We all know it’s bad…really bad. But that being said, I have had the fortune of meeting some people who had the wind knocked out of them – only to get back up. They got laid off, or left their jobs on their own will – and decided to turn their bad situation into good fortune.
For the next 10 weeks, you will hear from 10 people – in their own words, about how they were kicked down, and got back up. This is how they did it.
Barbara Kahn
For Barbara Kahn, this is a second career change, later in life. She worked in medical records for years, which provided a steady income for her and her family. Once her children left the nest, she knew she wanted a change. She also admits she always enjoyed the idea of becoming a Justice of the Peace.
One day, she met a woman at a party who was a Justice of the Peace. She gave her solid steps about what she needed to do to become certified. Kahn continued her work as a medical records specialist as she took the course work to gain certification.
People began to really connect with Kahn’s warm style, and soon she was becoming a popular Justice of the Peace. Her business is now thriving.
