I'm a man of my word, so I'm going in right now to resign from my corporate job and leave the corporate world behind me. If you don't know me, my goal on this page has been to document my progress in quitting the corporate world, as it's been my goal since the start of this year. Ever since I graduated college in 2021, I just felt like there's a lot more to life than doing these jobs that I was doing. I've had better and worse jobs, but ultimately all of them have left me unfulfilled, and honestly, I just feel like I'm capable of much more. So I set out on a goal this year to become self-employed and make money online so that I can work from home where I want, spend more time with my family, and live a life that I feel like I deserve to live. I tried and failed at about seven different business models, all the way from selling crossword books on Amazon to Shopify stores to clothing brands to a band to an online piano course. Like, I've done literally so much. Ultimately landed on TikTok Shop and I said, this has to work, I'm going to make this work. My goal for last month was to do $100 a day for 30 days straight and do $3,000 in a month on the side of my full-time job, and I ended up doing $10,000 last month. So I was like, okay, smash that goal. If I could do $10,000 with a job, that means I could definitely do more without a job. And so, like I said, if I was able to hit that number, I'd go in and resign from my job start of June, and that's exactly what I'm doing. So for everyone who's followed along this journey, thank you so much for the support. It means a whole lot to me and it's been really exciting and it's been great for all of you guys to hold me accountable and for me to hold myself accountable. And I can't wait to share the next part of this journey with you guys, which is going to be helping you guys escape your jobs, giving you tips and tricks on how to do it, what I did, what worked for me, time management skills, stuff like that. Like, I genuinely want to help people get out of miserable situations because I know it's just a bad feeling having to stay in these jobs when it's taking time out of your lives. And it just feels like if you just deserve to live a better life and not sit in an office full-time, because I know it's just not for everybody. It's for some people and that's fine and a lot of people are happy with the security that jobs provide, but for me personally, I just have not felt fulfilled doing these and I was like, we have one life. I have to live the life that I feel like I deserve to live. And so I put everything, I put my all into this and we're at a point now where I have to go do this. So, it's scary, I'm a little bit nervous, obviously. It's a nerve-wracking feeling going from, you know, a guaranteed paycheck to where, you know, my income depends on how hard I work. But, you know, I'm not scared because I know I can do it now. So, again, thank you so much for everybody who supported this journey and on to the next chapter.
