Welcome to the Black Sheep Academy flock!
Do the terms “Mondays”, “back to the grind” and “how much vacation time do you have left?” send you running for the hills?
Perfect. You are in the right place! You are taking the first step towards forgetting all about them.
Before embarking on my own journey to freedom, I was like you. I worked very hard for someone else’s bottom line in the corporate world for over a decade (13 years to be exact).
I felt tired, stressed and like I was left with very little time to enjoy life itself. I used the term ‘TGIF’ every chance I got because, heck, I was sooo indeed thankful when Fridays finally rolled around. You know how it goes – working FOR the weekend!
I worked on vacation…often. I stayed at the office until 7,8,9 PM at night (gah, even later sometimes!). When I finally would get home, I’d open up my laptop and keep working more.
All this and yet I still felt under appreciated. Why? Because it was just ‘expected’. I didn’t get points for being so deeply committed to the projects or for spending the most time possible working (for the same salary!). I got…well, ‘experience and skills’.
But deep inside, I knew I had so much more value to give that I wasn’t even being given a chance to be explored. I knew things didn’t need to be like this. I knew this was not making me happy. I knew there had to be another way.
We get taught all the principles of how to best climb the proverbial corporate ladder, but what happens when you jump off??
Well, I jumped off 5 years ago, and am here to tell you it IS possible. It’s amazing and freeing, and nothing earth shatteringly horrible happened.
Bills are getting paid, food is on the table, and most importantly, life is being more fully LIVED.
It’s not without it’s challenges of course, but hey, I navigated those and I am here to help you navigate even better than I did.
Why wait until you retire to create a life you love…use the skills you already have to design a dream business on your terms.
Want to…
…eat dinner at home during the week?
…be home in time to pick up the kids from school?
…have the ability to take a vacation whenever you want?
…work from anywhere in the world?
…have the ability to out earn your old salary?
…spend more time with friends & family instead of being stuck at the office?
…have more time to do the activities you truly love?
If you answered ‘yes’ to any of the statements above, then you are ready to become a Black Sheep.
Black Sheep are rule breakers, dreamers, and doers. They stand out from the flock. Black Sheep are rare, but can usually be found with a smile on their face and most importantly in their hearts.
So what are you waiting for? Join our Black Sheep Academy Flock and start re-imagining your life. Ditch the freedom-sucking day job and embark on the journey towards living the life you’ve always dreamed.
This is just the beginning of YOUR story. Let’s write it together
