Hard Times: Part One

Recently I came across an interesting article on Yahoo.com that shows a Florida man that went from "CEO to Delivering Pizza." The article states that at one point he made around $750,000 per year and now he's making $7.29 per hour.

Something is clearly wrong with this story. Why he can't find a job that uses some of his skills and experience? Seriously, your telling me a man with an MBA from UCLA can not land a management or consulting job? The economy in Florida is bad but it's not that bad.

It just doesn't add up. Has he given up? Is there another motive? I plan to follow this story to better understand it. I also plan to use the story as motivation to drive awareness for planning.

Life has challenges and we must face them head on to reach our goals and dreams. We can not let hard times keep us down and we must plan for these hard times. Plan to work and work the plan to be successful!
