Hey guys earlier when we first published the video there was a mistake with the link - now it’s been corrected so click on the above and you’ll get to enjoy a free month of Skillshare! 🤙🏼
Did the same 12 months ago and have never looked back. Your time is precious so if you have a financial plan in place it's better to spend your time improving the quality of your life, particularly physical and mental health.
You are correct mental health did take a big fall since the pandemic. But not many companies talk about it and my company never did ask how I was and all the staff was. Just profits like always.
Another inspiring video, Jean...I love this quote by Marianne Williamson...“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us."
Hi Suresh, thank you for sharing your quote from Marianne - love the last part about how it is our light that’s most frightening to ourselves. So true when one thinks about it 🤔🤔🤔
That's probably the most adorable way possible to start a video on this topic! Cute cow aside, really appreciated your pragmatic take towards managing and minimizing one 's fears - after quitting my job, a number of people had the perception that I had suddenly summoned up the courage to do so when actually there had been many months of working to overcome my fears beforehand. Also love that you bring up that even if you're jobless and you need money, you can figure something out with your background and a healthy mind and body - so true!
Prize for Best Comment on this vid definitely goes to you! 🙏😄 People always like to think change is one big impressive stride when they look at other people who have actually executed change, but like you said, successful change is inevitably the result of many accumulative little steps forward, inch by inch, unseen behind the scenes. It took me months as well. Actually i remember i was obsessed with the idea of quitting for so long, everyday, it became inexorable for me. I guess that's what they mean when they say "pure hell forces action" haha. And yeah they always make quitting the job sound like the end of the world. Bollocks. So many other ways to make a livelihood out there. Cheers to u n me both!
@@JeanVoronkova Wow thanks for your kind and thoughtful reply! I couldn't agree with you more, and appreciate hearing about your own journey behind the scenes (also describing quitting as "inexorable" is a great way to put it). Wishing you all the best!

Working on getting the courage to retire. I've been ther 1/2 my life (28 yrs). I'm nervous because I like the people I work with. I do not want to let them down. They are like family. Most people will think I'm crazy for sure. I'm only 56. We will kot have health insurance... but are fairly healthy. You named some of my fears. I appreciate this video. Thank you.

WOW thank you for posting this. I got to the point where I was so sick of my job and feeling depleted that I'd just stay in my apt the entire day and this helps me to get out and do something.
hi Michael, i'm so happy to know this video was helpful to someone out there. Thank you for letting me know! Good luck with the big step you're taking!!!
Valuable content Jean. I am also planning to give up my full time job for a more balanced and fulfilling life as a creative. Content you are sharing is extremely helpful to get there practically. Thank you 😊
This video is amazing. You took on fear and even confessed an understanding on how governments & corporations use it to their advantage! A breath of fresh air. Never give up on your dreams or yourself and not taking the 1st step
thank you. We've been all subject to a lot of government manipulation in the past 2 years... some of it for public health reasons... but the extent of that vs insiduous reasons is always debatable. The quality of your leaders is always so important. I hope you are working on your dreams and all the best with your endeavours!
thank you Allen, i'm very appreciative! You're the first ever super thanks on this channel for us, and i'm very glad its a response to this particular video. I hope you achieve your dreams whatever they may be.
Hi Jean! Am watching your Video from Nederland, We live in bali before and Now We planning to go back but as you said there’s lot of concern in our mind even we knew our foundation is strong enough
Jean 💘Your videos are really soothing my fears right now. I've already announced my 3 months "break" from my corporate job. I didn't hate my job, and I feel very grateful to have such a good job as I have rigth now.. The "only" problem is that I know that I am wasting my time there, my soul came here to do something totally different, and I strive to do something more meaningful and impactful. So here it came.. after many many years, I found the courage to do it and in April I am heading to Thailand. Finally do some more in depth traveling and exploration. Then I will go to Bali (if it's gonna be possible this year due to covid restrictions). Oh, how much I wish to meet you there! :) But I know you must be 'famous' now and cannot meet with everyone from your fans :) It would be amazing though, if by some coincidence I'll stumble upon you and Vitali :) Thank u for doing these videos about Bali😌 and about encouraging people to follow their dreams. We have to!! Otherwise what's the point on living... seriously.. good luck to all of us guys.. great things and adventures are awaiting for us 💘💘
Hi Lenka, thank you for this kind note and for sharing something so personal to you. I'm really happy to hear you are following your soul's calling.... that's the whole point right, if there is a strong inner calling we shd heed it and live our days to the fullest. Your plans for Thailand and Bali sound exciting and i know it's gonna be a huge time of positive change and personal growth fpr you because doing such stuff always leads to that! we're just ordinary folks V and I but we are indeed a bit shy n reclusive so we just generally mind our own business quietly in the Uluwatu area... but if u do see us please come say hi! Bali is a small place actually haha I've met lots of people impromptu already. All the best and u shd be so happy moving forwards with your plans n life!!!!
