How to quit your job and work for yourself? Oh, boy. This is a good question.
Noelle gets this question all of the time. And I am living proof. You really can
quit your job and work for yourself. And in this video, I'm going to show you exactly
how to do it. Let's go.
Everyone wants to ditch the 9-to-5. I'm going to give you the exact steps that
I did and hundreds of my students did so you can actually do it too. Number 2,
I'm going to tell you the biggest trap that so many people get caught up in. I'm
going to tell you so that you can avoid it. And then number 3, I'm going to provide
you a key tool and resource that you can use right now to do this. So, the first
thing that you want to do is decide. I know this sounds like an easy word. But
really it's not, okay? So, when you're deciding that you want to quit your job
and work for yourself, you have to make it a real decision. It has to be
something that you have made a decision to do. It cannot be just something, you
know, I get it. I love you guys. And I love that you guys watch my videos. But if
you're truly going to quit your 9-to-5, your stable employment, your
stable income and say, I'm going to be self-employed, I'm going to be an
entrepreneur, I'm going to work for myself. Then you are going to have to make a
decision. You're going to have to decide. And this is super easy to do. But it's also
super hard for many people. So, I'll say actually it's simple to do. But it's not
as easy because we have a lot of old programming. So, let me quickly tell you
my story and how I did it. So, I am NOT going to tell you to do what I did because
I have quit my job I've not worked for anyone else for many many years. And I do
have a very successful business. We make millions of dollars per year in our
business. I employ lots of people. I have been very successful in my business. But
it was me and my fear and my apprehension about leaving that
full-time job that stood in the way for so long. And it really stunted my growth
and it really prohibited from me from doing this a lot sooner. Now, again,
at the time of this recording, I'm 39, so it's not like I'm super old and I quit
my job you know probably 3, 4, years ago. And have been able to do this
full-time. But I did not just quit. I literally quit a job then started doing
it and got all nervous and took another job that I didn't need. And I'm going to
tell you what happened. I got disrespected like you would not
believe. Because the thing about it is once you start going down
that track and you say to yourself, I want my own business. I want to be
successful. You got a own that. You got to be committed to that. And because I was
not committed, I feel like the tests came. And I worked for this guy he was super
arrogant. He really didn't even have much more money than me. That's the hilarity
because I was doing real estate on the side and I did have properties. And I
went and worked for this guy thinking I need a stable check, okay? I need a stable
check. Even though I was getting money, I need a stable check. But unfortunately,
when you work for someone else. You don't own your time. And that is the key. If you
want to be successful, if you want to make enough money to replace your income,
you're going to need your time. And so, yes. You can start in this business, you
can start your own business with a job. But the key that you're going to have to
know and make a decision is you are quitting that job, okay?
So, now that you know you have to quit the job, I'm sorry I've helped thousands
of... Hundreds of people actually quit their job. I've had you know almost a
thousand students in the past few years. You know and thousands and thousands of
subscribers on YouTube. Thank you, guys. And so, many of you guys are learning and
doing what you need to do and it's amazing. But again, it all starts with the
decision. So, make it. Number 2. And this is super easy. So, now that you have made
the decision, you decided. I'm out, okay? Now, let's make a plan.
This is actually really easy, okay? And the first part of making the plan is how
much money do you need to make in order to cover your bills, okay? Now, I get it. We
I've talked to you know, you probably like me you listen to motivational
people --Tony Robbins and Les Brown and Abraham Hicks and Eric Thomas and you
know, Lisa Nichols. And I could go on and on about all of the amazing motivational
speakers that are out there that have helped me that are in my ear each
morning when I wake up. But of all of the motivation, you are going to need to make
a plan. And so many times, when we listen to a lot of motivational people, a lot of
motivational speakers, sometimes we set our goal really high in order to quit
our job. And that's not right. I'm going to give you the
secret sauce. You do not... Yes, okay? You want to make a million dollars. You want
a million dollar business or you want $20,000 a month or $40,000 a month. And
yes, absolutely you will get to that if you're not already there. But the key to
quitting your job and then the plan that you are going to make, you are going to
break down what your expenses are. What is the bare minimum amount of money you
need each month to pay for your shelter and to eat food? Not the rest of the
stuff. I do not look at all of your bills and say, "Oh, man. All of my bills come up
to $5,000 I need to make $10,000 a month before I quit my job." There's actually
what I get from most people actually. They'll actually double what they their
bills are before they quit their job. Which makes absolutely no sense because
you're working for someone else getting that money. And the crazy part, I'm going to
get in your face a little bit more is why would you need to pay yourself more,
you than someone else pays you for you to work in your own business. Why does
someone else have to pay you... You'll make $5,000 a month at a job. I have so many
students telling me this. Like, "I need to make $10,000 a month in
order to quit." And I'm like, "Well, how much do you make a year at your job?" And
they're like, "I make $50,000 a year." I'm like, "Great. You know, when you divide
50,000 by 12 that's $4,500 per month before taxes? That's your gross
income." So, where you're getting $10,000 per month from? Why do you need $10,000 a
month to get rid of a job that gross before taxes, before FICA, before Social
Security, Medicare, right? But for all of that they only pay you 4500 but for you
to work for your ownself and be free and never have to deal with those people
ever again. You need 10 grand. I am so sorry, people I
love you guys to death but that is not the answer.
