I know so many are concerned about layoffs including myself, but this whole situation has made me want to position myself to never rely on a corporation for my livelihood again!! It’s time to do some thinking and reposition ourselves for success. Have to define what that looks like for you!

We are launching our own firm this week. 6 former partners, 6 advisory board members who are current industry senior guys. We have a handful of clients already, are adding employees as we grow. Everyone has equity, everyone shares in the success, no offices so our overhead is minimal - all WFH or at the client. Doesn’t take a lot to make this model work, and totally agree that working for the ‘machine’ isn’t worth the stress.

What's the alternative here? Rely on passive income from the stock market, or your own business that is equally (if not more so) vulnerable to fluctuations in the market? If anything, this crisis has shown me the value of being associated with an audit firm with relatively recurring revenues...

To each his own. For me, the idea is to create/ produce something I can scale or sell. I’m stepping grout of my comfort zone and bringing the ideas that I’ve had for a while to life. What talents, skills, ideas do you have to capitalize on? I do understand that some people are more comfortable with the “stability” that comes from having a corporate job. You do what’s comfortable for you.

Thoughts?
