Today we’re talking about life transitions, opportunities, and how to know when to say no.
When my wife April and I started thinking about quitting our jobs to do this Internet thing full-time, it was really scary.
Would we be able to make enough money every month to sustain ourselves?
Would people keep watching us for 5 years, 10 years, 20 years?
Would we get tired of creating content?
Even though we didn’t have the answers to any of those questions, we made plans & finally took the plunge about 3 years later.
And sure enough, over the last 10 years of being full-time creators, we’ve had wild swings in our identities, our impact, and our income.
So when my friend Paul Millerd told me he was struggling with a similar life & career crossroads, I knew we had to talk.
