Jan 23, 2018

“I hate my job!” Maybe you have said this one too many times. Or maybe you never say it out loud, but you’ve been dragging yourself to work every day like a lifeless robot in autopilot. Well, life is too short to do something you hate. We want you to take action on this, to go through Sunday night excited about what’s in store for Monday morning.

On today’s episode, we share the blueprint to quit your job in 2018 -- a process you can take to start moving in the right direction, so you can stop chasing money and start living the life you’ve always wanted to live. We talk about why taking the time to think and put a plan in place is essential when quitting your job as well as the three-part process that prepares you to quit your job as you start grooming yourself to be your own boss.

 

“The reward you get after you work hard and sacrifice -- you cannot duplicate that feeling. And you want to do it over and over again.” - Kristin Ostrander
