After wiping away the tears, I knew we had no choice. My husband got fired? Well, that was a company's decision, but it was not going to ruin our life. Unless we let it.

I got BOLD! and creative. The only way to get the upper hand on this situation was to turn the tables upside down and Party! You can just imagine my husband's reaction the first time I suggested we throw a party because he got fired; I realized he needed a little more time.

Eventually he agreed and we surrounded ourselves with friends and asked for their help: what would they do in our situation?

Our home filled with almost everyone we knew and some we barely knew. No one could resist helping…and who in their right mind celebrated losing their job? It was a party like no other.

I watched as David's entire perspective changed, he bounced back to his typically positive attitude, and it changed our whole approach to work and life.

This experience was captured in a powerfully unique business, which quickly became a national media darling, my trademarked *I Got Fired! Party*.

The BOLD! Factor in action...it's not what happens to you, it's how you respond that matters!
