What you need to know:
One of the biggest lies we tell ourselves is that corporate life and entrepreneurship sit on opposite sides of the spectrum. One represents safety; the other represents courage. One is ordinary; the other is extraordinary. But real life is rarely that simple.
A reader wrote to me, revealing that after three years of freelancing, building his own client base and calling himself an entrepreneur, he has returned to corporate life after a rough time with his business. He mentioned that he felt embarrassed and as if he had failed. I’m responding publicly because I know he is not alone and this may resonate with someone else.
Dear entrepreneur turned employee,
First, thank you for being so candid. I was genuinely grateful to receive your email. You're speaking for far more people than you realise, including many who have felt the same but never found the courage to say it aloud.
