I Quit My 6 Figure Corporate Job 

Anton Daniels Go for it! Trust in God and move. Make your plans and move accordingly. Life is truly too short to live in regrets. Not many people follow after there dreams and living in their full potential. God bless you and your family.

Tonia Hill thanks so much

Anton, I at the age of 59 as of yesterday, being retired from the City of Detroit and being victimized by the bankruptcy wish to tell you this, make that move that burns in your soul. Please don't allow regret of not doing so find a home within you. Peace be on to you my Brotha'.

Much respect. Very bold and courageous move. We can't really say whether it is dumb or not. Only time and your harvest can determine that. Godspeed!

Anton, don't do it!! Keep your corporate job. Now is not the time to put yourself or you family in an uncomfortable position. Retract the Notice.

🤔 some people love corporate

Yeah, I'll buy my own snacks, coffee, water fall, etc.

This is a stupid decision. Especially as a black man

I hate the free snacks because most of them are unhealthy!

@@vacuumblink2300Nah you are just a sheep 🐑

That’s the sentiment I get from people all over is the regret of not jumping.

🎯

Thanks friend, 30k is a feat!

@@AntonDaniels you have almost 400k now wow 🎉

You’re welcome... good luck my friend

It surely does.

"Money is not everything." It's the only thing.

You can control bills

Good job, but the company as a whole shouldn’t be thought of negatively just because of that individual. Good luck!

You’re right, there customers are our bosses.

If you don’t mind me asking, what do you do ?

that's nice glad you figured out a life that worked

What did you do?

Be careful... this life ain’t for the faint of heart

@@AntonDaniels Do you regret your decision? I have a low paying ($60k/yr) 30-35/hr a week remote job. I'm always lured by the status and money of corporate america, but I'm not sure if its worth it. My heart tells me to stay put and pursue my passion of painting to the fullest extent during all my free time, but social pressure says gun for a corporate job...

Rob 60k a year isn’t low paying. You also have to factor in where you live. I didn’t quit my job to pursue another career. I built my businesses in the time I wasn’t working full time. Just do both. Never take away from the food on your table.

@@AntonDaniels I appreciate the logically take rather then just quit your job chase your dreams

This is deep bro🖖

That’s awesome... plans?

Listen to the voice my friend

Seems like both of you have established some stability and value career-wise though, but I agree that you have to make the most of life, and if that means giving up being comfortable for gaining freedom.

Hey Erika... glad you found my channel! I’ll have to check out your content sometime soon. I’m wondering why you’re afraid to post the video, especially when you’re already living the life?! Things are pretty awesome for me and I’m just enduring through these times while waiting for travel season to begin for me 😂. Life is good and make sure you stay in touch (Instagram)!

@@AntonDaniels Thank you Anton!! Let's definitely keep in touch! It's scary because it feels vulnerable and personal, and I know colleagues watch my channel. But, you motivated me! My goal is to make it happen in April!

😂 that’s one way to look at it.

hm

So true💯

Be careful... some decisions are forever

I’m looking forward to the journey, you’re right.

Well said

Glad things worked out for you

Thanks fam, change is always good!

Glad you can see the vision 🙌🏾

Anton Daniels can’t wait to see what’s next !! 🤔👍

When you come from nothing and got it all from the bottom (multiple times) like I have, you learn that there is more to life than money.

I'm not retiring to start another business. I've been a serial entrepreneur all my life. I'm walking away BECAUSE I've done well in my life. There is a difference.

You don’t need a job to pay bills or have healthcare.

Thank you my friend.

Thanks fam, I appreciate you.

Thanks, I appreciate it

Life is awesome... the best decision I've ever made.

That’s pretty awesome. Glad you could take this journey with me.

Exactly, abundance! There needs to be some practicality to be fair, but you still always have to be doing little things in the micro and macro to be pushing forward.

I appreciate you!

Tell me about it... that’s why I value my time. I feel like I don’t have enough of it!

The world is my canvas

Thanks friend... glad things seem to be well for you

That fire dept ride along sounds like a great idea. I’ll look into that.

Don’t quit. It won’t change your perspective on life. You need a new mindset. Start going out more, meet some new inspirational friends, and get new hobbies outside of work. It has nothing to do with what you do to make money and everything to do with your mindset. What would be your transition plan? Do you work out regularly? And download the meetup app for ideas of getting out of your comfort zone. Join a new church. Quitting your job (especially during COVID) won’t change your mindset. Get a mentor and work toward moving up in your job.

