I quitted my job. Seriously. What's next?

Hi!

Dreams, ambitions. Everyone has a vision. How do you see yourself in the future? Let's assume a year to maybe five years. Employed? Self employed? Well it differs to each and every individuals. Some may not bother to be working under an employer for the rest of their lives. As for me, I dream big :)

Have you had a superior who degrades you, embarrass you, or whatever actions that decrease your self-esteem? I had a bunch but I have to say that the superior of my recent job, he holds the title of being the crappiest. Yes, he has rights, so do I. I've been so mentally abused that I have never felt so pressurized or depressed in my entire life. 

Let me give you a scenario, when your company offers you $6000 for example, in condition you have to achieve a certain target. Let's make it a $100 grand sales/revenue per month. If you achieve the target given, you are then eligible for the numerations offered. So, vice versa. In the company I'm working at, never once I've failed to achieve whatever targets given. Thus, I am eligible for the $6000. However, the so called superior then thought I was being paid too much for what I'm doing and decided to find a way to get rid of me. He managed to convince the management, other superiors or even my own colleagues to turn against me. Well, I am proud enough to say I took it pretty well for at least half a year now.

Guys, there are humans out there who are just plain snobbish and they get very jealous/envy if you're doing better than them. Then they go around bad mouthing you to others. He is famous for his "signature move" which is doing everything he can in his power to get rid of someone he assume bad for him. Lol! I know right.

I then thought to myself, why let his negativity affect my inner peace? I get to go home to my family, play with my pets, hanging out with friends and I am so contented with my life. I bet he has none of what I'm having. I also bet he was tortured by his parents back when he was a boy which leads to his stammering in conversations. He has serious issues. Yes, I am in my mid 20's and hell there are a lot of other opportunities out there waiting for me. 

Not to boast but I have a lot of experiences in various industries which gives me another pointer. I've always dreamt of becoming a full time travel blogger or a steel industry tycoon. Back to my first question, where do I see myself in the near future?  If I were to continue working in this shitty company, I'm damned. What if I start striving for my dreams? Well, there'll be risks, obstacles, and even chances of failure but hey, what have I got to lose? Nothing.

Out of all that, right before Christmas in 2014, I QUITTED! I've never felt soooooo gooooood! I had great supports from friends, love ones, and family. Yea, I did it without thinking much. I was scared, being afraid I wouldn't be able to get a job to pay my rent, loans and more. 

On Christmas day, I went window shopping and I saw this book. This book was special because I found it amongst the rest of the cook books in the book store. The title of the book got my brain fabricating for ideas. "Blogging For A Living" by Grace Tan. Then it clicked me. I should start blogging! However, I decided no to get the book just 'yet'.

I went home, got on my laptop, spent sleepless nights building this blog you're currently viewing. The reason for me to do this website (blog) is nothing more than to express my interests to other people around the world. I was happy, I still am. I love doing what I'm doing now. Writing. 

Three days later, I decided to go back to the book store to get the book. This is the first time I've actually finish reading a book. Frankly speaking, I've never completely read a single book in my entire life as I was not into reading. This book inspired me to do what I want to do. To pursue your dream, you need to start doing it. I love procrastinating and that's why I fail in certain things I do. Well, I'm not going to be a full time blogger that's because I am going to start my own business in the steel industry.

So, in conclusion, I decided to be a full time Entrepreneur and Blogger. Grace Tan said this in her book, "There's no better time than now". I am fired up, I am ready, I know I can! I am currently setting up my business and at the same time trying to cope up with blogging which I love so much.

I couldn't have made it this far if it wasn't because of my family, love, friends and Grace Tan's book.

Should you too quit you job? According to Grace, do not quit your job if; 

• you already love what you are doing
• your bosses and colleagues aren't that bad, and
• you can see that you have a future in the company

What I did is based on what I think was the best decision for me.

If you're into blogging as well, go get this book! You can get it in most Popular outlets.

Don't forget to check out her Facebook page! Thanks a lot for your support Grace.
