    51 Books While Working Full Time - How To Fund Your Dream

    Aaron Ryan has published 51 books, voices campaigns for UnitedHealthcare, Amazon, Uber, Microsoft and Cadillac, and has been self-employed since 2007. He also recently went back through his entire catalog and rewrote it by hand to match his convictions — knowing it would cost him readers. Aaron is a bestselling author, speaker and full-time voice actor, and this conversation is for anyone sitting in a job with something they want to build on the side. We get into how to leave a 9-to-5 without jumping off a cliff — his "look for the X" framework — and why the day job that funds the dream isn't a failure. The moment a boss accused him of something he didn't do and changed how he saw job security forever. Why every job he ever held was training for self-employment. How having his hours cut turned out to be the opening he needed. Then the harder stuff: running a business on Christian conviction, putting "Christian author" on his website knowing exactly what it would cost, keeping a "Leave work at work" sign on the door when you're your own boss, and what it actually takes to write a six-book saga.
