10 deep questions I continue to think about: 👇 1. Did you choose to have a self-preservation instinct (which encourages survival)? Did you choose for sex to feel good (which encourages reproduction)? In other words, did you even choose the base rules of the game of life you are playing?

Quitting your career isn't always the clear and obvious choice. Here's something you probably didn't know about me👇 Late 2015: I was the Senior Manager of Brand Marketing for a global apparel company. My 2015 was spent working consistent 60-80+ hour weeks which led to an an existential crisis. What was I doing with my life? Was I really here to sell people more $40 jeans they didn't need?

Q: Is this an interesting way to determine online course value?

I've taken 3 courses and saved notes from each of them. After the course, I divided the course cost by the word count of my notes.

All the courses ended up between $0.08-0.12/word. Here's what I mean👇 Visualize Value courses by @jackbutcher:

💰 I paid $135 for Permissionless Apprentice, How to Visualize Value, & Build Once, Sell Twice.

✍️ I saved 1,650 words of notes.

📊$135 / 1650 = $0.08/word

I quit my career 4 years ago.

It was the easiest decision I've ever made. Here's why... I had an existential crisis in late 2015, but I continued to work another 2.5 years post-crisis.

Those years were brutal as I learned more about myself and life in general but still showed up day after day to a purposeless job (talk about cognitive dissonance!).

Here's what almost everyone seems to miss 👇 Simplified definitions:

Note-taking: taking notes in the author's words

Note-making: making notes in your own words
