📸 Why I Quit My 9-5 To Create Content

About 13 months ago I started my Instagram account, sharing what I learned about making content using AI.

If you had told be back then, that 13 months later I would receive payments like this one 👇 for posting 40 second videos on social media, I wouldn’t have believed you for a second.

But here I am, living proof that leveraging AI and social media can completely transform your life.

When I started this journey, it wasn’t because I had it all figured out—it was because I was desperate for change. Desperate to get out of the 9-5 grind.

The truth is, I didn’t thrive in a traditional work environment, and I knew deep down that I wasn’t meant to follow someone else’s script for my life.

So, I turned to what I did have: a spark of curiosity about AI, a phone, and a willingness to put myself out there, even if I had no idea where it would lead.

Starting my Instagram account felt like a small, almost insignificant step at the time, but it was the beginning of a journey that changed everything.

This didn’t happen overnight.

I had to show up for myself and my dream every single day. And so I did—through exhaustion, self-doubt, and even moments where I lacked motivation. I kept going, learning from my mistakes, and using AI tools to streamline my process and make the work easier.

If you’re sitting there thinking, “Could this be me?” my answer is YES. You don’t need to know everything to start. You just need to take the first step and trust that progress will follow.
