Notes from Chris
Episode 491
THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: In today's recap, we look at the concept of when you should leave a good job. I've been thinking about it this week because I'm in the middle of recording an audio version of my first book, The Art of Non-Conformity. The right time to leave a good job is right before you get tired of it. In the long-run, you’ll do your best work when you’re excited about doing it. That’s why I believe so much in planning for your future, or at least building for a future of choice. In today's recap, I'll delve into the best time to leave a good job, and how having a side hustle can help you—listen to the Weekly Recap to learn more! LISTENER UPDATES + QUESTIONS: This week, we received a listener email from a side hustler named Sean:- Sean: "Hi Chris! I've listened to every episode since day one. Love the podcast and appreciate your insights.I currently have a 9-5 but put all of my energy and passion into my other business which I hope will replace my 9-5 very soon (but you can technically call it a side hustle for now). I create videos for small, sustainable and socially responsible businesses. Basically, I only do work for companies that I share the same values with. I know—horrible business model! To get to the point... You had an episode about a small, organic energy bar company called Mammoth Bar. They seemed like an ideal company to do work for so I reached out. We had a great first meeting, and I created a short animated video for them about their brand and bars. We still maintain a great relationship and they would like more videos in the future. I can send you a link to the video if you are interested. Just wanted to share this story with you as a huge thanks! Not only are you inspiring people to create side hustles but also connecting people from around the world. [Check out Ep. 219 to hear Mammoth Bar's story!]"
