 Fight the Beast. Have you suffered financially over Covid19? Have you lost money, had a cut in wages, spent your savings to exist or even lost your job?

So you want money now. Maybe some extra money to put you back to where you were before this disaster happened: perhaps you need a job to replace the one you lost. You might even have realise that the job you have is not what you want and it is time for a change. Well here is a course that lays our dozens of ideas for full or part-time work that you can do without capital money, a vehicle, equipment, training or premises. Ideas that have been tried and tested over again. Ideas that don't depend on the internet. Ideas that can bring money in within days, without any catch. The level of work that you can do will depend 100% on your ability to take action and do something straight away, be strong and optimistic, and be positive and polite.

This course combines not just the ideas that will be your work of the future but how to market your project with no money (or very little). It combines two courses which had over 1900 students between them. We have combined the two and reduced the price to make it affordable to everyone. The course is full of ideas that are suitable for anyone with any level of education. The course consists of easy to follow videos that are fully self explanatory,

Most of these opportunities are local and need no special expensive equipment or other outlay, no special skills, no premises (you can operate from home), and no traveling. For many you need no transport. Where you will need equipment it will be low cost or something you use at home. In some cases as the business develops you will be able to invest in more robust equipment to improve the quality and speed. Some skills can be learned on the job or in an online course. Most are local projects with just a few on-line ideas. This course does not promises great riches overnight. It does offer you a steady income that you can begin today, and be paid on completion, in some cases paid in advance.

You should take this course if you are motivated and driven to succeed, if you are positive and prepared to take enthusiastic action. If you do not have those qualities then stop reading now!!

All the Lonely People - where do they all come from!

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been. Lives in a dream. Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for? All the lonely people. Where do they all come from? All the lonely people. Where do they all belong? 
The world is full of lonely people. There might be a lonely person sitting next to you on the bus, working alongside you at work, behind the window you are walking past, or even in the next room to you now - in the heart of your family. 
Loneliness can be staring you in the face in the mirror and you can't see it. Maybe you are lonely, can't find anyone on the same length, can't talk to strangers or even your family and tell them your inner most secret thoughts. Loneliness doesn't discriminate. Loneliness sometimes strikes us when we least expect it. Loneliness does affect us all at sometime, even for a brief spell. But some people spend a life of loneliness, never having anyone to share with. Have a look at the first illustration and see if any of the descriptive words strike a cord. If you can list more than three then you need to look at your life.

Loneliness is not a disability but a whole variety of disabilities can make people lonely. And many of these disabilities are outside the categories of disability as laid down in the original DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) but I still think they are disabilities and have barriers that need to broken down. 

I'm talking about self confidence and self esteem. I'm talking about negativity and inaction. I'm talking about those who are trapped, perhaps when they are at work and not able to apply for a new position or even finding any satisfaction there. And considering most of us spend a third of our days at work then this is really depressing. I read the other day that over 81% of the population spend more than an hour a day thinking about what they'd like to do if they could, or if they won the lottery, or had a car, or had friends to go out with at the weekend. Think about it. That is equivalent to almost one and a half days a month. Wishing your life away.
There are some people that so lack in confidence and self esteem that they won't even go out of their from door. 
 Think how difficult this is, for what I guess we would call able-bodied people! Now consider how much more difficult for disabled folk. Maybe someone who has little or no eye-sight; a wheelchair user; or someone who has a mental disability. And some do suffer but many have managed to overcome and found confidence to do great things. Have a look at the Paralympics. Look at politicians and scientists that have done so well. 
So here's the thing. If you feel lonely are are out and about start being aware of others. Instead of sitting there afraid to look at others or say anything. Start looking at other people in the face, not starting but just looking at them for a second or two and smile. Don't carry on looking. Look away after a second or two, long enough for them to recognise and respond. Then move on. This is really beneficial.

•  It actually makes you feel good inside, smiling lightens your spirit
• The other person may smile back and this will make them feel good. Most people feel good if they are just acknowledged with a smile.
• The other person may smile at someone else and the cycle continues.
• This will ripple out and affect many people over a relatively fast period. 
• I guess smiling is a good head exercise too.

