Yet 40 - Don't Quit Your Day Job (yet)

from The Write Mindset with T.C. BurrChange your mind. Write your book. · host T.C. Burr

Welcome to Season 3 of the Yet podcast! This week on the show - don’t quit your day job! No, this isn’t me making a joke at your expense after you step off of the karaoke stage.  I am all for taking big risks, pursuing your dream, and building something amazing.  I think the world needs what you have to offer, and the biggest mistake you can make is to not take any action toward your dream job.  But I think for many of us, the temptation is strong - the minute we get that big idea - to quit our jobs and go “all in” on writing, podcasting, and business-building.  In this week’s episode, I share 4 reasons why I think hanging on to that day job (for now) is a really good idea.  Your day job can help fund your dream job Having a solid day job can decrease pressure and extend the runway Working a day job allows for valuable connections & networking  It keeps your skills and knowledge sharp setting you up for future success Want help creating new habits & making progress toward your dream?

Burr After years of putting it off, I have started writing my debut novel—a story about friendship, and about growing up. It follows the lives of a group of young men as they navigate the world between two mountainous seasons of life, with all the twists, turns and trials that come with growing up. Through this podcast, I aim to highlight inspiring stories from fellow writers, entrepreneurs, and creatives, offering encouragement and practical advice for those pursuing their own creative and business ventures. A dream left on the shelf is one of life's greatest regrets. Today's a great day to get started. It's not that you haven't done it, it's just that you haven't done it yet.
