FREEDOM

I don't mean this in a put your feet up and enjoy the sun kind of way(I've been doing a lot of that), more of a mental switch from constantly being on the go and rushing for years and years. My brain won't stop telling me that I need to hurry up and get stuff done even though I have no deadline.

The first few weeks I had to constantly remind myself when I'm out doing things or even doing chores around the house that I can take my time.

I'm slowly getting used to it! Im enjoying this so much that it's literally my motivation to do the best I can and absorb as much information as possible to be able to live this way for the rest of my life

Its such an eye opener being able to see how being burnt out and working a 9-5 has affected me mentally and physically. My back pain has reduced so much and I've been waking up earlier than I ever thought possible.

Definitely the best decision of my life and hopefully it's the start to a whole new way of living!

Will keep you posted on how next month goes 🤞

I've quit my 9-5 office job in an industry which I've worked 5 years in, to go into self employment. I studied accountancy and finance for my degree and thought I'd be spending the rest of my life working my way up to someday becoming a forensic accountant.

I still don't know what exactly I'm going to do yet.

Majority of people have told me i'm taking a super big risk, many don't understand it and a few wish they could have the guts to make the decision I have.

It probably sounds crazy to leave a stable job (even during the pandemic) where you have a boss who is super understanding and caring, employee benefits are competitive and firm is constantly expanding. I've noticed the status quo isn't something people usually stray from.

You work, you retire, you die.

Working a 9-5 office job made me realise out of my 24hr day I have only so many hours to live. I want to work around my life, not live around my work. I want to wake up every morning excited about new ideas, brainstorming my next investments and most of all; learning.

Ive always loved learning and expanding my knowledge on things. I knew that once I started despising the thought of studying for further qualifications in my job, that was the start of the end.

So this is it. I've handed in my notice and my last day of work is the 28th of February. I'm extremely terrified but even more excited!

I've always managed to excel in everything I've put my mind and heart into, and through the years I've manifested myself into the visions of what I wanted in life and where I wanted to be.

I'm so eager to start this new chapter of my life and documenting my milestones to hopefully look back on one day and see how far I've come. Focusing on bettering my health(lower back pain is a bitch), expanding my knowledge and being completely in charge of my money making potential!
