The last time I was laid off due to politics I was pretty PO'd. On the way home I decided I was done with corporate america their 💩, and was going to try and take my part time business full time. I told the wife I'll float some resumes which I did. I spent 300.00 on a color printer, made some flyers and started hitting the shows littering interiors. leas than 8 weeks later I dropped unemployment as i didn't need it.
That was in 2001, I was up to 4 employees, made some mistakes along the way, but am heading into part time retirement. Would i do it again? In a heartbeat, BUT I would definitely do some things different
