Juji we gotta get more down to earth content like this. You’re crazy smart and this was a great watch.
Thank you my friend!
This is what drew me to Juji like 10 years ago. Normal peeps content down to earth, I mean other than the great hilarious pop-up subtitles and of course being an Acrobolix!
I don't have a job and I also don't make money, what should I do?
I really like that he added middle ground option. That’s why I’ve stayed at my job for 22 years, it’s tolerable and I have enough time to do the things I enjoy. If you’re gonna go all in and make a hobby a job you gotta be really gifted at it or obsessed with it. So like Enjoying isn’t enough. Anyways great advice by Juji.
22 year crew represent! I've been at my job since Feb 2000 and am at a place now where I can work from home and dabble in my newfound passion: Cryptocurrency. Been learning every day for about 8 months and am completely obsessed, but will definitely hold onto my day job...unless, of course, one of my investments goes to the moon lol.
@@regal1lager hope it does go to the moon sir!
Thank you Lord Deathsplit! I appreciate that. Respect for you having that wisdom. You're a success my friend.
@@jujimufu thanks Juji! Means a lot coming from you.
Perfect timing as always. Needed this advice like you wouldn't believe.
It's always nice to see the blueprint of how a successful person got to where they are today and it means to world to hear their advice
I see you’re on the monster garou hype train as well, kyoudai
New icon, I see...
Come a long way from kicking flamingos my dude. Congrats on the continued success!
Kicking flamingos sounds like it should mean some other than literally.
@@alimackerali9259 And that's the best part about it
Now he kicks asses
Remember the flamingos thing..how many years ago was that??
Thanks Juji! I needed this.
The man is sitting in his dream gym and trying to teach us how to do the same. Props Juji, nothing but respect.
Kudos to Juji for giving the correct message of prioritizing your sleep needs. Our sleep / wake cycles are all different and it's important to optimize for what our bodies need. Although it may seem counter-produtive, getting high-quality restful sleep is one of the best things we can do for ourselves.
"No matter what you do, you are not going to like it all the time" Great way to word this. I am self employed, a few years longer than you and have a very similar situation as you in terms of how I started out, burned out w/ the crazy hours and am finally at the "enjoyment" phase where I get it and understand how to manage all the responsibility. Great video, thanks for putting this together!
Step 6 is definitely the most important one. The scariest thing with letting go of your day job is that secured income, crunching the numbers and having a solid understanding of how things are going is key for having that confidence in yourself and your vision. Still haven't done it myself but I already do this and feel good knowing that if I ever wanted to (I really enjoy my day job haha) I can walk away and still keep myself covered.
It’s like retiring. You plan for it all your working life, and when it happens you get both a sense of relief but also a feeling of guilt. You have a hard time letting go.
Trying to be a Super Saiyan yourself, huh ? :D
To be honest, I LOVED him kicking flamingos and just don't really caring. :-)
Awesome video, totally agree on all this!
Amen. Ignore all the grinding business advice gurus, this video is all the real life experience you need.
Thats a beautiful video, you really talked about things i was experiencing and thinking of and keep questioning myself about. Thank you.
Its nice to know I'm not alone in my own head, thank you Juji
An honest video 😎 This was encouraging
This is great information. Thank you for sharing your story and what works for you!
Awesome video Juji. I have a day job and 2 businesses on the side. I may hit step 6 at some point, we’ll see. But all your advice, I think is dead on and parallels my experience. Unfortunately most of the entrepreneurial advice out there on the web and in books is like a picture of an instagram model. Taken in favorable light, using a filter, and totally photoshopped. I would add that networking with other business owners in my field (biotech) helped way more than anything else in getting where I am today.
Thanks for sharing NY Guy! I was in Biotech for 7 years, that was the day job I quit! I was in industry, we made liquid dispensing equipment for life science companies (microplate washers, readers etc). Very cool you have 2 businesses on the side too, you should be proud of yourself!
