Escaping the 9-5: My Road to ProBlogging

[Image via PhotoDune.]

My road to become a professional blogger wasn’t one that showcased exemplary courage or that necessarily required a colossal leap of faith – it was rather a fairly slow and methodical pace where I carefully calculated the risks and rewards, all of the financial considerations possible, and the work-life balance that would seriously change.

Sure, the story is a bit less dramatic and not as exciting as you perhaps would like to hear but I would hope that it’s much more realistic and manageable, especially for many of you who have hopes of one day taking a step down this path!

In any case I want to start sharing more of my thoughts, experiences, and tips on how I ultimately made the decision to jump out of corporate america and the life of a cube-dweller and pass those onto you so you can better apply them in your own context and situation.

In other words, I want to share with you how I escaped the 9-5 to start my journey down the road to ProBlogging.

Like any of the other series this post will be act as the Table of Contents as I build the blog posts out. I’ve posted a few already that I’ve published in the past that will give some more context for where I want to head with the series and I have already six or seven of them already drafted but they still need a round of editing (or two) to be ready.

I’m quite excited about this particular series as I think it’ll bring a realistic perspective of what it might take to join me in the land of probloggers!
