I am 50 and been wanting to be my own boss for 30 years. Finally doing it. But now I have the experience in all facets of business to crush it. I am excited, but a little nervous but its time to push my boat away from the safe harbor.
I hated my job so i fired myself. I kept the job but only kept what unemployment would pay me and banked the rest. It hurt to have so little money. Soon i figured it out cutting expenses and living different. After 2 years i had banked enough to really quit and start a business. Now im making 4x what i was being paid at my job. Best move i ever made.
Thank you Codie for the great advice. I’m a college student, I work part time, and I have my own clothing line that I started last October. I’m not going to give up I’m going to keep going, but my career path is to become an actor, model, and stuntman.
Codie I love that you are giving this advice! I started a business that I worked during the day and worked nights at my full time job. It started because I needed to make more money and no one would hire me and the only option was to work for myself. I ended up quitting my job and working full time at my business which freed up time to add more side hustles. I then bought another bus which didn’t work out but was able to sell for more than I bought it for so I broke even. I had my life turned upside down and closed my business just at the point where I was really starting to grow. (I know stupid) I lost all confidence, moved away, tried 9-5 jobs and working my way up. I was miserable! I got married and am finally at a point where I feel like I can start again. Thank you for the motivation!
codie ur method worked! im a real estate agent as a side hustle and i texted all my friends (ive only got 6) if they're interested to buy a property from me. 2 of them said yes!!! i cannot believe this power of simply asking❤ thank you so much!!!!
No fluff, just truth bombs and motivation! I call this walking into the dream with your eyes open. There's challenges but if you want to move forward at a rapid pace you probably have to work at it like you never had before, I love the part about mediocrity and multitasking, it took me 20 years to figure that one out on my own... Worth every second !
The only Woman who inspires me the most is you, Codie! Definitely a Great content & not everyone in this World takes this much effort to improve People's life with actual practical realistic thoughts.
"2 hours of dedicated work is worth more than most peoples 8 hours". I have just placed an order of 6 stickers with these words because this advice is so profound yet simple but has made me achieve so much in the last two years when i stumbled on the deep work concept.
I am so glad I found this channel. I don't even know how it landed on my feed but thank God! This video and the thoughts in it are gold! Thank you so much and I am more excited than ever to start my own business. God bless you.
Just call and ask if they are interested your product. In all the side hustles it has been warm up the prospect create a lead magnet etc. have often wondered why. After watching this is seems to me to be easier to just and and less painfull.
I just found your podcast on Instagram sponsored! I’m so excited bc this is the kind of advice I’ve been searching for! Thank you for providing so much value! 🙌🏼
Really very solid, pragmatic advice. My only quibble is the part about not quitting the W-2 job until your 'side hustle' can pay all the bills...this sounds great in theory but in practice, most people will just get distracted and never reach that point and stay in their comfy W-2 job forever. What finally worked for me was having "NO PLAN B". Nothing focuses the mind like walking a tight-rope without a safety net.
I agree. The problem is, if you’re have responsibilities outside of yourself, you may be impacting them. If it’s just you and you can sleep on the folks couch for a bit while you grow, go for it! What’s the business btw?

Agree i know im not doing enough consistently in my side hustle. Im doing a reset and will follow the 2hr rule per day for the shuzzle. Been whining like a fkn little princess about wanting ro quit my job...that pays me well with great conditions. So pull the head in and do the xtra work to get the results. Im smart and can work hard ive been resisting sacrificing after work time cos im loaded like a donkey it seems (need to say no more) and now its time. Thanks for the punch between the eyes x
This almost seems like an outdated idea since things are changing so quickly. Sure, the typical 9 to 5 is not what most people prefer, but nowadays having the right one may actually be better than trying to grind away at this "start your own business" mantra. The business world is quite saturated and there are a lot of false promises. No job is safe and there are a lot of shifts happening, but maybe finding something secure and not flashy is becoming the new way to go. Cheers.
Let me add, if that’s how someone feels, nothing wrong with that whatsoever. There are a lot of great 9-5 jobs out there if that’s the model that works best for you. Just make sure that is YOUR decision and you aren’t just letting fear and self-doubt or someone on the internet tell you other people can have it a certain way, but not you.. THAT’S crap. Be aware of the difference and make your choices consciously.☝️
That’s true, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows either way. Some people would actually prefer the regular salary and being told what to do. They’re task oriented and thrive in that environment. Other people need the creativity, the challenge, the wins and losses to be engaged with life. For me personally, a 9-5 job feels like prison to me (I did it for 10 years). I’d rather make way less money, work more and call my own shots than live at a desk. People may think I’m crazy, I think they’re crazy, maybe we’re both right. 🙂
Fantastic video!!! Thank you for the information and the insight into these things. I sent the video to my sons because they have been talking about starting side hustles. I just subscribed to this channel!!