Everyone's situation and experience is different, but hearing someone make their passion into a living is inspiring. A simple method, but not easy!
i totally agree, its a work life balance that isnt talked about much either which just adds to the confusing stress of the new lifestyle
@@jamescanjuggle I just told my student to create their new weekly schedule. This was to help them to work on content and ways to earn when not passively generating clients.
It’s something I didn’t consider when I went “full time” as an entrepreneur: You’re responsible for EVERYTHING!
-sleep schedule
-work schedule
-what work to do
-putting out fires
-customer service
-mistakes
-packaging
-marketing
-promoting
-advertising
-sustaining business
-scaling business
-branching business out
-your mental health
-your physical health
-your emotional health
-etc
That said, I’m happy to be living out a childhood dream even when, as Juji says, I don’t always enjoy it.
That’s why, at the end of the day, I won’t consult or mentor anyone unless I know that they’re as passionately dedicated about turning their dream into a career as I was.
So, to you (and whomever else ends up reading this), I hope you find your passion and manage to make out of it what you ultimately desire. Have a fruitful 2022 🙂
I finished a business course before starting my sports science course this year so thos actually fits into both of my passions xD
Very good and true information! And to parents of children and adolescents, you can do this, too!
As a longtime watcher and fan, I think this might be the best video you've done. All of the content was incredibly well-stated, useful and delivered in a way that I think will resonate with pretty much everyone who watches it. Also, really nice to see a recipe for success that is realistic, well-balanced and not 100 percent pie-in-the-sky optimism. Just plain awesome!
Thanks Jason! I really appreciate this. Means a lot to me, and says a lot about you that you took time out of your day to write this thoughtful, kind comment. Thank you!
You have no clue how on time this is for me!!!! Ty I appreciate,respect an look up to you a lot 🤘🏾
Juji, been subbed for year, thank you! I am a full time real estate investor and real estate agent and going through the exact same scheduling issues you did previously! to be able to see you accomplish so much over time know you struggled the same way is awesome!
Thank you Spencer and congrats! Sounds like an exciting and rewarding time in your life!
@@jujimufu Meant to say YEARS in my post, but thanks!
This is an amazing video. I'm glad you made it, the world will benefit from your wisdom. You probably don't know me but I followed a near identical path.
I remember when I quit my day job my boss told me, "You're going to rise to a higher level than any of us." (my IT department)
I didn't see what he did. However, it turned out to be a really good decision. Like you, I worked really hard and had to learn to manage myself without somebody managing me. BTW, as a fellow content creator, great video, pacing, speaking, lighting, and audio. Just terrific.
Finally, you might consider hiring an editor. I get it, editing is a little like masturbation and only you really know how to do it perfectly. Still, you might be surprised. There are people out there that eat editing for lunch and will be worth the investment. That time savings will free you up for something else or just bring you happiness.
Edit: Your description says you have an editor so the part about editing last night leaves me a bit confused. The rest of my comment stands. :)
Hi Woody! How's it going!? And thank you for the compliment on the filming and editing, means a lot coming from a fellow creator! I do have an editior, Brian, he edits +90% of everything here. There are still some things I edit myself though, because I have to dig out and find the archival footage only I have, or there are certain edit styles I cannot communicate to him for certain sequences (I just have to play with it for a bit, kind of like sketching something). But I really do appreciate you taking the time to stop by and make this comment, it's important for people to understand their relationship with work and play better imo, even if they don't go on to becoming self employed, there is a lot of room for empowerment that people leave untapped in their own lives. :-)
Woody, Juji was on PKA...
@@TLSUNKNOWN lmfao. kind of embarrassing
@@ZuluJomama lmao to be fair I’m sure woody doesn’t remember every single guest they’ve had
I can’t thank you enough for this video, im not an entrepreneur or starting a business but picking a career in life being a junior in college has been difficult and I have had some of these thoughts about not loving what I do 100% of the time but i do love it a lot of the time so thank you so much for saying that that is perfectly normal and okay, it helps me a lot. Thank you
Great video, and really relevant for me today! I just spent the last 3+ hours with my partner mapping out how to progress in my journey as an artist/musician in the music industry to the point where I'm feeling financially abundant. You're an inspiration! Much love
I have been a self-employed circus artist and teacher for the past 15 years. This video is absolutely spot-on, and delivered with the kind of straightforward simplicity that only Juji possess. This is an excellent video and should be watched by _anybody_ who wants to pursue self-employment, no matter the field.
