My Leap Of Faith
I just quit my job and walked away from a 6 figure salary, pension, benefits and all the vacation days I want.
And while this might be the SCARIEST thing I’ve ever done, I couldn’t be more excited.
Nothing here was easy, but it’s doable.
Here’s the story of finally achieving “escape velocity”
🧵
For the last 10 years, I’ve been a police officer.
And if I’m being honest, my heart hasn’t been in it for a long time.
But the golden handcuffs (pun intended) are SO powerful.
All the little perks and the seemingly comfortable life—locks you in, even if you know you’re meant for bigger and better things
12 years ago I was bitten by the entrepreneur bug and that feeling never left.
Growing up things were really tight.
My parents never let it show when I was younger, but as I got older I realized the reality.
And it was with that in the back of my mind that I sought security.
And the police job did just that.
I don’t regret a second of it. My experience with this career has molded me in so many ways that I’m thankful for, but as the years went on, I continued to feel like a fish out of water.
So, I worked in the shadows— nights, weekends, down time, kids naps, whenever I could!
My degree was in kinesiology and I used to manage brick and mortar gyms before becoming a cop, so the natural FIRST move for me was fitness coaching
This actually did pretty well, but I remembered why I had left that industry before.
I got burned out.
High ticket sales, but at the cost of TONS of hand holding.
This wasn’t the end. The fire had reignited and I knew it was just a matter of time before I figured it out.
