Life can be good after getting laid off.

You received a pink slip today. After your recover from shock you feel shame and embarrassment. You are in denial and disbelief. You feel abandoned and overwhelmed and do not want to share this vital information with love ones.

You rush to the safety of home and have more shameful feelings. You want to crawl in a hole and cover yourself. You finally share the news with your family and they are surprised and disappointed as well.
You and your family have decisions to make as fast as possible.

Some tips:

1. Overhaul your expenses. Cut back on everything with a hatchet.
2. Conserve your cash.
3. If you or a family member have a pre-existing medical condition do everything possible to keep cobra, your health insurance.
4. Apply for unemployment.
5. Exercise, this is a great stress buster
6. Take time to grieve your loss, it is real.
7. Work on your attitude.

If you have been in a major depression, snap out of it. It is time for a overhaul in your thinking. The shock and despair has worn off and you have come to terms with what has happened to you. Now is the time to have a serious talk with yourself first then your family.

Some of the questions you want to consider are:

1. How do I really feel about that job/career?
2. Is this a good time for me to rethink my options?
3. Is this a path I want to take for the duration of my working life?
4. Finally, what lessons are in this for me?

Entrepreneurs do not get laid off. They do not fire themselves. It could be time to consider being your boss and having a business of your own. You can make as much money as you choose. This is an abundant world and you can have your share. It is a decision away. Is it time for a career change?

Is it time to begin that search for a business that you can build into your empire? When you put together your game plan consider a business as part of your future.

Life can take unexpected turns. You could be distraught because of this experience. One day you could thank your former employer for letting you go. Like so many difficult experiences in life once you walk through them you realize that they were opportunities to move you along a different path.

It is all about your attitude and what you make out of this experience. This too shall pass.

Honor yourself.
