The Great Pivot - I need 20 of you to help me prove something
I've been thinking a lot about the moment everything changed for me. Not the heart attack. Not the bankruptcy. Not even the 800th rejection email. It was the moment I stopped asking "Why won't anyone hire me?" and started asking "Why am I still begging them to?" That shift - from job seeker to builder - changed everything. I went from $0 to $2,500/month on Medium in a few months. Added ghostwriting clients. Built this community to 560+ people. Created a course. Now I'm making $1,500-3,500/month depending on how the algorithms treat me that week. It's not retirement money. But it's mine. No boss can take it away. No HR department can decide I'm too old or too expensive. Here's what I'm building: It's called The Great Pivot. A framework for people like us - the ones who did everything right and still got rejected. The ones who are already unemployed and desperate. And the ones who are still working but watching colleagues get laid off and know they're next. Eight modules. Ninety days. Real income, not theory. Here's what it covers: - Module 1: Why the job market failed you (the brutal data on age discrimination, ATS systems, why your experience became a liability) - Module 2: Reverse engineering your life (designing what you actually want, then building income to match it) - Module 3: The content system (Reddit validation, writing that converts, building your platform) - Module 4: Your first income stream (freelancing, digital products, or content - get to $500/month) - Module 5: Your second stream (diversify for resilience, stack to $2,000-3,000/month) - Module 6: The Side Door Method (how to bypass HR and land clients on your terms through LinkedIn) - Module 7: Don't burn out (sustainability, rest as strategy, picking your one big bet) - Module 8: Your 90-day build plan (week by week, what to do Monday, when to pivot) This isn't theoretical. This is exactly what I did to go from unemployable to building multiple income streams. It's what people in this community are already doing. I'm just organizing it into a system that can be replicated.

Oh no - I just saw this. I would love to join as well. I'm 57 and my partner is 63. We were both "restructured" out of our corporate jobs over the past 2.5 years and after umpteen bazillion (rounded up) applications with no job offers (and few interviews) we've both decided to start our own businesses. He's working with partners who were let go at the same time as he was from his job and I'm doing the solopreneur thing. We've blown through our savings in the 2.5 years and have just sold our only car to save on monthly expenses and are determined not to have to sell our home as well.
