Look for what you do want (success, great career and abundance) instead of the doom and gloom naysayers....you get what you look for, remember that video with the guys in white and black tshirts playing ball and the gorilla who walks in the middle of it all and coz you're focusing so much on the white tshirts don't see the gorilla coz he's black? Well the job market, most things, are like that to me, focus on what you're after, not what you NOT after and life becomes pure potential! Cool. Beautiful post.

And, no doubt, you'll end up "saving" a lot of DIY jobs in the end, anyway, lol! @ B7 – No doubt, there is still a ton of opportunity…for those with the willingness to go looking

@ Angie – I was tuned into your brainwaves, lol!

@ Lisis – Hey, SOMEbody’s gotta be looking for the silver lining…and sharing it :-)

@ Ethan – great addition with the pets category, didn’t know about that.

@ Ed – great point about what happens when the sky stops falling and you’ve already laid the groundwork, you’re that much farther ahead

@ Mark – bucket brigade time!

@ Ken – Great to hear from someone else who’s a tradesman confirming what I’ve been seeing. And, no doubt, you’ll end up “saving” a lot of DIY jobs in the end, anyway, lol!

I am working on a site in this field right now. Even when things turn around all of what you mentioned will still be good opportunities.Funny thing about the DIY is I am now a tradesman and guess who they call when they can't get it to work?

Having in-depth knowledge about pet (or kid) related issues can lead to solutions that others will want as well... you just have step out of the box and go get it. Thanks again Jonathan.

Very "look on the bright-side" of you. I'm thinking (hoping, maybe) there is a great opportunity right now to help people find balance in their lives, and re-focus their priorities so they can take pleasure in the little things... although I wasn't exactly thinking: candy. Everyone wants to suffer less and find lasting happiness, right? This is a good time to get started on that project. Have a Great Day! I like your approach, Jonathan.

Ask for a neon sign from the big guy upstairs and get a blog post on the RSS reader that flashes Do It! I have been thinking towards your first option for some time now. Just haven't nailed down the logistics of building it while maintaining the other full time job. Have you explained the development of SonicYoga in any of your materials? If so, point me towards them and then let me at it. Thanks for a great post. Wow! Ask for a neon sign from the big guy upstairs and get a blog post on the RSS reader that flashes Do It!
