Yippee - I Just Got Laid Off (Continued)

I walked out of the president’s office and went to right to work. We had a very complicated Australian database management system that I was only beginning to learn how to use (I had begged for ACT! but to no avail), so it took me all afternoon to get each of my 40 vendors an email.

I told them that I was gone effective immediately, why I was leaving, and what I was doing next and asked them if they’d be interested. Then I went home and celebrated my new adventure, not knowing how it would shape out but trusting that it was for my highest good.

And the next day, Tim, the president of one of my vendor companies – and the only one of the 40 based in Dallas -- called me saying, “Your email could not have come at a better time. What you’re proposing is exactly what we’re looking for. Why don’t you flesh out your idea, email us what you’ve got and then we’ll talk?”

So I did, and so we did. I spent the rest of the week working on my concept and initial materials, and emailed Tim and his Director of Sales, Bill, what I had written and then enjoyed my holiday. It was, after all, Christmas week.

Tim, Bill and I spoke on December 27th and we agreed I would work for them as an independent contractor getting paid commissions on the sales of their products helping them get exposure and make sales in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. We signed the papers on January 3rd and I started working on January 7th.

This company makes biofeedback TENS devices - a revolutionary breakthrough in the field of pain management. Although the products are available, they couldn’t sell them until the FDA gave its blessing, and that had happened this past fall.

As with all of my jobs for 35 years, the timing on this one was so perfect I could never have orchestrated it if I had tried.

Was this “luck?” No, it was just the Law of Attraction at work, taking my thoughts of feelings and beliefs in abundance, prosperity and success and creating another incredible demonstration.

You may know the popular saying,

“If it’s going to be, it’s up to me.”

Well, knowing that the Law of Attraction is absolutely infallible, I’ve changed that saying to:

“If it’s going to be, I’ll take three.”
