I QUIT MY JOB. NO PLAN. NOT HIRING IN THIS ECONOMY?? MENTAL HEALTH > MONEY

Transcript

I quit my six figure corporate job with no backup plan two weeks ago. Yes, in this economy? I was burnt out and miserable. I cared more about the company than they ever cared about me. I did everything right, got a degree, got a high paying job at a huge company, got another degree, had a higher salary, and I still wasn't happy. So I chose my mental health over money. Now I just wanna make enough to live and actually enjoy my life. I'm giving myself one year, no corporate job. I'm testing different ways to make money outside of corporate, sharing everything, what works, what doesn't work, and exactly how much money I'm making. Follow to see if this is the best decision I've ever made, or if I've made a huge mistake. Honestly, I might regret this.

I quit my corporate job 2 weeks ago with no plan. I was burnt out, miserable, and tired of chasing money just to feel stuck. I’m giving myself 1 year to figure out how to make money without going back. I’ll share everything: what works, what doesn’t, and actually how much I make along the way. If this works, it changes everything. If it doesn’t… I’ll be applying for jobs again. Let’s see if this is the best decision I’ve ever made… or a huge mistake. #careerpivot #quitmyjob #corporatelife #burnout #lifeexperiment
