Quit Your Job

I quit my job in the shower every day.

As I would get up every morning and trudge to the shower to begin the workday, I would play out the scenario in my head. I would march into my supervisor’s office and tell him just what I thought of the organization, how unjustly I was being treated, and what I thought of his tie. Maybe I would even sweep the contents of his desk to the floor for emphasis, but he would most assuredly be a shell of the man he once was when I left. Sometimes, he even cried. It was beautiful.

Then I would get ready for work and start the day, never saying anything, and dreading what lay before me.

It wasn’t until I realized that I had control over my own life that I was able to leave and pursue what I wanted.

Many people want to leave the everyday grind of their job and start their own business. It’s part of the great American dream. In my next few posts, I will dig deeper into what YOU can do to leave a job you hate, begin your dream career, and make your business soar. Several topics we will cover include:

  • How do I decide what kind of business to start?
  • What is the first thing I need to do?
  • What information is available to help?
  • What is a Balance Sheet, and why do I care?

In the meantime, grab a copy of my free e-book, 30 For 30: 30 Tools to Take Your Small Business to the Next Level for some tools and ideas to get you started.

Start dreaming now. What could you do if you were set free from the everyday and combined your passion with your intelligence?
