Why Work Hard for Our Money? August 8, 2021 bizadmin OUR fortunes have nosedived as this cursed pandemic continues to rob us of our income, security, health, peace of mind, freedom, and far worse, family and friends. Times are tough, and life is unpredictable. Sigh! Intriguingly, when we toss both facts — times are bad and we’re a short-lived species — into the “washer-dryer of our minds,” three truths tumble out: We need to work hard for our money; We need to work longer for our money; and We’d better love our work because we’ll be doing it for a long time. WORK HARD Historian Francis Parkman wrote: “He who would do some great things in this short life must apply himself to work with such a concentration of force that, to idle spectators who live only to amuse themselves, looks like insanity.” Even in the best of times, hard work is the primary prerequisite for a productive life of purpose. And, as you well know, now is not a spectacular time. In a July 21 briefing note on Covid-19 published by consulting giant McKinsey and Company, it was estimated that by 2025, the pandemic would have cost the world between US$16 trillion and US$35 trillion. I take that to be the estimated range of lost aggregate planetary gross domestic product. Well, with the world now carrying just under 7.9 billion people and assuming that rises to over 8.1 billion in 2025, the average human population over the next four years will be eight billion. If I were then to select a reasonable number between US$16 trillion and US$35 trillion, I’d be inclined — in the interest of simplifying my back-of-envelope analysis — to choose US$24 trillion in total lost global GDP. Note: US$24 trillion divided by eight billion people comes to US$3,000 of lost GDP per person from the start of the pandemic till 2025. However, given the income devastation and business Armageddon we’ve experienced and observed, that dollar amount seems low to me. But if we presume economies and personal incomes bounce up with a vengeance from 2023 onward, then perhaps US$3,000 is right. While some commentators use per capita GDP as a proxy for per capita income, that isn’t quite right. I won’t bother explaining the differences here. What I will say is — both in total and therefore also on average — the Covid-19 pandemic has made our planet and the average person on it poorer. Therefore, if we wish to buck that downward trend personally, we will have to work harder (and, of course, smarter) than we’ve ever worked before to stay abreast of our pre-pandemic selves. And if our goal is actually to get ahead, we’ll need to work much harder. WORK LONG In addition to working more intensely per unit time, most of us will likely need to bid adieu to the norm of holding merely one job that we work for 40 hours a week. More of us will have to tack on extra part-time work or even try to juggle two full-time positions to boost our working hours per week up into the stratospheric 50 to 90 range. I know this isn’t what anyone wishes to hear, but it’s how our lives will change over the next few years as we thumb our noses at the SARS-CoV-2 virus that has stolen too much from us, and as we declare we’ll do what we must to bolster our finances and buttress our careers. It will be hard. But committing long hours in significant work has therapeutic value, at least according to Charles Evans Hughes, the 11th Chief Justice of the United States from 1930 to 1941. He said, “I believe in work, hard work, and long hours of work. Men do not break down from overwork but from worry and dissipation.” Yet if we’re going to work harder and longer than ever, we’d be also better… LOVE OUR WORK Remember, our mortal years are brief. If we’re going to toil throughout our prime decades to get by in the world, we owe it to ourselves to navigate the jagged reefs of boredom into the bright, intriguing, compelling harbors of fascination. Novelist Mark Twain once observed: “The law of work does seem utterly unfair — but there it is, and nothing can change it; the higher the pay in enjoyment the worker gets out of it, the higher shall be his pay in money also.” So, throughout this season of WFH (work-from-home), do mull deeply — aided by your pen on paper in a journal of dreams that you keep private — on how you may ramp up your income or revenue-generating activities over the next few years as you pursue a higher income so you may save and invest aggressively for your delayed season of blissful retirement.

