This week's Top 10 Opportunities

Issue 793, Sun 11 May, 2025

Dear Escapees,


What does a rich life look like for you?


Is it flexible hours so you can pick up your kids from school? The freedom to travel for a few months a year? Doing work that actually means something to you - not just paying the bills?


Whatever your version is, it’s valid. And it’s worth fighting for.

The truth is: work is non-negotiable for most of us. But how we work, where, and why - that’s where we have far more power than we’re often led to believe.


And if you’ve been meaning to do something about your career for a while now - now is your moment.


This is your last chance to join the Career Change Accelerator before the doors close at midnight tomorrow (Tues 13th May) ⏰.


There are just a few places left. Starting on 20th May, it’s an 8-week online journey designed to help you get clear on what you really want, explore new directions, and actually do something about it - with support, structure, and accountability baked in.


If you’re ready to stop drifting and start doing, now’s the time. Hit apply - and make this the moment things start to shift.


👉 Apply now

👉 Download the syllabus


Here’s to building a career (and life) that feels truly rich—on your terms.


Happy Escaping!
