Become Obsessed with Your 5-9, Not Your 9-5

Don’t quit your 9–5 job.

Just shift your optimism and energy from a job over to a 5pm — 9pm side hustle. If you worked as hard at your 5–9 as you do your 9–5, you’d be surprised by the results.

I remember when I made the transition.

I’d just been overlooked for another promotion and got another haircut on my annual bonus because my employer’s stock price went down. I’d had enough of the games.

So I didn’t quit. No. I just checked out of my job. I did the bare minimum. I stopped giving a damn in meetings or when a new CEO came.

While my colleagues got distracted with corporate games, I got focused on after-work games — you can too. Those after-work games changed my entire life and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

Here are some ideas to radically improve your 5–9 side hustle.
