I worked for a company for 9 years and was constantly overlooked for promotions. Once I graduated with a MBA I left and went to another company. I was laid off 8 months later. I have been thinking this may be a blessing in disguise and thinking about self employment. I just hope it works out for me like it did for Will. Thanks for the inspirational story!

I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “Insanity is doing the same things over and over again and expecting different results.” Will got out of an insane (or at least negative) environment and invited happiness back into his life. Truly inspiring!

The thing that stands out to me? How he uncovers millions in potential business for a company and they just can’t be asked. And he did the right thing! Rather than try to convince a bonehead, just move on…

This is very true. I talk to a lot of small business owners who are very happy with what they do. One of the first questions I ask is “how did you get into doing what you’re doing?” .

About 70% of the time, the answer starts with “I was made redundant. I’d always harboured a dream to do xyz, but that was what gave me the push.”

When one door closes another opens, (everyone knows this) but often people forget there’s usually a long hallway in between and we see that in this example.

One important lesson I gained from this post is that despite Tim’s struggles “he is happier than ever”. Thanks for inspiring us.

That’s a great story! Thanks for sharing. Every problem contains within it the seed of an equal or greater opportunity or benefit. I think Napoleon Hill said that many years ago. Wise words.
