p.s. I will let my group know about your blog.

Guess what? Loosing your job isn’t the end of the world. In fact, it could be the best thing that ever happened to you.

I made more money in november than ever before in my life. Did I earn this from sitting in a nice cushy job inside my comfort zone? nope.

I’m currently on my 10th job, and I’ve been in 6 different career lines.

I’m leaving this job in jan to run my business full time, because that’s making me a lot more money than my job.

Did I hit it big by luck with this business? Nope, this is my 7th Business I’ve started.

When you lose your job you can have 2 different mindsets:

1. OMG OMG OMG I’m Going to be broke! Quick Quick find another cushy job so I can keep looking just fabulous to all my friends.
2. Cool now I get the chance to learn, to grow and to be better than ever before.

Nearly every rich person I know has been broke/bankrupt/living in poverty before. Just off the top of my head I can name: John Reese, Eben Pagan, Steve Pavlina, Bill Bartman, I’m sure if you do a little research you’ll find just about every single rich person has been broke or down in the dumps at some point in their life.

The reason they got rich is because they subscribe to the “look to the future in a positive light” mentality, not fear.

Well done.

With all due respect. You sir, serve the all-mighty dollar [and so do the people that are panicking]. Your education is in Finance and your focus is on stocks. Money is your god and your god has FAILED. Stop being a negative Nancy. It may not be a “bad dream”, but it certainly isn’t the end of the world. Those people that have lost their jobs w/ current debt, tough, they managed their money poorly and relied to much on their employer(s) and the system. The made their bed…

Now is the time for people to ask themselves; Am I a sheep or am I a wolf? Stop crying. Stop being a victim. Get out there and build your reality.

I believe that a new rebirth of the American Entrepreneurial Spirit is blossoming. People who choose to remain victims and blame everything out side of themselves will unfortunately not do very well. Those that take control of their lives and learn new skills and learn to depend on themselves and their community will thrive.

I know people that are making millions on the Internet as well. Many of those people were struggling until they had some life changing experience. Many of them lost their jobs as a matter of fact and that propelled them to consider new ways to make money. Those that took responsibility for their situations have thrived, those that blame external circumstances don’t do well.

If you have seen the movie the Secret, you will see Joe Vitale make a stunning statement. ” You are 100% responsible for EVERYTHING that enters your experience.” It may be harsh words but they are a Universal Law like gravity is.

The sooner people stop listening to the brainwashing media that is making people wage dependent slaves, the better off we will all be. If you don’t believe these things that is fine. It does not make them untrue. Again it is a universal law, you can choose to not believe in gravity or you can believe the earth is flat, but that does not change the reality of the truth of the situation or change the Laws that the universe works by.

So that being the case, maybe now is a good time to do some research to see if these laws can work for you. Read a book about deliberate creation and intentions and try it for your self. You may be pleasantly surprised. Then teach it to a child so that they can grow up to their fullest potential and not in fear as we were raised.

Really? You really believe that? You think people are so weak that if they lose the job they probably despised for the last 5 years their life is going to be totally destroyed and they will never recover? Statistically speaking, people will go through more than 7 complete CAREER changes in their lifetimes…that’s not 7 jobs, but rather 7 totally different CAREERS. I really don’t think losing ONE job at some point in someones life is going to completely devastate them forever. Unless of course they choose to play into a victim mindset and allow it to devastate them.

I have a lot more faith in people and their ability to not only adapt and survive, but also to thrive in times of change if they adapt a positive attitude and keep moving forward.

This Blog is all about helping people to Make Money Doing What They Love and so when I see people losing jobs they hate, I WILL rejoice because it just helps them get their asses in gear to push even harder to find their TRUE purpose in life and Make Money Doing What They Love.

10 years ago *I* was in debt and broke without a job and on the verge of bankruptcy. Luckily I got into some personal development programs and books that taught me NOT to pretend I’m a victim and to get my life back together. It wasn’t easy, but it was one of the best lessons I’ve learned in my life and going through that process has made me a much stronger person today.

“…maybe you aren’t exactly objective in your thinking here.”

Oh absolutely! I didn’t create this Blog to try to write some form of objective truth that everyone will agree with. I created this blog to state my subjective opinion on certain topics. Most of the stuff I’ll write about people might not agree with, some will learn from, and some will get pissed off about, but that’s not going to stop me from sharing my opinion.

If you want an “objective” point of view of the world, go turn on the news… they only report the truth.

Thanks for the 2 cents, BTW. Always appreciated.

Recessions aren’t the “bad dreams” that you would suggest they are, they are very real and effect a lot of people. It’s a creative post, but I’d just like to give my two cents in suggesting that maybe you aren’t exactly objective in your thinking here.

Stop using the poor immigrants, I’m so much better off as American excuse. Please.

Further, I have been let go twice before in the US and know many other people who have been in the same situation. Sooner or later, we found BETTER paths than before, like Anna says.

Thank you for speaking out on the importance of keeping our heads while so many around us are falling victim to all the doom-and-gloom news.
