"When you're 20 you care what everyone thinks, when you're 40 you stop caring what everyone thinks,

when you're 60 you realize no one was ever thinking about you in the first place"

Whatever path you choose in life, always remember the end result is still death. So why not take chances and do what you really want.

I was just thinking about quitting my job to focus on my business, and this popped up. Divine timing💕
Update: I did it. Best decision ever.
Universe aligned everything perfectly. I don't struggle for anything. Abundance just flows to me. Good luck😘

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
UPDATE 2024:Update: I went back to work in Jan 2022. (After 2years of not working)To pay a few things off and get myself situated. I recently quit my job again(April 4th 2024) after working there for 2 years. That job almost killed me . Nose bleeds, panic attack, stress and etc. I also started a new business in Dec 2023. My journey isn’t perfect. I’m also childfree, student loan free and no car payment. I am only responsible for myself so that helps

If I quit my day job, I'm not fearful of other's opinions, I'm fearful of becoming homeless while working on my dream of working from home. But when I'm at my day job, all I can think about is my dream and I'm one step away from just walking out and never looking back.

Success is waking up in the morning and doing what you want to do.

I met a retired salesman in his 60’s finishing up his history degree. His dream was to be a history teacher. When most folks are retiring he was starting something new. I never forgot him.

Thanks for the advice. I'm 52 and quit the manufacturing world after 29 years. I got so tired of the corporate puppets coming down and acting like tyrants I turned walk in and handed in my 30 day notice. I worked as a supervisor but it turned into a supervisor, manager, HR and Safety manager job and expected us to work 12 hour days seven days a week. I decided screw that paid everything off I own. I now make knives and jewelry as my hobby and help my kids out with their business. Best thing I could of done.

The best things in life are free, stop accumulating things you don’t need, walk the dog, exercise, listen to music, help others, trust me you will be happier...

Your salary is the bribe your employer pays you to forget your dreams.

“If people are telling you no, they’re expressing their own fears.”

TRUTH.

[NicktheStumpGuy]

I remember when I gave my two week notice (to go full time into my business). I called my wife after, she asked me if I was nervous..I told her I never felt more confident. There is something reviving about knowing you're the only person in charge of your destiny. Follow your dreams!

Ive quit my day job for 5 years now. Endured plenty of shame from my family but the freedom I'm experiencing has made it all worth it! And I know things will only get better from here 😊

Started my own bussiness at 23 as a Designer/General Contractor, I'm 60 years old now and have always lived my dream, , when everyone told me i would fail, , , now I've started my other dream to buy and restore classic cars, and I will succeed again.

My mantra since age 60 has been, "It's none of my business what other people think." It's so liberating!

I did this years ago. It put me in the poorhouse. Now, I'm back to working with a whole new attitude and less stress. I do my dream job on the side. I need the money and benefits from my job.

7:52 "Your job is to do what your dreams tell you to do." That just hit me like a brick.

[mkadacollections]

Quit my job on Friday. This my first Monday without having a job. Well, I'm self-employed now. I read a book name The Exit Plan: A guide to leaving your 9-to5 permanently, that really helped put my plans into action. Good luck to everyone looking or who's left their job!

From somebody who's done this: There is a difference between fear of failure and fear of homelessness. When I got five mortgage payments behind, I was no longer focusing my creative energy on writing, I was losing sleep because I was about to lose my house. For a novelist anyway, I think the idea of quitting your day job is really bad advice. I have found it easier to be creative when I don't have to worry about where my next house payment is coming from. I've written six novels, one of them while unemployed and "chasing my dream." Lemme tell you - financial desperation does not improve your odds. I can still produce 10, 000 words a week just fine as somebody who gets a paycheck. And my books still don't sell. That problem is not solved by adding the anxiety of having no income. .02 from somebody who tried it and lost.

I watched this video a year ago and I quit my job to pursue building my own business. I left a very lucrative paying job in tech. Working for yourself is hard, working for someone else is hard but I now go to sleep at night feeling good about what I'm doing for myself. Don't quit your job if you don't have savings, don't quit your job if you don't have a plan. Don't quit your job if you do not have validated highly sought marketable skills. Do it when you have these three things figured out.
