exodus

1. why?

   1. the current place I work in is not suitable for my beliefs and principles

2. why not?

   1. I earn good money

      1. When compared to the work I "actually" do

   2. I have freedom

      1. to pursue any non-work activity

   3. I do the work I like

3. so?

   1. I should find a means to break this cycle

   2. but I have risks

      1. trapping myself into a cubicle is not an option

      2. I need to sustain a living

      3. I should have freedom

         1. to do what I like

         2. earn good money out of my efforts

   3. move one step at a time

      1. step by step

      2. plan each step thoroughly

      3. don't hurry

         1. be realistic

         2. be decisive

         3. don't jump right in

            1. think thrice

4. what's the way out of this "dead end"?

   1. create time to focus on my "dream" projects.

      1. work as much as you can in your free time

         1. free office time

         2. free non-work time

            1. nights

            2. weekends

   2. networking

      1. using the network "without" founding a company of some sort is "underutilization"

      2. I do have a large network

         1. though some of my contacts are stale

            1. I have to regroup them

            2. I have to recntact them

      3. it's essential

   3. find, create, generate money

      1. through

         1. through doing your own business

      2. amount?

         1. around twice your monthly income

            1. so, you can spare part of it for emergency situations

      3. why?

         1. for yourself

         2. for your future

         3. to finance your dream project

            1. so that you will not give lion's share to a VC.
