This is pretty scary stuff for slowlaners and I feel bad for these people...

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2015-...l-spending-cuts-1-000-jobs-on-oil-prices.html

Suncor cuts 1,000 jobs, takes $1-billion out of 2015 budget

This is a prime example of how ANYTHING can happen at ANY time and you have absolutely NO control over it whatsover. I've worked at companies where people had 20, 30, 40 years of experience and thought they were invincible, but they got cut loose and bc they've been doing the same brainless tasks on a daily for decades, they had no skills to even find a new job. They were counting down the days until their corporate pension kicked in, until the shaft came down on them and poof gone.

The same applies to business. If you're not in control, either GET in control or GET OUT. I've been burnt many times in the past bc I didn't have full control over my businesses...I sank so fast I had no idea what had just happened.

This is just a reminder to y'all...can't stress how important control is in the CENTS formula.
