Want to Leave Your Corporate Job? It's Easier Than You Think
Jul 28, 2023Leaving a corporate job can be a stressful time. I experienced this firsthand when I was deciding whether or not to leave my corporate role. Even with a side hustle in place and some decent cash flow, I still had fear. I am going to share with you the mentality that I wish I would've had when making this decision. I believe that with the proper mindset and perspective, the decision can be a lot less overwhelming than one would expect.
The key takeaways from this episode are:
1. Leaving a corporate job can be stressful, but adopting the right mindset can make the decision less overwhelming.
2. Challenge the fear of the unknown by asking, "What could actually go wrong?" to reduce mental barriers.
3. Reflect on the skills and talents developed during your corporate career to gain confidence and ease the transition to a new path.
