Introducing the Day Job Detox Newsletter
My journey from 9-5 to self-employed
2023 has already been such a crazy year…
I quit my comfortable full-time job, moved to Portugal and started my own business!
Now I’m documenting the journey with Day Job Detox. And I’m launching this newsletter in tandem with my podcast and YouTube just to make sure I get out of my comfort zone of writing text.
The hope is that the podcast and YouTube show off a little more personality than just words on a page.
Either way, the content will be on the same topics! I’m sharing my journey and hopefully inspiring a few people who always wanted to start their own business but never knew how.
Granted, I can’t say that I know exactly what I’m doing here. I’m just trying to build something to be proud of - while hopefully making some money in the process. (After all, isn’t that what business is?)
But I also hope to offer a few gold nuggets of advice to future entrepreneurs, after enough of my own trial and error.
And yes, I’m not a seasoned entrepreneur. I’m just some guy who’s passionate about the idea of starting a business.
You might think I’m not the right person to start an entrepreneurship newsletter. But I’d argue I’m the exact person who needs to tell this story.
I’ve spent my entire career working for other people. I helped household brands like Nike, Tommy Hilfiger and Virgin Atlantic improve their SEO and reporting capabilities.
Now I’m starting my own business.
I’ll document the entire transition from a steady job to a rocky adventure.
Everything I’m learning, thinking, feeling… I’m laying it all out bare.
So if you’re interested in this journey and my learnings along the way, hit subscribe and I’ll see you in a few days!
Get ready to flush out the 9 to 5 with your weekly dose of Day Job Detox!
Yours truly,
