    If you find yourself dreaming about turning your hobby or passion into a full-time career, it might be time to 1) do it, or 2) find something more fulfilling.

  • You’ve included lotto tickets in your weekly budget
    Don’t get me wrong, the thought of a huge influx of cash is ideal regardless of how you feel about your job. What I really mean is, you’ll do ANYTHING to not have to work anymore…have you ever considered that you’re just not in the right job?

  • You get annoyed about things that used to excite you

  • You envy your pets' lifestyle
    TBH this one got me. I know we all love our furry friends, but if you catch yourself wishing you were your dog more often than not, it might be a hint that you're not fully satisfied with your current job.

  • You’re fantasizing about becoming an influencer
    Daydreams of quitting your job to become the next big TikTok influencer? Obviously ee know that influencing is a real job…it’s 2024!

And word on the street is that influencing isn’t as easy as it looks….just saying.

  • You've already planned your resignation
    You know exactly what you’re going to say, and it brings you oh so much joy.
