[2023-06-18 04:49:32 PM] : Hey folks,
Are there any e-bombs on how to go from full time jobs to doing 30x500 type work full time? I don’t think I can increase my income from 30x500 to equal my current salary doing it a few hours a week. Would be great to see some stories or steps on how others have done this.

This one’s old, but it’s about finding/creating more time:

And I know they just shared something about negotiating with your job to go down to 4 days/week. It might have been launch content or related to Launch FTW…

I’m at a corp job, but its pretty intense, perhaps time to consider consulting.
[2023-12-05 07:48:34 AM] : From experience, consulting definitely pays better, Joseph Machado. However, it’s very easy to end up with several clients (well, that’s the whole point - to have a portfolio of clients). What then tends to happen, is you work fractionally with multiple clients, and that context switching really eats away at “out of work” time and concentration.
I personally found it much harder to do 30x500 while doing consulting. But, if you’re able to replace some clients with 30x500 work (even time-wise), it’s definitely a way out.
[2023-12-05 11:13:50 AM] : That makes sense, I did look into consulting and decided against it for the time being :laughing: It does not suit my working style very much atm
