When Tabitha Brown told entrepreneurs and artists to “get a job,” the internet had feelings. In this episode, I share why I agree with her—and what I’d add. Getting a job doesn’t mean giving up on your dream. It means choosing provision over pride and finding peace while you build. But here’s the catch: don’t get just any job. Get one that aligns with your purpose.I’ll walk you through:<ul><li>Provision should not be viewed as punishment</li><li>How aligned work supports your purpose</li><li>What to look for in your next role so it’s not just a paycheck—it’s preparation</li></ul> If you’ve been feeling stuck, discouraged, or ashamed about needing income while building your vision, this episode will remind you: you’re not failing. You’re funding your future.✨ Download your free Soft Life Purpose Blueprint here: https://bit.ly/purposefinderGPT 💻 Book a Flow in Purpose private session: https://calendly.com/raykeltolson/flow-in-purpose-private
