A five-part series detailing the lead up, the exact moment, and what immediately transpired after my decision to leave the security of a recurring paycheck to full-heartedly pursue creative entrepreneurship.
Whatever my future looks like right now or whatever shape it begins to take, the decision to leave my job to pursue my entrepreneurial dream was absolutely the best decision. This decision was the beginning of my personal revolution.
As badly as I longed to fully & wholly devote myself to building a business, I never wanted to contribute to the sleazy side of creative entrepreneurship that sends the message that you can quit your job & make your first million overnight.
I am here to share my experience with you which looked absolutely nothing like any of those shady ads plastered all over Facebook & Instagram.
In a sense, I had unintentionally resigned myself from dreaming big & attaining the life I desperately longed for.
Resilience will only take you so far. You have to meet it & then make a move if you want to switch up your stagnant situation.
You are going to run into naysayers & people who doubt your ideas or ability when you are breaking the mold to do something different. If your life matters to you, and it absofuckinglutely should, you’ll politely tell these people to kick rocks as you move forward in your purpose.
As I enter almost one full year of full-on entrepreneurship, this journey has been an interesting one to say the least. Considering everything that has happened and everything I am about to share with you, I am rejoicing in the choice I made in January and I am proud that I am still standing, still writing.
But it hasn’t been all rave reviews and smooth sailing since that fateful day in January.
