As an entrepreneur that now works a 9-5, the most radical thing I’ve done was to enter corporate life and accept stability. Now i work (and love it), and I live a creative life without the pressure of making an income of it, I feel like I’ve gained back my freedom and imagination 💖 life and our professional career really is what we make out of it! Loved your newsletter!
This really resonated with me. I can relate to so much of what you shared, especially in a time when it feels like everyone is being pushed toward entrepreneurship as the answer. I've spent the last six years building a side business while working a full-time job and adjuncting, and honestly, I was completely burned out.
I was recently laid off, and in many ways it has been a blessing in disguise because I've realized corporate America isn't the right fit for me. At the same time, almost two months later, I find myself craving the things I used to take for granted: health insurance, a steady paycheck, and a sense of stability. It's been a reminder that entrepreneurship offers freedom, but it also comes with trade-offs that aren't always talked about enough.
This hit so hard. Currently in the midst of the thought spiral “should I grow or should I go?” Definitely going to check out your book. Thanks for writing this!
Great article! I have been watching for some time how younger folks are quick to abandon their 9-5 jobs without a proper plan for moving forward, relying instead on social media as their advisor. It's plausible to start one's own business, but the dots has to be well thought out before diving in.
Thank you for giving me the space to write this! ✨ I hope it resonates with some folks. I appreciate you!
