Would you call me stupid if . . .
- I was middle aged,
- had a good business setup,
- earned more than decent annual revenue,
- but had little work satisfaction?
And . . . I chose to give it all up to chase a dream with an unpredictable, unknown, and indefinite business setup—hoping only to have better work satisfaction?
Yes, of course, you might call me “stupid.”
If we’re really being honest, a sensible person wouldn’t make that choice.
A more realistic reason to make that choice would be the person’s priority of having work satisfaction.
- Would you prioritize work satisfaction over income and steady cash flows?
That’s the first real question to ask and find an answer for.
Money, however, is important, especially if you have a family to feed.
- Would you prioritize your work satisfaction over family and kids?
That’s the second real question to ask and find an answer for.
Building something “new” will always be more difficult than making changes to something already “existing.”
- Would you want to pull down your entire established setup, because the carpeting is moldy or you have a few broken doors?
That’s the third real question to ask and find an answer for.
There are no tricks or shortcuts to answering these questions. It may seem hard and difficult, but if you can’t face the hard and the difficult, there is little worth in moving from an existing established setup to an unknown path of undiscovered self-glory.
Ask yourself. . . Is it worth a complete change, or would little fixes suffice?
