Ninety days ago, I walked away from the corporate script.
No steady paycheck.
No title on the card.
No guaranteed next step.
Only a vision called Joint Leap.
I’ve been reflecting on what I’ve really gained—and what I’ve lost—through the lens of five types of wealth.
1. Time Wealth
In my last 90 corporate days, I did just 4 coaching sessions.
In my first 90 days with Joint Leap, I invested my time in 122 passion activities:
- 92 coaching sessions
- 28 articles and posts
- 1 podcast invitation
- 1 career fair coaching invitation
It’s not about the number itself.
It’s about the feeling of time shifting from “obligation” to “passion.”
2. Social Wealth
In my last quarter at work, I counted 3 meaningful moments outside the office.
This quarter, I had 18:
- 4 baseball games with kids
- 3 family trips and more on the horizon
- 1 kid’s graduation
- 1 kid’s field trip
- 9 gatherings with friends
I still remember standing in the bleachers at my daughter’s graduation, clapping until my hands hurt.
And thinking: no paycheck could buy this moment.
These aren’t just numbers.
They’re memories I wouldn’t trade.
3. Mental Wealth
In corporate: few quiet mornings I can recall.
Now: 90 hours of stillness — one hour each morning.
Time to reflect, to write, to breathe.
Plus two courses — one on personal branding, one on empathy.
For me, mental wealth feels like oxygen I didn’t know I was missing.
4. Physical Wealth
Before: 13 hours of exercise in 90 days.
Now: 90 hours — one hour a day.
The habit isn’t perfect. Some mornings I still struggle to get moving.
But the discipline is slowly turning into a rhythm.
5. Financial Wealth
This is where I lost the most.
I earned much less than what I made in my last 90 corporate days.
And I don’t take that lightly.
Financial wealth matters — it gives safety, options, and dignity.
The only reason I can take this leap is because of years of saving and preparation.
And not just savings.
My corporate years gave me the leadership experience, global exposure, setbacks and learnings that now form the foundation of my coaching work.
Without them, Joint Leap wouldn’t stand.
I know this part will take time to rebuild.
But I step forward with gratitude for the foundation that carries me today.
Reflection
So yes, I lost on one metric.
But I gained on four.
It isn’t a victory lap.
It’s a reminder: each type of wealth matters at different seasons.
Right now, I’m investing in time, health, relationships, and purpose — while planting the seeds of financial stability again.
If you looked back at your last 90 days through these five lenses —
Time, Social, Mental, Physical, Financial —
where are you rich, and where are you poor?
