I remember the days I used to hate my job, the early mornings, long commutes and being in a place where I felt worthless with people who treat you like nobody. In fact the number of people who hate their jobs is tremendous and if you are reading this blog I know you hate your job too.
You start with high hopes. The energy is next level but with time reality hits. Things are not the same as you expected. People are mean, office politics, overburden of work and taking the credits for your ideas and achievement. Welcome to the real world my friend but in the whole situation there’s one thing which is keeping you there and you keep coming back: SALARY.
Yes, that 6 word letter keeps people working in their endless jobs which they hate for years and years.
Signs to quit your job
- No more passion to be there
- Not enough room to grow
- You feel you are trapped
- You want to do something of your own
Real Story of my friend
In 2022 a friend of mine used to work in a retail store. He was earning just enough to make the ends meet. He was tired and frustrated of living paycheque to paycheque. Long hour shifts and continuous cycle of living a monotonous life.
One day he decided that he wanted to go and travel to the US but he did not have a visa for it. He asked a few people who were doing US Visa appointments for a fee of a few hundred dollars just to fill the paperwork. He decided to do it on his own and filled all his documents himself because he did not want to spend the money they were asking for. If he needs some help he looks up on youtube. He ended up getting his US visa.
After that he also filled his girlfriend’s documents and then for some of his friends. He started feeling confident and had this idea of doing it for other people and started charging them a fee.
He started posting on Tiktok and had so many people reaching out to him. Once he had enough work coming in he quit his job. He works from anywhere now on his own terms. He only needs a laptop and an internet connection.
Why is online Business the best option for you?
You know why most people are afraid to start to jump from their job to their own thing? Because people think they need a lot of money to start a business. Which is somewhat true but we are here talking about online business. The things you require to start your online business is the things you already have: an internet connection, a computer and willingness to do something of your own. Rest are just the dots you need to connect and Boom! You run an online business of your own.
More reasons why online business is for you
You don’t need to quit your day job, you can build it on the side while working your full time job. Wake up early, stay up late, work on the weekends. I can’t decide the time for you but you know your schedule better so work accordingly.
The downside is you need to work extra hard and put in the extra hours in the initial phase but think about the upside, INFINITE INCOME POTENTIAL. You want that? or just want to stay stuck in your job?
