I've Been UPSIZED: Chapter 11

The Fear of Commitment…

In my last post, I promised that something new was coming, something big. In reality, two things have happened over the past couple of weeks, one of which surprised me.
After months of searching for a job, I decided that I may not be ready to give my heart to another so soon after a breakup. I imagine this downsizing business is a bit like any breakup. It’s a scary proposition to start dating again. It’s even scarier when your date proposes to you. When the job offers came in, I just didn’t feel ready for the commitment.
The Singles Scene          

So, I decided to take matters into my own hands. On April 21st, I made my single status official with the launch of a new marketing consulting business, Marketing Flexibility, LLC. At Marketing Flexibility, we provide flexible marketing resource to businesses and organizations on either long term or project basis. Kind of playing the field, so to speak.
If you have a few minutes to kill, let’s do some online match making. Check out Marketing Flexibility on the web or on Facebook.

Here’s the Thing…

Being single is hard work. When you’re in a serious employment relationship, there’s comfort in the daily monotony (and plenty of pens in the supply cabinet). The first time I reached for a stapler, it hit me. I didn’t have a stapler! As the first week played out, I also realized I didn’t have a paperclip or envelopes. After all, it’s the little things that we take for granted in a relationship. But, like anyone who’s lost possessions in a breakup, I hit Ikea to get back up and running. I got a new stapler – a better stapler – a green stapler! I was back in business – my own business!
For a Good Time Marketer, Call…