As a newbie that wants to invest, you must have these three things in mind 1. Have a long term mindset. 2. Be willing to take risk. 3. Be careful on money usage, if you're not spending to earn back, then stop spending. 4. Never claim to know - Ask questions and it's best you work with a financial advisor.
Nearing retirement from the military and am scared to death about what to do next. Been watching your videos like crazy hoping it sparks an idea so that I am no longer answering to the man, and can become the man.
Nice! I heard Codie rephrase one of my truisms: multi-tasking is non-tasking. I'm following some of your other advice about growing business volume through referrals and revenue through productizing. I'll keep coming back for more.
You are moste intelligent knowledge you are sharing in you are helping million of people whenderfull i learn so meany things from you in . Thank you and appreciated You are doing wonderful
Just joined an married the accountant daughters here 😅 lol and now working in the business... haha definitely not quiting, but i see so much potential with this company... just looking to see how we can automatize it or create systems to make sure this business can run by smoother with less weight on the accountant and honestly hire other accountants to work under us.
I felt the last segment. When I was in residential construction for over a decade, I saw many "owners" who just didn't do well with authority. They were babies that couldn't take criticism and wouldn't listen. "Unhireable," so to say. And, my wife is an accountant 😂
Great advice here about starting out. There is _always_ something you won't know how to do as you progress. When starting out, that list will be huge. Pitter patter, get moving and figure out what you need to figure out first anget figuring it out. For me, it was the sales part and asking for the money.
I kinda just got pushed off the cliff last year due to a layoff but I've weirdly made great money with Uber instead. Ironically I used to be a Big 4 accountant and I'm still way happier now
I just sent this to my wife who happens to be an accountant! If she was looking for confirmation to scale our side business, I think this was it. Haha!
I love your information. The roadblock I have had is people want to see work you have done for other customers. So getting the first one can be hard. Alex Hermozi suggests doing the first one for free but when you don't have funds to do the work, that can be difficult.
Exactly. My husband has been out of work for 5 months, finished his business plan today. He is heading to the bank for a business loan next week. However, his first contract job is food bank so pro bono. He will do it coz it’s skin in the game.
Since my landlord died and his sister is selling, I'm currently living in my mother's front living room. Building a large room in her attic, for my son and I, until I recoup for a few months and find another better place. At least I don't have to deal with the 3 roof leaks and don't have to punch the pipe in the basement to get the heat to turn on anymore.
Its that creative power , those 3 hours upon awakening , those 2 hours of the muse as they say , the 9-5 eats that up but there's a way around it , Saturday and Sunday mornings . Or at least I'm hoping this is the ( key) .
I think the biggest caveat that Codie's videos all seem to suffer from is that they all very obviously cater to younger people. I understand that she has to have a certain critical mass of impressionable minds in order to maintain a relevant online presence but there's a very hard reality that is missing from most of this content, older people want financial independence too.
I know what you are saying but I'd like to point out that that take comes from limitations we place on ourselves because of our more established habits, and also insecurities we have because we have more to risk/lose.
Many of your videos seem like you were talking about me. I've had many of the businesses over the years that you've talked about in your videos. And in this video you said some of the very things I've been through. In 2012 I met an MD in Chicago from an IB out of Manhattan. We talked about a lot of stuff over the 2 or 3 days at this event. I told him vaguely about one of the businesses I was working on since 2007. We didn't have an NDA so I didn't feel comfortable going into much detail. At the end of the week when it was all over he said that his company wanted to invest 5M (I was told this was their minimum) You may know if this even sounds right or not. I was a bit spooked by it once i really started considering it. Anyway I let that go at the time. So I don't know if this was something real or not. My three businesses (sister companies) are all in the same industry but serve different purposes. The lesser of the three does $42k per month from one client and usually on a 24 - 36 month contract. Lunch for two everyday is literally my expenses. Side note: I had a business when I was 17 that my family thought was a side hussle until they saw I was working only 4 hrs per day 2 days a week and was making $187k a year. Then they wanted a job. lol. This would be a good one to feature on one of your low start up businesses video. The contracts would probably be easier to land now since there's internet.
