In this episode, we delve into our personal journeys of facing significant career changes, embracing entrepreneurship, and striving for a harmonious work-life balance.
We share our experiences of leaving secure, established careers to follow paths that better align with our personal values, ambitions, and the quest for flexibility.
Discussing the obstacles encountered during our transitions, from dealing with the pressures of sales quotas to navigating toxic work environments, we highlight the challenges and motivations behind our decisions to change direction professionally.
We also talk about the importance of visioning, planning, and accessing resources designed to support such significant shifts. Addressing common misconceptions, we underscore that career changes are often motivated by a deep-seated need for satisfaction and fulfillment rather than a lack of motivation or appreciation. Through our dialog, we aim to inspire others by demonstrating the importance of betting on oneself, the power of aligning one's professional life with personal values, and the possibilities that open up when one decides to design a life they love.
