When was the last time a new workplace word made you feel hopeful?

Job hugging. Quiet cracking. Ghost jobs. Revenge quitting.

And those are just four of the eight new terms entering our workplace vocabulary in 2026.

Not one describes a way forward.

Every one of those words is a coping mechanism. A way of managing conditions you didn't set and can't change.

There's another path forward. In the TES Generational Career Confidence Survey, 83% said business ownership is a viable alternative to a traditional career.

Recognizing the problem is easy. Knowing what to do next is harder. That's the work a Career Ownership Coach® does at no cost to you.

What would you do tomorrow if your entire division disappeared?

On the Career Compass Podcast, one guest described exactly that. Every rule a corporate career is supposed to reward had been followed. The division was shut down anyway.

“I sacrificed a lot of flexibility and freedom in exchange for something that’s not there anymore… I should have moved on before I was forced to move on.”

The perception of stability is real. The stability itself has been eroding quietly for years and by the time the decision gets made for you, your options have already narrowed.

In the TES Generational Career Confidence Survey, 66% of respondents said business ownership offers more job security than a traditional job. Not because ownership removes risk, but because it moves the risk into your hands instead of someone else’s.

A house fire is probably unlikely, but a career change isn’t. Which one have you actually prepared for?

September is National Preparedness Month.

You probably have a fire escape plan, an emergency fund, and a will you updated in the last few years. But here’s a tougher question: do you have a backup plan for your career?

Most people don’t. It means preparing for a possible layoff, knowing how much money you really need and considering whether AI could replace your skills.

According to the TES Generational Career Confidence Survey, 83% of Americans think owning a business is a real alternative to a regular job. But most people never actually make a plan to see if that could work for them.

It’s about taking charge of your future, and you can start while you’re still working, when you have options and time on your side.

As a lifelong business owner, I often wonder why so many talented people work incredibly hard every day to:

• Build wealth for someone else
• Let someone else determine what their time is worth
• Work around someone else’s schedule
• Allow someone else to decide when their position is no longer needed
• Spend decades working without building equity in something of their own

With so many PROVEN business models available today, I often wonder what keeps more people from exploring business ownership.
• Is it because they don’t know where to start?
• They don’t know what options are available?
• They aren’t sure how to fund a business?
• Or maybe they simply haven’t had someone show them a path.

Here’s an interesting exercise: This weekend, drive through one of the most successful neighborhoods in your area and ask yourself:

What do the people living here do for a living?

You may find that many built their wealth by owning businesses, investing in businesses, or creating assets rather than relying solely on a paycheck.

After more than 30 years of business ownership, I’ve experienced the rewards that come with building something of your own.

Today, I’ve dedicated this chapter of my career to helping other professionals explore whether business ownership could be part of their future.

There is no cost and no obligation to work with me. Sometimes the first step is simply understanding what proven options are actually available.
If you’ve ever thought, “Why am I spending my career building someone else’s dream instead of my own?” let’s have a conversation.

AI makes Ownership More Possible. The Question Is Whether It's Right for You.

The headlines frame artificial intelligence as something coming for your job. Another way to read the same data: as evidence that the barrier to ownership has dropped further, and faster, than most people realize.

Stripe found thousands of solo operators generating over $1 million in revenue with no employees at all. That group more than doubled between 2023 and 2025, and the number clearing $10 million nearly tripled.

A one-person company is a specific life. You're the sales team, the support desk, and the person fixing things at 9 p.m. on a Friday. Some people thrive on that. Others don't.

The real question is which version of ownership fits your goals . The career coaching process starts with you, not with a business. AI is going to keep getting better. Whether that's a threat or an opening depends almost entirely on whether you've looked at what's available to you and most people haven't looked at all.

Are you staying in your job because you want to be there or because leaving feels too risky?

If it's the second one, you're in the majority. ResumeBuilder.com survey found 57% of U.S. workers now identify as “job huggers”.

The July 2026 jobs report shows why. The U.S. economy lost 23,000 jobs in July, and the unemployment rate only fell because 264,000 people stopped looking for work altogether.

Job hugging feels safe, but it isn't free. Six months of waiting quietly becomes eighteen. The raise doesn't come. The skills don't grow. And eventually the decision gets made for you.

There is a third option: Together we can explore what you want your career to look like in five years and the many options that exist for someone with your background. Is it another role, a different leadership path, or something you build and own?

Holding on isn't the same as moving forward. What's really keeping you where you are?

Can you make a career change alone? Most people try.

One of our clients recently shared what it was like to work with a Career Ownership Coach®:

“Doing this on your own is daunting. You still have to find time to set up calls and do introductions. And hope you are approaching this okay. But the Career Ownership Coach® is there to make those connections, understand your interests, your strengths, your weaknesses, and everything else, and find something that’s best suited for you.”

Exploring career changes isn’t only hard because the decision is big. It’s hard because you’re doing it in the margins, between a full workday and everything else.

You can put in months of effort and still be missing the options that would have fit you best, simply because you never knew they were there.

A coach changes what you can see, and how honestly you can look at it. Your strengths. Your weaknesses. What you actually want your life to look like. No pitch. No pressure. A process, and someone in your corner while you work through it.

If uncertainty has you rethinking what’s next, a conversation is a good place to start.

Do you work in SALES for a large corporation?

If you’re good at what you do, you may be responsible for bringing hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in revenue into someone else’s company.

You make the sale. You build the relationships. You help grow the business.

And in return, you receive a salary, commission, or bonus while the company builds the equity.

But what if you took those same skills and used them to build something of your own?

What if you could:
• Build equity instead of just earning a paycheck
• Have greater control over your income potential
• Make the decisions instead of following someone else’s direction
• Create a schedule that works better for your life
• Build an asset that could have value beyond your next commission check

That is one reason I see so many successful sales professionals becoming interested in business ownership.

They already know how to communicate, build relationships, solve problems, overcome objections, and drive revenue. The question becomes: What could those skills accomplish if you were building your own business?

As a Career Ownership Coach, I help professionals explore that question and understand what business ownership could realistically look like based on their goals, lifestyle, finances, and strengths.

There is no cost to work with me and no obligation to move forward.

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to stop building someone else’s business and start building your own, let’s have a conversation. Get on my calendar.
