Inspiration For Leaving Your 9 to 5 Job

November 19, 2014 by Mary

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure for details.

Ever since I started working as an adult, I’ve struggled with having a 9 to 5 job. When I have one, I desperately dream of leaving for something more exciting.

Beat The 9 to 5 Inspiration

I stumbled across a new to me blog recently: Beat the 9 to 5. I loved the author’s manifesto:

  • You don’t have to settle for the daily grind.
  • You can achieve your goals.
  • You can be what you want to be: self-employed, solopreneur, entrepreneur, freelancer.
  • You ignore the static.
  • You are capable and able to go out on your own.
  • You can define your work and your life.
  • You’re an independent worker and thinking.
  • You don’t let obstacles get in your way.
  • You know there’s more to life than what you’re doing right now.
  • It takes hard work, patience, and a solid plan.
  • The choice is yours to Beat the 9 to 5.
  • Escape the rat race. become an entrepreneur.
  • Anyone can do it!

The Beat the Nine to Five Manifesto is a great little piece of inspiration to me and for everyone else on this journey to work in a different way. Let’s do this! Success will look different for all of us and we will all be able to achieve this great future success.

Inspiration For Leaving Your 9 to 5 Job

Update: this manifesto inspired me to look for more amazing content about leaving a 9 to 5 job. While I might not be leaving mine tomorrow, I like to dream about the day when it is possible.
