Exercise: Balanced Corporate Equation
Balance in the relationship with your employer is key. It should be a loveless marriage of convenience, rational and equitable. Is yours?
If you’re giving up more than you’re getting, you need to do something about it.
Start by being honest with yourself. Log all the things you get from your job today - like salary, bonus, pension - and the intangibles like status and identity. And all the things you’re giving up - again tangibles and intangibles, like self-confidence and control.
This is part of detaching from your corporate job and your reliance on it as your only option.
It certainly isn’t.
