Introduction to Entrepreneurial Career Changes

Escape the City
Escape the City

This document summarizes a discussion about building an entrepreneurial career in the current environment. It discusses the changing definitions of career success, focusing more on passion, impact, autonomy and well-being over just job security. Participants engaged in exercises to imagine their ideal careers and identify barriers. Common ways to get stuck include having a perfect plan, being discouraged by others, trying to do it alone, all-or-nothing thinking. What works is taking small experimental steps in your interests, building relationships, generating ideas, hustling through resilience and creating value without waiting for permission. The key is hustling through building authentic relationships, creating value openly, and having the right determined attitude.
