As the host of the Hello C.S. Dorsey Podcast, I’m thrilled to welcome you to a brand new year, a fresh start, and a chance to reshape our lives. In the upcoming episodes, we will be focusing on helping you plan and save to leave your 9 to 5 jobs. I encourage you to leave reviews and provide feedback on what topics you would like to hear more about.
The first step in this journey is making a firm decision to leave your 9 to 5 job. This is not a decision to be taken lightly. It’s crucial to weigh the pros and cons, considering factors such as your personal energy and health.
Once you’ve made the decision, it’s time to plan and prepare for your exit. This includes researching your current benefits and speaking with your HR department to understand what benefits you can keep if you decide to leave.
Financial planning is a critical part of this process. Determine how much money you need and find ways to save it. This could mean cutting unnecessary expenses or using bill money to pay off debts.
As you plan your exit, consider your next move. This could be getting another job or starting a business. I suggest saving at least four months’ worth of salary as a backup cushion.
It’s important to leave your current job on good terms. Maintain professionalism and make a positive impact even after leaving. Remember, you never know what the future holds and you may need to go back to them one day. Leaving on a bad note will always follow you.
Lastly, focus on yourself and what makes you happy. Don’t worry about what other people say or think. Negative talk and opinions from others should not matter. Live for yourself and for the Lord, rather than living your life for other people.
To recap, here are the eight tips for leaving a 9 to 5 job and planning for the transition:
Make a firm decision to leave.
Plan and prepare for your exit.
Research your current benefits.
Money for the transition.
Consider getting another job or starting your own business.
Don’t leave your current job hanging.
Focus on yourself and what makes you happy.
Maintain professionalism and leave on good terms.
I hope you found these tips helpful and I look forward to sharing more insights in the next episode. Remember, the journey to leaving your 9 to 5 job is a marathon, not a sprint. Take your time, plan carefully, and make the transition as smooth as possible.
