're glued to it, they were paying around $40 or $50 bucks a month.

The economics of that can't hold! Every phone provider has gone mad and is teetering on the brink of financial ruin!

... right?

Well, history shows it wasn't so. That was a very good time to sell mobile phone plans.

So, what gives?

Were the older phone plans so overpriced, there was enough slack to handle this shift?

That's likely, sure.

Were they making most of their profits from elsewhere - say, business plans as opposed to individuals?

Probably, but they weren't making a loss on plans for individuals.

Was it simply economies of scale? More users, so they could make it up in volume?

That was probably a factor.

But one thing that really helped - at least, by my limited understanding of telecommunications - was what they did in the core networks.

Or what businesses would call the back-end.

The earliest mobile phones could make calls - barely.

Then engineers tweaked the signals to carry more data, which let them provide text messages and limited data. Enough for, say, basic news and weather apps.

But then the mobile internet started becoming a thing, so they had to build two networks - one for calls and texts, the other for their laughably rudimentary internet. Plus they had to get these two networks to talk to each other.

It was, I'm sure, a real hassle.

So when the next generation of technology came around, they integrated it all into one network. Calls, texts, data - all going through the same system.

The end user enjoyed faster, more reliable and better integrated services.

The telco enjoyed having one system to maintain, not two.

This, I would guess, helped them keep the price down while revolutionising what they offered.

Which brings me to your call-to-action:

There are places in your life and in your mind that could use a little of this.

Simplifying a process to create a more sophisticated output.

Consolidation, integration and streamlining, to remove the friction points in your thinking and actions. Some of it might involve your external circumstances - say, outsourcing your chores to free up your time.

And some of it will come from thinking hard about your own thinking.

This is your challenge: where in life can you simplify to multiply your results?

So that's one way to enhance your life.

But if self-improvement really interests you, what would you do with more techniques than you can use?

Like, say, 60 of them?

Joe Rogan Experience #1169 - Elon Musk

Maintaining Momentum During a Global Slowdown

You have spent countless weekends positioning your business, tweaking your product, perfecting your offer. Tirelessly sacrificing your free time, investing all your efforts into your passion, your dream, your wonderfully spectacular goal. You have built it and you're ready to reap the fruitful rewards when…

With little warning, literally overnight, the world suddenly changes. The rules were frantically rewritten, the access to your clients became extremely limited, and ‘business as usual’ abruptly and quickly held to a new definition.

So we are now faced with a new dilemma, on this precipice of the unknown; how do we maintain momentum during this global slowdown?

3 Key Activities for Your Business

As the dawn of the new norm brings the instability of fear and panic, the loss of predictable income, and limitation to your business, that are far outside of your contingency plans, you are left with two choices; sink or swim.

Your natural instinct is to survive, to thrive in the face of adversity and to shine in the glory of triumph.

That is the outlook needed to become a market leader in this new and uncharted climate.

As I amp'd up my activities, I knew there were 3 key activities that would prove to be the most effective and rewarding for my business. If done correctly, you will bring to fruition more than you’ve planned or desired, soon realizing there is hope and benefit to a global slowdown, for you and your clients too.

Action Item One - Stay Active on Social Media.

This is not the time to retreat, to panic or lower your voice. This is the time to be present, to lead, to inspire and draw attention to what you offer. But you can no longer do it in the pre-slowdown way. You will need to be creative in how you share your messaging.

Joint ventures- - cross promoting, hosting online meetups, offering free content of value, and being your true authentic self.

Remember, people are looking for a break from the perils they’re facing. Your business may offer the distraction they need and if done correctly, may just lift their spirits, turning them into a referral client, just because you stayed present in a time of crisis.

The Second Action Item - Podcasts

This is a strategy I began, with laser focus and determined intent, to be a champion of for 2020. My mission, be a guest- - on multiple podcasts shows each month of the year for the entire year.

