Before you Resign ask yourself these Questions...

Recently LinkedIn’s Senior Editor Andrew Seaman reached out to get my response on what is being called “The Great Resignation.” 

Here is what's happening:

?? Many people are thinking of shaking up their careers as COVID-19 restrictions are lifted and economies improve.

?? Experts are predicting a “Great Resignation” due to people wanting to move on and try something new.

?? Surveys show anywhere from 25% to upwards of 40% of workers are thinking about quitting their jobs.

I have seen many people quit their jobs to pursue their dream of owning a business or to become an entrepreneur only to fail. That is because talent or a great idea is often not enough.

Other than working as a Registered Nurse for a few years, I have been successfully self employed for 30 years.

I’ve always had the entrepreneurial spirit or what I call the “unemployable spirit.”

Are you “unemployable?”

1. Are comfortable with taking constant risks?
2. Are a natural leader?
3. Can you create something form nothing?
4. Are you disciplined and can complete goals?
5. Do you love to learn and master new skills?
6. Do you have the stamina to hustle like your life depends on it? (because it ofter does)
7. Are you are willing to make sacrifices?
8. Are you resourceful?
9. Do you have a network?
10. Are you willing to embrace and learn technology?
11. Are you ok with failing? A LOT!
12. Do you thrive when your life is on the leading edge?
13. You would never dream of choosing a job because of its health insurance… yes or no?
14. Can you recognize when to pivot and take fast action?
15. Are you passionate? 

If you have answered YES to most of these questions then congrats you are unemployable. I can’t wait t see what you create!
