It sounds like you're in a solid situation. If you can, utilize that income coming in and dedicate your entire being to get a jumpstart on leaving that lifestyle behind. I know the corporate BS sucks. If you need the cash, stick with it a little longer and build a bigger cushion. If you are well off, get that mind right and ready to put in some work toward what it is you actually want to do. Good luck! As for how I am after taking my leap? I talked about how that job absolutely sucked and there were some unethical things going on. So, I bounced. My mental is more important than any dollar you can throw at me. I spent some time exploring some interests of mine. It was around this time that I actually started my UA-cam channel, so I got interested in creating content and built some skills with a camera. I'm still an amateur, haha, but I can get by a little bit. I knew I wanted to work with my hands so I did some work in construction but realized it wasn't really the path I wanted to go down within about a year. During this time I also purchased a struggling gym (no business processes from the old ownership and really just a hobby for them). I'm a problem solver and I love taking problems and creating solutions. So, I got my hustle on here... I bought the gym, stayed in the construction job to keep some funds coming in. Did both at the same time and hustled like you wouldn't believe. Today, the gym has more than doubled in membership base and I've created a culture of people that want to get better, not those that just check a box off. I have been a coach for over 12 years and have always kept some clients. Owned a gym before, so this was a good opportunity. The business is in a very healthy place with profitability and revenue has almost doubled in that time. As I mentioned, I knew the construction job wasn't my long term path, but I was building skills with UA-cam. I ended up leaving that job and picking up a fully remote job with solid pay where I help major brands create in-store video content. This job has given me a ton of flexibility (enough to build my gym into a solid brand in my local community). Eventually, I'll leave this job and move more to an autonomous life, but I'm doing some investing right now to build a strong support in the future for my wife and I, and hopefully, our extended family. It's been quite the path and a lot of late nights and early mornings, which is why I haven't been uploading to my channel as much lately. But, I'm here trying to build something for my wife and I so we don't have to be chained to garbage jobs with garbage people. I am addicted to pulling the best I can out of myself and other people. If you are going to quit your job with no backup plan, you gotta have an internal drive that refuses to let the "norm" sway you. You need a mind that can last longer than others, especially in the toughest times. I know I came out of this in a good spot, but if one expects this to be an easy road, full of chasing life's passions with no worry about money, it's wrong. A lot of negative self-talk and self-doubt was sprinkled in along the way, but I refused to settle for my view of mediocrity. Hope this helps to illustrate what can actually happen when you close a door in pursuit of another.

I’m 46 and I envy you because if I had made that decision 10 years ago my life would be much happier today I’m now working towards quitting but I feel like I wasted so much of my time your family doesn’t understand because not everyone sees that it’s a waste of your life working to make someone else’s dream come true forgive them they are just ignorant but I’m sure they love you

@@mosimosi630 never too late, my friend. 46 is better than 66. Let's go!

@ you’re so right

I only post videos on topics I can speak from experience on. But, there is always a mountain to climb.

Really enjoyed reading your story. Love to see the underdog win. Others will think you’re crazy, but it’s not for them to understand. At the end of the day, you gotta lean into that intuition. If it doesn’t work out, you always learn.

Keep it going!

Let’s go! Get after it!

100% - it is definitely a little trial and error to find that sweet spot. I absolutely agree.

Sounds like you are burned out. Part of what drives us is having purpose and having a sense of meaning. When you say “just live my life”, I’m not sure what you mean there. I’d start by asking, What is your definition of your ideal life? Then, reverse engineer that to develop an end goal.

I’m going to be straightforward with you. You probably need to listen to the entire statement again instead of picking apart segments of a larger statement in an attempt to validate your limiting thoughts. If you’re going to get out of a tough situation, like quitting a job, you need to own the fact that there are no excuses when it comes to broadening your education to build a way out for yourself. if you want to take ownership in yourself and your actions, my content is for you. If that’s not you, I’m not for you.

5 tasks for 75 hard plus 3 additional See this link - it shows the main 5 tasks for 75 hard andyfrisella.com/blogs/articles/what-is-75-hard?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAC7HfYv4CKGjPYUPS4E8A_6xpNygF&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2ZyJx56uiAMV_RGtBh3XuwOgEAAYASAAEgJi9PD_BwE

@@NickTShelton Pheww! Was thinking 8 extra is too many haha! Lets get it brother

@@JordaanW Haha, I feel ya, man! It was confusing to me first, as well (and I've noticed the same response for a lot of other people). I think it's just phrased a little oddly in the program, but I did some deep diving and research on Andy's podcasts and other websites to figure it out. You should be good to go now! Stay hard!

@@NickTShelton awesome stuff! Thank you brother. Day 1 going well. Need to remember to keep on top of this water 💧

It’s gets the job done!

