Was I Afraid When I Left My Job?
That’s the most common question I receive from folks.
And I guess it’s only natural to wonder.
To many people, leaving the safety net of my career at my prime to focus on SteadyCompounding.com full-time appeared to be an extremely risky move.
That’s because they only saw the end outcome—me quitting my job.
What many didn’t see was the series of preparation and small bets I took on myself 1 year before I quit my job.
I started making plans to monetize my passion for investing in February of 2020 and I set several rules for my new venture:
- It must be able to scale as a one-man operation.
- It must not fill my calendar with endless meetings & appointments. I wanted true freedom.
- It must break the relationship between time and money. In other words, I should not have to spend additional time to earn an additional dollar.
Believe it or not, most people don’t take action on their dreams or passion because they didn’t define the rules for pursuing them.
And when the scope is large and infinite, everything is going to seem daunting.
I knew all these rules were possible because of the internet
There has never been a better time to experiment and pursue your passion.
With the amount of software (and many are free), I didn’t need to know how to program or write any codes.
I could test out my idea, get feedback loops extremely quickly and iterate whenever I found success.
Here are what worked for me:
- Sharing my idea and content daily via social media
- Writing a long-form newsletter at least once a week
- Engaging with thought leaders and like-minded folks
I did this while I was employed in a full-time job and all it took was about 4-hours of my time every week.
Today, I generate 5 to 6 million impressions every month.
Have more than 45,000 followers on Twitter and 4,000 on LinkedIn.
And I get paid to be doing what I love—investing, writing and teaching.
