<\/p>\nBack in early 2007, I faced an interesting choice. By just about all accounts, I was doing great as an international sales director for a stable infomercial company. I had a family, a house, a car, and all the boxes that we check. But something felt off.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I had the energy for something I couldn\u2019t quite define, and any attempts I made to channel that energy at work to improve things were immediately squashed by my boss. As I saw it, I had two choices: I could take the hint, do my job, and not try to grow professionally. Or I could quit, thereby jeopardizing my family\u2019s security and my future career prospects.<\/p>\n
Slowly but surely, the tension became unbearable. The decision point came after I spent a whole month overseas with my boss. I ended up resigning via email during the flight back home. You can imagine how pleased my wife was to greet Odysseus at the door, long absent and freshly unemployed.<\/p>\n
It was time to step up. In March 2008, I launched the Live2Sell Group with a small team of six employees. It was a call center based in my then-hometown of Cebu, in the Philippines. It allowed me to leverage every professional skill I already had and channel the energy that I now realize, in hindsight, was entrepreneurial spirit.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll tell you more about that little company in just a minute, but let\u2019s pause. Does any of my story resonate with you? Since you\u2019re reading Michael Hyatt Magazine, I\u2019m guessing it does.<\/p>\n
So many of us suppress our entrepreneurial spirit and instincts in order to keep our jobs or our sense of security. We do so at the expense of our own happiness, success, and fulfillment. Today, security in a traditional company is wishful thinking. That makes this the perfect time to consider entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n\t\t
