In honor of my 100th video, I want to reflect back on this RUclips journey. I started RUclips a year and a half ago at an extremely slow pace, posting videos for about 9 months until I finally had 1 video that took the channel off. Shortly after seeing a potential in the channel, I decided to go all in and quit my job about 7 months ago. In this video, I reflect on this journey and share, "10 Life Lessons I've Learned Since Starting RUclips."
1. Never Stop Dreaming
The reason I originally started this channel was because I was unhappy with the direction my life was going and wanted the next great adventure in life. My job left me in this routine of doing similar things every day and due to having a high pay, I noticed that it scared me away from dreaming in life. I believe it is important to prioritize dreaming in your life and never stop dreaming no matter how old you get.
2. You Don’t Need To Know What You’re Doing, You Just Need To Start
Oftentimes, we think that before we do something we need to know everything about it; however, regardless of whatever you do, in the beginning, you are going to suck at it. When you first start something you lack experience and expertise; however, you should never let that prevent you from starting. It is important to just take the first step and you can learn as you go.
3. The Universe Is Conspiring In Your Favor, Even Though You May Not Understand How
Many people will give up early in the process of pursuing their dreams because they think that "it just wasn't meant to be." Whatever you choose to do in life, you need hope and faith to keep moving. You need to believe in yourself and your abilities despite all odds. And as you continue on your journey, if you work hard and put in the effort, the universe will eventually cut you some slack.
4. It Can’t Just Be About Money
Whatever you want to do in life, there has to be some reason other than money. If money is your only reason of being you will either quickly give up or will feel empty about the work you are doing. It is important to find enjoyment or meaning out of your work to help you push when times get tough.
5. An Overnight Success Never Happens Overnight
It took me 9 months and 30 videos until I finally had a video take off, and although the success may have seemed to be from a single video, the real reason came from what I learned in those previous 9 months. Even when something seems like an "overnight success" it is normally from a lot of effort that nobody sees.
6. The Biggest Risk In Life Is Not Taking One
In life, we often question things that are good for us like taking a chance to do something we are passionate about and think of everything that can go wrong; however, we don't question the risks of staying where we are. I believe that the biggest risk in life is not taking one and to push past the fear and give your dreams a shot.
7. Freedom Isn’t Going To Meet You Halfway, You Have To Chase It Everyday
There is often this glamorized image of quitting your job that the second you leave, thing will start changing; however, this is not true. In order to have freedom in your life, you have to actively chase it every day. Freedom is not definite, so you can not take it for granted. It is something you have to embrace as hard as you can for as long as you have it.
8. Success Isn’t Owned. It’s Rented, And Rent Is Due Everyday
I used to think that once you had success in life, things would start coming easier, but this is not true. Success is not definite. Once you have success in life, it does not mean that you're going to continue having success. Success is something you have to fight for every day or you will lose it.
9. Success Is Just Failure
Successful people are people who fail the most; however, instead of giving up, they learn from their failures and move forward. Most of the time when you pursue success, you are going to fail, but eventually after so much failing, you will have some success. And then success will go away because it isn't permanent.
10. Everyone Should Take A Chance At Least Once In Their Life
I took a chance with this channel to do something different and pursue something I am passionate about. This experience has changed me so much as a person and I continue to grow every day as I am constantly challenged. I believe that everyone should take a chance at least once in their lives to do something crazy!!

