Yesterday morning shortly after getting into my office, my girlfriend texted me and told me that my brother in law had lost his job. I really felt for him, it's incredibly scary as well as very defeating losing a job, especially a job you've had for a long time. My brother in law had been at this job for 16 or 18 years, pretty much his entire adult working life. This got me thinking. I wanted to make a video talking about how to be prepared for what life throws at you, as well as how to come back from adversity. I think there's a couple key things that will both have you prepared as well as help you come back from being kicked while your down. These things which we'll discuss in this video are... 1. Having a positive attitude and mental toughness. 2. Being prepared financially, having an emergency fund. 3. Continuing to educate yourself, improve yourself, grow, and continue developing skills that make you valuable and in demand. 4. Making yourself as valuable as possible so your workplace will fall apart without you. 5. And lastly, having a side hustle. A side hustle will not only help you build up emergency funds and reserves, but god forbid you do lose your job a side hustle will have at least some money comming in and you have something to pour your effort into. Getting laid off could even wind up being a blessing in disguise and a new start as opposed to a tragedy. Have you come back from a challenge or dealt with adversity?
