I've been in and out of corporate jobs And when i finally quitted for good In 2017 to start my online business That last time i did it without making a Ton of mistakes The previous attempts to quit my nine to Five were not very successful I mean i did quit a couple of times but Then i had to start over Looking for new jobs because i wasn't Properly prepared For the big move now i will tell you What i regret about the way i quit my Day job [Music] Hi i'm anastasia of anastasiablogger.com And on this channel i share my online Business tips Every thursday if that's what you want To learn then subscribe And hit the bell button to get notified When my new videos go live Hey i don't have anything against Corporate careers And many people succeed in it but maybe You're A little bit like me maybe you've always Had This voice in your head telling you that You're not cut For the nine-to-five job and there is Something else Out there more exciting and rewarding Waiting for you i had different

Experiences At different companies i cannot say that My corporate jobs were Always entirely depressing or worthless For me after all if i didn't have those Jobs i wouldn't end up creating my Online business Because i've got the ideas and a lot of Experience in online marketing Which i'm using in my business every day And the main thing i learned at my Corporate jobs Was that i can do almost anything if i Put Enough effort into learning it but a few Things have stuck with me And eventually led me to a decision that Corporate world Was not for me at my first corporate job My boss the editor-in-chief of an online Magazine Had to go for a maternity leave i was Initially very honored because She chose me out of the entire team and Told Our higher level boss that i was the Best candidate to work in her place Initially i was asked to work for the Same salary But to do the job of two people at the Same time i agreed Because it was supposed to be a Temporary trial situation But six months passed and nothing

Changed I was working extra hours at the office And then Kept working at home in the evenings to Keep up with all the work i had to do For the two Of us and i was exhausted but hopeful Because i thought by the end of the six Months Something would have to change i was Waiting and waiting and waiting but No one was asking me to talk about the Future so i Initiated a meeting with the high-level Boss and he said That he was happy with the work that i Was doing in the two positions So the meeting was all going well until I asked if there is any change in my Salary or in my official position Expected anytime soon and then he told Me that i was too young For editor-in-chief position although i Was six months in Doing that work for free i was 23 years Old but It wasn't the real reason he just didn't Want to admit That i was entitled to a race and that's It So i told him alright thank you for your Time I quit but what stuck with me on that Meeting was that

When signing my papers he saw that Before this job which was my First full-time job after the university While i was still studying i had a Part-time job as a waitress So he looked at my papers and made a Pretty humiliating remark Something along the lines of from a Waitress to an editor-achieve huh I was actually very proud of that Waitress job because i never had to ask My mom for money Since i left home at the age of 18 years And I always worked part-time while studying Basically at my first office job i faced The glass ceiling and biased attitude It was the first red flag for me and Since then I started thinking of my way out of the Corporate world I don't want to talk in this video about All the signs that Bring you to the decision to quitting Your day job And starting your own thing each one of Us Had some kind of experiences that worked As these Red flags and led us to a decision about Quitting the nine to five I can just tell you that i personally Always felt that i wanted more control Over what exactly i do at my job

I always wanted to set my financial and Expertise-wise goals way higher than any Job i ever had could offer I wanted my own thing and starting an Online business Was just the most logical and affordable For me logical because i always worked For companies that operated mainly Online So i had a pretty good understanding of What i was going to do And affordable because you can start an Online business with a little investment Of about three dollars a month Which is the cost of hosting of your Website if you want to know what i'm Talking about I left a link in the description below This video so one of the things you Should and should not Do between the moment when you take a Decision to quit your job And actually quitting the first thing Don't tell About your decision to any one of your Colleagues Too early it might be even your best Friend who will share the news with Their best friend And so on and on maximum in a week your Boss will know all about your idea of Quitting And who knows what will be the reaction And how you might lose the position of

Strength When you actually need to talk to your Boss The second thing is to save enough money To live For at least six months without an Income stream You don't know how fast things will get Going for you In your own business always hope for the Best but be prepared For the worst case scenario you never Know imagine that you quit your job and Your business idea was in tourism niche Now look back at the beginning of the Pandemic and how de facto tourism You need to have the time and space in Your head To start fresh and focus on your own Business without having to worry about Your basic bills and needs The third thing is start a side hustle While at your 9 to 5 job This is something i actually did before Quitting my job the last And the final time i started a blog and Was working on it for about 11 months While still at my day job so i did have To sacrifice some of my netflix time and About six Hours on weekends for almost a year to Work on my blog As a side hustle and without seeing Significant financial returns initially

And here i am now making about 350 000 In annual income with my blog if you Want to see my detailed income report I'll give you a link in the top right Corner and in the description below this Video So that's why i told you started while You're still At your nine-to-five job and build up The skills that you need To be ready to quit find your first few Clients if you're going to be a Freelancer Or start any kind of service-based Business so that When you quit your job you have a smooth Transition And already have some history in your Business Tip number four is write an official Resignation letter Even if you already talked to your boss Writing an official resignation letter Is probably even more important because It's your legal document That defines the last day of your work In many countries workers are obliged by Law to give an official notice to the Company two weeks or even a month In advance if you are new to the Corporate world It might be a surprise to you if you Just talked to your boss but You didn't sign an official resignation
