I can recall over 30 years ago when I was fired from my first sales position. I had two children with another one on the way and not a spare dime to my name. I can remember as if it were yesterday the overwhelming sense of desperation I felt. I was letting my family down; I was even letting myself down. I didn't know what to do or where to turn. I only knew I needed a job and I needed one NOW.Several years after that, I also lost a business. The story and the gory details are too long to burden you with. Suffice it to say, I once again felt this tremendous sense of despair. Everything I had worked so hard for was gone in less than a week.What defines you? Your success? Your position? Your power or fame? Is it who you know or play golf with?It's just a job, folks – nothing more. You got that one; you can get another one. Now, I am not an advocate of jumping from one ship to the next every six months or every time your boss or company does something you dislike. But, few people today stay at the same job or career their entire life. If you have, I salute you. If you haven't, I would ask you what were your reasons for leaving?Jobs are about work, not fun. We don't tell our friends that we can't stay out late partying because we have to go to 'fun' tomorrow. We work so we can create lifestyle – so we can have fun, travel, spend, etc.If you find yourself out of work, see it as an opportunity to improve yourself, your life, your lifestyle or your relationship with someone. See it as an opportunity to get into another position or career that is more consistent with your goals, needs, desires or philosophy.Whining won't help. Complaining won't help. Blaming others won't help. Feeling sorry for yourself won't help. Giving up won't help. Got it? Now go for it.Tim Connor, CSP is an internationally renowned sales, management and leadership speaker, trainer and best selling author.
