Unfortunately I haven't made the leap yet eventhough it is ALL I can think about. I have been thinking about making the leap for years now but lately it's on my mind 24/7 now. I have become so bitter and angry. I feel angry all the time. It feels terrible. Since I don't drink anymore I have been trying to feel better by eating sugar and carbs. I have put on 10 lbs in the last 2 years and feel crappier and crappier.
I am angry at America. I am angry at the politicians, the corporations, the people who put the politicians into office who have designed such an unfair, horrendous system of wage slaves. Most of us have no other choice then to be a slave to a job so that we can eat and have shelter.
However, I am mostly angry with myself for being so afraid. I want to quit my wage slave job more than anything in the world but am just too afraid. I have been doing everything I can to build up the courage. I have worked with two business coaches, spoken to everyone I care about ad nauseum and just can't seem to do it. Grrrrrrrrrrrr
Omg you sound just like me. I'm also working in corporate America and I'm trying like crazy to get out. One thing that I can say about this experience is that it has really awakened me to the realities of certain evils and just how prevalent it is in these types of environments. And because my eyes are opened, it makes things for me that much worse. I'm actually at work right now typing this up because I'm constantly searching for a way out and for other like minds who are in or have been in this situation that can relate and help me find a way out. This process has been a long, lonely and mostly discouraging one because for one, many of us are so isolated from each other in the way that internet resources are being censored and hidden, making it so difficult to connect. It can also be a bit tedious when there's all kinds of marketing schemes hidden behind what you may initially think as a great resource for making the escape. There's so much to say but for now I want to know if you have been able to make that leap yet and break free? And if so, please help another sister out. I will be checking back for your response. Let me know if you need any of my contact info to connect.
ReplyDeleteHi - I may be too late to this conversation since it was from Feb 2016, but I was in this same situation as both of you for more than 8 years and it was absolutely insane. I had given up and become numb and apathetic (yet somehow continued to grind out a successful corporate career?!). I have since figured out what was wrong and how to break free, forever, of the struggle (and corporate) without starting over or giving up the success, status, income, etc. It was such a huge, painful situation in my life for so long that I have since dedicated myself to creating a small business specifically to help people who are stuck in similar ways. I put my company's initial materials online recently and it's still a work in progress, but I think you would resonate big time with what I learned (and you can get most of it for free in the guide on my home page). www.consultantrx.com. I wish you well with creating the life and success you crave! If I could share just one insight from my journey: whatever you want IS possible, and it'll blow your mind once you realize what was keeping you stuck. May you break free soon and get everything you want! Cheers, Matt McKean (founder of Consultant RX - Success Without the Struggle)
