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.
