Getting rich is not even the problem, the problem is that you have no time for anything else except resting after the work. *Your salary is the trap that they use for keeping you there. And your salary is not enough to set you free but enough to keep you alive.*
I'm an orthopedic surgeon so money is not a problem. Maybe people need to figure very early what job will pay much and then go all in with willpower and brain power development. Then with the high salary , buy stocks and get even wealthier. Easy :)
I've sent my resignation to my office recently. I can't and never want to do this again my entire life. My fam runs a business and I'll just learn from them and open my own business
I'm in the military and I am burnt out and hate it. Unlike other 9-5 jobs your forced to work crazy hours on a crappy salary with silly rules and half the time your just waiting around. Can't wait to separate and chase after my dreams of working for myself and working on things that make me happy everyday and excited to go to work
I’ve been working at a warehouse job for the past three years and let me tell you. The cycle of it has almost completely robbed me of my life. I work like crazy just to come home exhausted. By the time I wake up it’s pretty much time for me to go back into work. It’s psychological torture. I’ve decided to quit at the end of this month. I can’t live like this
But after strict rules of youtube monitization sometimes its difficult to make money on youtube channel. So its better to do 9 - 5 if u really need money.
Cute fortune cookie advice. Dime a dozen on these type of videos. Everyone has to sacrifice something for money in this world. Just because those glitzy band glamorous gurus tell you its EZ street to riches, doesnt mean you wont sacrifice ALOT of your time working for yourself. Actually, a lot more sacrifices have to be given. And dont be entitled and naive to think just because you work for yourself and sacrificed, that riches, wealth and power are a given. You can very easily work very hard and end up with nothing. Ive met many ppl who worked for themselves who were very happy to go back to being an employee!!!
Yeah but then the law catches up to them and they're earning .10 cents in comencary. Years in prison for what? A few years of freedom? Not worth it . Neither is a god forsaken 9 to 5 but I'm taking 9-5 over selling poison to ppl in exchange for their soul.
This is so true 9-5s are bs jobs. I complete all my work the first 3hrs of being at my job and then there is this weird tension because you know there is nothing else to do but your boss will say you are not doing anything so you have to find things to do.
And the thing I realize about bosses is that they literally and personally don’t care about you. Why would they care about you? Lol all they care about is themselves and how much they make. There so fake…
I work a 9-5 job and thank you for doing this and pushing people like me who hates sitting in the office and doing nothing just to do it again the next day! I’m really determined to start my entrepreneurship and becoming my own boss!
Imtiaz Khan saved up everything until I had 6 months of expenses, then quit, decided if I couldn’t employ my self in that time, I’d get another job. But everything is going well, mainly this channel (my channel) is what’s helped me pay the bills now 🙌🙌
Adam thank you so much for responding promptly. Am really amazed how you realised you had to quit the rat race forever and live your dreams. You are absolutely blessed. I always wanted to become a RUclipsr for many years but can't get my head around on what to make videos on. It just seems impossible. I recently got a 9-5 job a couple of months ago having lost my previous job to the pandemic and it feels like I am stuck for life. I really want to get out of this. I want to feel what its like never having to work for anyone ever again!! I want to see the look on my manager's face when I tell them I now have an online business and don't need this job!! But this to me seems like a distant dream.
I felt everything you said in this video, currently been WFH since beginning of the pandemic and I honestly only work for few hours from the 8, but still get the work done. Can't wait to leave the 9-5 rat race.
Nowadays that technology + internet combined has literally change the world . There are so many ways to earn money , to learn and lots opportunities . I am having doubts if my parents teachings are still correct. " Do you know why poor people are still poor ? It is because they did not finish college." For me I don't think that this is the true reason . They just don't find ways to grow and seek a better life.
In croatia if you finish high school 3 or 4 or 5 years, then want to get on college waste another 4-5 years, then you work as cleaning guy or waither. No jobs, crisis etc. Witch is sad that you wasted your time on college or school. Only thing is you work 7-3 or 8-4. Only town Zagreb Main Town Mosly has 9-5 witch sucks! I honestly dont know what to work here. Because i have 3 years school and part of croatia where i live was hitted by strong eathquake and situation is bad.. So yea. School means nothing here you have school you cant work what you finished. You dont have school cant get job. You have college you work something else. Curruption is also huge and if you get job they expect you to work multiple things in same time, then nobody respects workers, then people are rude on jobs, nervous etc etc etc. So yea, thats why i cant find job that i will like or i dont wanna work becase people are stressing me because of their behavior.
This is great advice. A lot of us are working from home right now, so we definitely have the time. Work for your company for 4 hours work on your goals for the rest of your day. Thanks a lot
I spent all my 20’s working a job, my current job it takes me hour to get there to and from an i work 50-60 hours a week. Jobs don’t give you a 2 week notice when they fire you but when you quit you’re expected to give them a heads up.
Its not always about the money. A 9-5 can definitely make you rich, if you work for big tech firms like you said or work at investment banks where you could pull a million a year with 6 to 8 yrs experience. But it demands your very soul, you can pretty much kiss freedom goodbye. Youre not likely to quit your job and start something by age 32 because you lack the skills to freelance as you have spent the bulk of your time working for somebody else. You also find it hard to have a big pay cut, because starting out in self employment are usually bumpy rides with little to no income. I dont understand the whole "spend 10 years working a 9-5 and building equity". Equity is nothing when you dont know what to do with it.
Never get into the mortgage industry absolutely no work life balance at ALL. It’s a depressing field. I’m trying my hardest to get out of this 9-5 trap before I loose my mind.
I've been self employed doing my own thing for 2years and recently just started a 9to5. And after first day, I realized why I went self employed in the first place. I'm stay here for maybe 2 months and I'm out. I cant do it anymore
Same here bro, I literally cannot I CANNOT work a job, I hate listening to people telling me what to do and thinking they’re better than you because they make 50¢ or 2$ more per hour, it’s literally so pathetic Not to mention the pay is mediocre and the hours are long
@@realtruth1448 yea man, I dont care what anyone say. Working a 9 to 5 is terrible, especially for a person that already has experience being a entrepreneur and then having to go back for a short time. Man it's the worst
I hate making other people rich when they are rich and I see myself poorer when I work with a boss who counting bunch of money in front of me, and then I am just lurking with his cents income.
This pandemic changed things a bit because i currently work 2 jobs and i have a side hustle. Working from home has made my side hustle easier to fit into my schedule. I appreciate you and people who encourage growth because no matter where you are in life as long as you stick with it you shall succeed. Thanks for putting up encouraging content.
Always felt this way my whole life about a 9 to 5. Life is for living and more important than money is time. Ask yourself what is worth trading your limited valuable time to make money? For me thats definitely not a 9-5 Most people don't even ask themselves this question. How much time we trade to work these 9 to 5s only to be unhappy. I have been thinking about this for a long time. I'm actually at a crossroads where I could actually become a full-time ups driver and make 6 figures....but its long hours and hard physical work. I plan on starting my own amazon FBA business and get out of the 9 to 5 prison where I could potentially make double or triple the amount and have full control of how I use my time.
This video is so inspiring, I'm currently balancing a fulltime job and youtube. My dream is to be a health & fitness entrepreneur so I can quit my job eventually and do something I'm genuinely passionate about. You're so right about flexibility, I am someone who hates monotony (I get bored really easily), so doing the same thing over and over again just doesn't stimulate me.... thank you for making this video!
I literally can’t stand it. I’m a marketer so my job isn’t even that bad but I need to get out ASAP, I’ve only been full time employed for 4 months; the thought I’d doing this for another 40-0 years is unimaginable!!! I’m gonna take the plunge and start a business next year - worst comes to worse and I fail I can get a job again - but it won’t fail 🙏
