How to quit your job:
1) self examination
-what about your job do you love?
-what do you want to change?
-how are you contributing to the problem?
(maybe it’s not the job that’s the problem)
2) discover your passion
-beyond your job, what do you love to do?
-if you did not need to earn a living, what would you be doing in three weeks?
(the idea behind this is that at first you’ll want to binge – world travel, shopping spree, etc.- but after the binge, what would you look forward to doing every day without the worries of income?)
3) create great content
-talk about your passion
-blog, podcast, video blog about your passion
-share your thoughts on your passion
-answer questions online
-contribute, contribute, contribute
(by creating great content, you’ll engage an audience who is passionate about your topic. This audience will come to trust you.)
4) network network network
-using the trust you’ve built through creating great content, you have the opportunity to expand your network
-meet other experts, engage with viewers and readers, reach out to luminaries
-these expanded network will lead to amazing opportunities
5) make the jump
-once the opportunities are offering more than your current job, it’s not a jump, but a step up
-take that step
(this works for any passion. Anything people care about. The opportunities are endless.)
