I was Paralyzed by Fear and Then I Quit My Job

- It took my 3 years to follow my dreams because I was paralyzed by fear. So many times in life we fail to move on a goal or dream because we are worried about things that truly don't matter in this thing called life. Family is the most important thing and it's important that you live your life for the people that matter the most. In this video I share what took me so long to leave my job and how life is now that I made the decision to follow my dreams.
Im currently planning on quitting my job in about 2 months after we get this big bonus. After that, im out. I cant do it anymore. Im wasting my life. The people are toxic, and it is just time to go!. Wish me luck
Trilly Tha Great way to have the courage man! I know exactly how you feel man. What are you planning on doing when you leave?
Troy Woods i wanna get into videography. What were the feelings you experienced when you first quit your job?
Are you doing it already? Do you have your own equipment and a reel? Do you have a niche market in mind? Like weddings? Or Commercials?
AdventurousDaydreamer well im in school for it. But im not doing it professionally yet. And i want to get into music video production
Trilly Tha Great good luck , I’m quitting tomorrow with no 2weeks notice
If you feel it in your gut, if your whole being revolts on your way to work at the thought of walking thru those doors and that terrible slamming they do, If you look back at your house as soon as you leave your driveway, it is time. Your health is going down the drain and you feel like crying or punching the wall, it is time. Your bosses are draining your spirit and you are no longer that person your wife or husband and kids adored, it is time. No amount of money is worth it if your spirit is broken. Quit and walk away. Keep your health and smile because you and your family deserve the best version of you. Breathe and keep smiling.
Yes@! My job is draining my soul. I've called out sick everyday this week and I'm just so depressed. I'm stressed about money but I can't go back to that place. I come home and I'm yelling at me children. This past week, I've noticed how calm everything is at home. I've been able to cook dinner for them, properly supervise them. We've been communicating more. It's beautiful. Only dilemma is, I'm a single mom of 3. I can't quit, can I?
I cant stop crying about a new job lm at. A freind advised me to leave cause of the environment and said my night job is obviously better cause of the different positions but then said the opposite and suggested that l go back and work with negative person that lm feeling stuck with and lm so confused.
Thank you for this confirmation!
I just did yesterday...toxic dairy plant with miserable backstabbing coworkers that never gave me a moment's peace and a 45 minute drive 10× week thru backwoods at midnight...decided didnt want to compromise my health, car and most of all my spirit..boss was passive aggressive and blamed me for every issue I reached out for help for!! I still feel bad for the possum my car killed when he ran in front of it!! Thank the almight I did not hit a deer...coworker woman would brag about hunting deer!!
I was fedup with my job so I quit. It got to a breaking point and I couldn't hold on to it anymore because although I was making good money, I was not happy. My boss called me to transfer me to another location and gave me this week off as my vacation. But I've decided to quit altogether and although I've been doing it for a long time, it was time to leave. I had no time for myself, I can't date, I lost a relationship because I was unavailable, no time for friends or developing friendships, it was time. I've lost 20lbs so far and I'm happier than I've been in years.
Sorry it took so long to respond. I missed this message. Good for you! Nothing beats happiness! Keep striving to be the best you.
How are things with you in 2018?
same situation here for me too and I quite my job too now I'm blank what to do next
feel the fear and jump anyway. freedom is having choices, spending time with family and still having income.
We have to stop following the old generation about finding a good paying job...... The New generation has to OWN OR BE OWNED!
I agree 100% Bill!
@@troywoods teach our kids to OWN/to be young entrepreneurs..... let's look at the Chinese/Korean people, and I am not racist at all..... but wherever they go,they go to OWN ! It's now or never peace brother
Bill William absolutely! Now or never!
It's an epidemic. So many people are leaving the traditional way of life. I'm one of them, now I'm just tryna figure out what's next!!
What do you own right now?
This is what I have to do. My purpose is to motivate and inspire women by life coaching and motivational speaking. I believe I have to take this leap of Faith
Hey Brittany! Have you taken the leap?
Dear Soul Sisters Tv I would love to do the same...but right now I could use some inspiration.
How is this going for you?
Same here
Hey man I just quit my job about 2 weeks ago. I hope all goes well for you! And I'm ready to go extra hard on my dream!!
Good stuff man! What is it that you do?
Troy Woods I make instrumentals as well as visualizer videos for them! :)
I dislike my job and its inviroment which make me sick most of the year, but I don't have alternative to live.
Thank you for posting this! I do have a big fear, but if I'm not happy and not fulfilling GOD's purpose for my life
You are welcome!!
As a Young Father
Scared of maybe bills won't get paid.. but I'm ready I'm ready to go I'm planning on Feb To have enough money to cover 3 months of bills and go for it. I'm glad I can hear someone with a family made it possible God Bless and Thank You for this video I sub and liked
What's up man! Thanks so much. I'm glad this video made impact with you. Keep pushing for your kids children!
