00:00:00.000 When do you know it's time to leave your 9 to 5?
00:00:02.800 So you got the 9 to 5, I like to side hustle 5 to 9.
00:00:06.140 And if you want to really hustle, get up at 5 and then hustle 5 to 9.
00:00:10.360 5 to 9, 9 to 5, 5 to 9.
00:00:12.920 So most people actually do things and they sabotage their success.
00:00:16.200 And one of those is they are so passionate about the thing they want to do
00:00:19.860 that they feel that if they don't quit their job and go do that full time,
00:00:23.060 that they don't trust themselves to go all in.
00:00:25.620 It's better for you to keep the job, to pay the bills, to side hustle,
00:00:30.000 To give yourself the space to figure things out, to try some stuff, to throw some spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks.
00:00:35.060 My rule is when you can get your base costs covered from your side hustle, that's usually a good time to cut the switch.
00:00:41.440 So it does require you to delay some stuff.
