Best decision ever or worst mistake? I hope that you found this video helpful and learned from some of my experiences from this incredibly difficult decision. Let me know if you have any questions or just want to share your perspectives! 🙌❤

This really came at the right time for me to reassure myself I haven’t done the wrong thing. I quit a high paying job I hated and am finally doing what I love. I don’t know what the future will hold, but it can’t be worse than staying in that job. My only regret is it took me until my fifties to realise this. You have inspired me.

@lauriexwang 18 дней назад

I'm so glad this resonated with you! It's never too late to pursue what you love, and it takes a lot of courage to make such a significant change. The future is full of possibilities, and doing what you love can lead to unexpected and fulfilling opportunities. My Dad is reinventing himself at 68! Thank you for sharing your journey-your story is inspiring, too. Wishing you all the best on this new path!

Freedom is priceless. SO true.

@lauriexwang 17 дней назад

There's nothing quite like the freedom to live life on your own terms. It opens up so many opportunities for growth, and I value freedom of time above anything else 🙌

"Detaching from all outcomes". And love the point that sometimes a job may not be the safest option, it really makes us reexamine what we want to get the most out of life and our time.

@lauriexwang 18 дней назад

This idea helped me to make the leap, and learning to detach from all outcomes helped me to focus on what I can control. 🙌

"A job is not the most secure option." I was recently laid off and your video expresses a lot of the same feelings I'm having. Since losing my job I'm volunteering and doing things I enjoy but never had time for. I didn't choose to leave and I liked my job, but I don't miss it. I miss the money and stability it gave me and navigating an unexpected layoff without a big financial safety net has caused us to downsize our life and live more frugally. But I'm fortunate to have a very supportive partner, no kids and some part time work that helps while I'm figuring out what's next. But you're right I'm learning that maybe 9-5 work isn't for everybody. This freedom is a joy I've never felt before in a job. I just need to figure out how to translate doing what I enjoy into consistent income.

@lauriexwang 18 дней назад

Thank you for sharing your experience. It's definitely challenging to navigate an unexpected layoff, especially without a big financial safety net. I've been through this during the financial crisis and it was extremely scary. It's great to hear that you're finding joy and freedom in doing things you enjoy, even if it means living more frugally. Having a supportive partner can make a huge difference during times like these. Turning your passions into consistent income is a journey, but it sounds like you're on the right path. Stay positive and keep exploring new opportunities-you never know what might come your way. You've got this!

Watching this video about quitting the 9 to 5 grind really resonates with me. It's a powerful reminder that life is too short to be spent doing something that doesn't fulfill us. Thanks Laurie

"Freedom has more value than money and status" - amen sister. I am very inspired and moved by your philosophy of follow your bliss. Is there a book or audiobook in your future? ✌

@lauriexwang 14 дней назад

Thank you! 🙌 I'm really glad my message resonated with you. Amen indeed. Your support means a lot. A book is definitely something I'm considering for the near future. Stay tuned!

Same boat. I’m in Fintech. Just stumbled across your channel & subbed ☝🏻. Took me 3+ years of procrastination to launch my channel as well. Slow growth but glad I started

@lauriexwang 18 дней назад

Thank you for sharing your journey and for subscribing to my channel! It's great to hear that you finally launched your own channel after overcoming procrastination-slow growth is still growth, and starting is often the hardest part. Great to meet here on RU-vid 🙌

Just got laid off after 10 years. After all these years of helping the company in implementing projects and make money, they just let me go! I feel broke and lost but will continue to kick on !

@lauriexwang 16 дней назад

I'm really sorry to hear about your layoff. It's tough when you've dedicated so much time and effort to a company. At the same time, this can be a new beginning for you. Take time to reflect on your skills and passions-you have so much to offer. Stay strong and keep moving forward! 🙌

HR has no interest in selling goods or services. Something got broke. Self employment is the path.

@lauriexwang 17 дней назад

For me, that felt like the right path, it may not be for everyone as self employment has its up and downs too. Maybe one for another video! 🙌

On one hand I truly respect your decision to turn the page and quit your job, but it hurts to see someone like you, a guru of the field take that path. I wish you the best in your alternet endevours. Here is another great book/memoir that you might be interested in: "Ditching Success? A Career Ventured; A Life Regained" by Batoul Ajlouni.

@lauriexwang 14 дней назад

Thank you and I appreciate that. It was over 7 years ago, and one of the best decision I've ever made to pursue what I love to do today. I love book recommendations, and will check this one out! 🙌
