The dream of being able to leave our corporate job to go for something that gives us freedom, happiness and flexibility is honesty just a dream... until now. The pandemic proves that right now the world is uncertain and life is too short to work 9-5 and be unhappy. You owe it to yourself to go outside and dream BIG! 💪🏻
Thanks Jessica! I quit my job as an RN last two years ago after almost 18 years in the field. It was not an easy decision, but life is too short to dread going to work everyday. No amount of money can buy real happiness, but friends I'm not asking you to resign from your job or abandon your business but be wise!
@@momtalksbudget5407 right now I run my own business and While I was still in service I planned towards early retirement, making about 3k weekly from my retirement investment portfolio trying so much to build more side hustles and extra income
@@yvonneerik2510 wow impressive you're making quite a fortune speaking of investing I have heard many people talk about it but I don't really know how to start can you explain?
@@momtalksbudget5407 there's a lot of investing options but my best advice get a professional lead you into profitable one that's exactly what I did :)
Preach it girlfriend. I used to think it was normal to hate my job because everyone around me hated their job, swapping stories of terrible bosses, low pay, 1-2 weeks of vacay a year blah blah blah. I’ve been re evaluating my life and realizing I don’t have to live the rest of my life this way. Heck other countries don’t even live this way.
The last 6 months have consisted of me heavily considering leaving the corporate world to start working for myself. I’ve been extremely hesitant to get started because of the uncertainty- not only in the economy right now, but also because I am most definitely one of those “multi-passionate” people which makes trying to niche down seem almost impossible… Ironically, about a week ago I was notified by my corporate job that they will be “eliminating” my position in December of this year… So, I have made the decision to take the next 6 months to really try to make it happen so that I don’t have to continue working for other people. Your videos have truly helped and inspired me to believe in myself and to just take it one day, one task at a time. That being said, I just have to thank you so so much for just being you and sharing your journey!
I am quitting being stuck on government assistance. I've a chronic illness that prevents me from doing a regular 9-5 jobs but I am tired of being unable to afford to live, let alone get the things I want so I am determined to make the funds to live the life I want no matter my disability. I want to give my child a life that I did not have growing up and break out of the poverty cycle I have been shoved in.
Oh my goodness, within 0:39 second you are making me cry and get some hope after 2 years of struggle with no job and getting more and more sick, I could hug you with happiness right now
Still working my corporate job but I’m in the process of getting everything together and start my “side hustle” job that could easily become my full time job! Thank you for this video because I was needing a little extra encouragement today!
Jessica, I really appreciate your post, it has definitely given me a boost, motivation to get off my but and rake action. Although, with me, I’m all over the place with ideas and what ifs or should i’s, it’s ridiculous. I feel like I’m dragging a dead horse. So much pressure of what am I going to do with my life, my talent that I always give up before getting started. When I have too much to think about or too many people telling me that I’m too creative to even have a problem making money, that you need to do this or that, I basically shut down and do nothing. I hate my job, I’m at the age of retirement with nothing saved and that is what’s upsetting me most. I should be further along in life whereas I should be prepared to retire with what I need to have already in place and I don’t. I can’t do anything until I start something. I beat myself up all the time, trust me but I have to use the god given talent as an artist to be passionate about the one thing that I love and turn it into a dream job. I took some days off, a mental break, and now is the time to take action. Thanks Jessica
And we’re seeing that our parents, who have spent 30+ years with a company or corporation, are getting totally screwed over. It’s not like our grandparents generation who had a solid pension, and an employer who seemingly knew and cared about them. It’s not like that anymore, there is no feeling of loyalty, or service, that anyone in a huge corporation is making a real difference with “administration” dictating our every move at work. Phew, that turned in to a rant I wasn’t anticipating! Hey y’all good luck!
