Laid off? Start a Services Business

Getting laid off is not fun. It leaves you feeling lost and makes you doubt almost everything about yourself and your future. I know it because I got laid off years back. It was painful.

17.6 million U.S. employees experienced these emotions as they were let go in 2022.

Compared to last year, the layoff rate in 2023 has almost doubled.

But despite the pain, the truth is that getting laid off can be a blessing in disguise. It offers a blank slate and an opportunity to change your perspective on career transitions.

In this livestream, I will cover:

  • The reasons layoffs happen
  • Immediate steps to take following a layoff
  • After getting laid off, why you should consider starting a business instead of looking for another job
