Transition from Full-Time CPA to Full-Time Blogger

Are you trying to build a blog business while also juggling a full-time job? How do you know when to take the leap and start blogging full time?

The transition to  full-time blogger will look a little different for everyone, and it depends on a lot of factors. If you have some savings stockpiled away, if you have a family and kids to consider, and of course, what stage your blog is at. 

You could probably say that Alex and I took that leap a little prematurely and it was definitely based more on feelings and desires rather than serious logic and rational decision-making.

But it worked for us and it turned out to be the best decision we ever made.

There were still doubts though, and those doubts and uncertainties were reflected in the faces of our families and friends when we told them we were giving up our full-time (full-paycheck) jobs.

But we had to try it, and I can tell you that one of the biggest things to get right during this time is… your mindset. 

The learning and growth process that happens as you transition into being a full-time blogger has everything to do with the money and the mindset…

In this episode, you will learn:

  • What my transition to blogging full time looked like.
  • The mindset shifts you need to consider during this process.
  • How to use your personality type to your advantage.
  • The possibilities open to you throughout the learning and growth process. 
  • Work-life balance??? Is that a thing??
  • What my full-time blogger life looks like now.

My hope is that you never let your mindset slow you down and I can see now where I made shifts that really propelled me forward.
