What Would You Do If You Knew You Would Not Fail?

This was my company ID 8 years ago...

And this was also the year when I decided to quit my job and explore humanity.

I'll admit that it's challenging to look confident and composed when you're in that exact moment of quitting your job.

At this point, I was still young and very impulsive in life.

I can still imagine the exact feeling when I said to my boss that I want to resign.

On my final day, she asked me, "Where are you going? Did you receive a better offer from other companies?"

I said "Yes."

But the truth is I lied that time because I am scared to say that I don't enjoy what I do and I want to become an entrepreneur.

I'm not yet that confident.

It was not an easy decision.

I don't have any back-up plan.

I don't have connections.

And my family was completely against this decision.

But sometimes, you've got to take the risk so you can learn and expand your horizon.

I've learned a lot of things by pursuing this journey.

I'm not encouraging you to approach your boss tomorrow and resign straight away (unless you're ready to go down and dirty and experience the unpredictability of being an entrepreneur just like what I've experienced.)

But, I do think that taking that terrifying leap of faith was one of the highlights in my life experience.

I'll share with you what I've learned from making that big life decision:

1. Be in control.

What would you do if you knew you would not fail?

The earlier you realize that you are fully responsible for your life, the better. Contemplate what do you want to do and be on purpose.

If you don't prioritize your life, someone else will.

2. Be comfortable in uncomfortable situations.

As cliché as it may sound, growth happens outside our comfort zones.

Life is a battlefield. There will always be uncomfortable moments, and we must train ourselves to handle these situations.

3. Align yourself with the right people.

Throughout my journey, I realized the value of "alignment."

I always look for the right mentors in my life so it would be easier to pursue my journey and learn from their experiences.

Find a group of people who challenge and inspire you; spend a lot of time with them, and it will change your life.

That's why I also thought of creating a free and safe community (which I call "The 1% Growth Club") for people who are also passionate when it comes to self-help, work ethics, and daily improvement.

Inside this free community, I'll be more personal and I'll also share more valuable lessons & stories that I've learned from my journey.

If you're still reading this far, congratulations!

And if you are interested to join the community or if you can relate to the content that I'm sharing here on social media, feel free to drop me a message so I can send you the deets.

Hope this helps. Ciao and I'll see you inside!

Love. Jerom
