From Employee To Self-Employed

In this, our second episode we take a look at how switching from waged employment to self-employment is something which requires a huge mental shift, and we wanted to talk about the ways that we have coped with it thus far.

For those of you working a 9-to-5 job, we're all familiar with how mentally draining it can be and we take nothing away from that in the least. When you work for someone else, you have to please others in very specific ways. You need to make sure you stay within your lane and respect various boundaries and in many ways, this is the same for you once you go solo but there are some other considerations which are interesting to explore especially if you are considering this as a path for your future.

The ability to be an entrepreneur isn't learned in a classroom. Nothing quite prepares you for what it's actually like to become your own boss, having to manage everything from finances to customer service and all the unexpected skills you realise you need but which you never even thought you would ever need to attain.

Now, this kind of shift may sound daunting! But it's not all bad news. If your business succeeds, you succeed and more than often those connected to you are also uplifted in a number of ways.

Join us on the podcast and let's take a look at what that mental shift was like.

About the Podcast

Vibing With Vibe
Entrepreneurship, business, creative, advertising, marketing and life!
As a young, dynamic and multi-faceted creative agency nestled in the heart of Johannesburg South Africa, Vibing With Vibe is a space that engages people to think about themselves in ways that help them build their own unique journeys of success. 

Through documenting our own practical work of building a brand and business we want to bravely show others that it is not only possible but critical to think, engage and share with deliberate intention.

As young black South Africans, we explore the notion of whether it is possible to build a business that raises the collective consciousness of those who come in contact with it for the better as well as still being ambitious and driven to succeed.

Vibing With Vibe is not only a space where we seek to explore the practical challenges faced by those trying to build businesses in a developing economy but also the internal mental and emotional shifts that need to take place to do so in a way that is sustainable and authentic.

We want to challenge both the historical and current stereotypes of what it means to be successful and how to get there and ultimately replace these with ones that place humility, care, honesty and self-awareness at the core of how we approach our work and interact within the world.
