Read this on matthewdoan.com Read time: 3 minutes Corporate life may be comfortable, but it's holding your light hostage. Instead, decline external dependence, choose freedom, and uncage your suppressed potential. Let's paint that picture today... The SecretThe daily grind is tearing you apart.
You’re stuck in provider mode — barely keeping it together.
"Just gotta hang on a few more years..."
But the pain worsens. You're creating permanent damage.
"My spouse understands."
Actually, no. They can’t stand you this way.
“I don’t let my kids see my suffering.”
Wrong, they see right through you.
"I like my work."
Though you secretly hate it.
These lies assuage the pain. You avoid the mirror, unwilling to face the deep unhappiness inside. Years zip by. Your kids watch you sacrifice yourself, internalizing this as "success." You think money is your path to freedom...but your rental properties, gym franchises, and extra vacation days never launch your dreams. It's time for honesty. Have your moment in the mirror. Cry out the suppressed pain. Let it all go. Clear space for something new. Choose yourself, your talents, your family. Imagine... In 6 weeks, work lightens. You handle it with ease, like Peter from Office Space. Colleagues respect your zen calm. You're always smiling. A promotion finds you. Your employer becomes your investor. You're suddenly present for your family. No phone during games. Dancing in the kitchen. Hugging for no reason. You build an energizing online business leveraging your talents. Delivering value to people you care about. This "side hustle" is actually your main thing — your future. In 18 months, you've graduated corporate life. Guiding your own company, making a difference for clients. No more nights and weekends tied to the office. Health and vitality surge through you. You'll thrive well past 100. You model self-direction and abundance for family, showing them "scarcity and conformity don’t belong here.” This transformation is possible. Many are now experiencing this uplifting journey — declining dependence and choosing freedom. Have your moment in the mirror. Commit to your new beginning. A future rich with potential awaits. Are you ready? Step 1 starts here. Mind-Bender
Podcast106: Filling That Professional Hole in Your Heart: Do you feel a gnawing professional hole in your heart? Your career once filled you up, but now you're trapped and making no impact.

Something you own (and love) needs to be part of your professional portfolio. You don't need to escape corporate — make it an investor in this critical new venture. Stop feeling trapped and make your maximum impact with a business you love.
