Fired from my job

in #life7 years ago

I was fired from my job.

My savings account showed $6.24.

Moved into my mom’s small apartment. Slept on the floor.

I was left with one backpack of clothes and one computer.

Soon, I realised something amazing.

Fulfilment and success happen when you find a way to help people around you rather than taking from them.

Three problems: No skills. No money. Life was falling apart.

I only had one choice: Quit hanging out with my knuckle-headed friends named Worry and Doubt.

Right after, I met a new friend named Faith.

When we started hanging out, my life improved.

I learned new skills.

Built a marketing consultancy business.

Bootstrapped my company by buying goods from garage sales and selling them on ebay.

People began to recognize and trust my ability to help them.

I left my mom’s tiny apartment.

Now, I work remotely and travel to over 10 countries per year.

If you are not where you want to be,

Ask yourself:

Are you helping or taking?
