When It’s Time to Prioritise Your Values Over Security
When It’s Time to Prioritise Your Values Over Security
Ideally our businesses and careers are both rewarding and fulfilling. But if your day to day work is draining you of energy, clashing with core values like family time and health, then it’s worth seriously considering a pivot.
Last week I caught up with a friend who’s done exactly that. He’s walked away from a long-standing business partnership that was sapping his energy, robbing him of time with his family, and piling on unnecessary stress.
This takes real courage (and a supportive spouse!) to navigate the associated financial adjustments and other changes.
But the payoff is massive – he’ll rediscover balance, reduce the stress, and align his daily life with what truly matters to him. I’ve helped clients like him map out these shifts to make such leaps feasible without derailing their financial future.
If your career is leading you further away from your highest values, don’t ignore it. The longer we delay acting on the voice within the harder it gets. If it’s only financial security that’s keeping you in an unhappy place it’s likely time to seriously plan for change.
