#699: You Deserve More Than a Summer Friday

Why the “perks” at your 9-5 job will never beat the freedom of entrepreneurship.

Feeling a bit overwhelmed by the grind lately? Wondering if being an entrepreneur is really worth it? Well, I want you to STOP right there and tune in because this episode is guaranteed to lift your spirits, remind you why you started your own business, and give you a real good laugh! 

Today, you'll hear some absolutely hilarious "perks" my team members experienced at their old 9-5 jobs. Spoiler alert: You'll leave this episode so happy you left your 9-5 – or be even more motivated than ever to hand in your resignation letter. Think Top Banana awards and "flex" Fridays (but if you work 10+ hours Monday to Thursday)! 

Let's be honest – being an entrepreneur is super challenging…but it's also so incredibly rewarding! My friend, there have been plenty of days when I've wanted to give up, when I felt like I was the only one who didn't have it all figured out and I was struggling to reach my goals. But you know what? Those tough days are just a natural part of the journey and are often beautiful opportunities to grow as a business owner and person. 

Tune in for:  

• (2:31) Proof that there are ebbs and flows all throughout entrepreneurship
• (5:27) Understanding the illusion of security at a 9-5 job 
• (10:21) The “perks” of working for someone else instead of being your own boss
• (15:52) Advice for overcoming the fear of leaving your job 

Listen in because being an entrepreneur is the best choice you could ever make, and this episode is all the proof you'll need!
