Episode #776: Choose Your Hard: Agency Burnout or Building Your Practice

On today's Ask Abundance, Rebecca Smith (Limitless Practice grad) & I get into something I see people struggle with constantly: knowing whether you're actually ready to leave your agency job, or just desperate to escape it. This week's question: "I've been at my agency job for four years & I can't tell if I'm staying because it's smart or because I'm scared to leave."

Emotional readiness & financial readiness are two totally different conversations, & waiting to feel ready is how people stay stuck for years. We talk through choosing your hard, what real financial preparedness looks like in 2026, & why building on the side, even though it's more than full time work, is still the smartest path for most people.
