TWP 004 - Escaping the 9 to 5 - The Basics You Need To Know

The Wandering Pro | Career Podcast By SK NEXUS

Understanding what a 9 to 5 is important, if you're looking to escape it. As with most issues, in Pakistan - basics are not taught well, and I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce to you, the listener, to:
- What a 9 to 5 needs to be
- What a 5 to 9 needs to be
- How do you leverage your efforts in the right way
- What is the roadmap for someone looking to scale in the long run
