@@Erika2 I was just thinking the other day about how much happier I am that I’m not upset about certain friendships. They can really drag you down mentally if you’re dealing with a difficult/complicated relationship.
@@mallorykitchens9522 Completely! Also I meant to say this to your earlier comment - but friends that try to drag you down and are happier when you're miserable are not friends.
@@Erika2 So true. When the pandemic hit I realized I’d have to hop on RUclips if I was going to surround myself with people I respected & admired. Just to be able to watch positive, productive people doing their thing is really motivating. So thank you for being one of those positive people for me.🙏
Thank you Erika! I started to realize that I make too many decisions on a day-to-day basis and not focusing on on the value of my time. I am going to start making some changes in my life.
Quick tip, if you add 0:00 into your timestamps and put the time at the beginning e.g. 0:00 introduction and 1:26 - Habit #1 and so on. It'll put the RUclips video into chapters for you.
Wow! I accidentally bump into this channel and I got to say this channel is underrated. Your video speaks the truth for many American workers! We trade our time to work so hard yet companies value so little. I recently started my own business after graduating from college and I am very happy with my decision. Please continue to inspire others! All hard-working families deserve better!
What a motivating vlog to watch. I am 55 years old, built a success career in sales for bosses but have not proven a successful business on my own. I started my RUclips channel 14 months ago and got monetized after 10 months. I know that there are more opportunities than AdSense revenue. That's why I ended up watching your vlog. Thank you Erika.
Your channel was not just built simply to get subscribers and get paid from your views. You really do help people and you are making a huge impact! Thank you!
I totally related to the first habit and I do the same thing in regards to my clothes for work. I have Monday clothes, Tuesday clothes, etc and it’s really simplified my life in the morning!!
I loved your point about the more frugal you have - the more freedom you have. It’s easier to do the next right thing when the goal is clearly defined : financial freedom.
For sure! I feel like so many people have misconceptions about being frugal and feeling a sense of 'lack', when it actually allows so much more freedom for the things you truly enjoy!
I didn’t really take up reading until a few years ago when I read that the average CEO reads about 60 books per year. The average American reads about 12 books per year (although I feel this number is quite high). There’s obviously certain habits these people follow to be where they are, and I think reading/continuing education in general is a big one.
It's important to distinguish between the level of a "need" and a "want". You NEED clothing, but it doesn't have to be brand name. You need a phone...it doesn't have to be an iphone 37 (or whatever they're up to now).
I've been watching your vids since yesterday (thanks RUclips algorithm for once, this has been useful). You're genuine, knowledgeable, self-assured and a force to be reckoned with. Thank you!

