Allison Maslan talks to people who've lost their jobs, recorded in 2009. She argues losing a job can be the best thing that happens to you and pushes viewers to start a business even in a down economy, if they can overcome the fear.

So if waking up each morning and facing a job that you really dislike wasn't bad enough, now people don't have a choice. They're losing their jobs. I know this might sound crazy, but what people don't realize is that losing their job could be the best thing that ever happened to them. The problem is, deep down, people really want to change. But there's two things that hold them back. One is they're afraid of that change. And two, they don't know where to start. They don't know what to do. And forget going to friends and family for help. That's often the worst thing they can do. So a popular misconception is starting a business in a down economy is a bad idea. Well, it's not. It's often a great idea. Glass Stop is three things. It helps the reader tap into their passion, create a clear direction so they know where they're headed and they can feel secure in that. And then it helps them break it down into simple daily action steps. It's their personal guide. Look, spending 75,000 hours doing something you don't even like is crazy. You should love what you do. Isn't it time for a change?