Thank you so much for this wonderful video, I'll show it to my daughter who just quit her job, it would definitely give her a boost to achieve her dreams and leave the routine path.
thank you Mira that's a huge compliment that u think our video of such value, I hope we make a positive difference to your daughter's thoughts. That'll make all our work w the videos meaningful 😍
The Cows!!!! So adorable! I’m on my second week of my two week resignation just 5 more days to FREEDOM and I don’t have a job lined up I’m withdrawing my 401K and starting a business
the cost of inaction... in fact.. gives me the click to dare ;) thank you, i have to coach my brain back ;) thanks ;) your channel will help for sure, i will explore your inspiring channel to put me in the good positive mindset ;) positive soul ;)
Thanks for the awesome video. Many good reminders for my journey.. I have always faced my fears head on. I think what has held me back is due to missing pieces of information on how to put all of my received information together. Or maybe just an awakening that forces it. I had to see that I was a slave to my bills and my way of life even though I had been making good money. Then I got sick of it, lowered bills, started investing, etc., and meow I am focusing all of my energy on a few things, one being financial wealth within 5 years.. thanks again🙏
heya thanks for sharing the story of your own journey! Sounds like you already have developed a good consciousness of what may be holding you back (the lifestyle and letting money control our lives etc.) and thats the really important first step towards taking back control, now that you've identified the issue areas. Also u're right about the "awakening". It's like how millions of people read all those books by successful people about how they got successful but then we put the books and the things we learnt right away after we finished, waiting for a kick in the head before we take action maybe 😂. Take little steps forward day by day i think and one gets there eventually. But we must move forward each day even if just by a little bit!
Thank you Jean!!! I chanced upon your video and have watched 3 of them on topics about your quitting a corporate job and living life in Bali, generating income at the same time. It is inspiring yet relatable and in fact very doable, all within our own (stretched) capabilities and means. I have forwarded your videos to my group of friends and also younger gen friends (in their 30s) so that they too could discover the real joy of living life to the fullest with financial harmony, and most importantly not be controlled by money (the past and anyone!). So thank you for your videos! Let's all step up, step out and just do it; be smart about it while you're at it. Make your money work for you while you live and experience joy!
Love it! I quitted my job too to build my own business (wirewrap acessories). It was good at first years (2018-2019) but the corona came, and things upside down now.
heya! That was a brave move by you to quit your job and start your own business. Vitaly & I were running a tourism-related business in Vietnam too after I quit, and that was also destroyed by the pandemic totally (cos u know, tourism :/ )... but fortunately we still managed to make our way through the last 2 years focusing on other stuff. Hope you manage to find solutions to managing your business through these corona years. We gotta be flexible with life & business now cos so many unexpected fast changes! Take care and all the best.
@@raphaelsimamora7087 glad to hear u pivoted to something else and all the best with that! w all that WFH people must be taking up indoor plants at a higher rate, so that sounds like a good idea :)
@@JeanVoronkova yes that's what i was thinking. When Covid came, people looking for more entertainment, hobby, etc at home. That's when i looked at the niche.
Amazing video 👍 Thank you. I've always wanted to live in Asia near the beach, near the jungle and practice martial arts, play music, do yoga, and live in peace in tune with God and nature. Money is not very important to me as I see it as only a means toward an end. Wealth means more to me than a processed piece of wood with ink on it. Anywho, the spirit is more important than money. I've thought about living in an ashram or monastery, but I'm human and like to have fun, I couldn't give up everything. But, fear has never been what held me back, but my lack of desire for money and realization that setting goals leads to disappoint has
My biggest fear is to raise money to buy a property that i see is a great investment for years to come. Spoke to my girlfriend over the whole month of July and till now there is still this fear of "what if" after watching your video, i felt better and i will try to overcome this in my own ways. Thanks for the wonderful video Jean.
the reality is that it can always happen that your expectations for your property doesn't materialise. I m also in a similar situation - bought something expensive in Singapore that didnt bring the ROI that i expected so far (its been a decade!) - still, i have enforced savings in the value of the property in the form of mortgage payments that paid off the capital, and its still mine to cash in at the right point of time in the future. Most important is that buying this property didn't limit my chances of doing other investments that turned out better. IT just took time to save again and do other stuff again. Actualise the fears and have an action plan to deal with - that always helps a lot for me!
thank you for letting me know i made a difference! It makes my work w the videos meaningful, thanks! All the best with your journey i bet it'll be fantastic!
glad the video hit the spot for you then Ading! hope u actually sit down and do the fearsetting exercise it is incredibly helpful for taking action i think. All the best. Rooting for you!
