Quick Guide to Leaving Your Regular Job Over a Three-Month Period - Real-Life Example
=====================================================================================================
Sareeta, a former teacher, has recently achieved her dream of working from home full-time, thanks to a solopreneur program that provided her with the tools and guidance she needed to make the leap.
In October 2016, Sareeta started a virtual assistant business and joined a freelancer program in April 2017. Within her first 3 weeks of joining the program, she signed two new retainer clients, setting the stage for her successful transition.
Sareta believes that getting a full-time income within a couple of months is not an unrealistic goal, and the solopreneur program proved to be instrumental in making this belief a reality. The program provided her with concrete answers and direction, helping her to quit her day job.
The solopreneur programs teach best practices for creating a sustainable successful business, improving productivity, creating strategies, time management tips, and more. Sareta found the examples in the program, such as the daily schedule and 3-month plan, particularly useful.
To create a step-by-step plan to quit a day job and transition into working from home full-time within 3 months, follow these key steps:
- Assess Your Readiness and Build a Bridge First: Before quitting, evaluate if your motivation is towards an opportunity or simply running away from your job. Start by dedicating time each week to build your work-from-home business or remote career—through online courses, launching a small project, or writing a blog. This builds a financial and skill bridge while keeping your current job for stability.
- Create a Financial and Lifestyle Plan: Calculate your expenses and savings to ensure you can support yourself without a regular paycheck for the transition period. Plan your budget accordingly.
- Develop Remote Work Skills and Setup: Acquire skills needed for remote work success (time management, virtual communication, tech proficiency). Set up your home workspace with ergonomic furniture and reliable equipment. Create a daily schedule and workspace boundaries to emulate an office environment productivity.
- Network and Build Interpersonal Virtual Connections: Compensate for fewer face-to-face interactions by building relationships with colleagues and potential clients online, joining remote work communities, and seeking mentorship or collaboration opportunities.
- Design Your New Routine and Personal Life Adjustments: Align personal habits to support remote work success, such as improving sleep, establishing daily rhythms, and setting clear work-life boundaries like defined work hours and breaks.
- Find or Secure Remote Job or Client Opportunities: Actively search for remote job openings or freelance/contract work. Update your resume with remote experience and related skills. Leverage remote job platforms if needed.
- Create an Exit Strategy: When ready, give appropriate notice to your current employer with a professional transition plan. Ensure financial security to cover a buffer period and establish contingencies if income fluctuates.
Sareta found the solopreneur e-course extremely helpful in fulfilling her dream of controlling her own hours and income. The freelancer program includes step-by-step instructions, video lessons, complete transcripts, detailed workbooks, sample templates, calendar plan of action, and checklists.
Sareta's services page is converting better since implementing the Action Phase from the program. She also appreciates Sagan's teaching style as being easy-going yet realistic. During her second month, Sareta found the program's resources, such as the home office checklist, daily work-from-home schedule, and lesson on managing fears and anxieties, to be invaluable in helping her overcome her struggles and reach her income goal with her VA business in June.
Sareta is 100% satisfied with the solopreneur programs and encourages anyone looking to transition to working from home full-time to consider enrolling in one. The programs can help make the dream of working from home full-time a reality.
