                  There was an article out recently that talked about 
how to reduce the risk of being laid off. There are three main things 
that employers look for when deciding who to keep. They want to keep 
people who are positive, people who are versatile, and people who are 
always improving.
                   
                  Are you focused on developing your gifts in such a way
 that your company cannot make it without you? Do they notice that 
things don’t run nearly as smoothly when you’re not there? If you take a
 week off and nobody misses you, all the work gets done and sales are 
just as good, unless you’re the owner, it’s time to sound the alarm. If 
you’re not being missed, then maybe you’re not needed. You need to kick 
it into a new gear and start producing more than you have been.
                   
                  Scripture is clear, when we sharpen our skills, when 
we work with a spirit of excellence, we will stand before great men. 
Leaders will take notice. Promotion comes. Like cream rising to the top,
 you will rise higher as well. Remember, as you keep doing your best, as
 you stay faithful and keep growing, God will cause you to be noticed 
and move forward in the life of blessing He has prepared for you!