Glad to hear you are starting and continuing on. Keep going. 🫡

Good luck, buddy. Get healthy and best wishes to you on your journey. Don't give up on yourself and keep movin' along!

Thanks for watching - glad you liked it

Thank you for watching

This is so true. I’ve been told the same thing. “When you grow closer to God, the enemy wants you that much more.” Haha, I like your humor! I do want to remind you though, you’ve always been worth fighting for. Sometimes, it just takes a while for us to realize that being a warrior for the kingdom of God is one of the highest honors we can be blessed to have. Be blessed, my friend! 🫡

I appreciate you checking this one out! Having been through the ups and downs after hanging up the competition shoes, it’s helped develop a different perspective. It’s taken me a long time to find purpose in other areas and it’s something I still struggle with in a sense today. I’ve found a lot of purpose in living a life like I would imagine God would want. I really miss the adrenaline I get from high pressure situations in sports, but there are many similarities I’ve found in other areas of life that help that fulfillment. At the end of the day, it’s a work in progress, but my identity can no longer be in worldly things and must be greater than myself. Again, I appreciate you watching and I hope to have given you a perspective you can take with you on your walk.

Yep. You got it. Good insight.

Love to see it. Keep growing.

Congrats on the finish Kirk! Keep that momentum rolling!

Yep, that’s a victim mentality

Thank you for watching

You are capable. Keep going.

Just watched it - solid video

Proud of you for taking a huge step! Keep going! 🫡

Get after it - hope you're still rockin' and rollin'

Keep up the good fight, Miles. Do what you gotta do to get where you wanna go. It may not seem clear at the moment, but you'll be right where you need to be if you keep pressing on.

@NickTShelton I will say regardless of being mostly broke most of the time my life is more at peace regardless and I never once regretted my choice. Always remain positive and be grateful for the things you do have and blessings will come 🙏

@@mileswestmoreland5515peace gives you clarity and clarity will take you far. 🙏🏼🫡

I hate to hear that you're going through it right now. Stay on it though, things get better. Keep working toward learning more about yourself. Be patient through this process, as painful as it is. You'll come out the other side a brand new person. Keep going.

@NickTShelton thank you so much. I've learning to take it slow. It took 42 years to get here it's going to take longer than a year to get better. Thank you.

@@Oma4317 Love the mindset - it's not overnight, but it's on the horizon.

Thanks, Adam - I appreciate you, my friend.

@NickTShelton thanks Nick but just knowing I am not alone and the clarity of thought in which you presented this information wss helpful.

Thanks for the kind words, Patrick. It is much appreciated. It's a tough mindset for the masses to understand and it's what makes high performers reach heights others can't imagine. Please share it with others you feel can relate. Keep up the work, man. You aren't finished yet. God bless you, my friend.

@@NickTShelton Haha yeah man of course, it's definitely a video I need to make and talk about myself Gotta give back and just share my story, give value, and hopefully try and inspire others while educating them on this very unspoken mentality. It's a very powerful one if used correctly, but it's one of those mindsets that you have to go all in on and fully commit to, otherwise you end up chasing 2 rabbits ya know? Really makes me wonder and ask: "Would you rather be feared or loved? If you couldn't be both?" A very ruthless mindset, but sometimes it's one of the only ways to win

Yeah… it’s an interesting system. At one point, having a degree got you in the door to a lot of opportunities that weren’t available, especially financially. Now, there are people with degrees that make less than someone that dropped out of high school. The career landscape has changed but we are slow to change our minds to keep up. In recent years, people have pursued different avenues for education but we are still far away from that being the norm.

Love that - you’re exactly right, Curt. We need more “real” people.

I appreciate that

I appreciate it Leo

Personally, I would give yourself a break in between. Part of the challenge in 75 hard is to build the muscle of getting knocked off track and being able to show back up. It’s good practice to give yourself some time after 75 Hard and then pick back up again for Phase 1

Thanks man - you can DM me @nicktshelton on IG or reach out through the about section on my channel

@@NickTShelton Just sent you a dm brother! please have a check and let me know

I appreciate that, man!

Thanks a lot, I appreciate that.

Thanks for watching! Yeah, I’m forever grateful for him as he taught me a lot, but ultimately led me to where I needed to be most.

Thanks for watching, Viv. I’m pumped to hear about your dream of running marathons! Sounds like you are putting in some work. You are correct, strength is king as we get older. Don’t fear the weight room. I know it can be intimidating but that may be your ticket to joint healthy, especially if you don’t have a lot of experience lifting weights. Just make sure you have proper form and allow yourself time to build up to heavier weights. I’ll for sure share some gym tips in future videos. I’ve been in the fitness world for over 20 years and coaching for 12 years, I’ve just never made too much content on that side of things.

@@NickTShelton : Thank you. Looking forward to seeing many more.