Thank you Fabio! And congratulations making a living as a circus artist and teacher. Much respect for your line of work, circus isn't easy...
Love how you literally ran out of your job to do the thing you love. 🥰
Man I know your Dad is SO Proud!!!! Congrats on all your success and for all the People you have and will inspire. You make a difference!
My dad is the best. He never pressured me to do anything as a kid, but always supported me if I wanted to try something. I don't know how he did it. How could he just let me play video games in my bedroom for years on end and not feel worried that I wasn't doing more? If I was a parent I might be concerned. But it was really the best thing he could've done to raise me, was just to give me that freedom to do nothing, but support me if I wanted to do something. Amazing parenting in retrospect.
So cool. I left my bricklayer labour job to personal train 17 years ago. Love love love it. Only if I I have a 3 AM client which is not often at all I’ll wake up for that. days I have off I sleep in and I work out whenever I feel like it at the best time every day :-)
I LOVE how you used the power rack band bench as the video while mentioning "healthy stable work environment"
Very clever b-roll addition on the part of Brian haha. ;-)
❤ loving your honesty, clarity, and sincerity. Thank you for sharing 🙏
Hey, there are lots of people making money selling fitness advise that suck at it. You're actually one of the few people who are good at it.
This is super encouraging. I like what you said about what ever you're going to do, you're not going to like it at times. I just transitioned to gig work / food delivery after getting laid off at the restaurant I was working at. I've been a server bartender for 15 years and this was the opportunity to get out of that industry to try something else. terrifying and really freeing at the same time. and now I can play more video games! haaaa. keep being awesome Juji!
I just realized, I used to read your stretching tutorials on tricks tutorials, you've come such a long way amazing
Great to see the update and re-make in a sense of the last video on the topic. I am glad not much changed since then, it means the formula works well for you.
Flow, pomodoros, bullet journaling, perfectionism cost benefit analysis. Turns out Juji is a fellow productivity god! No wonder you were the person that got me into fitness, you've been subconsiously in my niche for years! Thanks for everything!!
Hi friend! Search Productivity Game channel on RUclips. I like watching his videos while I eat sometimes. Great channel with bite size videos, and if you like any of the videos in particular it's a good way to know what book in that field you'd want to read next. :-)
@@jujimufu Definitly going to check that out! Thanks Juji! :)
this video really helped put my life into perspective and the goal of turning my hobby into a sustainable lifestyle
I got really lucky and got a day job directly inline with one of my major passions. The job is challenging enough to scratch that itch in my life but relaxed enough to allow me to follow my other passions while being a good father and partner. I stopped at that step you mentioned is good enough for most people. I completely agree.
You don't need luck in America, you need to figure out what you want to do and then go after it.
I was confused about why I sometimes don’t like what I normally like to do. Happy I’m not the only one. Thankyou for mentioning this! It changed my view on life in a positive way, because now I know it’s okay. Amazing video Thankyou very much!!
This is the greatest video on self employment I've ever seen.
Amazing video. Thanks so much for being someone who doesn't try to sell the "self-employed" lifestyle hardcore, to everyone. One of the first points you make, about having a normal job and monetizing your passions on the side as a good stopping point is phenomenal, and what I'd like to achieve. A stable job with salary and benefits but a secondary, small income that comes from something that I truly enjoy. Thank you.
Excellent! Exactly! I get tired of these self proclaimed "entrepreneur" people spreading that bullshit and putting themselves on a pedastal above people who are ok working day jobs doing things they don't necessarily love, but don't mind doing (most of the time). THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT!!!!!!!! As long as you can do a lot of the things you like, and aren't too stressed, then you're a winner in my opinion.
