Part 3/7:
The speaker shares insights drawn from a lifelong career as a freelancer. They emphasize the mental frame of continuously searching for the next opportunity, contrasting it with a more stagnant work environment. The principle of treating unemployment as a job—actively pursuing opportunities, reconnecting with past clients, and exploring alternative industries—is a practical approach for anyone feeling boxed in by their current role.
With a skill set honed over years in Goldsmithing, the speaker suggests exploring other avenues where these skills might be applicable. This could involve side gigs or transitioning into different industries altogether. Such adaptability is vital in a world that rapidly evolves and often necessitates diversified skill sets.
