Yes, I’m Doing It—Quitting My Job This Week

I’ve made up my mind—this week, I’m quitting my 9-5 job.

I’m 22 years old, single, with no major responsibilities holding me back. If there’s ever a time to take a leap of faith and bet on myself, it’s now. For the past few months, I’ve been building a SaaS agency and working on other SaaS tools in my free time, and I’m ready to go all in.

There’s a proverb I can’t stop thinking about: “If you want to take the island, burn the boats.” That’s exactly what I’m doing. No fallback, no safety net—just full focus and drive to make this work.

The truth is, the 9-5 grind has been wearing me down mentally. It feels like every day, I’m pouring my energy into something that isn’t aligned with what I really want to achieve. I have big aspirations, and staying in this routine is holding me back.

I know it’s a risk, but it’s one I’m willing to take. If I don’t try now, I’ll always wonder what could’ve been.

Wish me luck—and if you’ve taken a similar leap, I’d love to hear your story. What pushed you to take the risk, and how did it go?
