Introduction: Quit Your 9-to-5 Job and Become a Solopreneur 1. Your phone's alarm goes off. 2. It's time to get up, shower, grab a bagel and coffee on the way to work, and drive there. 3. You appear to be on autopilot every day. There's no need to think about it; just do it. For many people, a traditional 9-5 job, while somewhat secure, is not what they expected when they signed up for it. You may only have two weeks of vacation per year; the pay is pitiful; the people are a bunch of gossipers; and the work - well, let's just say you don't really need your degree to do what you're doing. People, particularly Millennials, are increasingly abandoning full-time employment. Climbing to the top of a company is no longer a common career path. Millennials, on the other hand, frequently see eBay, starting your own company, or growing your own business as the new norm. And the data backs this up: eBay is on the rise. eBay is one of the most active online marketplaces, with a multibillion-dollar turnover and over 180 million users. They were only of the workforce seven years ago. And it's only going to get worse as more people realize the freedom that being a solopreneur provides. If having *no* boss is what you're looking for, here's how to get it right away. There are some people who despise their 9-5 jobs. When they describe their job, it sounds like a prison sentence, complete with roadside manual labor and the old' shackle and chains. Their job makes them a prisoner, which they despise. Others adore their 9-to-5 jobs. They go to work and enjoy the fact that they have no ownership in the company and can leave at any time without incurring any liability. I've had several jobs. I spent the first half of my twenties starting seven businesses, six of which failed miserably and one of which became an overnight success (that I later walked away from). I then got a corporate job in a bank and had to wear a suit to work. The lobby resembled a hotel, and the language used was never profane. My next position was a cross between a startup and a corporate, with a focus on people management. You're trapped. As each day passes, you can't wait for the weekend to be over, so you don't have to think about work. No more bosses breathing down your neck, no more pre-planned breaks, and certainly no more long commutes. Weekends are your life. You know you don't want this job, but you're stuck with it. You want out but don't know how, whether you want to quit your job to travel more, try something new, or if you're just bored or unhappy with what you're doing. What are you going to do? How do you leave a stable and secure job to pursue a life of hustling for work? And can you make a living from eBay?
