Even with the bailouts, many companies will be forced to reduce their workforce to remain in operation thru layoffs.

Since many employees are facing the risk of losing their jobs, putting a strategy or a backup plan in place is a wise choice. Some choose to be reactive and wait to be let go or fired before securing their future in a way or form. Others choose to take a proactive approach.

Below is a proactive strategy to create your very personal Bail Out Plan, ensuring job security and take control of your future:

1. Use your personal power to create a stream of monthly income other than your work. Being an entrepreneur is an exciting and rewarding. At least if and when you lose your job you have something to fall back on.

2. Invest in yourself: mentally, emotionally and physically. Continue to educate yourself. The number one task of an entrepreneur is marketing their business. Learn marketing, understand it, know it and breathe it. This is the lifeblood of your business. Equivalent effective marketing campaigns, loyal customers.

3. Remove the fear of scarcity by your thoughts. The scarcity or thought is not enough will get you exactly that. What do you think of more than bring into your life. Think abundance and you will have it.

6. Having multiple streams of income, so if one dries up or slows down the others will support it. For example, I have my business website, as well as a commercial real estate business. Find those areas that interest you and complete the current set of skills. Start with what you know to get the money flowing in, then venture into other areas that are not familiar or have never done before.

7. Partner with someone to generate more business. These are called joint ventures. Joint venture with others who have complementary products or services can help you build your clientele. This is also a method to get your message to the masses faster. This results in a snowball effect that builds your business faster.
