Just get going...

When 9/11 hit, I was caught by surprise - and my wallet was getting lighter by the day!

 

Less than three weeks later, I was off the property with no plan to return to the airline, no furlough pay and no foreseeable income.

 

Airplanes were grounded; pilots were on the street; and my savings took a nosedive.

But it didn’t last long!

 

Within a week I created a plan - figured out how much money I needed to support my family, how much I needed to make and opted for a side hustle that would ease my financial burden.

 

I went to real estate school.

 

Being furloughed 20 years ago pushed me to create sustainable income.This time I wasn’t worried about getting furloughed, or displaced.

 

I didn’t have anxiety last fall, when I was facing a 30% loss of my flying income.

Instead, I just beefed up my side hustle and generated more than $100,000 last year – mostly working from home!

 

Last month I was in the Florida Keys - working more than $1 million in real estate contracts, between kayaking and paddle boarding!

 

 

You too can use your time off to pad your bank account!

 

Furloughs are going to happen. Displacements are always an option.

 

But your bank account doesn’t have to get slashed!

 

Instead of fearing the downturn, I embraced it and pivoted - learning a new money making skill and having fun in the process.

 

How did you feel last year as the prospect of losing your window office, you job, your income?

 

How would you rather have felt?

 

Start now preparing now for the next downturn.
