How I Quit My Job

See this picture above, that is my resignation letter I turned in on August 15th this year and I fired my boss and quit my job at Staples.

Because I was leaving for my trip to Maui the following week I decided to leave a bit earlier I was totally DONE! DONE! DONE!

I said to myself, "Time for me to live my life on my terms!"

Oh yes! let me dish...

About a year ago I had to go back to the workforce because I was in a terrible financial situation where I couldn't afford much of anything.

I couldn't afford to buy me new clothes, new car parts and repairs, new shoes for my child, new bicycle, new vacation, the utility bills, visit my parents, visit my brothers, buy medicine, get my teeth fixed, my college school loan, and even a date night with Rich.

Having a job kept me comfortable because I was okay with knowing I had a weekly paycheck. I was comfortable knowing I had some sort of job security, (ehmmm.. doesn't exist).

I was comfortable with my daily commute to work. I was comfortable with my co-workers and loved seeing them everyday but the job itself was exhausting and painful to my body.

If you ever worked as a cashier or floor sales associate you know those steel floors do a number of hurt on your feet,legs, and lower back.

I'm sure you can relate.

But here is the thing all that changed when I decided to stop thinking like an employee and start thinking like an entrepreneur by getting uncomfortable.

I've always had the entrepreneur spirit inside of me, every time I would go to work I felt like it wasn't the place for me to be.

Do you feel like that when you go to work?

I love this quote by Donald Trump, he said: “Get going. Move forward. Aim High. Plan a takeoff. Don’t just sit on the runway and hope someone will come along and push the airplane. It simply won’t happen. Change your attitude and gain some altitude. Believe me, you’ll love it up here.”

Everyday that feeling hit me hard when I knew I had to go to a job that I wasn't fond of going to and it wasn't easy to shift as a entrepreneur.

But I made it happen and in 5 months of working with our business and I was able to be
the first in the company to earn 6-Figures, quit my job, and travel to Maui, Hawaii with my family.

Now if you have a job, then walk away from your job by doing it smart like I did. I knew it would take time to gain these new digital skillsets and build a 6-Figure income it just came quicker than I can imagined so I pretty proud of what me and Rich did.

You never want to leave a job before you become successful that is insane and if anyone tells you do that don't listen to their amateur advice. I'm telling you to keep it and change your mindset like I did by taking the funds that is left over after all your bills are paid and set aside a marketing and advertising budget.

Take that money and put it into your business for self-education, tools to run your business, creating and running ads.

My advice to you as you're reading this is do not settle for what the status quo expects of you. You are deserve better than that, your significant other deserves better and your kids deserve better.

Take action and get focused on your vision, hone in it like a laser beam and do not look back.

Cheers to our mutual success!
