Ep. #61: Get Over It!

In this episode, I interview guest, Rocky Lovanni, who is passionate about helping business owners implement profit strategies to be able to hit their financial goals. Rocky explains the 'Profit First' system, which encourages business owners to secure their profit and reasonable salary from day one, as well as setting aside funds for taxes.

Rocky started with nothing when his parents immigrated to the United States when he was two years old, and his parents were in their 40's. It was his parents' second time starting over in life as they moved here to experience the American dream. In spite of a lot of struggles and his mom passing away when Rocky was 7, he has been able to achieve financial and life success. Rocky loves to share his journey and inspire others to achieve their dreams even faster.

I believe it's so important for all of us to reflect on our own situations and make decisions that align with our personal goals and well-being.

Whether that means leaving your current job, starting a business, or finding happiness within your current circumstances, it's all about doing what's best for you.

So, grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and join me as we dive into this topic. I hope my story and insights can inspire you to take a step towards a happier and more fulfilling life.

Hey there!

Today, I want to chat with you about something that many of us have pondered at some point in our lives: the decision between sticking with a 9 to 5 job or exploring other possibilities.

I've got four key points to share with you on this topic.

First off, it's crucial to understand your personal financial needs. Everyone's situation is different, so take the time to figure out what works best for you.

Next, don't let the judgments of others sway your decision. It's your life, after all, and you should do what makes you happy and fulfilled.

Thirdly, remember to lean on your support systems. Having open conversations with your loved ones can provide valuable insights and guidance as you navigate this decision-making process.

Lastly, let's talk about the amazing opportunities that the digital age has brought us. There are so many avenues to explore outside of the traditional job, so don't be afraid to think outside the box and pursue your passions.

I can't stress enough the importance of financial independence and the potential of entrepreneurship in today's digital world. It's an exciting time, and there's no better moment to take control of your destiny.

So, my friend, I encourage you to focus on your own goals, have open conversations with your support system, and explore all the incredible possibilities that await you.

Remember, the choice is yours, and I'm here cheering you on every step of the way.
Let's make your dreams a reality!

Hey there! 

In this episode, I'm going to share some practical advice on how to transition from a 9 to 5 job. It's a topic that many of us can relate to, so I hope you find it helpful.

So, let's dive right in! I've outlined eight key steps that can make your transition smoother.

First and foremost, it's important to make a firm decision to leave. Once you've made up your mind, it's time to start planning and preparing for your exit.

Next, I suggest doing some research on your current benefits at your 9-5. It's essential to know what you'll be giving up and what you can potentially gain in your new venture. Alongside that, it's crucial to determine your savings and financial situation, so you can make informed decisions.

Now, here comes the exciting part! You have to consider whether you want to look for another job or take the leap and start your own business. Both options have their pros and cons, so take your time to weigh them carefully.

When it's time to leave your current job, remember to maintain professionalism. It's important not to burn any bridges, as you never know when you might need a reference or a connection in the future.

Lastly, I want to emphasize the importance of focusing on your personal happiness. Don't let others' opinions or expectations dictate your choices. Live for yourself and what makes you truly happy.

I hope these steps give you some clarity and confidence as you navigate this transition. I'm really excited for you and what lies ahead! Stay tuned for the next episode, where we'll dive into another interesting topic. Take care!