The way that progress can truly be made for any critical movement requires attention all throughout the year. So, think about it: When did you last host or attend an event related to diversity, inclusion, and fairness, or discuss your business’s stance on women’s equality in the workplace? If the last memory that pops into your mind was March 2018, consider this list your new priority. Another reason to prioritize the matter is the fact that diverse organizations are more successful as they leverage innovation and multiple viewpoints, and are more reflective of their actual customers. So keep reading to discover how your business can make a difference and why they should, in the strive towards gender equality, in the future of your work culture, and in the career paths of all of your female employees, every single day – including March 8th. 01. Connect women with female mentors Sharing stories and experiences has always been one of the most effective ways to change minds and provoke action. That’s why pairing up women with strong female role models is one of the many ways to empower your employees to succeed in both your company and their industries. For example, if a woman is just starting out in her career, connecting her with more experienced figures who are already established in their professions – such as women entrepreneurs and other female leadership roles – could be beneficial in helping her define her career path. Another benefit of a strong mentor-mentee connection is building your female employees’ confidence in their ability to thrive in their profession. This is particularly crucial if the work environment is mostly male dominated – looking up to females holding senior roles can contribute to their confidence towards earning and claiming those higher up, influential positions. 02. Remind women that they are valued Oftentimes, women in predominantly male workplaces feel intimidated to voice their opinions, for fear of coming off as too outspoken. The opposite also holds true, where they might try to act like “one of the men” just to get their views heard. This is why it’s important to remind women that they are respected for who they are and that you hired them for their own unique perspective, skills, dedication, and strong work ethic. Although it might seem obvious to you, you have no idea how someone else feels unless you’re in their shoes. Even if you’re also a female employee, you don’t know how a coworker internally processes situations and what they’ve encountered personally. So, do your best to be compassionate and honest with how you feel about every woman’s performance. There are multiple ways that your business can implement these values. The first step is bias training and awareness, as you won’t know what you’re doing wrong until you confront your actions head on. Next, you can promote a safe environment where everyone can voice their concerns and challenges, as well as know who to turn to for help. Finally, promote dedicated activities or training for women, like public speaking events, negotiations, and focus/support groups. Ideally you should offer these opportunities to all minorities, so that everyone can feel empowered to flourish at work for who they are. 03. Accommodate all of your workers’ personal needs True fact: Your employees have lives outside of your workplace. Whether theirs include family-related priorities or other extracurriculars, it’s important to encourage them to pursue these needs and interests – no matter what gender they identify with. For example, allow parents to leave early when necessary, offer competitive parental leave, and support the overall work-life balance of your coworkers with flexibility wherever you can. By enabling your employees to tend to the many demands and desires in their lives, they will be able to thrive personally. In turn, they will be more grateful to work for your company, hence increasing their loyalty and productivity. You can even go above and beyond just encouraging it, but rather being proactive about it. At Wix, we not only send out company-wide emails celebrating every new parent, but we also organize family days of festivities and picnics. In addition to family, we occasionally have guest professionals come in to discuss everything from financials (buying a house, investing, etc.) to hosting happy hours, craft events, and game nights. The way we see it, the more fun and flexibility you can offer your employees, the more enthusiastic they will be when it comes to caring about their job’s responsibilities and relationships with coworkers – making everyone happier. 04. Volunteer for women-related causes Women are highly underrepresented in many sectors of the workplace. For example, women in technology account for only 20% of the jobs – and the situation is not getting any better with the years. Certainly, hiring an equal gender employee force is one way to make a difference. At Wix, we are proud to share our most recent statistics, which shows that women represent 41% of our total employees and make up 38% of our management team. Another way you can actively do so on a regular basis is by getting involved with volunteer opportunities for women-related causes. Ask around your local network to figure out the most valuable places where you can invest your time, i.e, Hackathons aimed at women, meetups, speaker events, etc. A powerful initiative we’ve taken on at Wix is our very own Women in Tech forum. It was started by two strong leaders at our company, Aviva Peisach (Wix Backend Engineering Manager) and Moran Weber (Senior FEB Developer at Wix Academy). The forum hosts monthly meetings aimed at diversity, women’s empowerment and technology. This goal is achieved through guest speakers – typically senior women in the tech world – who share their knowledge, expertise and obstacles they’ve overcome throughout their professions. Along with this, there are also panels covering everything from interviews and self-branding to mentoring, and career paths. It’s open to the general public, both men and women, to encourage its purpose: we can only solve things if we work together. With a humble goal of changing the world (or at least increasing diversity in the high-tech realm) this initiative creates a community for collaborations as well as letting women know that they are not alone in their journeys. Different feedback we’ve received has helped us realize how much of a difference we’re truly making with this forum. Women who attended felt like they were able to overcome a confidence gap, realizing their full potential as leaders, team players, and negotiators. However, it surprisingly has gone far beyond that. More often than not, women aren’t just coming to learn new skills, but rather asking how they can pay it forward and help others – a question which arises almost immediately after attending an event. 