God will provide phillipian 4:19
just wanted to congratulate you man. I know this is an old video, but your probably happier now than you were before you made this video. I hope you have found success in finding your dreams. I'm actually going through the same phase right now. I'm 24 and i just quit my first full time job i just started 2 WEEKS ago. i know it sounds crazy but my parents could tell i wasnt happy and wanted me to follow my dreams which is to become a comedian (performing arts). That's one of the toughest routes because there's a lot of competition and its hard to find a decent job in that field. My parents wanted to support me all the way and I'm thankful and lucky to have parents like that. anyways just wanted to share my journey with someone whose been through the same.
That's awesome Andrew! It's amazing to have supportive parents. I admire you for having the courage to follow your dreams. Thanks for sharing.
I'm into photography as well but I'm also really liking video editing/ doing music videos. I've been doing it for a while and I don't mind spending hours working for my passion ! I also live in Atlanta so I know the possibility of filmmaking is high. I work in this little grocery store that I hate and I feel I'm not appreciated & I work to hard for to little ! I've been contemplating it for minute but I see your video gives me motivation
Jahmal H hey Jahmal, I feel you. It's ironic that I am actually in Atlanta right now for a TLC conference. Follow your heart and just make sure you can manage if you make that move.
I used to live in Atlanta and finding a job is competitive there. There are so many educated folks in low paying jobs. Do your photography, but don't quit your job until you have a replacement source of income and make sure you have 6 to 8 months of rent saved then quit. I made the mistake of quitting a job without the emergency fund while living in Atlanta. It took me 3 months to find another pt job to go with my other pt hustle. I had quit my job to do photography/film too. Get you an internship somewhere if you lack experience, but keep in mind you are interning to network because they don't pay interns in Atlanta unless you get one with Turner/Time Warner. A mentor in photography would help you too, always work on your passion even while you are hustling. :-)
I’m cross this video was for me cause I just made the same move on leaving a job I wasn’t happy at .. but stayed cause of fear .. thank you 🙏🏾
Congratulations on your decision Kimberly!!!!! You’re welcome!
When I retired early I was still fairly young(age 42). I retired early due to becoming disabled on the job. And I was the only woman in my social circle, who was retired! All of my close friends still worked and most of them worked full time! And some of them worked part time and some were self-employed and I even know a small number of them, who worked from home!! And there are relatives, friends and acquaintances of mine who had said they wished that they were retired too!! Some of the reasons why they hate their jobs are,(long hours of work that keeps them from spending time with their families and friends! And they don't get to spend as much of their time at home with their families, as they would like! And they want to spend more time with their families!! And they never seem to have very much time to do very many things that they enjoy doing, besides working)!! They told me that they hated a lot their co-workers and in many cases they hated their bosses, too!!! They even said that they would quit working in a second, if it was a possibility!!! But it isn't a possibllity for many of my relatives, friends and a host of other people, who I know personally!!!! And many of them aren't able to retire anytime soon!!!!!!
Thank you so much !!!! This is the season I am in right now !!!!
Lisa Ingram you are VERY welcome. Keep pushing!
I cant wait to leave my job once and for all
I honestly hope I can quit. Both of jobs.. I've lost so much hair and been depressed on the brink of suicide cause I never have enough money to pay my bills even off of working three jobs.. all I have is my UA-cam channel and me doing my other side business i hope I can do it a year from now I just want to be free
+Its Sharlele we need to chat! I would like for you to see something that I believe may really help.
Its Sharlele what are your biggest expenses in your budget?
Its Sharlele - are you ok??? Please just say that you reached out to the Mr Troy or anyone. Have you heard about Dave Ramsey? Reduce your overhead? Please don’t give up.
Troy Woods what did you send her .
Sippin Wid Sharlele wow look at you now . You have 21,000 subscribers. I bet you were able to quit and at least pay your bills with that 🙂🙂
I recently QUIT with no plan I examined the people I worked around that was all settling didn’t want more and I knew I had to move around..I was already submitting tons of applications before quitting but no offers came..as strange at it may sound doors didn’t opened up for me until I quit!!#FAITH GOD SPOKE TO ME and I just couldn’t ignore him!!
Thank you for the positive message in your video. Many of our going through the same thing(debating whether to quit job) so this message really hits home.
Needed to hear this right now. Thank you. Today's my last day at my job and I'm terrified!
Zethinova Hi Zethinova! Congrats on taking the leap! What will you be doing?

You are welcome! Best to you moving foward
Thanks

Thank you for the encouraging words Troy! this helped out allot..and good to hear.
Glad it helped Junior!!!! Good luck bro
I'm also paralyzed by fear. I want to quit my job to persue another career. But my family doesn't support me.
Did you do it bro?
@@prodbycxrlos I'm still working my full time job. I plan on leaving in early 2021.
@@johnconnor210 that's good man, I saved up to leave mine for close to a year, so that's definitely a wise choice!
