#38: 🐍 Your Job Feels Safe… Until It Isn’t


🐍 The Store Looked Safe — Until It Wasn’t

A boutique in Queensland was about to open for the day.
✨ Cute clothes. Great lighting. Chill vibes.
Everything felt normal…

Until someone spotted an eastern brown snake slithering through the racks like it was shopping for summer wear. 😱
The store shut down immediately.
Snake catcher called.
Crisis narrowly avoided.

Here’s what hit me:

Your job can feel just as safe… until it’s not.

No one sees it coming:
🔻 Layoffs
🔻 Restructuring
🔻 Burnout

One day you’re smashing KPIs...
The next, you're holding a cardboard box and walking out.

It’s not because you’re lazy.
It’s not because you’re not good enough.
It’s because depending on one income stream is like hoping the snake never bites.

And that’s why this newsletter exists:
To help you build something real, diversified, and under your control.

Let’s dive into this week’s roadmap to freedom. 🧭

💬 Let’s Talk

The store in Australia called a professional and handled the threat.
They reopened stronger.

But when the “snake” hits your career — who’s going to save you?

HR? Nope.
Loyalty? Not enough.
Overtime? Forget it.

What will save you?

  • Investing in skills.
  • Creating income streams.
  • Building systems that don’t collapse overnight.

If everything seems fine right now — good.
Use that calm to build.
Because when the storm comes (and it always does) — you’ll be ready. 🌪️


You got this! 💪🏻