This is not a simple task. It will take some planning, online networking, and campaigning to draw the opportunities to you. But now more than ever, people will turn to the power of the podcast to help them through these frightening times. People are looking for inspiration, motivation and solutions that will bring them hope.

Learning is suddenly a valuable currency and will be a game changing asset in this untrodden future.

Your Last Action Item - Blog What You Know

If the global slowdown gave me one gift, it was the gift of time. Time for my kids, time for my wife and time to write. There are many ways to share your writing. Many places to connect with your clients and help people with the solution you share.

With time comes curiosity, inquisitiveness, exploration; this is how they will find you. They will look for answers to questions they never had time to answer, until now. Your blog may be the golden nugget they were seeking, but didn’t realize where to find it.

This will drive people back to your website, Amazon page- -Amazon page, social media hub, or anywhere you direct them.

When you marry all three strategies together, in unison, you develop a magnetizing voice that will empower and inspire your audience to follow you and become a client.

This is how you maintain momentum during a global slowdown.

Working From Home Efficiently

Okay, I admit it. I do not transition very well. For years I have built my business providing face-to-face sessions in my office. Now, due to the COVID-19 I have had to mentally and physically operated my practice from my condo. It took a few days until I was psychologically ready to do this. Now, however, I have a system and am quite comfortable with the new ways of serving clients.
Here are some of the things for you consider so that you can successfully work from home:
  1. Attitude - Being at home does not mean that you are on holidays. You need to give your employer a day's work for a day's pay and, if you are self-employed, to honour your business goals.
  2. Schedule - Book your week for the same times you would if you were at the office. Your start and end times shouldn't be altered. You can still have meetings, telephone contact with clients and complete tasks even though you might need to have alternate ways of doing them. A forty-hour work week meanings forty hours of working.
  3. Routine - Get up and groom yourself for the day. Set and follow a pattern that you can use repeatedly to stay in the work mode. The other day, I heard a journalist talk about her friend who has worked at home for years. Each morning, he dresses, leaves his house, and walks to a deli where he picks up a cup of coffee. He immediately walks home and as soon as he enters the door of his house, he knows he is at work! The daily walk helps him to psychologically transition. I set the alarm on my phone to remind me of the start and end times for breaks and lunch throughout the day and honour these times.
  4. Setting - You need to set up private a place that is designated only for work and equipped to do your tasks. Years ago, a real estate agent told me that her work and domestic lives were inappropriately enmeshed until she had a door installed on one room in her house. The door separated the two parts of her life for her!
  5. Distractions - Turn off the television! Make sure that family members know the importance of respecting the fact that you are working. Teach children that a "Do Not Disturb Sign" means that you are busy. Save personal conversations with friends until after your workday is over.
  6. Adjustments - Ensure that you have all the "tools" you need to do your job. I don't see clients at my condo. My staff helped me to choose a secure software program so that I can do confidential therapy sessions with clients instead. We can see each other while we talk but can be miles apart at the same time
  7. Focus - Businesses succeed when they make or sell products and services. Your thoughts, time and efforts need to always keep this in mind. Sitting in a hen house doesn't make you a chicken and just stating that you are working doesn't make you a successful employee or business owner. You need to continually contribute to transactions and the bottom line.
  8. Timelines- If you have another physical office it is protected, insured and clean. You might be able to save some money while you are temporarily working from home (transportation, supplies, or even reduction in telephone/internet packages) but always keep in the mind that the office you will be returning to needs to be ready for you.
  9. Preparation - Think about the adjustments that you can and will make in order to improve the business in the future. Temporarily working from home does not mean that you are in a "time out" where you just sit and wait for things to change. Take new ideas and refine them. Consider changes that you can make for efficiency. Think about the needs of your clients and how you can better fill them. Be creative. For example, I have been using the time that I would normally use travelling back and forth to my office to write an "Anxiety" handout for clients.
  10. Hope - Life and business have both good and hard times. We all want to live on the mountaintop experiences, but the fruit actually grows in the valley! Learn to be content and give thanks no matter what is happening in the world! Mountaintop and valley.
