Three very important things self learning has taught me;

1. Large companies move slowly.

Good ideas often die on the vine simply because they have to be approved by too many people.

2. Climbing the corporate ladder is an obstacle to doing great work.

I want to focus on getting things done and making things better, not constantly positioning myself for promotion. Politics and turf wars are an inescapable part of the daily experience of working for a large company.

3. Frustration leads to burnout

I want to enjoy the daily experience of work, but instead I feel like I’m running a gauntlet each day. It has began to affect my health, happiness, and relationships.

The longer I stayed in the corporate world, the more I realized I wanted out. I desperately wanted to work on my own terms, as an entrepreneur.
