I will soon be 57 and I had been looking for that new career that I am passionate about. I didn't have time to focus on it nor the money to do anything. I was trying to get out of debt by following Dave Ramsey's plan. I hated my last few jobs and I knew there had to be a better way. I was truly miserable. Well on February 4th I was informed that I was one of nine people laid off due to not winning a re-compete on a government contract and the organization unable to absorb the resources due…See More

Kent Julian said… - Hello Karen,
I try to take time each week to welcome new members to 48Days.Net. So, let me say "welcome" to you! I know you will find this to be a great site filled with people who are experiencing true success in both life and work.
One thing I noticed on your profile is that you are self-employed looking to start your own business. That's great!
Also, I'd like to point out that one of the best places to connect with other liked-minded people here is in the GROUPS section. There are groups for just about every interest you can think of, and if you can't find a group that interests you, you can start one. Groups are my favorite part of 48Days.Net!
Finally, if you happen to be a speaker or author (or want to become either), check out these two groups. They are two of the most popular groups on the site because of all the great conversation taking place:
* Speak It Forward -- REAL Success and Profit for Speakers!
* Write It Forward -- REAL Success and Profit for Writers!
Again, enjoy 48Days.Net. It's a great place to be!
Live it forward,
Kent Julian