It’s obvious that the 9-5 is torture for so many, but it confuses me how many still spend much on their disposable income on things they don’t need. It’s like those 40hrs they grinded through were for nothing 🤦♂️
I you are spot on! I’ve been in Corporate America for over 20 years. I will be turning in my notice in a few months! I don’t know how I made it that long!
Most people are working from home, there is more flexibility. No need to get up super early and commute. So add additional 2 hours of extra free time after work :) 5 Hours to work on side hustle
Just earn 100$ for just 2hours today offering video editing as a freelance editor. So different from 20$ per day to my corporate job here in philippines. Thank you so much. for your videos. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I'm sitting here ready to Quit, im starting to feel under appreciated and over worked while them make their money. I appreciate this motivation, because I have created my own MOBILE AUTOMOTIVE LLC but don't know where to start...
I work as an engineer and spend 50+ hours a week on dirty building sites and contaminated land. No aspect of my job interests me and it consumes my life, I hate it with a passion but feel now that I have no other skills with which to start a new career or work for myself
I'm working 9 to 5 now only for 3 months so I can afford a vehicle to do delivery work as part time OR full time if need be. As it's self employed it's up to me who much I work. This is so I can take time to work on other things which will bring me more money in the near future. Only ever work a 9 to 5 as a stepping stone.
i’m just 13 years old but i’ve made my mind up about 9-5. No. that’s why i’m arleady starting to work on how to escape it for the long term (with help of parents of course) I’m also homeschooled so i get more time. Real school is trash. It just teaches you how to become a gangster.
I believe in the end, whether the money comes from your own business or working 9-5, the ultimate financial freedom is when your disciplined enough to put away earned income for assets; specifically buy and hold real estate.
1. Greedy CEOs I've worked several jobs and have dealt with the extremes of stress, the biggest being in the Army. After 22 years of being in the workforce I've come to a resolution if I ever owned a business and made millions a year, I would share a lot of it with workers, especially if their efforts were good and they helped the company. I'd live in a low middle class home, I'd be absorbed in the work, but giveback to employees. In the Army I saw the extremes of hazing and leadership abuse, and it was an experience I carried into the civilian world, but I shouldn't have held so much fear and submission in situations, yet the military teaches people to be mindless slaves so I suffered a lot out of the military. I believe if I hadn't gone in the Army id be a better person today, but the military changes people.
Its a system they give you that much money that you need to Comeback these people dont want you to become rich they want you to keep coming back and work for little money
It all depends on who you work for 9 to 5. For example you are an accountant but in company A you feel like its is draining your soul but in company B you feel great and you are moving up. It all comes down to which company you work for. Some companies are very boring, some are ok, and others are really fun. You still work 9 to 5 40 hours a week for the company that you love which offers great pay, flexible hours, great benefits, great people and management to work with, always room to learn and grow, and other positive things as well. It's not like all 9-5s are terrible. You can have a 9-5 that pays more than $100k just in wage with great benefits and flexibility. It all depends who you work for not all 9 to 5 jobs suck.
9-5 jobs is modern slavery! Your boss controls your mind, behavior, your mood, and basically your life! Life is too short! You spend the whole day in your cubicle, add traffic, you get home watch tv or stare at your phone, go to bed, repeat. It’s a cycle that will rob your life away from you without realizing it.
I agree! However, I have no idea how to get out of it. I don’t want to freelance because it’s kind of the same thing and I won’t be motivated. I’m thinking something with social media..
The way I see it, a salary job is nothing more than a lifeboat. It's designed to keep you afloat and prevent you from sinking. It is not a cruise ship, a yacht, nor a speed boat. It's a handy tool for survival, but it will seldom propel you to newer and better horizons. If you desire to go above and beyond, you must develop a strategy and carve a path to get there. A boss or employer is never going to do it for you. Point blank.
I've been working a 60 hour week(12 hour days, monday to friday), as a security operative for the past 2 years. Its too long and depressing. Only decided to do it 2 years ago, just to top up my funds, but its so tedious now.
U just need to get in transfering money van. There time flys and u go on drink all the time with your mate, or get postion where u only watch tv hah. Worst thing is working in the bank coz u need to stand almost full shift…
The 3 hour of focus time statistic made me laugh man. That's something everyone feels in their work day for sure but it's crazy to hear that it's proven haha. I totally agree with your viewpoint. Freedom and happiness should be considered heavily when working for sure!
I am so over the 9 to 5 but, I don't even know where to begin! I also was unable to continue for my bachelors because i had to take care of family. Now i just started a new 9 to 5 and I am completely depressed.
Well, if you’re not a self-discipline person, I think it’s difficult for most people to be a freelancer or entrepreneur. Freelancing jobs are unstable and difficult too because you are competing with everyone in the world. You don’t want to get a low wage projects. Just my personal thoughts at this moment. I agree with your perspective because we all want freedom and good income. The ways of earning money has been changing.
I wasted nearly 20 years of my life at a 9 to 5. Not worth it in the end, unless you get into contracting self employed work or college degree field employment.
I met kody.fxt from insta last year the first time at a conference in USA Texas 🇺🇸, I invested £26,000 and trade in one month making close to £158,770.
Thank you . I feel like when you say this out loud to people look at you crazy! It’s so true! It’s so refreshing to hear someone say what I’ve been feeling
It's true I'm burnt out and working in this corporate 9-5 atmosphere. I do some work here and there but it's soul crushing the money is average just enough to keep you hanging on but honestly not enough for anything more. My brain is so clocked out in the morning especially during morning huddles. Humans can't be creative and provide good quality of work while I'm sitting and starting at a screen meeting after meeting. It's stale and so demotivating.
My last job actually affected my health. I had to quit in order to get my health back on track. But I'm felling the pressure to get another full time job. I don't want too but I don't know what else to do.
Sorry to hear that Craig and I hope your arthritis gets better. Think about the skills you have that pay a high hourly wage and start your own service based business, that's how I started out
I’m only 17 years old and I’m working part time as a waitress and I hate it so much , yes the everyday money is good and all but I dread coming to work and ACTUAL being here at work 🤧😭 I already have a RUclips channel , and that’s what I want to do full time . Im this 🤏🏼 close to quitting my job !! Y’all help me out 😩
This video is an excellent video because you are totally correct. You’ll never get rich working at 9 to 5 job. I am passed the age of retirement and I’ve already had to go back to work for a year now. I’ve tried businesses. They are successful for about 10 years and then they leave. You are very inspirational and motivational and I have watched all your videos and I look forward to the next one that’s coming out or I rewatch some of the other ones that you have done thank you so much Charlie.
I never used my PTO and maxed it out to the point where I had to be forced to take time off. I usually got all my job done in 3 hrs and then negotiated with my manager to let me go home early if I hit XYZ goals before lunch. When I started managing I couldn’t do that but my reps would want me to do the same and I had major FOMO.
Thinking to leave this 9 to 5 paradox...it’s not even 9 to 5 it’s 9 to infinity...they expect us to come in on time n leave as late as possible. Fuck that. Life is not at all satisfactory
I met kody.fxt from insta last year the first time at a conference in USA Texas 🇺🇸, I invested £26,000 and trade in one month making close to £158,770.
❤❤❤ I literally got off work like what am I doing with me life ! Everything Charlie said was super accurate only work a few hours and the remaining time I sit and wonder how it feels to be free!! Thank You for the encouragement!!!
Problem is that the bills don't stop if you don't do a job. Freelance is harder because you don't know where your next project is coming from. The best jobs are govt jobs but they're hard to get.
Stability - at will employer can fire you at any time, yet you have to provide 2 week notice Benefits - 401k that is now worthless because economy tanked due to covid Overtime - employers never give more than 40 hours unless contract in which you could make less than minimum wage Bonuses - you made your employer so much money they give you a small extra, which is a flat amount rather than what you generated (unless in sales)