Loved this! The second time around it really hit home. I've had a lot of crappy jobs and finally wound up working from home due to Covid and realized how great the freedom was and there was a life without commuter butt and dirty break room fridges. I had started following you and decided to start my own business. Just as I decided, I got an offer from a friend and went back to work and pretty much immediately decided I wanted my dream more. So I am now going to do the service based off ramp and the the longer you tube once I am up and running. I am all in for my dream and hope to quit my job by Spring/Summer.Thank you Jessica!!!💞
I'm not quitting corporate, but I do want to quit retail. I cry every day before work. Don't smile when I'm there. People always ask what's wrong with me. I do have 40 years of executive assistant experience and have added customer service to my current job. I would LOVE to start a VA business and have tried but failed. I don't want to put out any more money for courses that just haven't helped. So, I do feel trapped. 😣
I have been applying at jobs for the last 2 years and no one will hire me. I've been trying to find a way that i won't have to apply at more jobs and this may be the way. i edit videos all the time, and I love it. I love the video it was amazing and very helpful
As a Respiratory Therapist of 31 years i so want to quit my job!! I am def looking into digital products, praying I can make this work!!! Just over here binge watching you!!
Thank you for giving me hope and easing my anxiety with info about possibly transferring the skills I already have into a side hustle or business. You have answered a lot of my questions. And I am really thinking now about what I can do....to ultimately get money coming in to replace my current income. Thank you!!❤
My husband and I are both on disability and we have started a RUclips channel together as well as working on a fitness brand. We have started a website (that I'm still working on) and have merchandise. It is a struggle right now because none of them have really taken off and disability is not really enough for a family to live on. We keep pushing on because we want to help others and have the life we've dreamed of. Thanks for your video and inspiration.
I been in the medical field over a decade and I can’t even say I hate it because hate isn’t even strong enough for what I feel and all because the abuse and pay it’s disgusting and pray I can find my way out permanently to never look back again I have a great eBay thing going but I need a full blown business
I am looking for how to get out immediately. My job is affecting my health really bad, but I don't have the option to hang on for a year. This job is gonna severely affect my health if I stay that long.
I know full well I can't quit my job yet, but I am working on building up an audience on RUclips and Instagram for my art and writing, hopefully it'll grow and replace my full-time job. :)
I have an amazing job where I’m appreciated and loved but I miss being at home with my kids, especially when they’re out for summer break. So I’m torn. However, I’d love to be able to start up a side hustle in the meantime to bring additional income into our home - that’s what brought me to this video. I’m just nervous about failing.
Hello, I know this video is old but I need this right now. I have to leave my Corporate job because I am burnt out and my family and my health are suffering. I'm terrified for this move but I have to leave or I will have a stroke at 41 and lose the precious time with my family. Tfs ♥️
I love your video. I got all the answers to my bugging questions as am preparing to quit because I work in a dysfunctional and toxic work environment where am also overworked and have not time for my fashion passion. I did my research to arrive at this conclusion of my present state for 2 years plus now. Thankfully I have assets to help start my business, at least for a start and enough skills for now. Still learning though. Thank you.
Hi! I know this is absolutely crazy but I’m about to quit my job with absolutely no savings at all. My job is really bad and is making me have panic attacks before work and on my breaks. I know 9-5 isn’t for me and it never was. I plan on driving for door dash maybe waiting tables 2 nights a week and grinding on all my side hustles. Has anyone else done something like this? I’m scared, worried and could use any advice, validation, and/or support! I also can not save from my job because it’s really not enough to pay my bills now.
@@Fields614 good luck! I believe in you! I’m having a tough time I don’t know how I’m going to pay my rent… I am making more money doordashing than I used to at my old job. But unfortunately I am still about 1000$ short of what I need. I used to have a high paying job investigating Covid but it ended when the vaccine came out. I got a 1100$ a month apartment thinking that I would have the money to pay it. Idk what to do anymore to be honest I’m hitting a pretty deep depression
I feel the same way! I just cut my hours back because I am getting anxiety everyday as I approach work-even though it’s the best job one could have if you have to work. I feel at peace about it even though I’m not sure how to make it financially as a single parent! If working a job doesn’t pay all the bills anyway, I figured the only hope for a way out is trying something different since what I am doing isn’t working. It should be interesting!
