Hi, I'm Lori Mercer. Like most of you reading this right now, I had an amazing corporate job. Good pay. Great people. Projects I didn't hate (most of the time). I was living the dream. But my heart was always torn because 4 little people and one amazing man were missing out on the best I had to give them.
For over a decade I jumped at every headline offering me freedom of time and money, tried a few direct sales and MLM ventures and lost serious money and time before I realized that my skills and talents that were allowing me to rockstar my corporate job were desired and commanding top pay outside these walls.
When you're choking back tears in that corporate cubicle, remember they don't want you to look outside. They keep you so busy focused on the "next big project" that you forget to stop and look up and get outside your own head and those confining walls.
Your professional skills can land you a freelance gig in as little as a week. (I hate hype so don't read into that. I wouldn't say it if it weren't true.)
Do this right and you'll have your exit plan mapped and be doing work you love, with clients you chose at the convenience and flexibility your family's schedule needs.
Be a quitter like me. Quit the rat race. Quit crying in your car after the daycare drop off. Quit giving your best to those who don't appreciate it enough. Quit doubting yourself. Quit staying in the dark to opportunities that can change your life.
