I decided to quit my job after I realized these 3 lessons. Although I "heard" of these 3 things before, they never clicked inside my head until these events happened in my life. My goal is to share my experiences with you in hopes that this video will be more than just "sounds" coming from your speakers or "words" on a screen. I hope these lessons can inspire you to do what you truly want to do.

Hey friends, one of the reasons I was able to quit my job is because I've been building my side hustles while working full time. If you're thinking of quitting, you NEED to have some financial security and a backup plan - and a great side hustle can provide both. I know you think you can't build a side hustle while working a job but let me be the first to tell you, YOU CAN. Here are my secret strategies that allowed me to grow my side hustle while working full time. These are the exact things I did that allowed me to utlimately quit and pursue my dreams: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BwDBeNhG9ls.html

@ADM-wt9cn 2 года назад

1. You job also pays YOU, gives you medical/dental, 2+ weeks vacation, retirement (possible employer match) 2. You employer is replaceable, there is NO employee loyalty, climb the ladder to similar companies, If you make 100k a year at Apple? Reach out to MSFT for a similar position. Get a job at MSFT there for 120k.. 3. DUH Choose a job where you like the environment, happy with the pay, and are internally driven/stimulated, not drained.

1. Jobs are a two way street. It benefits your employer but it also benefits you. Vincent was making $120K a year. If he saved 1/3rd of that for just ten years, he could retire. 2. Of course you're replaceable. All the more reason you need to be smart and save, save and save some more. You want to get to the point where you can live off the interest your money generates 3. I'd say it's more like, don't get controlled by things. Don't by a brand new Tesla. Don't get the giant $1 million McMansion. Because then you'll be working your whole life to pay those things off.

I studied hard to grab a position in one of the Big4 companies. I was excited to work but I was working 18 hours a day to finish jobs that were meant for an experienced person. I started ignoring my family just like you and months later when I reached home - I saw my dad skinny and diagnosed with cancer. He is illiterate and he didn't even know what cancer patients look like. Believe me, I regret taking this job. If I was home I'd be early to recognise it and he could be saved but now he is taking his last breaths. Family comes first! No job will ever replace your family.

I served 8 years in the army and I thought working for corporate America was the dream. I wanted to wear the suits, I wanted to have to the corporate dinners, I wanted to work in the tallest building...and now 3 years in I almost completely lost who I was before this job. I get anywhere from a 15-25% salary increase every year but I no longer care about that. i want a career with purpose to it. I want a career where I can see the outcome of what I put in. As much as it scares me to admit this to my wife and family I really want to pursue a career in firefighting to bring back that sense of purpose and selfless service that I miss so much.

12:06: "The real power of money is not that you can buy whatever you want, the real power is that you're able to buy the freedom to spend your time how you like, when you like, where you like. It's the freedom to not let anyone else control your time, your emotions or your life."

Is that true I wonder? With that money you saved or earned, will you be in another pit desire for more of everything? Leading to a life to be controlled by money itself? And I suppose the money you earned or saved is limited and it will be gone soon again you will be back in the circle for work?

@alenkoka7711 2 года назад

Y’all just need to learn how to save $ and not spend ur money on stuff you don’t need ! I’m at the stage of my life ( age 24) making 495k a year after taxes , living in Seattle, WA. And that’s decent money I make for a normal life . Sure 485k is not A LOT OF MONEY , however it’s more than enough for a normal life . I been making over 300k since I was 20 years old so about 4 years now and I don’t go around spending my money buying em anything and everything that I don’t really need . I spent my money on the house that I bout and it’s nothing special medium size 4 bedroom house that I paid cash for and it cost me 750k cuz houses are too damn expensive in Seattle and I bought my self Nissan 350Z and Toyota 4Runner ! Now I could have went and bought me an Audi R8 , Ferrari , Lamborghini or what ever other car and I could cash it out , or instead of paying the full price on the house I got and bought my self huge house and use the 700k ( cash) as a down payment and than pay mortgage every month and still owe millions on it but why would I do that ??? That’s just throwing ur money away trying to live large , or impress ppl or what ever . No need for that at all ! So guys KNOW UR WORTH DONT EVER SETTLE FOR LESS ! This is my standard and if the company can’t comply with my job requests I’m not taking that job . I like to work early 6,7 AM I want my lunch to be paid for and I only work 32 hrs a week . On top of that I also have to make 100k + in 3 months or I’m not taking that job . I guess I like to work like I’m in Germany and not USA , cuz over there your full work week is 32hrs however if u compare salary , in Germany you get paid more working a day less than we get paid here in USA doing the same job and working 40 hrs a week . So guys know ur worth and don’t settle for less you guys .

I do not make YT comments, but this has hit so many points already on my head for years that I had to do this. First, thank you for putting the effort and courage to create this video Vincent. I am at a point in my career where this is what I needed - another burst of light from multiple angles to remind me of what I really want to do and to be. We are merely visitors here and we should not waste it living like machines. I am going to save a screenshot of this particular video and comment with the date and time and someday I'll reach out to you to thank you again but on that time I would either have reached my first pit stop or I am about to. Again, thank you brother.

@Luke-rm1kw Год назад

I can really relate to this. I was an econ major in college (first-gen student) and was planning to go into finance, but early on I knew that my own mental health would make the punishing work culture unbearable, and I knew I needed a strong purpose in my work to feel motivated. I've always tried to be of service to others, and my jobs so far have been at advocacy and social service organizations that do really meaningful work in the community. I use the free time I have to take care of myself and pursue my creative interests, and I feel like I'm mapping out the darkened path one step at a time at my own pace, which has allowed me to grow in unexpected ways. Thanks for sharing your story.

Great and profound post Vincent. I had the ‘ah ha’ moment at 25 years old. Had the company car, nice home, salary, (mortgage, credit card) etc, but sat in church and thought “is this it? Is this the next 40 years of my life?” So I stepped away from it, moved to Asia and found my purpose. It’s been bumpy and often other times amazing, but I wouldn’t change that decision. Now at 60 my life is making another big change and I know it’s going to be ok. So, I hope your video encourages others to take that unknown path and find their fulfillment.

I've been a beneficiary of real estates for a while now so I'm aware bout its lucrativeness. Thanks to my Aunt, I saw the pitfall of not attaining financial freedom at an early age and how dreadful it can be and earnestly it made me who I am today. Next month I'll be 33, I'm currently employed with an income of $198k a year, my 401(k) has $380,000 in it currently, my savings are roughly $200,000. I also have investments in stocks, crypto, real estates and the financial markets too worth over $680,000 and generating me an average of $31k monthly, proudly it's safe to say I've positioned myself well nothing really fancy tho but I'm consistently accumulating wealth
