One underrated and inspiring book to read if you absolutely hate your job
There’s nothing that will get you motivated to make big changes in your life like absolutely hating your job.
A crappy job (or just working for crappy people) can be truly suffocating.
It’s not just that it consumes so many of your precious, finite hours on this planet — though that is surely a big part of it — it’s that you know you’re trapped.
You need shelter, you need to eat, and thus you know your employer has you over a barrel.
Around the start of the COVID pandemic, I was in a dark, dark place regarding my employment situation.
The pay was great, but the work was boring and unfulfilling and the management was brutal.
Although I have a new 9-to-5 now — one I quite like and that pays me even better than before — I spent a lot of time looking for ideas about how to escape my previous situation.
There was one book that I happened upon right away that set me on my current course of generating an average of more than $50 per day in side hustle income in just 5 months.
I do like my job right now, but I know employees are expendable and I’ve always wanted to own my own business.
I also want to ensure I have options and emergency income should anything pop up that I can’t cover with my salary.
