2 years ago, I was working a tiring night shift job. Now, I work whenever I want.

If you had told me this 2 years back, I would say that’s wild!

I never knew it was possible to earn a living without a job.

But when I found content on social media that showed me the possibility, I dived into it, and what happened next changed my life.

  • I earned way more than my 9–5 job.
  • I helped my husband leave his job and start freelancing with me.
  • I helped my friend become a freelancer.
  • I started helping other freelancers through my 1:1 consultations.
  • I built a strong personal brand and started getting brand collabs.

And so much more.

All these without any negative feelings, all these without thinking why someone else is earning more than me even when I’m working so hard, all these without feeling drained.

So, here are 5 things that helped me escape the rat race.

And I hope this helps you too.

Unlike my colleagues, I was not guarding my money all the time.
