hop off the hamster wheel

News flash 🚨 we all got the same programming.

Go to school.

Get a good job.

Work until retirement.

Then, do nothing - or what you choose until life is over.

Unfortunately, I've known people who did that - and they either didn't even make it to retirement, or they miserably endured the working-part of their lives.

If you're feeling trapped in the endless cycle of your 9-5 job, you're not alone.

Close to 70% of employees reported being dissatisfied and disengaged in their work, according to the latest Gallup survey.

Who wants that life?

If you've been contemplating whether to stay in your 'comfort zone' or take a leap of faith into the unknown - I encourage you to give yourself permission to at least explore your options.

We've been trained to build other people's companies and to believe that a 'job' is more safe than building our own income streams or betting on ourselves.

Rethink Risk: A New Perspective

Let's challenge the status quo and consider what's actually risky in today's world:

• Becoming a casualty of unexpected layoffs

• Navigating company politics just to have a 'job'

• Not creating your own income streams

• Waiting until you're 65 to finally control your time and hope you've saved enough

Both working a job and starting a business involve risks. But only one offers massive upside potential.

Choosing your own path means that you're willing to:

1. Trust your intuition

2. Believe in your potential

3. Face your fears head-on (False Evidence Appearing Real = FEAR) There's nothing to it but to do it.

4. Align your life with your core values

5. Discover your true purpose

Remember, life is too short to settle for anything less than what sets your soul on fire - or at a minimum, feels in alignment with your life.

Don't let fear hold you back from embarking on a journey that could transform your life in ways you never thought possible.

The Power of Taking Action

When you make the decision to bet on yourself and follow your heart, something magical happens.

I can attest to this - having walked away from the 'golden handcuffs' in 2015. That is one of the best decisions I've ever made.

The universe will conspire in your favor, opening doors you never knew existed.

But it all starts with that first step – a commitment to yourself and a better life for you and your loved ones.

Design a Life of Purpose that You Love

You have the power to design a life you love.

• Identify what truly matters to you

• Set bold goals and work toward them (a little bit each day)

• Surround yourself with supportive people (get a coach - or join a supportive like-minded group)

• Continually learn and grow

• Embrace challenges as opportunities

Take the First Step

Your first step to freedom is when you give yourself permission to explore a more meaningful life.
