This had been on my chest since 2019. It feels great to unload it to a bunch of strangers on the internet. This is not a statement or to shine a negative light on 9 to 5 jobs. This is just my experience and journey from when I quitted my job until the present. contact email - caelanmartyn@gmail.com (business inquiries only) please comment for any questions. socials - caelan.martyn...
Good luck mate for the future you have a great trade and you can make plenty £££££££ been your own boss I have stopped arbitrage and gone private label I have 2 products going well
dude.. im totally with you. im struggling very very hard at the moment, since a year im fighting with hypothyroidism and depressions i had all life long. But now its on another level and i cant hold my pokerface anymore, but i have to pay bills so i have to try to go on, but i realy stuck, and cant no more.. theres no energy left. Im like paralized, my dreams slowly fading away i hate my job and also all the people there lol..
I have 8 jobs & studying and feel miserable sometimes working hard, I miss the days of two small jobs and online education
Your accent not clear
Neither are your sentences lol
well in mate
With you a 💯% on this one. I got a major shock when I lost my Ebay dropshipping income overnight two years ago after Amazon UK told me to stop using my Prime account for ordering thousands of items with etc, and I half heartedly tried in vain to resurrect it, but this year I threw the towel in and finally admitted to myself it was over. A very tough moment and like you said, it starts to become your identity and so letting go is a real heartbreaker. All my skills or knowledge are self-taught and not certified in any way, plus I do not have any trades to fall back on. So currently on the dole but likely not for much longer, and need to figure out what to do next. I'm a highly creative non-materialistic type like you, and so ideally I would be best finding a way to do something in that direction. I'll continue to follow your channel as I find your videos helpful and interesting, and because you are a decent guy.
as much as we everyone yaps on about making money online, people make serious money from trades too.. look into window tinting. thats what i do for myself and you can make a shit ton of money and also live a very chill life
Its been a very long time lad! Glad to see you seem much more cheery! I get what you mean about Amazon FBA being really intensive, after a couple years of hitting it hard I've found it tough to keep myself motivated this year. Will stay subbed just to see how you new path unfolds 😀
Watched you for years and evolving is part of the process! I pivoted just like you as wasn't fully invested. Now have more stable income and funnel that into the markets. Crypto defi yield farming (which is safer than you think) & stocks, you should take a look if not already involved. More passive and more upside IMO.
You called it a day too odds?
hi Martyn, I really appreciate this video and it really resonates with me, you were the first person that inspired me to make the leap into the FBA model, i have made decent profits here and there but it is full on and if your not on top of it it gets on top of you, I have recently put it down too and working on other things. thank you for inspiring me into this mindset and more than likely many more of us. if I ever move to Scotland ill call Martyn the joiner out to fit my doors, jobs a gooden. keep doing what your doing man I hope it all works out for you and you get everything you ask for.
I knew it was time to quit my job when I was thinking about trying to break an arm so I could get some time off. I’m still in the same job because my anxiety won’t let me quit. Feel like I get taken advantage of alot in my job because i’m too scared to say no.
Its never to late, go to the modeling agency in soho make sure you have £1200 and they will get you set up for clothing and TV, honestly was a great experience I had and you have a head start
As someone who also has recently left the construction industry after 8yrs having started at 17, this video is literally a parallel to my own experiences. Construction can be a brutal game and as a young man, it’s so easy to lose yourself and become the people you are surrounded by. Following your passion will always win
Very insightful especially when talking about it becoming your identity
LOVE your accent bro, thanks for your vid i'm actually having a hard time now deciding if i'm gonna quit my job because i'm new from my job but i wanted to quit already, because some realizations hit me , i always ask myself if im going to do this 8 hours job in my entire life but not enjoying what i really love, though my job is connected to my passion which is art. but still there's a hindrance when im designing because i have to follow the standards and rules of my bosses, which i don't enjoy.I lost my passion chasing a big paycheck, i don't feel myself anymore as an artist, everytime i get a paper and a pencil to draw, i waste a lot of time staring the blank paper, because there is no creativity anymore that runs into my heart. I feel not free. I want to create an art that no one dictates me, but being an artist is so hard to find a bread to put in my plate, Please pray for me. God bless brother
THANK YOU
I'm on about doing food/parcel delivery and independent contracting because I can't be arsed with employers deciding my life and time! It's not really freedom to be employed! 😆
Very similar situation, great pay and benefits but felt a destructive toxic company culture that burned my soul - burned out my life. Brighter spirits years later now but still not as good of a gig, at-least the health is greater. I disagree when people say we have to tolerate everyone, no we don't.

