Working HARD and working LONG HOURS with very little personal gain to show for it is an excellent definition of SLAVERY. Yet, so many sign-up for that option daily, and they do so voluntarily. The longer these people stay in those jobs, the lower their quality of life, the tighter the noose around their necks and the economic slavery is locked in as the new lifestyle.  

Historically, slaves were not compensated for their work, an Economic slave is poorly compensated for their work.  I define Economic slavery as a job with long hours or back-breaking work, a hard-ass Boss, zero growth opportunity and a pay so small, that it barely covers the necessities of life.  

Instead of giving up the job most give up on their dreams. SAD!

What you need is an exit strategy.  Sometimes being fired is a blessing in disguise because some of you won't decide to leave that noose tightening job unless you are fired and forced to find another income source.  Fired or not, no one is handing you a 'Get Out Of Jail' card.  You may just have to create your own escape, but first you must DECIDE to escape economic slavery.  DECIDE to create your better life.

Having decided to escape, the next step is to take inventory of your skills, interests, resources and network.  Several times the Bible shows that we already have the seed to our harvest.  The Widow in 2 Kings 4:1-7 had her flask of oil, Moses had his walking stick, the disciples had 5 loaves and 2 fish.  God continues to ask us today, "What is in your hand?"

Let's talk Exit Strategy so you can move in the direction of your life of purpose and power.
