#699: You Deserve More Than a Summer Friday


Listen Later

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!
