“When I quit my job, I didn’t have a job.   Yikes – Scary, huh!  Not with a plan and fear doesn’t have to be a stumbling block for you either.  I will show you my proven, time-tested system and walk you through a step-by-step action plan to help you stay on track, transform your mindset, break down barriers, and achieve your goals.  It was one of  the best decisions I’ve ever made, and I was still able to pay my bills, purchase health insurance, dine out, travel, and shop!” 

  

Greetings Friend:

 

Let me share with you TODAY how to unlock your potential, expand your horizon, quit your job, and pursue your dreams…

 

“I Quit!”  Easier said than done, right?  The thought and talk about quitting my job lingered two years before coming to fruition. As I gazed out the window overlooking a spectacular view of the Capitol, I experienced an “Aha!” moment.  “Shawn, you are too young, intelligent, and talented to live a miserable life.  This job is the least you can do, what is the most you can do?”  

 

That Eureka moment strengthened my resolve to discover happiness and my mission in life.  I was tired of being imprisoned, wasting time, and making myself sick…insomnia, rising pressure, head and stomachaches, stress, self-doubt. Can you feel the pain?  While I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to do, I knew for sure what I didn’t want to do, which proved beneficial.

 

                                TALK DOESN’T COOK RICE                 Action.JPG       

 

Don’t be fooled into thinking you can quit your job in a heartbeat.  Quitting your job is a process and requires an action plan.  It took me 12 months to implement an exit strategy, leaving on my terms.  A year may seem long but in reality it’s a cinch when you clearly define your mission, envision your dream, strategically plan your roadmap, and execute properly.  Every situation is different but two factors that are most crucial in every case are readiness and preparation.

 

When I quit my job, I didn’t have a job.   Yikes – Scary, huh!  Not with a plan and fear doesn’t have to be a stumbling block for you either.  I will share with you strategies for staying on track and how to break barriers that stagnate.  My life changed for the better and I was still able to pay my bills, purchase health insurance, dine out, travel, maintain my beauty regimen, and shop! 

 

Nope.  I wasn’t rich nor did I seek financial assistance from family or friends – not a dime.  I was more disturbed by not trying than the fear of failure. Once I readied my mind and prepared my strategy, I was determined and committed to achieve my goals.  I kicked fear in the butt!  As my loving mother says, “Nothing beats a failure but a try” and I took that to heart.

 

Let me assure you, carving your own path will give you enormous joy and empowerment. After submitting my letter of resignation, I sashayed out the door with unwaveringly confidence that the best was yet to come.  “The real moment of success is not the moment apparent to the crowd.” – George Bernard Shaw

 

                                                                                  NOTHING VENTURED, NOTHING GAINED.           Direction.jpg

 

As you embark upon your journey to quit your job and pursue your dreams, there will be naysayers, including close family and friends.  People can be pessimistic.  During my transition, I learned discouragement was rooted in fear.  Fear of risk and fear of the unknown.  Ironically, this was at a time when companies were laying off employees without warning, despite 25 years of service, and mismanaging retirement funds.   Now you tell me what sparks more fear – losing your job along with your life’s savings or taking control of your destiny.

 

Soon my cadre of confidants dwindled as we couldn’t relate on this critical matter and I didn’t want to burden them with my state of affairs.  It was lonely at times.  Some of my dearest family and friends didn’t even know I resigned until I gleefully exclaimed, “Don’t call me at the office! 

 

What’s amusing is after I quit my job; naysayers admitted wishing they could quit their jobs and had tons “how to” questions.  WOW, they want to be like me.  You know what I said – you guessed it!  Nothing ventured, nothing gained. 

 

ARE YOU CRAZY!          

 

During my career transition, I often felt isolated and when I mentioned I wanted to quit my job, people looked at me like I was crazy.  “Don't quit your “good” job for a dream,” “You got bills,” “It’s hard out there – the job market isn’t what it used to be” were the comments.  They were judging and placing their fears on me.  You can operate at the highest level and still someone will tell you you're not good enough. 

 

You try talking to family and their human nature is to protect you.  Friends can’t seem to relate, so where do you go?  It’s a lonely road and you become self-consumed which impedes your creative processes because you don’t know what you don’t know and can’t see the forest for the trees.

 

Fortunately, I discovered a mentor who supported and challenged me to think and grow beyond my self-limiting beliefs and behavior.  As a result, my narrow-mind opened, creativity exploded, and focus sharpened.  People can tell you the sky is the limit and it sounds good but until you FEEL it, you really don't know what that means.

 

**Be cautious of wantonly seeking advice and realize that other people’s perception of you may be wrong.  Your life deserves more than just an on-the-fly analysis – you’re dealing with a very serious matter.

                                                                                       I want to be your mentor!                              Goals.jpg    

 

I have walked a mile in your shoes and will reveal how I stomped obstacles to quit my job, ignite my passion, start my own business, stay motivated, and discover a higher purpose in life.    Just like you, I was plagued with “What ifs:”

 

  • What if I can’t pay my bills?
  • What if I get sick?
  • What if I fail? 
  • What if I disappoint my family?

I mentor from experience and example to teach you how to clarify and actualize your life goals.  One thing I learned is you seldom improve when you have no model but yourself to copy. 

Shawn – What’s Your Mission?

 

I am offering this program because people eagerly ask "How did you quit your job?  I want to quit but I don't know how.  I'm stuck." You can quit your job, pursue your dreams, discover happiness, and be successful if you plan the right way.  I struggled with not knowing what I wanted, procrastination, lack of focus, not having someone to share this all with, and people telling me I was lucky to have a "bad" job.

 

So it’s now my mission to provide mentorship and coaching to help you discover, define, and articulate your short- and long-term goals and design a step-by-step action plan to achieve them. 

 

I didn’t want cost to prevent you from pursuing your dreams so I made this program affordable for you to join.  I understand what is required to make that rewarding transition and life is too short to be in a job you hate.  It’s unhealthy, stressful, and shortens your life! 

       Okay Shawn, I’m ready to stop procrastinating and take action to pursue my dreams!       Brighter Days!.JPG
