Hey, if you like your job, and every morning you get up and it gives you a chubby to go there. Keep it. But, if you’re miserable, or wish you were doing something else. You need to quit. Not tomorrow, not when things are better, but NOW!
Do you work in a place that feels like it’s sucking the life out of you? Are you always putting off what you really want to do? Like I was, you’re too comfortable with a steady paycheck. Stop it! It’s not worth it. If you have any hustle at all, you will find what you want and not starve in the process. You may not eat Filet Mignon right away, but I guarantee that you’ll be happier and healthier in the long haul.
I recently resigned because I did not like the direction my ex-employer was taking. I didn’t like it for awhile. I was just too comfortable with the paycheck. They just pushed me over the edge. Now, I don’t have a solid grasp on where my next payday is coming from or when it will be, but I’m happier. I know it will come out okay. Now I have the fear. I have to eat or be eaten. I must take action. So now, I’m hunting down work and thinking of ways to make passive income. I’m no longer stuck thinking about what makes my employer rich all day long. I’m in the mindset of being productive and making cash. Both future and immediate income. It reminds me of my days as a salesman when I needed to fill the pipe before I was paid.
There is a lot of work for web developers out there. Especially if you’re not too proud to do the menial tasks like creating a brochureware page or two. This may lead to more interesting programming work or data analysis for conversions. The thing is, you never know what something will lead to. You have to be able and willing to hustle. Throw enough shit on the wall and see what sticks. Reduce the pain in the ass clients that bring little revenue and start the process over.
Don’t be scared. Take the plunge and be happier. You’ll thank yourself later.
