Hello Dear Small Business Community,

I don't know how many here started as unemployed, but what I have learned from my experience is, NEVER GIVE UP!.

I was laid off a few months ago due to the economy conditions. For 5 years I worked as a Technical Engineer for a medical devices company in California. A few months before getting laid off I started my business from home. I am still looking for a job while working on this new venture. It's though, since I have a family to support, sales are slow and it's hard to find a job. It's slowly picking up but I am very confident that even with this economy my business will pick up.

My message to any one in this or similar situation.

- Never Give Up!
  • - Work Extremely Hard!*
  • - Networking Is Very important!*
  • - Give 100% Satisfaction To Your Customers!*

I am like you... my business was born out of unemployment. After our family relocated to a rural area, I diligently searched for a job. I went on several interviews but, for various reasons it didn't work out. So, I decided to put my skills to work for myself. I haven't been happier. Yes, it's been tough growing the business in a recession but, I have less stress to deal with. I can manage my own time and make my own schedule. I have no regrets!
