Food for thought: While many employers allegedly judge job applicants based on a background check, looks, height, weight, and potential ability to execute the duties of the job illegitimately, most employers allegedly judge job applicants by their physical disability. A person can apply for potential employment with the company, or multiple companies, and viewed by many employers upfront as a liability and having the inability to fit in with corporate culture, denying the job applicants gainful employment with the organization. In turn, this leaves some job applicants feeling less confident about themselves and wondering if they can truly establish a career working for someone else. While having a physical or mental disability can hinder employment opportunities and be seen as a negative thing, it can also be an indirect positive subliminal hint that the one that’s allegedly being discriminated against due to their physical or mental disability is actually cut out for entrepreneurship and a potential “side hustle millionaire,” in transition and in the making by being indirectly motivated to start their own business. When you, the employer, directly or indirectly discriminate against a job at camp or a current employee of the company for any reason, one thing you fail to acknowledge is you rob yourself of your own spiritual net worth. You hand your power over to the person you cast in a negative light and see as “different.” You will allow that person to have full control over you, transforming your negativity into their unlimited profitability. And profitability doesn’t always mean “monetary worldly tangible gain.”
ABC6.com has a beautiful and heart touching story on a young man who was discriminated against by many employers. He was “unemployable.” Virtually everywhere he went and filed a job application, he made it clear up front that he had a physical disability. His physical disability is known as “autism.” If you don’t know what autism is, it’s a physical impairment that associate itself with sleeping disorders, allergies, asthma, social interaction, communication skills,epilepsy, digestive disorders and more. Employers who discriminate against job applicants with autism are allegedly worried about “what people think,” because they want to maintain a certain “rep and image” to their business clientele so they continually look good before people. Moreover, employers who discriminate against job applicants and current employees of companies who have autism are more concerned about what people will think of them as an individual, because these types of employers are worried about maintaining a certain level of integrity and respect and don’t want anything about themselves or their company to become questionable. This is why most employers allegedly discriminate against job applicants and employees who have this mental and physical impairment.
ABC6 news has a beautiful story on Mr. Michael Coyne. Once he started filing job applications for gainful employment at the age of 21, the video news report states it was an uphill battle for Michael to get a job. His autism was seen potentially as a liability in the eyes of employers he filed job applications with. This allegedly hurt his self-confidence, but was truly a blessing in disguise. He’s a successful entrepreneur today with his own business known as Red, White and Brew. His mother was completely heartbroken during the time he struggled to acquire gainful employment, discovering the left and right her son was being rejected due to his impairment.
Michael never gave up on himself and continually did the transformation business work out of “inspiration or desperation.” refusing to wallow in self-pity and accepting defeat, he believed in his transformational ability to start his own business and took a leap of faith out of [inspiration or desperation], going to the “public 9th step,” proving employers and naysayers wrong about his ability. Michael’s business serves coffee and pastries. He developed his entrepreneurial skills through a state program that helped him realize his entrepreneurial potential and put his creative business ideas into fruition. Michael thought he would actually be the type of business he was starting because he knew nothing about the coffee and pastry industry. The video goes on to mention virtually two weeks after Michael opened his coffee shop, his business became a haven for other artistic people looking for inspiration to start their own businesses and better themselves in the uncertain game called life. Michael’s coffee shop today is thriving and making money hand over fist. He learned that adversity has hidden opportunity, and not all negative situations are actually meant to bring a person down spiritually and mentally. Out of almost every bad situation in life there is a “hidden good.”
Michael profits from adversity today because he’s doing something he loves. He gained from it meant to lead because in the midst of his struggles, he believed in himself and do the transformation business work out of inspiration or desperation. He also had a good mother to support him every step of the way and encourage him to take a leap of faith by believing in himself. A good mother never abandons her child or children, regardless of who discriminates against them for any reason. Michael’s mother is a good mother because she never gave up on him. Because his mother never gave up on him and helped him secondly to realize his potential, he strives for excellence today to be the best entrepreneur possible by passing the torch of inspiration to other autistic people struggling to make it in life through entrepreneurship. Truly, Michael is a “transformation champion for life,” and a living testimony to others who strive for excellence to get organized in the cold world we live in today.
