Daydreaming about life outside your nine-to-five? Wondering if your side hustle could become your full-time thing, but not sure when to actually leave?
In this episode, I'm sharing how I knew it was time to leave my corporate law career, the financial and logistical steps I'd have in place before you give notice, and the emotional prep nobody talks about. Because being miserable at your job isn't a sign you're ready to leave. It's a sign to start getting ready.
Plus, the turbulent plane ride that finally made me say "I'm done," and the weekend I almost begged for my job back.
Why "just take the leap" can be financially irresponsible advice
How much savings I recommend having before you leave
How I started paying myself (hint: $500 a month)
What to know about health insurance when you go self-employed
The backend setup to do while you're still getting a paycheck
How to tell if you need a business or just a different job
Why fear after the leap doesn't mean you chose wrong
