Control vs. Success: Which One Are You Actually Getting?

Ever felt stuck in a job that wasn't for you? This video explores the common feeling of career frustration and the desire to escape the rat race. We discuss why many people say 'I hate my job' and how to find more freedom vs security in your professional life. It's time to consider a career change and focus on career development.

Stuck in your career and feeling trapped by “golden handcuffs”? In this video, we break down 3 career lies that keep skilled, well‑paid professionals feeling powerless in their jobs and show you a real path into business ownership without starting from scratch.
You’ll discover:
• Lie #1: You have to reinvent the wheel to be a “real” entrepreneur
• Lie #2: A steady paycheck equals stability (the golden handcuffs)
• Lie #3: You don’t have time to build something new
Through real stories—like Michelle, a VP of finance who became a boutique fitness owner, and Mark, a director of operations who launched his own staffing business—you’ll see how proven business models can help you move from passenger to driver in your career.
If you’ve ever thought:
• “I’m good at what I do, so why do I feel stuck?”
• “I’m paid well but always worried about my future.”
• “I want a business, but I can’t spend years reinventing the wheel.”
…this video is for you.
