I saw this story and was immediately inspired:
My First Million: Bob Williamson, Horizon Software International and Honey Lake Plantation
You see last week I got some bad news, I found out my biggest client (my only client) was discontinuing my contract. I had worked for this company for 3 years had been with them thru thick and thin and the emotional impact was immediate. I felt like I was losing a job and betrayed.
The interesting thing is I did not particularly like this gig. I felt the company was not adequately addressing the needs and issues of the Systems Support team and it was adversely affecting its clients. I had made some suggestions to fix these issues and they were not addressed. So I was frustrated, to say the least.
I still have a very visceral reaction though to this assignment ending. There is a lot uncertainty and it is causing fear and anxiety in me and my family. I then saw this article. The power of faith,acceptance and striving is what I needed. I am starting to remember my intelligence, my smarts, my “hustle”. These things are going to see me and my family through. I am still scared but I have a sliver of hope.