@@jujimufu Not to mention those ridiculous standards of hard work. You're probably going to be less productive if you're at a major sleep deficit and working too many hours anyway
ive been self employed all my life, i find it amusing people get nervous about it, as long as u know how to work hard and are good at what you do, you will never struggle :)
In my 20-30s, I'd consistently 70+ hours a week because I thought I had to and I'd feel like a horrible, lazy person if I didn't, and I assumed that I couldn't make ends meet or ever be happy if I didn't. In the long run, all that really happened is that I ran myself into the ground and my health hit rock bottom because work was all I focused on, and it didn't really put me ahead financially anyway. All that I achieved was making life much harder for myself than it needed to be. Now in my early 40s I'm left to clean up the mess I made of myself over the last 20 years, which isn't easy. What I learned is that happiness is a state of mind, and it's one that you can't necessarily just work yourself into. You have to find a healthy equilibrium and then you will find happiness along the way to a life that you actually want to live.
Love this, I remember seeing your video when you left, was roughly the same time I left my day job too! The budget thing would have been good for me to do 😂 I had massive panic attacks for my first 6 months self employed but ultimately leaving was how I was actually able to grow the business
This was great thanks for sharing Juji
For the last half it can be summed up by the saying (idk who said it first), "choose your hard". It's hard to work 9-5 with an hour commute, it's hard to self sustain on a farm, it's hard to be your own boss, etc, but which would you prefer? You can pick which you want and each have their ups and downs.
Thanks for explaining man, love it! Definitely the end goal, kids can make it harder, but striving!
I bet! I can't speak from experience with the kids, but I can imagine because of them, the stakes are even greater, and the purpose is even more powerful. If you can do more of what you like in general, it's good for both you AND your kids, and that means you're a better parent for it. Keep up the good work!
Juju such a good guy he actually takes time to read his comments
These types of videos (all the reflections, on whether to continue tricking or on the prep experience etc) have and always will be my favorite videos of yours! Love it
Didn't watch this video for a long time cause I didn't think it applied to me. Finally did it cause I'd watch most everything else of yours from the last long while. It actually gave a lot of ideas for rethinking how I'm working right now. I've been working from home for the last 2-3 years ish, but have long struggled with the routine and balance of it. I liked hearing how you manage your time both through the day and during more focused sessions. Really appreciate it :) Thanks for putting this together!
It's crazy that I've been watching juji for 5 years. I'm 21 so I've known juji for about a
quarter of my life. That's how long he has been inspiring me as well as my brother. Love ya juji!!
I come back to this video every time I feel scared and lost in my journey of being self employed! So far these tips have helped me gain new clients and I started to market myself to more people besides my friends and family! Once again, thank you Juji for being a inspiration to me... I will always thank you for slowly changing my life!
I can relate to so much of this vid, especially the guilt when not working part 😅 Thanks for sharing how you’ve worked through it 🙏🏾
Thanks for the follow up video Jon. Its been a wild ride for you these past few years. I'm glad you've been able to use what you've learn to better yourself and this community. Thank you for all you do.
Nice video Juji. Hopefully we get to see more of you soon!
I just quit running my own business (retail design consultancy) after a decade to move into design lecturing. Don’t regret anything, life just presents new opportunities and I’ve moved on as a person.
Love it. Life is about growth and change. Can't fight it. Shouldn't fight it. Just moving on as you say. Congrats!
Juji is so honest and amazing.
Such a stand up dude.
You sir are a very wise man and this is going to help so many on that scary journey of being able to control your own life.
More entrepreneurial videos please!!! You’re very inspiring!!
My friend sent me this as I've been building my company for 6 years now. I still have a day job BUT it's doing what I love for somebody else. I really appreciate the second half of this video. Because that's pretty much the journey I've been on. My current employer and I are the same page though. Flexible schedules, naps when you need them, don't work when you're burnt, and we respect each others' boundaries. It's really nice to be an entrepreneur supporting another entrepreneur.