Those people that hate their 9 to 5 are those that hate the company they work for. On the other hand, those people who love their 9 to 5 are those you love the company they work for. It's not so much as in 9 to 5 but who you work for.
@@lexheart5877 Well the only ways to grow in your professional field is "work experience" Work experience is what makes one grow in whatever professional field they are in. Bro I love to spend my time to do other things besides going to work but you know what if I don't go to work and "gain experience" which is only achieved at work not in some silly University textbook I won't be able to become a CPA tomorrow and make more money than what I'm making today. Also per your youtube video title you are correct 9-5 will not make you rich but what makes you rich is what you do with the money you receive when pay day comes around. Do you spend it on useless stuff or do you invest?
A family member who signed a military contract at 18 once told me to never sign away your time. I laughed because I was contracted as a university ambassador at the time and had to live how was most “presentable”. This did save me a lot of judgement bc I “fit it and did the right things” but now that I’m in a 9-5 where I signed over 52 weeks of my life every year to make a salary I couldn’t live on without my partner’s help, I so so so understand where they were coming from. And I know they say owning a business and everything is a job that you never stop working so it ends up being more than 9-5, but I feel like online related jobs aren’t like that. Also, if I didn’t want to work a given day, or had a vacation coming up, I could just save up for it or make sure I had some things backlogged. No counting PTO. No bargaining “two weeks” and some change of time off that isn’t even two weeks (14days) because only the week days count….
My fiancé was listing his house for sale and as usual hired a photographer to take pictures. His photographer shared he's been making close to 500k a year freelancing and will retire before 40.
I'm blessed I work a so called 9 to 5 job, I got a share in the company, earn 160 plus, working from home and able to do what ever I want, I spent most of my day looking at buying business etc
I think the worst thing about the workforce is some people are literally stuck doing 9-5's because majority of better paying jobs have a lot more requirements and experience & expect you to know what your doing already Regardless if there's training for it🤦 some people have learning disabilities or other issues and can't pick up on marketing jobs or actual careers better than others. And other specific training for jobs are requirements based off of trade schools or other training facilities that you need a lot of money for.
This helped me sooooooo much man I really appreciate you for this cuz everybody else beat around the bush when telling us this kind of information and you told it allllll thank you !!!
Is not that easy. Otherwise everyone would work for themselves. If you have to pay rent, or if you have kids you have to have a steady income. The route is have a 9-5 and build your side hustle which can be exhausting
I use to work 4-5 hours a day I had less money but felt less stress now I work 8-9 hours a day I make more money now but after work I’m so tired of standing all day it’s painful I was just thinking to myself is it worth working 8 hours almost everyday .. I might quit soon but I need to find something else better
The thing too is these days we're almost still broke even working jobs. If you are like him or me and you have infinite different interests and want to start that business, just do it and get started. Life is too short and things aren't getting easier here in America
Not to be mean but if you’re that person in the office that actually has a skill going to waste, quit your 9-5 to monetize it. Look around the room. Some of your current coworkers are NPCs who aren’t artists, can’t write, can’t share content…can’t do anything other than follow someone else’s orders. If that isn’t you, leave. It’s worth it.
I'm very productive and focus in the morning, but after lunch it gets SOOOOO boring, that I just start working and watching videos or listening to music at the same time and now they're complaining about my bad work. So get bored everyday and keep your job or just whatever I can't stand it and be fired and then start all over in another company????
I met kody.fxt from insta last year the first time at a conference in USA Texas 🇺🇸, I invested £2,000 and trade in one month making close to £20,770...i now work from home
Getting rich is not even the problem, the problem is that you have no time for anything else except resting after the work. *Your salary is the trap that they use for keeping you there. And your salary is not enough to set you free but enough to keep you alive.*
Well said!

