🚨 It was 7:27 AM and I was supposed to be at work in 42 minutes. Instead, I called in sick. Not flu-sick ... DONE-sick.

After 18 years as a classroom teacher, I finally had my breaking point moment. This is the raw, unfiltered story of the morning I knew I could never go back to the 9-5 grind.

My accountant hit me with news that changed everything: "You made more from YouTube than teaching this month." But even then, I was scared to make the leap. What would my coworkers think? What if I failed?

Then my friend Corey said something that stopped me cold: "Your problem isn't that you're tired from work. It's that you're exhausted from not doing what you're supposed to be doing."

If you've ever felt that nagging voice telling you there's something more out there, this story is for you. Sometimes the scariest leap is the one that leads you home to yourself.
