Episode notes

In this episode of the Journey to Launch Podcast, I explore the question: Do you really want to quit your job, or are you just bored? I dive into the motivations behind financial independence and why so many people feel dissatisfied with their jobs. Reflecting on my own journey, I encourage you to ask yourself whether quitting is truly the right solution or if you simply need a shift in your work environment, role, or mindset.

I’ll walk you through important questions to consider before making a big career move. I cover self-awareness, workplace dynamics, career alignment, and even alternative paths like entrepreneurship. I challenge you to think about whether you actually want to stop working or if you just need a break.

In this episode I discuss:

How self-reflection can help determine if your dissatisfaction is caused by the job itself or if there is a deeper issue, such as recurring work struggles or personal patterns.
Whether frustration stems from low pay, lack of respect, or a toxic work environment, suggest considering negotiation or other options before quitting.
The pros and cons of entrepreneurship, questioning whether you truly want to work for yourself
Whether taking a sabbatical, extended PTO, or making a career shift might be a better solution than quitting altogether.