In croatia if you finish high school 3 or 4 or 5 years, then want to get on college waste another 4-5 years, then you work as cleaning guy or waither. No jobs, crisis etc. Witch is sad that you wasted your time on college or school.
Only thing is you work 7-3 or 8-4.
Only town Zagreb Main Town Mosly has 9-5 witch sucks! I honestly dont know what to work here. Because i have 3 years school and part of croatia where i live was hitted by strong eathquake and situation is bad.. So yea. School means nothing here you have school you cant work what you finished. You dont have school cant get job.
You have college you work something else.
Curruption is also huge and if you get job they expect you to work multiple things in same time, then nobody respects workers, then people are rude on jobs, nervous etc etc etc. So yea, thats why i cant find job that i will like or i dont wanna work becase people are stressing me because of their behavior.
I so agree. There is nothing like the freedom of being able to live your life on your terms, not someone else's.
Facts
This is great advice. A lot of us are working from home right now, so we definitely have the time. Work for your company for 4 hours work on your goals for the rest of your day. Thanks a lot
I had PTSD just reading the caption, who else felt that way???
I love pursuing the unconventional career routes
I spent all my 20’s working a job, my current job it takes me hour to get there to and from an i work 50-60 hours a week. Jobs don’t give you a 2 week notice when they fire you but when you quit you’re expected to give them a heads up.
Its not always about the money. A 9-5 can definitely make you rich, if you work for big tech firms like you said or work at investment banks where you could pull a million a year with 6 to 8 yrs experience. But it demands your very soul, you can pretty much kiss freedom goodbye. Youre not likely to quit your job and start something by age 32 because you lack the skills to freelance as you have spent the bulk of your time working for somebody else. You also find it hard to have a big pay cut, because starting out in self employment are usually bumpy rides with little to no income. I dont understand the whole "spend 10 years working a 9-5 and building equity". Equity is nothing when you dont know what to do with it.
Never get into the mortgage industry absolutely no work life balance at ALL. It’s a depressing field. I’m trying my hardest to get out of this 9-5 trap before I loose my mind.
Heyy shuan! How are doing now? I hope, you got out of your depressing job!
I've been self employed doing my own thing for 2years and recently just started a 9to5. And after first day, I realized why I went self employed in the first place. I'm stay here for maybe 2 months and I'm out. I cant do it anymore

