On Friday, November 07, 2008, MoneyNews.com reported on the Labor Department’s unemployment picture claiming “…crucial jobs market deteriorating at an alarmingly rapid pace.” With government releasing news that the unemployment rate hit a 14-year high of 6.5% as the result of another 240,000 lost jobs, how can anyone be sure their job will be spared? So far this year, over 1.2 million jobs have been lost. “Job losses were widespread. Factories cut 90,000 jobs, construction companies got rid of 49,000 jobs, retailers cut payrolls by 38,000, professional and business services reduced employment by 45,000, financial activities cut 24,000 jobs, and leisure and hospitality axed 16,000 positions.” The report went on to say “It was stark proof the economy is almost certainly in a recession.”

If this is the case, are there any known companies having a proven track record of stability during a recession? Are there any industries showing less vulnerable than others? The answer for both questions is few. And even if someone could identify a company and or industry having a proven track record in safeguarding or insulating itself against a downsized market, what are the odds the competition wouldn’t be so staggering making it virtually impossible in landing that job; and what about the pay? What are the odds the pay will be better or even the same as with the previous employer… not good! Because so many people are vying for that position, the employer is able to keep the pay scale lower than during a prospering economy. Remember, business owners want to remain in business just as much as the job seeker wants employment… they must keep their overhead and cost to a minimum.

There really are companies that do have proven track records for being successful, even in a down economy. But it can be hard to see the forest for the trees. I am already beginning to receive an onslaught of emails with all sorts of businesses and schemes containing wild claims. Its times like these that we must be alert, knowledgeable and well informed on what’s real, what’s fake; what’s plausible, what’s implausible. The consumer must arm themselves with solid facts that are not merely quantifiable, but statistically proven in order to make an informed decision… after all – it is our future that is at stake. But how and where can we get quality information? By doing our own investigation! My career has been spent in the field of research and analysis, and without going into great detail of how I came to be where I am today, suffice it to say I researched a company for two years because I needed a back up plan that I could rely on. A company that I not only became proud of, but a company that responded to my need in a back up plan, providing security in direct proportion to the efforts I put in. A company where there is no competition in order to secure financial security.

With that said, I have provided this podcast to share with those individuals sincerely concerned in what their future has in store for them. I cannot think of anyone I personally know who cannot relate to any of these three individuals, all whom come from average background, education, and/or success. This is the most secure and safest way for anyone to begin their investigation into a company that has proved itself since opening their doors in 1992. A company that has successfully been through many trials and tribulations of economic ups and downs which few companies can claim; a company that has never experienced a single negative quarter of growth since the day their doors were opened. A company that, even though are not publicly traded, publishes an annual report which is exactly what any smart business person needs in their decision making process.

We are all about educating and empowering individuals; knowledge from our educational resources in making informed decisions to tools for leveraging in order to create successful and profitable businesses. Stability, flexibility, agility are the keys to success in our UnFranchise® System and business model.
