#ad @SunTrust How I Gained Financial Confidence After Quitting my Job
.
Following a big dream can be one of the craziest things you’ll ever do in life. 9/10 your dream is scary, financially risky, and will have people looking at you sideways. Do it anyway.
.
I quit my corporate job in 2017 to pursue my dream of having my own personal brand as a travelpreneur and content creator. I wanted to travel, make cool videos, create educational content about green living and smart technology, and get paid to do it. It didn’t sound like a legit career people could wrap their heads around when I told them. I pursued it anyway.
.
I saved up enough money to live off of for a year and a half while I built my dream career—but I also wanted to buy an electric car and build a new smart home. It was insane to do either of those things right after I quit my job. I bought them anyway.
.
My biggest hurdle was gaining the financial confidence to make my dream a reality. So how did I gain that confidence without a job to sustain me? I analyzed my existing skillsets to see how I could make money as I worked toward my other dreams. I have a professional background in video, so I created a video production company. I didn’t know the first thing about leading my own company. I launched it anyway.
.
Fortunately I found success with that and made enough money to support my lifestyle—to top it all off, I continued building my personal brand as a content creator too which also eventually took off. It was time consuming to run a production company while also not giving up on my personal brand. I found time anyway.
.
My personal brand came with its own set of challenges though. Sure it took off—but this whole influencer thing doesn’t come with a blueprint for financial success. I can finally say 2 years after quitting my job that I’m making more than my corporate salary doing exactly what I quit my job to pursue. Was it easy? Not at all. I made it happen anyway.
.
No matter how crazy your #bestlife dream is—find the financial confidence to make it happen. How is your SunTrust 21-Day #BestLifeChallenge going so far? Share your own story of financial confidence!
