I talked to a lot of recently laid-off people this week.

Like, more than usual.

​

And as common as layoffs are these days.

More in some industries than others.

The same emotions remain…

​

Shock. Disappointment. Confusion.

Anger. Blame. Resentment.

Fear. Disorientation. Disillusionment.

​

And perhaps the worst?

Betrayal.

​

The unceremonious yank of the rug by a place you thought of as home.

​

If you’ve been out on your own for a while…

Even if you’re in the midst of a dry spell

Or you feel like the roller-coaster is sometimes too much

Remember the rug that you stand on is firmly in place, by your design.

Even if you don’t bill a dollar that day, every interaction and conversation is a seed planted in your business.

That will go with you, and grow with you, whichever direction you take.

​

And if you’re just joining us on this side.

Welcome to your new home.

You can lay your own rug out here.

And stay as long as you’d like.
