I’ve worked with hundreds (maybe even thousands) of wonderfully talented folks who’ve been on the receiving end of a company downsizing. I’ve been downsized myself. It’s brutal. I remember the feelings I had when it last happened to me, in 2001. I felt like a loser. I felt a lot of fear. In my case, I even felt relief. That particular cocktail of emotions stayed with me for awhile. But, life goes on, and here we are.
I work for myself. Me. The transition was tough. Lots of things are tough. Starting a franchise business is tough.

In this video, I mentioned a website- Franchise Online University.
