Girl I was 23 making 100K a year and now I’m 25 and a freelancer for a year making 25K but I live a better life now lol I lost 100 pounds, got my menstrual cycle back after it being gone for a year due to stress I fixed my teeth, grew out my hair, got therapy, stopped eating out and eating unhealthy and I’m really excited for my next chapter in sha Allah, I’ll keep you in my prayers sis
Baaybaay!! These babies about to fuck up the whole globe! I’m a millennial, self employed, spiritually awakened, 1/2 mill in assets, & I’ve only just started let alone the gen x ers. They on some next level isht 🚀
I quit one a year ago with encouragement from this video and am about to put in my 2 weeks at another one! The role is so boring but somehow so stressful at the same time and it's trashing my mental wellbeing 🙃 + I get paid minimum wage and am expected to carry the work of 4 people after just staring the position a few months ago and not being trained. Really good stuff
My boss held a company wide meeting talking about how many young employees were quitting and how our generation is different from the older ones. So proud of u for quitting! It’s time for employers to step it up and accommodate US.
As a Gen X'er, I am so proud of the younger generations taking control of their futures and not being beholden to the company line. Lynette made sure she could financially do it and that's fantastic. What would be a HUGE help, and this is my opinion only, would be if healthcare wasn't tied to our jobs. The possibilities for citizens without that heavy burden needs to be explored instead of being dismissed as "socialism". Good luck to all of you taking the plunge like Lynette has!!
@@madamextraordinary511 Yep, I agree 100%. As a fellow Gen Xer, I can say that company loyalty has gone out the window and hopefully for good. The youngsters are coming into their own and the work place will be far different than the last 50 years.
that’s the card business owners like to pull but they never want to discuss their part in the situation like I don’t know treating their workers like valued employees, showing compassion for their employees and the circumstances they might endure
Yes ma’am! I’ve had many low energy people try to keep me down with their limiting beliefs, it’s not ever easy to move past that, but it is possible. And the other side is so nice!
This “chase the bag” culture is so damaging. I’ve learned that so many more rich and fulfilling opportunities unfold when you chase your passion. This is dope Lynette. Praying for yours and everyone else’s journey as they discover their true callings, whatever that may look like. 👏🏿 👏🏿👏🏿🎉 Congrats!
Yuppp completely agree. I went through a phase where I went crazy and was obssessed with trying to make money online for like 2 or 3 months. I went to sleep and woke up thinking about making money online, so happy I am over it now and just living life, ofcourse I wanna make extra income but I am crazy about it anymore, I dont choose to be.
I'm not afraid of loosing my job or quitting my job, I'm not gonna freak out because while doing my 9_5 job I'm also investing putting my money back to work, I'm not just after the money but the freedom to live on my terms
Hey speaking of investing, I have heard many people talk about it. But I really dont know how to start and make a good investment. Can you Share more info please
You're going to be fine. I quit my job 4 years ago with a child. Listen, God is REAL and He was there always have been way before Amazon so your job is not even your source of living. At least you checked your finances, you had time to have fears. I was numb yet never ever been more certain that I can no longer work for the bank. My story is similar to yours, toxic work environment, just learning about my job and how the bank operates challenged me morally and ethically and religiously so I chose my faith. I chose God and my life hasn't been so blessed. From that decision I learned and saw God being God in every aspect in my life. He even opened a door I never imagined, I traveled abroad for the first time, all expenses paid, nice hotels, in and out board rooms mingling with important people in spaces I never ever imagined I would, never even dreamed actually but God is God and you will be where He wants you to be. God is so big He can do anything. If I never quit my job for the reasons I did, I would have never known there are doors God can open we know nothing about. You will be fine. Enjoy your new journey!
@@Paradiselife-13 God is so BIG and our fears limit Him because if can't see how big He is then our world remains small and limited to only what we can imagine but if we TRUST GOD and OBEY Him, HE will do the things that only GREAT JEHOVAH can do. After my experience, I am convinced God does not like cowards but the brave and courageous, oh He loves. You see, when you are brave and courageous, you are moved by faith, the substance of things unseen, and that places God in His position of Creatorship where suddenly doors flung open, doors you knew nothing about. God has a million ways to provide for us, a job is only one of the million ways so TRUST GOD. PRAY UNCEASINGLY AND COMMIT ALL YOUR PLANS TO HIM. Oh you also need to be patient because it won't be easy but try to look for God in every situation, everything because one thing I know, the Devil loathes people who take a stand and who won't allow him to dictate and abuse them by inflicting fears in our minds of ''what will you eat?'', God already told us, ''DO NOT WORRY ABOUT WHAT YOU SHALL EAT AND WEAR, GOD KNOWS YOU HAVE NEED OF THESE THINGS. LOOK AT THE BIRDS, ALL THEY DO IS WAKE UP AND PRAISE GOD. FOOD IS READY AND ALL THEIR NEEDS FOR THE DAY ARE MET.'' I paraphrased this verse but if only we can learn to TRUST GOD! It shall be well.

The fear of what society might think of you, your friends/family but also the stigma you might feel to carry around has an effect on the decision in staying in your job or not. There are too many people miserable in their job, that it became a new norm. So quitting your job because it affects your mental health feels selfish... What is your work situation at the moment and how do you feel about it?