05. Support International Women’s Day Of course, you should respect and empower women in the workplace every single day. In addition to that, it’s also important to honor the one day each year dedicated to a push for women’s rights – and this is a push for everyone, not just women. Therefore, all genders in your company should be welcomed to participate in the day’s events. For example, if your employees want to take off a morning to join a march, show your respect by allowing it, without question. It’s also possible to be proactive, by hosting events or giving away branded items for the day – something worth more than just a positive PR-move, but a humble acceptance towards all of your employees and their worth at your company. At Wix, we’ve made sure to make International Women’s Day a priority for us. Throughout the year, we work on empowering all of our employees and users (business owners, artists, designers, influencers, agencies, and more). Yet this day, we do something a little extra. We’re hoping what we did in the past and what we do this year will inspire your business too. Two years ago for IWD 2017 we passed out T-shirts which said “these boots were made for leading” to honor the day and our late, beloved Head of Community and PR, Vered Avrahami. Not only did she love to strut her boots, but she was a powerful and inspiring woman who believed in equality for all – and we do too. So for IWD 2018, we wanted to continue that strive for empowerment and acceptance. Of course we made shirts (with the words “GRL PWR”), but that wasn’t all. We also had an amazing Wix user, Sara George Durhman speak about her path as a self made-entrepreneur, single mother of five, and running her own web design agency. Her vision to create and build her business and a better world was truly an inspiration that afternoon. This year, we plan on making the event even more inclusive. We thought hard about a t-shirt design in order to get it just right. Printed on the front: “Nobody does it better #thinkequal” – a phrase everyone, no matter what gender they are, can relate to. We’re bringing the company together for one big event, where we will be honoring equality among our Wix employees and their work environments – from San Francisco to Tel Aviv to Kiev, and beyond. At the event we will have guest speaker and Wix user, Maresa Friedman, talk about her journey as an independent business woman, strategic advisor, speaker, wife and mother from San Diego. So, maybe your company will make t-shirts, maybe they will march together, or maybe you will just create a social post honoring your talented employees. Whatever you do, do it from your heart, and remember the great brains that got you to where you are today.

By Jennifer Kaplan Community Writer Here’s How Seniors are Making Extra Money: Top 7 Part-Time Jobs April 10, 2019 bizadmin According to a recent employment analysis by the Pew Research Center, almost 8 million Americans aged 65 and older are still employed either full or part-time. In the year 2000, the number of seniors employed then were only about 4 million, so it’s already double in less than 2 decades. While the increasing employment rate among seniors may be attributed to financial reasons, non-financial reasons include avoiding boredom, to feel productive, to continue interacting with people, and to learn new things, among many others. For these reasons, senior employees are in the highest demand ever and they’re actually finding great jobs when they look in the right places. If you are one of the many older individuals who want to continue working, you may want to consider taking on any of the following part-time jobs so you can continue working while having enough time to do other things as well. Consultant If you have specialized skills or experience that not many people have, especially in a particular industry, you can try working as a consultant. You can start by contacting your former employer or other companies that would be interested in the skills that you possess. As a consultant, your working hours and arrangements would be flexible for as long as you can deliver results. Uber or Lyft Driver Need the most flexible of part-time jobs? Try becoming a driver for a ride-share company like Lyft or Uber. It’s a position with decent pay and the perk of setting your own schedule. The average wage for a single ride, according to Money Magazine, is $11. Bartender Bartenders can actually make a sizable salary off their part-time shifts, and bars are increasingly hiring social seniors to help behind the bar. On top of that hourly rate, bartenders earn tips. These tips can raise your hourly earnings to as much as $20 to $25 per hour, making this part-time job perfect for those who need to earn a lot during short shifts. Instructor, Teaching Assistant, or Tutor If you have spent most of your years in the education sector and the feeling of being around and teaching the younger generation energizes you more than anything, you should consider taking part-time work as an instructor, teaching assistant, or private tutor. Older individuals can share their years of wisdom and life experience — and knowledge if you formerly specialized in a field — to help others learn something new. All these things encourage them to find many employment opportunities even as senior citizens. Childcare Services Provider One of the most lucrative jobs that you can do, especially if you enjoy taking care of kids, is childcare services. There are undoubtedly tons of families in your circle alone who are regularly in need of people who can babysit their kids. You can even consider offering daily childcare services in your home at certain hours of the day if you don’t want the hassle of staying in someone else’s house. Customer Service Representative Customer service jobs are always in demand and one of the best perks is that you can do this job at the convenience of your own home. For as long as you are patient, have good verbal communication skills, and able to calmly talk with people regardless of their mood and tone, then a CSR job is worth considering. Dog Walker If spending time with dogs while getting needed exercise is something that interests you, then you should consider being a professional dog walker. Dog walking is undoubtedly one of the most popular careers that were practically non-existent before. The level of pay is very attractive and if you walk several dogs at once and you live in a large city like New York, dog walkers can actually make up to $110,000 a year according to MarketWatch. Not too bad for a part-time job! 6 Ways to Make Money while you Sleep April 8, 2019 bizadmin Best Ways To Make Money While Sleeping: 1.

