For everyone thinking of quitting their job to start a business.

It's been 4 years since I quit my 9-5 job to take my business full-time... I was broke and living "paycheck-to-paycheck" for most of these 4 years, until half a year ago when my Etsy shop and Youtube channel started taking off, and I could finally live my dream of being a digital nomad.

If you're thinking about quitting your job to start a business, leaving your job to take your side business full-time, or starting a business so you can live out your dream, this is the video for you.

I share the most important lessons I learned along the way after I quit my job to become a full-time entrepreneur. I hope you enjoy this video!

P.S. I started my first side business (calligraphy business) 9 months before quitting my job in May 2019 if you're wondering about my timeline.

Its's easier to go from 1 to 2 then from 0 to 1. Loved that quote! Thank you for the motivation! 🔥💪🏻

I'm going through this right now thanks for sharing all that you've mentioned is exactly where I'm stuck on. I quit my job with nothing lined up trying to figure what to do with my life as I've always been a creative but lost alot of it through my 9-5. Now figuring out how to get more clients for what I live to do

You inspired me to work on my etsy store after opening but not working on it. I now have 11 sales and 1 - 5 star review its amazing I will never look back. I love your content🔥

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my YouTube channel 5 months ago about self development. Now I have 312 subs and almost > 100 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.

Thank you for another great video Dina! It's very encouraging :) My started photography business 3 months ago and you're totally right it took me long to start but I'm so happy I have started and calling myself a business owner. 😊

Such an incredible video. Well edited, put together, quality content, honest, transparent, just amazing, thank you!

I started this account almost 5 years ago and because of becoming a teacher..I became so tired. I’ve finally decided to quit this year and go for my dream of focusing on my business and starting my YouTube again! I feel all over the place right now but slowly getting out of depression too. It’s been so tough, but your video has inspired me Dina!❤

Hi Dina! Love how you can talk to the camera for so long. I can put two sentences together on camera before I need to pause, think of the next sentence and then start recording again. Love watching your personal growth
