That being said, let’s get into today’s message:

It’s true… I quit my full-time job as a Financial Advisor in November of 2023.

It was terrifying.

I hadn’t made my first $1 online yet, but I decided enough was enough.

I knew what I wanted, I had a reasonable plan to get there, and I had 7 months of savings to make it work.

Luckily, within the first two weeks of quitting my job, I caught my big break…

I landed my first two clients.

And as things stand here towards the end of March, five months later, I’ve been fortunate enough to build a business that generates more than my full-time income used to.

Except now, I’m:

• Able to work anywhere in the world with a WiFi connection

• Happier and healthier than I’ve ever been

• In complete control over my time

The benefits of being your own boss span far beyond just earning potential.

For most of you reading this, the world we were raised in is significantly flawed.

What’s considered “normal” in the world of work is:

• 2 vacations per year

• 30min daily commute

• 8 hours of staring at a screen

• Working 40+ hours a week building someone else’s dream

There is a better way.

The people online telling you that you can build a “personal brand” and then “build an online business” are actually telling the truth (most of them).

I’ve seen it happen many times and it’s happened to me.

So for today’s message, I want you to know one thing:

I have nothing to sell you, I just want you to know that whatever you’re working towards… it’s possible and it’ll happen for you sooner than you think.

It did for me… and I know it will for you, too.

Keep going, I promise it’s worth it.

Thanks for reading!

Until next time,

Eric Higgs
