Laid off, Laid up and Still Making Money

Restored from the Empower Network archive (2011–2017), lightly edited to meet our current advertising standards. Views are the original author’s.

People say the economy is getting better.  Really?
Tell that to all my co-workers who just took a 20% pay cut

Luckily I found a way to replace my income.

Good thing cause there are a blue ton of kids in my
neighborhood and I enjoy seeing their toothy grins
on Halloween.

Wow – Have you priced candy recently?!?  My wife typically does
not buy candy.     Now I know why.

Any who, I bought the candy anyway and thoroughly enjoyed the kids.
My wife was on a  trip so I videoed some of the little ones
so she could enjoy them to.

Perhaps these little things are a struggle for you too?
The holidays are right around the corner – but I’m not worried.

Are you?

I have a bad back, there are days my leg will literally give out on me.
As a machinist I would routinely lift items well over 75 lbs.   If you are not
able to lift you are not able to work.    The writing was on the wall.
Somehow I had to replace my income because everything was on the line.

I soon learned that is a tall order.

After purchasing many programs that I did not understand,
hated or just plain didn’t work I stumbled onto something
that interested me.  My curiosity was peaked because
the founders were real people just like me.

They had failures, they had struggles, and they shared
the stuff most people hide.  Not only did they share they were
willing to walk me thru what they found to work – step by step.

For me this was a refreshing change of pace.

Long story short, I got in.  Four short months later
and I no longer worry about being laid off, loosing the house,
or the car, putting food on the table or paying any of the other
endless bills that come in. My back is better simply because
I don’t abuse it every day.

Now  the little things in life don’t stress me out. I get to enjoy them
instead.   Need Halloween candy, no big deal.  The family is coming
for Thanksgiving dinner – Kroger, here we come.  Time to buy
Christmas presents – cool, let’s go shopping.

Are these some of the same things that stress you out?

Let me share how I put all those struggles behind me.
