This is sort of my first thread so I'll do the best I can with getting my point across. 😀
First I'd like to introduce myself...
My name is Lewis, I'm 26 years old. I'm a Husband, Father, and a Fastlaner (not really)
but I think optimism goes a long way.
((((FAST FORWARD BUTTON))))
I am currently working as a truck driver for a Wine company.
I've been working there for about 4 years. Recently the Owner of the company sold
to a bigger player in the industry. He decide to cash in (as he should have).
The problem with being EMPLOYED instead of being the Boss?
When the plane goes down, the Owner usually only have parachutes for the ones FINANCIALLY invested.
The new company came in and in their first week, they laid off 6 drivers.
THAT WAS UNEXPECTED
As for the rest of us, we took a pay cut and a vacation cut.
I am pretty sure these were tactics to make us quit. I wasn't bothered by the pay cut.
I've always been the type of guy to have multiple streams of income.
Thanks to the popular book- Rich Dad Poor Dad; I was a step ahead of the game.
((((FAST FORWARD x2))))
After reading MJ's book, I pulled away from Network Marketing I.E. my multiple streams of income.
Now I am on the SIDEWALK. I don't feel bad about being on the SIDEWALK.
The Sidewalk is the starting line. The fact that I snapped out of the
"work harder, and I'll succeed" trance, makes me 😀.
I've always felt like I would do great things in my life. I just never knew where to start.
Seeing that most Entrepreneurs start from the "STARTING LINE" is reassuring.
I am not seeking a replacement job. I am sharpening my "PROBLEM SOLVING" skills.
WARNING: Off Subject
I started writing an ebook. All of this talent and passion should have an outlet.
Writing is that outlet.
THE POINT OF THIS THREAD:
Everyone has shit to go through. Flush it and keep going.
Success Is Yours,
