Wanna Know How to Quit your Job?
It sounds like you're feeling trapped at this job. It's not uncommon to feel that way when you have a family and bills to worry about. It's also not uncommon to feel that way when your company doesn't seem to care about its employees anymore, or feels threatened by changes in the market. And the truth is: quitting for any reason is hard!
But don't let the fear of quitting keep you from achieving your potential. Sure, it may take some time and effort on your part, but it will be worth it in the long run! If you want more money or better opportunities, consider starting a side-hustle or doing freelancing work in your spare time.
There's always a way to earn money, even if you only have time to work part time. If you're interested in starting a business on the side, check out our ultimate guide: How to Start Your Own Business.
And remember: once you start down this path and decide that you want more, it'll get easier and easier each day. Plus, being your own boss will take some of the pressure off of you! It'll feel less like someone else is calling the shots and more like you're getting paid to do what you love.
Lastly, check out the side job section of MoneyPantry.com (you can see our list of jobs here: https://www.moneypantry.com/side-jobs). You could start earning extra money while you work your regular job! But if you need to start a business, check out our ultimate guide on how to do that.
Remember: if you want to quit, then don't let anything hold you back! You're going to be working hard either way… so why not work hard towards a goal that will make your life better?

I had been managing my side hustle as a side hustle for over 2 years while being unemployed. I didn't think that I would be able to quit my job and start a side hustle at the same time but I have proven that anything is possible. All thanks to your books. Thank you so much.

I just wanted to give you an update on how things are going. I went from no money coming in to at least $2k per month of passive income as well as having fully paid off my student loan debt. The plan and goals are still going strong and I will be able to have a nice retirement when I am done with school.

"You guys should write how-to guides for people who want to quit their jobs for the purpose of launching an entrepreneurial career. Maybe have a day or two of courses to walk them through the process, give them some tools, etc. It would be worth it for those who are interested but don't know where to start."
