Listen "236. Losing Your Job Can Be A Blessing In Disguise"
Episode Synopsis
Losing your job does not have to be a disaster. It can actually be a blessing in disguise. Losing that nine to five job may have just opened a brand new world to you.
The first thing to do is to realize that stressing over the situation is not going to help. In fact, it will just make the situation worse. Sit back and relax a bit. Then really start exploring the positive options you have.
Let’s explore just a few options you have.
New Career
Have you ever considered looking for a completely different career? What are your interests? What do you really enjoy doing?
Don’t let anyone tell you that you have to work in the same career your entire life.
Easy Job
Maybe it’s time to just get an easy job. One that does not take any real skills or talents. Work an easy job for a while to reduce stress and just enjoy life.
Do you enjoy talking with people? Maybe a job in retail sales would be a perfect fit for you.
Go Back To School
Regardless of your age you could take some time off from working and go back to school. How about train for a new career? Or maybe just take some classes for fun?
You could go back to school part time and work an easy job part time if you don’t have enough savings to attend school full time.
Travel
Have you had a dream to travel or take a well needed vacation? Now may be the perfect time to pack the bags and hit the road. Leave your worries behind for a while.
Have a bucket list? How many things can you check off while traveling?
Start A Business
Have you thought about starting your own business? Why not now? There are many businesses you can start from home with very little money. Start writing your own paycheck and never worry about getting fired again.
Have a hobby you really enjoy? Can you turn it into a business that you would love doing each day?
Now take some time and really explore any of the options we covered above that peak your interest. Maybe a combination of two or more will suit you best. How about traveling and running your own business from a laptop computer?
Can you see all the possibilities that just opened up to you by losing your job? Now was it that bad of a thing to happen?
