we are currently in florida, so i’ve been able to take my daily walking workouts outside! last night i was catching up on my fave podcasts [i’m working on a post on all the podcasts i listen to, since i spend 10+hours commuting each week! i’ll come back and link it once it goes live.], and this week lauryn + michael had the founders of sakara on the skinny confidential him + her podcast. holy hannah, chock full of info goodness, but on thing really stood out to me: the concept of an intrapreneur. for a while now, i’ve struggled with the fact that *gasp* i do, in fact, enjoy my corporate career. the whole point of being an intrapreneur means that you can make change, have significant impact, and own your value within an established company. in today’s current state, the idea that being an entrepreneur is the only way to have freedom permeates social media, conversation, and the overall social climate. while that works for some [and they have my utmost respect, because the hustle is REAL], it doesn’t have to work for all. it’s ok that i love my job and choose to dedicate time and effort to that, instead of trying to build something of my own.i am going to continue to be an intrapreneur, and treat the company i work for like it’s my ‘own’, and do my job with the priorities of the company in mind [because that’s what happens when you work for a great company with a forward-thinking vision #jobbrag]
i’ve had this *feeling* rolling around for the last year or so, but couldn’t quite put my finger on what it was called. thanks, sakara beauties, for identifying and putting a name to it!
