This week’s show:
After a 30-year career in software and IT, Les Worley was burned out.
The 60-hour work weeks, time away from his husband and constant demands of his role as an IT director were all taking a toll.
And not even a comfortable six-figure salary was enough to make grinding it out worthwhile.
So Les turned in his letter of resignation, thanked his boss and made a leap into freelance writing.
Two years later he’s having way more fun, enjoys the freedom of being his own boss, and his income is inching closer and closer to the six-figure salary he left at his old job — with the added bonus of working fewer hours.
How’d he do it?
Les shortcut his freelance success by taking his expertise as an IT professional and translating that into writing services for hi-tech companies.
You can do the same.
