But also I had to be careful because I needed to burn the boats and storm the island.

Another thing I learned from Tony, meaning once I let go and left, I couldn't look back because the allure of my nine to five job and working with Tony Robbins and having that regular paycheck was very sexy to me.

And so I didn't look back, meaning I didn't take odd jobs with them.

I didn't become a contractor with my nine to five position.

I did cut ties, not relationship wise, but money wise.

I was out on my own when I left and that was important as well.

So I took these baby steps to get there, but when I was done, I was done.

Oh, so, so many.

Okay, so the first thing I did was I took that side hustle and I just made it a full-time thing, which was really helpful.

Meaning I was doing social media for small businesses.

So I had two clients when I left and then I put some feelers out there.

I didn't have a big following or anything like that.

So I told friends of friends, hey, I'm for hire.

This is what I do.

I do social media for small businesses.

Got a few clients in there.

So I was making enough money to cover my bills.

And my goal was to make enough money

meet the salary I was making at Robbins, which I think at the time was around $160,000.

So I wanted to make $160,000 in that first year.
