How successful you are in any economy is really a function of your mindset. The plethora of messages we receive every day try to convince us that the situation is dire and that we are at the mercy of the economy and the companies who may or may not employ us.
Since the onset of this economic environment I’ve noticed a recurring theme or conversation around employment; the focus is on finding a replacement JOB rather than a replacement INCOME. There’s a difference.
You may or may not be able to replace your previous job with the level of income that you’ve had in the past. Because that job at that level of income may not exist anymore. See, the job might be gone, but the need to have that work done is still there.
