The surprising side effect of Treasury membership.
Get ready for a confidence boost.
There are defining moments in your work life. One of mine came when I was working for a state agency. I loved the work but hated the workplace. I was getting to write super fun content about things I found interesting. It was a writer's dream because I had an audience that loved the work. It was so fulfilling to have hundreds of thousands of people were reading what I wrote every month. But the commute, the windowless cubicle and the inconsiderate coworkers were killing me.
I finally worked up the courage to ask my boss for the solution I knew would make me more productive and inspired: working from home. When she said "no" all the confidence I had in myself and my work disappeared and with it went the fulfillment.
Thankfully, I had a cheerleader at home (my husband) who saw that I was capable. He was the one voice saying that if I was good at my job I should be able to do it whenever and however I wanted. He very generously opened a safety net and told me to quit. He was so certain I would find a job that could be fulfilling and flexible.
All the thoughts came:
My boss just said I can't work from home. Who else would possibly hire me?
I'm lucky to have this job. I can't just leave.
My boss is probably right. Without someone looking over my shoulder I probably won't be able to meet deadlines.
Who did I think I was thinking I could have the self-discipline to work outside an office?
Long story short, I quit on a Thursday and started a dreamy work-from-home job with a better title and better pay just two weeks later.
So many women feel trapped in their jobs because they don't have a voice telling them they're worthy of something better. I want to be that voice for you. I'm not here to promise you that you'll land your dream job if you quit today. But I want you to know that if you really care about your craft, it's absolutely possible to make a good living while working in a way that honors your values.
And I'm here waiting for you whenever you're ready. I believe your best chance at success is starting out with the relationships and resources to help you succeed. Membership is $385/month and provides you all that and more. Join us!
