At what point did you finally, say 'screw it' (for lack of a better term) and go full bore to knock everything out. Was there a point when you said it's now or never? And if there was that point, what brought you to that? Age, desire, current job, etc.......? |
Mine was sorta easy - I had a predetermined time line (my ETS date), but I could have (and almost did) stayed in longer.
Since the timeline method worked well for me, maybe others could try and give it a shot.
Pick a date, and stick with it. Try your butt off to save money, get ratings, build time, but no matter what, stick to the date!! Once the date comes, quit your job.
There will ALWAYS be excuses! Money, family, benefits, etc, etc. Whatever. If you really want to affect a a change in your life, just do it.
No, seriously, just do it.
Wanna see a good example of how it can be done? Check out EastbayK's husband. (I don't think he posts.) Less than 2 years ago he was no where near being a professional pilot, today he flies for XJET.
