A buddy got laid off
from the company
she’d been employed at
for over 15 years.
She told me
the day after that announcement
she was starting a business.
Had she been working on
starting this business
before being laid off?
No.
Not at all.
But it is a dream of hers.
Dreams are great.
Starting a business is great.
Making decisions
immediately after
a life-changing event
is not great.
No one thinks clearly then.
There’s panic and grief and anger.
All these emotions can cloud
decision making.
Wait
for a week
after major life-changes,
if you can,
before making any big decisions.
