I understand the fear. But the key is to use that fear in a positive way. Keep learning new things. Broaden your skills. Constantly look at the job market. Envision yourself working at another place. You'll quickly realize that there is life beyond the walls of your workplace, and that YOU are bigger than any one job.
Remember, you work for YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY. They are your corporation, your shareholders. |
