Tina quits her day job

After six years in the tech industry, Tina Su found the more money she made, the less satisfied she became. So she quit her job and appointed herself Chief Happiness Officer of her own life. She had three goals: to complete a triathlon, to learn French, and to live every day fully. Her website thinksimplenow.com was born of her enthusiasm to share the daily joys she discovered in being master of her time. She blogs about passive income, the four-hour workweek lifestyle, and empowering mindsets. While the audience was originally intended to be family and friends, that circle now includes people in 197 countries, 9,000 subscribers, and 200,000 online visitors a month.
