Hello everyone, as you might have noticed by the title I am here mostly for my partner.
Why this forum? He is the one who advised me to read Unscripted , introducing the book as in line with his beliefs.
For as long as I have known him he hates his day job, is really invested in crypto and can't wait to quit his job and get freedom. I'm sure you all understand.
Other than crypto he wants to open a subscription based online store. But, in his words, "he just doesn't have the energy to". I am a web designer by trade and studied some marketing in school, so his idea went like this. I do 100% of the work for the subscription-based online store, inital idea, website, marketing, etc. And he covers the finances.
I work part time and have the time and energy to do it.
Now, I don't mind building and working on the store, I am having fun and practicing my marketing skills, and the prospect of making money out of it is good.
But the further I get into reading Unscripted the more I feel like he is causing his own demise by financing the store and leaving me to build and manage it. (I might be wrong, but that's my opinion)
Not having freedom in his day to day life is REALLY weighing on him, putting him in a bad mood and draining him.
I offered some advice but of course I'm not his mother and he is an adult capable of his own choices.
Advice like, "go to sleep early since your job requires you to wake up at 6am".
Not taken.
Do you see the full picture now? I feel like he is so close but he needs a push in the right direction.
Maybe someone in this forum who found themselves in a similar situation is able to give some words of advice?
Oh and, @MJ DeMarco I don't know how active you are on the forum but I would really appreciate if you took your time and wrote your take on this.
Thanks in advance,
Molly
