Made redundant after 19 years đŸ„ș

Published 9 days ago ‱ 1 min read

I received a heartbreaking email.

He had just been made redundant from his corporate job:

19 years.

That’s over 5,000 days he gave to this company.

The best and most productive part of his life.

  • Weekends.
  • Late nights.
  • Vacations he never took.
  • Time with his kids he’ll never get back.

And how did they thank him?

They didn’t.

He woke up to a cold, lifeless email.

"Effective immediately due to economic conditions..."

No handshake.
No meeting.
No dignity.

Just: you’re done.

Nineteen years in. And they ghosted him

This is the corporate game.

You play until they don't need you.

Then you’re tossed out like bad Durian.

The only real safety?

Is building something they can’t take away.

I help solopreneurs do exactly that.

And on Thursday, 8th May at 1:00pm AEST, I’m running a LIVE workshop:

Build Your One-Person Business In Less Than 1 Hour Per Day

In it, you’ll learn:

  • How to turn your knowledge into a freedom-generating business.
  • The 60-minute system I used while still working full-time.
  • Why waiting for "the right time" is the biggest lie you've been sold.

It’s $9.99.

Less than your next Uber Eats regret.

​Click here to join the workshop.​

Tickets are available for 4 more days.

You can either build your own thing


Or keep praying the next email isn’t the one that ends everything.

Stay Limitless,

Michael ‘these jobs ain’t loyal’ Lim

I was at a start-up event last night. It was hosted by an incubator called Catalysr. These were early-stage start-up founders. One of the speakers was a seasoned entrepreneur. He could have talked about anything. Fundraising, product-market fit, hiring to scale. Nope. He talked about one thing. The power of networks. He said this: “Your network will determine your success.” He talked about how his first start-up failed. And he went broke. The one thing that saved him? The people he knew. Not...

My email yesterday struck a chord. I received emails like this: While I love hearing from you guys, these emails break my heart I can’t help but feel terrible. I know exactly what it was like to be in this position. I’m not in my 60s, but I’m familiar with being and feeling stuck. 2 years ago, my first business was failing me. I did well in my first year. But I didn’t build my sales engine. My clients ghosted me. A big proposal fell through. I got hit with a massive tax bill. I couldn’t deny...

I would say sorry, but I’m not sorry at all. In fact, I enjoyed it. And he started it. (So it’s really his fault) Matt reached out to work with me last year. He told me he was stuck. He couldn’t crack a monthly income goal. He had been working with a coach who wasn’t getting any results. Even after six months of work together. He still had: No sales system. No offer clarity. No real progress. When we started together, we tore down his biz. Rebuilt his offers. Simplified his message....