 Look at this girl here. If she smiled at you then you'd probably feel good and smile back. This is not some sort of strange way to pick up or be picked up by someone but merely a stranger giving a happy signal.Give it a try. And you can raise your confidence too. A smile is often the introduction to an exchange of words. But first step first. Want to shrug off loneliness or build your confidence? Then start smiling at people today. I know its not easy but take that first step and it will become easier and more enjoyable every time.
Out of interest I smile and talk to most people in shops, on buses and trains, queuing anywhere, in doctors waiting rooms. I'm not looking for any sort of conversation just passing the time of day. If someone wants to talk more then I'm usually up for it. Usually it's "Lovely day isn't it", "Did you see the match yesterday?" "It's busy here today isn't it" Try this and be surprised day. Sometimes people will ignore you, others they'll look annoyed but in my experience about 98 out of every 100 will respond positively.


So stop thinking you ain't good enough. Throw away that invisible cloak that you hide inside. Step out into the real world and live. So forget about the words at the top of the page and look at this grid. Now choose the words that describe you or that you would like to be described as. Learn about your inner self. 
Now look at those words again. Easy! Positive! Optimistic! Free! Certain! Daring! Affectionate! Curious! Who do you know who has all those characteristics? Would you like to be more like them? To be more confident, with self-esteem, and a good mixer you need to gather others with those qualities around you, they will energise you and also ward off pessimistic, miserable lonely people.  

 
The secret of life is to 
JUST BE YOURSELF



 

Statistics with regards to Disabled People in the UK

These statistics cover Great Britain and are reviewed and updated throughout the year as new data is published. Sources are available under Official Statistics,Disability facts and figures, Published 16 January 2014 by the UK Government

General demographics and Employment

There are over 11 million people with a limiting long term illness, impairment or disability. The most commonly-reported impairments are those that affect mobility, lifting or carrying .
The prevalence of disability rises with age. Around 6% of children are disabled, compared to 16% of working age adults and 45% of adults over State Pension age .

It is obvious that the number of adults over the State Pension age is going to be high. This group usually fear and expectthat they will gain a disability as they grow older. 

Disabled people remain significantly less likely to be in employment than non-disabled people. In 2012, 46.3% of working-age disabled people are in employment compared to 76.4% of working-age non-disabled people. There is

therefore a 30.1 percentage point gap between disabled and non-disabled people, representing over 2 million people. The gap has reduced by 10 percentage points over the last 14 years and has remained stable over the last two years despite the economic climate
 
The number of disabled people of working age is a concern because many are unemployed despite being capable. Employers are supposed to take on the most capable person for a position but because some don't see beyond the disability they feel the person will not be able to carry out their duties: it will be difficult for the business to support them: a fear that the person will need extra time away from work: or many other reasons. I feel that we still have an upward struggle to get the message across that often the disabled person will be a real benefit to the business.   

Living standards

A substantially higher proportion of individuals who live in families with disabled members live in poverty, compared to individuals who live in families where no one is disabled.
19% of individuals in families with at least one disabled member live in relative income poverty, on a before housing costs basis, compared to 15% of individuals in families with no disabled member.

21% of children in families with at least one disabled member are in poverty, a significantly higher proportion than the 16% of children in families with no disabled member.

The gaps here appears to be a direct tie in with employment. I believe that education plays an important role here as so many disabled people have suffered a poor education in the past which will be reflected in their initial CV and lack of scholastic achievements compared to others at the interview stage. The disabled people who are unable to find work will find that they stay in the poverty zone and are unlikely to be able to pull themselves out. And as we know, this group are fighting higher prices across the board, often shopping at local convenience stores where goods can be slightly more expensive. This also applies to utilities where they are tied to higher rates or even on paid meter charges.  And all of these slight increases add up and eat into low incomes.

We all realise too that low income families often buy less nutritious foods, sometimes through necessity but often through ignorance. We are bombarded with cooking programmes on TV, most of which take some experience to duplicate at home. Convenience foods rule. But home cooing from raw ingredients is cheaper and nutritious.

Education

And now for some good news.

Between 2005 to 2006 and 2010 to 2011, the percentage of pupils at the end of Key Stage 4 achieving 5 or more GCSEs at grades A* to C has:

• increased from 66.3% to 88.9% for students without Special Educational Needs (SEN)
  
• increased from 19.8% to 59.2% for students with SEN without a statement
  
• increased from 8.7% to 24.9% for students with SEN with a statement 
  pupils at the end of Key Stage 4 achieving 5 or more GCSEs at grades A* to C has:
  
  

The gap for students with and without special educational needs without a statement has dramatically closed which means that there will be more opportunities for work in the future for these disabled people. They will be able to compete at the interview stage and hopefully will have sufficiently strong personalities to impress the interviewer.

