So basically, adding HOM is adding this element of expanding the ways in which I’m progressing at work.
So on Emperor I’ve just work harder to be more effective at what I currently do and then attempt to look for where I can take on more responsibility for direct financial gain or minimize my efforts at work to focus them elsewhere if the financial gain, or really ‘freedom gain’, doesn’t look like it will will be yielded output.
So I always get a bit caught in an internal divide on Emperor of giving everything to work or making it a minimal element in my life, mentally and timewise, while looking for more effective ways to progress towards goals/freedom outside of work.
Since adding HOM- I’ve given up trying to be good at my current role, I’m relying on pure trust and faith in the people I work with that they value you me enough, and I value myself enough that I can add value or stand up for adding value in a different capacity.
Internally I’ve let go of the significance of ‘staying small’ and my concern whether anything works out or not.
What this looks like is me replacing myself without any full clarity on agreements on my next role. Normally I would never do this, but everything in my instinct on HOM is saying this is the best thing possible. So I’ve now taken on a role of recruiting and evaluating prospects, candidates, interns for multiple new positions were creating. I’m also designing/researching/ creating the evaluation/ interview process and building the cultural blueprint for the new company being created. I’m enjoying this way more than the usual stuff and once all the admin/daily operations tasks are taken off my plate by whoever is coming in-I could potential get really creative or just orchestrate the team-while doing very little of the execution myself-honestly something I’m REALLY good at. Big picture overview, working with people, accounting for the all the details/weeds but rarely getting in them.
Also the team has brough in external people who are amazing ‘people’ people and at company-reorganization and I’m working/ in conversation with them on creating a new role/title/function etc based off what I want.
Negotiations and financials will come next but as off now I’m just operating off good faith, relational power, and ‘the long game’
I’ve been intending and wanting to have work that doesn’t feel like work and makes a lot of money. Feels like play, challenging in a great way at times and flowing, get to be my best self there, makes a ton of money. That’s my rough blueprint whether at where I am at now or new places, or entrepreneurial.
I’m also naturally find myself asking people about job opportunities and building out support of people who would want to help me find alternatives.
Just today- a friend asked if I’d want to work as a bar tender- for a bar down the block for my house. I was like ‘hell yeah’. $500+ more a week of working a night or two, and meeting a ton of attractive woman in NYC. I don’t know what will happen with that -but things like that are more and more unfolding.
Also I listen to maybe 3-6 minutes of HOM total a week. The day I run it the effects are overt, and then everything else is subtle.
