The Greatest Secret of Billionaires, 95 Year Old Attorneys, and the Retirement Myth
By: Harrison Barnes


EmploymentScape Chief Executive Officer, Harrison Barnes discusses the success mantra of billionaires and how you can adopt it to become successful.

Harrison points out the fact that despite old age, business tycoons continue working. They do so because work gives their lives meaning. He gives examples of top-notch billionaires, including Warren Buffet, Kirk Kerkorian, Bill Gates, Summer Redstone, and Donald Trump, who show no signs of retirement. None of these people stopped working when they got rich or old. This is because they love working and are committed to it.

Harrison believes that the most people out there are successful not because they are smarter than you; they are successful because they love what they are doing. Similarly, to become successful, you should not separate work from pleasure; instead you should merge them and enjoy what you do immensely.

Harrison cites an example of a 90-plus year old attorney who helped him settle a case, and believes that even in your mid-90’s you can do great work. He concludes that if you are not doing something you can imagine yourself doing in your mid-90’s, then you are probably in the wrong profession.

Forbes Reports 151,352 Layoffs for January Itself; Employment Authority Proposes Alternative Job Search Approach

Pasadena, CA — According to a compilation by Forbes recently, there were 151,352 layoffs at America’s 500 largest public companies in the month of January. MORE


"There are always vacancies. Organizations are born, organizations expand, workers become restless, quit, change jobs, move, become ill long-term, or become handicapped, retire, or die. There are always jobs out there waiting to be filled. The fact that you can't find those jobs only means the vacancy hasn't been advertised, or you're not using the right method to find it. When the Internet or job-postings, or agencies, or ads, or resumes, don't work, there are other ways of turning up the job you want. So, if you're coming up 'empty,' you need to change the search method you've been using. ... To speed up your search for one of the jobs that are out there, go after many different organizations, instead of just one or two."

I complement your writing staff as that process went very smoothly. I'm happy with the cover letter and revisions made to my resume. The search has returned what I hope to be some promising leads.
