I Thought Quitting My Job Was The Path to Freedom. I Was (Dead) Wrong.
It was an expensive lesson to learn
I love digging into my data to find inspiration.
In my recent newsletter to my subscribers, I included a few links about different people making money doing different things.
Among those, most people click on a link about a 29-year old turned his side hustle into a full-time business and made $114,000/year.
I had a few other links to share on how other people make six figures, but this one had the most clicks. Why?
I suspected it was the component of being able to quit his job while working less. That was appealing.
Why do we all want to get out of the rat race?
I wish I had known the answer 4 years ago when I quit my corporate job.
I was in a good role and worked with amazing teams, but I didn’t want to get involved in company politics, so I quit.
I thought I had everything figured out. Start a business and never need to deal with those political bulls*it again.
At the time, I was listening to many business podcasts, advocating getting rich through building businesses.