YOU ARE MY GEM! I hope I can have you as my little secret gem for a while before your channel blows up ❤️ and then I have to share you with other millions subscribers.. I really love your content.. Take care of you self🙏🏻
I left my country (Spain) 22 years ago. I am still young, early 40s. I now have three nationalities and my wife (she is British/Chinese) and I have three properties and quite good savings, probably for the next 25 or 30 years. Its our dream to retire early and for that we didnt have children and we have been saving as much as possible for a few years... as I write this we have 775 days (2 years and 1 month approx) to retire according to the cash flow we planned... but we are both extremely tired and considering stopping now... we have been to Bali several times and are discussing about moving there in the next 4 or 5 months and stop... but I am scare. When I left Spain I studied two degrees but was getting paid just enough to survive. Once my salary increased we bought properties so it was all about saving/investing... but in the past few years things are different. Now I make around $250k per year and my wife is not far from that. And still, the weird thing is that now that we have properties, lots of savings... we are affraid to quit such great jobs, particulalry becuase we dont have much longer to go. I would like to move to Bali in September, my company would hold my position for 4 months, and see how it goes.. relax, live life a little... but I am extremely scared and concerned that its inmature to do it now when we have just a couple of years to tick all the boxes. At the same time, we no longer go out on weekends, we just live in the sofa watching movies and saving... we are both tired and depressed. We have been working very hard for a long time and while we are both healthy, some minor health issues are appearing now, mainly to do with the fact that we dont exercise/go out at all. I was quite poor when younger and now that we have all this money, properties and pension plans I am still scare... I think 10 more of your videos and we go for it :) Thanks!
The first ones you mentioned are exactly what I fear when I quit this job. How will I pay my mortgage, hospital bills, what if I become homeless, what if I beg for someone's money in order for me to have food. But apparently, I realized that I will never run out of job offer because of my degree, so I am quietly quitting my job by doing the bare minimum of the workloads, I know that it sounds selfish but I don't find fulfillment doing my current job. I am actually grateful with this job, because of this I could start a new life after 2 or 3 years. This job helps me survive and plan for my future, but I know in the visceral part of me telling that I could do something else that could help me thrive and be fulfilled.
i think you sound pretty intelligent and conscious about what you want which makes the most important difference in life. Being able to delay instant gratification for longer term goals is an important factor in getting to your truly important goals. I salute u Romy, and rooting for your success! I'm actually trying to film now my own story in detail. How i went from quitting to our current life in Bali. Hopefully that'll be out next Saturday if you're interested :)
Wow! You're totally amazing, Jean! What an absolutely wonderful message you have sent out there to your peeps! By the way, i am not confident doing what you do so perfectly and that is to speak to so many people on video as openly and honestly as you do, and making yourself so vulnerable. You are such a courageous woman! Thank you once again for all you do, Jean, bye for now and regards to Vitaly!
thank u Alan, just putting my thoughts out there like flicking spaghetti on the walls and seeing what sticks really 😂 but it does seem to make a difference to some (who find themselves in similar situation like i was in) so that's meaningful to me 🙏😄 By the way we went Kintamani over the New Year hols.... vlog upcoming on that this Saturday keep an eye out!
@@JeanVoronkova Hi Jean and Vitaly! hahaha Great analogy! Yes, I can imagine that your wonderful words must make a big difference in the lives of some and the responses / reactions would have to be so very meaningful to you, Jean. You certainly have a good channel here and lots of faithful followers. Good on you guys! Oh, okay, great! Thank you for the heads up on the Kintamani vlog! I will go check that out, must have missed it somehow?! I shall also keep my eye out for your latest instalment this weekend! I don't watch too much RUclips to be honest but I love your channel and I love Damian and Winny's, too! Stay safe, Jean and Vitaly!
@@lalanbond1203 ooh hehe the kintamani vlog is upcoming for this Saturday! Just got excited editing it so told u in advance hehe! I’ll check out that other channel u dropped! Thanks for sharing! 🙏🙏🙏🤙🏼
@@JeanVoronkova Oh, okay, cool! Sorry, misunderstood, Jean! Thank you so much for getting back to me again. Yeah, Damian and Winny call themselves The Monkeys! Mum, Dad and me watch them every night and we have become like family with them now. Actually, I feel the same kind of bond with you and Vitaly, Jean but I should get onto RUclips more to catch up with all your vlogs ;). I feel like I am letting you down :(. Like I said, I don't really watch much RUclips other than you, Vitaly, Damian and Winny.
Hi, current playing, and excited about this. Even tho been 2years since I started having my own income from different ways of generating, I am still looking forward to learn new things from here. Your content, thoughts, experience are highly motivating, with the mix of your chosen back ground, settings and your smile is uplifting pal.
Never be tired to hear motivational quotes, messages, experiences from the people that you think can help you in whatever field you have choosen, and use that for your self to face more of your fear and uncertainties in life, In careful ways i hope. ❤🔥
Hi Giana, lovely to meet you 😄 thank you for visiting this space and i'm glad the video resonated with you! Also, yes that was a very very unusual cow! like a puppy really he was so curious. He even licked me and nosed the camera 😂 i wanted to bring him home!
@@JeanVoronkova Thanks. My husband and I are considering living in Bali. As foreigners, what type of visa allows someone to live and work in Bali? Maybe the lead topic to a video?
thanks for this kind msg. You make all the work that went into this video worthwhile, because you fulfiled the reason why it was made! glad it helped u! I wish u all the best in moving towards your dream.
You get the freedom to live life on your own terms.... not your boss... not the company... not anyone else's? I never quit blindly. I thought about it until it drove me mad that i wasn't doing it and then i went off and did it, but during the time in between i planned what i was going to do next, i took care of my liabilities, sold my car, rented out my apartment etc. And thought about what i would do if things didn't work out. It's all set out in this video.....
i really wanted to bring that cow home he was like a puppy! Thank you Dom i'm glad u liked the video. Next upcoming vlog covers our travels over the New Year to Kintamani - gorgeous volcanic mountain views! Hope u will enjoy that too 🙏😄 Happy new year!
