No one puts “get laid off” on their five-year plan.
But sometimes, the path to success doesn’t look like a straight line—it looks like a left turn. For many of the entrepreneurs at RISE, job loss wasn’t the end. It was the beginning. Maybe you’ve been there: ???? Let go from a job you outgrew ???? Burned out from corporate life ???? Stuck in a career that no longer fit And then suddenly—space opened up. Not just in your calendar, but in your life.That’s when something powerful can happen. You stop waiting for a job to give you permission to grow. You create your own opportunity.
