I've joined the ranks of the unemployed.

God never closes one door without opening another ..

Sometimes that new door isn't obvious, and we need to search it out but that (in my opinion) only makes the rewards that much sweeter

Good luck, and God Bless

I have been unemployed all my life.. i had been doing internet marketing since college days and did not go for a day job offer that i got..

As someone who lost their job due to the economic downturn a few years back I can only wish you the best of luck.
For me, I found a new life that is so good at present.
Like the Rev said, one door closes and another opens.
Cheers

Welcome to the club uneployed .Good luck. I know how it feels to lose your job and stability

Good luck swilliams and I hope you succeed with your plans.

@swilliams09 - I'm so sorry to hear about your news. Being made redundant is horrible and it can bring challenges for even the most positive person.

However, I'm not sure that it's right that you say that you're unemployed. From what you've told us, you've started up a really successful business that's enabled you to pay off your debts and develop your video production skills! Wow!! So, in your CV, I'd refer yourself as a freelance video marketer, rather than someone that's unemployed. Not only will this help raise your spirits, but it also might impress potential employers too.

it's always good to find people who don't dwell on the negative after things not working out for them. positive thinking and winning attitude will take you far. good luck in your endeavours then.

Invest your money in your business/products and join the ranks of the self-employed.

I wouldn't say being a successful Entrepreneur is “easy” (depending on how smart you work and if you know what you're doing) however it's something that absolutely anyone can accomplish - no matter where they're starting from. :-)

Good luck and I wish you well. Lets hope your cloud has a silver lining which in many instances they do. Decide on your goal and go for it - thats whats important and as someone said earlier join the self employed

When I was very young, Napoleon Hill gave me my first re-frame, different way of looking at, disastrous events or ****ty circumstances. The belief he installed in me was "Within every adversity, lies an equivalent or greater benefit."

This is real easy to preach when everything is lav, lav, lovely. But when you're in the thick of drama, you might be tempted to tell people who quote Hill, to shove it up their ass a thousand times so they have a big asshole.

Even though looking for how the situation can serve you is probably the best advice you could get, it's never what you want to hear at the time. Even though it's about a jillion times better than commiserating day in day out with another person about how they've also been royally screwed.

Dan Kennedy in his Wealth Attraction seminar tells the story of the Investment banker in New York City who was on top of the world one day, and the bottom the next.

This investment banker was the king of investment bankers and was living high on the hog. One of the ways he would treat his royal self was with the company of the worlds most expensive strippers, er, I mean, "Dancers" fit for a king.

Well, in between cup cake talk, he doled out a stock tip here and a stock tip there and someone who must not have had any love for this guy ran their mouth to the authorities. Next thing you know, he's strung up on 'Insider Trading' charges just like Martha Stewart.

Off to prison he goes. Pretty ****ty event, eh?

While sitting in the slammer, I can imagine he's thinking "This has gotta be the worst thing that ever happened to me." That is until September 11th, 2001 rolls around. His luxurious office, where he would've been working had he not been ratted out, was located on the floor in the World Trade Center right where one of the planes plowed into.

None of his former co-workers survived.

All of sudden... worst thing that ever happened to me, ends up being the best thing that ever happened to me. This and many other examples like it caused Dan Kennedy to believe that "All News Is Good News."

Below I've posted the video from Conan O' Brien's visit to Google this last week. In my opinion, it's sheer comedic brilliance. He's taking random questions from the google employees and is tearing the room up in laughter.

Do you remember how Conan O' Brien got punked out his prestigious post of lead man of "The Tonight Show" by Jay Leno? Well when he spoke at Google, they didn't hesitate ask him his thoughts on that.

Did he whine like a bitch or did he man up?

Watch, laugh and hear for yourself in the video below... I guarantee there's a mighty lesson to be found...

PS. I'm happy to hear that the Warrior Forum's warm embrace has led you to opportunity!

Awesome! Glad your video thing is going well for you.

Great luck in the future. Reality is pretty negotiable, if you're willing to condition yourself to withstand discomfort, never complain, do what other people won't and hone your thinking capacities!

Keep us posted, best of luck man.

Sorry to hear about your job, but use it for motivation to fire yourself up to success. Things many times happen for a reason.

Its been a year or so for me! I like Greg stated, I have become unemployable by society's standards! I hope I don't ever have to go back

It may start out as bad luck, but turns into great luck, with the right attitude.

Know that something even better is going to fill that void!

Good luck to you!