Positivity n “awoke-ness” is sky rocketing from your channel Hope more people understand y financial freedom is the TOP sort after criteria to actually live life not survive Peace out
yessssss...... i always felt like i was just surviving when working and living in Singapore. Life on Automation i used to call it, and the govt was my brain. I just had to sleepwalk through each day. Now i actually feel alive. Thank god. Cheers Songtian happy new year. By the way we traveled Kintamani over the new year period, vlog coming this saturday! hope u like.
Lol! Thanks, but I think more accurately put is me inserting myself into their foreground 🤣 other than the one friendly fella the rest of them are generally rather unbiddable! 🤣
Time, heatlh, age lots ppl forgot to manage for the future. Ppl tend to drown in comfort zone, do job as long as no trouble then get paid. Well what if something bad happen? Everything will be ended in a regret for not though it for future step investment or passive support. U really inspire me a lot 😊
This is very inspiring for those who are thinking of changing the way they live their lives but don't know how to start the change! fears are deff something that holds people back from pursuing what they really want! I agree starting with baby steps is essential to begin this change! u look so so pretty
Jean, you are inspiring. After watching your video, I am starting to read booksabout investment and thinking to start a food business when I am done with PhD.
Hi Melvi, thank you for your note. Hearing comments like that really motivate me because it shows the videos do make a difference. Thank you! We really like food business ideas too (thinking of a food truck someday cos Vitaly loves BBQ haha) but we think moscow wd be a better location than bali for smtg like that. Books on investments rock! I am also currently reading smtg called The Status Game its good!
Hello 😃 Nothing succeeds I want to change myself First of all, it is very important to think concretely of your ideal self! Thank you for watching the wonderful video 🙏🇯🇵🤝🇸🇬 👍
😅😅😅 they r so real ok! I was for a time actually the example held up to scare the young cousins in our large Asian family into toeing the line. The black sheep so to speak.
Wow Jean another extraordinary video, you always inspire us and give us brilliant messages, all you said are so true, most of the time fear is the main reason why we don't want for a change, we used to stay to our comfort zone, this is so helpful awww, superb thank you, love it 💝💯🤗
Subscribing to you has been such a good decision for me! I’ve enjoyed this video very much - Huge like, Thanks for all your efforts and energy spent into making this one! What a fine job!! 💚
Thanks Jean another really good video, I'm just about to take that step myself, my plan was to work on the first issue and knowledge base the point where i can focus the majority of my time on the things important to me and my family. I've definitely been too conservative and getting married and bringing a life into this world in covid times makes me question my decision, but not enough to change my mind. Thanks again for you wisdom, kindness and intelligence 🙏
Hey Vlad, thanks for this kind note I'm glad you found the video helpful. It has been observed in the US and in Singapore that there have been 2 opposing (& rather extreme in both cases) responses to the Covid pandemic. It's either made people (esp the younger ones) very risk averse (ie: hang on to job no matter what you suffer in it) or very YOLO! I don't believe in an extreme emotional response to anything but i do think the issue of being happy with what you do for your life's work is important and critical that people figure out how to do the best for themselves, step by step even tho progress is gonna always be slow. I'm sure your baby will also bring you the most joy and happiness and even more love into your union, just factor that into the overall equation and move forward with each new day :) You can do it!
I want to become completely free! Financially free, free to spend my time how I choose for the first time, free to create and share my art and creativity with the world and overcome my fears of failure and a life of misery. I believe in and love all of you and sending you vibrations of joy, healing, and freedom!
Great Video Jean. Are you still in Bali? I moved to Panestenan Ubud in November. Just tossed it all in and lived where I feel is home, Bali. I'm just getting my KITAS next week, try to do some work from then on. All the best to you.

I didn't hate my job, and I feel very grateful to have such a good job as I have rigth now.. The "only" problem is that I know that I am wasting my time there, my soul came here to do something totally different, and I strive to do something more meaningful and impactful. So here it came.. after many many years, I found the courage to do it and in April I am heading to Thailand. Finally do some more in depth traveling and exploration. Then I will go to Bali (if it's gonna be possible this year due to covid restrictions). Oh, how much I wish to meet you there! :) But I know you must be 'famous' now and cannot meet with everyone from your fans :) It would be amazing though, if by some coincidence I'll stumble upon you and Vitali :) Thank u for doing these videos about Bali😌 and about encouraging people to follow their dreams. We have to!! Otherwise what's the point on living... seriously.. good luck to all of us guys.. great things and adventures are awaiting for us 💘💘
Hi Lenka, thank you for this kind note and for sharing something so personal to you. I'm really happy to hear you are following your soul's calling.... that's the whole point right, if there is a strong inner calling we shd heed it and live our days to the fullest. Your plans for Thailand and Bali sound exciting and i know it's gonna be a huge time of positive change and personal growth fpr you because doing such stuff always leads to that! we're just ordinary folks V and I but we are indeed a bit shy n reclusive so we just generally mind our own business quietly in the Uluwatu area... but if u do see us please come say hi! Bali is a small place actually haha I've met lots of people impromptu already. All the best and u shd be so happy moving forwards with your plans n life!!!!
