I was laid off from my job of 12 years…Thank God.

Before I begin, I want to make note that unfortunately many people have been laid off from their jobs this year. According to..about % to be exact. My heart goes out to everyone affected. This is certainly not an easy transition and everyone's case is different.

I don’t have children to support except for my senior dog. So although I was struggling financially, I can’t begin to imagine the struggle for those who have to feed their children. With that said, I share this as my own personal experience and how I’ve managed based on my circumstances.

I knew the day was coming. The day I would finally leave the company I had be so dedicated to for 12 years. I grew personally and professionally but knew this wasn’t the end of the road for me. I was meant for more, bigger, grander. I knew I wasn’t going to work for another company again, I was to work for myself but I had no idea what that looked like. What would I be doing? Where would I start? How would I make money"?
