Multiple Revenue Streams and YOU

Multiple Revenue Streams and YOU A few days ago I wrote Job Creation in America. A comment I got from someone who apparently runs Bangladesh Government Job Circulars (a website) said (his comments in bold, my reactions not in bold): Well yeah i totally agree with you that i am the one who is in charge of my lifestyle and income i generate Im glad we agree but Ah, the buzz killer when most of the people realize that they already invested their time and money in getting degree or in education sector after that all they left is just a good result in academic I hope that going to school, investing time and money in, is something you proactively realize you are doing before you do it, and not just have this epiphany after you have done it.  And, you should probably figure out if the goal of your very expensive academic career is to result in good academic (or, be smarter, wiser, get a good education, etc.), or to prepare you to have a more upwardly mobile career (or, make you more marketable). In my opinion, these are two very different goals, and would require very different paths while in school. so we all tend to get a job because which is most risk free I would argue that neither is risk free, but getting a job is the next socially acceptable step on your career path.  But I run JibberJobber, and meet lots of people who have found risk in their jobs (and are now looking for other jobs). and starting business need money which most of us dont have Some businesses require no money to start.  Others find ways to finance their business, even if they dont have any (through sales, investors, ramen noodles, etc.). Look, Im not telling you that you have to be an entrepreneur, and be poor for the next 15 years of your life. Nor am I saying that starting your own business is all roses. Im talking about creating multiple revenue streams, strategically, purposefully, and proactively.  That could mean you have multiple jobs (each of which would be their own revenue stream).  Or it could mean you consult, which has virtually no-cost to startup. One reason I pound on the entrepreneur drum so much is that if you do things well, and have a fair amount of luck, the upside is pretty awesome. Generally, you wont be laid off from your own business. Generally, your income is not capped by a percentage increase, like various jobs I have had. Or, your raises arent dictated by the whims of a boss. Youll have more control over what kinds of people you work with.  There are other benefits, but yeah, its not all fun and games and cashing checks.  Its HARD.  Its WORK. You might even cry.  If you are married, your spouse will likely cry. Let me share one of the reasons I started JibberJobber: I wanted to create a revenue stream of $100 a month. Then, when I got my next job, if I got laid off again, my employer would not be able to take away 100% of my income. I hated giving that power to anyone.  But if I could just make $100 a month, then no matter what, that was my $100! Pros and Cons but I dont need to hear your buts. If you have buts, you probably arent ready Multiple Revenue Streams and YOU A few days ago I wrote Job Creation in America.

What do our archaeology graduates do after they leave the University of Manchester #6 Ians story University of Manchester Careers Blog

What do our archaeology graduates do after they leave the University of Manchester #6 Ians story University of Manchester Careers Blog By John Piprani In this the final part of my examination of what UoM Archaeology graduates are doing now. I met Ian Trumble at Bolton Museum when I was recording an artefact within their collection he has remained within Greater Manchester and  is now working within heritage. What are you doing now? I completed an undergraduate Archaeology degree at UoM, with a focus on British Prehistory and graduated in 2008. I went on to do a Masters in Landscape Archaeology at Sheffield in 2010-12 whilst already working within Bolton museum. Currently I’m Collections Access Officer (curator) for Archaeology, Egyptology and World Cultures at Bolton Library and Museum Services. At the moment I’m working on a multi-million pound redevelopment of the museum and the #BoltonsEgypt project, curating the new Ancient Egypt galleries which are due to open later in 2018. Aside to that I’m also working on a redisplay of Bolton’s local archaeology, inserting prehistory into the local timeline displays. I also get to keep my hand in with a bit of practical archaeology when doing watching briefs for the council for any work at our two historic medieval halls; Hall I’th’Wood and Smithills Hall. Outside of work I am Chair of Bolton Archaeology and Egyptology Society, and on the committee for Wigan Archaeological Society, the Council for British Archaeology North West and the NW Industrial Archaeology Panel. At weekends I’m also Leader of Greater Manchester Young Archaeologists Club. What is the best bit about your job? For me I think there are 2 best best bits (out of many!): Creative freedom â€" Working with some absolutely amazing collections, as well as a bunch of super passionate people curating them, means that it doesn’t take much to get the creative juices flowing. I’m lucky that as a team we are respected enough to have the freedom to be creative, meaning we can interpret the collections in new and interesting ways. The public â€" I absolutely love working with the public. Engagement is a big part of my job, the Collections Access Officer title has replaced the old curator title at Bolton. I think the reason I love working in museums stems from my love to teach (I was training as a Primary teacher before switching to archaeology). What is the worst aspect! Having creative freedom in a job does mean that self-imposed goals can sometimes be a little demanding. At times I might bite off a bit more than I can chew in one 7 hour day, and I’m a bit of a perfectionist… so 2am in-bed exhibition designing is all too commonplace! However, I love my job and I’m really passionate about it, so I can’t really say there are too many bad bits! How well did UoM prepare you for your current role? I never actually wanted to work in museums… I originally wanted to be a commercial archaeologist. Being at Manchester led me down a different path, one which I never looked back on. Parts of the course which were based in The Manchester Museum opened my eyes to a career in museums, and the ability to volunteer in museums was a big part of it too. The Manchester course was crucial, with just the right balance of theoretical archaeology and material culture studies, paving the way for me to interpret the collections I now work with. What was the most valuable aspect of your education to you? Again I’m indecisive… The two most valuable aspects to me were: Direction without restriction â€"Manchester (and later Sheffield) helped direct my learning, but with enough freedom to direct part of it myself. Access to knowledge â€" the biggie for me was being taught by (and continue to work with) some absolute archaeological legends. The knowledge and support I gained from the lecturers really did underpin my career development. I’m totally indebted to Dr Chantal Conneller, Dr Mel Giles, Dr Elizabeth Healey and Dr Hannah Cobb (plus many more!), without them I would have found it much more difficult to develop as an archaeologist. What is the most important advice you would give to a younger you wanting to work in archaeology? Do, do, DO! I think we’d all agree in an ideal world we would all love to see archaeology be regarded as important a job as teaching or healthcare. In reality though, given today’s financial and political climate, that isn’t going to happen any time soon. Get involved. If you’re passionate then channel that passion into the things that you’re interested in. Join clubs and societies. Volunteer at museums or with archaeological companies. Don’t be afraid to shout about what you do (without being irritating!). If you’re good at it then let people know. You have to make people aware of what you do, and I think that’s a major way to succeed in the sector â€" particularly museums. Jobs in archaeology and museums are not that easy to come by, but they are available with hard work and determination, and the job satisfaction at the end of it makes it all worth it!

