The Escape the 9-5 Podcast
How do I escape my 9-5? Is making money online *actually* possible? Which money making opportunities work and which don’t? Do I have what it takes to start my own business? Can I truly make passive income? These are all great questions! Hey there! My name is Marissa Dahlin and I’m the host of the Escape the 9-5 podcast. After struggling to work a 9-5 job for a variety of reasons (full explanation in Episode #1, see ya there?), I started looking into ways to make money on my terms. I knew that there had to be a better way to make a living, which resulted in me spending 4 years and over $15k trying every make money online opportunity I could find. Because of this, I now know what works, what doesn’t, what to look out for and more. This is also why I decided to start the Escape the 9-5 podcast. I want to share my experiences, tips and tricks which you so that you can live a life where you get to spend your time your way. If that sounds like something you’d be interested in, tune in to Episode #1 and I’ll see ya there!
