Yes, this is me exactly. I have worked in a corporate job since I graduated college in 1984. The first step is realizing it is a problem for me and then doing something about it. Now I have to keep asking and searching for how I can create value and deliver it.
The best thing that could happen is for me to get laid off. I don't believe I have the courage to just quit.
Wow. I did not even realize how scared I am! I am afraid of losing health insurance, benefits, salary, losing home, being homeless, going hungry......so I stay at a corporate jail (The place I work is surrounded by a huge fence and I have to enter and exit through card key activated turnstyles) where I am basically dead as far as creative value or being innovative and excited.
You are exactly right again Steve. Thanks!
