Start budgeting for free today.

So last week on Friday, I lost my job.

I was going through a, it was a second time I was late on the clock.

My manager surprised me at work and it unfortunately turned into a termination.

I've since come and spoke with my parents about this, and they're very supportive.

But I'm concerned about how to I explain this to future employers in different interviews.

Yeah.

Well, the truth shall set you free, and I think that you've got to learn from this.

And I think one of the ways to learn from this. And I think one of the ways to learn from

this is to own it and go, this is what happened. And treat it as though this were testimony

in the court that you were being recorded because, you know, you need to understand it's very

possible that future employers are going to call this boss or check your references. And so I want to look at somebody who can say, you know what,

I showed up late. It was my second time. And here's what I've learned from that. And I learned

that this is a weakness. And man, did I learn my lesson? You know, because I read biographies all

the time of some of the most respected people in the world, women, men.

And what I find fascinating when I read these biographies, Jade, is that they share a lot of the stuff they did wrong.

That's right.

And I don't close the book and go, well, that's it, Stacey.

I'm in chapter three, and I just found out that so-and-so did something dumb. I got to get a new biography where only the people

that do great stuff. I mean, I'm sitting next to a very, very successful lady who your whole

line all the time is how much debt you got into. Mistake after mistake. And then paid it off.
