I Left My Job At Google And Started My Own Business — Here’s The Truth About Entrepreneurship.
Exactly one year ago I resigned from my role at Google.
As much as I loved my time there, my decision came down to this: I was way too deep into my comfort zone.
Life was just too easy — free breakfast and lunch served every single day, seven restaurants to choose from, an entire gym three floors underneath me, a swimming pool, a dentist, a laundry service, a barista brewing your coffee, two kitchens on every single floor.
My role was no longer challenging me either and I wasn’t learning anything new in my day-to-day tasks — I completely lost the thrill.
I figured I needed a change in scenery and some time off to shake things up a bit.
So I did what I thought was right.
I quit.
I said I was done.
And just like that, I handed in my resignation, packed my bags, and booked a flight out of Dublin.
I wasn’t too sure what I wanted to do after Google, but I knew this: I was approaching my fourth decade on earth and my heart was itching to finally try and start something of my own.
Something meaningful, impactful.