This really strikes a cord with me right now. I've just quit my job to take a mental break to figure out the direction I want to go. Fortunately, I'd been frugal and busted my a$$ for many years to save enough money to safely bow out for a spell to do just what I'm doing. My fiance finished Grad school with her PhD and has a good job. I really CAN afford the decision 100%,,,, but my deeply ingrained work ethic has me momentarily flustered with my daily schedule now. I'm in the honeymoon phase of relaxing my mind to rewire it to accept this very fortunate ability to do what I'm doing, but I'm also fearful and beginning to experience some of the things you talk about in this video. It's only been a month and I've bounced to each extreme mentally and physically 🤣. A natural effect of new found freedom.
Reprogramming your perception of "working for whom" is vital. Why is working for someone else more important than working for yourself & family? Perspective. Best wishes!
Heya Travis! I know you're bouncing between some extremes now, but honestly, it does sound pretty exciting! I think looking at it from that perspective can make it more of a game for you too! Congratulations on making those decisions, it takes courage, now you get to experiences something new!
I had a 2-hour long conversation with my brother about this last night and how I enjoy entrepreneurialship so much more than my day job. This was the video I needed to see today. Thanks a million Juji.
You're exactly right. I went through the same issues when I became self employed. I no longer work 80 hours a week. More like 50hours. Plus I learned the value of sleep like you did. I had a ton of guilt because I felt a constant pressure to self motivate
One of the most honest and realistic videos I’ve seen on this topic.
Some good info. It's so true that working for yourself takes more discipline than working a day job because you only have yourself to push you and schedule things. I still have a hard time with my side business setting time for working, it's easy to get sidetracked or procrastinate. Digging the videos dude, it's cool to see you achieving business success.
This is great. I started a business training dogs for off leash obedience a couple years ago. I have a problem with the “taking a break is degenerate” mindset but lucky for me dogs prosper when they’re allowed to rest so listening to them has helped me learn to relax
this is very cool to read, such a unique experience you shared. thank you!
I love this serious content. You have a lot of insight and experience to share and are clearly a thoughtful, smart person. As a business start-up a lot rings true. More please.
Clear and concise, indeed. A master of RUclips.
Nice guy with good honest advice. The fitness industry needs more of these.
Step 6 should be something do do from the very begining. If you are able to budget your money from a very early stage then you'll be able to do the things you want to do faster.
Very true. It's kind of part of that adage about "the amount of $ you spend on something is the amount of life you give up for it" - something pretty important to keep in mind imo. Doing the budget from the get go kind of gives you that feeling you need for clarity's sake.
This was really well put together thanks for taking the time.
One of the best videos I've ever seen. Not just another "quit your job and do what you love" But an actual detailed breakdown of how to do it, and what it's really like. Thanks!
First time someone talks about how you don't need to become a machine when you're doing you're own business. People only talk about a 4 hour work week or waking up at 4 am and this is a great reasonable opinion.
fantastic video and thanks for the honesty.
This could not have come at a better time. I just recently started up my business in personal training and am in the process of going from a job I hate, to something that is okay and pays a lot, so I can fund the starting of this business. Being in this honeymoon phase is awesome though. Just handed in my final assignment for my PT license yesterday, waiting anxiously for the assessment, filling out bank forms so that I can get paid for my services. Planning a social media feed to get people interested in my services. This is so awesome. Thank you Juji for reaffirming that I’m on somewhat of a right path.
I really like the graph you showed on your whiteboard a few months ago talking about what you're going to spend energy on over the next few months. I think I get stuck in the thoughts that I have to be doing everything everyday but that's not always true. I think the most important thing is to be productively present
Thanks! It's funny that I made that graph in August and through January, and it's pretty much happened exactly as I had graphed it. And not even because I was intentionally following it. I kinda, in a roundabout way, predicted my own future, which was useful in its own right. I think it's good to do that exercise and periodize your life that way, it contains your expectations extremely well, which really helps you get out of your own way and be "productively present" just as you said.
