In case no one’s said it:

Hey friend,

I’m writing this while I’m debating whether or not to give a call back to a recruiter.

They have a potential job for me. And it’s made me think:

If I call them back, does that mean I’m giving up on this Newsletter/blog idea, before it even begins?

This week I’ve been reading the Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron and it talks about how when the Universe gives us what we want, we tend to give it back.

And that’s what I feel like I’m doing. Right now I have:

• The Time

• The Energy

• The Creativity

• The Support

• and The Freedom that I have been wishing for

And now that I’m about to start a business, that would add to the dream lifestyle that I have in my hands, I’m looking to the side for that safety net of a 9-5.

What kind of future would I be walking into if I called that recruiter back?

I’ve tried the 9-5 already and I don’t know about you, but It’s not for me. I was burnt out, and spending my free time doom scrolling on the couch, every day after work.

But, I know it’s hard to ignore the chaos of everything going on in the world right now, and the uncertainty of AI and the job market.

So if you're in a 9-5 because you enjoy it or because you feel that you need it, that’s completely okay.

Here are things that helped/improved my burnout during that time that might be useful for you:
