What It's Really Like Going Back to Corporate

Welcome to the most hotly-requested edition of Modern Mavericks over the past 6 months!

As you heard last week and when I first made the decision, I really leaned into my brand of “doing work differently” when I decided to jump back into the corporate world after being a solo-entrepreneur for a few years. 

And when I tell you I’ve received upwards of a dozen messages in the seven months since asking about the transition? Not an exaggeration.

This tells me that a lot of us are questioning the assumption that you’re either a corporate go-getter OR you’re an entrepreneur, and that there’s no wiggle room to create your own hybrid.

FALSE. 

Seven months into this multi-hyphenate career, I can say confidently:

I still AM an entrepreneur.

You can be an entrepreneur even with a 9-5 job.

It’s all about your entrepreneurial spirit and what you choose to create as your own.

You have permission to start calling yourself an entrepreneur right now. 

Now, onto the the more specific FAQs you’ve sent me, including:

• What a day and week in my life looks like now

• What my business model looks like now

• Highs and lows of balancing corporate + entrepreneurship 

• Do I ever feel like a failure?

• My 2024 career and life goals