Figure out the bare minimum, write it down and that's going to be the number that
we are going for, okay? Because and I'll tell you why because it's super easy. So,
now that you have your plan written out. Okay, so I need this amount of money. I'm
starting this type of business. The next thing that you are going to do is create
a timeline, okay? And this is what you are going to commit to. And had to do the
same thing. I like hemmed and I hawed and oh my gosh. But when I said, "I am quitting."
And I wrote down the date. I literally wrote down the date that I was quitting.
And I'm going to tell you another thing you're
going to do. You are going to type up your resignation letter for that date. Because
you are quitting. You are making a decision. Remember, that the first thing
that you did. You made a decision. And so then you made a plan. Now, we're
making a timeline, alright? We are doing this. You are out of that
job. And so, the timeline should be something that you kind of feel
comfortable with. Because here's the thing: There's no real timeline. People
can... You know, I have to have students that I've been able to put their job in
3 months. I've had students so it took them 2 years, okay? So, the timeline
is created by you not me, not anybody else. And yeah, I know about this and kids.
Don't tell me about kids. I got 5 of them. So... I know about kids. I know how
much they cost. So, this is though about you and what you want to do. And if you
are quitting your job, you have to put a timeline out there. When are you quitting?
Is it 6 months from now? Is it 3 months from now? Is it 12 months from
now? What is your timeline? Write it down. Commit to it and then write that
resignation letters. You don't send it but you write it becuase it's ready and
that's a part of the process. So, now that you have written it down, I need you guys
to comment below. You've thought about this. Comment below and tell me what your
timeline is. How long is it going to take you to get that bare minimum monthly
amount in your business for you to quit? I want you to write that number down and
I want you to write down below. Comment in the comment, I read all of you guys
was comment and tell me what that is. So, we can start talking through this. We can
make it real for you. And then last but not least, I need you to quit. That is it.
That is the last step to this. You are literally actually going to resign and
quit. That is the final step. You literally have to do it. And I cannot
tell you. I'm so excited. I'm all smiles. I'm loving this is it feels awesome. The
day that you walk out of there was one of them, i'm...It's memories. Actually,
literally, my password to my phone. That's how important the day that I quit my job
was. It is the password to my phone. So, this is... No one knows. Not
something people can figure out. Like my kids birthday or my birthday. The day
that I resigned from working forever is the password to my phone. That's how
important it should be to you. You should quit your job. It should be one of the
happiest days of your life. And now you could commit your time to your business.
Because remember, where you start it is where you're going to end. Your really
your whole goal in quitting your job and coming up with this plan is just to
commit to enough money in your business that you're gonna make so that you can
quit your job. And I'm telling you, it's probably a lot less than you think. I'm
tell you really quickly. So, when I finally quit my job, I was like, "I'm done.
I'm not going to keep being disrespected. I'm not going to keep going through all
this, not going to work all these hours. I'm not gonna miss my kids games."
All this stuff. And I'm making the decision. I was making over $200,000 a
year, gross. Okay? Gross. I got to keep saying that
number to you, guys. Because you guys will look at what you're making. You're like...
So, of course you're not getting that. That's just the gross number that they
put on the offer letter. So, what I actually did... This was almost $20,000 per
month, gross. So, when I quit my job though, I only needed 8,000. I know that
sounds like a lot to most. It's probably way more than all of you. And I'm telling
you, I know it is. At that time, I had 2 kids in college and I had a kid in
college. I had seven kids. I had a ton of bills. And it still
was only $8,000. Even though I was making so much more. Because you don't need all
of what someone else is paying you in order for you to quit your job. You just
have to quit. So, I have something that is going to help you. There's a free
