6 months after quitting my job, I went back to working another full-time job, realizing how powerful a job can be. Building a business (full-time, early stages) isn't as sexy as how most portray it to be.

good reminder about how we spent 1/3 of our life at work... and it is important to FEEL happy while we are at it. Or at least not miserable.

@miss2slick 23 дня назад

This resonates so much! I burnt myself out in a role I pursued for passion. I was lucky that it also paid well. I dreamed of it as a career so it became a huge part of my identity. Unfortunately, it was too much work for 1 person to handle. The overwhelming responsibilities of the job but also the pressure I put on myself led me to burnout. I didn't feel like myself and I developed chronic anxiety in 6 months of that role. I quit out of good conscience and took the last year off. I experienced depression during my break... I think my mind and body needed a purge. Now I'm in a much better place. I have recently got back onto my career path. I was cautious to choose a role that didn't involve the same level of responsibility I had previously. Like you, I took a 10% pay cut. I entered into this new role with hypervigilance about my mental health. This is proving to be serving me well - I feel like myself again, like I have good work-life balance, and I'm proud of my work. The sacrifice was hard to accept initially... I felt like I was settling for less. But now I believe that this is a positive step in the right direction. I can clearly feel a huge difference in myself in this role versus the previous. I'm reminding myself of how important the small steps are and prioritizing protecting my inner peace. I will let the rest fall into place - because I believe in myself and my skills - but at my own pace.

You're right. Starting business is usually not having any income for months. It's why you should to create some buffer before starting a business. But sure, you will get pay off after some time.

@kameron1563 23 дня назад

Good video. I think you bring up a pretty good point around the 3 minute mark about taking a pay cut for a less stressful job to work on a side hustle or even improving QoL. I am currently unemployed because i got super burnt out from my last job, but I am being very picky on my new job, kind of like picking a new partner lol

Hey you were featured on Anton Daniel's platform. You might want to address his vid. The commenters are under the impression you "settled" for your bf & will leave him once you boss up.

If I was her BF, I'd break up with her over this video 😂

thank you so much for being so transparent and for sharing this way of looking at the whole 9-5 vs. own business thing. I'm in a somewhat similar situation where I've learned how a 9-5 (or any employment) does have its perks, while doing your own thing can be a really tough thing. I'm still definitely more the business owner type, but I think appreciating 9-5 jobs/corporate jobs for what they are can make like a lot easier:)

It's nice to have someone talk about the same sentiments I faced this year. I've taken a break from my 9 to 5 to figure out my passion. Also tried starting a business also without a stable income. I agree, it is a big risk and bears alot of uncertainties. Through that journey, I learned my lesson and passion. I can't wait what my life unfolds. Hope that it'll be just as holistic as yours! *Fingers cross*

We need more of this videos. There is super negative trend around regular jobs. Is a non sense.

It's really disrespectful not all of us want to be scammers

@nurdinihusnina843 22 дня назад

I really tired with my 9-5 job and i also searching for another job. I really feel like is it okay for me to do business and quit 9-5 job or just quit 9-5 job and find another 9-5 job. I don’t like the toxic environment bcs it really affects my well being 😢. Hope that i can find job that makes me healthy physically and mentally. Thank you for this video !!

It’s wild that companies with great culture seem to always be married to taking a pay cut from somewhere toxic

Entrepreneurship and starting a new small business is not for everyone, otherwise everyone would do it.

Starting a business is unhealthy, it requires radical imbalance for a time. That’s why it’s not for everyone and should only be follow if you are able to stand that for at least 5 years
