I live in one of those cities where urban flight has left behind abandoned houses, and few jobs. That, added to current downfall of the housing market with its long-reaching effects, and the President himself saying it's going to get worse before it gets better, I am reminded of the proverb of the ant. While others are playing, we need to be working, so that when the hard times really hit, instead of being scared, we will be prepared.



I left my job in '04, they were trying to get rid of me anyway after 18 years, but I left on faith. So currently when people ask me what I'm doing, I say I'm working. And, I am, everyday, trying to redirect my goals towards entrepreneurship. I encourage everyone I speak to that is not working, get up and do something, because hard times are a coming. Get yo hustle on!
