Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic! As cliche as it sounds, it's really us who put limitations on ourselves, including wanting to upgrade the way we make money, which, if you think about it, is really all quitting a job to pursue something else is... an upgrade. Most important thing, I'd say, is have a plan and stay focused. It's not easy working for yourself (the motivation scale completely changes) but it's worth it, both personally and professionally. And yes, just wanting "to move on" is a good start. Good luck, girl. Julie! Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic!

This happened months ago but it's today that I happen to read it... and the timing's just so right. I'm 27, at a job I don't hate, but that I don't like anymore either. I've been waiting for an exit door for many months, but since the day I stepped into this job, I knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur/freelancer. It feels good to read about someone who went through this too, 'cause I have almost 100% decided to quit my job, just like that... and yet I do feel a little guilty, wondering if I'm not just too much of a dreamer, or an avoider. Thanx for reminding me there's nothing to feel guilty about. That just feeling the need to move on is enough. I know, I know, I’m late.

I also love the saying "you won't leave where you are until you know where you would rather be" PS. 'they' don't know what's right for ME :) Awesome – I love when people take control of their lives and dreams instead of waiting for things to happen, so congrats!

Your lifestyle is intriguing, by the way. I like popping in to see what 'the life of a freelancer' is really all about. Thank you Eran! Your lifestyle is intriguing, by the way.

I guess that theory goes with work, friendships, relationships... bad meals even? Point is, DO WHAT FEELS RIGHT. Thank you Becky!

Yep, not easy when you're a working writer/journalist to walk away.. but why limit our successes and, more importantly, our happiness, right? At the end of the day, NOT trying would sting more. GOOD LUCK TO YOU TOO AND EMAIL ME IF YOU'D LIKE TO GET IT OUT! Wow, thanks so much for connecting.
