How to Properly Ditch Your 9 to 5

If you’re asking yourself, “Should I quit my job?” the answer is yes.

Most people who have jobs should quit their jobs. But they can’t. And you probably can’t either. At least not this very second.

How do you quit a job you hate, tolerate, or feel lukewarm about and replace it with a dream job or a business that helps you make a full-time living?

I can only speak from experience. Sometimes, it doesn’t even feel like I did all the work to pull it off, but I did. Some words of hope for you — I used to be so extremely lazy you wouldn’t even believe it. I love that because it gives me hope for everyone.

I know enough people who have successfully quit their jobs to know it’s possible. The intricacies of our paths were different, but the core philosophies and actions were the same.

It’s weird. On the one hand, quitting your job just takes a series of gradual steps that are easy enough to achieve in and of themselves. It’s not…hard. But also, it’s super hard.

Hard because the steps combined are daunting. And also hard because you can’t do the steps in a vacuum. You have to do them on top of having the job. I’m not like other self-improvement writers who, well intentioned or not, want to sell you a dream.
