People Who "LOOK" Rich Are Unhappy

Many professionals and self-employed individuals often transition from the corporate world to starting their own business, capitalizing on the skills they honed—be it marketing, accounting, or another specialty. In the corporate sphere, they excelled at their roles, gaining recognition and respect, which led them to believe they could carve out their own path as entrepreneurs. And while their business may flourish initially, creating the impression of a picture-perfect life with a nice car, vacations, and the autonomy they once craved, there's an underlying trap many fall into. They end up becoming prisoners in their own golden cage.

Entranced by the allure of their self-importance, they take on every task, big or small, within their company. From deciding on large-scale financial strategies like taking out loans to minute details such as choosing the brand of tea for the staff, they become the linchpin for every decision. This micromanagement may seem like dedication, but it’s often a sign of an entrepreneur who cannot let go. They fail to delegate or build a team they can trust, opting instead to be the sole instrument of value in their business.

What they miss is the realization that they've merely traded one type of confinement for another. While they are no longer tethered to the corporate world, they are now shackled by the self-imposed need to oversee every aspect of their venture. They experience decision fatigue, feeling the weight of each choice—both major and trivial. Over time, this constant decision-making becomes mentally exhausting, leaving little room for strategic growth or innovation.

Their business, which could be a source of freedom and scalability, remains limited because they can't step away. They are not building a company that works for them; rather, they are working for the company. The golden cage is beautiful, no doubt—a testament to their skills and hard work. Yet it remains a cage, keeping them confined to a life where they are always "on," always responsible, and never truly free.