3 months later you are giving me encouragement! I’m in this exact position like I want to quit today a year ago! I hope everything is going well for you! We in this together 🥰
I feel you! My job was giving me anxiety throughout my daily life, and my OCD skyrocketed (since OCD is an anxiety driven disorder). I told my boss about how I was getting burned out (and was still burned out on my days off) and that there should be more than one person running a buffet (cooking, getting food out, keeping coffee going, stocking up all of the utensils and condiments, wiping tables, doing all of the dishes by hand; and then I had to do this as fast as possible so that I would have enough time to clean 8 common areas of the hotel!). Then they started having me unload the delivery truck all by myself. But since they didn't care, they later blamed me for not getting everything done during a 7 or 8 hour shift, and they fired me over the phone. I could take them to the labor board, but they were willing to be my job reference. At the same time, I don't want to work in food or retail anymore if it's just going to be like that again. Been chasing my dream as an artist and am thinking about working for Door Dash or Instacart. Or even for a temporary job agency (because places seem to be a lot nicer to you if you are always the new person). How are you doing now? Would love to know, because it might give me hope.
@@ArtsyMegz_On_Etsy hi!!! I am so very sorry to hear that happened to you! I can’t believe they would do that over the phone. So sorry :( I found out for myself that I lack consistency and discipline big time. I am learning how to care for myself and it is very difficult. I did delivery apps for about 3 months and then found a new job hated it, quit found another, hated it, and I just started another new one today that looks better. It’s with a major car company and I’ll be working in collections (away from the general public) doing admin work. I have a good feeling about this one. I also wait tables on the side which has good moments and some pretty awful days that really get to my depression and anxiety. With all that said. I think you should go after what you want and what feels right both intuitively and logically. Maybe you have much more consistency and discipline than I do, and can make it work! So many people do! I’m a bit like you in the way that I decided I did not want to do retail anymore or restaurant or any of that. I decided I want stability and office work, and something that’s more toned down (hopefully). I still have to wait tables on the side until I at least get caught up on bills and then maybe I can replace that with doordashing again if I start to build that discipline muscle.. The biggest advice I can say (which you already know deep down) is that you are a hard worker, you deserve more than that place. And I deserve more than waiting tables, or selling crap. I believe in you and you can make this work. I know it.
have been contemplating quitting my job since January. i even started a RUclips channel which i am growing right now and it has been hard. but i want to focus on it and i decided to quit my job last week and the freedom is real people. cooporations someties has no respect for people and many aat times people suffocate.
Thank you for making this video. It was like God sent me here. I had to quit my job and glad that I did because of my health Issue's. I'm trying to figure out Printable Downloads, and Affiliate Marketing and Faceless RUclips. Any Advice?
I would really love to quit my job. I am getting more and more tired of this whole crap. I live paycheck to paycheck while the owners get richer and richer. They grow and I stay where I am. Also, I literally have no life besides this. I already started the progress in my freetime and also trying out some print on demand stuff when I have some time in my working hours. So thank you for the affirmation :)
Soooo….I’m looking to quit my executive level position for content creation and to build a digital products business 😅. My first question was: “I’m the breadwinner, how the hell do I quit and still provide for my family?” I know how to edit and market!! I’m diving in and setting this up. Thanks for this video!!
I have been trying to hear my educational career towards one day on my own with credentials. I’m nearly there with doctorate. My brain spins day in and day out how to translate primary care np into a consulting/coaching business. This is where I’ve been STUCK!!!!
Just because there are many different avenues to do like graphic design, video editing, it doesn’t mean that you will find clients or make money off of it. The market is saturated with freelancers and it’s not as easy as you are making it sound like to just ‘start’ a freelance business.
Of course not - a video teaching you everything you need to do to be successful would be hours long - not a RUclips video. The point here is to spark an idea because it IS that easy. If someone realizes they CAN do something, they can figure out the other pieces. And, coming from someone who’s done it - it’s not hard to find clients, you just have to be dedicated
I have a love hate relationship with my job. I love my job but there are days that I loathe it so much I would rather work for myself. I’m definitely going to check on those sites you listed because I didn’t realize that’s what they were there for. I need to get something going in case I either get canned or so I can finally quit my 9-5.
