Youth unemployment is nearly at 1 million in the UK but with all this adversity comes huge opportunity. Unfortunately too many young people are using these statistics as a scapegoat for their own lack of drive; after all it’s easier to blame the wind instead of putting in the time to realign the sail.
The demand for workers may have changed but it’s those who have continued to increase their skills and value to the marketplace who have managed to stay financially secure.
On the other hand there are those who continue to feed off the scare mongering the papers throw at us, the ones who continue to let forces beyond their control dictate their future outcomes. These are the kind of people who are happy to go on strike when their jobs hang in the balance, but are the same people who have spent years in their role coasting.
“Don’t wait for a raise, become more valuable.” – Jim Rohn
The only way you can increase your income is to increase your value and that starts with you. Read the books, attend the seminars, consistently go beyond the call of duty because you matter.
Real value lies within. You are not your job. You are you and your personal value is the investment you put into yourself, the economy has nothing to do with it.

We absolutely love your blog and find a lot of your post’s to be just what I’m looking for.

Hey Emily! Thanks for reading my blog and I’m really glad you like it. I’m rather flattered that anyone would want to guest blog on my site but its definitely something I would consider if it’s inline with my own content. I can’t seem to view the link to your site but if there is anything you would like me to have a look at please send it over to cem(at)cem-yildiz.co.uk, look forward to hearing from you soon!
Hello there! I know this is kinda off topic but I was
wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?
I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers
and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform.
I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction
of a good platform.
Hey, thanks for reading my blog, I use WordPress with diythemes, thesis template it has served me well so far and is extremely editable. Hope that helps 🙂