19.2% of working age disabled people do not hold any formal qualification, compared to 6.5% of working age non-disabled people. With the educational success in recent years this will improve as explained above

14.9% of working age disabled people hold degree-level qualifications compared to 28.1% of working age non-disabled people. There is a wide gap here but it is hoped that universities are making a bigger effort to fulfill the needs of disabled students and putting them on a more level playing field.

Independent living

Over a quarter of disabled people say that they do not frequently have choice and control over their daily lives 

Discrimination

Disabled people are significantly more likely to experience unfair treatment at work than non-disabled people. In 2008, 19% of disabled people experienced unfair treatment at work compared to 13% of non-disabled people.

Around a third of disabled people experience difficulties related to their impairment in accessing public, commercial and leisure goods and services. 

Despite the different legislation, starting with the DDA 2004, only a small percentage of businesses and organisations have taken any practical steps to remove obstacles and there is still a lack of awareness about disability that creates discrimination.

Leisure, social and cultural activities

Disabled people remain significantly less likely to participate in cultural, leisure and sporting activities than non-disabled people. Latest data shows disabled people are more likely to have attended a historic environment site, museum or gallery than in 2005 to 2006. However, disabled people are less likely to have attended a library over the same period.

I know from experience as a disability access consultant and auditor that many public facilities are in older building where access is difficult and barriers cannot always be removed, and I believe that this, together with the difficulties around crowds of people has lead to less disabled people attending cultural, social or sporting activities. The Paralympics have done much in the last few years to change our perspective regarding disable people and this can only lead us towards a more inclusive society.

Civic involvement and volunteering

Disabled people remain significantly less likely to participate in cultural, leisure and sporting activities than non-disabled people. Latest data shows disabled people are more likely to have attended a historic environment site, museum or gallery than in 2005 to 2006. However disabled people are less likely to have attended a library over the same period 
Disabled people are significantly less likely to engage in formal volunteering. In 2010 to 2011, 23% of disabled people engaged in formal volunteering at least once a month, compared with 25% of non-disabled people.

Transport

Around a fifth of disabled people report having difficulties related to their impairment or disability in accessing transport 
Between 2004 to 2005 and 2011 to 2012, the percentage of buses with low-floor wheelchair access increased from 52% to 88%.

But I see that this has changed now. The deadline for having level access onto public transport was 2015 and all new buses have been suitably equipped. I have seen that locally pavements have been raised to accommodate older vehicles. This must be good news for wheelchair users.

Housing

Although the gap in non-decent accommodation has closed over recent years, 1 in 3 households with a disabled person still live in non-decent accommodation. 1 in 5 disabled people requiring adaptations to their home believe that their accommodation is not suitable.

Good news today. 

The bedroom tax has been declared unlawful by the appeal court due to its impact on vulnerable individuals, dealing a significant blow to the  Work and Pensions Secretary. Judges ruled that in two cases – those of a victim of extreme domestic violence and grandparents of a severely disabled teenager – the government’s policy amounted to unlawful discrimination.

The disability case was brought by Paul and Sue Rutherford, grandparents of Warren, who is seriously disabled child and who needs overnight care in a specially adapted room.

In both cases, the claimants faced a cut in housing benefit because they were deemed to be “under-occupying” the additional rooms which were classified as spare.

This should be good news for those caring for other severely disabled people needing similar care in similar situations.

Be Positive

 You may think that you could never be a in a top job but you can if you want.

Often you hear the expression "You can do anything you really want" But that just isn't true. Right now its not possible to jump off a building a fly without some sort of aid. You will find it impossible to be a Call Centre Telephonist if you are totally deaf. But you can do anything that is physically within your capabilities but that might stretch your mind. So you can start at ground level and become a leader. Ok. It's going to be tough and even more difficult if you are a woman (that's a fact) but if you totally focus you can achieve.

But every achievement starts with a single step, single action that will start the ball rolling. And that is where 99% of people fail. They dream, the dream so more, then dream about what they have dreamt about. But they don't take any action to turn that dream into a reality.

