Here’s an interesting collection of stories from New Zealand of people who set up their own businesses after being made redundant.
Refreshingly, what has happened to these people since has not been written up in the usual relentless “success story” style. For example, where people have motives other than the desire to get rich (for example revenge or the desire to spend more time gardening) these are reflected in the story.
Sample quote: “But we don’t want to put our money into the business”, says Elaine [one half of a successful garden tools company]. “We want to buy a boat and go down the canals in Europe.”
