A positive thought on a sad day

Today TV 2 Denmark - my former employer - announced the details of a financial recovery plan that will see more than 200 positions go away along with cutbacks on the budgets of approx 200 million Danish kroner (approx. 50 million USD) this year. Its a really, really tough plan.

Naturally I’m thinking about good colleagues loosing their jobs while being completely without any fault in how things turned out. But while being sad on their behalf, I feel happy as well. Happy that I’m not a part of this. Happy that I made the decision to quit and embark on my own venture almost 9 months ago.

Of course there are a lot of challenges running and supporting your own business. Some of them are tougher than others. And sometimes you do want to quit. But on a sad day like this you cherish the decision you made. And you allow yourself to be happy.