But YOU CAN. You can be that one in a hundred. Just take that first step.

May be you have been out of work for some time . . . . and feel you'll never get a job. You are on a loser twice over. You are now feeling negative about your chance of ever getting a job and this will spill over on everything you do. And you will look like a loser so when opportunities do come along you wont be considered.

How can you over come this?

By changing your mind-set to being positive and by taking dynamic action. Sounds simple! And after making the decision to change it will become easy. But that first step certainly isn't. So make that decision then fake it til you make it. Act in a positive way. Talk and act in a positive manner. No matter how you feel. Banish those negative thoughts and replace  them with positive ones.



The First Steps to Success.

So try this:

• Make some prompt cards. These are small cards or pieces of cardboard about 7cm x 12cm.
• Write a positive thought on one piece such as "I am only going to think positive thoughts today" or "I will spend every moment taking action"
• Carry this card with you for a week and look at it at least every hour of each day whilst you are awake.
• Do what it says on the card throughout the day.

We all waste time. We all have negative thoughts rushing through our heads. To change you must really want to. And if you have something to help you it will be easier. I used to write on the mirror in my bathroom "You are looking at a winner" or "You will get that order today" when I was a salesman. The card that you carry is a vital tool. Look at it when you wake up and just before you turn off the light to go to sleep. Look at it throughout the day. Set the alarm on your smartphone to every hour and this will remind you and keep you focussed. It will be difficult and you will find that (a) your mind will keep dwelling on negative things and the bad things that might happen in your life (b) you will want to give up and think this is a waste of time. BUT DON'T GIVE UP. Because when you look back after just a week you will begin to see a change in yourself. It can be this quick.

Once you start having positive thoughts I promise you good things will start happening to you. Just like when you've been having negative bad thoughts nothing seems to have gone right.

That is the next step. Just concentrate on becoming positive this week.

If you are looking to get , change or upgrade a job this is certainly going to help. The other thing that will certainly give you the edge is by buying a copy of my e-book pdf self-help programme Just the Job. Go to www.gettingajob.org.co right now and order your copy. And get that job.

You can do it. You can be that one in a hundred. There is a job out there waiting for you.



Good Luck

Just the Job

Unemployed? Not happy with your job? Want to upgrade your job? 
Of course you do. You'd be in the majority. Too many people are out of work or on a zero hour contract or unhappy with their job.
But most won't or don't know how to find the job they want. They don't know how to succeed at interviews. They don't know how to persuade the person interviewing them to give them the job.
Mike Leahy's new e-book is called Just The Job and is available now and will take you through the whole job seeking process. Take a look at www.gettingajob.co.uk where, for a small investment of just £9.95 you can start you future straight away.

Getting a job isn’t just turning up at interview. The whole process is getting yourself into shape, having a process for finding likely jobs, being successful at the interview and closing to get the job offer.

Here are the opening paragraphs

I have been shocked that so many people I have met and talked with just do not know how to go about looking for a job and securing it. It seems that many think that the only way is to look on the internet. You can buy anything through E-Bay or Amazon, you can find out about anything through Google, but you can’t find a job so simply. This book will show you what you have to do and how to do it. It isn’t a magic formula that will give you a job. You have to work for it. Put the work in and you’ll get that job, money and self-respect. Remember! Getting that job is a full time job itself.

Redundancy, downsizing, cut backs, inflation, devaluation and internet shopping are all terms that have connotations for everyone but strike fear into the hearts of many workers because it could mean that they lose their job.
The changes in society mean that a job for life has completely disappeared even in banking and national and local government. So we now have lifetime learning and often the need to re-train for jobs. This does lead to problems where you might train up for the type of work you’d like to do then can’t get a job in that sector so you go back and re-train for something else.
And even when you get a job you don’t know how long it will last. Some companies just have short contracts that they keep renewing so there is so is no security there. Others just offer part-time jobs so you’ll not earn enough to live or you’ll have to take two jobs just to get a full-time wage. And some companies such as Amazon actually cut shifts when the staff arrive. So you get up early to start at say 5 o’clock and when you get inside and change into your boots then you’re told that there’s no shift. Companies go bust and the first thing the staff know is when they read it in the paper, see it on Facebook or go to work and find the doors locked.

Only buy this book if you are not afraid to take action. Too many people but programmes and never implement the ideas.
