“Hunkering down includes the narrowing of your focus. Lessening your distractions. Keeping the main thing the main thing. Staying on task. It involves keeping your mind set, from the beginning, on the joy that will come with reaching your goal at the end.”

“The fact is that when it comes to job loss, you and I need to prepare for it more than we have. Employment statistics aren’t necessarily doom and gloom, but they do serve as fair warning. Layoffs occur. Downsizing happens. What seems so secure one day can take a drastic downturn overnight.”