This was just what I needed to hear! This video has helped me realize I’m on a path forward not backwards. 🥺🙏🏽 I recently quite my job because I could not stand the constant negativity. I found myself never smiling and talk negative about my work and coworkers when I got home to my husband. Since I have quite, a feeling of relief, hope and happiness has come through. Im more energetic, I feel encouraged and unstoppable in just a short time. I will save this video and look back on it. Thank you !
And this is one of the reasons I enjoy watching you, My dad has always had his own business and three of the things I remember him telling me as a kid was don't pay somebody to do something you can do your self cheaper if you have to charge it then you can't afford it and you will never get rich working for somebody else. Now things have changed since then but I think the concepts are still the same. I said when you started your channel you were on your way, you could see that from a mile away. I am so happy for your success, it didn't take that long did it but of course that is because of you and the person you are. Thanks for taking us on the ride with you.
Wow great video Erika! I too believe in simplifying my life, including cooking healthy meals. By doing this I not only save money but also take care of my health 💚 Simplicity is the best policy, hands down 👍💕
I admire your ability to filter crap from what is real. Your "crap" was gold plated but u still managed to figure that its a crap. Doing all this while you are in your 30's makes u very special. You are going to make it big, externally and internally. Wishing u the best from India 🇮🇳
Very inspiring, thank you! I 'hang out' with inspirational people on RUclips, and you are now one! Thanks again - for your positivity and for sharing your wisdom.
Very well said especially the last one. Sometimes maybe we should just step out of our zone because if we don’t step out, we don’t know who we are going to meet
Wow I really enjoyed this video Erika. I love attire tip, I follow the same tips for weekly zoom calls. These habits are so adaptable if we try. Your channel topics are always so fresh. Thank you for this channel!!
Oh the cutting off some people who are no longer helpful for our next level of growth was tough. Having a partner who is also successful and earning 6-figure income is I definitely an inspiration. I now see the difference of why people succeed and some stayed the same. It is different for everyone. Change is hard at first but it’s necessary for real transformation to manifest in our reality. Thanks Erika for sharing your success story. I’m redefining my definition of success especially if you’re showing up everyday to create a life you love. Because. We can’t compare our beginning to someone’s middle of their journey. May we all be rich and wealthy beyond money 💰 which is also a great help while living in this world we live in. Knowing what you want and being happy where you are is success. ❤️
This was an amazing video, thank you so much for making it. I not only needed to hear it but it is so nice to hear others teaching and promoting the real principles of happiness and wealth.
I literally just thought this same thing about clothes last week. Like just get a few basics to wear already set outfits then i dont have to think about picking them out
Thank you Erika for this video. This really opened up my mind. Everything takes a risk in life. The more you learn, the more you earn. I've surrounded myself around people who inspire me and now I have a cool mentor that is guiding me. Take care Erika and thanks again.
I hang up my clothes for the week, on the weekend. M-F is lined up in my closet, so I just have to pull it out the morning off. No thinking required because the decision was made for the week on the weekend. I use to do it for a whole month, but got lazy along the way.
Thank you for being a shining light for humanity. Had forgotten about thatJim Rohn quote, thanks to you both for making me realize it is time to change my job! Love your work, it is well thought out & totally inspirational, thanks for all you do to help people reflect & move forward in life. 😊
I really like this episode… not that I have not heard these before but different speakers sometimes makes a difference. Question: who are the people you surround yourself with and how often to do meet/talk within them?
Just watched the tip one, so funny I been doing this for years. I went out and bought like 20 of the same shirt, no thinking always cuts down my morning decisions.
That exactly what I did cut anyonebfrom my life who didn't bring me happiness. So if I felt like a certain person brought negativity or put me in a bad space. And I am here to tell you it was the best thing I ever did. I dont want to be around someone just because they have to bring value to my life in some way.
I enjoyed your video and was inspired by your positive energy and message. I did not like your background music. I found it was hard to hear you completely with the competing background music. Your message is powerful. You do not need the background stuff. I admire your desire to change your life and what you did. Inspiring!
Can u make a video on your experience in your old job. It's interesting to me to hear how they changed their lifestyle when they earned more when you talked about that etc
Forgive me, I didn't even notice. CONGRATS on 100K!! I think you should treat yourself to a kobe dinner. Your business is far larger than this channel, though it's a great feeder. I remember back when you got 1k and knew it would only be a short time before you got here. You're now part the startup phase, the business is now created and will only get larger. Way to go. =)
Thank you so much Jeffry!!! I'm always so grateful for your support :) Great memories from when I was at 1000 subscribers and you would leave comments on every single video to help with engagement. It was so appreciated!
I’m a brand new subscriber and wow you have become my favorite channel!!! Thank you so much, I’m going to spend my time making you as my mentor keeping me on track to a better life!! Thank you! I love your channel.
You're right on - I'm too tired to cook when I have the time, so I get fast food, and then because I didn't cook I end up having to eat out the rest of the week until I find time again! Money down the drain!
Point number 5, the worst thing one can do is not listening to the mentor. Typically this happens when family says you are deluding yourself or are "ungrateful". Not following the mentor ultimately leads to resentment and narcissism. Of course if the mentor is suggesting a path which is illegal or sexually ambiguous, the family should be listened to first ;-)
I have a question. What if there's no one in your circles who is inspiring or positive or motivated to better themselves or situation ? Where do you find those people @ ?
I've migrated to tops that bring me joy(stealing phrase fromKondo). A funny example, I found a kind of ugly shaped sweater at Walmart but the yarn was neat. I bought one. Discovered that it was really soft after washing, bleach proof(I'm a Mom- lots of cleaning), warmer then my other ones and stains just don't stick. I bought 5 or 6 more. Thats my daily winter outfit now far as I can see. If there are more next winter I'll buy more to stock up, lol.
Another awesome video ERIKA. Thanks for sharing. I have learned so much from you. I really appreciate you. Keep the incredible content coming. Hope you have an awesome weekend. Much love.
I understand what you mean about over working and over loading life and missing out on precious moments in life, as I can relate to you situation, with your grandfather in hospital, why I am reducing my working days so I have more freedom in life to enjoy life magic moments, Have you either travel to New Zealand small country before.
I liked this video. I loved the tip of outsourcing tasks that aren't "worth your time" but then the frugal thing just threw me off. Because, sometimes it cost you time to be frugal. For instance, the time to cook meals instead of outsourcing and going out to eat; or like you said taking public transportation but it may save you time to just drive. I find it hard to be frugal and also outsource.
This is a great video, so many insightful ideas and original content. I think that sometimes it is okay to keep company with 'low performers', because YOU could be the one who inspires them, so you can be a mentor to others as well. It balances out, someone inspired you, and you can inspire others as well. Hope it makes sense. Keep going! :)
Thank you Erika! Cutting out friends was hard but once I realized they were happier when I was miserable..those aren’t really friends!
YES!!! I agree. I've had to do this just a few times in my life and it's always really hard but I feel so relieved and lighter afterwards.

Think and grow rich...
I am doing everything you said and watching every video you made. Erika, you are my inspiration.
Cutting out friends and people who had no ambitions in the early 2000s was what I did, I live a very successful life with no burdens
This is so inspiring✨Thank you Erika! I’m newly FIREd and exploring different paths to design my life on my own term. I’ll keep these tips in mind!😊

I just cried. Cried, and cried, and cried, and cried. And couldn't stop crying. Threw up nearly everyday. Anxiety, heart palpitations, more crying.
Being frugal really pays off. Thanks for the inspiring tips!
$15 to go out for dinner? I wish!!! More like $50! Great channel, thank you so much!!!
Applebee's, Denny's, daily specials at a local restaurant, take out from the grocery store. Then you can save $35 for the future.

This applies those that are single. For us that are married it's not possible to be frugal.
You have to do more planning with your significant other. Get on the same page. It’s doable.
All of this is much easier when you have dual high earners.