This is particularly crucial if the work environment is mostly male dominated – looking up to females holding senior roles can contribute to their confidence towards earning and claiming those higher up, influential positions. 02. Remind women that they are valued Oftentimes, women in predominantly male workplaces feel intimidated to voice their opinions, for fear of coming off as too outspoken. The opposite also holds true, where they might try to act like “one of the men” just to get their views heard. This is why it’s important to remind women that they are respected for who they are and that you hired them for their own unique perspective, skills, dedication, and strong work ethic. Although it might seem obvious to you, you have no idea how someone else feels unless you’re in their shoes. Even if you’re also a female employee, you don’t know how a coworker internally processes situations and what they’ve encountered personally. So, do your best to be compassionate and honest with how you feel about every woman’s performance. There are multiple ways that your business can implement these values. The first step is bias training and awareness, as you won’t know what you’re doing wrong until you confront your actions head on. Next, you can promote a safe environment where everyone can voice their concerns and challenges, as well as know who to turn to for help. Finally, promote dedicated activities or training for women, like public speaking events, negotiations, and focus/support groups. Ideally you should offer these opportunities to all minorities, so that everyone can feel empowered to flourish at work for who they are. 03. Accommodate all of your workers’ personal needs True fact: Your employees have lives outside of your workplace. Whether theirs include family-related priorities or other extracurriculars, it’s important to encourage them to pursue these needs and interests – no matter what gender they identify with. For example, allow parents to leave early when necessary, offer competitive parental leave, and support the overall work-life balance of your coworkers with flexibility wherever you can. By enabling your employees to tend to the many demands and desires in their lives, they will be able to thrive personally. In turn, they will be more grateful to work for your company, hence increasing their loyalty and productivity. You can even go above and beyond just encouraging it, but rather being proactive about it. At Wix, we not only send out company-wide emails celebrating every new parent, but we also organize family days of festivities and picnics. In addition to family, we occasionally have guest professionals come in to discuss everything from financials (buying a house, investing, etc.) to hosting happy hours, craft events, and game nights. The way we see it, the more fun and flexibility you can offer your employees, the more enthusiastic they will be when it comes to caring about their job’s responsibilities and relationships with coworkers – making everyone happier. 04. Volunteer for women-related causes Women are highly underrepresented in many sectors of the workplace. For example, women in technology account for only 20% of the jobs – and the situation is not getting any better with the years. Certainly, hiring an equal gender employee force is one way to make a difference. At Wix, we are proud to share our most recent statistics, which shows that women represent 41% of our total employees and make up 38% of our management team. Another way you can actively do so on a regular basis is by getting involved with volunteer opportunities for women-related causes. Ask around your local network to figure out the most valuable places where you can invest your time, i.e, Hackathons aimed at women, meetups, speaker events, etc. A powerful initiative we’ve taken on at Wix is our very own Women in Tech forum. It was started by two strong leaders at our company, Aviva Peisach (Wix Backend Engineering Manager) and Moran Weber (Senior FEB Developer at Wix Academy). The forum hosts monthly meetings aimed at diversity, women’s empowerment and technology. This goal is achieved through guest speakers – typically senior women in the tech world – who share their knowledge, expertise and obstacles they’ve overcome throughout their professions. Along with this, there are also panels covering everything from interviews and self-branding to mentoring, and career paths. It’s open to the general public, both men and women, to encourage its purpose: we can only solve things if we work together. With a humble goal of changing the world (or at least increasing diversity in the high-tech realm) this initiative creates a community for collaborations as well as letting women know that they are not alone in their journeys. Different feedback we’ve received has helped us realize how much of a difference we’re truly making with this forum. Women who attended felt like they were able to overcome a confidence gap, realizing their full potential as leaders, team players, and negotiators. However, it surprisingly has gone far beyond that. More often than not, women aren’t just coming to learn new skills, but rather asking how they can pay it forward and help others – a question which arises almost immediately after attending an event. 