As long as you can pay your own way... Just don't feel entitled to other people's money they paid in taxes if you run out of money and are unwilling to work
Wow I officially quit my job, today was my LAST DAY. 🎉 I'm Workin on my dream to become a singer songwriter. It's scary and it won't be easy but If i don't make the first step now I'll never know what it's like to even try to chase my dreams .
I quit too back in April. I literally had this feeling that I wasn’t allowed to quit, right before I did it. Had to keep reminding myself that this employment is AT WILL.
I submitted my resignation this past Monday. Wasn't happy, bored AF, my time was being wasted, and I was working under someone who clearly got their job thanks to good 'ol nepotism. Looking forward to July 12th!
I’m 25 and I quit my job last month. It’s the highest I’ve ever been paid but I felt so unfulfilled. I prayed and asked God to help me reach my target of $60,000 by October in my business, but I changed that to $100,000 I want to break the barrier of 9-5 and relaying on jobs. I still applied for new jobs but my goal is to dive deep in my business. Long story short so far so good and I only had that one pay check. You will be okay and will blossom the more 🌸
Bless you dear ❤️ such words inspired me to push for more! I’ve been doing it. Working and maintaining my business. Been a hell of a stress but I’m grateful. I found a good IA lead me through investing that has been a good decision. I’m growing! So far so good making good returns and looking to build a good retirement portfolio from now
I applaud you. The younger generation are going to break the curse of selling your soul and peace of mind for the sake of money. For all the people cautioning her due to finances, the decision is already done. I'm sure she figured it out before posting this video so keep your opinions and reservations to yourself. We are not always meant to be doing, sometimes we need to just be. Be happy, be peaceful be present, not slaving away for someone for the rest of our lives. By the time we retire, we are to ill and tired to really enjoy life. So enjoy life now!!
I also made the hard decision to leave my 9-5 $80,000/year job to improve my quality of life, so I completely understand the emotional roller coaster that goes along with the process. It's tough. I actually made a video on it too. I think your videos helped me accept that life isn’t all about the work grind, which is ironic because I was employed as a Career Coach for the last 10 years. Career and life is much more then a compilation of actions and accomplishments at work. And burnout is particularly a challenge if your in an organization or department that doesn't align with your values anymore (which seemed to be your and many other people's case). Good on you for having the courage to create meaningful change in your life!
Money isn't worth your mental health and values. I recently quit a job that paid well but was destroying my mental health for another job which pays a bit less but I am so much happier.
I was in the hospital for 16 days last month and as a result I missed my last 8 shifts. Today was my first day back at work and they had a write-up waiting for me. This job don’t give a fuck about me.
I was in this exact same position. Iquit my job last year. Everyone told me not to do it. I still don’t have a job but I’m the happiest I’ve ever been in my life. I’ve found myself and I stood up for myself in that process as well. I’m so happy for you. I love how we’re prioritizing ourselves more now. I love this shift of consciousness we’re going through. Infinite love and gratitude. I wish you nothing but the best.
Also resigned this month, two days ago, and like her I legit argued w myself so many times but I did it! So glad. It was the right choice I needed a break!
I literally walked out today at my job . I gave her a week notice . I had my own reasoning and then she had the audacity to say “You screwed us over” making me sound ungrateful . Jokes on her cause I found a new job literally perfect timing! This job wasn’t my career path . I’m so happy I left . I didn’t wanna leave like this but I have no regrets ❤️
I just quit my job today haven’t told anyone and I’m so nervous yet so excited to create more content and really enjoy my life I was so worried about money abs paying bills and u know what ima let the universe figure that all out for me that’s not my job but im free !!! Mental health was my main priority
How’s it going months later? I didn’t work for months last year. Due to Covid and I needed a break I was happier not working. But got really depressed when I didn’t have a schedule and enough money for things. I would like to quit again have my own schedule and work on my small biz.
@@heyitssheaxo hey i am currently not working and even though i love to be a lawyer ( i studied law ) the work environments were toxic and did not give me any work to do just sit on the pc and do nothing ;g i am doing art now and trying to keep a schedule while at home while i find something ! i go get coffee - do workout read news - art etc ! why did u stop work if i may ask ?
Stay positive girl. It's always scary at first. But when you know, you know. It's important to honour how you feel, and value yourself and your happiness over a job. There are plenty of jobs out there, there's only one you; and most importantly, you've only got one life.
Yes, God gives us signs. So glad you came to peace with your new journey. Being quiet, not asking for everyone's opinions, but praying to God and listening was exactly what you needed. Best of luck beautiful.
I just quit my 9 to 5. All it did was drain me, I got treated like crap and it caused me to be sick. It goes against what I stand for and soul purpose. It was time. Life is too short to do something you don't want to do or something thats not meant for you. 💯
I remember leaving my retail job, with absolutely no plan, no savings, but I had had enough and was on the brink of going crazy. when I walked out of that place I felt such a palpable sense of relief. It was almost like literally physically feeling lighter. I totally resonate with this. ps God had bigger plans for me that's why he gave the courage to leave despite having nothing to fall back on.
