Never ever be a victim of layoffs again


Reader,

The company where I work my day job is in the midst of an acquisition.

This means many employees feel insecure about their jobs.

When I recently conducted training, several colleagues were commenting about how people were feeling fearful.

They asked me for advice (translation: reassurance they would be ok).

I understand these are uncertain times that can be frightening.

As the primary provider, I know this worry firsthand - of not having an income while having a family to support.

Here's what I told them.

Layoffs is just part of corporate life.

When you sign up for a job, you signed up for this 'risk' too. Nothing in life is guaranteed.

You can't predict, stop or control when layoffs happen.

Instead, you can:

  • Keep your skills sharp
  • Nurture your networks
  • Master your self-talk and emotions

While I know it can be uncomfortable, I also know if I'm faced with job or income loss, I can handle it.

Not because I have a secret stash fund (although that would be nice), but because I won't let it to mess with my head and heart.

When you free yourself from worrying about things you can't control, you

  • Get clear about your direction and what to focus your attention on
  • Remain calm and take the best course of action in your situation
  • Move forward with confidence and conviction, and trust your decisions

As someone who used to lose sleep worrying about money and job insecurity, I've invested time and effort to master my habitual thoughts and emotions.

From negativity, fear and complaining, to focusing on the good feelings I want to experience in life and working towards those.

It's changed my life.

That's why it's now my mission to share my exact step-by-step method that's helped me become this empowered woman.

Hello Reader, When I started a business, all I wanted was to make extra money have time flexibility do work I love People online make it sound so easy.

Hello Reader, In 2024, I wiped the slate clean and recommitted to putting focused attention on building my business. I've had side hustles on and off since my 20s, selling services, online courses, coaching, freelancing and even a brick-and-mortar café. They never got the traction I'd hoped for. In 2023, I 'gave up'. After years of trying and failing, I was disillusioned and tired. So I scaled back a lot of my business activities in 2023. By the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024, the itch...