@@jujimufu I really hope you're answering comments while watching the great british baking show from your recliner lol, I appreciate the reply! It's been cool to see pre-body building competition Juji and to see you now, I think you've done a really good job of sharing the lessons and growth you've learned from that journey! I appreciate the inspiration man!
@@getgoodorstaybad6849 lol. I'm answering them at my computer. Bout to go in and eat another meal and hang out with Sam and the cat. We're watching "The Great" lately. It's funny. :-)
We all have to find what works best for us because what works for you may not work for her or him or me but having the sense to realize what’s productive and whats non productive is a huge step keep it up J
Been looking forward to this video! I appreciate the reminder that skills aren't always passions. I have learned a lot of different stuff in my own time and through formal education, and I often get excited about that learning process. A good example is playing and writing music. I used to have a really good flow and consistent structure to writing as I was learning, but as I've gotten into the working world to make ends meet, the passion and time to devote isn't quite the same, so I keep getting down on myself thinking I suddenly don't have the skillset anymore. Much love to you Juji, and hello from up the mountain in Boone!
John you freaking rock and the vid is a perfect example of why you've grown so much over the years keep up the vibes and epicness
Thank you April!
I wish we would all be so candid about successes, challenges, failures, etc. Thanks, Jon.
Thank you Juji! for the last 2 years I have been on the road on becoming self employed! My dream has been being a Powerlifting athlete/ coach and lately I have been very nervous and scared. But now, you have given me the biggest confidence booster! I'm not sure if you remember me but you went the basement gym and I asked you about your mentality going into your workouts. I am a huge fan and thank you for making my journey more manageable!
I think I remember you. I was probably stuffing my face with a thermos meal on the couch after I worked out in the lobby? If so good to see you here buddy! Sounds like you've made a lot of progress and are closing in on creating a really cool new chapter in your life! Keep it up my friend!
This is excellent. I am a PhD student. I run a small side hustle selling a service on the internet. Everything mentioned in this video applies so much to my life. It's very interesting and very helpful to hear these issues expertly articulated by Juji. Thank you Juji! I especially benefitted from hearing about how to approach routines once you quit your day job. I too have of freedom to organize my day and my routine but I also have a lot of work. The psychological struggle of getting enough sleep and still feeling productive is very real and I was happy to hear Juji's experience on this matter.
Thanks for dropping the thoughtful comment my friend and for sharing your experience! It's good you're working hard AND have in your mind why you're doing it. That's actually a blessing and it's good you have that going for you!
@@jujimufu Thank you for the kind words! I really liked this type of video and you have a lot to offer in this kind of discussion about the deeper psychological issues of being self-employed. I would love to see more videos on these kind of issues in related areas. Maybe about the psychological stages people go through in training. Or how relationships change when balancing fitness, self-employmemt, bodybuilding shows, travel etc. Fascinating stuff. It could be like a more relaxed version of Bugez old long monologues.
Thanks for this Juji
Another great video idea would be about your thoughts on relocating and where/when to move
In general, I'd love to see more videos with your unique life guidance tips... I bet I'm not the only one
This is my favorite video you ever made. I’m most definitely going to watch this again in the future.
Yes Jujimufu, one of my all time heroes, been with you since 2003 TT days, on a very similar journey with my side hustles, making good progress, only a year into it whilst working full time, keep on grinding! Inspirational video and I'm proud of the journey you've taken!
Thx men. Going for my goal. The mental part you put up is the thing most times you don't hear anywhere.
This video comes at an important time for me. In 2020, I had a bit of an existential crisis - I’m sure others did too. It was particularly surrounding my career path. I work as a federal employee in the museum industry. For the past few years, I haven’t felt motivated or inspired with my work. So, I ended up getting my personal training certification during quarantine because of my passion for fitness and bringing that joy to others. The one thing holding me back were my student loans. But, just recently I got notification that the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program I had been working towards finally forgave them - I’m free of that debt and have a new lease on life. At the end of last years, I got a part-time coaching job and realized it truly was something I wanted to pursue (and I already have an interview scheduled for a full-time training position at the gym I personally work out at), so I’m sowing the seeds to quit my day job soon. Thank you for this video and sharing your experience and insight.
