You’re a mom. And a life partner.
And a professional.
In one line: A juggler of countless roles.
And you dream of that day when you your own boss and truly free.
Well, let me assure you, the two are totally unrelated – being your own boss and being free.
I know because I have been there. I have worked full time, part time and now I am a freelancer.
So I can tell you from experience that the dream “being your own boss” is just that. A dream, not reality.
Even freelancers answer to clients.
Entrepreneurs? They have investors and customers and market pressures.
But you have so much more, you exclaim!
I get you. You have kids, family, deadlines, school runs and meetings. Not necessarily in that order. 😃
But remember this – the idea of a boss isn’t just a person in an office. It’s the responsibilities we carry, visible and invisible.
Every role has its demands. Every responsibility, its expectations.
But here’s the secret: It’s not about escaping these roles; it’s about embracing them.
Being truly free is understanding that everyone answers to someone or something.
So
The next time you feel trapped, remember: You’re not alone in this juggle.
And the real power is not in escaping the juggle.
It’s in mastering it.
Understanding that change of role doesn’t make you free from the trap. Knowing what traps you makes you free.
The ACTION STEP for today is not really an action.
I want you to just reflect over this, and tell yourself that…
No, I will not tell you what your conversation should be with yourself. You will hit reply and tell me what you told yourself.
Till then,
Adios and happy juggling!