05. Support International Women’s Day Of course, you should respect and empower women in the workplace every single day. In addition to that, it’s also important to honor the one day each year dedicated to a push for women’s rights – and this is a push for everyone, not just women. Therefore, all genders in your company should be welcomed to participate in the day’s events. For example, if your employees want to take off a morning to join a march, show your respect by allowing it, without question. It’s also possible to be proactive, by hosting events or giving away branded items for the day – something worth more than just a positive PR-move, but a humble acceptance towards all of your employees and their worth at your company. At Wix, we’ve made sure to make International Women’s Day a priority for us. Throughout the year, we work on empowering all of our employees and users (business owners, artists, designers, influencers, agencies, and more). Yet this day, we do something a little extra. We’re hoping what we did in the past and what we do this year will inspire your business too. Two years ago for IWD 2017 we passed out T-shirts which said “these boots were made for leading” to honor the day and our late, beloved Head of Community and PR, Vered Avrahami. Not only did she love to strut her boots, but she was a powerful and inspiring woman who believed in equality for all – and we do too. So for IWD 2018, we wanted to continue that strive for empowerment and acceptance. Of course we made shirts (with the words “GRL PWR”), but that wasn’t all. We also had an amazing Wix user, Sara George Durhman speak about her path as a self made-entrepreneur, single mother of five, and running her own web design agency. Her vision to create and build her business and a better world was truly an inspiration that afternoon. This year, we plan on making the event even more inclusive. We thought hard about a t-shirt design in order to get it just right. Printed on the front: “Nobody does it better #thinkequal” – a phrase everyone, no matter what gender they are, can relate to. We’re bringing the company together for one big event, where we will be honoring equality among our Wix employees and their work environments – from San Francisco to Tel Aviv to Kiev, and beyond. At the event we will have guest speaker and Wix user, Maresa Friedman, talk about her journey as an independent business woman, strategic advisor, speaker, wife and mother from San Diego. So, maybe your company will make t-shirts, maybe they will march together, or maybe you will just create a social post honoring your talented employees. Whatever you do, do it from your heart, and remember the great brains that got you to where you are today.

Here’s How Seniors are Making Extra Money: Top 7 Part-Time Jobs April 10, 2019 bizadmin According to a recent employment analysis by the Pew Research Center, almost 8 million Americans aged 65 and older are still employed either full or part-time. In the year 2000, the number of seniors employed then were only about 4 million, so it’s already double in less than 2 decades. While the increasing employment rate among seniors may be attributed to financial reasons, non-financial reasons include avoiding boredom, to feel productive, to continue interacting with people, and to learn new things, among many others. For these reasons, senior employees are in the highest demand ever and they’re actually finding great jobs when they look in the right places. If you are one of the many older individuals who want to continue working, you may want to consider taking on any of the following part-time jobs so you can continue working while having enough time to do other things as well. Consultant If you have specialized skills or experience that not many people have, especially in a particular industry, you can try working as a consultant. You can start by contacting your former employer or other companies that would be interested in the skills that you possess. As a consultant, your working hours and arrangements would be flexible for as long as you can deliver results. Uber or Lyft Driver Need the most flexible of part-time jobs? Try becoming a driver for a ride-share company like Lyft or Uber. It’s a position with decent pay and the perk of setting your own schedule. The average wage for a single ride, according to Money Magazine, is $11. Bartender Bartenders can actually make a sizable salary off their part-time shifts, and bars are increasingly hiring social seniors to help behind the bar. On top of that hourly rate, bartenders earn tips. These tips can raise your hourly earnings to as much as $20 to $25 per hour, making this part-time job perfect for those who need to earn a lot during short shifts. Instructor, Teaching Assistant, or Tutor If you have spent most of your years in the education sector and the feeling of being around and teaching the younger generation energizes you more than anything, you should consider taking part-time work as an instructor, teaching assistant, or private tutor. Older individuals can share their years of wisdom and life experience — and knowledge if you formerly specialized in a field — to help others learn something new. All these things encourage them to find many employment opportunities even as senior citizens. Childcare Services Provider One of the most lucrative jobs that you can do, especially if you enjoy taking care of kids, is childcare services. There are undoubtedly tons of families in your circle alone who are regularly in need of people who can babysit their kids. You can even consider offering daily childcare services in your home at certain hours of the day if you don’t want the hassle of staying in someone else’s house. Customer Service Representative Customer service jobs are always in demand and one of the best perks is that you can do this job at the convenience of your own home. For as long as you are patient, have good verbal communication skills, and able to calmly talk with people regardless of their mood and tone, then a CSR job is worth considering. Dog Walker If spending time with dogs while getting needed exercise is something that interests you, then you should consider being a professional dog walker. Dog walking is undoubtedly one of the most popular careers that were practically non-existent before. The level of pay is very attractive and if you walk several dogs at once and you live in a large city like New York, dog walkers can actually make up to $110,000 a year according to MarketWatch. Not too bad for a part-time job!