It's crazy how much we are willing to justify as okay when it comes to working. I'm not in the position to just quit but I did recently change jobs and I'm so much happier but it took me years of justifying all the crap at my old job to reach the breaking point and even then I was terrified to do it. As you said its ok to be scared of the unknown but you never know until you take that step. Congrats on the success and I look forward to continuing to follow along with your journey.
Same boat... I think I'm going all in.. I can't do this for 40 years man
@@BountyRogueCinemax go for it man. It's not worth it to be miserable and keep giving your time to a place that would replace you tomorrow if they wanted to. There might not be a perfect job out there but there are definitely better ones.
Fantastic. Good on you for finding a job you don't hate. While I do think it's unhealthy to expect to find a job you love, I also think it's unhealthy to work a job you hate (long term). Great job finding the courage to take a leap to somewhere that you aren't a stressed!
This was really a great video man. People can really benefit from hearing your story as you're the portray of self made man people are starving for. Specially young men who make most of your following. I'm 30 and I recently started this transition from traditional schedules to self employment and I'm struggling with a lot of the challenges you just mentioned. As surely a lot of people is doing during this times. This is a great turning point for your channel if you decide to connect and use your way with words, strategic thinking skills and experience to connect and inspire your audience. Salute man, and wish you keep getting better every year.
Wow thank you very much for the very thoughtful response. I'm happy you liked this video and just know that you're courageous for struggling and facing the challenges you're facing now, to make the most of your journey. Thank you my friend.
@@jujimufu that reply means a lot man, thank you very much for your kind words. I just wanted to say my piece and tell you how much your work is appreciated by all of us. You bring some level headed, resourceful and healthy entertaining content to a space that can be a bit chaotic sometimes. Salute from across the ocean!
Juji's "1 Life Changing Lesson" vid from a few weeks back helped me reach the conclusions he talked about at 13:30. I've felt my passion for my work and my education have been slipping for the last three months. I've been wanting to call out more, I've been postponing and procrastinating things, and I've been struggling to come up with any motivation for training. Juji helped me take a step back and reflect on why I'm feeling this way.
I've been dieting for 5 months, working down from a bulking and cutting cycle between 180-195 for the last two years, finally leaning down to 10%! Huge progress, only a few weeks left, and I will be lean. I didn't think for a moment how this could impact everything else going on in life, but it absolutely has. You HAVE to take a step back and inventory as things change.
I'm not lacking passion or interest, I'm just lacking energy. That revelation has helped me to actually enjoy work and school and everything more. I wasn't depressed, I was overwhelmed by the amount of things I took on while 194 and in a caloric surplus. It's not that I'm not enjoying things, but I am gonna have to grit down and work through it sometimes. Thanks Juji!
Oh no, Juji is using VLDL clips. The circle is almost complete.
Really appreciated this video as a young person (17) and not knowing for sure what i want to do with my life. It's great to have the perspective of someone like you juji.
It's ok if you don't know what you want to do "with your life" but just try things, and get good at some things right now and be kind to people. To give you a little insight, I didn't know what I wanted to do either when I graduated highschool, I just knew I wanted to work out and diet and make videos and stuff. So I went on a "biology and chemistry" plan for college, because that could lead to exercise physiology or something? So I just kinda went through the motions. By the time I got to year 3 I just decided to go full biology and chemistry (go with the flow) but I just did it because I didn't know what I wanted to do for a job. I just figured i'd finish college first. Then I just got a job in biotech when I graduated and kept training and dieting and doing all that stuff on the side. At first my job got in the way of those things, but I figured out ways to make my job easier so I could be less stressed. Then I negotiated work hours and did other things to make the job more palatable for me. And that's the same job I kept for 7 years before I finally quit and did what I'm doing now. So sometimes it's not the job that's the problem, sometimes it's your job to make that job easy, and then it's an ok job to have! Anyway, right now, just strive to get good at things and be kind to people, goes a long way.
