What happens when an individual stays in a job, career, or with a company that may not be fulfilling, but they are addicted to the influence, credibility, and prestige that being associated with a particular company or role provides?
Or…sometimes people stay stagnant based on sunk costs (i.e., “I’ve already spent so many years doing X or working at X, it would be a big risk to do something different or take too much time to build back up.”)
Many individuals hold onto name brands, titles, or “logos” instead of seeking a career path that is truly meaningful to them or working at a company that aligns with their personal values.
Fear of the unknown keeps them stuck, guilt keeps them feeling shameful. It’s a vicious, paralyzing cycle. And it’s rarely discussed.
How can you detach from the titles or logos and focus on what really matters for your life? Set yourself free.
Life is not a dress rehearsal…this is it.
You have one shot with an unknown end date.
While it might be scary to let go, sometimes it takes a life detox to unlock your potential and find your true journey to greatness.
