Well, hello there, dearest reader. Welcome to my digital corner of the interwebs. I’m an author and a writer in my spare time. The rest of the time, I juggle my stay-at-home dad duties.

Ever since leaving my full-time job in 2017, I’ve spent every day as an opportunity to explore how I can become a better human — 8 years in and I still haven’t cracked it.

Since 2020, I’ve taken a brief blogging hiatus, choosing instead to work on a few projects in the background. Currently, I am working/running two sites with my friend and business partner, Kyle: WriterGadgets.com and SocialShmedia.com.

However, if you want to read some of my past work, my most popular articles to date are How I Paid Off $14,383.15 of Credit Card Debt in 366 Days, This 104-Year-old Former Girl Scout Leader Gives the Best Career Advice, Is it Possible For a “Normal Person” to Escape the Rat Race?, and How to Make ‘Quitting’ Your Next Superpower. I can’t promise to still stand by any of the advice I’ve given — I was young and naive at the time of writing.

You can also check out my frequently updated Reading List of books I’ve recently devoured.

If you’re curious about learning how to quit your job and do what I do, I highly recommend taking my free 10-day guide to your 5-to-9 email course, where I teach you how to build a profitable side business outside of your traditional 9-to-5.

Beyond writing online, I spend the rest of my time with my three kids, playing soccer, watching British television shows, doodling, hanging with my wife, traveling, learning French, or watercoloring.

I am working on my first novel and a few short stories that I hope to publish soon.

You can find me on Instagram (but I hardly use social media anymore) or connect with me via email, declan {at} declanwilson {dot} co (yes, it’s ‘co’ not ‘com’).

Thanks,

Declan