Same here bro, I literally cannot I CANNOT work a job, I hate listening to people telling me what to do and thinking they’re better than you because they make 50¢ or 2$ more per hour, it’s literally so pathetic Not to mention the pay is mediocre and the hours are long
@@realtruth1448 yea man, I dont care what anyone say. Working a 9 to 5 is terrible, especially for a person that already has experience being a entrepreneur and then having to go back for a short time. Man it's the worst
@@lwill4075 exactly man!!! Jobs are for the chumps, real alpha males make their own money on their own time
Stop making other people rich and go out there and make yourself rich❤
How tho🤦🏽♂️
I hate making other people rich when they are rich and I see myself poorer when I work with a boss who counting bunch of money in front of me, and then I am just lurking with his cents income.
@@ezmoolah6395 Exactly. Lol. Everyone says this but nobody says how.
Don’t forget it’s other people that will make you rich, when you provide them a living
This pandemic changed things a bit because i currently work 2 jobs and i have a side hustle. Working from home has made my side hustle easier to fit into my schedule. I appreciate you and people who encourage growth because no matter where you are in life as long as you stick with it you shall succeed. Thanks for putting up encouraging content.
Keep it up David! 2 jobs and a side hustle is pretty dang awesome
@@CharlieChang thank you god bless you 🙏
What is your work from home job
Always felt this way my whole life about a 9 to 5. Life is for living and more important than money is time. Ask yourself what is worth trading your limited valuable time to make money? For me thats definitely not a 9-5 Most people don't even ask themselves this question. How much time we trade to work these 9 to 5s only to be unhappy.
I have been thinking about this for a long time. I'm actually at a crossroads where I could actually become a full-time ups driver and make 6 figures....but its long hours and hard physical work. I plan on starting my own amazon FBA business and get out of the 9 to 5 prison where I could potentially make double or triple the amount and have full control of how I use my time.
This video is so inspiring, I'm currently balancing a fulltime job and youtube. My dream is to be a health & fitness entrepreneur so I can quit my job eventually and do something I'm genuinely passionate about. You're so right about flexibility, I am someone who hates monotony (I get bored really easily), so doing the same thing over and over again just doesn't stimulate me.... thank you for making this video!
I literally can’t stand it. I’m a marketer so my job isn’t even that bad but I need to get out ASAP, I’ve only been full time employed for 4 months; the thought I’d doing this for another 40-0 years is unimaginable!!! I’m gonna take the plunge and start a business next year - worst comes to worse and I fail I can get a job again - but it won’t fail 🙏
Hey! Have you progressed?
Amen! You won’t fail!
its been almost a year. i hope you own a business and are doing well now :)
"We do this for 40 years and then we die!"
Yoo its been a year. Idk how you are doing rn, but i wish you the best! Take care! ✨🙌
"working 8 hours does not guarantee you to be productive in these hours" yes, thats why im watching this video during my work
It’s obvious that the 9-5 is torture for so many, but it confuses me how many still spend much on their disposable income on things they don’t need. It’s like those 40hrs they grinded through were for nothing 🤦♂️
Because it's not enough to ever be free anyway so may as well spend it to feel better about life
I you are spot on! I’ve been in Corporate America for over 20 years. I will be turning in my notice in a few months! I don’t know how I made it that long!
Super exciting!!!!
I've been working 8-7, 6 days a week, for more than 4 years since i graduated from uni.... I NEED THIS
Same here
I moved from my country to Europe only to land myself on a 9-5 job... I think I’ve made the wrong move
Most people are working from home, there is more flexibility. No need to get up super early and commute. So add additional 2 hours of extra free time after work :) 5 Hours to work on side hustle
Yeah!! Lots of people are starting side hustles during quarantine which makes me very happy to see
Just earn 100$ for just 2hours today offering video editing as a freelance editor. So different from 20$ per day to my corporate job here in philippines. Thank you so much. for your videos. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The access to online freelancing and other remote freelancing jobs is going to be HUGE for countries with a lower cost of living. Keep going!
I'm sitting here ready to Quit, im starting to feel under appreciated and over worked while them make their money. I appreciate this motivation, because I have created my own MOBILE AUTOMOTIVE LLC but don't know where to start...
I work as an engineer and spend 50+ hours a week on dirty building sites and contaminated land. No aspect of my job interests me and it consumes my life, I hate it with a passion but feel now that I have no other skills with which to start a new career or work for myself
How are you doing now?
I'm working 9 to 5 now only for 3 months so I can afford a vehicle to do delivery work as part time OR full time if need be. As it's self employed it's up to me who much I work. This is so I can take time to work on other things which will bring me more money in the near future.
Only ever work a 9 to 5 as a stepping stone.

