Sooooo Over It

Ever feel like you're just going through the motions at work, counting down the hours until freedom? If you’ve ever found yourself daydreaming about a life where you’re in control of your time and passions, you’re not alone. Many of us reach a point where the daily grind feels stifling, leaving us longing for something more fulfilling. Yup this has been for the last..IDK forever. I have always had easy good paying roles, I literally can't stay in one role longer than 6 months. My longest role I had been was just short of 3 years before I got FIRED lol!! I was already looking for other jobs months prior to that incident, so that didn't really bother me, I was more annoyed though that I didn't leave on my own terms, anyways it is what it is!! This year I had have 3 jobs already, instead of resigning from a job, I decided to do EOI's, looks better on my resume, even so I'm still not satisfied in any roles I do. 

Let’s be honest: the corporate world can be exhausting. Although all my roles have been very flexible, working my own hours, working from home or going into the office if I want, I still hate working! Maybe not hate more boredom, maybe I'm just lazy. I want that balance like a 50/50 balance where I can be lazy and the other 50% working hard. Not work 5days and only two days off, weekends aren't long enough. I just took a break a from my work to write this blog. Maybe this might keep me sane. The daily grind feels like an unending loop of monotony, where my passions and dreams sit on the back burner.Why can’t I break free from this routine??????

The thought of starting my own business has been on my mind for a while now. I fantasise about the freedom of being my own boss, creating something from scratch, and waking up excited about my work instead of dragging myself through another day of monotony. But every time I think about taking that leap, I’m met with a wave of uncertainty. Where do I even start? What if I fail? The questions swirl in my mind like a storm, paralysing me from taking action. I have these burst of energy where I'm doing research on starting business, researching ideas, even created surveys just to gain some understanding on what people want then I would post it on community pages that I'm on but yet no one responses, I do my own research reading negative review about a product and take on what they need on these certain products and then make it better, then I run out of energy and I feel gross about even thinking that was even a good idea. I know its a good idea to join pages on FB or Instagram, but I deleted FB because I don't want to speak to my family, as they are always asking me for something, these are the people that raised me, I use to be so scared of them when I was young, and I think that fear is still in me, hence why I haven't blocked them. 

It’s easy to get caught up in the fear of the unknown. The idea of leaving a stable job for the unpredictable world of entrepreneurship is terrifying. I worry about financial security, about making mistakes, about feeling overwhelmed. But deep down, I know that staying in my comfort zone isn’t an option anymore. I'm still trying to find my way forward, I just know this is not for me. I need to be my own boss, be in control of my own life in every aspect! Lets try and navigate this together Hey???

So, how do I (and you) navigate this desire for change? Here’s what I’ve started to realise:

1. Start Small: I don’t need to quit my job today. I can begin by exploring my interests during my free time. Whether it’s brainstorming business ideas or working on a side project, every small step counts. I do this on a daily basis, nothing is good enough. Maybe I need a business partner

2. Educate Myself: There’s a wealth of resources available. I’ve started diving into podcasts and books about entrepreneurship. Learning from those who have walked this path before me helps me feel more equipped for the journey ahead. Currently listening to an Audible by Ryan Daniel Moran called 12 Months to $1 Million. It's interesting, not finished yet, I'm still on the fence but will need to finish it for a better judgement

3. Connect with Others: I’m seeking out communities—both online and offline. Joining local meetups or engaging with entrepreneurs on social media can provide support and inspiration. I want to hear their stories, their struggles, and their triumphs. I need to get back into FB maybe even start a new FB for business ideas only. I prefer facebook over instagram, FB was created when I was young so I'm comfortable nagivating because I had been exposed to it when it was first released, instgram not my thing!

4. Embrace the Uncertainty: Change is scary, but it’s also exciting. I’m learning to embrace the uncertainty that comes with pursuing my dreams. Every successful entrepreneur started somewhere, often from a place of doubt and fear!!!!

If you’re feeling the same way, I encourage you to join me on this journey. Let’s stop complaining about the daily grind and take the first step toward building a life we love. Whether it’s writing down your ideas, talking to someone who inspires you, or simply daydreaming about what could be, take that step.

Remember, it’s okay to feel lost. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed. But together, we can turn our frustration into fuel for change.

Let’s share our experiences and support each other. What are your dreams? What steps are you considering? Let’s start this conversation and take our first steps toward entrepreneurship together.
