Thinking about ditching your 9 to 5 to find your passion? Perhaps you feel threatened by the thought of mass layoffs. Maybe you’ve found yourself “quietly quitting” to take back your sanity, or you realized you’ve been “quietly promoted” (that’s when you’re such a reliable producer you’re awarded more work and responsibilities with zero rewards) — and feeling the effects of burnout. Or maybe, after a deep look inward, you’re simply ready to chart a new journey that fully resonates with your inner self, allowing ownership of your financial future.
No matter how you ended up on the edge of a new life chapter, it’s exciting to think about the path forward. Still, any leap into the unknown is scary!