I quit my job without an exit plan because a manager tried to attack me physically… I’m married so it’s been kind of ok financially but I have nothing coming in monetarily and I want to work for myself but not sure where to start
Jessica, you mentioned a key issue for me at the end. I'm planning to leave corporate before the end of this year, however, I provide medical insurance through my job. How do you handle health insurance? This is the biggest conundrum for me.
I went part-time at my corporate job this year and I lost my health insurance benefits because of it (most part-time employees aren't eligible for their company's insurance plans). To keep myself covered, I had to purchase my own individual health insurance plan. Most states offer financial assistance programs to help you pay for insurance. I live in California, so I applied for Covered CA and found a cheap plan with Kaiser Permanente. Not the greatest insurance plan, but I don't visit the doctor much anyway.

I Quit Thanksgiving 2021, I have written over 5 business plans because since I was a kid I always wanted to be an entrepreneur and thought a home Enterprise kitchen was the way, but It unfortunately It fell through, and didn't feel right, In January I felt super lost, and immediately had to decide what the heck I would do. I have a lot of skills, and I'm thankful for that, but for volunteer work, I am a Communications Coordinator, in hopes it gives me skills, and possibly a job since I'm running out of Money..and I have to move, so I'll have $2 in my account by June... So I found your video a little too late, but I wish I watched this before I quit. HA
I'm in that longer runway and I'm cool with it. Working to find my stride and my voice. I came to the comments to see the VA teachers you recommend (wondering if we have some people in common) but didn't see that in the description box.
Hi! So ANYONE have any ideas for someone who has been in the food and beverage Industry as a bartender/server/cocktails in Las Vegas for 17 years? I rack my brain, but I just don't know! 😢
I have been wanting to work from home since I had my first kid 5 years ago. I feel like I’ve tried it all from MLM’s to Online WFH jobs but at the time no one was hiring. I finally decided to start a YT channel this past January talking about things that interest me. And I feel that the past 5 years has helped me get the patience that I need to build up my channel and I’m really looking forward to the day I am monetized. Jessica, I love your videos! I’ve been watching your content for about a year now and you are what helped me get the courage to start my own channel and I wanted the thank you. ❤️❤️
I'm a reseller who's trying to use my graphic design skills to make digital content and I've watched so many videos but I'm so lost on how to actually get started like step by step walk through.
Any ideas where I can learn how to do video editing. I have zero skills in this and just need a starting point so I can then develop it on my own. Thanks.
Do you still offer services where we can consult on what avenues there could be based on current skill? The story you mentioned about helping a client pick a business area even when she didn’t think she had any skills is the exact assistance I need and would pay for.
The problem with my previous skillset is that I hated doing the parts of the job that I could still do (support) and because of my body, I can't do the parts that I enjoyed. I have an art business that I've tried to build for the last 11 years. It's still only bringing in something like $50 a month. I have talked to so many coaches and fellow entrepreneurs without it making a difference. I do know that my mindset is in order. Several of them have told me so. It's just a tiny piece missing somewhere that will bring me over the top of the hill
I’ve heard that being adaptable is crucial. If most of the marketing models are geared toward teaching and coaching, is there a way your art business could offer one of these options in addition?
I'm on a mission to start a business my goal is to get to that point, where my husband can leave the job he's miserable at he's a foreman literally they make him so everything, constantly threatening to fire everyone saying they don't need anyone.. which hmm they wouldn't be a business without everyone but okay😅🤦 and he's just so stressed and mentally exhausted slaving away for $30,000/yr we are struggling so bad with 3 younge babies, we don't have credit cards etc so if we don't have the money for something we just can't get it multiple times a week I'm getting food from food pantrys and trying to get help with bills every months I feel like I'm constantly just trying to survive struggling to focus on actually planning and starting a business! I'm also just very like Judy and criticize myself and never make any content to grow my socials etc. I would absolutely love to pick your brain!