I might take issue with that gardening comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Really though, it's been a rollercoaster but I have made some money. This year is setting up to be amazing!
@@riselikeaneagle I didn't take over my business, I started it from the ground up. I'd say the biggest problem I've had over the years is scaling. I've delegated everything I can, but I'm still required. My goal was to systemize everything so I could do other things if and when I wanted. I cap out at around 100 clients and 4 projects. More than that and my sanity starts slipping.
SO.... owning a business is NOT a way out of the " rat-race". On the contrary, it is a way into an entirely different "rat-race" which far more work, worry, investment and RISK.
Codie, I wanted to follow your advice, but the only 2 hobbies I have are kinda obsolete now. So it is much too risky to bet it all on those hobbies - There is no way i can generate the same income I have now. So atm I am looking towards investments for retirement instead and holding out till 2032-2034 and quitting early there.
Hello Codie, I’m 27 and I am a Full Time Registered Nurse who works with the elderly. I love my profession and my residents but I’m getting burnt out. I have thought a lot in the past 4-6 months about my goals of purchasing real estate and a laundromat and starting a vending service and buying ATMs and setting them at certain locations. I don’t know where to start. What do you think.
I just recently found your content and I'm so happy that I did. I'm just at the point in my business where I really need to level up and your videos have been so helpful. Currently binging haha
For your plug for life insurance, a couple times my life insurance helped me protect my empire I was bldg by letting me borrow against it which isn’t ideal but it worked
What website do you use to find businesses for sale? I'm a contractor but looking to expand into other non seasonal sectors. Congratulations on your success, wish you all the best in all future endeavors
Great Video with all the videos and influencers the line gets blured. I am in my mid 40's no formal education. Because of my communication I was able to land a job as a techsupport manager making $70k and now after 4 years we may all get let go! Going back to school might be an option but I really don't think I can waste an additional 4 years w/o making money. I applied to several jobs and going back to $22 an hour just SUCKS! I've worked and trainined and talked with engineers for years. I just don't have a college degree! I am thinking of openining up a business but I am not sure in what. I don't know what to do....
I'm in very similar circumstances. There are tons of people retiring and selling their businesss. Much of them not advertising them. I am negotiating a deal on a 22 year old business right now. Can't wait to be my own boss.
I don't have 9-5, lifetime entrepreneur here. Tried probably300 business ideas and all failed. Running out of time money and energy. Can't lose my last bit of money. made money from some but sadly most no. Because I don't have a 9-5 to get financing for a senior care home I paid $30k to learn how. They didn't tell me I need a job to get financing. these are the brick walls I keep running into. Any ideas on how or where to get financing for a senior care home?
This is an absolute crazy question, but please kindly hear me out, its based on the 25 feet rule , is there anyway I can become your Assistant? (just incase if you have one , I will do double the job with Half the payment) I just wanna learn it all from you, how you manage people, how you handle your routine your relationships your roles !! I wanna learn from the best and be the best !!. I am currently living a student life(graduated )( I have a great knowledge about technology, machine learning (ai)) and have no actual pressures apart from doing well for myself , an opportunity like this would change my life !! and it would a gold struck for me !! Codie if you are reading this comment, know that I am an absolute hardworking smart guy. It would be great if you could give me an opportunity to grow and guide me, plus I can add a lot value to your business
Codie, it's not so easy with kids. The truth is that once you have kids in your 30s you are screwed on the side of side-hustling. Either you have your shot in 20s or then if you have kids in your 30s you're done. You come back in your 40s I guess, once the little buggers grow a bit...Kudos to all side-hustling parents there!
@@Styledmicasa Single parents hustlers are superheroes for me, they are unreal! Kudos to you for keeping up! We have a second child now - a 2 year old ( older daughter is 8) and I am really struggling to go back to side hustling even tho I exactly know what I want. For the most part it is because we have no routines and the little guy pretty much waste us all and we all fall down at 11pm. We need to change it, but so far it is more in terms of talk than execution. But, he will grow, it is going to get better.
"Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right." Point is, it's your mindset that matters. If you think you can do it, you'll find a way. If you think you can't, you'll only find excuses to 'rationalize' why you're not.

You got this! best of luck
@@pathtofreedomandwisdom Thank you!
You're doing great!!
