I don’t understand why people who are broke just stick with the same job that’s keeping them broke.
It also boggles my mind when people have been laid off by one corporation and then go work for another corporation that eventually lays them off.
Why keep doing the same thing that is leading to your financial doom?
Albert Einstein said,” Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.”
Get your sanity back by doing something different.
Try a different career. Take a leap of faith on a new opportunity.
Ten percent of Americans are unemployed as a result of corporations and small businesses laying off thousands because of the worst recession since the Great Depression, and many of these laid off workers are still looking for another corporation to hire them. But they don’t realize that they’ll be in the same situation — laid off struggling to get by — when the next recession hits.
So do something different. Be willing to change.
For instance, when the last recession hit in 2001, I was a successful sports writer for my hometown newspaper, and I was making a good salary, nearly $40,000 per year and I wasn’t even 25 years old yet.
But I was barely making ends meet and never had money to shop or travel. In between paychecks, I wrote checks at the supermarket for gas money and I went to cash advance places on payday for more money to pay the bills.
I got tired of being broke and never being able to travel, so I decided to do something different. I quit my job and I’ve been working on commission for the last five years.
Working on commission has allowed me to vacation in Alaska, Beverly Hills, the Bahamas and other places that I couldn’t afford to go with a regular job. And recently, I’ve been able to build my first house in the midst of millions losing their houses to foreclosures and short sales.
All because I decided to take a leap of faith and leave my cushy job for a new opportunity that has now changed my life.
If you’re tired of being broke and being laid off by company after company, check out this new opportunity that I’m a part of.
