2.5 years ago I decided to quit the rat race and I left my career in big tech to go work for myself, on my own terms.

Fast forward to today, I make and sell educational info products, do some contracting (working quarter-time at Gumroad), run a SaaS business, and at the end of this month, I also plan to get into selling physical products.I made $550K+ in revenue since I started working for myself, with over $400K coming from info products.