This man is literally me.
That Sunday afternoon and evening anxiety. The binge drinking, feeling completely drained, wishing to die in my sleep. Wow😢 we're screwed man
This day and age sucks. We are men and we want to explore and be pioneers and conquer untamed land! Not these stupid mundane jobs
The whole system is so wrong . The 9/5 was designed to line the elites pockets . When you are unfit to work they discard you with pittance to live on . Some people are just not fit or well enough to do those long hrs all their life , till they drop. The whole system stinks , it’s slavery as far as I’m concerned. If you like to work at somthing. Great then that’s good ! But I do believe people need to have a choice of what they want to do that’s fair. And their needs to be fairness for people who are just not well enough to work . Whether that day will come is another thing.
thank you for this i understand 100%🩷🥹
Bro......I am basically you. You have just described me with absolute accuracy. Trying to stay awake because I know the second I go to sleep ill be waking up in the blink of an eye and having to work. I'm a cleaner so feel like an absolute bottom feeder. I'll never be any more than that because I've always seen through the system and refuse to spend 90% of my life doing courses and getting in student debt to get a job I don't even want. The only reason I pay for a car is because I have to go to work. When I go to my darkest place in my mind I automatically think about jumping off a bridge for that relieving feeling you talk about. My family are clueless and will never understand. I'm 36 and still live at home and I'm at the stage where I don't want to get out of bed. Not been in work for the past month which has left me struggling to pay for my car and other bills. Feel like a massive burden. Hope your doing okay bro but I think I know your possibly not doing too good. People like us who see through and question the ways of society don't stand a chance when it comes to mental health. We live in a world of sheep that blindly follow the system that we are brainwashed into from birth.
I think it’s good to change jobs often it keeps things a bit more new at least the problem is you can only do that more for unskilled jobs i guess
Relate totally. Toxic job, toxic marriage. Binge drank for a decade in my studio basement, job made me feel like a burden if I didn’t accept total abuse. Walked from both marriage and job( tried dating and same career but part time - total failure. 💀 ). I’m not in debt but not wealthy, live alone ( 🐈⬛) but whole and healing. It can be done thanks for sharing. Helps.
Good sharing man you can really help a lot of people.
Relate so much
peace n quiet, good rest, food, patient n non judgemental friends and a purposeful job (no job with saving better to heal)
The economy is sooooooooo terrible and disturbing that as a homeless person with no job ( thousands of rejections for applications ) I am forced to hand clear land I bought, create my own stable foundation by hand and soon make my own logs to hand build a log cabin home just to have a roof over my head. Mortgages and gouged rentals are criminally insanely high and nothing in America is affordable anymore. I am going to have to grow my own food too because I can no longer afford 99% of food in grocery store or its poisoned with bioengineered fake ingredients. First time ever I will most likely be using food pantries until I die. No longer interested in participating in capitalism the dumpster fire 😤😢☹
Working is a complete waste of time! Money does not have enough value anymore! No livable wages for over 45 years! Cost of living is suicidal and inflation completely out of control! 😶🏚😶Going off the grid and homesteading is the ONLY good option left! Working in capitalism is slavery 🏚🏚🏚FACT: US now in depression since 2019! From 1984 to 2019 we were constantly in a recession. 65+ million Americans in abject poverty and over 20 million illegal immigrants in abject poverty in USA. Capitalism is trash. Over 15 million Americans are in homelessness 😑😑😑
Same lol
Hope you've got what you wished for 🙌
Good point - don't emotionally engage with negative external things
I quit too I was a chef for years I couldn’t understand why I was there I worked hard but i slugged it out
It was a tough job my energy was zapped though
I can relate so much to your story about feeling like a burden to the world. Wanting to drive into a brick wall is a thought that goes through my head everyday going into my dead end job. You aren't alone.
Follow your intuition, trust your gut. Do what comes naturally for you. This video really resonated with me. Thank you for being vulnerable, genuine and sharing your experience.
I relate so much to what you’ve experienced with depression. I feel like a burden and it’s hard to see the joy in the world anymore. And I think it’s because I’m not living my life purpose.