You mentioned in the video that you would put a link in the description of your friend who coaches Virtual Assistants to start their business, but I can't see it there. Are you able to add it please? Thanks :)
Hi Jessica, you mentioned linking info on your two friends that can help with starting a virtual assistant business but I don't see them in the description. Would it still be ok if you sent them over? Thanks
"Irish Exit" ... I had to look that up, only English and Americans say that phrase, its not Irish at all. Probably originated from the English poking fun at the French leaving without saying goodbye. Perhaps the original ghosting, or "leaving like a thief", no goodbyes to anyone, just slipping out the door, but not Irish behavior. :-)
I have a SERIOUS question. I've been offered to work with Facebook Pages and ads exclusively. Can I also have a premium subscription at RUclips? I'm severely disabled & have time for a long haul. Should I stick with the pushy flaky weird demands @Facebook or go with something more stable like this?
What about those of us who have been stay at home/homeschooling moms, out of the corporate workforce for 10 plus years? The way the world has changed, being a one income household is no longer working for us. Extra funds to start something is very small to none. Any suggestions on that?
What can you do? What are you good at. You can baby sit kids of the working mothers. Can you take pics? See what/where events are. Can you do hair maybe braiding or make hair accessories.
lot of jobs employees like their job, down the street is heb grocery, they make 14 to 15 a hour , their never hiring,, my job united supermarkets, 9 to 10 a hour, its a revolving door, no one wants to be there
Why in you videos do you always say leaving your corporate job. Not everyone got lucky enough to have a corporate job. Some of us have been working 2 full time jobs because there is other opportunities available to us.
The dream of being able to leave our corporate job to go for something that gives us freedom, happiness and flexibility is honesty just a dream... until now. The pandemic proves that right now the world is uncertain and life is too short to work 9-5 and be unhappy. You owe it to yourself to go outside and dream BIG! 💪🏻

Since you are on Social Security Disability you are not supposed to earn any income because you are supposed to not be able to work.

I’m scared, worried and could use any advice, validation, and/or support! I also can not save from my job because it’s really not enough to pay my bills now.
@@Fields614 good luck! I believe in you! I’m having a tough time I don’t know how I’m going to pay my rent… I am making more money doordashing than I used to at my old job. But unfortunately I am still about 1000$ short of what I need. I used to have a high paying job investigating Covid but it ended when the vaccine came out. I got a 1100$ a month apartment thinking that I would have the money to pay it. Idk what to do anymore to be honest I’m hitting a pretty deep depression
I feel the same way! I just cut my hours back because I am getting anxiety everyday as I approach work-even though it’s the best job one could have if you have to work. I feel at peace about it even though I’m not sure how to make it financially as a single parent! If working a job doesn’t pay all the bills anyway, I figured the only hope for a way out is trying something different since what I am doing isn’t working. It should be interesting!
3 months later you are giving me encouragement! I’m in this exact position like I want to quit today a year ago! I hope everything is going well for you! We in this together 🥰
I feel you! My job was giving me anxiety throughout my daily life, and my OCD skyrocketed (since OCD is an anxiety driven disorder). I told my boss about how I was getting burned out (and was still burned out on my days off) and that there should be more than one person running a buffet (cooking, getting food out, keeping coffee going, stocking up all of the utensils and condiments, wiping tables, doing all of the dishes by hand; and then I had to do this as fast as possible so that I would have enough time to clean 8 common areas of the hotel!). Then they started having me unload the delivery truck all by myself. But since they didn't care, they later blamed me for not getting everything done during a 7 or 8 hour shift, and they fired me over the phone. I could take them to the labor board, but they were willing to be my job reference. At the same time, I don't want to work in food or retail anymore if it's just going to be like that again. Been chasing my dream as an artist and am thinking about working for Door Dash or Instacart. Or even for a temporary job agency (because places seem to be a lot nicer to you if you are always the new person). How are you doing now? Would love to know, because it might give me hope.
