    Bravo! Don’t quit your job just because you want be your own boss. Working for yourself is Harder, requires more discipline and you do more work - only difference is that it doesn’t feel like ‘work’ when you work for yourself and you can automate with likes of Amazon and eBay. I’m living proof that if you know your WHY you will ultimately get it and live it.

    I loved this! I actually start watching this, grabbed my journal and ask myself, "why do I want to quit my job?" for the past week and a half during the holidays, I stayed home with my kids. I am a single mother of 3. I loved it! So number one reason to quit is that I want to spend more time with my kids. Followed by I know I have the potential to be successful without needing a 9-5p job. I want to be my own boss and most of all, I love being creative! Another reason, I want to help others. I am starting a podcast and that is my first major project. I am very excited about what 2022 is bringing. Thank you so much!

From then on, if I can prove to myself that I can work for myself successfully, I will quit my electrician job and pursue a career owning a small business doing what I love. Do you think this could be a good plan?

I just hate trading time for someone elses goals basically. I never know what to do or anything. And it always feel like i just get in a bad loop and only care about being able to survive work and it makes my life suck. I get less time with the friends i barely get to see. I feel like i have less time to do what i enjoy and less time to find out what i even enjoy. I hate it and makes me so sad. Everyone around me is graduating and traveling Europe and im just stuck at home doing nothing. All i want to do is take care of my parents and be able to experience the world. Thats the only thing that makes me happy. It's miserable

The thing that I have not discovered how to do yet is create a solid stream of income from online courses, and products and do it consistently. I'm definitely working towards it and when I do find a way to support my family without having a traditional job I'm definitely going to quit the current one I'm in.
