For workers and job seekers: has this screenshot become your life, or are you afraid it soon will be? AI has taken many jobs, but it can never replace all of them. My advice: think small. I will write more about this in the future.

For business owners: Do you now need to use AI? No. A resounding no, for as resounding as a Scandinavian Lutheran from MN can get. If you’re profitable & happy with things, AI doesn’t need to answer your phones. You do however, watch for yourself on social media: keep that watch because anyone can say anything. I will write about this more in upcoming posts.

Home jobs. Years before covid I wrote an article stating only about 20% of people thrive working from home. 20% can’t do it. The other 60% are in the middle. The amount and types of home jobs have exploded and keep growing. I am thankful they’ve opened the workforce. But I haven’t changed my belief. Home jobs can be extremely difficult. Millions in offices everywhere dream of ditching commuter traffic and uncomfortable clothes. Please research. #1: scam jobs abound. #2: Know your personality and home environment. Would you care if your house was a total mess, while sitting around, “doing nothing?” Could a dog or kid interrupt a zoom meeting? Would it be hard not to go for a run or go shopping; could you feel locked inside, never leaving your job and feel lonely; do you work better in a collaborative environment? Would you be tempted to wear PJs 24/7, lose normal energy and get lost in scrolling or watching YouTube videos or birds outside? That’s me. Now working from home I get dressed immediately, make my bed, brush my teeth, take exercise breaks, separate work and home and keep a schedule. I quickly attend to the dog and quickly get back to a project without losing focus. It’s a daily issue. I don’t expect it to change as long as I work from home, especially as a mom with household duties and activities. Maybe I will get an office someday. But meanwhile, rent savings and tax breaks of a home office are so nice.

For those of you with a ton of school books, old conference materials, etc., sitting in bins or on bookshelves…I got rid of probably 90% from school and old workplaces. Just kept professional documents, certificates, diplomas, awards, and portfolio. After a month, my business has not suffered. I feel better and can find items.

I put this on my personal FB too. Lots of geese, fantastic sunset, flying in to open water and chatting, telling their buddies they are glad to see them again, wondering what happened over the winter!😀

It’s MN March Madness (blizzard). Small businesses-it’s OK to close. Write it on all social media platforms and send emails and voicemails. See if a local news station will add it. Be safe!

Smart MN small businesses: where to start? I want to say take a business as usual approach. But if out of state clients are leaving because they think you an ICE protester, maybe put a pro American statement on your website or send an email.

Job seekers: You have to remember (and I have said this before), potential employers WILL google you. They will do a full social media search, including places like TikTok and YouTube, eBay and more. It’s easy to find who wrote Anonymous posts and comments. So watch 100% of your sm presence like a hawk. Google yourself. Business owners need to do the same. Make sure there’s nothing bad.

Business owners, job seekers, everyone: Christmas is meant to celebrate Jesus’s birth. If the money isn’t there this year, it isn’t. Don’t max credit cards or take from your 401K to buy $100 gifts (even if ones are coming from them) or host an A plus party just because you always do. A woman just gave me a birthday present and I cried; it was a pen, notebook and card that she wrote out. It wasn’t the items, it was the love. Pray, ask God for the best gift, and maybe cut down some wood, make a recipe kit, give certificates to personally give massages, clean houses, shovel driveways, do laundry, etc., Get items from the dollar store or make things. Give them homemade canned foods, baked goods, meals, maple syrup, laundry detergents, soaps, or more. Maybe meat, fish or eggs you brought in. Volunteer together. Go caroling and have hot chocolate afterwards. Your time, love, experiences and help are worth more than money.

Job seekers and small businesses (and everyone): The best gifts you can give is your time and love and take care of yourself during the upcoming holidays. A woman gave me a pen on my birthday and I cried because it was heartfelt. Do not take out a 2nd mortgage to buy gifts! You don’t need to have major parties, buy a $100 tree, donate to everyone asking, and bring your masterpiece food to events, even if you have done it before. If the money’s not there it’s not. Instead, go caroling, visit with lonely people, give cards, and remember Thanksgiving is to give thanks, and Christmas is to celebrate Jesus’s birthday.