YES! I work retail now. I'm praying God will let me be a bank teller at my credit union. I actually am close with someone who's been there for years and will give a great recommendation to the manager. I want out of retail and some people who have worked with me are creepy as heck! I've had to complain to HR for men sexually harassing me and I've had quite a few try to date me there. I hate that. I really want a sign but only if God allows it for me. The best of luck to YOU, hun. 😇
I also have retail job. After corona lockdown i still staying at home . Company still quiet no plan reopened soon. I have fear and bad feeling i starting to thinking about myself what im gonann do in my life . Im 25 i feel fear
I’m leaving my retail job in 2 weeks and I’m so scared but I am so depressed by this job but I know God has a plan in my life where I won’t be so depressed
I have like 12 versions of my two weeks notice printed and ready to hand In 😂 My work is so high stressed and I’m severely underpaid compared to my peers.
Same here! But you're ahead of me with the two weeks printed. I need to get mine done today and turn that s--- in on Monday! Cheers to our mental health and regaining control of our lives! 👏
I have been in a toxic work environment, it takes so much of your energy and time. When I left mine, those first few days free, I felt skittish like I was out of place and it let me know just how much it affected me. Then it felt so liberating! I'm happy for you. 🤗 Caring for yourself will always be more important than working for someone else.
I’ve been here before and felt such relief when I finally quit. I’ve just started a new job and it’s soooo much better already. You’ll be fine. God bless you!
I’ve had so many jobs that just make me feel miserable deep down. I quit so many so soon when I would first start because of my anxiety and I just can’t work for shitty companies anymore. I’m starting to see that 9-5 jobs just don’t do well for me and I have BIG goals in life. Found one that I feel sorta content with for now so I can have paychecks and stuff but I cannot wait until I reach my goal. The outdated ideal world of school-get a job-work til you die just isn’t acceptable anymore cause we too smart for that shit. ❤️
Just dont buy a house and keep your car like I did with a toyota more than 15 years. You will realize you can live on part time work especially if you have a roommate or wife in an apartment or rent part of a 2 family house.
After nearly 9 years as a registered nurse, I retired two years ago. It was not an easy decision, but life is too short to dread going to work every day. No amount of money can buy real happiness Lol. But, friends, I'm not asking you to quit your work or forsake your business, but rather be wise!
@Olivia Jayden While I was still in the service, I prepared for early retirement, earning roughly $2,000 per week from my investment portfolio and working hard to establish new side hustles and extra income
@Brown Jones There are numerous investment options available, including real estate, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), stocks, and cryptocurrency, but my best suggestion is to hire a professional to guide you through the process
Lynette, I am smiling extremely hard rn watching this. I am genuinely SO proud of you. You deserve everything you desire. You inspire me to never give up and not settle for less.
Good for you on taking that step. I quit a job this year I was only at for about 4 months but within that 4 months I was subjected to so much workplace hostility and sabotage. I knew I had to leave because I would be soo angry and depressed each morning. I also stopped eating because my anxiety was out of this world. I quit without looking back. Honestly the best decision I made!
This is on a smaller scale, but I’m a college student and I recently quit my job that I’ve had since high school because I wasn’t being treated well and def wasn’t being paid enough and lemme tell you!! Quitting a job is so empowering!! I didn’t even have another job lined up but I still did it, It was scary but I’ve already found another job that aligns more with my values and I’m already so much less stressed! If you’re considering quitting a job 10/10 recommend doing it, things will work out eventually if you put in the work :)
I saw a meme that said “we need to normalize leaving after the first red flag, I won’t but you can” 😂😂 Im so proud of you for leaving after only a few flags.
It can feel that we can't quit our job, because we are so afraid of our financial state. And then quitting a job, because we didn't "like it" (because you can't ignore the red flags) can feel childish right? I've had to listen to so many conversations where people say "ah, get over it", "be an adult and take on responsibility". BUT honestly, the moment I quit the jobs which didn't align with my values and said NO to situations/people, my life started to change. I started to see and interact with clients and jobs that align with my values, without any red flags.
I just put my two weeks in yesterday, and I am proud I made that decision for my mental health, as I was crying on and off the job about the job itself. So stressed out and depressed, dreading and crying while getting ready for work. All for a job I got a degree for. It was not worth it😂 but I’m happier without.
Early in my tech career (around 2014) I got to the final stages for an interview to work at Amazon. I was living in London at the time. Looking back now, the entire process was the most intense, cult-like experience ever. I didn't get the job in the end. I've spoken to countless friends who have worked there who report the same thing as you - overwork, overwhelm, no work-life balance, feeling like they're working for a toxic machine, etc. You are so incredibly inspiring. Showing up so vulnerably and taking this brave step will create ripple effects that will positively impact others. You're not afraid to shake shit up. We need more people like you in the world. I rarely ever comment on videos, I'm normally a pretty passive subscriber. But you are one to watch. Thanks for showing up for all of us, Lynette.
Had the same experience working in trivago ( a German start up). Had to work 8-20 and join the “team-building events” afterwards regardless of the fact that I was married, had home I wanted to actually go back to.. if you don’t spend most of your time with them, you are frowned upon and not a team player.
I quit mine during quarantine. It was such a emotional roller coaster. I wish that I had something to back it up because I struggled for food and living after that.
