You don't have to quit everything to improve your career
Most career advice seems to fall into two camps.
" Stay grateful. Be patient. Work hard"
or:
"Quit your job. Start a business. Follow your passion"
I don't think either is particularly useful.
You can want more without blowing up the life you've already built.
The hard part is figuring out which move is actually right for you.
