Let’s say you’re a senior manager in a healthy company. Your seniority grants you some wealth, but you have to deal with both the responsibility of leading a team and the pressure from your direct superiors.
You’re stuck in the middle, with few perspectives of getting ahead in the company as all the key roles are taken. Time passes, and your talent is going wasted.
You often daydream about quitting and start running a business yourself, but you don’t want to deal with this lack of stability in this time of your life: maybe you have a family, a dog, a loan… To roll the dice now is just not an option.
Does it ring a bell?