Don’t quit

Tell me about it... I know tons of people that have regret.

Thanks fam, I appreciate the love and support

Bless you also... 🙌🏾

Thanks bro

What are you waiting for?

I appreciate it

Much appreciated

God bless you on your journey

It’s been a wild one so far.

Thank you... but it’s been phenomenal in that this last year has been one of the best I’ve ever had. Thank you for the well wishes.

Congrats my friend.

Thanks for the great energy

Thank you. God bless you

I’d love to hear more about your thoughts on this.

Anton Daniels I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and you seem like a very intelligent person, so I’m sure you’ve thought long and hard about everything I’m about to say. I totally admire your decision to allocate your time towards your passions. I’m a CPA so of course my first comment is going to be related to money.....you’re a smart guy so hopefully you’re prepared with a contingency plan in case your passions aren’t bringing in money right away.....6 months of income is ideal. Honestly, sometimes I feel like entrepreneurship is overrated. But I also truly feel that entrepreneurs are born, and there’s no “job” or salary that can fulfill that innate desire. Life is meant to be lived....leaving your corporate job doesn’t mean you can never go back if you want/need to. Like you said....life isn’t about “things”, it’s about experiences. Leaving something stable and predictable for the “unknown” is super scary, but nothing worth having is gonna be easy. My situation is different because even tho I’m in my mid 30’s, I’m single with no kids yet. So leaving my Corporate six-figure career has less consequences (if it doesn’t work out for me) than it would for someone who has a spouse and kids depending on them. There’s never gonna be a perfect time to follow your dreams. It sounds like you’ve thought long and hard about this and have the full support of your wife, which is crucial. I have a feeling you’re making the right decision. I’m very excited to see where this journey takes you!!! 🙏🏾

Thank you so much. Looking forward to the journey.

By not sleeping 😂 I’m still not sure I want to continue dedicating time into the restaurant long term. I’m strongly considering selling it!

Anton Daniels Damn!, sorry to hear that. I thought the restaurant business was a passion of yours. And with all this extra time you'll have on your hands you could really promote it, market it, add recipes, build another one, and etc. But do what makes sense, and follow your heart to a degree.

🤗🤗🤗

🙌🏾

You're right. You actually work harder than ever when you work for yourself.

More difficult than you could ever imagine

But I can always get another job if I need to, right 🤷🏾‍♂️

E P I always have room for him at my house and money for him in my account. #supportsystem

Gregory Daniels love it. Keep it moving sir, ha hah

Great Anton, now you have time for things in life that really matters. From a Cancer survivor👌

Life is good

You can do well in law. You just have to dedicate yourself and work extremely hard at whatever it is you go into.

Not sure exactly how to explain my personality type, but definitely an Alpha male

I’m living a phenomenal life. Thanks!

Congrats

🙌🏾 thanks fam

Thank you for the feedback and joining the journey

Thanks my friend. I appreciate you.

Thank you my friend

I was in Information Technology and loved it.

Why?

If you’re moving around that much in a short amount of time, then you’re not doing something right. Either that, or your job is totally taking advantage of you by requiring you to relocate constantly.

They love me, they’d never do that to me 😂

And there are a lot!

Thanks friend

Gotta follow your heart ❤️

I think so... no regrets!

Thanks so much. We sometimes try and block that little voice out, but I’ve learned to listen.

@@AntonDaniels Anton, you already are on your way, you are an individual who is in the Driver's Seat of Life, not the passengers seat. I offer this tidbit of wisdom to you, even though I have an inkling that you may have read this book, but it's named Think and Grow Rich: By Napoleon Hill, aside from the title its more of a positive reinforcement novel. Stay blessed, continued success.

Good luck... I hope you make lots of moolaa

​@@AntonDaniels thank you so much bro for replying. and thanks for the warm wishes. I will make it .

Thank you. Hopefully I’ve made the right decision!

@@AntonDaniels I think you have and believe you anton.

Thank you and God bless you

Salute to you also king

I'm 37. DM on IG. It's in the description of the video.

Best decision ever

As far as finances... 6 figures can mean a wide spectrum because there is a difference between 100k and 900k (I'm just saying). Also, just because you earn a lot does not mean you save a lot. A lot of people adjust their lifestyle to reflect how much they earn. Lastly, I'd need more context to your situation, but whatever you are feeling and why you are feeling that way is temporary (been there too). I'd encourage you to not have a jaded long-term view about temporary feelings.

Teach them young!
