Welcome back!

It’s great to have you for this Friday's edition of the newsletter.

For today… I’m going to share the story of how I wound up in the “newsletter” niche and what led me to start the agency known today as Summit Group.

Let’s dive in:

On Tuesday, I shared with you the story leading up to getting a rather harsh phone call on my birthday that immediately gave me the clarity to take the leap into entrepreneurship.

So… my birthday was on a Thursday. I take Friday and the rest of the weekend and think through my online entrepreneurship strategy and all of the people I had to notify about leaving my 9-5.

First thing Monday morning I give our regional manager a call and let him know I’m going to be leaving the company.

Because of the situation I was in running the office by myself, and not wanting to leave the company hanging, they wanted me to stay until they could replace me.

(Side note — it’s almost been a full year and they still haven’t found someone to fill that office)

After making that phone call and telling him I was leaving, I ended up staying another 2 months, until November 17th when I made that my official last day.

It gave me another 2 months to figure out how I was going to make a living online…

I calculated I had 7 months of living expenses from the date of leaving my 9-5 to having to go out and get a job if I didn’t make any money at all.

Toward the end of October… I landed 2 clients writing emails and social media content and made the same amount of money in a month as I did in my 9-5.

I was stoked.

So, it’s November 17th, I’m walking out the front door of the office after handing over the keys and it’s one of the best feelings in my life.

I not only made the decision to pursue my dream, but I also started earning an income online before the timer on my 7 months even started.

So, for the rest of 2023 and until the minute of me writing this 9 months later…

I’ve been writing online and building my agency, Summit Group.

For Tuesday’s email next week, I’ll get into the details of how I landed in the “Newsletter” niche…

For now, have a great weekend!

Thanks for reading!

Have a great weekend,
Eric
