Be Careful What You Wish For...

My husband had been with his current company for almost a year and was growing weary of the position. We had a discussion in which he discussed his growing frustration and I told him how I wished I had more time to grow my businesses and begin to, once again, contribute financially to our family. Obligations of a salary and to our children came first, so we didn't think much of the discussion. It was more of a airing of grievances which we do every so often about life in general.A few days later, this past Friday, he came to me in the morning and told me he was pretty sure he was getting laid off. His boss was coming to town and asked him to bring his computer with him and to have the pipeline updated. He told me "My boss usually has his head in the clouds, so for him to be specific that I bring my computer, I know something is up." And he was right.His boss gave him the option of taking 2 weeks severance or being a consultant to the company. So he is making his decision and trying to formulate a way to still get unemployment benefits while being a consultant, but I'm not sure that is possible. So I have been thrust into the position of jumping in feet first and trying to grow my 2 businesses-FAST!I called Niki yesterday and we will be meeting this week so I can talk to her about an action plan with MyLifeShare. My husband, who is in sales, told me this needs to go viral, so I'm going to be posting on Facebook and other places like crazy. He also suggested blogging, which is why I'm starting this today. I hope as this story unfolds that this blog will serve as inspiration to myself to see where I have been and to others to see what it is like to start from ground zero and grow a business with MyLifeShare.
