‘ANTI-workaholic’ details how you can QUIT your ‘soul-sucking’ 9 to 5 job and bring home a ‘seven-figure’ salary while doing ‘very little’ work

An anti-workaholic has revealed how you can ditch office life and do ‘very little work’ while still taking home a ‘seven figure’ salary.

Laura Anderson is a Florida-based digital marketing consultant who has amassed more than 463,000 TikTok followers by sharing tips on how to make money while barely working and advising people to take advantage of the “Chat GPT gold rush.”

While speaking to DailyMail.com recently, the 34-year-old described the skills that would help you leave your desk job behind for good.

Laura revealed how changing your mindset can help you become financially free without being tied to an office job.

Laura explained that the new digital age could help many people leave the corporate world behind and learn a new skill that would help them make more money.

The consultant told DailyMail.com: ‘Luckily we live in the digital age where you can learn almost anything online, which for me personally has removed the barrier to learning anything. You don’t need a degree when internet free education is literally at your fingertips.

‘A degree seems almost criminal at this point when you have to go into mountains of debt to learn something that can already be learned online, and then it doesn’t even guarantee you a job, especially when companies now value experience more than a degree.

‘The digital age has also eliminated the need for a nine-to-five structure – the majority of jobs can be done easily from a computer, and this became particularly apparent during the pandemic – people could continue to work from home without an appointment to skip. defeat.’

Laura has been trying to wean everyone away from the ‘soul-sucking’ nine-to-five lifestyle so that they too can do ‘very little’ work and bring in the money at the same time.

She explained that she wanted to quit her desk job because she noticed she had very little free time.

‘For me, there is nothing as sad as the 9 to 5 lifestyle. Having to be somewhere five days a week and knowing that if it’s a nice day out, I can’t get out and enjoy it, I have to go to the office, is heartbreaking,” Laura said.

‘To have to use the lunch breaks to go to the doctor, or to run an errand because I have no other time to do so, is simply not a satisfying life in my opinion. And I believe we’ve been told the lie that you have to get a degree and work nine to five to be successful. You can learn a digital trade/skill, market yourself, book clients and work for yourself.”

Speaking to DailyMail.com, she revealed the skills you can learn online to escape your desk job.

‘The internet offers unlimited information and you can learn any digital subject. There are so many digital professions that people already have and do for their current job that they don’t even realize they could do it themselves,” Laura said.

‘Some great digital trades you can learn are media buying, SEO, copywriting, graphic design, coding, social media management and UX design.’

Laura recommended immersing yourself in learning a new skill by taking a course, reading up on the subject, and watching YouTube videos.

The expert also advised positioning yourself as an expert because “now that you’ve learned the skill, you can become the go-to person in that skill by marketing yourself and creating a foundation.”

Her third tip is booking clients, which she called “the hardest part.”

Luckily, Laura said, “There are so many contract opportunities for these skills at places like Upwork, LinkedIn, and Indeed.”

She explained that the biggest drawback to the corporate style was the lack of “work-life balance.”

She noted that once you left your desk job behind, you could use AI to your advantage and soon be living the life you always dreamed of.

“When you leave that environment, all you have to do is work how much time it takes to get the job done,” Laura told DailyMail.com.

“Plus, with AI technology, it has never been easier to work smarter, not harder, and do twice the work in half the time.

‘Getting out of a nine-to-five also solves the wage cap. When you work for yourself, you can take on as much or as little work as you want, meaning there are no limits to the earning potential.”

Although Laura noted that there was no way to make work “100 percent passive,” there were things you could do that required little effort and still accumulate wealth.

Laura, who calls herself ‘the queen of outsourcing’, now manages to earn over six figures every month from media buying, running ads for clients on social media platforms.

However, she hires people to perform these tasks, which allows her to take on more clients.

‘So get a digital skill, book clients and pay someone else to do the work. And deploy AI automation systems to streamline the whole thing,” she said.

Finally, Laura said that you need to change your mindset to free yourself from the constraints of a nine-to-five job.

‘Mindset plays a major role. When you know it’s available and that an office job isn’t your only option, you can really make big changes and make things happen. But some really useful changes would be spending one to two hours every day learning something that takes you out of your nine to five,” she told DailyMail.com.

The anti-workaholic also says that if you stay consistent, your life will change forever in six months.