@@JeanVoronkova 💘💘💘
Thank you so much for this wonderful video, I'll show it to my daughter who just quit her job, it would definitely give her a boost to achieve her dreams and leave the routine path.
thank you Mira that's a huge compliment that u think our video of such value, I hope we make a positive difference to your daughter's thoughts. That'll make all our work w the videos meaningful 😍
@@JeanVoronkovaThank you so much, and best of luck to you and your channel.
@@mirayadingabay5520 thank u Mira I really appreciate that! 🙏😄👍🏼
I wish I have a supporting mother like you ❤️
@@hannyfebrianty Thank you dear wish you all the best and to have the courage to choose your own path and to fulfill your dreams🌻💛💛💛
Love the background . I am 53 and planning another 5 years to semi-retire. Looking forward to your lifestyle .
the awesome nature of Bali! 5 years is only a short time more! Enjoy the journey :)
Who else randomly started watching and now have became the biggest fan of him yay
Ah hem…”her”. Copy n paste yes
The Cows!!!! So adorable! I’m on my second week of my two week resignation just 5 more days to FREEDOM and I don’t have a job lined up I’m withdrawing my 401K and starting a business
Yay oh I remember how I was tugging at the leash when I was at the same moment in time. Enjoy the freedom. Embrace the leap 😊
the cost of inaction... in fact.. gives me the click to dare ;) thank you, i have to coach my brain back ;) thanks ;) your channel will help for sure, i will explore your inspiring channel to put me in the good positive mindset ;) positive soul ;)
Thanks for the awesome video. Many good reminders for my journey.. I have always faced my fears head on. I think what has held me back is due to missing pieces of information on how to put all of my received information together. Or maybe just an awakening that forces it. I had to see that I was a slave to my bills and my way of life even though I had been making good money. Then I got sick of it, lowered bills, started investing, etc., and meow I am focusing all of my energy on a few things, one being financial wealth within 5 years.. thanks again🙏
heya thanks for sharing the story of your own journey! Sounds like you already have developed a good consciousness of what may be holding you back (the lifestyle and letting money control our lives etc.) and thats the really important first step towards taking back control, now that you've identified the issue areas. Also u're right about the "awakening". It's like how millions of people read all those books by successful people about how they got successful but then we put the books and the things we learnt right away after we finished, waiting for a kick in the head before we take action maybe 😂. Take little steps forward day by day i think and one gets there eventually. But we must move forward each day even if just by a little bit!
Excellent sharing Jean😊 I lost all my subscribed channels for a couple of months. Glad to be subscribed again
Hi Sonny, sorry to hear you lost your channels... so glad u found us again! thank you for rounding back to us. Hope you enjoy this space 🙏 🤗 🌻
I want to meet you Jean. You speak directly to the soul brain mind heart whatever we call it!
Thank you Jean!!! I chanced upon your video and have watched 3 of them on topics about your quitting a corporate job and living life in Bali, generating income at the same time. It is inspiring yet relatable and in fact very doable, all within our own (stretched) capabilities and means. I have forwarded your videos to my group of friends and also younger gen friends (in their 30s) so that they too could discover the real joy of living life to the fullest with financial harmony, and most importantly not be controlled by money (the past and anyone!). So thank you for your videos! Let's all step up, step out and just do it; be smart about it while you're at it. Make your money work for you while you live and experience joy!
Love it! I quitted my job too to build my own business (wirewrap acessories). It was good at first years (2018-2019) but the corona came, and things upside down now.
heya! That was a brave move by you to quit your job and start your own business. Vitaly & I were running a tourism-related business in Vietnam too after I quit, and that was also destroyed by the pandemic totally (cos u know, tourism :/ )... but fortunately we still managed to make our way through the last 2 years focusing on other stuff. Hope you manage to find solutions to managing your business through these corona years. We gotta be flexible with life & business now cos so many unexpected fast changes! Take care and all the best.
i'm doing ecommerce now selling pots for indoor plants. Altough it's moving very slow I've never been feel alive than sitting in an office :D
@@raphaelsimamora7087 glad to hear u pivoted to something else and all the best with that! w all that WFH people must be taking up indoor plants at a higher rate, so that sounds like a good idea :)
@@JeanVoronkova yes that's what i was thinking. When Covid came, people looking for more entertainment, hobby, etc at home. That's when i looked at the niche.
Yes, its our own head the one limiting our action....
Hopely soon... Nice to see your videos so inspiring
glad this video was of value to u! 🙏😄 thanks for letting me know!
your journey has been inspiring to those who are caught in the daily grinding...
thanks Leslie. We were brave and also very fortunate. All the best if you're also taking similar steps :)
Amazing video 👍 Thank you. I've always wanted to live in Asia near the beach, near the jungle and practice martial arts, play music, do yoga, and live in peace in tune with God and nature. Money is not very important to me as I see it as only a means toward an end. Wealth means more to me than a processed piece of wood with ink on it. Anywho, the spirit is more important than money. I've thought about living in an ashram or monastery, but I'm human and like to have fun, I couldn't give up everything. But, fear has never been what held me back, but my lack of desire for money and realization that setting goals leads to disappoint has
What a lovely cow. Really enjoyed watching your channel. I have subscribed to your lovely channel 💕. Many Many thanks from Chris and Jane ❤
cheers guys!
