Gâday Gâday friends, James is a father of 3 children under the age of 12. Heâs spent 2 long decades climbing the corporate ladder. But he was finally a Director in a government department. A position highly sought after given his age and work experience. He thought the day he got this promotion he would feel complete. Like his problems would melt away and he would be set for life. But his dream started to morph into a sad reality. As a Director, he spent more time navigating turf wars with other Directors. Most of his energy was spent navigating politics, managing the emotions of his 20+ team members, and getting enough face time with his boss to keep his career going. 12 months into this role and it started to feel like a prison. The creative part of his role was gone. The impact of his work was becoming invisible. Everything that made him love the job was a fading memory. His day-to-day made him miserable. Heâd wake up tired and go to bed with an elevated heart rate. He went from doing the work to simply talking about the work. But to the external world, he had everything. The title. The salary. The prestige. At this point, he dropped me an email. He had just turned 44 and started to realize how little time he had. He felt too old, too late, too inexperienced to start again online. I told him he had everything he needed to get started. Those decades of experience, knowledge, and networks donât disappear overnight. Itâs never been easier to start, grow, and scale your one-person business. We are living in the Solopreneur Revolution in 2026. âHereâs a 1-hour video explaining where we are headed.â Youâre going to spend decades of your life climbing a ladder. Just make sure the ladder is leaning against the right wall. Letâs Launch Together, Michael âbuild your own ladderâ Lim. |
