What's missing from your life? When I was a corporate ladder climber, my soul gradually got sucked out of me. These were the things I found MISSING FROM MY LIFE:
A good night's sleep
Waking refreshed and eager to go to work
Work/life balance
Acknowledgement and appreciation for my efforts
Enjoyment of simple pleasures
Enjoyment of most anything eventually
Friends - my job took me to different cities and I didn't have time to grow roots
These are the UNWANTED THINGS IN MY LIFE instead:
Office POLITICS
People pleasing, boss pleasing
PERSONAL SACRIFICES of time, sleep, and peace of mind
STRESS and frustration
Being arm's length from decisions affecting my work and career
LACK OF CONTROL over who I work with and what projects I worked on
Not the best bosses
LIMITS ON INCOME regardless of how well and hard I worked
With the cumulation of these factors over time, I decided to EXIT the CORPORATE WORLD. My next career move was ENTREPRENEURSHIP!
I decided it was time to LIVE A LIFE I LOVE. This meant BEING IN CONTROL of the decisions affecting my personal and work life. My decision: If it was to be, it was up to me.
For the past twenty years as an entrepreneur, franchise advisor and podcaster, I have modeled HAVING TIME FREEDOM AND MONEY FREEDOM as I help people live lives they love.
