” …Turbulence causes opportunities for success, achievement and pushes us to discover new ways of doing things.”
How many of you reading this blog post found yourselves making an unplanned career change in the last three years? Sign of the times, seriously. Happily, we’re in the same boat with you. When our situation changed we embraced it and saw it as the opportunity we had been waiting for to finally create the business we had been talking about for years.
Before we knew it we were helping like-minded,scrappy entrepreneur types build their own businesses. This gig isn’t for everyone, but the hard work and freedom tend to balance each other out. Besides, more than ever before people don’t seem to be suffering from the illusion known as ‘job security.’ Being your own boss puts you in the drivers seat of your own career.
A few months ago we got to view a short film on this same topic by Eric Proulx of Please Feed the Animals. The film is called, Lemonaid – It’s not a pink slip it’s a blank page. It features a handful of creatives who have lost their jobs in the recent economic decline and what they’ve done about it now. Most of them are still working in a creative capacity and most of them report a much deeper sense of personal satisfaction, otherwise known as happiness.
What do you do when life hands you lemons?
