There's a movement happening called theGreat Resignation. A wave of individuals is deciding that they'd rather quit instead of going back to jobs that don't fulfill them. These employees, from all sectors, are tired of spending their forty-plus hours every week doing something that doesn't bring them joy or help them move closer to accomplishing their life goals.

While this movement has mainly been in the career space, more entrepreneurs should be paying attention to what's happening, and consider joining the Great Resignation movement. Career professionals are having honest conversations about how they want to spend their time; there's an opportunity for entrepreneurs to have the same conversations.

There's a window to get honest about the ways you're working hard every day to build your business, and if it feels in alignment with your values and goals. No one should spend a majority of their week doing things that don't bring them fulfillment. The main goal of entrepreneurship is freedom and to create a better life for yourself.
