I quit my job almost 6 years ago and haven’t looked back. Being freed of the golden handcuffs allowed me to explore many things, all leading to personal freedom, time, control, happiness and never feeling like I’ve worked since. It also gave me the bandwidth and desire to explore alternative niches, like crypto. NFT art is up your alley and you can capitalize huge if you get the right connections. Moral of the story is that you just needed to take this big leap of faith in pursuit of more happiness, and you’re now in control. It’ll take time, but everything you do now is for you, and not for someone else to make money off of you in exchange for your time.
Also, you sometimes have to give up who you were for what you’re going to be. Insanity is also doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results. The palette is blank now. It’s time to focus on serving yourself and benefiting from that emotionally, and ultimately financially. Each day is a gift now.
Couldn't have said any of it better myself... and of course, when I tell myself all these things I just think I'm crazy and don't really believe it sometimes! 😬
Seriously though, thanks for the kind words of encouragement, it's great to hear the support and logic from an outside perspective. I've always been amazed and inspired by your lifestyle and pursuits so I know you understand. I'm excited to see where I'm at in 6 years!
