Agency Life.
Defined as:
The demanding and fast-paced work-life reality of long hours.
Tight deadlines.
And constant client revisions.
Often leading to burnout.
I lived it.
I also saw it when I was on the corporate side.
In fact, I think it can happen with any knowledge worker in any capacity.
Consultant.
Entrepreneur.
Business owner.
However, part of agency life is the mindset.
The pressure and frenzy culture puts on the work.
There is something that can flip the script.
Life with Agency
Defined as the capacity to make your own choices.
Direct your own actions.
And influence your life outcomes.
This isn’t a role.
It’s a mindset.
No matter what our job is.
Or the type of company we work within.
We can take control of our situation.
Live a life with agency.
Moving from a perspective that we are always on defense.
To one where we lead on offense.
Setting boundaries.
Defining personal goals.
Looking beyond the next meeting.
Moving through our career and life with intention.
