75 Hard Challenge: Breaking Up with Corporate for Transformation

Today is a day of immense significance in my life. As I complete the “75 Hard” challenge, I reflect on the journey that led me to embark on this demanding path. It all began 75 days ago when I made a life-altering decision—to bid farewell to my 18-year corporate job, the same job that had become an integral part of my identity. I wanted to follow my passion, to become a life coach full-time, and grow my coaching business, which had been a side hustle for four years since I completed my certification in August 2019.

Chapter 1: The Decision to Leap
The day I submitted my resignation letter marked the start of my “75 Hard” challenge. This decision took a lot of work. Leaving behind the familiar, secure world of my corporate career was a significant leap of faith. It was a decision that took courage, which meant stepping into a world full of risks, doubts, and questions.
Chapter 2: The Breakup Milestone
The “75 Hard” challenge became more than just a personal development journey; it was my breakup milestone with the corporate world. The challenge wasn’t just about fitness and discipline; it was about preparing my mindset for this new chapter in my life. Every workout, every page read, every gallon of water, every piece of bread I missed, and each daily discipline was a reminder that I was capable of facing and conquering challenges.
Chapter 3: The Power of Belief
Throughout this journey, one thing stood out as stronger than all my doubts and fears: belief. I believe profoundly in my coaching. I love being a coach, and I’m passionate about playing a role in the transformations of people, helping them become who they truly want to be in each season of their lives. I believe in myself and my abilities.
Chapter 4: I Can Do Hard Things
Finishing the “75 Hard” challenge is a testament to my commitment to aligning with my true self. It’s a declaration that I can do hard things, just as I can navigate the challenges and uncertainties of this new chapter in my life. This challenge embodies the spirit of resilience, determination, commitment, and belief in my journey.
A Leap of Faith
As I prepare to wrap up my corporate job at the end of February next year, I carry the lessons and the strength gained from my “75 Hard” journey. It has taught me that, even in the face of uncertainty, I am ready to take a leap of faith towards my dreams. I’m here, ready to help, support, and empower you as Coach AnnaJo, and I am committed to being part of your transformation.
