You know that moment when you're staring at your ceiling at 2 AM thinking,
“Maybe I just need a new job.”
...only to have your next thought be,
“Or maybe it’s time I finally start that business I keep dreaming about.”
If you’ve been toggling between Indeed tabs and Shopify templates—this post is for you.
Because here's the truth:
Not every calling is a business, and not every job change is the fix you're hoping for.
The real question isn’t just about which direction to take.
It’s about why you’re feeling this pull in the first place.
Let’s Talk About the “Stuck”
When clients come to me with this exact dilemma, it usually sounds like:
“I like parts of my job, but something still feels... off.”
“I don’t hate my boss, but I can’t imagine doing this forever.”
“I have this business idea that won’t leave me alone, but I don’t know if it’s ‘the thing.’”
The internal tug-of-war isn’t just about your title or paycheck—it’s often about misalignment.
You’ve outgrown something.
And when that happens, no new job title will feel like enough.
3 Questions to Ask Yourself Before You Make a Move
You don’t need a dramatic resignation letter or a fully baked business plan to get clarity.
But you do need to ask yourself some deeper questions:
1. Is this really about your job… or something deeper?
Sometimes we pin our discomfort on our schedule, our boss, or the lack of remote days—but even when those things change, the unease lingers.
That’s a sign that the discomfort isn’t external—it’s internal.
2. What do you want to be known for?
Not just “what are you good at?”
Not “what’s on your résumé?”
But what legacy do you want your work to leave?
3. If it all disappeared tomorrow—title, money, expectations—what would you rebuild?
This one can sting. But it reveals what actually matters to you.
Because sometimes clarity doesn’t come from thinking.
It comes from trusting yourself enough to take the next small step.
The Big Truth: You Don’t Need a Perfect Plan
You don’t need to scale to 7 figures tomorrow.
You don’t even need to know if this is a forever decision.
You just need to move.
Clarity comes from action.

Final Thought
Whether you’re: Sitting in your car in the office parking lot wondering if you can do this one more day…
Or secretly sketching business ideas in your Notes app while on Zoom…
You’re not alone.
And no—this doesn’t have to be a dramatic leap. It can start with a whisper.
A journal entry.
A conversation.
A step.
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
But you do need to trust yourself enough to begin.