@@ArtsyMegz_On_Etsy hi!!! I am so very sorry to hear that happened to you! I can’t believe they would do that over the phone. So sorry :( I found out for myself that I lack consistency and discipline big time. I am learning how to care for myself and it is very difficult. I did delivery apps for about 3 months and then found a new job hated it, quit found another, hated it, and I just started another new one today that looks better. It’s with a major car company and I’ll be working in collections (away from the general public) doing admin work. I have a good feeling about this one. I also wait tables on the side which has good moments and some pretty awful days that really get to my depression and anxiety. With all that said. I think you should go after what you want and what feels right both intuitively and logically. Maybe you have much more consistency and discipline than I do, and can make it work! So many people do! I’m a bit like you in the way that I decided I did not want to do retail anymore or restaurant or any of that. I decided I want stability and office work, and something that’s more toned down (hopefully). I still have to wait tables on the side until I at least get caught up on bills and then maybe I can replace that with doordashing again if I start to build that discipline muscle.. The biggest advice I can say (which you already know deep down) is that you are a hard worker, you deserve more than that place. And I deserve more than waiting tables, or selling crap. I believe in you and you can make this work. I know it.
have been contemplating quitting my job since January. i even started a RUclips channel which i am growing right now and it has been hard. but i want to focus on it and i decided to quit my job last week and the freedom is real people. cooporations someties has no respect for people and many aat times people suffocate.
I'm loving your content! Thank you so much for all of your insight. 😊
OMGoodness! I love this! Do you actively coach?!?! I need this!
I offer strategy sessions! You can email my team (howdy@heyjessica.com) for more information and they can answer any questions you have!
My first time watching your videos!! So good ty RUclips algorithm for recommending this haha I can’t wait to be my own boss one day!
Yes youtube algorithm! Thanks for being here ❤️
Thank you for making this video. It was like God sent me here. I had to quit my job and glad that I did because of my health Issue's. I'm trying to figure out Printable Downloads, and Affiliate Marketing and Faceless RUclips. Any Advice?
I would really love to quit my job. I am getting more and more tired of this whole crap. I live paycheck to paycheck while the owners get richer and richer. They grow and I stay where I am. Also, I literally have no life besides this. I already started the progress in my freetime and also trying out some print on demand stuff when I have some time in my working hours. So thank you for the affirmation :)
This video is such an inspiration, it gave me hope in everything I am trying to do! Thank you for your advice 😊
I'm new to your channel, but just want to say that I absolutely ADORE your personality!!
Soooo….I’m looking to quit my executive level position for content creation and to build a digital products business 😅. My first question was: “I’m the breadwinner, how the hell do I quit and still provide for my family?”
I know how to edit and market!! I’m diving in and setting this up. Thanks for this video!!
I'm in the same position 😭😭
I have been trying to hear my educational career towards one day on my own with credentials. I’m nearly there with doctorate. My brain spins day in and day out how to translate primary care np into a consulting/coaching business. This is where I’ve been STUCK!!!!
Skip to 7 minutes if you want to avoid the waffle...You're welcome!
Skip watching a video that doesn’t interest you and taking the time out of your day to comment and spend time building a biz ;)
Skipped thanks
make that 09:10
Constructive criticism: get to the point! lol
Well, I think she was trying to tell her story and what led up to that decision.
This has helped me so much
Ur vids are always helpful 🥇
Wow this has been so incredibly helpful. Thank you 🥺🙏🏽
Just because there are many different avenues to do like graphic design, video editing, it doesn’t mean that you will find clients or make money off of it. The market is saturated with freelancers and it’s not as easy as you are making it sound like to just ‘start’ a freelance business.
Of course not - a video teaching you everything you need to do to be successful would be hours long - not a RUclips video. The point here is to spark an idea because it IS that easy. If someone realizes they CAN do something, they can figure out the other pieces. And, coming from someone who’s done it - it’s not hard to find clients, you just have to be dedicated
I love this! Hoping to be my own boss one day ☺️
Where there’s a will there’s a way!
This video is very inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
I have a love hate relationship with my job. I love my job but there are days that I loathe it so much I would rather work for myself. I’m definitely going to check on those sites you listed because I didn’t realize that’s what they were there for. I need to get something going in case I either get canned or so I can finally quit my 9-5.
I quit my job without an exit plan because a manager tried to attack me physically… I’m married so it’s been kind of ok financially but I have nothing coming in monetarily and I want to work for myself but not sure where to start
Jessica, you mentioned a key issue for me at the end. I'm planning to leave corporate before the end of this year, however, I provide medical insurance through my job. How do you handle health insurance? This is the biggest conundrum for me.
My health insurance is the reason I still work in corporate.