You got this young man! Ah to be 50 again. (I'm 52.)
I love this, about to the same. I’m 30 and have been working giving my all since 14.
I really appreciate what you do, I think it is a shame that there isn't more entrepreneurs sharing knowledge and encouragement
I hated my job so i fired myself. I kept the job but only kept what unemployment would pay me and banked the rest. It hurt to have so little money. Soon i figured it out cutting expenses and living different. After 2 years i had banked enough to really quit and start a business. Now im making 4x what i was being paid at my job.
Best move i ever made.
What kind of business did you go into, if you don’t mind my asking?
I love what you said, what you did!
Thank you Codie for the great advice. I’m a college student, I work part time, and I have my own clothing line that I started last October. I’m not going to give up I’m going to keep going, but my career path is to become an actor, model, and stuntman.
You're right. I tried quitting my job before to chase my dream. Didn't work well.
Do it again, stick through it 💯💯💯
This is actually very rational and honest advice.
Thanks Codie, keep bringing the killer stuff.
Codie I love that you are giving this advice! I started a business that I worked during the day and worked nights at my full time job. It started because I needed to make more money and no one would hire me and the only option was to work for myself.

Thank you for the motivation!
codie ur method worked! im a real estate agent as a side hustle and i texted all my friends (ive only got 6) if they're interested to buy a property from me. 2 of them said yes!!! i cannot believe this power of simply asking❤ thank you so much!!!!
Thank you for this comment
No fluff, just truth bombs and motivation! I call this walking into the dream with your eyes open. There's challenges but if you want to move forward at a rapid pace you probably have to work at it like you never had before, I love the part about mediocrity and multitasking, it took me 20 years to figure that one out on my own...

I have been doing the business thing for 7 years, left the job in April, you are right it is not the money but a decision.
Really very solid, pragmatic advice.

I agree. The problem is, if you’re have responsibilities outside of yourself, you may be impacting them.
If it’s just you and you can sleep on the folks couch for a bit while you grow, go for it!
What’s the business btw?

This is the greatest advice of all time
I felt the last segment. When I was in residential construction for over a decade, I saw many "owners" who just didn't do well with authority. They were babies that couldn't take criticism and wouldn't listen. "Unhireable," so to say.

I think the biggest caveat that Codie's videos all seem to suffer from is that they all very obviously cater to younger people. I understand that she has to have a certain critical mass of impressionable minds in order to maintain a relevant online presence but there's a very hard reality that is missing from most of this content, older people want financial independence too.
What do you think I’m missing and you want to know?
I know what you are saying but I'd like to point out that that take comes from limitations we place on ourselves because of our more established habits, and also insecurities we have because we have more to risk/lose.
I am also curious about this. Seems to me an older person could also follow the advice she gives here if they had a focus and plan

This is a really good advice. Thank you for making this video.
Promising roadmap ahead: Revux strategic vision unfolds!
Please come to the UK? 🇬🇧 🤩 Thank you for these videos x
I might take issue with that gardening comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Really though, it's been a rollercoaster but I have made some money. This year is setting up to be amazing!
t seems like there are so many things to think about. What was the biggest problem you faced during this first year of taking over your business?
@@riselikeaneagle I didn't take over my business, I started it from the ground up. I'd say the biggest problem I've had over the years is scaling. I've delegated everything I can, but I'm still required. My goal was to systemize everything so I could do other things if and when I wanted. I cap out at around 100 clients and 4 projects. More than that and my sanity starts slipping.
SO.... owning a business is NOT a way out of the " rat-race". On the contrary, it is a way into an entirely different "rat-race" which far more work, worry, investment and RISK.
I like the Action Cody at the start. And this is good advice.
Loving the dynamic start to the video!
Great video My friend, This is really good advice and perspective 👌❤️ best regards from Finland 🇫🇮
Part 2 please. Thanks for sharing.
lol accounting was the WORSE! Felt like Groundhog Day
Hi Codie, love your energy and all the golden nuggets you've shared! 👏
Codie, I wanted to follow your advice, but the only 2 hobbies I have are kinda obsolete now.
So it is much too risky to bet it all on those hobbies - There is no way i can generate the same income I have now.
So atm I am looking towards investments for retirement instead and holding out till 2032-2034 and quitting early there.
