QUIT NOW! | 3 CAREER RULES to WIN

Is it time to quit your job? I'm going to answer that question in today's episode of Ask Evan. So I recently got asked a question. One of my YouTube followers, Jenny Marie, love you guys, wrote in to say, "How can I quit my job to pursue my passions for the publishing industry? I love what I do. I'm even going to attend school for business so I can learn to manage a business in publishing. I don't want to waste time stuck in a position I'm not happy about." So this is a fantastic question, and I have 3 bits of advice for you. Number 1 is work to learn. If you're gonna have a job, you don't want it being in an industry that you hate, right? You don't want to wake up and go to a job that you hate every day that is sucking your soul. You're not gonna be a happy person, you're not gonna create anything great doing things that you hate doing. So number 1 is find a job where you can learn. The main reason to work is to learn, right? Go find a company that's in publishing that you can work with. Get as close to the entrepreneur founder as possible, learn as much as you can. You're getting paid to make mistakes and learn about the industry. Take on as many responsibilities as you can. Don't just do what you're hired to do because remember, you're there to get an education of the publishing industry so that when you start your business, you're ready to go. Number 2 is start part-time. You don't want to jump full in on your business full-time right away. A lot of entrepreneurs make that mistake. They go all in, they have, you know, 3 months worth of savings, and when those 3 months run out, they haven't had their business take off yet, they're stuck going back to the job market. Start part-time. Find ways to spend time working at whatever job where you're learning, but then also put putting at least half an hour every single day into your business to start getting momentum. Start taking what you're learning at your job, right? We're working at a job where we're learning now. Take that information, put it into your business, and start applying it and building momentum for your company. And number 3 is quit when you can support yourself. The time to quit your job full out and never go back to having another job again is when you're earning enough money from your business that you can support yourself. You don't have to be making it rich, you don't have to be you know, rolling in the cash, you're not living a life of luxury, but you can pay your bills, right? You can pay your rent, you can put food on the table, you can pay that electricity bill. That's the time where you can quit and go full-time into your company. So remember, work to learn, start part-time, and quit when you can support yourself. I'd love to know from you guys watching if you are in your business full-time yet or not, and if you are, when did you decide to quit your job? What was the moment that you decided, "I'm going to quit my job to focus on this"? Leave it in the comments below, I'd love to hear from you. Thank you so much for watching. Continue to believe, and I'll see you soon.
