“The Great Resignation” is here. People in droves are leaving their jobs to find something better.
According to an Inc. article:
I believe that we all can earn a living that gives us the freedom to create the lifestyle of our dreams. Everyone’s vision of their dream lifestyle is different.
Back in 2011, my dream was to leave a career where I felt stifled to create a business where I could have the flexibility in schedule and freedom to work from anywhere. I wanted to craft a living in such a manner to travel in a way that most people put off until retirement, and then often never getting around to it.
The Great Resignation phenomenon is affecting the economy and our lives in many ways. It’s interesting what is going on in the marketplace.
The pandemic had bought about a mass mindset shift of people wanting something more out of life and demanding a new way of earning a living.
Companies everywhere are scrambling to figure out how to cope with a mass exodus. Online influencers have courses and webinars to teach you how to do what I did and build your own online business. Not everyone wants to be an entrepreneur, so they are making career changes.
The subject got my friends and colleagues Genesis Eakes and Linda Guild talking last week. We all have our unique perspective of what we’re seeing and how it’s affecting the marketplace, our clients, and even our friends and families.
CEO of Genesis Eakes International, Genesis is a consultant who serves mission-driven organizations and she’s seeing firsthand the effects of what the pandemic has done to companies’ culture and the havoc it has been on production.
Linda is the founder of TAPP, the Talented Alliance of Part-time Professionals. She sees how thinking of creative work schedules through the lens of part-time employment solutions helps fill gaps for many.
My perspective is one from leaving the corporate world to create a business.
In this episode, you hear Genesis sharing her perspective of the overall mood or mindset of the workforce. Linda shares great food for thought about both employee mindset shifts and openness from companies to embrace different work scenarios
Gaining different perspectives on the subject can help you craft your dream lifestyle.
