What You Need to Know Before You Quit Your Full-Time Job
It has officially been a full year since I’ve been a full-time entrepreneur. I first started my business in the summer of 2019 while I was still at my full-time corporate job. For many months, I juggled both my 9-5 and the freelance clients I was undercharging. To give you an idea, I made $6000 in 6 months of starting my business. Needless to say, that is not enough money to quit my full-time job. So how did I do it?
In today’s episode, I’m telling my story about how I finally built my business up to allow me to hand in my two-week notice. I’m so excited to be sharing this because one of the most common questions I receive as a coach is “when did you know it was the right time to quit your job?”
This is why I’ll be diving into the nitty-gritty details from the decisions I wished I had made sooner, the things I wish I had known so that I could expedite the process, the conversations I had, and the mistakes I wish I avoided. If you’re a side hustler and you can’t wait to turn in your resignation letter, this episode is for you. Tune in as I share the things I wished someone shared with me, giving me a heads up on the things I needed to know before quitting my full-time job.
