Hey Reader,

You heard me - I'm a full-time writer, baby!

My last day at my job was yesterday, and I've lept into doing what I love.

Am I excited? Hell yes!

And am I scared? Of course!

Twelve months ago, I tried the same thing. I quit my day job and clung to a flimsy-ass plan.

But the plan wasn't proven. I jumped too soon.

Way too soon.

This time, I had a bunch of conditions before handing in my notice:

1. At least 12 months of savings in the bank
2. At least one steady client
3. Replace my monthly 9-5 income (~$2,000/month) with the money I make online (freelancing, blogging, online courses)
4. A proven process to land high-paying clients
5. Confidence that I can deliver high-quality client work consistently

Only once I ticked these conditions did I step off the ledge.

Do you see the common thread?

You got it.

Confidence ~ Proof ~ Mindset

Squeezing the harmful juices out of our brains is 80% of the game, and the best way to do this is with action. But not just any action. It's by taking action that you know gets results.

Sure, there will be mistakes along the way. That, I guarantee. But the alternative scares the sh*t out of me.

I'm not the only one:

That's why I'm doing this.

I don't know if my close friends get it. My parents certainly don't. But at this point in my life, I feel a burning desire to give this my best shot.

No more excuses. No more books. No more Gary Vee.

It's time to put in the work.

On LinkedIn, I'll also be documenting my way to £10K/month as a freelance writer. Why £10K/month? This is what I need to live comfortably in New York (where my girlfriend lives).

I'll be sharing tips, mistakes, and numbers - every Monday to Friday - so that you can see what it takes to ditch the 9-5 and travel the world. (In January, my first stop is Budapest!)

So if this sounds up your street, give me a cheeky follow on LinkedIn.

I hope to see you there! :)