🎉🎉 congratulation. nice work 🎉🎉
Tem um bom dia de Portugal
to live off grid playing guitars...
Learning Japanese and saving enough to move to Japan when my kids leave home 🤞
Yess love this! It’s a process. I quit my job 2 weeks ago, tonight was my last shift in the kitchen pulling doubles every week. Now I’ll be running my catering business full time, I’m excited for this journey 🙏🏾✨
You're winning... God bless you
@@tr3xbaybay724 same to you🤩
I wish you all the luck in the world.
@@AdebiyiOyedele thank you same to you!
This is exactly what I needed to hear 20 minutes before I walk in to resign. This was my first video of yours and I'm going to subscribe.
Best of luck! It's scary, but life is boring without some level of risk and uncertainty. Even when things are extremely stressful for me, I think how boring my life would be if I played it safe!
@@ElAgustin So far so good! My boss initially was mortified. I told him I was leaving to freelance. A week later, they called me in and said they would like to use me as a freelancer! And said I was welcome to keep my office. Which means I can keep the parts of that job that I enjoyed but on my own schedule and with freedom!! I hated the 8:30 - 5 grind. I'm loving it! Thanks again for your encouraging video. 😊
I was a bank manager and quit to be a pet sitter. I don’t make as much money but have never been happier.
Nice😊😊😊
I currently work at a bank and I'm thinking about leaving..
I quit working at a bank too! 😂
That's super awesome love. I'd say 90% of the time your happiness and well-being is 1000x more important than money. Keep it up 💯💯💯💯💯
@@sheenawilliams9370SAME! 😭 the pay is good though not gonna lie
Hello all, I am a truck driver delivering bulk feed to chicken houses. Im sure that is your dream as well Lol. I also at one time wasn't happy with my job looking for an easy way out. One day I realized it was my negative mindset, seeing only the negative things. Now I'm excited to be part of the process to feed you all chicken. I bet most of you eat chicken right. I say all of this because we need people doing unpleasant jobs so we can be better as a society. Just figure out a way to make your work better and fun it is possible. Be a light in your work place, I did. God bless and remember im a truck driver not a writer 😊
Congratulations, Austin, on hitting 100 videos -- a timeless archive of wisdom expertly presented. Looking forward to the next 100!
Wow!!!! Thank you so much, you are so kind!
Hey that’s very generous of you. Congratulations. 👏
Austin we can't get enough of you!! You've been send by god for sure. Your so so enlighting you amaze us all. So so good for everyone at this time of life. Thank you. ❤
You have changed my life. I had no idea about frugality. I knew it a something more negative-tight which was a bad way to be. I get excited each day by not wasting money on unnecessary item. i have learnt to live with less rather then always wanting more. I am happy I can pass this onto my children so that they will have an easier life. I really appreciate what you are doing.
You are definitely helping people! Thanks for not giving up!
Congratulations 🎉 I have watched all 100 of your videos, thank you for sharing ❤️
Thanks! It's a lot of videos!
You are the most thoughtful RUclipsr I have come across! Thank you for working so hard to create this content ❤
🎉🎉 this is amazing video. I’ve been your subscriber when you’re at your 25k subscriber and that was only less than a year ago.
Thanks!!!
Keep on going until the end
until the end!
Your videos are amazing. Congratulations! May you go from success to success.
Congratulations El Augustin! Your channel is one of my top 3 favorites. Simple, no frills, and super inspiring. I’ve been rewatching all of your videos and your message in each one completely resonates with me. You are goals!
WHAT ARE YOUR OTHER TWO FAVORITES?
I owe this person the courage he gave me to keep working on my RUclips channel, which I started 2 months ago about self development and now have 68 subs and almost 50 hours watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so much lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place
CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎉❤
Having "FREEDOM" from a 9 to 5 is a HUGE SUCCESS in my book!!! #Bravo
Congratulations Austin. It’s a looooong journey and a never ending learning curve but it’s worth persisting.
Congrats Austin
Congrats, bro!

Agustin! I love your content and have been binge watching your videos. They bring so much value and hope to my life. You make us rethink they way we live and bring much needed positivity into this platform. Thank you so much for not giving up. Sending many blessings your way from sunny PR 🇵🇷

Wow, Austin! Congratulations! I love your content! My sister shared you with me, and I can’t wait to share you with my 30-year old son! Thank you for being you and for your honesty!
Keep going, Austin!!!
Even though from a RUclipsr perspective of entrepreneurship , this brings a lot of truth and light to the table in my own life. You have a calm voice and aren’t overbearing. These are probably the best life lessons and thank you for reinforcing how important it is to take the risks and chase freedom
Congratulations!
Profound wisdom shared. Thank you for the honesty and truth,Inspired!
Thank you Austin for taking a chance. Your channel is truly insightful and inspiring. You say things that we all think and feel, but don't often address. Great job, and keep up the wonderful work!
My first stop here was on your 100th video. Maybe the algorithm at its best. Anyway I will watch some of your others Based on what I have seen on this one. Very down to earth and friendly and humble. Nicely done.
Me gusto el video
Thank you Amigo

