Ainsley McElwee’s Reviews > Don't Keep Your Day Job: How to Turn Your Passion into Your Career > Status Update

So far so meh. Like initial motivation it and the stories of other people who didn’t “keep” their day jobs. From there it’s getting watered down and toxically positive. I am not sure how the balance is supposed to be found. I personally am designing lots to teach people embroidery, which is teaching people a skill, but the recommendation to sell courses is one that’s overdone; they feel like scams in 2026.
