Why I Left My £260k Corporate Job (And Why You Might Not Need To)

from Intentional Living with Ben Robins · host Ben Robins

Why I left corporate is a question I never thought I'd be answering publicly - especially not as a Brit, where talking about money is practically a social crime.It wasn’t easy, and it wasn’t fast, but there were a lot of lessons learned through the process.Leaving a high-paying role is just one example of a dramatic change in our lives that we all too often put off. For others, it could be moving to another country, divorcing their long-term partner, or having children, but what I’ve learned is that for those big decisions, being clear is essential.If I had to go back in time, I see that there were five questions that if I had answered truthfully to myself, would have simplified a years-long process. I hope that by sharing them, you’ll be able to make the changes you’d like in your life, much faster than I did.We'll be covering:Why I left corporate behind and started a new lifeHow to pinpoint what work actually feels meaningfulWhat you know but won’t admitWhat staying the same is really costing youWhy other people's opinions might be running the show more than you'd like to admitThe thought exercise that makes the decision almost impossible to ignore⏰ Timestamps: ⏰00:00 Introduction01:30 Question 102:45 Question 205:21 Question 306:34 Question 407:57 Question 509:07 ConclusionConnect with me===========================My website - https://ben-robins.com/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-robins-coaching/This video was produced by the team at Zapods Podcast Agency: https://www.zapods.com
