When resume writing was just my side-hustle

When resume writing was just my side-hustle, I would devote my entire weekend to doing all the work I needed to do to keep things going.

Friday at 6:00 pm, I would log off my work computer, drive back to the apartment, and immediately log onto my laptop. I would then spend the next six hours prospecting, sending emails, writing resumes and cover letters, and checking up on clients.

The entire weekend would continue like this, and it was only on Sunday evenings that I would stop to take a break.

I had one folder on my desktop that contained everything - templates, client agreements, and Excel sheets filled with all kinds of workflows, pricing breakdowns, and metrics.

After a particularly long and challenging weekend, I would find myself staring at the folder and wonder what it was all for.

Looking back on it now, the one overwhelming thought I have is gratitude. I could have easily - and I mean easily - deleted that folder with one click.

But I didn't quit - and because I didn't quit, I got to create and shape the life I always wanted. I became my own boss. I figured out how to make the same income while cutting my work hours in half. I even found a place just a few minutes away from the beach - something that I dreamed about my entire life.

If you have a folder on your desktop that contains everything you've ever wanted for your life, my challenge for you is to take this entire weekend and get to work. :)

With each weekend and with each bit of effort you make, you'll get closer and closer to fulfilling your dreams.
