I just handed in notice. It happened very quickly and I went through a range of emotions. I'm 22, and saved about $70k still at home and I just thought... F*ck this, this job blows, the people suck, and I only get $40,000 in my pocket after taxes anyway. I will never get where I want doing this. As soon as I move out I will be stuck here!
So to the plan.. I'm going to stick to a day planner, wake up at 6 every morning, and try and flip as many items as I can wherever I can, cars, iPhones, whatever. that's for cash flow. I'm a web developer so I am going to freelance and undercut big businesses, providing smaller clients with custom solutions at a competitive rate. I'm also going to try and implement pay by the month services, get a few hundred places on $5/month plans to roll in some cash.
I'm also going to get fit. Healthy is wealthy, and being chained to a desk I've grown a mini gut that's just making me feel like shit. to hell with it - I'm gonna give 2012 everything I have, and if it doesn't work out I can always go back and get a job, hopefully with some savings left over. I hope it doesn't come to that.
Not planning on telling the parents. I'm gonna wake up everday and work "on the go" in different coffee shops and on the train. They would be very unsupportive of the idea. I'll let them know what i've been doing after I've done it so they can't tell me "I can't do it" nothing like having someone sap your drive with their negative limited views.
Life is short. I'm going to go for it. If I fall flat on my face, at least I'll have tried.
Wish me luck! oh, and PM me any advice if you have other "ideas" .. it's unlikely I will take your market share of any given idea, given I am in Australia
Unless I go global, which I won't rule out.
