Holy moley this was a GOOD video.
theres so many links you put in the description.
which one should i choose?
I struggle with my ambition. I think it's damaging to my happiness, but at the same time I'm afraid if I lose it I'll never get it back, and be giving up my dream life. I imagine others can relate.
I'm lost for words. This was one of the most insightful and counter-inspirational videos I've seen. You're just totally awesome!! "A simple life can be a good life", Love it. We truly need more people like you in this society
Yes, you are right. I love and make tradition food to show people.
Had to quit my high-paying, very stable job and a lot of people said I am crazy. There are days when I miss the perks of stability and bonuses. Took a whole lot of faith and courage to leave.
you accidentally left out the part of why u left and where youre at now
This video struck an emotional chord with me. I graduated from college in 2018 and now in a deadbeat job I hate with people I hate. The first year made me depressed and I would hate every morning waking up. Thankfully it has been much better working from home and recently I've began to take baby steps to make a side income from my hobby which is illustrations. I want to thank you for making this heartfelt video because there have been countless moments I felt like running away from work and everything. But this video puts it into perspective for me and reminds me there is no timeline for success and we should be grateful for what we have now. I hope we all make it and achieve what we want to achieve someday soon 🙏
Great with good story, I hope so one day I can do as you.
Haven't finished the video yet but this video production is FIRE bro!
Thanks Andrew for always pushing the boundaries of inspirational content
lol 100% agree.
an acquaintance jumped on the great resignation bandwagon.
6 months later the novelty and savings wore off and stressing trying to find a job.
this is one of the many realities of this choice no one talks about.
Very true. It makes you wonder how many of those that quit their stable jobs to be their own boss are currently struggling or facing the harsh reality of doing your own thing (without a steady paycheck to stay afloat)
Fantastic and truly gutsy. Thank you Andrew.
Great video Andrew. This is what was needed right now 👏💯
Great words Andrew, truely inspiring in so many ways
Brilliant video and even better message. Hope this goes viral for the sake of others.
I really appreciate you Andrew, I to quit my $150,000 / year job, and it is very scary, but what I know now is I am confident that I will be much happier making fraction of that but doing what I really like doing which is my very own thing; I have down sized and I am on a mission towards my goal, watching you validates that I am enroute towards my goals given the fact that I have contributed in making my former bosses multi-millionaires, again you have given me that extra confidence and boost contrary to the people I have surrounded myself which they thought I was insane. Thanks God there are people like you in this world as you have added to my mental wellness more than anything.
Incredible, honest video and message that needs to be heard. Now louder for the people in the back!
Whenever I feel guilty about not working harder or focusing on career goals I tell myself this "No one ever lies on their death bed and says "Gee I wish I worked more!"
Excellent, well-balanced post! I appreciate this! I'm balancing a family, full-time + job, and getting another 'business' up off the ground at the same time. It's not easy! Sometimes I really feel like quitting my job. But I'm learning a lot and it's also very fulfilling and rewarding. I have never cared about status or gaining a HUGE paycheck. My goals are to reach people and help change lives.
I really love the quote about juggling the rubber and glass balls. Its really true and 100% applicable to working for someone or self! Thanks again for a great video!
Thanks for sharing your own experience and views Justin!
Great video Andrew! I hope that it gets to lots of people on RUclips!
Thank you for this video Andrew. Another reminder as to why you’re my favourite E-commerce RUclipsr, I’ve always loved your raw insight with tons of substance on these topics. More videos like this please! Thank you for keeping things unbiased.
Really appreciate your support!
This is seriously the message we ALL need over the last 2 years. Well done for speaking up and supporting a counter culture movement. Liked and will share this video.
Yes, I think so. I love about great motivation.
Excellent video!
This video was spot on!!
EVERYONE talks about quitting your 9-5 or firing your boss, but no one talks about the daily pressure you feel as a business owner to remain profitable.
You can feel like a hamster on a wheel chasing clients, sales, or revenue too...lol
At least your not a slave to someone.
@@pickywolf2728 IMO…the slave master just changes. When you work for yourself you can become a slave to your business, your clients, customers, sales, etc.
Still running on the wheel chasing money; you just end up doing it differently.
thank you drew!
This was a very honest and helpful video 👍🏽
Awesome video Andrew. Love your work! I just launched my business 5 weeks ago and have been contemplating leaving my job, even though the steady paycheck is comfortable. Just finding it hard to balance full time work, working on my business, learning all the necessary skills to keep going with my business and most importantly, downtime with my friends and family. Thanks for your wise words😍
Best of luck! I hope my experience provided a useful insight.
Andrew thankyou for this eye-opening video. Well put together from start to finish. I think it's clear many people needed to hear some of your important points. Life is about showing gratitude with what we have and in the simple things in life, otherwise we will never be satisfied/content as it's human nature to always want more. Once again thanks for the content Andrew.
Absolutely Ali, the hedonic treadmill is a dangerous treadmill to be on!
Great video! This channel has definitely given me the best advice I can get in life.
Great info, great video
Good advise good story
I can listen to you all day. New subscriber.
Thank you for addressing these mistakes head-on. It's refreshing to see someone discussing the challenges teachers face when transitioning careers. Your video provides valuable guidance and encouragement. Keep up the excellent work!