Congratulations on your journey so far. I'm not a spiritual man, so I think it's just coincidence that today was my last day at work. For the past years I have been developing my frugalism, and combined with a life event in the past year, I decided is was time to leave. My journey is starting, I don't know it will be anything like yours, but I hope it will be fun and rewarding. Wishing you good luck, and eep being an inspiration!
Good luck on your journey! Read "The Alchemist," I always turn to the book during big life changes..."listen to the omens."
@@ElAgustin Thanks, will do 👍🏻
@@ElAgustin I'm sorry to inform you but Paulo Coelho is a progressive sociopath who is very rejected in Brazil for his bad character and posture throughout his life. I thought I should say this.
And, he supports a convicted thief as president of a country whose election was won through fraud.
The leap of faith is a real thing. It’s crazy how once you leap the path appears. But it doesn’t appear unless you leap. That’s bc the leap is the most significant part of the journey. You FIRST must trust yourself.
Finding other creators that also left their jobs to pursue their goals inspires me and shows me what’s to come with my goals and my channel. I recently quit my job in August of 2023 because I could not handle how much it was breaking me down mentally. Following that experience I created my own channel to document me working to become a happier and healthier person through physical and mental health and wellness and none of that would be possible for me had I stayed on a job where I was under appreciated
I'm here to confirm that each and every one of your videos add VALUE !! Thank you and congratulations for 100 videos !
Amazing video, thank you ❤
Awww very inspirational video. Thank you for sharing.
to be honest, i hate working..
Awesome Austin Muchas gracias for the 100 videos..❤
Thank you Austin, I really needed to hear your story on RUclips .
Success is subjective. True success is being happy with whatever you’re doing in life!
Love your channel and your insights.
Your subscribers are growing🎉
Austin is not a failure he is a miracle! 😊
Your content has been helping me a LOT! Thank you for keeping it going 😊
Awesome! Thanks!
Loved this video and your presentation style ❤😊
Being one of the original 10, keep Watering your garden and watch it grow... congratulations!
Thanks!!! I think getting the first 10 subscribers was the most difficult part so far! Or better yet the first one because who subscribes to a channel with no subscribers?
❤🎉 Yes!! Believe in your purpose!
That was really good thanks Austin!
Felicidades, Agustín ❤!!
🎉🎉 CONGRATULATIONS AUSTIN 🎉🎉
Thanks, Toya!
The videos you do look effortless and it took a lot of hard work to get here!! You are a STAR this is a great video 🌟 Thanks Austin

@12:45 Great quote

I saw Shantaram behind you. Makes total sense !
Another great video!!!!
Congratulations on your 100th video, I’m glad I found you as I find you very inspirational, you should be very proud of yourself. I look forward to seeing your next 100.
Congratulations on your 100th video!!! You have helped me put things into perspective. Thank you! 🤗
This channel is very helpful!
Here for the 100 video - I was here 😊😊
I like you even more 2 minutes into your video. You really are a great teacher Austin!
Love that you took the risk! Keep it up.
Congratulations on your 100th video and the channel getting noticed by more viewers nowadays 🍾. Nice to see your sisters dog at last...or have i just been unobservant? Thank you for the wise words, singing and Spanish bits.
Listening to you talk about your journey is like reading Emerson ...Transcendental.
Love all your messages ! Very wise for someone so young ... keep them coming 🤗
Hey man, thank you for this video.
Austin, love your channel. Your open honesty is refreshing. I wish you nothing but growth and continued success. Cheers, bro.
Thanks, Ian!
Congratulations, Austin!
New subscriber!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, congratulations you're an inspiration.
Your videos are thoughtful and I enjoy watching you. You inspire others with refreshing ideas. Thank you for your hard work!!😊
I'm really proud of you, Austin! I saw you and your channel grow and it's really something to be proud of. I love the way you think, I see myself a lot in you. I am an English teacher here in Brazil and I teach remotely from home so I can fulfill my dreams, because I am a writer in my heart and I write novels and children's books as well. So I quit my golden handcuffs to pursuit my dreams and now I am the author of three children's books and one novel. I hope one day you can come to Brazil and feel this freedom again. I'm your number one fan.
Parabéns 🇧🇷
I got my CELTA teaching qualification last year. I’ve been too afraid to take the plunge and do anything with it. But last week I emailed a local ESL school and asked for a job and I start in two weeks! I have to fit my current boring stressful sales job alongside it for a while BUT the end game is I can quit my current job and be a teacher. All I ever wanted to do was teach but life got in the way. I just turned 40 and it’s really scary to make such a big change and take a 40% pay cut. But the high salary isn’t making me happy and if I spend nothing except on necessities, I can do it.
Your videos have helped and inspired me so thank you!!
Congratulations on your 100th video, Austin 🎉
Now I want pho.
Congratulations!
Felicidades Agustín. Jamás desistir, clave del éxito.
Congratulations Austin’s 🎉. Thank you for inspiring us to keep pushing when time keeps tough.
Love this ❤
Congratulation little brother Augustine,🌷👌😇💐
Congratulations...excellent content, very inspiring.
Congrats mate! I love your videos! Cheers from Brazil!
@austinWilliams12_ scammer
Thanks. It is very important video for me.
I'm starting today on doing my "something crazy". I'm so happy about it that I don't care about the 50% reduction in income. The freedom will be worth it.
