Since he got his first taste of entrepreneurship and passive income at the age of six, Nick had a different idea about what he wanted his life to be like.

Today Nick views success very differently than he did in his early twenties. On this episode of the How to Quit Working Show, Nick will share how he made that shift as well as:  • How to change the way you approach

Wesley Murph started a pet business because he didn't want to work for someone else. It went well. An episode of Cesar Milan's Dog Whisperer was even filmed at his shop. After that, the business exploded. The top line was great, but when Wesley looked at the bottom line, he started wondering if all the work was really worth it. He was tethered to the business. He had to pay the bills, open the doors, manage the employees and all the other things that go along with running a brick and mortar store. Since he is fiercely devoted to lifestyle, Wesley looked at his options. One of the parts of his business he really enjoyed and was quite good at it was the marketing. Particularly direct response marketing. “If you are waiting on that perfect opportunity, product or time, it's not going to happen” So he started looking at his options. One rose to the surface. Copywriting. Wesley shut down the pet business and started a copywriting business. Now he makes money at home and on most days – he's done by noon. Let's fi

Chris Vaca had a successful mortgage brokerage. It was making good money and life was great. Until the housing market collapsed and the mortgage business went to hell in a handbasket. Chris's profits quickly dried up and he had to shut the business down. Soon his savings dried up. With no income he had to use his savings to stay afloat. But before long, he had no car, he was evicted from his apartment and had nowhere to go. Faced with the most difficult situation of his life, he had no choice but to move in with his ex-wife! He was humiliated, but determined to turn his life around. He had heard about people making money online and thought, “Why cant' I do that?” And he did. In the span of eight months, Chris went from having no income to finally moving out of his wife's house and into his own apartment. That was the BEST day of his life. But it wasn't an easy eight months. On this episode of the “How to Quit Working Show” Chris is going to share: How the heck does a 56-year-old learn all this crazy technol

Authors are either dirt poor and starving or they are hugely successful like J.K. Rowling. If you want to get a book published, you have to get a big, New York Publishing House to give you the green light. You need a lot of money to write and publish a book. All lies. When Garret Robinson was working his full-time job, he was writing on the side, dabbling with selling a few books on Amazon, knowing he wanted to write full-time, but not sure if he would ever be able to. Then he got the Golden Boot. The Golden Boot is when you are working a job that you aren't really that excited about, you lose that job and as a result, you pursue something that makes you way happier than the job ever did. Garrett looked at his options. He could get another job that probably wouldn't make him happy, or he could pursue this writing thing full-time. Because he has, in his words, “the most supportive wife ever,” he pursued the writing path. Less than a year later, Garrett is making a good living, paying the bills as a full-time

Sales people are sleezy. Sales people are out to get your hard-earned money just so they can make a buck. Sales people are greedy. Money is evil. It's the root of all evil. Talking about money is rude and impolite. If you believe even one of these things, you will want to listen to this episode of the How to Quit Working Show. Anyone who wants to achieve Freedom through Entrepreneurship needs one skill and one skill only. Selling. Jason Kanigan started off his career selling large expensive power equipment to construction companies. And he did well. But what bothered him was that he just didn't understand why sometimes he got the sale and sometimes he didn't. He wanted to understand the process of selling better. So he set out to figure it out. And he did. He figured it out really well. In fact, he dissected it like a frog in high-school biology class and assembled it back into a well-oiled process that gets results.  Before long, he found out (rather abruptly) that there is no security in the corporate wor
