I appreciate the wrestling and thoughts in this piece. As a “baby entrepreneur” 😆, I’m grateful for the full time job I have. If I’m honest though, it’s only because of the pay check as the work is not fulfilling to me. I’m mindful though that without it, there would be much more pressure on my business to be financially viable faster.
It’s been a struggle to have the job and grow my business, but through the combination of prior corporate trauma and gaining intuitive clarity, I now understand that I won’t find the work I want in an employer. That was hard for me to accept for a long time, but as I’ve leaned into entrepreneurship with a lens to center my business practices on my well-being, I’ve experienced healing. Via building my business I’ve reclaimed the parts of me that I was told to hide in corporate America. I’ve gained confidence through taking risks, and the process has ushered me into evolution. It’s deeply hard, but also deeply fulfilling, healing and transformative.
Much grace, wisdom and courage to you as you journey forward 🙏🏾. I know these aren’t easy questions!
Nyam!!! These are all my feelings reflected back to me. Thank you so much. “I’m mindful that without it, there would be much more pressure on my business to be financially viable faster”!!!!! This is it. I think slow and steady for all of us until we’re at a place of comfort and consistency. Thank you for reading 🤍🤍
Yes! Even though I’m eager for my business to fly, I have had to embrace two mantras 1) you don’t reap the same season you sow and 2) I probably won’t feel ready, but I can experiment and take strategic leaps to grow. Onward and forward ❤️✨💪🏾
I will forever be scared of entrepreneurship because I’m not in total control I would love to think. But I’m learning everyday ways to overcome the fear. Beautiful piece 💙
Yes! I think it's this need for control that keeps us stuck, we want to know what's coming on the horizon and so much of entrepreneurship is stepping out on faith with so much unknown. But like you said taking steps each day to overcome the fear is key! It'll get easier. Thank you so much for reading.
Love this piece so much. I feel like I’m receiving constant reminders to works towards my dream of being a full time entrepreneur, but fear? Yeah fear & stability have me a strong chokehold
Thank you for reading!! A quote that has stuck with me is that fear comes from a lack of action and information. The more steps you take towards the thing you want, the less scary it becomes 🤍
This is so so well written and I resonated with all of this so much (hence my comment as a silent reader lol). The struggle of leaving the comfort and stability that comes from your typical 9-5 job to transitioning to an unsure opportunity is so scary. And the rhetoric that society pushes to chase your dreams no matter the cost can lead to utter chaos if not done well. I think that having a healthy balance can help a lot and that is what I plan on doing.
Thank you so much for silently reading Eno! lol and yes society makes you feel like you MUST make a choice but I think esp at the onset there has to be a balance 🤍
