Late night Linkedln musings

Late night LinkedIn musings…

You ever lie awake at midnight, staring at the ceiling like it holds the answers, running through your usual career crisis thoughts? Mine used to go something like this…

I need a new job.

Maybe I should start a business.

What if I faked my own death, moved to a remote island, and became a mysterious figure known only as ‘The Career Whisperer,’ running a tiny coffee shop that never seems open but somehow always has customers?

At first, people would gossip about me. No one knows where The Career Whisperer came from. Some say I used to be a corporate executive who walked out of a meeting one day and just never stopped walking. Others insist I was a burned-out tech founder who faked a failed startup to disappear. Theories would spread. I’d do nothing to correct them.

My shop would have no official hours. People would wake up to find steaming lattes on their porches with handwritten notes like “It’s time to make your move” or “Your boss doesn’t deserve you” or “You don’t need a life with the word synergy in it”. No one would know how they got there.

And as the legend of The Career Whisperer grew, I’d sit by the ocean, sipping espresso, knowing deep down I was the human equivalent of a fortune cookie message helping nudge people into new careers.

Happy I chose option B and started a business, but option C is still on the table for the future if anyone knows a remote island in need…

Anyway, what’s your I should drop everything and become a ____ fantasy?
