Well, it is official. Today was my last day on the job. About a month ago I was notified that my JOB was being dissolved. If you are interested in more about my reactions back then, read this post: http://www.thefastlanetomillions.com/your-goals-your-fastlane-plan/21919-careful-what-u-wish.html

I am posting today to share about my next step in moving beyond layoff and unemployment.

I have always had a passion for website design and creation. I have spent endless hours working on my computer and educating myself about website installation, setup and internet marketing.

As I became more familiar with WordPress and it's powerful applications, many of my friends regularly asked me to install and upgrade their WordPress blogs. I thought about putting together a set of instructional installation videos and selling them. But, I know my friends are just like most business owners... they don't really want or have time to learn HOW to do it, they just want it done!

So, when my employer recently dissolved my position (that job had nothing to do with computers or the internet) and I was let go, I focused my energy on a a way to help others achieve their website ideas, putting my own computer use and knowledge to use.

The rest of the story can be found at my new site. Perhaps not fastlane, per say. Right now, I need to replace the income lost from the job. And there is certainly room for moving into the passing lane from here. The best part about this for me is that as I am earning money for time, I will soon be able to use these same skills to have my money working for me.

I would love to have you visit my site. The link is in my sig-line. Input welcome.