I went part-time at my corporate job this year and I lost my health insurance benefits because of it (most part-time employees aren't eligible for their company's insurance plans). To keep myself covered, I had to purchase my own individual health insurance plan. Most states offer financial assistance programs to help you pay for insurance. I live in California, so I applied for Covered CA and found a cheap plan with Kaiser Permanente. Not the greatest insurance plan, but I don't visit the doctor much anyway.
"Slavery's modern disguise: polished chains,
Branded souls, minds, and bodies sold in vain.
Well-dressed prisoners, smiling no more,
Emotionally butchered, paid to endure."
😢😢😢😢
Thank you for the advice, I love this channel! Just subscribed ✨I LOVE your content Jessica!
Left my job
Thanks for sharing
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Loved this video ! I’m looking to quit my job in the next year 🙌
I Quit Thanksgiving 2021, I have written over 5 business plans because since I was a kid I always wanted to be an entrepreneur and thought a home Enterprise kitchen was the way, but It unfortunately It fell through, and didn't feel right, In January I felt super lost, and immediately had to decide what the heck I would do. I have a lot of skills, and I'm thankful for that, but for volunteer work, I am a Communications Coordinator, in hopes it gives me skills, and possibly a job since I'm running out of Money..and I have to move, so I'll have $2 in my account by June... So I found your video a little too late, but I wish I watched this before I quit. HA
I'm in that longer runway and I'm cool with it. Working to find my stride and my voice.
I came to the comments to see the VA teachers you recommend (wondering if we have some people in common) but didn't see that in the description box.
I can edit photos and background erase photoshop
I’ve looked for remote jobs all over and they all end up being scammy or require a bachelors so they aren’t entry level etc
So many good ideas! Jessica, do you have the links to the people who teach VA skills? I didnt see it in the description. Thanks!
Hi! So ANYONE have any ideas for someone who has been in the food and beverage Industry as a bartender/server/cocktails in Las Vegas for 17 years? I rack my brain, but I just don't know! 😢
Your exactly right Jessica!
I wil ready to do
I would love to make a business in the digital world but need a mentor.
I have been wanting to work from home since I had my first kid 5 years ago. I feel like I’ve tried it all from MLM’s to Online WFH jobs but at the time no one was hiring.
I finally decided to start a YT channel this past January talking about things that interest me. And I feel that the past 5 years has helped me get the patience that I need to build up my channel and I’m really looking forward to the day I am monetized.
Jessica, I love your videos! I’ve been watching your content for about a year now and you are what helped me get the courage to start my own channel and I wanted the thank you. ❤️❤️
Yyyyyeeeessssss, oh my gosh I’m so excited for you
@@jessicastansberry thank you! ☺️❤️🥰
I'm a reseller who's trying to use my graphic design skills to make digital content and I've watched so many videos but I'm so lost on how to actually get started like step by step walk through.
Any ideas where I can learn how to do video editing. I have zero skills in this and just need a starting point so I can then develop it on my own. Thanks.
Do you still offer services where we can consult on what avenues there could be based on current skill? The story you mentioned about helping a client pick a business area even when she didn’t think she had any skills is the exact assistance I need and would pay for.
Yes! Email my team (howdy@heyjessica.com) any time and they can give you more info!
Oooo yes respect...
I already have the business. Is there a video on the actual step by step to quitting?
Thanks so much for this video :)
Jessica I do enjoy your videos! You are always upbeat and encouraging. I’m so glad I subscribed
We have the bus but things don't happen overnight... We are surviving but are scaling up now to bump up our income.
The problem with my previous skillset is that I hated doing the parts of the job that I could still do (support) and because of my body, I can't do the parts that I enjoyed. I have an art business that I've tried to build for the last 11 years. It's still only bringing in something like $50 a month. I have talked to so many coaches and fellow entrepreneurs without it making a difference. I do know that my mindset is in order. Several of them have told me so. It's just a tiny piece missing somewhere that will bring me over the top of the hill
Every dollar I make that didn't come from my job is a win for me even if it's only a dollar. It's MY dollar that I made.
Have u tried new marketing?
