I'm quitting my job and moving to Mexico

Yooo,

It’s been a while!

As a way of apology, stick around to the end for a little (big) present.

Sorry to have kept you for so long it’s been a crazy few weeks.

I hit 1k Twitter followers

I made my first digital money.

I broke up with my girlfriend of 4 years.

I crashed my car.

Yep …

It’s been a wild ride.

Anywayyyy I’ve been thinking.

A lot of you don’t know much about me at all.

And that needs to change.

So today I want to share with you my story.

So buckle up, and let’s get into it …

I’m quitting my job and moving to Mexico.

It's 3pm. I'm sat on a beach with a beer in my hand.

Not a care in the world.

Life's good.

But the sound of thunder snaps me back to reality.

The daydream was over.

The rain was lashing against the window and I was back at my desk, in a sad, grey office staring blankly at my computer.

It was March 2023, and it had been nearly 2 years since I started my dream job.

But I was on the verge of giving up.

Every day was the same.

Spreadsheets on one screen, emails on another, and a boss who wouldn't leave me alone.

On this particular day I was listening to a training video. A grey-haired, old man was banging on about tax quality and how important it is to the success of the business.

As I was staring out the window looking at a sea of concrete and glass I had one thought racing through my brain.

How the fuck did I end up here?

I had done everything society said would make me successful.

I went to the best school in the country and a top university. I was working at one of the most prestigious companies in the world and was earning decent money.

I had been preparing my whole life for this.

Everyone always told me, get good grades, get a good job, work really hard and you'll be happy.

But something just didn’t feel right.

Surely this wouldn’t be my life for the next 40 years?

I felt so lost. I was angry, upset, confused. I couldn't think straight and I don't even remember walking home from the office.

It felt like my whole life had been a lie.

I used to be an energetic, sociable guy.

This miserable job had turned me into a boring and tired shell of a man. When I got home, I sat on my bed, and opened Twitter.

And I had no idea my life was about to change. 

By some miracle, I came across this guy who was earning $20k/month on Twitter.

And I was instantly hooked. From his bedroom in India, he was earning more than my whole family combined.

I immediately bought his Twitter growth guide and read through it with so much excitement.

I can’t lie, it was a terrible course. A massive waste of $80.

But it gave me something way more valuable,

My Twitter journey.

I started off tweeting about time management and productivity, And I hated it.

I hated waking up and feeling like I needed to grind out 30 comments, and 3 tweets about productivity.

And it showed. My content sucked, I was growing SO slowly and I made no friends.

After 2 months I had 44 followers and I was ready to give up.

But I did something that changed my perspective on life, I went to Egypt.

I spent 2 weeks backpacking down the River Nile. I saw the pyramids, the mummies, the massive temples, you name it. And it was fucking awesome.

I fell in love with the country, but the awe-inspiring ancient egyptian monuments weren’t the things that shocked me the most.

It was a thing this little ginger Scottish guy called Cam taught me.

He showed me what true freedom was.

Cam had been travelling the world for 18 months. And was making $100,000 from his laptop.

I couldn’t believe it. I had no idea this was possible.

I was taught that you go to school, go to uni, get a good job, and then work your ass off for 40 years. Only then could you stop and enjoy your life.

But here, sat in front of me, was this 27 year old guy, earning a crazy amount, and travelling the world.

Cam changed my life. If he could do it, why can’t I?

When I got back to London, I had a new goal.

I want to quit my job, move to Mexico in 2024, and embark on my own round-the-world adventure.

I had a year to change my life.

And Twitter became my way to achieve that dream.

The fire inside me was lit, and somehow I knew Twitter would get me there.

I re-branded myself, I didn’t want to post boring shit and get sick of Twitter again so I just started to have fun with it.

I started to be myself.

One day in May, I came across this account Sebastian Rozga.

He was killing it. Using his threads, tweets and newsletter I was able to grow my following from 44 - 250 in just 2 weeks.

I felt like a new man!

With a newfound energy inside me, I began enjoying being on Twitter for first time. I met a load of cool people, I was posting stuff I actually found enjoyable and I was having a lot more success.

All of this was topped off by having people reach out to me asking for advice, I was so happy.

If I could help people the way Seb had help me - I’d be a very happy man!

It wasn’t long before I landed my first client.

And when he went from 0-200 followers in 10 days using my methods - I realized I can actually do this.

There is no reason I can’t fly off to Mexico to begin my own round-the-world adventure.

With the help of my 3 mentors I will be quitting my job and heading off to Mexico in 2024.

It not about the money or the followers.

It's about being free.

It’s about living life the way I want to live it and not how society tells me I should.

3 months ago I was stuck. But Twitter has given me a way out.

A way to live my dream life. And it can give you the same.

The life you dream of might be just a tweet away.

Speak soon,

Chris
