Today, January 3rd, 2017.
After having an amazing fun filled Christmas.
A spectacular drunken New Years.
Leading into what looks like a very promising 2017.
This morning at 10-am my employer laid off 10 Engineers. Most of which did not have a rainy day fund, only a few had enough savings to hold off until they can find something else. Some just signed new leases. Some just bought new cars in December.
Needless to say this bothers me. While we are building our businesses or "Fast Lane Vehicle's" we can never forget that we are NOT safe. When you get home from work and consider relaxing and enjoying netflix instead of pushing the ball forward. Remember " You are NOT safe"
When your boss has stressed you out and you just want to lounge around with the boys or the gals, remember "You are NOT safe".
This subject alone has always been a huge motivator for me.
A job is a great financial asset to building your business on the side, just do not let it cripple your action.
Because any day, any minute, this could be you or me.
Just wanted to share, today was a sad day as most of those guys were good friends of mines and without an additional source of income, they are now seemingly lost.
Tonight, I will go home and work because I know as long as I'm attached to my job. I AM NOT SAFE
Happy New Years All.
