Lots of people are in jobs that they dislike, but few actually do something about it. It’s scary. Jobs provide securities for people and there is risk with trying to change it or do something on your own. If it’s a switch to a different company, just be sure to not quit before having that other job ready to go. It’s easier to get a job while you have one, and it’s an even bigger risk to just up and quit without a plan. But what if you want to create your own business and don’t like your full time job? How do you get out of it, make peace with it?

If you’re in a job you don’t like and have an idea for your own business, yes it’s scary with lots of risk. Start with making peace with the job you hate. Easier said than done, but let yourself know that it’s not a long term position for you. If you’re in this place then you’ve understood that you’re meant for more in this life. Use the full-time job to fuel your side hustle until the side hustle can replace the income of your current job. It may be faster or longer than you expect, so be ok with either, especially if it’s longer. Try to not take your work home with you and let yourself leave it all there.

Doing this will allow you to keep the lights on, but will also let you start doing the thing(s) you really love and actually want to do. When you start working on your true passions, more money than you were making before will eventually come. Putting that high-powered energy towards your desirous work will make it 10x easier to work, and the work will be that much better. Allow yourself to do what you want to do and be happy. It’s hard when you’re in a position you hate, but make peace with it and start doing what you really want to do.
