Did you know that 40% of Americans are laid off at least once in their career? 

Additionally, those who get laid off also end up facing negative financial impacts years (and sometimes even decades) later.

The unfortunate truth is that layoffs are becoming more and more common. And whether the impact is direct or indirect, people who have experienced a layoff have historically paid a BIG price.

Layoffs can create anxiety and make you feel like you’ve lost control over your future. This, in turn, affects how you feel about yourself and your worth. You feel like you have to settle for whatever comes, and the salary that comes with it, regardless of whether it’s something you really want to do.

But, it doesn't have to be that way.  

Today on The Bridge to FulfillmentⓇ, Blake shares how you can take back control of your life and career. There is a proven path that can have you looking back at your layoff as the best thing that ever happened to you!
