    I quit my job and started a company in 2021. For two years I was developing my product, a new email service with some kickass novel features that keep you organized. I launched it this year.

    It hasn’t gained a whole lot of traction because I’m focusing now on building out the enterprise features (custom domains, user management for your domain).

    My goal this year is to get my first enterprise customers and start running advertisements for it.

      I use a different service that provides a similar functionality and it really is a game changer! I wish you the best of luck

    I quit my awful office job in September after 10 years to focus on recovery from acute health issues. I’ll be freelancing in 2024 and even though I know I made the right decision I’m secretly terrified that I will fail. Just gotta keep going!

        I’ll be taking on graphic design, branding, and motion graphics projects. I don’t have an online portfolio at the moment as I’m still getting everything together but if anyone is in need of design work they can certainly send me a message.

    I’m getting way fatter than I should; a result of sitting all day, staring at errors on my laptop. I may have to start jogging

    I quit my job at a defense contractor because I was tired of being used by the corporate machine to make billions of dollars from the lives of innocence civilians all to steal oil.

      Maan, the more rich you get, the more cynical you become… Somewhere in the lines “1% affected is not enough to see an issue as a serious matter” And that’s like couple of hundreds of people!

    I was unemployed for a (luckily) short period of time and it made me realise even more that as much as I enjoy the work I’ve done in 2023 (I work in tech) it’s not what I want to do forever.

    I have started getting things ready to make my company official in 2024 which will bring me one step closer to leaving my 9-5.

    I’m slowly turning into a couch potato. Nightly gaming, work, and shuttling kids to activities is taking me away from hobbies, socializing, and exercise.

    I lost my best friend and business partner early 2023. Then burnout. This year, I’m figuring out what to do with my NPO, I’m tired of being alone. I’m joining a friends company. I’ll figure a way to achieve the goals we set ourselves, by being with people rather than by myself.

      Oof, starting to feel that myself… Not good with co-working tho… It’s either I’m ahead, or out-pased… Any strategies on this?

        Not really. Hence why I’m joining another company. I’ll let you know what I discover.

        Being a Product Manager at a financial back-office software company, with a lot of legacy systems, is not very fun at this stage. It is uninspiring and I much preferred my job before I was promoted a couple of years ago, which involved working directly with development teams and not strategic planning.

        My projects are now long standing and tedious, and I’m not getting much recognition beyond my manager telling me how fantastic I am, whilst giving me unremarkable appraisal scores. He told me that I didn’t get a chance to “shine” because I was doing so much work he put on my plate… thanks boss, useful commentary.

    I’ve been jobless since I’ve graduated around September 2022. I don’t know, I’m tired, burnt out, my mental health is at it’s worst, and I have no money. My laptop is also broken, so yeah, I am totally fucked.

      Well, I won’t pretend that I know what your going through, but I will tell you this… You have the power to fix your laptop, and land your dream job; only if you want to.

    I had forgotten in 2023 that goals or any external gains are only temporary and not what is important to be happy. So I tried to reach a goal that I thought was causing me huge pain for not having reached it, but I was unable to because of many hindrances that honestly are not important to get into.

    Instead, I’ve understood again that you first have to be completely content and happy with everything you have now, and once that is achieved, everything becomes easy and pleasant again.

    Now I will pursue my goals in whatever way happens naturally, letting hindrances hinder me, making no progress sometimes, or maybe I do, who knows. It doesn’t really matter, since I’m already content.
