episode 61: I QUIT My Job: Why & How I Quit My 6-Figure Job & How This Affects My Journey To Financial Independence
When I first started Journey To Launch, it was primarily to chronicle my journey to launch to Financial Independence. I had no way of knowing then, that today, this very same outlet that helps me share my journey and connect with so many people would cause the biggest detour on my Financial Independence path.
Being able to do something I love and potentially make a living from it has allowed me to reach my dream of freedom way earlier than I could have ever expected. While striving to reach the ultimate goal of financial independence, I’ve found a way to achieve a freedom today that I would not have otherwise have known.
On today’s podcast, I’m talking about:
- How I came to the decision to quit my 6-figure job
- Why I decided now was the best time to walk away
- How this changes my Financial Independence journey
- The financial, mental & emotional things I did to prepare for this big life change
- Future plans for me and Journey To Launch
