There's a new documentary that just came out today about writing a book in a month. I think you'll really enjoy it, but first…

There’s a notion that if you’re “really serious,” you’ll quit your day job and give your passion a chance.

That works for some people, but so does the lottery. It’s not a winning strategy.

You want something more sensible—something that doesn’t involve crazy amounts of risk (and the high likelihood you’ll kill your passion for good if things don’t pan out).

We all know people who quit their job to pursue their passion only to end up hating what they do.

Or worse: they had to go back to the day job and, because they felt like a failure, they never got up the courage to try again.

You're looking for something more practical: a systematic plan and logical steps for making a living from what you love.

That's what the concept of "Overlap" is all about.

When you overlap, you don’t immediately quit your day job. You use the day job as a financial foundation to support your pursuit of something else.

This does something incredible.

Rather than feel immediate financial pressure, you are free to explore, do, and try.

This exploratory phase is critical. It prevents burnout and helps you avoid killing your passion, which often happens when you’re desperate for money.

It can feel like you're all alone in this. Your friends and family don't understand the struggles you're going through.

But you're not alone.

Watch this new documentary that Sean McCabe just released today about this—it's called (big surprise!): Overlap.
