Of course you know, the fact is the world has changed. Because of the downturn in the economy, people are being forced to change careers, whether they want to or not. People are being forced to make leaps, and are sometimes ending up in situations where they are in over their heads. Sometimes this is good, sometimes it’s not. But it’s happening. What this means is that people are being forced to make choices and that change is happening. And whether you’re thinking about change or not, you may have to face some of the questions we’re going to talk about tonight.
