			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few weeks ago I was interviewed briefly by BusinessWeek for an article on people affected by the current economic situation. I&#8217;m one of the individuals they call a &#8220;Rebounder&#8221; or someone who decides to start their own venture rather than just looking for another job.</p>
<p>You can read the full article <a href="http://www.businessweek.com/smallbiz/content/mar2009/sb20090312_782469.htm?chan=smallbiz_smallbiz+index+page_top+small+business+stories">After Layoffs, Starting a Business from Scratch</a> or skip ahead to my profile <a href="http://images.businessweek.com/ss/09/03/0313_rebounders/26.htm">The Rebounders: Chris Bailey</a>.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a nice write-up and I appreciate the additional exposure for new solopreneur venture: <a href="http://www.chrisbaileyworks.com">Chris Bailey Consulting Works</a>. Think of it as the action-oriented business that envelopes the ideas discussed here at Bailey WorkPlay and at <a href="http://www.gravit8.com">Gravit8 Social Marketing.</a></p>
<p>If there&#8217;s one thing I wish the folks at BusinessWeek had highlighted, it was my work with <a href="http://www.jobangels.org">JobAngels</a>. I spent a quarter of the interview talking about this aspect of my solo work, but it didn&#8217;t make the profile. Oh well.</p>
<p>Read the profiles of other Rebounders. If you&#8217;ve been laid off or sense that it&#8217;s coming around the corner, know that it doesn&#8217;t have to be an end. It can be a beginning, too. As Patti Tower, one of the Rebounders interviewed, noted: &#8220;I feel set free rather than laid off.&#8221;</p>
