Yeah, no thanks. I did the 9-5 thing for about 20 years off and on (also ran my own businesses for a few years in the middle). I left my last corporate job 12 years ago and never went back. I've never been happier and healthier!

I was wasting 3-4 hours a day on a freeway commute. I dealt with toxic managers and leadership. My mental and physical health were terrible.

I've been running my own businesses ever since and love it. Do I work hard? Yes, I sure do.

But, I am building something for me, not for someone else. If I want to make more income, I adjust my business strategies and do so. No boss to beg for a raise.

I work out every day, eat healthier, and spend time with my family. It's amazing!

I own my schedule and there's nothing like time freedom. I live wherever I want, work when I want, and spend time with the people I enjoy being around.

I would never return to a 9-5 job. My lifestyle is so much better now!
