For the employee who wants to be his own boss

Thinks are like this:

First, allow me to tell you a story that changed my life completely…

It was 3 AM, I was sitting against the wall, knees to my chest, head in my palms.

(1 month before that night)

I was working as a personal trainer in a gym in town. At 10 AM the manager calls all of us in for a meeting.

He says: “guys I will give it to you like it is. We need to let go three of you because we can’t afford to keep paying you.”

We were nine in total.

Once again, my belief was confirmed.

A job gives you a sense of false security. You never know when you can become redundant, replaced by technology or just let go.

My parents always said, “work hard, climb the company ladder and maybe you will make enough money to live a good life.” Maybe back in their days, it was a good idea but now…

Anyway, let’s get back to it — nine trainers and three need to go.

I was the newest one and felt like the perfect candidate. I decided to leave.

And I left…

Got home and felt overwhelmed with this fear like I never felt before.

I was good at helping people lose weight so the plan was to do just that but online.

Complete failure. Didn’t make enough to pay a single bill.

My fiancee was working 12 hours a day to pay the bills. She would come home dragging her tired feet behind her and I was too ashamed to face her.

I could read it in her eyes. Disappointment and disbelief.

(back to that awful night)

Went outside for a walk, it was freezing and the street was empty. I decided it’s time to get another job.

In a few days, I found one in sales…

Good colleagues, good pay but I was leaving again in a state of anxiety, slowly simmering — I am stuck in a job again.
