My full-time job left me in August 2025 (they laid off 300 other people). I am looking for a full-time job to replace it, but in the meantime, I have been working on my own small business. I know that it can take 2-3 years to get a small business off the ground and make real money. For now, it would be to have (keep) a full-time job for at least 5 years and then replace it with my small business and a few side hustles.
