1. 1. Accept reality. Many spend more time and energy getting angry than in preparing for a new life. Realize that your dependency on a fixed income is over and that you have to tend for yourself.
2. Take stock of what you have. Do a serious assessment of your assets and liabilities, financial and otherwise. Can you ask your bank to refinance your house and use your separation pay to start a new small family business?
3. Go back to your old dreams. Recall what you really wanted to do in life and see what you can make money out of your passion. What makes you happy? Most successful people are those who are happy with what they do. You might even make more money with a hobby that makes you happy than with the job you lost.
5. Organize, then mobilize. If you want to be in business during the lull between jobs, organize yourself, your time and your resources. There is nothing wrong with using other people’s brains. Get friends who are similarly situated to join you. Organize and form a team before someone else takes advantage of an opportunity.
Retrenchment is not the end of the road. Rather see it as an opportunity rather and a problem.

All of us, by the choices we make, help to determine the world of the present and the future.
Our choices therefore have endless consequences.
The book of Proverbs says that we think, so are we.
Because we are the world, as we think, so will the world be.
