Summary

If you have been laid off during this time there are three things you need to do to get back on your feet. First you need to get motivated, motivation will get you up, get you back up, and get you started, then you have to transition that into inspiration. Next you need to be radically humble, ask people "do you know anyone that can help me?" Treat every person as a sponsor or power sponsor. You cannot be afraid to ask for help, remember the easiest way to get what you want is to ask someone who sits in the situation you want to be in, and ask them for directions to get there. Third, take your skills, knowledge, and desires and apply those to what is doing well right now. If you want me to answer your question on the podcast, tweet me @davidmeltzer or email me a video of you asking me a question and I will answer it for a future episode!