i’m just 13 years old but i’ve made my mind up about 9-5. No. that’s why i’m arleady starting to work on how to escape it for the long term (with help of parents of course) I’m also homeschooled so i get more time. Real school is trash. It just teaches you how to become a gangster.
Nigga, dis ain't "dangerous minds. " Getchu booty I'm Dem books BOOIIIII!!!
@Jake Stockton Innit. But you have to be quick to get the experience, or you’ll end up in the rat racem
Hell yeah I just quit my 9-5 after a month. I’m finna go run track and I got some ideas for after college.
I believe in the end, whether the money comes from your own business or working 9-5, the ultimate financial freedom is when your disciplined enough to put away earned income for assets; specifically buy and hold real estate.

Real estate is another liability unless you got tenants

People who think like us make a lot of money! And freedom is what i am striving for. Not working for someone else. Good video!
1. Greedy CEOs
I've worked several jobs and have dealt with the extremes of stress, the biggest being in the Army. After 22 years of being in the workforce I've come to a resolution if I ever owned a business and made millions a year, I would share a lot of it with workers, especially if their efforts were good and they helped the company. I'd live in a low middle class home, I'd be absorbed in the work, but giveback to employees. In the Army I saw the extremes of hazing and leadership abuse, and it was an experience I carried into the civilian world, but I shouldn't have held so much fear and submission in situations, yet the military teaches people to be mindless slaves so I suffered a lot out of the military. I believe if I hadn't gone in the Army id be a better person today, but the military changes people.
Its a system they give you that much money that you need to Comeback these people dont want you to become rich they want you to keep coming back and work for little money
It all depends on who you work for 9 to 5. For example you are an accountant but in company A you feel like its is draining your soul but in company B you feel great and you are moving up. It all comes down to which company you work for. Some companies are very boring, some are ok, and others are really fun. You still work 9 to 5 40 hours a week for the company that you love which offers great pay, flexible hours, great benefits, great people and management to work with, always room to learn and grow, and other positive things as well. It's not like all 9-5s are terrible. You can have a 9-5 that pays more than $100k just in wage with great benefits and flexibility. It all depends who you work for not all 9 to 5 jobs suck.