Exactly, no one needs to give an explanation. If your not happy and you know you don’t want to be there anymore there is really no point in putting a two week notice , just leave .
I got sooo emotional with you at 16:08 when you started shaking! Congratulations on making your dream a reality, and thank you for being an inspiration for those of us trying to find our place still
Wow I’m rooting for you! I can’t wait until I can do this. You made the right decision. If you hadn’t done it, you could have missed an amazing opportunity to be set for life. Everything you do now counts so much more and I’m so excited to see your journey and see you continue to blossom!
This is such an inspiration for me. I have been going through so much BS at my current job that has been taking such a toll on my mental health. The pay allowed me to live comfortably but it’s definitely not worth the stress and anxiety I constantly deal with on a daily basis. This video was my sign to follow my dreams and quit my job. Thank you 💕
@@sacdiyaahmed2810 yes of course, I do staffing for a nursing agency. We would be required to do this thing called “on call” where nurses are able to call after hours if they needed the call out or had any specific questions. The worst part about it is that if there was a call out, I would have to drop whatever I am doing to find a replacement for that shift.
Sucks that this world makes people choose money over morals and comfort. It is never worth it to do things that don't make you happy and make you miserable.
Yeah, I'm working in customer tech support atm. (I'm actually an actor) So, yesterday I actually heavily implied to a customer that another provider might have more to offer for him at the place he's living. And I think I kinda crossed a line there that I shouldn't cross very often.
“If you work on something a little bit every day, you end up with something that is massive.” Never doubt small changes sharing some love from small UA-camr
You were feeling so anxious the day of quitting because you are literally saying goodbye to that part/version of yourself! It is only natural to feel that way for a little, because I don't think you will ever be working a 9-5 again!!
So proud of you Lynette, I feel like every single video you’ve made since “I don’t have a dream job” has been leading up to this moment and I’m so glad you came to this decision! When you trust God and walk in Faith things will fall perfectly in place💫 excited to continue following you along this journey! We need more transparent, courage and honest content creators like you, much love😘
really needed this video. I’m going to college in the fall and I very much want to quit my job and focus on my passions and work on finding myself. I’ve been back and forth for months and the fear and unknown holds us back from a lot of things but I take this video as a sign❤️
literally just got sabotaged by my "manager" and then got blindsided with a PIP and was forced to resign from my demanding but lucrative startup. i feel you completely! im literally going back to working at a boba shop and chillin cause i am burnt tf out. but honestly im so much happier unemployed stuck at home than i was with the highest paying job ive had in my career
@@desireemoyiare oh no!! i hope that you can at least get unemployment benefits and rly screw them over LOL. im just glad to not be working there anymore it was a nightmare
@@lizzysarealtornow2682 unfortunately no i was only there for two and a half months :/ basically the reason i resigned early was so they couldnt fire me cause it was pretty obvious they were plannin to fire me even before my PIP was up
@@eeeyooohoh If this happens again don’t resign, let them fire you so you can collect unemployment. And then just tell new employees that you were laid off.
I just LOVE how transparent you are with your life. I quit my job around the same time you did and it was literally like a weight lifted off my shoulders. Trust me girl, God’s got us and there’s nothing we can’t do if we manifest it.
I know the feeling of going back and forth with your thoughts of quitting in regards to playing it safe. I quit my job 2 months ago and I’ve never had more time for myself to pursue what I actually want to do. Im learning to trust the process and have faith that everything will work out. This video was very inspiring and encouraging. Thanks for sharing!
Sis it was probably the best decision you’ll ever make . And baby when One door closes God will open a window . The 50 year old you will look back and smile
I quit my job about two weeks ago now, i was working in the cannabis retail industry. Its crazy hearing sooo many similarities to your story. Im currently gardening while i figure out a career path that better matches my values. Money was a concern for me too, i didnt want to take a pay cut after landing what seemed like a great job after college, but I truly realized just how much happier I am with more freedom. Im so happy for you girl!!! I love your content, and resonate with you so much
seeing you is so affirming. I am in the process of unlearning what I thought was was normal in terms of worknand progress not just for my body but for my spirit. I had this moment and have been feeling so many different things and realize that its not strange to want more and to not be okay with complacency.
I feel like this video is so raw. I haven’t seen something this raw on UA-cam in a long time. I am so happy for you leaving your job and I’m glad you didn’t fake all the emotions and your fears. You are human and I wish you nothing but the best✨
the funk is totally normal. we live in a world where we are use to being in a high energy state from work. so when you remove that it brings your body and mind back to homeostasis which is a natural thing we should all feel and not be worried about giving other people that dont care about our well beings energy that dont deserve it. I'm so happy for you, glad this is my first video watching of yours and def not my last. everything is happening for you not against you.
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my UA-cam channel 2 months ago about self development and now have more than 100 subs and almost 70 hour watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so much lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place
Better things are to come your way! Its great that you have an understanding of what you want when most people stay in a job/workplace they hate, just because, although all situations are different. I wish you Goodluck on your journey moving foward!!!!
Thank you for being so candid about your journey. I know it took a lot of strength to do so. I feel that a lot of the time, the topic of pursuing what you're passionate about can be glamourized, which is great, but the struggle to get there isn't shown as much. We appreciate you sharing this journey as you go along 💕
the fact that growth happened _so_ fast that u could do it in half the time you expected, there really is a plan out there for you, i’m rooting for u 🤍!!
