  • After quitting my office job over a year ago, here's what a typical self-employed day looks like running a successful online business.
    In this day in the life video, I take you through a busy day from morning to evening, share some of my approaches to business and productivity and talk about the experiences of running a business, quitting the 9-5 life and going from employee to entrepreneur. Hope you enjoy!

    This video helped me a lot. As a new online entrepreneur I intuitively organized my day in work blocks like this. But coming from a corporate software developer job it’s has been tough for me to let myself take time off from my desk. I keep thinking I’m just being lazy by not being at my desk for 8 hours a day straight. But after seeing your video I am heartened that I am ok doing it this way. 4 or 5 1-2hr work blocks interspersed by personal time to do other non work things. So thanks again for giving me
    permission to be ok working this way. It’s midday now. I think I’ll go play some tennis! 😊

    • @ivanpalovic9930

      Question though: do you spend all 8 hours being productive at your desk? Or do you let yourself go and get distracted?

    • @AndrewEthanZeng
      @AndrewEthanZeng  3 года назад +2

      Absolutely! It's counterproductive not to enjoy yourself throughout your work day

    • @richardmanson-hing9807
      @richardmanson-hing9807 3 года назад

      Ivan Palovic in my software corporate job I usually have to stay at my desk from 8-5 only breaking for a 1hr lunch. A lot of that time is wasted because I am uninspired or I need to do something else to free up my mind.

    One of the biggest benifits in the day for me personally since i don't work a regular job anymore, is to take a power nap. I consider it a luxury when you are on your own schedule and don't work for a boss anymore. My office is my home, so when i am working on an ad campaign and my brain starts to max out, I stop, and take a nap. that's right, I said take a Nap. Then i come back to it and my brain is refreshed and ready to go again with clear thinking.

    Hey bro! Stumbled upon this video in hopes to break free of my 9-5 and start becoming my own boss as well. What REALLY surprised me was when you panned over the watches… as it peaked my interest with your opening scene (seeing stainless steel on the wrist) then when you showed the black bay I was like YO! oh my god. I’ve got the same watch. The 58 is amazing. Anyways subscribed !

    I guess the most productive video that you could ever post is the beginning of your journey since now the video seems to represent a well-balanced and non-hectic schedule. But the hectic beginning I believe would be the most productive one for your viewers.

    Btw, it isn't easy to multi-task as you are making it sound. An ecom business or any digital marketing business have many moving parts and there is always something that keeps you anxious. Most times I'm out with my friends or family and part of my brain is always thinking about some fire in the business that needs putting out and it is annoying. Not easy to be an entrepreneur. :)

    • @AndrewEthanZeng
      @AndrewEthanZeng  2 года назад

      Most definitely not. I experience thinking about those "fires" too. What I have learned so far, is to build a system that works for me and make sure I check (or anticipate) for sparks before they get bigger. Keep hustling!