This is true
9-5 jobs is modern slavery! Your boss controls your mind, behavior, your mood, and basically your life! Life is too short! You spend the whole day in your cubicle, add traffic, you get home watch tv or stare at your phone, go to bed, repeat. It’s a cycle that will rob your life away from you without realizing it.
I agree! However, I have no idea how to get out of it. I don’t want to freelance because it’s kind of the same thing and I won’t be motivated. I’m thinking something with social media..
it is better than being unemployed though
The way I see it, a salary job is nothing more than a lifeboat. It's designed to keep you afloat and prevent you from sinking. It is not a cruise ship, a yacht, nor a speed boat. It's a handy tool for survival, but it will seldom propel you to newer and better horizons.
If you desire to go above and beyond, you must develop a strategy and carve a path to get there. A boss or employer is never going to do it for you. Point blank.
Those are some really wise words of wise wisdom!
I've been working a 60 hour week(12 hour days, monday to friday), as a security operative for the past 2 years. Its too long and depressing. Only decided to do it 2 years ago, just to top up my funds, but its so tedious now.
U just need to get in transfering money van. There time flys and u go on drink all the time with your mate, or get postion where u only watch tv hah. Worst thing is working in the bank coz u need to stand almost full shift…
Another great video Charlie! So much value in these 9 min. I left my 9-5 corporate job after 13 years and it's been hard to ever think of going back
Congrats on that!!!! 😀🙌
The 3 hour of focus time statistic made me laugh man. That's something everyone feels in their work day for sure but it's crazy to hear that it's proven haha. I totally agree with your viewpoint. Freedom and happiness should be considered heavily when working for sure!
The biggest problem for 9-5 job that noone mentions.Toxic people and toxic behaviours
I am so over the 9 to 5 but, I don't even know where to begin! I also was unable to continue for my bachelors because i had to take care of family. Now i just started a new 9 to 5 and I am completely depressed.
I would look into doing a service based side hustle to start - like consulting, mowing lawns, tutoring, writing, etc
@@CharlieChang thank you!
Well, if you’re not a self-discipline person, I think it’s difficult for most people to be a freelancer or entrepreneur. Freelancing jobs are unstable and difficult too because you are competing with everyone in the world. You don’t want to get a low wage projects. Just my personal thoughts at this moment. I agree with your perspective because we all want freedom and good income. The ways of earning money has been changing.
Definitely- I recommend starting a side hustle while working a 9-5, and see where it takes you
Charlie this 9-5 gig is old. This is an amazing video loved watching it!
It keeps me hopeful that there’s so many options now. We don’t have to work a 9-5
J.O.B. Just Over Broke

I wasted nearly 20 years of my life at a 9 to 5. Not worth it in the end, unless you get into contracting self employed work or college degree field employment.

Thank you . I feel like when you say this out loud to people look at you crazy! It’s so true! It’s so refreshing to hear someone say what I’ve been feeling
It's true I'm burnt out and working in this corporate 9-5 atmosphere. I do some work here and there but it's soul crushing the money is average just enough to keep you hanging on but honestly not enough for anything more.
My brain is so clocked out in the morning especially during morning huddles. Humans can't be creative and provide good quality of work while I'm sitting and starting at a screen meeting after meeting. It's stale and so demotivating.
You’re getting swole man been putting in work in the gym I see 💪🏼
Haha hmm maybe just eating out more 😂 Workouts have all been short at home workouts
Im working from 8-4 and i work all eight hours like full without a break..

I wish I knew what to do to work for myself. My arthritis has made it difficult to stand and walk all day at my 9 to 5 nowhere job.
Sorry to hear that Craig and I hope your arthritis gets better. Think about the skills you have that pay a high hourly wage and start your own service based business, that's how I started out
Great video. Honestly why are people so accepting working a 9-5? it's insane to me.
Societal conditioning.
I’m only 17 years old and I’m working part time as a waitress and I hate it so much , yes the everyday money is good and all but I dread coming to work and ACTUAL being here at work 🤧😭 I already have a RUclips channel , and that’s what I want to do full time . Im this 🤏🏼 close to quitting my job !! Y’all help me out 😩
This video is an excellent video because you are totally correct. You’ll never get rich working at 9 to 5 job. I am passed the age of retirement and I’ve already had to go back to work for a year now. I’ve tried businesses. They are successful for about 10 years and then they leave. You are very inspirational and motivational and I have watched all your videos and I look forward to the next one that’s coming out or I rewatch some of the other ones that you have done thank you so much Charlie.
I never used my PTO and maxed it out to the point where I had to be forced to take time off. I usually got all my job done in 3 hrs and then negotiated with my manager to let me go home early if I hit XYZ goals before lunch. When I started managing I couldn’t do that but my reps would want me to do the same and I had major FOMO.
Aha that's awesome they'd let you go home when you hit your goals
Just got my first job a few days ago at 16 and I hate it
Thinking to leave this 9 to 5 paradox...it’s not even 9 to 5 it’s 9 to infinity...they expect us to come in on time n leave as late as possible. Fuck that.

