Description
There's no security in a job any more. Thousands are realising that they may never have full-time employment again. Many take the plunge into small business. Most fail, losing not only superannuation or redundancy funds, but family homes and assets as well. They become the "new poor" ....too old and too qualified for any available positions, and ill-prepared for the psychological and emotional challenges of finding themselves on the scrap heap. Many, conditioned to bureaucracy, have little idea of how to survive in a system where the rewards are given only for results, never for mere activity. Whether you're a retrenched manager, a woman returning to the workforce, a graduate with nowhere to go, an employee worried about the future or one of those who've already lost everything after taking the plunge into business, what's needed is a fresh, practical approach that offers genuine hope for the future. And that's exactly what's offered by this eye-opening exploration of low-cost, risk-free opportunities available in Australia.