I just sent in my resignation letter today. My tech job has taken a toll on me and left me uninspired because it is not my passion. My family and friends have convinced me to stay far beyond the time I wanted to and after sending in my letter today my job is currently trying to convince me to stay as well, yet they are not willing to raise my pay. I am a recording artist and songwriter and they take advantage of that by asking me to perform without compensation. Thank you for sharing this video because this is definitely a sign for me that its time to go. I know my worth!!!!
I’m so happy for you. It’s so inspiring! I’ll have to watch this over and over again along with reading the book The Big Leap to keep the faith and not be scared.
so proud of you! I quit a job last summer that didn’t align ethically with my beliefs and was truly ruining my mental health. It was the best decision I’ve ever made. You’re gonna do great. Love your content ❤️
Thanks for your transparency. I quit around the same time due to similar reasons. I refuse to continue putting energy into someone else’s dream when I can contribute the same energy into self employment. The stress and anxiety associated with corporate America is ridiculous. Self perseverance, self discovery, positive experiences, self care, and mental health maintenance are key. Congratulations on your new found freedom 💕
I love this! One of the best quotes I’ve learned through my entrepreneurial journey is to never take advice from someone who isn’t where you want to be. You were smart not to tell anyone that you quit!
I just found your content after weeks of meditating and crying asking my spirit guides and source to send me knowledge that is going to inspire me to create. I get paralyzed with fear of not being smart enough or I get overwhelmed very easily and that stops me from moving forwards with my dreams. I have a little one and do NOT want to pass this on to him, I want him to be proud of his mommy for going after her dreams. Yours videos resonate incredibly, I'm very spiritual, I have so much knowledge on holistic healing and beauty, I got to say tech scares me, I've never been savvy at it. Any-who I'm so grateful I found your content. Thank you for being you Lynette.
Mmmmm when you said I got promoted the week George Floyd died with no pay promotion, was a aha moment. That’s fucked up! They literally moved you up to save face. Smh. New subbie here. Congrats on taking a big step 🤎
Another option that may be helpful is to find a temp job that would interest you that’s not intensive. This would allow you to continue making content while still having a paycheck from a job you’re not committed to long-term - which will also give you space to continue to work on yourself and what you wanna try next! Just a thought!
what you are referring to are either very temp and stress you out looking for next pay or a steady low pay mindless job that the bosses still require full attention and effort.
@@asadb1990 I see the point you’re making and that’s one way to look at it. But speaking from the perspective of my own experience, there are recruiters out there who will help in keeping you within temp jobs only if that’s your preference, you just need to be transparent with them. Let them know you’d like to start interviewing once the contract is coming to an end. Not all companies are looking to expand head count permanently especially for short-term projects. Also, of course any job requires focus and attention, and you’d still need to follow an interest/strength which will allow you to perform naturally. That’s why I mentioned she temp to try different things of interest, which can help broaden her experience and bring clarity to her vision.
@@tanyalasagna_ i get your way. but in my experience even for temp jobs they want highly experienced folks who are desparate for work. and if you lack the desparation to work like a dog, they will end your months long contract in a few weeks. i have been hired a few times in the past where i was let go soon after and excuse was "i lack the urgency and drive". i worked my ass off. but i never ran to finish work early because that just meant more work. as far as recruiters are concerned they have all mostly been a waste of time. they would pitch me for jobs but after interviewing it was clear client wanted someone highly experienced for little pay. and that level experience only came at desparation
@@asadb1990 sorry to hear you’ve had such a bad experience. I can see why you feel the way you do. But not all experiences will be bad, it’s worth trying if it helps to move closer to the greater goal/vision.
What a freeing moment. In literally smiling as you sent it and I felt a wave of peace come over me. I feel for you sis!! Congrats. And seeing how happy and relieved you are after just shows that you did the right thing. Sending you all the love. 222
So proud of you girl! For years I’ve been seeing your content, everything from real estate to college to manifesting… you always seem to pop up on all my socials, even before I started following! I’m in the Austin area now and would love to learn from/be mentored by you♥️ your content is amazing and I feel like the universe is telling me you have some valuable ideas to share 🥰
I am so happy for you! I was watching your other videos when I was contemplating quitting my own job, and I finally quit 2 weeks ago and I’m so much happier! You are a huge inspiration to me and so many others and I hope you find your life path and you find happiness ❤️
Girl I was 23 making 100K a year and now I’m 25 and a freelancer for a year making 25K but I live a better life now lol I lost 100 pounds, got my menstrual cycle back after it being gone for a year due to stress I fixed my teeth, grew out my hair, got therapy, stopped eating out and eating unhealthy and I’m really excited for my next chapter in sha Allah, I’ll keep you in my prayers sis

It’s called be smart why work a 9-5 instead of being self employed did you know you can get rich from real estate without using your own money ?
If it costs you your peace, it’s too expensive. If you aren’t happy, it’s not worth it. ✌🏽
-love from a growing youtuber💚
I love the way you said that...literally poetic
It's that simple. Beautifully put, brother!
I love that! So true!
