The company I'd worked for was being sold for $18 million, one month and one day after September 11, 2001. Surely you recall the post-9/11 haze. The dreamlike stupor. Customers froze. Phones stopped ringing. Purchase orders stopped. A week later I went to a trade show. People physically showed up, but mentally everyone was checked out. For a couple of weeks I commuted to work each day. Going through the motions. I answered the occasional email. Agitating in my cubicle, surfing the web and checking out stuff on EBay. Waiting for the world to return to normal. The company acquiring us made me a job offer. The job offer was not so great. But it still looked very attractive, considering the vacant Chicago air space and the silent phones. Quit your job in the midst of that kind of turmoil? You'd have to be crazy to walk away from any job in such circumstances. That's what my coworkers told me. I also had a few relatives who said starting a business right now is insanity. But my wife, Laura, had different ideas. Laura said, "Perry, if you've ever had a chance to strike out on your own, this is IT. You should bail." She had more confidence in me than I did. Still I needed a sanity check, additional confirmation. I consulted my mastermind group. Suzy Seay, a financial planner, said, "The fact that "most folks aren't risking new ventures right now" means there is great opportunity out there. It's not as risky as you think – but you won't be able to see it clearly until you take the leap." I took the leap. Three weeks later, the first paying client kicks in. "This thing's going to work. I'm not going back!" Turned out that what most thought was the WORST time to bail was actually one of the very best. I believe we are in that same air space again. A brave few will take the leap and secure their future NOW. Most will not. Most will cling, emotionally and financially, to the way things used to be…hoping and praying they will return in time to save them. They will not.
