Here’s a great article that I found on the San Francisco Business Times site.

Laid off? Some say it's the best time to start a business by Rachel Witkowski, Staff Writer, for the Jacksonville Business Journal.

Witkowski writes about emerging entrepreneurs who are coming out of corporate America downsizing.   She gives real live stories about using layoffs as an opportunity start a new business, become a consultant or buy an existing business.

If you have the heart of an entrepreneur and you just got downsized, maybe now is the time to answer your calling.
