If you’ve been in business long enough, you know one truth: Never stand too firmly on a carpet. Why? Because it can be pulled out from under you at any time. This month alone, Intel laid off 15,000 employees, and Tesla followed with 14,500 job cuts. In 2024, the tech industry has already seen over 130,000 positions vanish. Here’s the reality: Anyone can be affected by a layoff. It’s up to you to take control of your future. Build a personal brand that stands out. A strong personal brand opens doors. Opportunities will come to you. You can start by: • Connecting with leaders in your industry. • Sharing insights that add value. • Documenting your career journey. • Engaging through comments and direct messages. Invest a little time each day before or after work. It’s a small effort that makes a huge impact. This isn’t just a consultants or solopreneurs game. Whether you’re in a big tech company or a small business, your voice matters. Create content today. Start shaping your personal brand. Start now… because when you need it, it might be too late.