Problem is that the bills don't stop if you don't do a job. Freelance is harder because you don't know where your next project is coming from. The best jobs are govt jobs but they're hard to get.
I work for the gov’t while it’s “good money” the stress it brings is not worth it at all! Everyone is usually stressed and overwhelmed.
Stability - at will employer can fire you at any time, yet you have to provide 2 week notice
Benefits - 401k that is now worthless because economy tanked due to covid
Overtime - employers never give more than 40 hours unless contract in which you could make less than minimum wage
Bonuses - you made your employer so much money they give you a small extra, which is a flat amount rather than what you generated (unless in sales)
also they will give you overtime unless you are a salary employee because they don't have to pay you extra.
Started working corporate in 2013 and immediate fell into a depression and really bad anxiety. Seems like im stuck

Man I just dont wanna lose my insurance, but hopefully my channel & investments grow
Those people that hate their 9 to 5 are those that hate the company they work for. On the other hand, those people who love their 9 to 5 are those you love the company they work for. It's not so much as in 9 to 5 but who you work for.
I remember I had a slow coworker use to talk shit I'm glad I quit that job I would of put him on the news fr

I dont hate my company.. its just that id love to spend my time on other things instead of being tired from work because it consumes me too much
@@lexheart5877 Well the only ways to grow in your professional field is "work experience" Work experience is what makes one grow in whatever professional field they are in. Bro I love to spend my time to do other things besides going to work but you know what if I don't go to work and "gain experience" which is only achieved at work not in some silly University textbook I won't be able to become a CPA tomorrow and make more money than what I'm making today. Also per your youtube video title you are correct 9-5 will not make you rich but what makes you rich is what you do with the money you receive when pay day comes around. Do you spend it on useless stuff or do you invest?
I need to be my own boss. 🙏🏽 I just don’t know what I wanna do 😫
As I have mentioned before you are like our virtual guru , feeding us the perspective and ideas . Glad I came across your channel .
I appreciate you!
A family member who signed a military contract at 18 once told me to never sign away your time. I laughed because I was contracted as a university ambassador at the time and had to live how was most “presentable”. This did save me a lot of judgement bc I “fit it and did the right things” but now that I’m in a 9-5 where I signed over 52 weeks of my life every year to make a salary I couldn’t live on without my partner’s help, I so so so understand where they were coming from. And I know they say owning a business and everything is a job that you never stop working so it ends up being more than 9-5, but I feel like online related jobs aren’t like that. Also, if I didn’t want to work a given day, or had a vacation coming up, I could just save up for it or make sure I had some things backlogged. No counting PTO. No bargaining “two weeks” and some change of time off that isn’t even two weeks (14days) because only the week days count….
My fiancé was listing his house for sale and as usual hired a photographer to take pictures. His photographer shared he's been making close to 500k a year freelancing and will retire before 40.
I'm blessed I work a so called 9 to 5 job, I got a share in the company, earn 160 plus, working from home and able to do what ever I want, I spent most of my day looking at buying business etc

I think the worst thing about the workforce is some people are literally stuck doing 9-5's because majority of better paying jobs have a lot more requirements and experience & expect you to know what your doing already Regardless if there's training for it🤦 some people have learning disabilities or other issues and can't pick up on marketing jobs or actual careers better than others. And other specific training for jobs are requirements based off of trade schools or other training facilities that you need a lot of money for.
This helped me sooooooo much man I really appreciate you for this cuz everybody else beat around the bush when telling us this kind of information and you told it allllll thank you !!!
Is not that easy. Otherwise everyone would work for themselves. If you have to pay rent, or if you have kids you have to have a steady income. The route is have a 9-5 and build your side hustle which can be exhausting

I’m 21 and already tired this need to change ASAP
I use to work 4-5 hours a day I had less money but felt less stress now I work 8-9 hours a day I make more money now but after work I’m so tired of standing all day it’s painful I was just thinking to myself is it worth working 8 hours almost everyday .. I might quit soon but I need to find something else better
Thanks for the insight bro ! I am sure all of us viewers benefit.
What do you do to make money? You never once mentioned it
Every day I work for about 3-4 hours max and the rest of the time I work on my business. I look busy so nobody in the office asks questions :D

Working 9-5 is so depressing :( I thought it was only me who gets sad doing this over and over
I have a friend who enjoys his 9-5 job. He's a part of a team of videogame designers.
The thing too is these days we're almost still broke even working jobs. If you are like him or me and you have infinite different interests and want to start that business, just do it and get started. Life is too short and things aren't getting easier here in America
Anyone can become “rich” retaining and growing “wealth” is true freedom
Not to be mean but if you’re that person in the office that actually has a skill going to waste, quit your 9-5 to monetize it. Look around the room. Some of your current coworkers are NPCs who aren’t artists, can’t write, can’t share content…can’t do anything other than follow someone else’s orders. If that isn’t you, leave. It’s worth it.
Damn I think I’m an entrepreneur… cause that 9-5 is just not for me personally

I'm very productive and focus in the morning, but after lunch it gets SOOOOO boring, that I just start working and watching videos or listening to music at the same time and now they're complaining about my bad work. So get bored everyday and keep your job or just whatever I can't stand it and be fired and then start all over in another company????
