it all happens when you’re just honest with yourself.
within the last year and a half, i quit my corporate job, became a full-time freelancer, applied to school, moved cities and then dropped out of school... indeed a few drastic decisions... as chaotic as that sounds, i don't regret a single one of those decisions. in this video, i share all of the ups and downs and thought processes that went on behind the scenes.
in short, we can't get to the places we truly want to be in life if we aren't first perfectly honest with ourselves about what those places are. this step of admitting our truest desires to ourselves can be half the battle to reaching them.

    This is a sign. I feel like this video found me at the right time. I live in Malaysia, and I didn’t even follow you or watch this type of content and I rarely comment, but somehow, this popped up-and it’s exactly what I needed. I’ve been feeling so drained, so tired, and honestly just sick of crying all the time, the gut feeling when you know what's right is so real and overwhelming. Hearing your story makes me realize I need to start being honest with myself, even though it feels so scary. Thank you for putting this out there-it really means a lot. I just subscribed and liked it because you’re doing something amazing here. Please keep going

    such an interesting and informative video! just wondering how you differentiate yourself from the other dog walkers in your area? i'm also cat sitting and looking to get into dog walking but i saw there are a lot of walkers in my area that clients can choose from.

    • @__nicoleerin
      @__nicoleerin 19 днів тому

      thanks so much! glad you found the video helpful :) i think that having lots of photos of not only the pets your walking/looking after, but also of yourself with the pets is really helpful; the more an owner can get to know you through your profile, the more likely they'll feel comfortable to choose you versus other sitters! i was also very forward about asking clients for testimonials after doing a few walks for them which of course helps a lot with building trust. and if you're using rover and maintain good ratings & consistency over a period of time, you'll get "star sitter" status, which really really helps you stand out the most i think, since owners can literally filter in the app to search for only star sitters if they want! here's a link more about that if you're curious! www.rover.com/star-sitter/ hope this helps <3 good luck!

    I'm right there with you and we're not alone. A lot of people feel the same way, but either aren't fortunate enough to have a soft landing to fall back on or aren't okay with the idea of being poor. I just quit my job after 13+ years and it's lifted such a dark and heavy weight off my shoulders. Although I was making a solid salary, it was crushing my soul. Looking back it almost feels inhumane and I don't doubt it's a big reason why a lot of people are on anxiety and depression meds in the West. We worship that dollar. You could be a terrible human being, but if you're rich or portray a lifestyle of being rich, people will treat you like you're the second coming of Christ. Anyways, I just want to thank you for being so raw and real in such a vulnerable moment. I respect the hell out of that and it's what everyone is craving. Like Thoreau says, "More than love, money, fame....give me truth." You're helping people by sharing your heart and it's inspiring. Ideally people like you and videos like this are going to be a spark or one of the sparks that ignites change. Keep doing you.

    And once you are "unemployed", you are perceived a certain way by prospective employers. But if you are pursuing your own business, then enjoy the challenge. A corporate job (in insurance no less) is not designed to be 'creative". So one needs to be aware of the nature of the business. It's way better for the company, who will benefit from hiring someone that WANTS to be there.

  • @elizmon8526
    @elizmon8526 3 місяці тому

    I don't allow a "corporate Job" to dictate who I am, or how free I feel. I am free to be me, do as I want. It's a JOB, nothing more. People have mortgages, fixed expenses and other obligations. So quitting is not an option for many. When you are young, and living at home, the options are more there. I don't feel "stuck" at all. I get to pursue what I love and want on the weekends and evenings. I feel grateful for being employed.

    • @__nicoleerin

      that is great for you! i think it's a very person-to-person thing as to whether a 9-5 structure feels fulfilling or not- there's no wrong or right, just what is right for that person :) and yes exactly, i totally agree and acknowledge that quitting is not an option for many- i speak about that in a few of my videos; i had the privilege of still living at home when i quit which gave me the flexibility to begin building my own businesses without having to worry about too many expenses or huge obligations like those you listed.

      love that for you! interior design seems like a super interesting field to get into. i actually didn’t go to school for it- the design project i did was a one-off that i got off of a freelancing site. sorry i can’t help more D: but i will say the way i got that job was just with pictures of rooms i had designed before. i think it’s more of a field that you can get hired in as a result of your portfolio more than a certification or degree or anything. hope that helps!

    I left a job where the supervisor was more on the side of a guy who screwed up and messed up and was constantly trying to put blame elsewhere. Where I had proof that he would mess up. Finally after getting sick I left the company with benefits and went to another job with no benefits but the same environment but now the guy was the boss. I feel trapped and I want to quit. I have a small side hustle that is hardly making any move to take off. I’m alone and tired and have no one to really to turn to and I’m afraid I’m going to get sick again. I want to quit and I’m afraid that I won’t be able to afford to live off my tiny savings and try to get my side hustle really going. I don’t know what to do and I’m scared I’m just going to end up in another lousy job. I know my side hustle will work it’s just a time factor. And leg work. Any advice would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
