- You feel unfulfilled in the corporate world:
It often starts out as a boredom- a lack of a sense of purpose lost between spreadsheets, pointless meetings and PowerPoint presentations. You find The monotony of the daily grind ultimately mind numbing and soul destroying. The same commute, the same packed train and dreary faces, the long 9-5 hours(if you’re lucky) taking up all of your precious time, all of your best youthful years. The grey walls of the office, the rule books and procedures for every process. The reactive nature of corporate life, constantly following a guideline of personal developments and reviews- being told which mould you fit and whether that means you’ve made the cut. The water fountain discussions with hundreds of colleagues who are just as dissatisfied as you but even more pessimistic as they have accepted this for their life and don’t plan to actively pursue escape. You are the new rich and you want to be in control of your work and your time. You can’t help but sit at the shackles of your desk scribbling down ideas, projects and colourful plans. You know that as long as you work in a corporate box, regardless of the nature of the job, these aspects will always suffocate and crush your true being. And that is why you relentlessly push your own hustle in whatever spare hours you can find.
