I was let go. Not due to anything I did wrong, or that my work wasn't up to par - I was far exceeding every expectation - but the simple fact was that there just wasn't any money coming in. Marketing - that was me - was generating dozens, even hundreds, of leads but the leads weren't being closed. No sales = no cashflow, no cashflow = layoff. So whom do they lay off? The guy that gets the leads.
Seems rather silly if you ask me but so be it. |
Not surprising though. Marketing people are easier to get rid of than sales. Why? Because Marketing = Potential Sales. Sales = Sales.
I know it doesn't make sense, but from a shortsighted bonehead top level decision maker's point of view, it does. I wouldn't take it as something you did wrong though.
Perhaps your LoA manifesting abilities kicked in and you manifested yourself out of a job to pursue what you love doing. When I was broke, almost bankrupt and jobless 8 years ago what I did is I decided I wanted to make a living running my own thing, but to pay for bills I went and got a job. However, I attracted a job that allowed me to grow and learn how business works and runs.
If you figure out what your passion/purpose is, and you make a decision to not allow this kind of stupid stuff to happen to you anymore by not participating in the corporate rat race anymore, you can kind of just use the corporate setup to learn what you need to learn. For example, lets say you want to start a marketing company of your own eventually, you could get a job at a print shop for a while and learn all about that, or something related to your business. Know what I mean? basically get paid to learn what you need to learn.
You can check out my site as well. My theme is helping people to make money doing what they love. The Passion Project eBook I wrote might help you find your passion/purpose as well.
Just some suggestions...
U can also ask Steve what he suggests. His opinion is to just quit if you're not doing what you enjoy, so you're kind of in that same place now.
