4th Industrial Revolution - The Human Impact

I will begin tweeting some survey results. I will not be able to tweet every survey entry because there are too many. We currently have over 7,500 entries from 117 countries.

I want the world to understand that folks who want to “Just Quit” their jobs are NOT crazy, they are NOT lazy, and they are NOT quitters.  They are innovators, they are brave, they are honest and they are ahead of the pack.

Something dramatic is happening in the world work as we move into the 4th Industrial Revolution and people worldwide are feeling the pain of these changes.

I want people who find this blog to know that they are NOT alone.  I have been blogging about this now for five years and FINALLY have made the connection to what is happening and why it is happening.

Now it is a matter of being the voice and recorder for those aware and awake as we all live on the cusp of this change in the work world and the impact it is having on the labor “market”.  I don’t want to give statistics  and numbers but highlight real people and real stories.

Thanks to those who complete the survey.  I understand your pain. I was there 13 years ago. It is real. You are not crazy.  You are not alone.  You are a step ahead of where others will find themselves in due time.

Danaja's Place - Moving Forward

 

Back in 2014 I registered the name Danaja’s Place with the City, then I changed the name of my Etsy shop to Danaja’s Place and started collecting boho fashion to list. A couple of weeks ago I posted the Corners post. I went to a couple of bookstores and even the library and envisioned somebody in the corner helping people flesh out their ideas.

Giving people hope that they can “Just Quit” dead-end jobs, and/or create a life worth living while they work those jobs. A place to learn the skills that will be needed for the 4th Industrial Revolution (which is here…although many are not aware that this is the main reason for misery in jobs that are dying out.)

Saturday morning I woke up,  got dressed and went in the general direction of Huntersville and found the perfect little space for Danaja’s Place.   It is on the main road.  It has a store front for local affirmation art, books and boho fashions and a space in the back for classes, collaboration and creativity.  I’m not even wondering HOW this is supposed to work out. If it is meant to work out, then it will.  Not stressing on the HOW. I’m  just going to move forward and see where this takes me.

P.S. Update 2-19-16 Made a phone call, did a little research on-line and decided not to move forward on this location…but…the seed has been planted!