Lol jackass...true though
I NEEDED THIS
I have quit two jobs already! No one is about to fuck up my mental health.
I quit one a year ago with encouragement from this video and am about to put in my 2 weeks at another one! The role is so boring but somehow so stressful at the same time and it's trashing my mental wellbeing 🙃 + I get paid minimum wage and am expected to carry the work of 4 people after just staring the position a few months ago and not being trained. Really good stuff
My boss held a company wide meeting talking about how many young employees were quitting and how our generation is different from the older ones. So proud of u for quitting! It’s time for employers to step it up and accommodate US.
As a Gen X'er, I am so proud of the younger generations taking control of their futures and not being beholden to the company line. Lynette made sure she could financially do it and that's fantastic.
What would be a HUGE help, and this is my opinion only, would be if healthcare wasn't tied to our jobs. The possibilities for citizens without that heavy burden needs to be explored instead of being dismissed as "socialism".
Good luck to all of you taking the plunge like Lynette has!!
@@madamextraordinary511 Yep, I agree 100%. As a fellow Gen Xer, I can say that company loyalty has gone out the window and hopefully for good. The youngsters are coming into their own and the work place will be far different than the last 50 years.
that’s the card business owners like to pull but they never want to discuss their part in the situation like I don’t know treating their workers like valued employees, showing compassion for their employees and the circumstances they might endure
@@madamextraordinary511 why do people always make comments that are country specific. Outside the U.S, we watch UA-cam too 😂🤪
all generations quit....i'm 53 and i quit jobs and started my business
"no one knows your situation except for you..." THIS.
Yes ma’am! I’ve had many low energy people try to keep me down with their limiting beliefs, it’s not ever easy to move past that, but it is possible. And the other side is so nice!
Yes only you know what’s best for you!
This “chase the bag” culture is so damaging. I’ve learned that so many more rich and fulfilling opportunities unfold when you chase your passion. This is dope Lynette. Praying for yours and everyone else’s journey as they discover their true callings, whatever that may look like. 👏🏿 👏🏿👏🏿🎉 Congrats!
YOu can't see that she is chasing the bag too, lol.
Thank you!!❤️
Yuppp completely agree. I went through a phase where I went crazy and was obssessed with trying to make money online for like 2 or 3 months. I went to sleep and woke up thinking about making money online, so happy I am over it now and just living life, ofcourse I wanna make extra income but I am crazy about it anymore, I dont choose to be.
Yes my bf is older than me and makes high six figures and he tells me do what you love and you’ll be exceptional which will help you acquire wealth
“No one else knows your situation but yourself” that hit HARD
I'm not afraid of loosing my job or quitting my job, I'm not gonna freak out because while doing my 9_5 job I'm also investing putting my money back to work, I'm not just after the money but the freedom to live on my terms
Yeah and 9-5 cant give you the freedom you need. An extra income stream passive income is a great option, keep it going
I love the spirit keep it going
Yes I make 2k weekly as extra in come from my In vesting trying so much to build more side hustles and extra in come

Hey speaking of investing, I have heard many people talk about it. But I really dont know how to start and make a good investment. Can you Share more info please
You're going to be fine. I quit my job 4 years ago with a child. Listen, God is REAL and He was there always have been way before Amazon so your job is not even your source of living. At least you checked your finances, you had time to have fears. I was numb yet never ever been more certain that I can no longer work for the bank. My story is similar to yours, toxic work environment, just learning about my job and how the bank operates challenged me morally and ethically and religiously so I chose my faith. I chose God and my life hasn't been so blessed. From that decision I learned and saw God being God in every aspect in my life. He even opened a door I never imagined, I traveled abroad for the first time, all expenses paid, nice hotels, in and out board rooms mingling with important people in spaces I never ever imagined I would, never even dreamed actually but God is God and you will be where He wants you to be. God is so big He can do anything. If I never quit my job for the reasons I did, I would have never known there are doors God can open we know nothing about.
You will be fine. Enjoy your new journey!
That’s seriously amazing I’m so happy for you. This comment literally made me take a deep breath and helped me to trust gods plan.
Well said AD well said!!! God is great!!!
@@Paradiselife-13 God is so BIG and our fears limit Him because if can't see how big He is then our world remains small and limited to only what we can imagine but if we TRUST GOD and OBEY Him, HE will do the things that only GREAT JEHOVAH can do. After my experience, I am convinced God does not like cowards but the brave and courageous, oh He loves. You see, when you are brave and courageous, you are moved by faith, the substance of things unseen, and that places God in His position of Creatorship where suddenly doors flung open, doors you knew nothing about. God has a million ways to provide for us, a job is only one of the million ways so TRUST GOD. PRAY UNCEASINGLY AND COMMIT ALL YOUR PLANS TO HIM. Oh you also need to be patient because it won't be easy but try to look for God in every situation, everything because one thing I know, the Devil loathes people who take a stand and who won't allow him to dictate and abuse them by inflicting fears in our minds of ''what will you eat?'', God already told us, ''DO NOT WORRY ABOUT WHAT YOU SHALL EAT AND WEAR, GOD KNOWS YOU HAVE NEED OF THESE THINGS.

