The 9 to 5 Lie
After many years of college, obtaining credentials, I realized that it’s not about the degrees, etc, it’s really about experience & who you know. Imagine being told all you need to do to be successful in life is obtain a degree & you will get any job you want….to discover later that the credentials you have are worthless. Sadly, many (including myself) fell for the 9 to 5 lie.
The reality is, true success is found when thinking outside of the box & not clocking in/out doing the same thing on a different day. In the corporate world, we are just a “number.” Replaceable.
Breaking Point
I spoke about those “voices” in my previous blog: The Calling about all the signs that you will know that bossing up is the best decision you could ever make. As for me, there was so much more that lead to this decision.
For instance, lack of communication from management & co-workers. Emotional stress leading to physical & mental health issues. Overworked (no lunches or breaks), micromanaged (even when you have proven that you are worthy of the position & underpaid (when you have the credentials & experience to qualify for you for more money).
Can you relate to any of the above? Those were a daily occurrence for me…which is why I decided to boss up in order to make a true difference.
Freedom from the 9 to 5 to make a Major Difference
Stepping into entrepreneurship can cause fear to arise but that “Calling” will not go away. Along this journey, you will learn, fall (from some mistakes or decisions that you may make along the way), to get back up to be able to help & inspire others. Just one of many ways to fulfill your purpose in life…to make a difference in this world. Ultimately, leading to true happiness for yourself & others.