3 Things You Didnt Know About Tattooing

3 Things You Didnt Know About Tattooing In the last couple decades, tattooing has gone mainstream.  What used to be found on the forearms of either veterans or bikers is now even common on . . . oh, yes . . . your Mom and Dad!   Some pretty mild, and some are crazy wild.  But all that is only a part of the world of tattooing.  Its not all just for adornment.    Heres some historical info on tats, as theyre sometimes called, that you probably didnt know. Badges of Honor Today some tattoos are worn by groups or gangs to show affiliation with the group.  That didnt start with the Hells Angels.  Early sailors were adorned with tattoos that represented such things as rank, battles of engagement, or where they had journeyed or served. Butterfly Art Barbie If you were among the most of us who had Barbies as a kid, you might be able to gauge how liberal or conservative your parents were on this one.  Was Butterfly Art Barbie among your collection?  It was only on the shelf for a short time before being pulled by the manufacturer, and of course there was a Butterfly Art Ken, too. Early Tattooing Collectibles When you go in to get a tattoo today, youll (hopefully!) see the the latest technology in tattooing equipment.  Like everything else, its a far cry from the early days of the tattoo artists tools  But those early tools are very sought after collectibles.  Some of the classic tattoo guns can have values of several thousand dollars or even more. Tattooing Present Day Coming back to the present day, there are some things going on in the world of tattoos you may not be aware of.  Of course, youve heard about cosmetic tattoo work.  Thats been around for a while, and lets you get semi-permanent makeup, including eye liner, brows, and even lip liner and color.  But theres also another even more technical area of tattooing. If youve had surgery and have scars from it, there are tattoo specialists who work in restorative tattoo art that is nothing short of masterful.  With the ability to make scars disappear and even simulate nipples for post-mastectomy patients, they offer a new hope to clients who in the past had few or no options. Insights From A Master I recently had the opportunity to toss a few questions to Jay Blondel, or Gentle Jay as hes popularly known.  Heres a few of his responses: 1.   How did you get the name Gentle Jay?  I got the name Gentle Jay when I was tattooing an older guy who  had himself been tattooing for over 20 years. He made fun of me for being so light  with the needle and said my work wouldnt stay because I wasnt going deep enough. He started calling me names like feather fingers and then  Gentle Jay popped out of his mouth and everybody laughed and that was it.  Needless to say his tattoo stayed fine and has never needed to be recolored. 2.   What do you see as the biggest changes in the tattoo business over the last 15 years?   How has that been good for the customers? There are more tattoo artists now, not tattooers. Huge difference.  Tattooers just follow outlines and shade and color what has already been  drawn by someone else. Much like a copy machine. Whereas a tattoo artist  creates his own images and has the ability to do it without even a stencil  sometimes. This makes for more artistic and personal tattoos for customers. This is great for clients since theyre less likely to  inadvertently  get the same tattoo as someone else.   3. Where do you see the future of tattoos going?   With seemingly everything evolving with technology, whats out there in the coming years? The limits are constantly being pushed. I think well see the quality  of the art and subject matter continue to develop.Things that havent  been done before will be suddenly possible similar to what weve seen with realism developing into hyper-realism. Artists will constantly achieve  greater and greater levels of detail in their work. 4.   The millennial generation is probably the most tattooed of any.   How much do you think that will affect the tattoo removal business in years to come?   Or will we just see a lot of interesting, fading tats in the old folks homes?  I dont think either is the case.  Many people who get tattoos work closely with the artist to choose an image that means something to them.  More likely, they will live happily ever after with their decision to permanently put something beautiful on their bodies. 5. The niche tattoo area Im thinking coverups, paramedical tattooing, and cosmetic tattooing.  How much have you ventured into those areas and how much growth do you see in them in the years ahead? Ive done tattooing for breast cancer survivors and worked on surgical  scars. I wont do cosmetic tattoos because makeup its not my thing. I  think there will be a huge amount of growth in those areas as people see  what is possible with the right tattoo artist. Image credit: Main