Thank you for all of your sharing of new lifestyles. I am so happy for your success in this life changing journey. So inspiring!
Thank you so much Lavender! I'm very appreciative of your support and kind sentiments!
My biggest fear is to raise money to buy a property that i see is a great investment for years to come. Spoke to my girlfriend over the whole month of July and till now there is still this fear of "what if" after watching your video, i felt better and i will try to overcome this in my own ways. Thanks for the wonderful video Jean.
the reality is that it can always happen that your expectations for your property doesn't materialise. I m also in a similar situation - bought something expensive in Singapore that didnt bring the ROI that i expected so far (its been a decade!) - still, i have enforced savings in the value of the property in the form of mortgage payments that paid off the capital, and its still mine to cash in at the right point of time in the future. Most important is that buying this property didn't limit my chances of doing other investments that turned out better. IT just took time to save again and do other stuff again. Actualise the fears and have an action plan to deal with - that always helps a lot for me!
Awesome video. The only place that FEAR can exist is in our thought of future. “Fear make us prisoner”
Thank you so much for sharing.
hope it's of some value to you!
Great and inspiring video Jean. All the very best wishes to you for a Successful 2022 ahead. Cheers TC
thank u Alistair, i'm glad u found the video of some value! Happy new year 2022 to you too and all success with the endeavours! whatever they may be!

YOU ARE MY GEM!
I hope I can have you as my little secret gem for a while before your channel blows up ❤️ and then I have to share you with other millions subscribers..
I really love your content..
Take care of you self🙏🏻
🙏😄 thanks pal!
Very nice video ❤️
Happy new year Mary!
Great stuff, wonderful video. “Feel the fear and do it anyways” 👍💯
thanks Japjot! That's probably the one most important sentence in the video u got it bang on! 😂
I left my country (Spain) 22 years ago. I am still young, early 40s. I now have three nationalities and my wife (she is British/Chinese) and I have three properties and quite good savings, probably for the next 25 or 30 years. Its our dream to retire early and for that we didnt have children and we have been saving as much as possible for a few years... as I write this we have 775 days (2 years and 1 month approx) to retire according to the cash flow we planned... but we are both extremely tired and considering stopping now... we have been to Bali several times and are discussing about moving there in the next 4 or 5 months and stop... but I am scare.
When I left Spain I studied two degrees but was getting paid just enough to survive. Once my salary increased we bought properties so it was all about saving/investing... but in the past few years things are different. Now I make around $250k per year and my wife is not far from that. And still, the weird thing is that now that we have properties, lots of savings... we are affraid to quit such great jobs, particulalry becuase we dont have much longer to go. I would like to move to Bali in September, my company would hold my position for 4 months, and see how it goes.. relax, live life a little... but I am extremely scared and concerned that its inmature to do it now when we have just a couple of years to tick all the boxes.
At the same time, we no longer go out on weekends, we just live in the sofa watching movies and saving... we are both tired and depressed. We have been working very hard for a long time and while we are both healthy, some minor health issues are appearing now, mainly to do with the fact that we dont exercise/go out at all. I was quite poor when younger and now that we have all this money, properties and pension plans I am still scare... I think 10 more of your videos and we go for it :) Thanks!
The first ones you mentioned are exactly what I fear when I quit this job. How will I pay my mortgage, hospital bills, what if I become homeless, what if I beg for someone's money in order for me to have food. But apparently, I realized that I will never run out of job offer because of my degree, so I am quietly quitting my job by doing the bare minimum of the workloads, I know that it sounds selfish but I don't find fulfillment doing my current job. I am actually grateful with this job, because of this I could start a new life after 2 or 3 years. This job helps me survive and plan for my future, but I know in the visceral part of me telling that I could do something else that could help me thrive and be fulfilled.
i think you sound pretty intelligent and conscious about what you want which makes the most important difference in life. Being able to delay instant gratification for longer term goals is an important factor in getting to your truly important goals. I salute u Romy, and rooting for your success! I'm actually trying to film now my own story in detail. How i went from quitting to our current life in Bali. Hopefully that'll be out next Saturday if you're interested :)
This is nice topic to us, I am motivated this video thank you for sharing the idea.
thank you! 🙏😄 i'm so glad the video was of value to u!
Wow! You're totally amazing, Jean! What an absolutely wonderful message you have sent out there to your peeps! By the way, i am not confident doing what you do so perfectly and that is to speak to so many people on video as openly and honestly as you do, and making yourself so vulnerable. You are such a courageous woman! Thank you once again for all you do, Jean, bye for now and regards to Vitaly!
thank u Alan, just putting my thoughts out there like flicking spaghetti on the walls and seeing what sticks really 😂 but it does seem to make a difference to some (who find themselves in similar situation like i was in) so that's meaningful to me 🙏😄 By the way we went Kintamani over the New Year hols.... vlog upcoming on that this Saturday keep an eye out!
