I'm so excited to share my episode number 100 with you! That's right. We just hit triple digits of the show. And in this special episode I want to show you how I went from broke, depressed, blogger to a full time thriving, six figure freelance writer and coach, and how you can do it too. Coming up.
Why I Decided to Quit My Six Figure Job
I was a corporate, uh, hostage at YELP, living with the golden handcuffs. And I always knew I wanted more, but I didn't know what that was.
I wasn't ready to quit my job yet, So I started exploring. I did a lot of different stuff, with some of them being:
- Enrolled into acting classes
- Engaged in eCommerce
- Dove deep into personal finance
On one of my business trips with Yelp.com, I started talking to my director about everything I learned about personal finance, and she advised me to start a blog about it and that's when the seed got planted.
How I Started Out as a Blogger
Early 2016, I've decided to start supermillennial.com. My first blog was born and that was really the start of it all for me. I didn't know that 15 months later I would quit my six figure job and go out on my own. In 2019 I was about two years into my journey and I hit rock bottom. I was going through absolute depression - I could barely get off the couch. And I was just suffering in silence.
It was the time when a coach Jim Forton came into my life when everything changed for me. And so 2019, I was able to crawl out of this whole pay off credit card debt, and double my income over 2018 and had an extremely successful year. I started to grow this brand after I joined James Wedmore's program Business by Design - it was like finally all came together.
Now in 2020, I have the freelance writing, the online courses,online coaching program, the podcast, a team of four people and I'm just grateful.I just want you guys to know that five years is how long this all took. And it's not like I'm all done now.
The Mistakes I Made Along The Way
Although I'm very grateful for the entire process, there are some things which I didn't do, which I want you to start doing NOW:
- Slow down and look back at what you had done
- Celebrate Your Wins
- Take care of your mental health
- Don't ever compare yourself to me or anyone else
- Don't give up
I made a lot of mistakes, and I went through a lot in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 or 2019, and even this year. So I just want to help you out and give you some support. If you're feeling down, just email or DM me on Instagram. Let me know what you're going through and let me give you a one on one call.
Thank you so much for being with me throughout these 100 episodes and I wish you all the luck in the world!
