Other than the predictable, steady income, I find nothing appealing about the traditional approach to work. As I’m seeing moderate amounts of success in the gig economy, I’m more and more confident I can build my business to be stable and with more diversified income streams than relying one full-time employer.
Ultimately, I lost sight of the transactional nature of work. I actually believed my employer cared about me beyond what I could provide for them. In good faith, I gave my all. I dedicated myself to the companies I worked for and expected more in return than they were willing to give, even if they said otherwise.
I missed the boat in the early part of my career by not being strong and confident enough to behave as an aspiring leader. I will not make that mistake again.
Over the last 10 years, I’ve morphed into Mollie Bentley, Recruiter. While I worked hard to be taken seriously in the world of HR (hence the SPHR certification and incessant networking), I eventually pigeonholed myself.