Thanks for the positive feedback. I'm happy to know that this video was able to give valuable insights. Appreciate the support. 😊
Thank you so much for speaking up! Why can't society push for these types of values and fulfilment?! The world would be a better place.
I found this channel randomly; glad I stopped by! Great content! Will definitely recommend this channel!
Appreciate this!
Holy moley this was a GOOD video. How does this video not have more views
Great video, Andrew! Your insight and perspective is very helpful and true.
I appreciate that!
Thank you for sharing ! This inspired me
You are so welcome!
Very wise words, thank you
Thanks and appreciate you watching!
Clicked and liked as soon as I got the noti 🤙
" Dangerous freedom vs peaceful slavery" - a very memorable quote
Love this video wish more people would do honest and raw videos. For the sake of helping others instead of just making videos for clicks/likes
This video is pure Gold
The problem is as an employee you will always be trading your most value resource (time) for money. If you can stomach that then power to you. I’d much rather have time freedom, location freedom and making money while I sleep then be all comfy and cosy with a salary job.
True, but remember even when building a business you’ll still have to trade time for money. Like he said in the video, if you don’t have the capital to hire additional help then you’ll have to wear many hats. Which will require just as much time and energy as a 9-5 would...probably more.
The energy and time that it takes to build a business to the point where it gives you time freedom and passive income takes a lot of energy and sacrifice.
This is the part of the “entrepreneurship hype” that isn’t being spoken about in this “Fire Your Boss & Quit Your 9-5” trend.
It’s all about perspective!
Great video bro
Appreciate it!
What turned me off the office and corporate world?
People who constantly use the word “Synergy” and get smug about it!
& This is why I follow your advice in business and not Get rich fast gurus. Bravo.
The best thing about this pandemic is that it has given people time and space to focus on what's really important.
Corporate Breakout! Actually, I broke in. Went from an "essential" government job reporting to the office every day to a corporate WFH job with a vehicle to use for my site visits and inspections. I am building my productive workstation based on a lot of what I have seen in your videos. Thanks!!
Love that you shifted to bigger and better things, while levelling up your WFH space too!
I'm really grateful to work as a designer where I get to make my passion my job and have it pay the bills, but also to be able to make meaningful projects come to life from a bunch of scribbles.
Being an employee is fun because you get to work in a team environment and bounce ideas and get feedback from one another, even if sometimes that feedback is hard to hear. When running your own business, its incredibly frustrating having no idea where to go especially if you lack a mentor.
Plus, even as an employee there's nothing stopping me from pursuing my own interests and side hustles after work hours and thus, my itch to develop a business gets fulfilled.
That's so cool Ishika! What type of designer are you if I may ask??
@@jaydn4720 Haha thank you Jade! I work as a gamification designer helping people make their current learning platforms (websites and apps) more user friendly and fun to complete.
My day-to-day tasks resolve around making the images/animations that will be used to explain what these platforms could like to clients and also making the final images that'll be used for the site/games/apps/animations.
I'm really enjoying this kind of work because I get to make images that actually is used in the final product~
Thanks for being transparent and sharing Ishika!
Finally someone with some honesty. I want to quit my job. I've been doing it for almost 13 years now. No weekends or holidays off. Not able to see friends and family. Never worked on a day shift. I've made 100k a year since my mid 20s. But it has took everything from me. My family and friends, my physical and mental health, and all if my time because of the horrible schedule even though I don't work a minute over 40hrs a week. I feel trapped and get more depressed watching these youtubers spew bs success stories that completely contradict statistics.
What’s your job?
Great video, I love so much, my video just make traditional food to show other people. Thank you for sharing about great motivation.
My dream is the freedom of time.
Lol 5 get rich fast gurus disapproving the wholesome message in this video 🤣
I am a medical specialist with 20 years of experience working in a big hospital in western Europe- and don’t even come close to earning 115,000€ per year.
But a young senior digital marketing manager makes such a huge salary.
What a complete lack of adequacy and proportionality.
Yeah you made a bad move…now everyone with a 6 figures jobs are working from home. Imagine if you had waited for another year.
No cap
holy shit wtf. you can easily become financially free by working the same job for 2 years here in India.
CORPORATE BREAKOUT
So it worked out for you ? This video only makes me feel like quitting my office job even more
Can you give me your $115,000 Job ? 😭
Wow, mind blown 🤯. This isn’t a inspirational video. It’s a feel good video for everyone doing the daily grind of being an employee earning a PAYG pay check.
Dangerous freedom vs peaceful slavery.
What the hell is “spirit” exactly for an atheist?
$115k is ordinary money in Australia. I’m in Australia and my annual Christmas bonus is about that much, give it take a few grand.
^ Talk about not being humble, there are many in this world that would do anything to get even half that much
Bruh $115k is not “ordinary” money. Imagine bragging about $115k being ordinary especially during a pandemic…
I can't tell if you are being serious or just taking the piss. $115k is definitely not ordinary money for most of the population
115k is definitely above average considering the average is around 70-80k lol.
I know a mate in the tech space who gets 100K bonuses in a sales role but lmao this is the 1% exception not "ordinary money" and especially in Aus 😂
Thank you for your honest sharing. I decided not to quit my job.
Great video!
