Being in a pinch made me realize the importance of correct financial desicions

Life is full of twists and in the mundane daily routine of a working class girl, there has to be respite from the endless exhaustive activity of trying to land a job. Frivolous purchases are now a thing of the past since I am currently in the process of saving money from lessons well learned.

Gone are the days of easy pickings and in today’s competitiess, business partner, business solutions, call center, family, offshoring, outsorcing, philippines, virtual assistants, voicevilleve marketplace; there is a ton of uncertainty in what the future holds. I have been lucky enough to get a few part time jobs that I hope will keep my afloat. I am fairly independent with my finances and although I appreciate financial help from a partner, I tend to keep myself fairly sufficient.

One such place I have worked as a temp was this medical transcription and hospital data center. I do most of the carting regarding the files to be scanned and uploaded for the next batch. Since they periodically have huge workloads, they need the temps for occasional work. I have had the pleasure of working with some really intelligent people. You do get surprised given the fact that these jobs are not exactly high end. Even so there is a certain calm feeling I get as we haul the crates of documents to the scanning room. Nothing beats late night shifts and I find them sublime to this day. Well anyway, the hospital was outsourcing their encoders and data entry staff. I guess it was to save on costs, but once we finished with the sorting. They were ready to be scanned by the next shift on the next day.

I have taken to socializing with a certain friend that I temp with. I think we have a lot in common and share similar interests and life experiences. Sipping a mocha latte outside the local Starbucks while discussing political issues is pretty refreshing compared to the usual lowbrow topics I encounter namely “who is dating who?”

Well at least having to talk about improving your situation financially will be beneficial in the long run. Being a part of the pointless banter crowd for so long has left me vapid and I am relieved to be back to reality.

“Good and Better Times”

Before, with every instance of trying to get a glimpse of what the business world truly is, I failed greatly.  Yet, what was wrong was that I was looking too far and neglecting what was essential which was absolutely unfair not only to my myself but to my customers as well.


You see, people like me who gain very little from what we do find it very hard to adjust to and cope up with the changing patterns of business approaches.  There were very significant moments in my life when I thought “Hey, what I am doing? I can just give it up and try something else, you know”.  But it is not that easy.  Considering the resources that I had back then, man it was suicide and thank god outsourcing has came to my life.  I didn't take up a business course or something like that.  I just knew the moment I stepped into business- that it was what I have always wanted.  With people who I can confidently trust to do the job for me, my life became easier and manageable.  The financial problems come and go, if you know what I mean.

 

However, investing in something that can assure the best results and incredible improvements every now and then is just what we need, especially for a small business owner like me.


If any of you are not sure at all that outsourcing is the right course of action for you, the Internet is always available and perhaps you'll change your mind.  You never know.
