WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED IT WASN'T THE BEST THING

February 26, 2008 was a scary day for me.

After 30 plus years in the management game, both operations and sales, they said I wasn't making it anymore.

This is after I just broke every sales record for the month of February.

They had nothing else to say other then where are the keys to my company car?

This is a photo of my boss, the ugly bastard. Not really but it's the ugliest photo I could find on the internet!

Keep reading if you want to know why it was the best thing to ever happen to me.

Don't Let Yourself Go Just Because You Lost Your Job 

YES I AM COMPLETELY DISILLUSIONED ABOUT CORPORATE AMERICA 

I've been around the block a few times and I do have some tips for anyone looking for a job

I would say only about 35% of the time are references verified to be real or not.

In other words, use your 3 main buds as your references. All three should be from a "previous company where you were a genius", saved the company and made millions. They were sorry to see you go but how could you turn down an offer of doubling your salary. You would have been nuts not to leave.

No HR department is going to call your existing job for a reference so you can say anything you want about your title, responsibilities etc...
Even if you don't work there anymore, say you do. They won't check.

How far will a company go finding out if your diploma is real or not?

Not very far. Most Human Resource department budgets are cut to the bone. They don't have time to check. I recommend to everyone I know to go and get a degree here. Instant Degrees

Quantity is the key. Make your resume to fit every job you apply for and send them out by the dozens.

As I first stated, only 35% of the HR departments will bother checking. So even if you get busted a few times in a lie, keep trying.

YOU CAN BE ANYONE YOU WANT. YOU CAN GET ANY JOB YOU WANT.

Good Luck

THE DOGS PICKED THE END OF THE MONTH SO THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY MY INSURANCE FOR MARCH 

Those rotten bastards

Any idea how much COBRA is?

For me and one college kid, over 800 bucks per month.

COBRA, big deal, you can't afford it anyway.

And severance? The pigs paid me until the end of the month and they expected me to say thanks.

My unemployment maxed out at $365 per week. I was making $1385.00 per week.

They replaced me with a guy making $673 per week. He was hired and ready to go!

I think the worse thing about the deal was my boss knew I had just committed to over $60,000 in school loans. I have 2 kids going to different private colleges.

Working, the 60k was something I could afford.
On unemployment, I was a dead duck.

I talked about the loans with my boss 2 or 3 weeks before he canned me. I know my termination was planned before that. He should have warned me not to get the loans.

Karma will get him one of these days.

I NOW EARN MY LIVING AS AN INTERNET MARKETER

Losing my job was the best thing to ever happen to me.

Keep reading, you'll see why soon.

This is where I have learned everything about Internet Marketing

THE FIRST FEW MONTHS WERE REALLY TOUGH. 

Not only financially, mentally too

I was earning a decent pay for years and I lived a decent life, no real money worries.

To have that fountain of money turn into a trickle was devastating to say the least.

The budget was changed around and I eked by financially, mentally was a different story.

Have you ever felt worthless before? Have you ever been fired?

Not good feelings to have and after about 2 months of self pity, I realized at only 58 years old, I better do something or I'd be living in my car.

This is keeping me from living in my car.

I HAD LOOKED AT THE INTERNET AS A BUSINESS OPORTUNITY ON AND OFF FOR YEARS 

Even tried a few things, in 1999 but quit fast and again in 2005 but quit fast again.

I ran a couple of stupid ads to try and sell a few things.
Of course, I knew nothing and thought I should make a ton of dough instantly and when it didn't happen, I quit.

I didn't need it, I had a job, but it was interesting and something I could do at home.

After a couple of months of self pity after getting terminated, the internet popped into my mind again.

This is where I have learned everything about Internet Marketing

STARTED TO GET SERIOUS IN MAY OF 2008 

Bought some of the internet programs, starting reading forums etc....

The stuff I bought was pure junk.

Even though I spent about $700 on different money making programs, they were so bad, when I had my computer updated to run faster, I had them all deleted.

They were basically worthless.

But I had a good feeling about some things I saw, and my job search was going no where.

Who's going to hire a 58 yr. old man during an economy downturn? NOBODY.
There are too many good people unemployed in their 30's and 40's.
