You got a job! You're fired!

Whew, it's been a rollercoasteeeeerrrrrrr~

I've been working on 3 physically heavy jobs, 7 days a week.

At some point I was like: Nope, had enough!

Took Action! Searched for a new job! BOOM, found one as a sales assistant! PERFECT! BEST DAY EVER!

3 months later the company went bankrupt. Everything happened so fast: "You have 3 days to clean the shop and leave."

NOOOO!!! *Shock*.

My colleagues cried all day, my boss was upset.. what now?

Without any income coming in anymore, I've cancelled my first vacation that I wanted to take in 5 years, plus other important plans - like a surgery (nothing serious). I blamed myself for everything that had happened and fell into a depression. (haha again...)

So from excitement of a new cool job, to shock of getting fired, to sadness, to depression, to anxiety of job interviews and rejections - too many emotions at once...I got sick for a week.

My point is...I stopped even taking care of my webby or anything related to this online adventure, for over a month! I wanted to put the most epic and fun content out there and with my stress-head, there was nothing positive I could type, I even had no ideas anymore. :O

So I started taking action and sending CV's, searching and searching...rejection after rejection..

And finally, I found a new job! YAAASSS!! (also as a sales assistant)

STARTING TOMORROW!

My head got calmer from knowing that I can provide for myself again (financially).

I started taking action again, I feel creative, suddenly I have tons of ideas again!

Understanding Others.

I've met a few people, who also have passion for home business, but they couldn't even start, and I told them: "JUST DO IT! GO FOR IT! Why not?"

I didn't understand what they have been going through, that was blocking their creative mind from starting their online biz. ..Until I experienced it myself.

Being able to provide for your basic needs, to have an income coming in, plays a huge role in your online performance.

When things get rough, we can go through it with a smile and taking more action, or we can choose to get depressed and negative. At the end of the day, it's our reaction that will make a change (or not).

At the same time, we're all just humans and we're not always so tough, strong and motivated. When life's good, it's a lot easier to stay on track.

Go at your own pace, take care of your real life, so you can take care of your online life, so it can take care of you in the future. :)
