The Ultimate Escape Plan from a 9-5 Rut – Career Transition Made Easy!

Hey there again!

We’ve been talking all about career change and how a 9-5 isn’t a suitable option for you and me.

Today we have that most awaited Blog! At least I was gatekeeping this topic for days. See, a Career change wasn’t easy for me, I could still consider myself safe because I had an idea of a plan in mine and how I’d execute it.

Even though my plan wasn’t a Blueprint or anything, It isn’t completely what I stick to now, of course.

But,

It gave me that necessary push, of what Life could look like, a Fine string I could hold on to, you know?

Well, I have been dreaming of becoming a writer full-time for quite some time now, Not knowing how I would do it, and what exactly I should be doing about it.

I wanted to be an Author I wrote a Book, I wanted to do blogging so I wrote a few articles here and there.

Until later this year (2024) I understood, like any other business, if I wish to scale my Writing business, I don’t just become wealthy after publishing a children’s fiction book, ( Link to my Fiction Book, Enjoy reading)

I realized that I had to Monetize my skills.

And what’s required is not just skills, but the right platform, the right strategy, and a Will as strong as a diamond, to change your life once and for all.

I could have started writing long before 2020. But what stopped me?

My mindset!

I didn’t know How important it was for me to chase what I love doing because, As I continued to work for 3 years in a corporate healthcare setup, It hit me that if I continued doing this for even another month, I would be Stuck here forever.

So, I quit my stable healthcare job, 9 months into the new organization I had just joined.

Everybody was against it, I didn’t care because it was all Me who had to undergo the mental breakdown alone!

That day I made a promise that I would never return to a life like this ever again. I wanted to redesign my life and Plan my schedule every day, and not have to take permission to take a day off.

Here, I’m listing out the Exact Roadmap that I applied to Escape from the 9-5.

Step 1: Know what You want your Day to look like

Mine was, To be free from an office, work from anywhere, Write all day, and be flexible with my Timings.

Step 2: Choose One thing you could handle all by yourself

Mine was Writing, and I had the management experience from my previous jobs.

Step 3: List down your Transferrable skills

E.g Time management, Revenue tracking, Problem solving, Communication, Leadership.

Step 4: Remove 2 hours in your day for your side Business.

If you wish to start consulting in your own industry, Start putting the word out there, start writing on LinkedIn, and find an online space where your ideal clients hang out.

Step 5: Keep doing the above until it eeps Money at least 70% compared to your salary.

Then Quit.

Remember, Building a business, Solopreneurship, and Starting out on a new venture is SIMPLE but NOT EASY.

It is as simple as you think, try not to overcomplicate anything.

If you want to change your industry altogether, then invest time in learning a skill, then find people who would need that service,

History has it.

1 Problem, 1 Solution, based service Business always Wins.

Join me on Linkedin to be a part of my journey.

Good Luck 🙂
