Smart People Know That Their 9–5 Is An Unbelievable Opportunity

It kills me. No, it really does. Because I know what a costly mistake it is if you quit without thinking it through. The thought of people quitting their 9–5 because they think it’s the first step to financial freedom makes my stomach twist. If you’re considering quitting your 9–5 give me 4 minutes to change your mind. If you want to start building something online, your 9–5 is an unbelievable competitive advantage. Let me tell you why. <h1>It’s x100 harder than you think</h1> Quitting your job is not the hard bit. The courage, the emotional high, the disconnecting. All that is difficult but it’s nothing (I mean nothing) in comparison to actually making on the internet. I wrote a book 2 years ago. I tell everyone it only sold 12 copies. I’m sure it’s done a little better than that (maybe 50) but my point is that at the time I had maybe 1,000 followers. Can you imagine if I put my eggs all in the book-writing basket? I wrote for months. Put hundreds of hours into this thing. I ended up with 12 sales. You can’t live off 12 book sales. But you can learn to write a book if you work a 9–5, and write for 2 hours a day. <h1>No money, no problem</h1> When your mortgage payments rely on your business things change. You have to monetise because otherwise, you might end up back at your parents with your tail between your legs. With a 9–5 you can hold off on monetisation. You can be a part-time online writer with all of the perks and none of the stress. You don’t need to build a zillion products on Gumroad, write 10 e-books a month or monetise your morning routine. <a href="https://medium.com/swlh/smart-people-know-that-their-9-5-is-an-unbelievable-opportunity-93362bd0653a">Learn More</a>
