Lay-Off? This Will Never Happen to Me!

Joan Bailey
Most of us think that this will never happen to us, but it could. You could lose your job tomorrow.

Just turn on the news, or flip open a newspaper and you will see that thousands of people are losing their jobs every day! Right here in Florida, counties are cutting staff; from top management, to line employees. Even the space industry is cutting jobs! Most of these people have been in these jobs for years and they don't know how to do anything else! There is no such thing as loyalty anymore. No one is exempt - not even you.

Our career choice is our identity. And if you lose it, whether it is from a lay-off, termination, retirement, or even health reasons, you may lose more than money and who you are. You may lose your self esteem, and your sense of daily accomplishment. It is easy to get lost.

There is nothing scarier than the thought of losing everything that you have gained. We work hard for our money and our homes. Would you be able to support your family? How would you get affordable healthcare should something go wrong? Could you continue to pay your mortgage or credit card bills? Unfortunately, many people don't consider that this will ever happen to them, so they are not prepared.

Well I suggest that you get prepared. Start making "Plan B." Take control of your own life and your own financial destiny.

For example; do you like working on computers? Perhaps you could do what I did, and start a part-time internet site selling a product that you could personally endorse. It is very important that you really like the product - it will show in your words and your actions.

Like many Americans, I had become interested in my health. I found a company and product that I would personally endorse. They had a low start-up fee, a great compensation plan, and I joined. I then created my own website and started learning about marketing on the internet (all free courses).

I did all of this in my spare time (a few hours a week), and eventually, over seven months, my business has grown to the point that I am now matching my regular income with potential for growth. Guess who is in control now?

I feel great! I am no longer dependent on an employer to determine if I earn an income. I am actually rewarded financially for my work, and I set my own hours. That's the beauty of the internet; it keeps working even if you are not!

Why wait until someone else decides your future? Take control of your own life and become your own entrepreneur. Start now, and within seven months to a year, hopefully you too will be able to say goodbye to your 9-5 job and say hello to independence and financial security!

I am a happier person and I feel in control of my destiny. And I feel a daily sense of accomplishment, especially when those checks hit the bank account each month!
