I posted here because I know a few of you know the name of the company I work for and as it is currently a private company I am not sure of whether or not I am allowed to disclose this info, but today for the first time in company history they sent out the first round of layoffs.

While I post frequently about not liking the idea of a "job"(something I'm sure I share with most of you :smxB:), I do currently like what I do, as it is a sales job where I am building fastlane skills while earning a check to help pay the bills, which is currently the biggest obstacle that keeps me in the slowlane :nonod:

While I do like what I am doing now, I wanted to post this as a reminder to myself and other current slowlaners to keep the motivation towards the fastlane as today is a real-life reminder of what you have to look forward to in this lifestyle and just another of the many reasons I want to keep my motivation and drive towards the fastlane!

So with that in mind, I need to stay on top of my research and preparing to get the most out of B&P next month so I can meet my goal of becoming self-employed again by this time next year!
