I got terminated from my job after 7 years. It wasn’t easy to accept especially knowing I was one of the top earners on my team. Last year my performance slipped, and looking back, I could feel something was off. I started to realize I was being pushed out.
But here’s the thing sometimes what feels like a setback is actually a reset.
At the start of this year, I shifted my focus fully into the stock market. I had been learning and investing for almost 6 years, but never gave it 100%. Now I am and I genuinely love it. For the first time, I feel like I’m building something for myself, not just working for someone else.
I’m also starting to move into rental properties, creating another path for income and independence. I don’t know exactly where this road will lead, but I know I’m no longer standing still.
I’m sharing this because conversations like these helped me prepare mentally. If you still have a job, stay sharp and keep growing. If you feel like something isn’t right at work, don’t ignore it prepare yourself. Build skills, save money, create options.
Don’t wait until you’re forced to move -move before that.
Sometimes you don’t realize your strength until you’re pushed into the unknown.
Good luck to everyone on their journey.
