Economy: Have You Had To Downsize Your Life?

Grief stricken worker

Grief stricken worker

Have you been grief stricken by a job layoff or a job downsize …. And now your looking at other means to fill that void. But your not sure which way to turn.

If so, I can truly relate because I found myself in the same situation. One day I went to work and before the day was over, I found out my services were no longer needed. I was told I needed to leave the company premises  ASAP. So I began gathering my belonging and packing my stuff into my vehicle. And then I left the premise not knowing what the next day will bring….

The next morning, I got up and went to the Georgia Unemployment Office. Once  I was inside, I saw a mass amount of people standing in line waiting… They were all waiting to apply for unemployment., along with myself….

We were all broken into small groups where we were given the necessary steps needed receive an Unemployment Check.

Do you here me “AN UNEMPLOYMENT CHECK?”

A check that was barely enough to buy Groceries or pay Utilities.

Once knowing that, I knew my life had to change. I couldn’t do all the things I used to do like, eating out or even buying things…..

So, now let me ask you the reader “Do you have to downsize your life?” because of ……

If so, what are you going to do, until you get back on the right side of the track.

Me, Myself, I continued on my journey looking for employment,  only to find days and even months passed by and nothing happen. It was like life was standing still.. It seem like all my walls were crumbling. I just couldn’t get a break… However, I continued to strive forward because of my determination and most importantly my FAITH,  I knew things were going to get better. I just didn’t know when. All I had to do was live within my means, until…

Guess what? my Until can to light. I figured out my game plan….

One of the first things I recognized,  my college degree nor my professional experience wasn’t going to work anymore because of the change in Corporate America, “You are not guaranteed a job for a lifetime, anymore”.

After discovery that, I knew that  I wasn’t going to run around in circles anymore trying to be employed by someone else.  I decide I was going to build my own empire….., so I wouldn’t be  SO dependent or  SO grief stricken when things weren’t going right.

So, I began reading books and learning all I could about various aspects of  home base businesses.

Now, what about you? “Where do you Stand?”

Excellent article Donna,

I know that I am glad that I have taken the leap to be my own boss and person..Not just belonging to an organization but running one, MINE.

I have always believed that when “one door closes, another one opens.” Always leading to something better.

Thank you for sharing your experience.
