Although my interest and enthusiasm for looking for a job has grown since my failure at day-trading I am still not fully convinced that it is the way forward. More distressingly, I have not been able to deploy my network. I remember a friend who got laid off in 2001 and aggressively used his network to land in a job within couple of months - granted that 2009 is much more worse than 2001 I should be able to make some headway. It is not for lack of trying. I have tried to rejuvinate my old contacts - bosses, colleagues etc but it has not led to anything. May be I need a better strategy to make it work.
I still cannot get over the fact that I want to own a business. I still dream of owning a "super cashflow rich" business and doing something in Nepal. But looking from a practical point of view I am not sure if I can jump into a business right now. I feel that I do not have any practical training. THE RISK APPEAR SO GREAT. Even if I cannot a business now, I will still think about it an do something when I am 45-50. I think I am prepared better with the lay-off than ever.
I think the strategy is to seriously look for a job but also constantly think about entreprenurial ideas. Hopefully one will materialize soon.
