I quit my job 6 months ago to start my own journey and this is what happened

During these six months, I created several projects, sold one of them for a 5-digit price and now I am working on Replyze.com and AnyToSpeech.com.

I started creating my projects 3 years ago. Over the years I have created about 27 projects and only a few of them brought any income. I did this in my free time from my main job and it was very difficult to combine, but I had a goal.

Do I regret leaving my paid job? No! For the sake of this freedom, I am ready to endure failures and small income at the initial stage.

Previously, I was a WordPress developer, now I am a Node.js developer, marketer and entrepreneur all rolled into one.

In addition, I also became a Twitter blogger where I talk about my journey: https://twitter.com/AlexBelogubov

    Incredible story Alex.

    I'm in a similar position, two days ago my 6th month of nomading and unemployment started.

    Would love to follow your journey, and apparently, I already follow you on Twitter!

    Best of luck! I did something similar back in 2016 but I had no success.

    It takes a lot of guts to take such a step. You've got this!

    I've also decided to go all in and started validating my first idea. Excited about the adventure ahead!

    Kind of the same situation here, but I'm doing a part-time job for safety and freedom. Wish me luck as I aim to go full-time in pursuit of freedom.

      Good luck! You will succeed!
