So there you were… you were gainfully employed and life was good!
Then all of a sudden… BAM! The news that you have been dreading… all of a sudden your life has drastically changed. You became one of the millions of Americans who are unemployed. Although you are not alone in being unemployed, your particular situation is individual to you and your family .

L – Launch into ActionA – Adjust as you go
N – Network with those who know
I can not think of a better situation in order to apply the PLAN than dealing with unemployment. Just like any good plan, you need to spend some time thinking and talking about it. You should also write it down and look at it everyday to make sure you are staying on-track.
