Hi Erica,

solid financial plan? Not really. More like a wing and a prayer!

And plenty of visualization, positive thinking, Abraham-Hicks techniques, etc.

But I do have marketable skills and intend to use them. In a pinch, I can always sell my writing skills (I just learned. When I needed cash fast, it materialized very quickly. Of course, I'll be writing my fingers off for another week or two to fulfill all the orders, but that's okay). Or my tutoring skills. Or my teaching business writing workshop skills. Or my WordPress blog creation skills, or...

And I might even get another academic job, only this time sans debt!

But actually, I rather like the freedom of IM ;-)

And yes, I know all about "investing" in assorted ebooks, courses and programs, and I'm doing that too, but I see myself on the upward swing where this is starting to pay off.

About the timing of making money... I think I'm well into that 6-9 months, and I've made about two grand in commissions in the last 6 weeks or so! Now I plan to promote that person's programs even more... (plus others).

I'm also in several coaching programs and I'm learning like gangbusters.

As an update for everybody:

I'm feeling happier and more relaxed than I have in YEARS! Considering that I'm out of a job and I've taken a big leap without a net, I'm feeling great!

I have even discovered that I don't have to clean out my retirement account completely, and will still get a lot more than I had originally anticipated.

It was definitely the right decision.

Thanks,