Fitness is right up my alley
Hello Codie, I’m 27 and I am a Full Time Registered Nurse who works with the elderly. I love my profession and my residents but I’m getting burnt out. I have thought a lot in the past 4-6 months about my goals of purchasing real estate and a laundromat and starting a vending service and buying ATMs and setting them at certain locations. I don’t know where to start. What do you think.
OMG Ex-Accountant here looool Great video Codie!
GOLD. Thank you 🤠
I’m ready for this!
I just recently found your content and I'm so happy that I did. I'm just at the point in my business where I really need to level up and your videos have been so helpful. Currently binging haha
Would you mind putting a language rating on your videos so I can know which, if any, I can share with my daughters?
For your plug for life insurance, a couple times my life insurance helped me protect my empire I was bldg by letting me borrow against it which isn’t ideal but it worked
What website do you use to find businesses for sale? I'm a contractor but looking to expand into other non seasonal sectors. Congratulations on your success, wish you all the best in all future endeavors
Great video! I love your energy
Great Video with all the videos and influencers the line gets blured. I am in my mid 40's no formal education. Because of my communication I was able to land a job as a techsupport manager making $70k and now after 4 years we may all get let go! Going back to school might be an option but I really don't think I can waste an additional 4 years w/o making money. I applied to several jobs and going back to $22 an hour just SUCKS! I've worked and trainined and talked with engineers for years. I just don't have a college degree! I am thinking of openining up a business but I am not sure in what. I don't know what to do....
I'm in very similar circumstances. There are tons of people retiring and selling their businesss. Much of them not advertising them. I am negotiating a deal on a 22 year old business right now. Can't wait to be my own boss.
Thank you for the reply! Good luck with you investments
I don't have 9-5, lifetime entrepreneur here. Tried probably300 business ideas and all failed. Running out of time money and energy. Can't lose my last bit of money. made money from some but sadly most no. Because I don't have a 9-5 to get financing for a senior care home I paid $30k to learn how. They didn't tell me I need a job to get financing. these are the brick walls I keep running into. Any ideas on how or where to get financing for a senior care home?
I want a blanket contract to present to my local businesses to buy them.
The link is not working… please fix
I 100% agree with this!!!
Great video! This is really good advice and perspective!👍
Very knowledgeable videooo! Thanks Codieee
This is an absolute crazy question, but please kindly hear me out, its based on the 25 feet rule , is there anyway I can become your Assistant? (just incase if you have one , I will do double the job with Half the payment) I just wanna learn it all from you, how you manage people, how you handle your routine your relationships your roles !!
I wanna learn from the best and be the best !!.
I am currently living a student life(graduated )( I have a great knowledge about technology, machine learning (ai)) and have no actual pressures apart from doing well for myself , an opportunity like this would change my life !! and it would a gold struck for me !!
Codie if you are reading this comment, know that I am an absolute hardworking smart guy.
It would be great if you could give me an opportunity to grow and guide me, plus I can add a lot value to your business
Plenty of people want that. What do you have to offer?
WHAT WOULD U SUGGEST ME TO LEARN AND MASTER IT TO GAIN FINANCIAL STABILITY WHILE IN MY CoLLEAGE IF IAM A PERSON WHO JUST FINISHED MY SCHOOL.
Codie, it's not so easy with kids. The truth is that once you have kids in your 30s you are screwed on the side of side-hustling. Either you have your shot in 20s or then if you have kids in your 30s you're done. You come back in your 40s I guess, once the little buggers grow a bit...Kudos to all side-hustling parents there!
So tough with kids especially if you are a single parent. I was able to have my husband’s help and have a side hustle even with little kids
@@Styledmicasa Single parents hustlers are superheroes for me, they are unreal! Kudos to you for keeping up! We have a second child now - a 2 year old ( older daughter is 8) and I am really struggling to go back to side hustling even tho I exactly know what I want. For the most part it is because we have no routines and the little guy pretty much waste us all and we all fall down at 11pm. We need to change it, but so far it is more in terms of talk than execution. But, he will grow, it is going to get better.
Ok you got that off your chest now what
Are you going to do about it starting today?🤔
"Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right."
Point is, it's your mindset that matters. If you think you can do it, you'll find a way. If you think you can't, you'll only find excuses to 'rationalize' why you're not.
"Ownership = FREEDOM" 🗽 Allways!
WOW!!! This is so helpful! Thank you!!!
I love it. Thanks Codie❤
Love the accountant bit
16:34 Would love to see the source for this statistic? That's a staggering number if true!
