"But how do I know if this would work for me?"
When I was starting out seven years ago, I was researching and reading everything from everywhere and was more confused than ever! I thought there was no way I could do this, it's too much. Especially with my current 9-5 taking up all of my time.
I was scared to even try..
But I tried it, and I am so glad that I did.
Seven years later, I own my own business, I make enough income to support myself and my family, and I enjoy life more than I ever did before.
Most of all, I've learned the real value of not having to work for others. I've learned the value of living life on my own terms. I've learned how immensely different life feels when you're no longer looking at a negative bank balance every week.
I want that for you.
I don't mean that in a car salesman way, I mean that in a I-wish-nobody-had-to-work-for-greedy-bosses way.
I mean that in a people-deserve-better-pay-and-better-working-conditions way.
Because you could have that within the next six months if you start today.
Or, you could circle back around to the idea next year and spend months researching things like...
How to start a business without leaving my 9-5 first?
How to schedule my day(s) to get my business started?
What kind of services can I offer working from home?
How do I brand my own business?
Do I need a website?
How do I build my own website?
Do I need legal contracts to start my business?
Can I get sued as a sole proprietor?
Where do I find clients?
+ much more.
I know, because I spent years doing the research before finally deciding to get started. The thing is, if you're working a day job, going to school, raising your kids, or just living your life - it's hard to find time to do all of that research.
That's why I've done all of the research for you.
No seriously, I did. Remember a minute ago when I said "I want that for you"? I meant that.
I've compiled all of the answers you're looking for into one handy resource, and focused heavily on being able to get started building your new business while still working your day job.
I would never encourage you to abruptly leave your job and put yourself in a bad situation.
But I will gladly encourage you to slowly replace your current income by building your own business, so that you can eventually leave that day job without feeling a loss in income.
You don't have to risk your current job.
You don't have to lose your current income.
You don't have to do hours of endless research.
You don't have to dive in headfirst and put yourself in a scary situation.
You only have to take the first step today, work on it at your own pace, and reap the benefits of your own hard work for years to come.
You only have to listen to the step-by-step plan that I not only followed myself, but have also taught to others.