Thank you I really needed to hear this right now. We share so many of the same thoughts on so much! I think almost everything You hit on there have all been the same things that have kept me up at nights also. Sending love 💕
Appreciate your honesty man, sometimes we have to endure jobs we don't like, to get to places we want to be. On top of that though, there's nothing we can buy that will fill and satisfy our hearts like Jesus will. Seek Him man, only He can give you true purpose and lead you to fulfilling jobs for that particular time. He's coming back, we will all have to face Him one day, He loves us so much that He died for our sins.. in response, we must repent, for the reviving and refreshment of our souls and for eternity's sake as well. Turn today, tomorrow may be too late, He's only a prayer away (Romans 10:9) God Bless
I don't know if you still read comments, but your story resonated a lot with me. At the beginning of the year I have had a pretty bad work accident and got a concussion. After that, I started getting a lot more anxious than I already was, my depression was getting to critical levels. I realized that I never wanted to work jobs like these ones, that I am wasting my time and that I am not doing anything meaningful. As I grew up I was getting praised and spoiled for being "intelligent and gifted" by family and most of the teachers I've had, and I felt shameful considering my current condition. Anyways, my concussion was pretty scary, I immediately started having lots of issues, but the worst one was my left hand going weak and numb. I picked up the piano a few months prior and I really really loved it, especially since as I was growing up I was listening to a lot of piano music. I already had musical experience, was playing guitar for almost three years, and as soon as I started playing piano I just knew I really, really wanted to do that and only that for the rest of my life. Well, for about 6 months after that concussion... I just could not play at all and I was a horrible mess, doom and gloom, crying at the drop of a hat, etc. I started cutting almost everyone out of my life, only the people that know me the longest are still around, because I was so overwhelmingly negative. I've had a discussion with my parents, they still think this is a "bad idea" and that I will somehow become the "starving artist" type, but honestly... after so much pain and suffering, thinking how society just treats us like replaceable cogs, I'd rather give up on everything and only do what I feel is meaningful to me, unapologetically. Sorry for the long ass comment, I've been bottling it up because my friends don't understand me at all and neither do my parents, even with their age and wisdom. Thank you for the video and sorry for my English.
I'm shaking because you've hit the nail on the head. Going to bed knowing that the next day it starts again and about suicide. I go to bed hoping I don't wake up and the rushing into something is so true. You do need to take time out. Thanks for sharing.
This is too freaking relatable. Even when travelling to work i used to wish i would get into an accidemt and die on the spot. The anxiety I felt is INSANE!
I feel you mate im going through the same thing
So glad I found you man im currently stuck in the the army im on the edge of my seat listening to you Ive been doing the same as you for 13 years in the army im scared shitless of the other side. just about to start FBA because I know I will do well I can feel it. currently off work with depression
No better way to combat depression than taking control of your life, dedicating yourself to something bigger. Good stuff mate trust your instincts. FBA is the way to go.
this is what I've learnt. You'll suffer here or suffer there. Choose one
Suffering comes with great lessons, it’s not to be feared.
it's been a year. how's it going? @@martynscullion
I’d rather suffer doing something I enjoy! Rather than suffering at a job I hate just to have the weekend off and be in debt until I can retire and that’s if I’m lucky enough to retire
Ive spent the last 4 years on my career after 3 years in uni and feel like Ive wasted my time. I was making up to good 6 figures but recently it would suck the life out of me and Id spend the weekends getting smashed. I spent a lot of time getting laid too. And thinking about being rich. Ive quit my job saved some cash and now Im moving to the mountains to go after snowboarding which is my passion. Id rather be poor following my passion than relatively well off hating my life.
Peace Of Mind Brother. Do what gives you peace of Mind.
Love the Scottish dialect and your message Caelan :)
Congrats on making the change 🙏🏾
Thank you brother!
good to hear mate! I've recently left the army after an 8 year vicious cycle of depression and alcoholism to escape. I'm about to join the FBA train, as I no longer can work a 9-5 after my experience. I'm also living full time vanlife next month to escape this prescribed society which we are all forced to endure. keep up the good vids man! if you have any tips for a beginner then they are welcomed mate>
Happens to many of us buddy, sorry to hear. I know the feeling, once you have that experience you can never go back. Van life would be perfect for FBA, it may take a while to get going but good stuff. Drop us a message here or email and I would be happy to help. All the best! 👍
