Ever since I was a little girl, I knew I didn’t want to work for a middle-aged white man who tells me how much money I will make and when I can schedule my dentist appointments.
The grass is always greener! The cruelty of choice is we never know what happens if we pick the other, I am sure you would be miserable having stuck it out in a corporate environment. Keep going! I think betting on yourself was a great shout!
You're so right!! Did you read 'The Midnight Library'? This book has had me in a chokehold ever since I read it, haha! Thank you so much for reading and cheering me on <33
I was a girlboss for 4 years, burned myself out, and got a 9-5 for stability. The salary felt good for the first year, but I can feel my creative self going down the drain. Still too scared to take the leap and be my own boss again, but really hopeful there are ways to finding balance. Thank you for your writing!
ohh, this is so relatable—the eternal girlboss dilemma! :') I guess sometimes you need a sense of stability in order to fly again, but feeling your creative self slowly disappearing is really painful. I'm rooting for us to eventually find the perfect balance of girlbossing and stability. I know it's out there, waiting for us!!<3
paid vacations < a Sarah Noack essay ;) scaping the 9-5 corporate lifestyle is all I'm aiming for, but this perspective reminds me it's not all rainbows on the other side, never is. thank you!! 🩵
Ahhh I love you for saying this!! :‘) my hot tip would be to have a few months of savings before quitting + money to invest in your business (which I both didn’t have bc I‘m delusional and stubborn lol) and I’m 100% sure you‘ll smash it! ☺️
I think being a girl boss definitely kinda sucks but it has its pros!!! I get to surf on a Monday morning if I want to. A win is a win ❤️ fucking love your stuff !
I’ve worked my way up in corporate life and now I’m the woman calling the shots (with 5 weeks paid vacation and retirement benefits). That being said, still many long, late nights and phases of social life put on hold to finish the work. And the dream to just quit and leave it all behind for a remote island where Slack doesn’t exist persists.
omg I relate so much except I haven't seen as much success as you have within business. I NEVER knew what I wanted to do growing up. Jumping from irrelevant job to irrelevant job in my early twenties I finally figured out that I thought entrepreneurship was for me. I tried a few business models that never felt fully me or right. Now I am back working a irrelevant job trying to figure out what I like enough to pour my heart and soul into because I don't think I can last at a job where someone is telling me what to do. I always think I am smarter and could do their job better and then get annoyed at myself for not being in their shoes..... Anwayyyyy thank you for writing this and opening up this space to vent lol
ufff I totally get that!! working a random job seems like the dream right now, until you actually have to do what somebody else wants you to do and this is exactly my problem so I guess I have to stay self-employed forever haha. buuut I guess you can always start a little side hustle next to the other job and just see how it goes <33
YASSSS I love this for you!! going back to corporate is always an option I guess, so stop second guessing and enjoy your freedom bestie!!! this is epic, you can do anything! The world is your oyster hehe
hi! i just read this and i know how you feel but also i couldnt stop thinking the hole essay that what would help this kind of situations will be a guide. Because i know, i seriously know that this style of living could change, you just need some tools. I share this because i was feeling the same as you, but when i implemented some changes in mi career and my business everything start to feel so easy. I discovered that i can even make more money in less time. I reach the point of working 6 to 8 hours per week and have a better income. As one of the leaders i learn from would say: "it's nos about working more, it's about working better".