i think the pressure people/society put on us on “not having a job” is why we get so nervous when we ready to quit “our job’s”.
omg YES!!! no matter how miserable you are people cannot believe you'd actually choose your mental health over money.
@@eeeyooohoh there’s more to life than just working and people are finally starting to realize this
The fear of what society might think of you, your friends/family but also the stigma you might feel to carry around has an effect on the decision in staying in your job or not. There are too many people miserable in their job, that it became a new norm. So quitting your job because it affects your mental health feels selfish... What is your work situation at the moment and how do you feel about it?
As long as you can pay your own way... Just don't feel entitled to other people's money they paid in taxes if you run out of money and are unwilling to work
So true!
Wow I officially quit my job, today was my LAST DAY. 🎉 I'm Workin on my dream to become a singer songwriter. It's scary and it won't be easy but If i don't make the first step now I'll never know what it's like to even try to chase my dreams .

I’m 25 and I quit my job last month. It’s the highest I’ve ever been paid but I felt so unfulfilled. I prayed and asked God to help me reach my target of $60,000 by October in my business, but I changed that to $100,000 I want to break the barrier of 9-5 and relaying on jobs. I still applied for new jobs but my goal is to dive deep in my business. Long story short so far so good and I only had that one pay check. You will be okay and will blossom the more 🌸
Bless you dear ❤️ such words inspired me to push for more! I’ve been doing it. Working and maintaining my business. Been a hell of a stress but I’m grateful. I found a good IA lead me through investing that has been a good decision. I’m growing! So far so good making good returns and looking to build a good retirement portfolio from now
@@avinashbowers8618 That’s amazing 😃🙏🏾
Whats your business?
I applaud you. The younger generation are going to break the curse of selling your soul and peace of mind for the sake of money. For all the people cautioning her due to finances, the decision is already done. I'm sure she figured it out before posting this video so keep your opinions and reservations to yourself. We are not always meant to be doing, sometimes we need to just be. Be happy, be peaceful be present, not slaving away for someone for the rest of our lives. By the time we retire, we are to ill and tired to really enjoy life. So enjoy life now!!
You are so on point!
I also made the hard decision to leave my 9-5 $80,000/year job to improve my quality of life, so I completely understand the emotional roller coaster that goes along with the process. It's tough. I actually made a video on it too. I think your videos helped me accept that life isn’t all about the work grind, which is ironic because I was employed as a Career Coach for the last 10 years. Career and life is much more then a compilation of actions and accomplishments at work. And burnout is particularly a challenge if your in an organization or department that doesn't align with your values anymore (which seemed to be your and many other people's case). Good on you for having the courage to create meaningful change in your life!
Amazon really do be hiring smart people. The thing is they're often smart enough to move along, especially if they can resist the golden hand cuffs
Money isn't worth your mental health and values. I recently quit a job that paid well but was destroying my mental health for another job which pays a bit less but I am so much happier.
I was in the hospital for 16 days last month and as a result I missed my last 8 shifts. Today was my first day back at work and they had a write-up waiting for me. This job don’t give a fuck about me.
Oh hell no. Fuck that noise.
Nope you need to find a new job ASAP!!
If you die, they will step over you and keep operating as usual. Why do we care about something that doesn't give a fuck about us?
Did they really write you up?
😆. Yeah, it's time
I was in this exact same position. Iquit my job last year. Everyone told me not to do it. I still don’t have a job but I’m the happiest I’ve ever been in my life. I’ve found myself and I stood up for myself in that process as well. I’m so happy for you. I love how we’re prioritizing ourselves more now. I love this shift of consciousness we’re going through. Infinite love and gratitude. I wish you nothing but the best.

@alien house Hi Alien, how did it go on Sunday? How do you feel?
You're an inspiration, I've been following for a few months now and quit my job about two weeks ago. I want to own my time. Congratulations 💪🏾
"own my own time" I love how you phrased this!
Omg I'm cryingggg. Congrats you guys💪
I literally walked out today at my job . I gave her a week notice . I had my own reasoning and then she had the audacity to say “You screwed us over” making me sound ungrateful . Jokes on her cause I found a new job literally perfect timing! This job wasn’t my career path . I’m so happy I left . I didn’t wanna leave like this but I have no regrets ❤️
I just quit my job today haven’t told anyone and I’m so nervous yet so excited to create more content and really enjoy my life I was so worried about money abs paying bills and u know what ima let the universe figure that all out for me that’s not my job but im free !!! Mental health was my main priority
Congrats! 👏 wishing you all the best!!
why did u quit
How’s it going months later? I didn’t work for months last year. Due to Covid and I needed a break I was happier not working. But got really depressed when I didn’t have a schedule and enough money for things. I would like to quit again have my own schedule and work on my small biz.
@@heyitssheaxo hey i am currently not working and even though i love to be a lawyer ( i studied law ) the work environments were toxic and did not give me any work to do just sit on the pc and do nothing ;g i am doing art now and trying to keep a schedule while at home while i find something ! i go get coffee - do workout read news - art etc ! why did u stop work if i may ask ?
It’s crazy how many people actually feel this way with our modern society…good on you for taking the next step!👏👏👏
Stay positive girl. It's always scary at first. But when you know, you know. It's important to honour how you feel, and value yourself and your happiness over a job. There are plenty of jobs out there, there's only one you; and most importantly, you've only got one life.