6 Urban Working Spots for Every Digital Nomad CareerMetis.com

6 Urban Working Spots for Every Digital Nomad â€" CareerMetis.com Photo Credit â€" Pexels.comAs our lifestyle develops along with the advancements of technology, the attitude towards workingâ€"especially in an officeâ€"has changed on both the employer and the employee’s side. A cult of office life has been around for a while, and trends have come and gone within its lifespan. However, in an age driven by speed and movement, remote working is the new direction we see becoming more and more of a common path.To be a “digital nomad” means to work from wherever you want, whenever you want, without being tied to a desk or having to spend hours of your precious time going to and from work. The trend took off as more and more people started working from home, designing a room as a home office where they could be productive. But as appealing as this might have been, some people are now starting to get tired of working at home, finding it difficult to focus on their tasks with so many distractions around.Of course, there are simple steps you can take t owards creating a home office that inspires you to work, but there are other options for those who like to work remotely. Naturally, the first one that comes to mind is a coffee shop, popularized by the many students and remote workers taking their work to these cozy, coffee-fragrant spots. However, coffee shops are losing their appeal as remote offices, as they get more crowded and less friendly.evalSo, if you’re tired of working at home and you can’t work in a coffee shop anymore, what other options are there? Well, let’s go for a stroll through the city and see what we can find.1. Public or private librariesevalLibraries are quiet places, with outlets and Wi-Fi, where you will be surrounded by people who are studying or working. Walls and walls of books will boost your focus, and if you find a beautiful corner or window desk where you can work in quietude, you’ll be surprised by how fast you’re burning through the tasks.Whether you go for a public or private library, th ey all provide excellent resources, not just books but also extensive databases with a lot of useful information. Depending on your field, you can use them to perfect your work.2. Hotel lobbiesYou should not feel like an intruder anywhere; you don’t have to stay in a hotel to use their lobby. They have amazingly comfortable chairs, free Wi-Fi, and you can order coffee or tea and enjoy a boost in productivity. Some lobbies play nice background music that will mask the noise of the coming and going of guests. If you are the type of person who works well in the middle of the action, a hotel lobby is an excellent place for you.A benefit of this location is that you can set up business meetings here, and have discussions without worrying about disturbing other peopleâ€"such as in a library. However, you should check if there is a closing time after which the lobby or the restaurant is only open to hotel guests.3. POPSPrivately owned public spacesâ€"or POPSâ€"are required by law to be o pen to the public. These properties are mostly parks, plazas, or atriums and they are ideal for remote working, with a lot of natural light and plenty of greenery for restful working time. However, most of these locations don’t have outlets, so your working time will be limited by your laptop’s battery life.4. MuseumsevalPlenty of museums have atriums or open gardens with chairs, benches, and tables where you can set up a nice mini-office. Embrace the artistic lifestyle and join a community of art and culture where you will find your inspiration and motivation to do your job. You may find interesting people to have a conversation with when you need a break to fuel your creativity.eval5. Social or sports clubsIf you are a member of a club, ask around for office space. Most of them have nice, quiet rooms with Wi-Fi. You’ll be close to fitness centers in case you want to take a break and hop on a treadmill, and some serve coffee, smoothies, and snacks. Clubs tend to be exclusive to members, and you should take advantage of every space they offer. A big plus is that it’s probably going to be quiet and relaxing since not a lot of people will crowd the place.6. OutdoorsevalThere’s no better focus booster than nature. Being outdoors in the fresh air will oxygenate your brain and get those juices flowing. No matter the place, you can go and work outside for one or two hours. Charge your devices, grab a coffee, and lie down under a tree or sit on a bench in the park. The greenery will help your eyes rest and reduce fatigue while connecting with nature will make you more relaxed and happy.A few words of advice to make you more productiveIf none of these places spark your interest, you can always find a co-working hub where you can rent an office. Everyone works differently so the best thing to do is to personalize every spot you work in or create the working environment in which you will perform best. Come up with a routine that includes coffee breaks, snacks, and pauses for relaxing your eyes. Come back to your work after a quick walk with a fresh perspective and catch your own mistakes before anyone else can. Working remotely allows for these kinds of breaks in your schedule, and it eventually leads to a healthier life- and workstyle.Being a digital nomad has numerous benefits, but it can also be tricky if you don’t know how to manage your time. Be honest with yourself and act as your boss, creating a schedule and keeping track of your tasks. Try out more places, see where you fit best, and alternate between them regularly so you won’t get bored. Try to learn continually and own the lifestyle you chose when you decided to work remotely.
