My husband (our sole breadwinner) has been laid off twice, both times just before the holidays. The first time, we were expecting our 3rd child at the beginning of January.

Both times, something even better was just around the corner. We enjoyed the extra time together, made good decisions, stayed out of debt, and had faith that it would all work out for the best and it did. I’m sure it will for you too.

I got fired from my last job (5 years ago) when the 2 owners got in a feud and divided the business.

Seems neither of them wanted to seriously take on the customers and business my group was working on at the time, so I started my own business to do it.

I had always wanted to start my own business, but was too timid. Getting fired was God’s way of kicking me in the pants and saying - stop talking and go do it!

Just keep yr. personal savings in reserve - that’s what you will live on and will keep yr. family from worrying if things go slow at first. Don’t get tempted to use them to build out a big new office or go on a crazy marketing spree.

Good luck!

Sounds like you have put together a properly ballasted and seaworthy ship that will withstand a category 5 financial hurricane!

Outstanding work!
