I have an idea, an idea that will make us all better if we follow through and make our voices heard. Many of us are “independents”—we are toy makers, writers, designers (hint! hint!), accountants, etc., and we all have a skill, trade, or profession that we offer. Many of us have been earning or trying to earn a living through our wares but some of us have faced layoffs, unforeseen disasters, a reduction in income or other circumstances that have created a need for us to try to make a living through alternative measures. I would like to create a blog page where you can “advertise” your skills and hopefully we can all benefit.
We all need to face the needs of our neighbor, in the
avicultural community we are a nation of many faces and skills, we need to band
together and help each other—many of us have been forced into reducing or parting
with our flocks for a variety of reasons—lets extend our hand and open our
wallets to those we share a common thread with. I want to take business away
from the “Big Box Stores” and bring it to the small independents that are
getting killed in this economic disaster.
What skill do you have? Are you willing to trade services?
Great idea, Bob. It's essential that we support the best of the best and promote them. There are so many businesses going belly up due to the recession and pets are becoming homeless. Heck, PEOPLE are becoming homeless.
ReplyDeleteNancy, thanks! I have friends that are giving services to their friends as Christmas gifts to keep others employed and working—I think it's a great idea as well.