@@prodbycxrlos yeah I've been at my job for a year and a half. I've saved a good amount of cash about half a years salary.
God bless you brother!
Brian Cushion thanks brother
Man i feel on you this im 27 and I work on slave ship I work on my brand on the side but there just isn't enough time I'm tired of getting mistreated and disrespected I put my time in in the workforce and I haven't seen any return from it I wanna pursue music production and push my clothing line I gotta let this job go 5 years is long enough ... I guess I'm just afraid because my bday is in April and I wanna get an apartment as a bday gift but just worried if I will have enough savings I know there is money to be made online with dropshipping affiliate marketing etc I guess I'm just on the edge like I don't know, much love for tyhe vid
Start the dropshipping affiliate marketing hustle first and make sure you have 6 to 8 months of rent saved then quit. I made the mistake of quitting a job without the emergency fund. I at least had a pt hustle, but the rainy day fund would have helped me tremendously. Also, have an idea of how you will transition into music. Are you going to intern somewhere or invest in your own studio time? Are you willing to get a roommate?
Hey Troy, I don't know how old you are but you look to be in your late 30's me, I'm in my early 50's so it's kind of scary ...I used to be a pro musician in my 20's I was on the same record label as Whitney Houston and U2, this was in the early 90's I love music, I'm a Blues/ Blues Rock musician and that is the love of my life. I left cuz there was so much drugs EVERYWHERE that it scared me so I bailed on my dream. A dream I had achieved. Don't get me wrong I don't wanna be a Blues or Blues-Rock star I'm happy just playing for a star, just playing back up and recording in the studio. As long as I can play my guitar I'm happy. My current job is killing my soul.
I've wrote my resignation and just deciding on if it's time to hand it in. I'm doing the job I always wanted to do but I've lost passion for it and the job is affecting my health. All I will have if I leave is my UA-cam and twitch. Really want to make the jump as I think just the extra time gives me more time to focus on my own thing. It's a massive risk but I feel sick from my job. I just need to be brave.
Definitely understand where you are... As I share with others, the biggest challenge you will face is looking at your own shortcomings in the mirror. Entrepreneurship forces you to face all of your weaknesses almost immediately. From there, you just have to be honest about how you want to handle things. Things that you are weak in, are you willing to develop or can you have someone else do those things for you? Just a realistic conversation that you have to continually have with yourself.
Very very true love this
I'm 44 divorced,,,,,i want to quit my job , I hate it , 11 years already I'm totally new at photograpghy.....I just want to do it.....put 1000% of my effortand I know I can do it , I like it , I'm afraid , yes, bills bills and bills.....but I heard so much that hard work pays off , not working for somebody else , but for one itself....
Leo this is true my friend. It is hard work but rewarding. One thing that I am doing is creating passive income through other opportunities that are allowing me to really focus on the type of photography that I would like to do without having to feel like I have to take every job that comes along. You do have to hustle, but in the end, it all comes down to being able to manage your own time.
Leo Loyola my friends do $2000 dollar wedding photography and fill the rest of the time with photo shoots
than you bro so much
I wish people would about what they do for medical insurance and expensive it is.
Marz Riv my insurance is 235 a month been working for myself for 5 years now. insurance is not as scary as you think. do you have kids? if you quit your spouse can keep them on their employer plan.
Or you can move to Canada.
Bricks and mortar! Day in and day out...... slashing all day long, my boss won't let me quit
Thank you
well done man
dave11282 thank you Dave!
@@troywoods very inspiring, I am going to go it alone, at least give it a crack, sick of this 9-5 BS, can I ask, what do you actually do ?
I have a photography and media business that is my primary.
@@troywoods wow, sounds great, think many eggs in basket is way to go, have few trades, options on go at once. I am engineer, but can turn my hand to many other skill sets.
dave11282 yes. I think it’s best to have a primary but maybe something else to supplement. Definitely don’t want to spread yourself to thin.
Peace!
I don't believe in staying somewhere where you are absolutely miserable and it's taking time away from your family on top of that. There's nothing wrong with doing what you want to do I commend people for that to live their lives. A lot of these motivational speakers are hell-bent on strictly materialism. If you hate your job quit there's always another BS job somewhere
pine Mapping there are a lot of options available today if people know the direction they want to go.
Bro..l got too much to loose..lm in my 50s n will never find good paying job l have?just hard n heavy..allways in pain n hate my job..terrified to quit..????
Is there anything that you can potentially start on the side? I know how it is having responsibilities man.
Troy whats up bro..l got interview new company..great benefits n shares in company n 7.50 more wages n great news l start in april.
thanks again bro..peace
Victor James That's the way to do it, Victor! How are things going with you?
I put in my notice it was a toxic environment for me and Iam scared
I been thinking about starting a business not sure what to start
💯
How long did it take you to start making comfortable revenue
Hey Jeremy. I started before I left my job. It was a "side hustle" for a while. With that being said it didn't take that long at all. I just had to do more of what I was doing.
