How I Quit My Job & Built a Six-Figure Business

Feb 24

Four years ago, I was stuck.

I was sitting in a windowless office, watching the clock, waiting for the workday to end. I had a “good” job, a steady paycheck, and a clear career path ahead of me—but I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was meant for something else.

Sound familiar?

I knew I wanted more freedom,

more creativity,

and more control over my time.

But the idea of quitting? Terrifying.

Fast forward to today: I’m running a six-figure business doing what I love. And in this week’s episode of Living Your Daydream, I’m breaking down exactly how I made the leap from employee to full-time entrepreneur.

If you’re dreaming of quitting your 9-to-5 and turning your passion into a business, this one’s for you!

✔️ The financial and mindset prep that made the transition possible
✔️ How I landed my first paying clients before quitting

🔥 ACTION ITEM:

You don’t need to have everything figured out before you take action. Waiting for the “perfect” time will keep you stuck. Instead of overthinking, focus on what you can do right now:

✅ Figure out your bare minimum income goal—What’s the exact amount you need to pay your bills?
✅ Book your first paying client—Even if it’s small, proof of concept builds confidence.
✅ Set a quit date (even if it’s a year from now!)—A deadline makes it real.

Action creates clarity. Start before you feel 100% ready, and the next steps will reveal themselves. 🚀
