#28: They asked us to pack up and leave 😳


“Your role is now redundant. Please pack up and leave.”

That’s what one Dyson employee in Singapore was told during a sudden layoff this week.

No warning.
No heads-up.
Just bam — goodbye.

💼 One day you’re part of the team.
The next, you’re clutching an envelope, wondering what the hell just happened.

The worst part?
Dyson had just promised “more investment” in Singapore.
Weeks later?
Emails. Meetings. Goodbye.

If that hits close to home — you’re not alone.
Too many are living in quiet fear of the next restructure, the next “realignment,” the next cold call from HR.

Let’s call it what it is:
If your only income comes from your job...
You’re one email away from financial chaos.

But here’s the truth:
You don’t need to quit your job.
You do need to stop depending on just one.

That’s why you’re here.
To start building income that works for you, not just your boss.
To invest with confidence — even if you’re starting from zero.
To build real freedom — so no one can pull the rug from under you again.

Let’s get into it 👇


🚀 Freedom in Action

🛥️ “I Quit, Cashed Out, and Sailed Into Freedom — With Nothing but a Boat and a Cat”

Let’s get real.
Most people say they want freedom.
Oliver? He burned the map.

He quit his job.
Liquidated his 401(k).
Sold everything.

Then bought a secondhand sailboat, grabbed his cat — and just went.
No sailing background. No financial plan.
Just a decision:
“I’d rather sink chasing freedom than survive another year in a system built to drain me.”

Today, he’s mid-ocean, going viral on TikTok, and rewriting the script on what freedom can look like.

👉🏻 This story isn’t about sailing.
It’s about building leverage — so your money works harder than you do.
