Minneapolis, Minn. – August 27, 2001
Recent acquisition of Fortis Financial Group creates opportunity for Bloomington business owner. As a result of the recent acquisition of Fortis Financial Group, approximately five hundred positions were eliminated. The restructuring of the marketing department resulted in a staff reduction of nearly 2/3%. Lisa Kotasek, Retail Channel Marketing Manager, was one of them. In a shaky economy with massive layoff’s industry wide, re-employment opportunities were limited at best. Faced with unemployment and uncertainty, Smallbizsolutions123.com was born.
“Down sizing, bilateral restructuring, right sizing, trimming the fat, corporate liposuction whatever you want to call it, I was unemployed with a family to feed. The financial services industry and the stock market were volatile to say the least. When I heard about the acquisition, I started planning for the worst but expecting the best. I had just been through this last year with my husband’s company. I didn’t know how we were going to recover from it two years in a row. I vowed not to let it happen to us again. Somehow I had to find a way to create my own security. I was trying to solve a puzzle that didn’t seem to have all the pieces in place. I had to find a solution to prevent us from losing everything. We had spent 10 years trying to build a life for our children and ourselves. No corporation was going to take it all away from us because they believed down-sizing was a solid business decision.”
She knew she wanted to be self-employed someday but timing was always a factor. With no sign of improved economic conditions in sight, she started to seriously consider starting her own business.
