I can trace most of my decisions back to my core desire of building freedom into my life. From pursuing a degree in engineering to accepting my first job in the oil fields of Wyoming, back to my first lemonade stand as a kid, and all the side gigs in between - financial freedom has been at the forefront of every decision. But it goes further, I want freedom in all aspects of my life and when I realized that my corporate career didn’t allow me to build the life I wanted, I quit.
It was one of the scariest things I had ever done *at the time* (that’s the thing about making big, scary, brave moves, they get easier the more you do them). I had a lot of work to do to let go of the doctrine that “quitters never prosper” to embrace that more accurate realization that we’re meant to try things, quit them, then try something new until we find what really lights us up. That’s how I would classify the first two years of entrepreneurship for myself: lots of pivots until I discovered what deep inside me was driving the pivots.
