Now may be the time to quit

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here. Lots of reasons for that, which I won’t go into details with now.

What I really wanted to do was touch on a subject, we have all become painfully aware of: The financial crisis. Lots of people see a lot of challenges in that, but it can also spell opportunity for many. Opportunity to go solo for instance.

If you want to quit your job for instance, now may be as good a time as ever. Because, as futurist Anne Skare Nielsen told me the other day, you can blame it on the financial crisis now. You won’t look like a leftover or anything. You’re just the innocent victim of the circumstances. And thus free to move on.

I think she has got a great point. If you’ve always dreamed about going solo, what are you really waiting for?
