Well, let me take you on a walk with me down memory lane to illustrate how quickly you can start a simple business like this to replace the income from your job.

1. I created my first lifestyle business in less than a day after a layoff. It doubled my annual income from what I had been earning from an earlier employer.

2. I secretly created my second lifestyle business in about a week as a potential side hustle. I immediately landed a part-time client with a retained engagement of $10K/month.

3. I built my third lifestyle business in about two weeks. I’ve been running this business ever since then, and I haven’t worked in a 9-5 job for over 12 years.
