"If I'm going to work to give 110% to my company, '(Your Name) Incorporated' every day, the company I'm connected with (my job) can't help but make money."

An expanding mindset exists in Americans that being laid off is a personal decision, but in fact, it's only business. The company is in business to make money, period.

I am going to provide you with the direction and tools needed to get your career situation on track.
