I want to quit my job and pursue my dream. How can I gain enough courage to send in my resignation letter?

It seems that more and more people understand that the model by which you have a job that you hate but it puts food on the table, because following your dreams isn’t a feasible option, is going away.

Nowadays, you can find something that you’d really enjoy doing, and make good money doing it. As one of the greatest motivators of our time, Jason Stapleton, says – the are $100 million with your name on it every year that the global economy wouldn’t even feel that you gained. More and more people are starting to get that.

But while I would strongly encourage anyone to go at it themselves, I’m not sure I would quit my job and then pursue my dreams.

First, I would take the time to study my options, explore what possibilities there are (and there are loads) to afford whatever it is that your dream is.

Then start doing it while still working. You don’t have to jump straight in, you can dip your feet in the water. There’s almost no legitimate way you can stop working and start replacing that income the next day.

At some point, hopefully, you’ll get to a stage where you’re making enough money to turn your side hustle into your career. Good luck!

hope that helps