@@JeanVoronkova Hi Jean and Vitaly! hahaha Great analogy! Yes, I can imagine that your wonderful words must make a big difference in the lives of some and the responses / reactions would have to be so very meaningful to you, Jean. You certainly have a good channel here and lots of faithful followers. Good on you guys! Oh, okay, great! Thank you for the heads up on the Kintamani vlog! I will go check that out, must have missed it somehow?! I shall also keep my eye out for your latest instalment this weekend! I don't watch too much RUclips to be honest but I love your channel and I love Damian and Winny's, too! Stay safe, Jean and Vitaly!
@@lalanbond1203 ooh hehe the kintamani vlog is upcoming for this Saturday! Just got excited editing it so told u in advance hehe! I’ll check out that other channel u dropped! Thanks for sharing! 🙏🙏🙏🤙🏼
@@JeanVoronkova Oh, okay, cool! Sorry, misunderstood, Jean! Thank you so much for getting back to me again. Yeah, Damian and Winny call themselves The Monkeys! Mum, Dad and me watch them every night and we have become like family with them now. Actually, I feel the same kind of bond with you and Vitaly, Jean but I should get onto RUclips more to catch up with all your vlogs ;). I feel like I am letting you down :(. Like I said, I don't really watch much RUclips other than you, Vitaly, Damian and Winny.
Hi, current playing, and excited about this.
Even tho been 2years since I started having my own income from different ways of generating,
I am still looking forward to learn new things from here.
Your content, thoughts, experience are highly motivating, with the mix of your chosen back ground, settings and your smile is uplifting pal.
Never be tired to hear motivational quotes, messages, experiences from the people that you think can help you in whatever field you have choosen, and use that for your self to face more of your fear and uncertainties in life,
In careful ways i hope. ❤🔥
Hello Jean, thanks for your videos. Very inspiring. I loved, lived the cows! I'm a animal lover!
Hi Giana, lovely to meet you 😄 thank you for visiting this space and i'm glad the video resonated with you! Also, yes that was a very very unusual cow! like a puppy really he was so curious. He even licked me and nosed the camera 😂 i wanted to bring him home!
@@JeanVoronkova Thanks. My husband and I are considering living in Bali. As foreigners, what type of visa allows someone to live and work in Bali? Maybe the lead topic to a video?
thankyou for making this video, such an insipiration to me
You’re very welcome. Thank u for letting me know I made a difference to someone, it’s very motivating 🙏☺️
I LOVE this video! Such an good and practical approach to deal with fears of the unknown! Really helpful for me!
thanks for this kind msg. You make all the work that went into this video worthwhile, because you fulfiled the reason why it was made! glad it helped u! I wish u all the best in moving towards your dream.
Please make video, what are the things we should be clear before blindly quitting the job? what is the advantage we get by quitting?
You get the freedom to live life on your own terms.... not your boss... not the company... not anyone else's? I never quit blindly. I thought about it until it drove me mad that i wasn't doing it and then i went off and did it, but during the time in between i planned what i was going to do next, i took care of my liabilities, sold my car, rented out my apartment etc. And thought about what i would do if things didn't work out. It's all set out in this video.....
God bless you and thank you
Thank you too
true beliefer = NO FEAR
Very motivational
thank you Marconio i'm glad the video resonated! 🙏😄
That is a beautiful cow, and the video quality is so beautiful. This is a good topics you touched on. I'm always interested in what you have to say.
i really wanted to bring that cow home he was like a puppy! Thank you Dom i'm glad u liked the video. Next upcoming vlog covers our travels over the New Year to Kintamani - gorgeous volcanic mountain views! Hope u will enjoy that too 🙏😄 Happy new year!
thanks for enlightment. happy new year
Happy new year! glad the vid resonated with you n hope it helps some!
Positivity n “awoke-ness” is sky rocketing from your channel
Hope more people understand y financial freedom is the TOP sort after criteria to actually live life not survive
Peace out
yessssss...... i always felt like i was just surviving when working and living in Singapore. Life on Automation i used to call it, and the govt was my brain. I just had to sleepwalk through each day. Now i actually feel alive. Thank god. Cheers Songtian happy new year. By the way we traveled Kintamani over the new year period, vlog coming this saturday! hope u like.
I like the cows in the background … nice touch Jean
Lol! Thanks, but I think more accurately put is me inserting myself into their foreground 🤣 other than the one friendly fella the rest of them are generally rather unbiddable! 🤣
Wonderful video with a great message, best wishes from Germany 🇩🇪 ❤️
hi back to you in Germany! Happy the video resonated with you 🙏😄
Good info thank you x
Glad the video helped give u guys some ideas! Let us know how the move translates for u guys :)
Time, heatlh, age lots ppl forgot to manage for the future. Ppl tend to drown in comfort zone, do job as long as no trouble then get paid. Well what if something bad happen? Everything will be ended in a regret for not though it for future step investment or passive support. U really inspire me a lot 😊
very helpful
I always look forward to your videos.
aww thank u Dmango! Always good to see u! By the way we traveled Kintamani over the new year period, vlog coming this saturday! hope u like.
