I quit my job! No idea what’s next

Please reach out if you're open to connecting

I quit my job. Nothing lined up and no idea what’s next.

I was doing this journaling thing on here for a while and I want to keep up with that. It has been harder to write about more vulnerable stuff like this vs what stock I was analyzing that day. So just trying to get back into it and exercise the muscle here.

I think I want to do something entrepreneurial but no idea how or what. I have probably 5 months or so to try to figure something out.

Next couple months, just trying to cast a wide net and talk to a ton of people and keep an open mind. Some ideas that have come up are Substack newsletter (preferably microcaps, but would anyone read that?) or taking out an SBA loan to buy an SMB.

I don’t need much. Probably $85k gross income or something. I just want the freedom.

If I fail I have multiple layers of backup plans. First – try to find a normal job again. Part of me is still open to some sort of investing if it’s the right fit but I am not sure. I was going to try to take a break from investing but that didn’t pan out (working on THRY). I think I am some kind of addicted to it. But unsure if working at a fund is the right career fit for me. If not investing – probably more seeking out something that matches a certain structure of lifestyle that I want. Fully remote, not super stressful or long hours, etc.

If none of that pans out I move back home and work for the family business (junkyard) for a bit. Or maybe move in with a friend in Austin and take whatever I can find.

No idea how this all plays out but trusting in God.

Also – like I said – I am trying to talk to a lot of people so feel free to reach out. Happy to talk over DM, email, phone, Zoom, whatever.

I will be journaling the journey:
