When should you quit your job? This is one of the most common questions we have received on this channel so far, and so I thought I'd address it in this video.

This is by no means an exhaustive list, or a specific framework. Simply because I can't tailor a set of rules around when YOU should quit your job, based on your very specific circumstances. But thinking back to when I quit my job in the past to work on my passion full time, I remember what worked for me... and also, what I've learned since then.

So if you're thinking about the big question of "When should I quit my job?", hopefully this video will help. And as always, let me know below if you have any questions. Always happy to answer.

Please enjoy!

Have you already quit? Or planning to? Let me know below.

I’m about to quit my job and put in my 2 weeks this coming Monday. I hate my job and am so excited to take a 3 month break, travel, have free time to really discover what I’m passionate about and purpose is. I’m not sure what will happen after 3 months, if I’ll work at a different company or try to work for myself. But I know everything is rigged in my favor and what is meant to be is already mine.

I have a fantasy of storming out and making a big scene but I actually like my job (teaching college). My fantasy stems from previous jobs I didn't like a long time ago. :-) I think, as you mentioned, it's important to take the long-term view.

I finished my full time job just 4 days ago and have (in the last 4 days) earned 3 times my usual salary. But I followed lots of your advice. I built a buffer, I worked nights and weekends for 2 years to build clients, I treated my full time job as a university course and used it to build my skills ( I absorbed everything I could and made the most of their training offers) - then I made the jump. So far, I have amazed myself and feel so full of pride. I am tired, but its working. I was also very careful not to burn bridges and that has already paid off in the form of being hired back by my employer to work in a freelance capacity. Just 4 days...

Sorelle, I don’t know how, but I keep feeling you can read my mind and bring out the video I need now. I was thinking of leaving my job, because I’m not happy and want to focus on my filmmaking, but it’s not sustainable and me and my mum would struggle. This gave me the motivation to keep going and focus on my filmmaking until I get to a stage where I can support myself and my mum. Thank you. Really, a massive thank you. This was the kick up the bum knocking sense into me I needed. X

My side hustle I guess you can say is a business I own, been almost a year, and it’s been consistently bringing in more income than my day job. The itch to leave the day job to go full time and scale is getting stronger.

[shiiraspalette]

I’m a 21 year old business owner, parents told me to go for the traditional route, but I know ever since I’m young I want to be an entrepreneur. Your videos not only inspired me but motivate me to keep going and I signed up for the order course ❤️ super excited

[KatherineKosma]

I've been self employed since I finished university 3 years ago, and sometimes I wish I could handle a job so that I had a guaranteed wage but... in my experience all my previous bosses have been dumb, and I just cannot follow dumb instructions

[marimel]

Needed to see this today! Been thinking of quitting for a few months now. Sometimes when its in your head it sounds terrifying and so chaotic but thanks for putting it so coherently.

[Jon_Ryan]

What a topic Sorelle! It's like you're reading our minds...

[MoversGuild]

YOURE HAIR OMG SO CUTE!!!! It's so much more pastel and light than what we've seen you do before. I like the change!

[Nwakaego_]

Employed and watching this for the sake of it, but I’m definitely working on my exit strategy from the rat race. I really currently just need to be more disciplined, focused and not allow myself to burnout from my day job. Thanks for the video, great honest content.

[chanelcoco]

Great video. I recently started a pretty good full-time job AND my passion project at around the same time, and it's been such a cognitive dissonance to do both - I feel like I'm pulled in 2 opposing directions - the day job gives me security & stability, but the project has potential massive upside, and makes me feel way more fulfilled than I've ever been. Head over heart, heart over head, weighing the trade-offs daily is taking its toll!

[lauravillafani-creativeart]

I've been dreaming of having my own business since I was a little girl. I am now an adult woman and I don't own my own business. I have been watching all your videos and I want to thank you for them. I work part time so I don't go crazy (pandemic times), or depressed. You are inspiring me everyday to work on building a business and I hope I get the courage to do it someday. I am learning day by day to do what I love, it's finding the "how to start" the difficult part. I need to get stronger and build confidence in myself to jump and start doing something for me and for my community. Thanks for the encouragement and advice.

I remember when my father started his business and he kept telling me to do so too after I graduated, I didn't want to hear it. 8 years post graduation, I'm not working in the field that I studied in (long story there) and I've been working at a company that I'm disliking more and more every day.
This year I was able to invest (small investment) in my business, and I'm doing it on the side (3-5 hours after my 6-3 job), it's still on the ground, because I have a looonggg way to go, but the idea of quitting to start something that I don't even know will work is something I never considered, and I can't save up enough money to able to take care of basic expenses and invest in my business, so I am doing it slowly but surely while keeping my current job.

[kristin]

I really appreciate the practical approach that you take on this topic. I am currently working my exit plan, and I feel empowered knowing that I’m already implementing most of these strategies. Thanks so much for such timely content!✨

[viclucy-personalfinanceinv]

Oh yes I have heard of this so many times and have definitely thought about it! I would love to fully work for myself one day and be happy with what I am doing with my time. I totally agree with you theres so many things to consider before jumping ship. Its so amazing to hear your story! Thank you so much!

[CactusLadyCreation]

Thanks so much for this Sorelle! I've been running a small online art business full time for nearly 2 years now and am a new subscriber to your channel! Absolutely love hearing all the wisdom from your videos every Tuesday and Thursday - they definitely keep me feeling encouraged to keep going on this journey! Thanks again 🙃 much love and light!✨

[SorelleAmore]

Quit! (But don’t) but quit! (But don’t).
