Lessons learned from about half a year of unemployment

Lessons learned from about half a year of unemployment

First, I am grateful to have savings and investments that support my life and a part-time job.

Even with these restricted supplies, I finally understand what is wrong at most workplaces.

Immediately after I finished secondary school at eighteen age, I started to work.

It has been twenty-seven years of hard work, from eighteen to forty-five, while I continuously tried to keep up with the challenges.

Parallel with the work, I mainly focused on how I could solve my employer's problems.

It was a win-win situation because I always created a more significant value for my employer than my work cost. Sometimes, even in a year, the savings were the amount that an employer would pay for 100 years as salary.

The farewell was always a moment when I never got an excellent disconnection, typically when people say - I would never consider returning - while I know it is not a good strategy in business.

After two months of unemployment, I realized what was wrong with most companies. They promote so many legacy problems that they bind all cognitive capacity.

During this process, the mind starts to transform. Instead of focusing on the future, it focuses on past problems. Suddenly, all innovations focus on the legacy, while real inventions are always something new!

And this process was broken with my resignation.

First, I had the concept and started focusing on investments, which released me from the job market—but those who know me know these do not capture my creativity.

So, I started working on something new. I envisioned the revolutionary application platform MonetaPlatform, which creates a secure environment for future applications.

After three months of development, when I received feedback from all investors that I was too small for such a project, I changed my focus.

I started to build an entirely AI-agent enterprise that can employ tens of thousands of AI employees to work for me.

So that's my journey now.

So, what is the lesson I learned?

Life is too short to run in the squirrel wheel. If a company pushes their employees to their legacy problems, they will lose the innovations.

I would send all my colleagues to work on any significant project for two months, about every three years. The lessons they learned during this period can significantly improve the company's innovation capabilities.

And to be honest, what is the cost of two months of salary compared to losing the future? It is peanuts.

The world will change, and I know how and when. The countdown started, and the decision was yours. Are you waiting for a disaster, or do you want to be on the winning side?

The decision is yours!

If you can see job loss or any other life changing event as a gift for yourself and your self development, then you can start enjoying the process… Of course you first have to feel some grief because you’ve lost something, but start already realizing you get new opportunities to do what you never would have done otherwise! With this in mind I did quit my job at the start of this year, just to see how my life would develop… in complete trust everything will be fine, and it did! Many new things came my way! Thank you so much for your inspiration!
