0I'm here today because I've reached a breaking point. I recently quit my corporate job, completely exhausted by that style of work.
I'm chasing a different kind of life—one built around freedom. For me, that means ownership: owning my time, my decisions, and my income streams. That's the appeal of building my own business—creating something that generates value, and income, even when I'm offline.
The reality is, the work culture here can be all-consuming. Personal time often feels like a luxury, not a given. In tech, you're essentially on call 24/7. A phone ringing at 2 AM isn't just an interruption; it sends your heart racing. That constant state of alert is mentally draining.
I crave working at my own rhythm, with the focus to dive deep into my own goals. I want to be driven by purpose, not by panic.
Yes, it's an uncertain path. But that's precisely why I have to take it. At this point in my life, it feels less like an option and more like a necessity.
When I'm 70, looking back, I want a story of adventure, not just a list of responsibilities. That's the vision that makes this leap into the unknown worth it.