@@jujimufu I appreciate the response. I'll definitely take that advice to heart. Thanks!
dude you got me started on like 25 of my fitness subs. first Juji then many if those that you've collabed with and so on. I enjoy the community very much, its a good mix of positivity paired with actual world applications to keep yourself happy and healthy, its not just cheesy nice words. ive rock climbed for going on 2 years now and have lost 20 lbs as a result, although this isnt something thats on your channel all the time the diversity is was i appreciate. weither its learning to lift from dave, climb from magnus, flip from anton or anything else from anyone else, its all thru your channel. THANKS!!
I was following you back before you quit (when I still used Instagram) and I've just rediscovered you through Magnus' videos featuring you (I clicked on it because I recognized you) and I'm super happy for you and happy to have found Magnus channel too. the internet is a cool place some time.
Great video 👍🏽😎 ! I really appreciate your positive influence and approach to self confidence and reliance on goal setting, planning and self determination . Looking forward to seeing you in the years ahead as you continue to mentor those who need the community of “doers” ! 👏🏾😎🏋🏽♂️🏆👍🏽😃
This is such great, honest advice, way different than you read or see from a lot of business or entrepreneur "gurus". I'm currently working a 9-5 job while also trying to grow my own training business, and though the goal is to quit my day job, it feels scary sometimes! But that's ok! Just gotta take the time to build a good foundation and be self-sustainable before committing to that decision, while also realizing when staying at your day job is hurting your potential to grow the thing you really like to do. Thanks for putting what a lot of people are feeling into a video!
You bring up a tricky thing I didn't cover in the video. "When it comes into your head that staying at your day job is hurting your potential to grow the thing you really like to do." the thing is you can have this thought even if you like your day job, like I did, and it can unsettle you and create doubt and make you feel like you're getting left behind or not progressing fast enough. Thing is, those thoughts and feelings don't help you, motivate you, or foster focus: instead, they just create panic. Anyway, please continue building that foundation as you are and don't feel rushed... You're probably working as fast and as hard as you can to make that transition, just be nice to yourself and take 1 step at a time day by day, and to seize opportunities when they arise to get a little extra done when you have bonus energy!
@@jujimufu That's definitely something I struggle with sometimes, the feeling that you're not growing as fast you've decided you should be in your head. But I always come back to the quote "you often overestimate what you can accomplish in 6 months, and underestimate what you can achieve in 5 years." Thanks for the kind words Juji, it's great to see someone succeed who's gone through all the same doubts and feelings that many of us experience!
I'm partially retired myself. I built my business to the point where I work about 20 hours a week mostly by choice. My current plan is to sell in just over 6 years (at 40) and fully retire so that I can open a non-profit STEM and trade (animal husbandry, welding, plumbing, electric, etc...) education center.
I am not putting it off for the sake of my day job, it's just that - for me - selling my company will give me the insane amount of investment capital that I want to help make my NFP as successful as possible in terms of providing the services promised. I just feel like 6 more years of me being at the helm of my company will be best to continue growing the value.
I love what I currently do, but when it's about profit there is still stress. When I start my NFP I can just sit back and let it run and never worry about it affecting my own net worth. That means I can do things like just feck off and go travel to Australia with my wife for 4 months if we want to, or we can go travel the world and attend all the major gymnastics competitions (her passion).
Juji thanks a lot brother. I really appreciate this. I've been thinking about starting my own business for a while now and this helped me realize I can start slow and transition from my day job to my own thing once the ball is rolling. Much love!
Running two or three jobs is difficult but necessary if you want to eat.Getting that explosive growth is really necessary, I ran with mine a lot longer as I was terrified of no income and looking back,what a mistake it cost me health wise.
