Congrats for getting a copy of this work again and again. Robots have taken over jobs in factories rendered human capital needless. Answering machines and several electronic equipment in offices have sent many secretaries and related careers out of jobs. New inventions in financial and education institutions are sending millions into over saturated labour market everyday. E-learning, e-commerce, e-administration, e-tutorial, e-marking, e-security and many other uses of electronic applications are trimming the number of employees. Many electronic gadgets are reducing the number of employees across the world. In no distant future, many auto-electricians that are not versatile and creative would be thrown out of livelihood as a result of belt with chips for future wireless vehicles. Many industries are downsizing their labour force at the inception of relevant technological inventions. One can only admit that digital technology from the improvement in the knowledge of the professionals in Information and Communication Technology is a bane to unemployment. This is taking place when there is economic distress across the nations. The inventions are balancing its introduction- relief people of their jobs and possess the capability to create new entrepreneurs from those laid off. In fact, this is major in the title from the same author- JOBS WITH ZERO CAPITAL (Vol.2). With the spate of jobs loss with the introduction and advancements in technology, there is hence the dire need for the creation of new jobs. This, creating new jobs, can only be done when the entrepreneurial skills in man are discovered and nurtured with all available incentives.
In retrospect, this research-based work is an antidote to the scourge of dying businesses and eye-opener to the thousands of jobs within and outside the shores for the existing and prospective entrepreneurs, those recently relieved of their jobs under the downsizing policy of the firms cutting costs to maximize their profits or stay floating without incurring more financial losses that could lead to their liquidation. Therefore, there is no doubt the fact that the higher the technology, the higher the jobs loss and the more the need for the creation of new entrepreneurs from those that are redundant or sacked by machines and technology. For customers/clients sustainability of most technical firms, there is dire need o be more creative to produce different specifications for target markets within and beyond the shores. This is producing same product with the same technology, but slightly different facilities for different category of users depending on the per capita income of each potential consumers. Firms must have creative personnel in the graphics department creating new things in anticipation for years ahead instead of producing refurbished products for the market. Refurbished products with different warranty might have negative impact on the real/new product from the same firm. This tells on the goodwill of such firm negatively. There is also the need for the nations to create self-employed people. This is the need for the creation of new jobs from the existing jobs. The unemployed or those that lost their jobs through the advancement of technology especially since the advent of computer and internet have opportunities to start their own with the same inventions that cost them the jobs. The rate of underemployment is growing in United Kingdom, United States aside many underdeveloped economies across the world. Euro crisis and currency crises are crippling economies in the continents leading to the drought of jobs. Most nations suffer weak currency that could not afford to pay the bills. Services and goods flood the markets with no regular buyers. Industries that fail to translate their commodities into cash are facing business collapse hence jobs loss. Underemployment becomes rampant. Real and secure jobs become hard to find even if the monthly pay never commensurate to the inflation rate. This reminds me of an ambitious youth, Deremi, in my neighbourhood that applied for a courier service job in a multi-national company about four years ago. He could not get any call until now (four years later). Imagine if he had joined the bandwagon of deviants that are fraudsters, armed robbers, drug pushers,…what would have become of him today? I particularly is not afraid of getting jobs, the problem is how secure and reliable such job would be. Many employers owe their employees months of salaries as a result of poor sales hence dwindling income. The employees end up redundant and/or sacked. Those that are lucky end up becoming contract staffs that have no welfare package after years of services to the companies. The job insecurity tempts many employees into embezzlement, frauds, and all the vicious acts. The production quality and output slow down since they lack motivation in the name of having secure jobs. There is then the need to create as many new self-employed/entrepreneurs as possible. This is a major purpose of this research-based work-creating new entrepreneurs! Meanwhile, the new entrepreneurs should think about the going-concern of the businesses. They, I mean, the like-minds among the individual entrepreneurs must merge to produce world acceptable product(s) and /or service(s).
This book is also an eye opener to the prospective entrepreneurs in particular on how to discover and develop new jobs opportunities from those in existence at all nations especially in the advanced nations with working social infrastructure and administration deep concern for business growth and development. It is so important these days to scout for new jobs in a period when most companies are downsizing the workforce in a way to cut costs. Those who lost their jobs must find something new or better to do hence they do not become tools or workshops for the devil. They have the invaluable professional experience from their various previous engagements. It is high time they are taught the complementary art and the accolades on becoming self-bosses as new entrepreneurs. They possess the potentials with the skills already acquired and their exposures garnered for years on their last jobs. They have the potentials to become creators of jobs themselves where they become the coach-player of the new found interests (businesses). That is creating a soft landing for them all. They have an external challenge in the already understood competitive market. They could produce new products and services. It should be recalled that some of them were disengaged from vital sections in the course of downsizing as they were surplus to their requirements of their former employers. Becoming one needs the learning of the art and acts. We can only do that effectively when there is a work of research on jobs creation serving as an eye opener. This is the book, the product of the research. Capital is not and never the problem. You need little from the pay-off or none at all but ideas of starting and selling. You can start your own business interest with zero capital! The most important is learning the art of being an entrepreneur. This is nothing more than learning the secrets of the particular business idea about to engage on. Every surviving and viable business has a secret. Writing is an art, a skill, a talent and a natural endowment but a good writer that dreams to become a best seller must create time to learn the secrets of writing a best selling. What do you write? Who do you write for? How do you present your words, phrases and sentences? How do you introduce vocabularies and idioms? The readers in mind as target determine the kinds of language to be employed.

Selling your own product/service or others’ is a skill; could be a hobby or a profession but yet such should develop the secrets to make huge sa
