About a year and a half ago, I was laid off—right in the middle of my parental leave.
It was sad, but at the same time, it felt like a relief. I could finally spend time with my newborn and my wife without constantly thinking about work.
But to be honest, I almost didn’t have any days off. Here are a few things I accomplished during that time:
- Launched 11 projects
- Earned my first income as an online entrepreneur
- Started my own web agency and worked with several clients
- Struggled to find new clients and monetize my projects
- Helped my friend to create a proper marketing for her news startup
- Applied to a few hundred roles and had dozens of good (and some really bad) interviews
None of these things were easy, but each one was 100% worth trying.
And this Monday, I started working at an amazing startup (AI-led, of course!) with smart people and exciting projects.
And I like it.
