At first I thought it was as simple career change as a lot of people do that.  However, in this case they had no backup or anything but simply felt it was time to stop.<\/p>\n<p>The reasons aren\u2019t too far-fetched I thought such as your standard being told to do things that you don\u2019t agree with where it\u2019s like you are just a pawn in the overall picture.  You would think it would be something more over the top.  But the general reasoning was they simply needed that time to really think about what they want to do.  By simply continuing to do what they are doing it doesn\u2019t give them the real push they need to drastically change.<\/p>\n<p>Kind of scary in many ways huh?  At the same time, I suppose there is a lot of truth to it as it\u2019s almost like investors who hate investing in someone\u2019s business if they know that they are working a 9-5 still.  Many times the assumption there is the person isn\u2019t dedicating all of their efforts towards it which increases the odds of failure or stagnant growth.  The decision to do this is probably way more difficult if you depend on a set stream of income fore like your family of course.<\/p>\n<p>Would you ever dare to stop a career cold turkey in order to force yourself to find something that you truly enjoy to do?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was having some interesting conversations today where there were people who literally decided to stop working for a company as they didn\u2019t see a future for themselves with the organization anymore.
