The Cage You've Built for Yourself
What if the security you've been chasing is actually the thing holding you back? Most of us follow a well-worn path: good grades, stable job, steady paycheck, retirement fund. We're taught that this is success, that deviation is reckless. But here's the uncomfortable truth-the world that promised job security in exchange for loyalty no longer exists. The social contract has been rewritten, and many of us are still operating from an outdated playbook. Consider this: Netflix generates 357 times more value per employee than Blockbuster did at its peak. Manufacturing jobs have plummeted while productivity soars. Computers now write poetry, diagnose diseases, and read human emotions. The gap between what companies produce and how many people they need to produce it grows wider every year. This isn't some distant future scenario-it's happening right now. The question isn't whether change is coming; it's whether you'll be ready when it arrives. The shift from employee to entrepreneur isn't just about starting a business. It's about reclaiming agency over your life, about moving from a mindset of risk mitigation through endless analysis to one of learning through action. It's about asking yourself: Am I building the life I want, or am I just reacting to the life that's been handed to me?
