When you're ready to stop playing small


I’ve seen a lot of debate on LinkedIn recently about how not everyone’s cut out to be an entrepreneur.

It grinds my gears because it assumes we are incapable of evolving.

“Building your own thing is challenging… and it’s the wrong move for most people.”

That may be true… and it’s also wildly discouraging to people with big dreams who have a lot of fear about going full-force toward them. Or anyone who's dared to wonder, "What if..?"

This was me.

Thank God I listened to mentors who showed me what’s possible vs. looking for all the reasons why it’s “too hard” to start

You do not have to be 1 type of person to build your own thing.

You get to BECOME the kind of person who can do it.

I am not most people. And if you’re an ambitious generalist, neither are you.

I do not align myself with “most people” because I am not here to live an average life!! I want an exceptional life.

The status quo is so hardwired into us, it takes time to break out of the false constraints we put on ourselves about what’s possible.

I’m seeing a collective shift though…

More and more, the generalist leaders I work with are excited about building their own business or brand alongside their 9-5 to open up new income possibilities or build a runway to fully leap.

Their long-term vision includes fulfillment, family, and ultimate freedom… a permissionless life on their terms.

They’re disillusioned with solely relying on the corporate ladder after feeling burned by layoffs, toxic management, and burnout.

(Can you relate?)

When they begin to see their value in a brand new way, they see new ways to monetize that value beyond their current role ✨

They begin to see that they’re the type of person who CAN go bigger.

And then they actually do.

This is why many of my clients who initially just wanted a new role end up starting their own businesses or growing personal brands to attract a whole suite of opportunities alongside their 9-5.

We don’t need more discouragement from pursuing what we truly want.

We need more clarity, courage, and community to unlock our next expansion.

I prefer to ask questions like, “What do you truly want?” followed by, “Let’s figure out what it would take to get there”.

If you’re ready to embrace your next expansion & be challenged to think bigger about your future:

I've been going on retreats since high school, but had no idea what I was in for this year. I signed up for a retreat in Costa Rica this past February. I thought it'd be a fun trip, but wasn't sure if there'd be anything new for me to take away. Life was going great. I'd just hit a big milestone in my business, helping dream clients land aligned roles weekly, loving life as a digital nomad. I was already "doing the work" in therapy and 3 different personal development spaces. Little did I...

[Big announcement in here... If you're already IN the job you want, this is your time to plug back in.] In 2020, I was burned out. Done chasing promotions that everyone else said were the “road to success.” But it didn’t feel like success to me. I craved more freedom: ✨ Freedom to work from anywhere ✨ Creative freedom to build what I wanted ✨ Financial freedom to design a big, bold life I knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur… but I wasn’t ready to make that leap. So I pivoted into startups to...
