I have seen friends and colleagues climb the corporate ladder to end in “corporate burnout.” It’s common, people get stuck, have invested so much time and energy, and are so exhausted that they don’t know what to do next. There is a simple technique to help you decide what to do next.
If you’ve ever experienced corporate burnout, you know you don’t want to climb the ladder anymore, you’re tired of company politics, working late, even if they hang up that ripe fruit to motivate you again. If you stay in corporate burnout, it’s because you feel like you have no other choice.
It is common to stay in one position, whatever level you have reached, because your family likes so-called security, you don’t want to move the family boat. It is totally understandable why your family would feel this way. That is all they know. That’s all you know if you’ve been there for a while.
Before you can decide “what’s next,” you must analyze your drive, determination, and goals. You have to examine yourself, and the destination you have reached, to see if you would be a candidate for the next, or if you will be one of those who will stay, and settle for what you have.
Ask yourself these questions. Write down the answers and be honest with yourself. You cannot fool yourself, your subconscious already knows what you really want.
– Will you be really happy if you stay in your current job for the next 5, 10 or 20 years?
– Do you work more often and then spend time with your family?
– Feel like you’ve reached your income limit, but want more?
– Do you want more time to do things like travel and adventures, or hobbies?
– Do you miss important family events due to work?
– Are you bored at work?
– Are people at your job raising you or tearing you down?
– Are you fed up with corporate politics and can’t stand the idea of playing in them anymore?
Once you’ve taken a look at these answers, you’ll know if you’re satisfied with staying in corporate burnout, OR if you’re like many before you and they decided it was time to make a move.
If you’ve decided, “I can’t do this anymore, I need a new plan.” It is time to talk to your family and let them know your pain and your wishes. Your wishes are what they want too, for you and for them. Make them align with your vision by sharing what you want for everyone.
Now this may be the hard part, you have to commit to the decision. You DECIDE that you are on a better path to achieve exactly what you want. Make a list of how you really want your day to be. Don’t be skeptical when you say, “I can’t have what I really want.” That is not true, you are only limited by what your mind can conceive.
Get the book “Think and Grow Rich” by Napolean Hill. A must see for anyone taking action on their new dream lifestyle. You want to work on your way of thinking so that your head can reach your heart.
Once you’ve written down your goals, look for opportunities that give you the lifestyle you want to have. If you are like most exhausted corporations, you will be moving in the direction of being an entrepreneur, rather than working for another employer.
It is not an easy transition for most to go from employee to employer. If you can follow the path of those who have done it before you, you will be more successful. You will avoid the mistakes they have already made.
You want to find a community of like-minded thinkers who share exactly what they have done to achieve your business success.
They will show you how to continue to earn the same salary that you are used to and in some cases even MORE than what your corporate career could bring you. It’s about you determining your earning potential and ultimately achieving what you are really worth.
When looking for opportunities that allow you to own your own business, be wary of any start-up business that you build the system in. The system takes advantage of your time and will help you be successful faster. Trust me, I’ve done it both ways.
If you are considering a franchise, consider the reality of your day, spending 12-16 hours building your physical business with large overhead, rent, employees, insurance, and inventory, just to list a few. You want to make sure you make a profit from your business so that your creditors don’t get more than you do.
There is a new business model that many former entrepreneurs and failed entrepreneurs are succeeding with that will allow you to work your own hours, work from anywhere in the world, and most importantly, spend time with the people who matter in your business. environment. life.
This business model is not a franchise or MLM, it is an online home business that has an educational platform with an integrated sales system that teaches you everything you need to know about running an online business. The sales system works for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, while you access the largest market in the world. It’s all about leverage and your system working for you while you do other things.
The earning potential with this business model will exceed your expectation of your six-figure salary. You can earn more in a month than you could in a year, if you are motivated, determined, and invest 3-6 months in your education as a new business owner. I didn’t say this was easy. It is for someone driven and hungry for change. It is 100% duplicatable by anyone who is willing to put in the effort.
As a frazzled business, you need to think about how much you want to change in your life. YOU and only you can decide what’s next. You could find another job and disconnect, and maybe you are the type of person who would be happy with that. There is nothing wrong with that goal.
If you are someone who knows there is a better way for you and your family, and you want to explore what follows in more detail, do your due diligence. Find out what is possible for you as an entrepreneur. 95% of businesses fail, apply proven systems to avoid problems. You can become the 1% who are very successful.
If you decide to take action, work on your fortune part-time on weekends and nights, you can fire your boss when your income exceeds your goal. Are you ready to be an ex-company that is a highly successful entrepreneur? I am happy to have done it.
