Really, I cannot say just how much I DESPISED my job!

Sitting in my cubicle, just typing away at my computer, working on case after case. There I was, trading my time for money, making my company richer, when I was so unhappy and not getting anywhere in life, personally and financially.

I woke up everyday feeling depressed, thinking "I have to go there AGAIN?" I would seriously feel the headache before even waking up...

There were quotas to meet, managers to answer to and I was getting sick of it! I'd had enough!

Guess what I did?

I fired my company!

That feels freakin' awesome! I took this decision because I made 3 figures in november which is proof enough that Wealthy Affiliate works.

I want to make this my career and my future and working on the computer at my job 8 hours a day, to come home to work, yet again, on the computer for my online business, was giving me migraines.

I had to choose.

And I chose my FUTURE, my DREAMS, my FREEDOM!

Yea, some of you may be shaking your head right now. You must be thinking that I'm crazy, because real life is not a dream. The bills aren't gonna get paid by themselves.

Well, I took care of that problem; I found a small job in a warehouse where I'll be working afternoon shifts. At least, I can wake up in the morning, work on my online business while my mind is still fresh, then peacefully go to the warehouse in the afternoon, knowing that I completed the tasks for my online business for the day.

I'm not getting paid as much at the warehouse, but it's gonna take care of the bills at least and it's not gonna give me migraines. Additionally, it's more fun of an environment where you get to talk to people and it's VERY LIGHT work.

It was like I had seen it coming; I had already paid for my yearly membership during the Black Friday sale, so I don't have a monthly fee to pay at WA. The only thing to pay for is $20 for my autoresponder.

I never thought my life would take such a turn.

But tell me, what would you have done?

I don't regret my decision, far from it!!! I feel more free than I was working at the office. I'm just curious about what you think and what you would have done in my shoes.

Please share your thoughts with me... :)

Thanks for reading.

Hi Reyhana,

Congratulations on FIRING your company!

Controlling your own business and not being controlled by someone else's business is my motto. You've made a great decision. So many people go to work each day feeling the same way you did. Your health is more important than making money for someone else. I haven't had a raise in my current day job in two years. Let's see, I wonder who that money is going to?

You've started making money here at WA. It will only get better now.

Good luck on your journey!

It sounds great if you can afford it. You did right that you planned for it.
I would be happy to do it, but no warehouse job is going to pay for 3 kids in private schools, their classes, nanny and vacations.
We can't survive on one income, especially when mine is the higher one.
So I'll have to keep doing both things and my online progress will be slow.
Happy for you!

I quit my job last month but i was making over $1000 with my website so for me it was easier.

I would be too nervous to leave so early on making 3 figures but then again you have a part time job to supplement it.

Staring at the computer all day at work and then coming home to the same thing cannot be good for the eyes.

The only thing i miss about my old job is talking to people and having a laugh.

You will get no head shaking from me Reyhana, as I'm someone that has done the same thing many times, and now I no longer have to do it. When you finally make the move, you realize that it's not as bad as you thought. And now you get to focus on your business and watch it grow. Congrats on the move! I fully support it.

We don't think you are crazy at all. In fact, we did the same thing at the end of last year when we quit our hotel management job and moved to the coast. We then found Wealthy Affiliate and haven't stopped congratulating ourselves ever since.
Getting that afternoon job was probably a good idea, for your peace of mind if nothing else, but we have every confidence that you will quickly see your affiliate income increasing as you are able to commit more time to your 'real' job.
Good luck and we'll be looking out for updates.

i wish i could just go for it to and be done with what i do. I am burned out on it, no headaches but sometimes i hate the thought of another day, You sound like you have made the best decision for you and are happy and relaxed about it. I am rooting for you and here cheering you on.

Brilliant decision, Reyhana!

I'd would have done exactly the same thing,

In fact I have done the same thing. I've freelanced most of my working life, and even though it hasn't been easy, I don't regret it for a moment.

Five years ago I had taken a job in an office for six months and that almost broke me. Those were dark, dark days (the office itself was very nice, light and comfortable, but the dead-end job was killing me).

I took a day off one day, and never went back.

My 'real' profession as a musician is often unstable and you don't know where your next paycheck is coming from.
So, I started affiliate marketing to provide for my small children and give them a stable future, but without having to go to work for someone else.

I now work from home (I have to add that I am yet to make much money from my site, but I'm working super-hard so it's going to happen!), get to see my children however much I like, and not however much my boss thinks is enough.


Congratulations again on your decision! You will never regret it, I am sure of that!
Wealthy Affiliate gives such amazing training and the opportunity for all of us to learn how to earn online, you will be earning 4 and 5 figures in no time!

Best,
Alenka

Thanks for sharing Alenka! The fact that you know it's a DEAD-END will be enough to slowly make you wither away.

I'm much more at ease now and less stressed that I was before. I feel much better not having to rush when I wake up and for having enough time to work on my website, with my mind refreshed after a long night's sleep.

I even get the time and the energy to cook, whereas before, I would come back from work absolutely exhausted and couldn't lift a finger to do anything at home...

I'm so happy that you found what's working for you in the interim. I KNOW it will happen for you, just like it happened for me. I was already sold when I made my first sale on WA... lol...

I know $50 won't pay all the bills, but I knew that if I could make one sale, then I could make more! And that definitely happened!

DOn't give up, no matter what happens. Keep being the strong woman that you are and you'll see success!

Wow Reyhana - go girl!

Awesome. That takes guts and you will be rewarded in shed loads.

What a wonderful way to start the New Year. 2019 is going to be incredible for you, we just know it.

Keep doing what you are doing and all will be well. Sometimes, success in life is not all about money, it is about lifestyle as well.

Enjoy

Jon and Debbie

Thanks, guys! I really hope that 2019 will be when I don't need another job to help support the household financially.

And you're so right! It's the lifestyle!

I don't even feel as stressed now, even if am making less money. But I so feel bad and stressed out, when I somehow can't work on my website.

lol

Reyhana,

That is awesome..You go girl, tell those people..."You're Fired"

I love it, in fact I started a remote job recently, worked a week and realized they did not pay me enough to do this.

I agree!

I was sitting at my desk and although it was in my home, I always found myself working on my site while on their clock. And, I work and did the same thing...Fired those people...lol

Go for your freedom, I was teach my kids do for self, it's the best thing you can do in life.

I know i am going for it, I can not work for no one anymore. No matter how long it takes.

I started a year ago. And made my first 3 figures within 38 days. It was awesome but, life hit in and I had to slow down on my site. I have lots of kids...anyways, I am back and on track and not letting anything stop me this time...

To your continued success and I am so proud of you...

Kisha

I understand! When it's not for you, you just don't feel comfortable and it feels like it's a waste of your time...

No more! It's been going well so far, except that work has been a little slow, but it's still bringing in some money. :)

I can say that although I'm not making as much, am not so stressed.

But on the other hand, I get stressed when I can't work on my website... lol

Thanks a lot for your support and for sharing your relatable story..

Reyhana, I know that it is probably a little scary right now. I admire your decision to take control of your life.. I have seen and reviewed some of your article and know that you have what it takes to be successful and you will. I will keep you in my thoughts for a successful transition to the lifestyle that you want.
Jerry

It was really scary!!! I'm so sorry for the late reply.. I had so much to do that this blog went to the complete bottom of my notifs and I forgot about it... lol

But that's what I want to do! I want to take complete control over my life. It will be hard for a few more months, maybe even upto one year, but once I'm starting to earn a full-time income, then I'm definitely quitting the warehouse job too.

Thanks very much Jerry and I'm looking forward to your success stories as well.. :)
