It happened again the other day…

Now that Thanksgiving is over, I can share this.

It happened again the other day.  I got a call from a friend who had been laid off.  I know what you are thinking, Chuck you live in Detroit, surprise!  Well, actually this makes 5 friends in as many weeks and they all had two things in common.

1.  They did not live in the Midwest.

2.  They all have advanced degrees.

These folks all have great knowledge.  Stuff that would be useful to way more than just one company.  We are going to be taking advantage of that in the weeks and months ahead and forging some new paths.  It got me thinking about ruts and moving ahead, so I wanted to share a few things that I ran across.  Maybe a few minutes checking this stuff out will be the boost you need going into 2010.  I know I am excited about the abundance that is starting to unfold in the new year and I hope that if you are not, you soon will be.

The first is an interview that Dan Schawbel did with Libby Gill.

If your not familiar with Libby, here website is here.  Dan was good enough to put a short video of another interview with Libby in the piece and it is well worth the few minutes to view.

You can access Dan’s interview with Libby here.

The second resource is from Jim Kukral.  Jim is the Biz Web Coach and provides tons of great information.  You can check out his personal site here.

The specific post that I want to direct you to though is called How do you know when it’s time to change gears?

Let me know what you think.  Are you gearing up for a great 2010?
