4. ■ Reassess the situation as it is on paper.
Without the story, without the guilt or self-
shame or comparison to colleagues who did
keep their jobs.

your head where you can see it and start to
process it.

7. ■ Plan out your career and even develop a life
plan. Do you want to live where you are?
Are/were you doing the type of work you love?
Is it time to start that online business or lose
20kg?

come up, challenges and obstacles will need to
be overcome, but much less than if we have a
plan.

because you've studied the market trends and

take market share. You might even have a few
methods for ideating up your sleeve.

of months. I enjoy connecting with people -
you never know where it can lead in the future.
