A healthy risk or just plain stupidity!

I got an email from a guy who told me that he has been reading my blog and he was inspired. He said he was at a job he hated (McDonald's) so being inspired to do a job he actually loved, he quit the next day! I started this blog to inspire people and wake people up to the fact that 40 hours a week is too long to spend doing something you don't like, with the eventual goal of moving on to a job or business you actually love. I want to be clear about the process. Once you have identified what or where you should be, you have to have an exit strategy, DON'T JUST QUIT YOUR JOB! It's not a calculated risk, it's just plain stupid. Make a solid step by step plan giving yourself a timetable, a plan without a timetable attached to it, is just a pipe dream. If you are in a position to leave sooner, still don't burn any bridges, you don't want to put yourself in a corner with little hope of getting out. If you are reading this chances are that you are at a job or business you don't like or maybe it's just not suited for you. We've made it through this long, just stick it out with the sight of the finish line in the distance! If you are somewhere you don't like and haven't started making any plans, what are you waiting for? The guy at McDonald's lives at home and has very little bills (he's 19) so he's probably going to be OK, but don't make a mistake and set yourself up for failure by not having a plan!
