Ep #157: What ultimately helped me make that decision to leave my 9-5
In this episode. I’m sharing my personal journey with you all. One of the most pivotal moments in my life was the decision to leave my 9 to 5 job. It was a decision that was not taken lightly, but it was one that I felt was necessary for my personal growth and happiness.
The Struggles of Being Overlooked and Undervalued
In my role as a supervisor, I often felt overlooked and undervalued. Despite performing managerial tasks, I was told to act like I wanted to be a manager. This was a clear indication that my efforts were not being recognized. I was focused on people and creating a healthy team environment, but it seemed like the company was more interested in innovation and appearance. This disconnect between my values and the company's priorities was a significant factor in my decision to leave.
Prioritizing Personal Happiness and Time with Loved Ones
One of the most important lessons I've learned from this experience is the importance of not sacrificing one's health and sanity for a job. Time is irreplaceable, and we need to prioritize personal and family moments. I realized that I was giving up too much of my time and energy to a job that didn't value me. This realization was a wake-up call that led me to prioritize my happiness and well-being.
The Power to Make Choices
I want to emphasize to all my listeners that you have the power to make choices that align with your own well-being and goals. Whether it's leaving your current job, starting your own business, or finding happiness within your current circumstances, the decision is yours to make.
conclusion
As I conclude this episode, I want to leave you with a call to action. Reflect on your own situation. Are you happy? Are you being valued? Are your personal and professional goals aligned? If not, it might be time to make a change. Remember, you have the power to make choices that align with your well-being and goals.
In the end, my journey from a 9 to 5 job to hosting the Hello C.S. Dorsey podcast has been a transformative experience. It's my hope that by sharing my story, I can inspire others to take control of their own lives and make decisions that lead to personal happiness and fulfillment.
