As an employee why should you feel a sense of dread on Sunday nights? Why should you tolerate a toxic environment just to make ends meet and have limited time off?
Isn't it ironic that we crave freedom when we're young, only to lose it in an unhappy 9-5 job with just a few hours at the weekend to ourselves.
And, if you're a mum, I know exactly how that mum guilt feels when you work too.
In 2015 I looked into becoming a Virtual Assistant. A 9-5 was no longer sustainable for my mental and physical health.
But what if I failed? I had no pension, no savings, a mortgage and was a single parent. This had to work.
In just 90 days, I earned enough to quit my 9-5. Now I make five times my previous salary. I own three houses, have savings, and enjoy the ultimate work-life balance!
Creating a fulfilling, happy life with luxuries may seem impossible.
But it is more than achievable.
