Confession: I’m tired of the corporate hustle. I’ve been tired of it for some years,but since starting this new role,I’m convinced that this is not where I want to be. I’ve been put on my first ever 30 day PIP with my company and I don’t have a fight left in me. I dont have entrepreneurial passions,but I know if I leave I’ll just be starting the same thing over again. I rather do community work in the marketing space,but it won’t pay 6 figures and I need to pay my bills.

Believe it or not sis you are not alone. I had a full blown come to Jesus moment. And had to have a sit down with myself. This CAN’T BE LIFE !!!! But marketing is an avenue that I am in need of we should definitely connect. Reach out to me if you can. How do you send direct messages here

I overstand what you mean. I dislike corporate but I have bills…

We hear you and understand. It’s a process to find your purpose and path in life.

There are ways to get both but you must be willing to explore and do something you’ve never done before.

You are not alone., just last night I realized that I’m letting the wrong things drive me.

I’m taking a hard look at myself and why I’m letting money drive me instead of letting my Godly gifts drive me.

Sermon I watched last night said, Christian’s should be attracting money not pursuing it.

Once again, I’m out of order … so I’m reconnecting with what God has given me and using that to fulfill my purpose. This other way is driving me crazy and I’m still not financially independent.

Let me know if you want me to send you the sermon…..

Good luck 🍀

Have you possibly thought about non-profit work and then doing consulting for companies as a side hustle? I know it’s a lot but it’s a start.

Praying for you sis, this happened to me within the first 2 months .. was placed on a PIP and then when I voiced how I felt with HR on why I felt as though the PIP was wrong my team started to ignore me.. do what’s best for you but praying for your happiness.

Definitely praying for you but I would take some time and figure out what you really want because it doesn’t sound like you’re doing what you want right now and in order for you to push through you have to at least like it

I would love to hear more about what you do and don’t like about the corporate hustle. What would you like to do in the community space or what type of organization would you like to work for that would fill your soul. I am praying for you in the meantime. I don’t have a position for you, but I would like to know for a few reasons: 1) So I could offer more specific advice 2) Digital Marketing is broad market, but what do you have the most experience in 3) Do you have anything on the side using Digital Marketing that you could develop that would generate passive income for you while you search for the right fit with a community organization?
