I've been passionate about selling cars since before I even started college. Back then, I was selling one car every 1 to 3 months—not because I had to, but because I enjoyed it. It was more of a hobby while I focused on becoming an engineer and building a career in that field.

After graduating, I put car selling on hold to pursue an engineering job and devote all my time to it. I don’t like calling my job a typical “8-to-5” because, with the morning preparation and evening traffic, my 8-hour workday felt more like an 11-hour grind.

Two years into the job, I had a realization: I was making half the money I used to earn selling cars, while spending 65 hours a week away from my family. What hit me the hardest wasn’t just the lower income—it was losing my freedom. That’s when I decided to quit and reclaim my time.

​If I could make twice as much working only 16 hours a week doing something I enjoyed, then I was already winning—and you can, too. The key is to get started now. I can almost guarantee that you’ll have the same regret I did: “Why didn’t I do this sooner?”
