What Are You Hoping for in 2012?

 

Are you ready for the new year? Are you ready to put 2011 behind you and move on to what is waiting for you in the new year? If you are as ready as I am to say goodbye to the old and prepare for a new and promising future, then I suggest that you begin to expect the best and HOPE for blessings to begin coming your way.

Hope—like faith—is the ability to expect and anticipate God’s blessings and goodness. For we are asked to believe in and hope for what we cannot see, what is not tangible, but what can occur and come into fruition. We are told in Hebrews 1:1 that “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” It is through faith and hope that we build a relationship with God that allows us to trust in and believe in His goodness; a relationship that instills in us the fact that without faith we have no hope, we have no promise for the future. 

So what can you do to begin your journey of hope for the new year? It’s simple—be hopeful, and expect doors to open for you. Expect that your life is in transition into new and exciting opportunities. Expect that 2012 is just the beginning of more blessings and promises that God has in store for your life. And that His plan can be all that you ever desired or imagined when you simply decide that faith and your relationship with Him can bring a new beginning.

Great Career Tip #5 - Consider Multiple Revenue Streams

I have often worked more than one job at a time sometimes three, especially while in college, since paying for tuition can be costly. This time management lesson has proven to be a helpful tool when applied to my professional career and has taught me the importance of self preservation. 

Employers are loyal to themselves and their bottom line; therefore, we must be loyal to ourselves by developing other opportunities to earn income. 

Nowadays our money is not stretching as far as it used to; therefore, we need to consider other opportunities to generate more money. One of the best ways to accomplish this goal is to develop multiple means of earning potential, or multiple revenue streams.  I know what you’re thinking who has the time to devote to another job to make more money? My response it that who can afford NOT to consider how an additional means of income could impact their lifestyle?  So again I suggest, time management, so that you can live the life that you are entitled to.

Recently I wrote an ebook titled Need a Pay Raise? 7 Tips on Making More Money, this FREE ebook is still available on my blog at http://thedreamjobdoctor.blogspot.com. It’s a quick read and provides excellent tips on how you can alter your life and increase your earning potential. 

Ultimately we all need to consider the value of additional ways of making money. What happens if you lose your job? So many people today are being laid off due to this recession. If this occurs at least you will have the opportunity to bring in some additional cash through understanding the value of multiple revenue streams.
