Fired from my job today
Got blindsided today. Let go from my remote software sales job without much warning.
Spent most of the day processing it and mapping out what's next. Honestly, I saw the writing on the wall since our whole sales team has been missing targets, but it still hits different when it actually happens.
The good news is I prepared for this. Got 8 months of liquid reserves saved up, so I'm not scrambling in panic mode.
I own my part in this. Enterprise software sales at early stage startups is brutal and unstable. I chose to pivot from finance into this career for the remote flexibility to live in Brazil and do the things I love. That freedom came with risk, and now I'm paying the price.
But here's the thing: this just lit a massive fire under me. No safety net means no excuses. Time to lock in harder than I ever have.
Next 1-2 days I'm cutting the fat from my budget and building a real plan. Then I'm executing a 3 pronged attack:
- Land my next job through consistent daily action
- Launch a freelance offer using my sales and marketing skills so I control my income
- Keep building my personal brand and Skool community as a long term play
Obstacles are opportunities. This is my chance to level up. Appreciate any wisdom or encouragement from you guys as I navigate this next chapter.
