Let’s speak about it
I’ve an actual challenge with the ‘stop the rat race’ narrative.
It’s been a progressive factor. In reality, three years in the past I used to be taken with the thought. Two years in the past I began to see its flaws.

However entrepreneurship is tough. Like actually exhausting. And never solely that, when you stop your job, possible your solely supply of revenue, you triple the variety of issues you’ve gotten.
I’ve come to the conclusion that perhaps the rationale most individuals need to throw their resignation of their boss’s face is as a result of they strategy work as an emotional downside fairly than a logical one.
- Emotional — My job makes me…