You are inspiring, the perspective I needed before the next step
all the best for that next step! rooting for you. Its nice once you've gone past the difficult bit i promise haha
This is very inspiring for those who are thinking of changing the way they live their lives but don't know how to start the change! fears are deff something that holds people back from pursuing what they really want! I agree starting with baby steps is essential to begin this change! u look so so pretty
always so good to see u Alice dear Happy new year to you too xoxo
So Thoughtful.
Thank u 🙏🤗
Your videos are amazing and inspiring. You have a great personality
thank you, you're too kind. I hope the videos were of use to you in some way.
@@JeanVoronkova They are :) Have fun in Bali!
Jean, you are inspiring. After watching your video, I am starting to read booksabout investment and thinking to start a food business when I am done with PhD.
Hi Melvi, thank you for your note. Hearing comments like that really motivate me because it shows the videos do make a difference. Thank you! We really like food business ideas too (thinking of a food truck someday cos Vitaly loves BBQ haha) but we think moscow wd be a better location than bali for smtg like that. Books on investments rock! I am also currently reading smtg called The Status Game its good!
Hi Jen! Happy 2022 🎶🎊🎈
thank you! Happy 2022 to u too 🙏😄
Your voice is so soothing
aww thanks! 🙏😄
Hello 😃
Nothing succeeds
I want to change myself
First of all, it is very important to think concretely of your ideal self!
Thank you for watching the wonderful video 🙏🇯🇵🤝🇸🇬
👍
so true!
your a great communicator😀im.like watching tedtalk
😂 wah i love Tedtalks myself, so thank you very much, and i hope the video msgs make a difference to you!
i love all those fears. esp your cautionary tale :-)
😅😅😅 they r so real ok! I was for a time actually the example held up to scare the young cousins in our large Asian family into toeing the line. The black sheep so to speak.
That is so good! We enjoy it. Thank you for sharing my friend
thnank u!
Thanks for sharing us
thank you for visiting!
Wow Jean another extraordinary video, you always inspire us and give us brilliant messages, all you said are so true, most of the time fear is the main reason why we don't want for a change, we used to stay to our comfort zone, this is so helpful awww, superb thank you, love it 💝💯🤗
😘 thank you SL dear!
Wow that's very cool and interesting vidz my friend.
Glad you enjoyed it
Subscribing to you has been such a good decision for me! I’ve enjoyed this video very much - Huge like, Thanks for all your efforts and energy spent into making this one! What a fine job!! 💚
Awesome! Thank you for the kind note!
the other great inspirations jean, 👍👍👍
thank u Khalil i hope u try out the fearsetting cost benefits analysis and that it helps u!
Thanks Jean another really good video, I'm just about to take that step myself, my plan was to work on the first issue and knowledge base the point where i can focus the majority of my time on the things important to me and my family. I've definitely been too conservative and getting married and bringing a life into this world in covid times makes me question my decision, but not enough to change my mind. Thanks again for you wisdom, kindness and intelligence 🙏
Hey Vlad, thanks for this kind note I'm glad you found the video helpful. It has been observed in the US and in Singapore that there have been 2 opposing (& rather extreme in both cases) responses to the Covid pandemic. It's either made people (esp the younger ones) very risk averse (ie: hang on to job no matter what you suffer in it) or very YOLO! I don't believe in an extreme emotional response to anything but i do think the issue of being happy with what you do for your life's work is important and critical that people figure out how to do the best for themselves, step by step even tho progress is gonna always be slow. I'm sure your baby will also bring you the most joy and happiness and even more love into your union, just factor that into the overall equation and move forward with each new day :) You can do it!
Love your channel❤❤
thanks Michael 🙏😄By the way we traveled Kintamani over the new year period, vlog coming this saturday! keep an eye out!
I want to become completely free! Financially free, free to spend my time how I choose for the first time, free to create and share my art and creativity with the world and overcome my fears of failure and a life of misery. I believe in and love all of you and sending you vibrations of joy, healing, and freedom!
thank you! love your positivity and totally feelin the vibes!
@@JeanVoronkova thank you 🙏🏾
" Regret things you have done, not the things you haven't"..Peace and JAYoe
exactly! Always better to get out there n do it instead of spending the end of your life wondering about what if.
Not everybody like you guys can discover the beauty of fear by taking actions. Good Luck .
but u can too, if u want to. Therein lies the beauty!
Great Video Jean. Are you still in Bali? I moved to Panestenan Ubud in November. Just tossed it all in and lived where I feel is home, Bali. I'm just getting my KITAS next week, try to do some work from then on. All the best to you.
Hi Dave, yes we’re here for the long haul hopefully 😄 congrats on the Kitas! This is a nice time now to be in Bali minus the crowds, enjoy while it lasts! 😈
Very inspiring message. Everyone has fear and and it depends on how we face it. As usual, great message! :)
hey girly so nice to see you and happy new year! it's been a while! hope u're well
Hi Jean, thank you for this beautiful positive message. You exude good energy and a joie de vivre. It's nice to see😊
haha thanks mate i wish i cd hv brought the cow home! 🙏😄
