When I left corporate America to open my life coaching practice it slightly terrified me what I was about to give up.
Work travel
Feeling important
A fancy title
The money (omg the money, was I crazy?)
Extras for the family
Extras for me! (goodbye Target trips, Amazon boxes and delivery subscriptions)
Queue Panic Attack
As I breathed heavy into a paper bag I decided to flip the script and instead focus on what I would gain.
Freedom from boss expectations
My ability to work on what I wanted to for as long as I wanted to
No one was going to tell me NO
More time with my family
Deeper connection with my purpose
Less I’m sorries and more I’m happys.
The money followed too but it stopped driving my every move. I now use it to enhance the more list I created when I started.
If you're scared to give up something instead focus on the things you'll gain. The gains far outweigh the losses.
