Your Job Is No Longer a Safety Net

What’s your Plan B? Your boss has one. Your company has five. But you? Just one job, one income, and no leverage. Don’t wait for the next layoff memo to realise you need a backup. Security isn’t a salary — it’s ownership. Start building now.

We’ve been taught that full-time employment is safety.

But companies don’t treat it that way - they plan for volatility, hedge against risk, and always have a Plan B (and C).

Most employees? Just one income and no leverage. That’s not security - that’s dependence.

If your only plan is “stay employed,” you’re one reorg, one AI rollout, or one bad quarter from chaos.

You don’t need to quit.

But you do need to stop trusting the illusion of stability.

Start small.
Sell something.
Offer a service.
Build a second income stream.

Because the people who thrive aren’t the most loyal - they’re the most prepared.
