I did NOT expect this to happen from quitting my 9-5:
I became a morning person.
For 30 years straight, I struggled to wake up early.. School. Work. Whatever the reason..
I always snoozed the alarm.
Turns out I just needed something to look forward to wake up for.

I went on a hike on a Tuesday morning because the weather was nice.
No boss I had to ask permission. No meetings I had to attend.
This is why I quit my 9-5 office job and started working on my own creative business.

Remember:
If you're the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with..
What do you think happens when
you spend 8 hours per day in an uninspiring office surrounded by colleagues, that only look forward to the weekend and are just there so they can pay their bills?

and “the pay is pretty good”,
and you’ll “quit one day to follow your dreams”

That day will never come.
The longer you wait, the harder it gets.
You’re pressing the snooze button on your dreams.

How I work my ass off while staying sane & happy:

- I eat whatever the f*ck I want on the weekends.

- 4 hours of deep work in the morning

If thinking of your future doesn’t excite you, you need goals & meaning.
If thinking of your past doesn’t bring you peace, you need acceptance & forgiveness.
If thinking of the present doesn’t make you happy, you need gratitude & progress.

Ever experienced the 'Phantom 9-5 Syndrome'?
You're on a chill walk outside when suddenly you're hit with the feeling that your manager might call you, or that you need to log back in asap.
But then you remember - you've cut off that job from your life a long time ago.

There are 3 ways to escape the 9-5:
1) The Freelancer route:
Switch from working as a full-time employee to working as a freelancer.
This gives you control over your time, over the projects you work on and control over your income (you get paid more)
The next step would be:

You just need 11 minutes for a perfect start of the day:
- 0,5 min. to make your bed
- 0,5 min. to drink a glass of water
- 5 min. to spend in morning sunlight
- 3 min. cold shower
- 1 min. of gratitude practice
- 1 min. of writing down "One Big Goal" for the day
Now you work.

Lady next to me on the airplane was watching Netflix & playing Candy Crush at the same time.
Her dopamine receptors are fried.
She was in her 50s. It's not just Gen Z who's fucked.
Point being:
If attention is the new currency then being able to focus is like printing money.

You don’t need to do much to be in the top 1% of people:
- work out a couple of times per week
- get 7+ hours of sleep
- eat relatively healthy
- think about what you want in life
- work 3-4 hours / day towards that goal
- spend time with people you love
That’s it

To be fair, sometimes those "on point, structured productive days" feel good every now and then.
But it's the "beating yourself up if I miss one" that messes you up in the long-term.
Stay productive but learn to let go.
Work hard but also play hard.

$6k+ in passive income in the last 4 months.
This may not be much to some.
But it meant a lot to me.
Not because of the money I earned.
But because it made me realise something:

Worst thing about working a 9-5 office job?
You can't be your true self.
You're incentivised to be politically correct, dress and speak formal..
You can't be 100% authentic all the time.
Nor can your colleagues.
Meaning you're also surrounded by inauthentic people.

Harsh Truth:
If you can't wake up early in the morning, it's most likely because you lack an exciting reason to wake up for.
That, or you've just worked a night shift.

I attended a funeral for the first time in my life today.
A lot of people were present.
Most cried.
But as soon when we left the Crematory, people were talking about dinner, traffic and tomorrows plans.
You'll be forgotten in no time, so do whatever the fuck you want to do.

Freelancing was my stepping stone to freedom.
The day I started freelancing:
I tripled my income overnight and had more control over my time.
I used the income to invest into myself, a camera and traveling.
I used the extra time to create videos and grow my personal brand.

Do you know why it's called Freelancing ?
The first part of the word implies you're "free" to pick your clients and projects, you're free to charge how much you want, you're free to work when and how you want.
However, most people don't know the 2nd part:
