Something weird has happened.
I'v always believed in my entrepreneurial ventures first and foremost. Dedicated learning and growth was priority. But.. You know, life has bills. So after finishing school, I began applying to some places.
I found a nice comfy job, top floor, 4 coffee machines, perfect territory to get slowlane living done. A nice healthy check, the perfect setup to live a nice upper-middle class, relaxed life. Not necessarily paycheck to paycheck, but a few months of wiggle room. Previously, I was generally always broke and considered a financial failure to my surrounding community.
So basically, I've settled in to a nice extent. Got a shiny new car (see avatar) and looking to buy a nice quaint home in the suburbs. So here is my question.
This right now life seems easy, manageable, predictable, and very comfortable. Of course I understand the upside to entrepreneurship but this slowlane stuff is an upgrade for me and feels nice. For those who currently have cozy corner office type situations, what pushes you to continue your hustle?
I still do my reading at night and podcasts in the car while in traffic but.. I literally have no time to hustle like I previously have. Sure I could grab 8pm-midnight and weekends and make it work but, I had no idea that the horrific, sad, treacherous slowlane life actually felt so good.
Is anyone here in a comfy 9-5 (8-6) type job? Are you still fighting for more, just as hard as before?
When is it okay to be comfortable with a slowlane life, if at all? Is your eye still on the prize?
