On this week’s show I’m sharing 10 good reasons to leave your corporate job.

Maybe leaving corporate life isn’t your only option – you could stay within corporate life but change company, change working hours, changing to working remotely, change career but stay within big business... How do you know if escaping the rat race for good is the right option right now?

I’ve identified 10 really good reasons to quit the rat race. How many of them apply to you?

1. You want to run a business.


2. You can't see that a change of company would fix the problem


3. You want or need more flexibility


4. You have a good business idea


5. You don’t have a high need for financial predictability/you are risk tolerant


6. You want to leverage your expertise in the open market (and make more money!)


7. You want to test yourself, put yourself out of your comfort zone and have new experiences


8. You’ve been thinking about it for a long time and the idea won’t go away


9. The company politics, dysfunction, competitiveness are something you don’t want to be part of any more


10. You want to be the author of your life

On the show I mention a couple of resources to help you if you’ve answered “Yes, that’s me!” to a number of these.

The FREE Escape the Rat Race Checklist is here - It covers 70+ actions and questions to consider in order to get yourself ready for the big escape.

The 12 Ways to Transition programme is here - This programme helps you work out which transition strategy is right for you. It will help you figure out your tolerance to risk, the urgency of your escape, your financial situation and how much time you have to build your new venture and use the answers to those questions to pick the right way to transition out of your current job and in to your business.
