What Really Happens After You Quit a High-Paying Job (60 Days Later)

Spoiler: No, I didn’t make ₹2 Crores by working 2 hours a day. But I did gain something far more valuable: control over my time.

Why I Quit the Corporate World

Exactly 60 days ago, I left my stable, high-paying job in the corporate world.

No drama. No "I’m done" moment. Just a calm, clear decision.

I wasn’t chasing 2X money or an exotic lifestyle.

I was chasing freedom.

→ Freedom to choose what to work on.
→ Freedom to create without approvals.
→ Freedom to spend my time with intention.

But here's the truth no one tells you:

Freedom isn’t free.

Did I Make More Money? Let’s Be Honest.

So, let’s address the elephant in the room.

Did I make ₹2 Crores in revenue working just 2 hours a day?

Absolutely not.

In fact, I’m making half of what I used to earn in my full-time job.

But I’m not worried. Because money was never the main metric.

Money is an outcome.

What matters more are the inputs: what I do daily and how I grow.

Tools I Use to Run My Solopreneur Business

I often get asked: “What tools are you using to manage all this?”

Here’s my daily stack:

• YouTube – for video content

• LinkedIn – for thought leadership and reach

• Canva – for thumbnails and visuals

• Camtasia – for video editing

• Zoom – for sessions and meetings

• ConvertKit (via Kit) – for email automation

• ChatGPT – for brainstorming and editing

• Pabbly – for payment and workflow automation

(Note: Except YouTube, all are paid tools.)

I also have an editor who helps with my English YouTube channel.

Why I’m Sharing All This With You

Not to impress you.

But to show you the real side of this journey.

Quitting your job isn’t a magic pill.
Freelancing isn't always glamorous.
And building your own thing? It’s hard.

But…

It’s also deeply fulfilling.

You’ll sleep better at night knowing your time is finally your own.

So if you're thinking of making a similar leap:

→ Cover your financial base first
→ Don’t expect miracles in month one
→ Focus on inputs, not outcomes
→ Chase consistency, not viral growth
→ Build with courage, not fear

Because over time, it compounds.

And no paycheck can match the peace of owning your time.

Final Thoughts

I’m earning less right now, and I’m okay with it.

Because the paycheck shrank,
but the peace of mind has never been bigger.

So ask yourself:

What would you build if your time was truly yours?

Hope this helps you understand the raw and real journey.