@@vlee7217 I've tried a lot of different marketing modeis the last 11 years. None have worked for my art as they're geared toward teaching or coaching
I’ve heard that being adaptable is crucial. If most of the marketing models are geared toward teaching and coaching, is there a way your art business could offer one of these options in addition?
@@rewireyourfire Since I don't have the surplus energy for it, I doubt it. I did try that teaching/coaching model but it burned me out with zero ROI.
I'm on a mission to start a business my goal is to get to that point, where my husband can leave the job he's miserable at he's a foreman literally they make him so everything, constantly threatening to fire everyone saying they don't need anyone.. which hmm they wouldn't be a business without everyone but okay😅🤦 and he's just so stressed and mentally exhausted slaving away for $30,000/yr we are struggling so bad with 3 younge babies, we don't have credit cards etc so if we don't have the money for something we just can't get it multiple times a week I'm getting food from food pantrys and trying to get help with bills every months I feel like I'm constantly just trying to survive struggling to focus on actually planning and starting a business! I'm also just very like Judy and criticize myself and never make any content to grow my socials etc. I would absolutely love to pick your brain!
How can I pay my rent. My bills. Healthcare. How? I’m single. No kids. I also help care my mom
Do you have to get 1000 subscribers in one year or can be added from more than one year to get to the next level on youtube?
Good
You mentioned in the video that you would put a link in the description of your friend who coaches Virtual Assistants to start their business, but I can't see it there. Are you able to add it please? Thanks :)
Check out the Virtual Saavy (www.thevirtualsavvy.com/community-2020/)!
What do I do I need guidance 😫
Hi Jessica, you mentioned linking info on your two friends that can help with starting a virtual assistant business but I don't see them in the description. Would it still be ok if you sent them over? Thanks
Personally, I find not getting married and having kids to be one big help lol
I was watching this, 2 1/2 mins in, I heard you say the c word I was over it
I’m so scared to leave my corporate job but also I’m so unhappy here. I just need the courage and know that everything works out for a reason! 🥴
"Irish Exit" ... I had to look that up, only English and Americans say that phrase, its not Irish at all. Probably originated from the English poking fun at the French leaving without saying goodbye. Perhaps the original ghosting, or "leaving like a thief", no goodbyes to anyone, just slipping out the door, but not Irish behavior. :-)
how do you do customer service from home ?, do i need to contact a business to work for them ?, how does that work ?
I have a SERIOUS question. I've been offered to work with Facebook Pages and ads exclusively. Can I also have a premium subscription at RUclips? I'm severely disabled & have time for a long haul. Should I stick with the pushy flaky weird demands @Facebook or go with something more stable like this?
I'm living the life I want. But I also want to be a RUclipsr. I'm trying 😊
I get it! We can want #allthethings
What about those of us who have been stay at home/homeschooling moms, out of the corporate workforce for 10 plus years? The way the world has changed, being a one income household is no longer working for us. Extra funds to start something is very small to none. Any suggestions on that?
What can you do? What are you good at. You can baby sit kids of the working mothers. Can you take pics? See what/where events are. Can you do hair maybe braiding or make hair accessories.
You said you love in America not a small island in Europe
Are you still coaching ?
Yes, I offer 1:1 sessions! Email my team (howdy@heyjessica.com) with any questions you have
Im an entrepreneur but need income
lot of jobs employees like their job, down the street is heb grocery, they make 14 to 15 a hour , their never hiring,, my job united supermarkets, 9 to 10 a hour, its a revolving door, no one wants to be there
I never really worked. Now what
I'm the first to watch
Why you tubers say 'you can make 1000 dollar a day selling digital products" when it's not true. It takes a while. They should use a disclaimer.
Another misleading headline that does not deliver.
about 9 minutes in and she haven't talked about the title.😬
I dont know my skills
6:00
Why in you videos do you always say leaving your corporate job. Not everyone got lucky enough to have a corporate job. Some of us have been working 2 full time jobs because there is other opportunities available to us.
Other people are smart too, we aren't worthless just because we are not in corporate.
First !
I cut my hours in half
land the f'''''''n plane
Uhhhhhuhhhhh.......blurry..........blurrrrryy
