The safety of a job is an illusion, albeit a persistent one
​
​I've been laid off a couple of times
​
​Each time was met with shock and fear... and a bit of sadness and anger too

The gift in it though was I was always mobilized to take immediate action towards a purposeful result

Whether I needed to learn a programming language in a weekend or DM every recruiter I'd collected on LinkedIn from the previous 12 months I was ON IT!

After jumping into entrepreneurship it was that times 10!

But as I have stumbled along the way there are little "oh crap" moments throughout that required me to shift total focus, just like before

So I now look back at getting laid off with a fondness, as the first sign that I could get a lot done in a little bit of time and level up quickly!

Have you ever gotten laid off?  What was it like for you?
