info_outlineLots of people working 9-to-5 jobs are unfulfilled in their careers, yet learn to deal with it. Kelly Gurnett calls this ‘the way things are’ syndrome. Everyone around you is dealing with it, so you do too.
When Kelly worked at a day job she didn’t particularly enjoy, she couldn’t cope like everyone around her did. So after years of living a life of quiet desperation, she took action, started a blog and chipped away at building her writing business. Two and half years later, as of May 2013, she officially became a full-time business owner.
That’s not all. In the process she found what she truly loves to do – her true calling. And now does more and more of it. You can make this your story, too. All you need to do is take the first step.
Here’s what you will learn in this case study:
How to work out an arrangement with your employer so you can work flexible hours.
An easy way to stand out from the crowd.
How to start a freelance writing and editing business.
How to quickly build an audience that supports you and comes back for more.
The secret to quitting anything (it’s not what you think).
How to find out what your true calling is (it’s easier than you think).
3 Actions you can take to go from 9-to-5 day jobber to hustling business owner.
