Downsizing continues to be a forecast certainty for 2026, including for major companies. For more than a year, I’ve witnessed a revolving door of layoffs, especially in the tech sector. And it’s hard to ignore when a behemoth like Amazon terminates 14,000 employees.
This means a lot of people are going to be looking for work. But not everyone is just willing to work for another employer. Some may decide to make a new start as the head of their own businesses.
