A few months ago, I noticed myself feeling envious of people wearing lanyards.
Envious of their guaranteed monthly salary.
Their holiday pay.
The fact that they could go home at the end of the day and switch off from work.
And it led me to question whether ‘quitting the 9-5’ - the milestone spoken about so much in this online space - really does bring the freedom we perceive it to bring.
I’ve written quite honestly about this in this month’s Brand Runway Magazine and Visibility Platform.
To be honest, I wasn’t sure whether Founder and Editor-in-Chief, Jenni P Parker Brown, would approve the article, because it questions whether the entrepreneurial world has developed its own hierarchy and its own expectations of conformity - every bit as rigid as employment can be, just disguised as freedom.
But she did.
And the article is now out.
The magazine is available in print as well as online, and I’ll pop the link below should you wish to read more.
I’d love to hear your thoughts.
