[21:09] The 3 C’s Framework for Transitioning from W-2 to Entrepreneurship

To leave your job successfully, follow these three essential steps:

1. Clarity: Outline a clear vision for your future. Define what you want your life to look like, such as traveling with family for three months anywhere in the world. Assess if your current job aligns with your aspirations.

2. Confidence: Shift your identity towards where you're going, not just where you are. Embrace the new path you're forging. Remember that identity starts in the present, even before achieving your goals.

3. Community: Build a supportive network of like-minded individuals. Surround yourself with people who share your vision and aspirations. Seek out networking groups, mentorship programs, or communities in your field of interest for accountability and support.

Additionally, understand the value of your time. Ensure every hour is productive towards your goals. Consider hiring out non-productive tasks to free up time for your side hustle or business. Leverage your time effectively to focus on high-value activities.

By following this framework of clarity, confidence, community, and valuing your time, you can prepare yourself for a successful transition out of your job.
