How I Earned My Freedom and Quit My Job
Steven Lohrenz

Recently my online business has started making enough money to enable me to leave my job and strike out entirely on my own. I have had to work hard to be able to get to this point, but I attribute my ability to leave my job to the 3 things below (they're things you can do too):

1. Low overhead lifestyle. My wife and I have managed to reduce our expenses to the barest of minimums. We've managed to reduce our rent and utilities to zero. Our insurance, petrol and groceries are our largest expenses now and they come in under a grand. It doesn't take much sales from our business in order to cover those bare necessities. Now we are just looking for products that are base hits instead of home runs. Look to reduce by following the 1 time downside (ie moving) with ongoing upsides (1/2 to 1/4 the cost in rent). Avoid doing things with the opposite costs. Avoid clipping coupons because they incur an ongoing downside with a once off upside.

2. Skill Learning Time. I didn't know everything I needed to know about building an online business, so I gave myself a few hours each day in the lead up to going out on my own. I cut out TV and sleeping in to give me this time without sacrificing work, exercise and family time. Those couple of hours a day were the difference between confidently venturing forth and being scared of the future.

3. Have a backup plan in place. I made sure I didn't burn any bridges and did my work until the very last day of my job, just to make sure I'm welcome back. My backup plan is very simple. Go back to my former employer and contract with them for 3-6 months. The money I make during that time is enough to tide me over for an entire year. Find something you could do in order to make ends meet if things don't go as well as you hope. Keep it close to you to give yourself the courage to strike out on your own.

So that's it. 3 things I did to move me to the point where I am completely comfortable being out on my own. They aren't difficult, but they may be emotionally hard, especially if you are attached to an area or are really addicted to TV. It's something that needs to be overcome on the path to your success, so I suggest you start working on each of them today.
