How to Quit Your Job and Make Money
• After studying German and Business Administration at university, Michael became fascinated with the internet and the worldwide web.
• With the launch of Netscape, he decided to start building websites and tried selling them, but it was too early for most people to understand what it was.
• During his degree, he applied for many jobs and eventually accepted a job offer from ExxonMobil in Scotland.
• He hated the job and realized that many of his colleagues had been there for multiple years with no light left in their eyes.
• Michael tried to encourage his company to embrace the internet but they refused and he realized he could not make any difference being such a small cog in a huge machine.
• The final straw was when he stood in for another colleague who had gone on maternity leave and didn't receive any feedback after completing her tasks.
• A risk taker and internet enthusiast, Michael worked at a job he loathed for 35 years until he wrote his retirement letter.
• He pursued a side hustle while still working in the form of an online community for seniors in the UK.
• At the same time, he was consulting with the Scottish government and other small business owners.
• His risk-averse father provided him with final encouragement, leading him to make the leap and quit his job.
• Money may be a driving factor, but it takes more than that - fire in your belly is necessary to make it as an entrepreneur.