Well said. I needed this too.🤎

She never mentioned God tho
@@jenniferswinton8853 ...Hopefully, she does or will know in time, that God (Jesus) is the Power behind all righteousness and truth.
I just quit my 9 to 5. All it did was drain me, I got treated like crap and it caused me to be sick. It goes against what I stand for and soul purpose. It was time. Life is too short to do something you don't want to do or something thats not meant for you. 💯
How are you doing now? I hope you are okey and healing ❤
@@Sldindpunjab thanks for asking. I'm doing fine and healing
I remember leaving my retail job, with absolutely no plan, no savings, but I had had enough and was on the brink of going crazy. when I walked out of that place I felt such a palpable sense of relief. It was almost like literally physically feeling lighter. I totally resonate with this. ps God had bigger plans for me that's why he gave the courage to leave despite having nothing to fall back on.
Honey you have HIM. That's why you could leave❤
YES! I work retail now. I'm praying God will let me be a bank teller at my credit union. I actually am close with someone who's been there for years and will give a great recommendation to the manager. I want out of retail and some people who have worked with me are creepy as heck! I've had to complain to HR for men sexually harassing me and I've had quite a few try to date me there. I hate that. I really want a sign but only if God allows it for me. The best of luck to YOU, hun. 😇
I also have retail job. After corona lockdown i still staying at home . Company still quiet no plan reopened soon. I have fear and bad feeling i starting to thinking about myself what im gonann do in my life . Im 25 i feel fear
I’m leaving my retail job in 2 weeks and I’m so scared but I am so depressed by this job but I know God has a plan in my life where I won’t be so depressed
This resonated with me. Been through this too.
I have like 12 versions of my two weeks notice printed and ready to hand In 😂 My work is so high stressed and I’m severely underpaid compared to my peers.
Same here! But you're ahead of me with the two weeks printed. I need to get mine done today and turn that s--- in on Monday! Cheers to our mental health and regaining control of our lives! 👏
I have been in a toxic work environment, it takes so much of your energy and time. When I left mine, those first few days free, I felt skittish like I was out of place and it let me know just how much it affected me. Then it felt so liberating!
I'm happy for you. 🤗 Caring for yourself will always be more important than working for someone else.
I’ve been here before and felt such relief when I finally quit. I’ve just started a new job and it’s soooo much better already. You’ll be fine. God bless you!
I’ve had so many jobs that just make me feel miserable deep down. I quit so many so soon when I would first start because of my anxiety and I just can’t work for shitty companies anymore. I’m starting to see that 9-5 jobs just don’t do well for me and I have BIG goals in life. Found one that I feel sorta content with for now so I can have paychecks and stuff but I cannot wait until I reach my goal. The outdated ideal world of school-get a job-work til you die just isn’t acceptable anymore cause we too smart for that shit. ❤️
Just dont buy a house and keep your car like I did with a toyota more than 15 years. You will realize you can live on part time work especially if you have a roommate or wife in an apartment or rent part of a 2 family house.
After nearly 9 years as a registered nurse, I retired two years ago. It was not an easy decision, but life is too short to dread going to work every day. No amount of money can buy real happiness Lol. But, friends, I'm not asking you to quit your work or forsake your business, but rather be wise!
@Olivia Jayden While I was still in the service, I prepared for early retirement, earning roughly $2,000 per week from my investment portfolio and working hard to establish new side hustles and extra income

Lynette, I am smiling extremely hard rn watching this. I am genuinely SO proud of you. You deserve everything you desire. You inspire me to never give up and not settle for less.
Good for you on taking that step. I quit a job this year I was only at for about 4 months but within that 4 months I was subjected to so much workplace hostility and sabotage. I knew I had to leave because I would be soo angry and depressed each morning. I also stopped eating because my anxiety was out of this world. I quit without looking back. Honestly the best decision I made!
This is on a smaller scale, but I’m a college student and I recently quit my job that I’ve had since high school because I wasn’t being treated well and def wasn’t being paid enough and lemme tell you!! Quitting a job is so empowering!! I didn’t even have another job lined up but I still did it, It was scary but I’ve already found another job that aligns more with my values and I’m already so much less stressed! If you’re considering quitting a job 10/10 recommend doing it, things will work out eventually if you put in the work :)
I saw a meme that said “we need to normalize leaving after the first red flag, I won’t but you can” 😂😂 Im so proud of you for leaving after only a few flags.
😂
“I won’t but you can” 😭😂🥺 why is this so true like I want to quit so bad but I need the fucking money 😂😂😂😂😂
It can feel that we can't quit our job, because we are so afraid of our financial state. And then quitting a job, because we didn't "like it" (because you can't ignore the red flags) can feel childish right? I've had to listen to so many conversations where people say "ah, get over it", "be an adult and take on responsibility". BUT honestly, the moment I quit the jobs which didn't align with my values and said NO to situations/people, my life started to change. I started to see and interact with clients and jobs that align with my values, without any red flags.
Agreed!
@@yourekacoaching5961 blessings, this gives me hope!
I just put my two weeks in yesterday, and I am proud I made that decision for my mental health, as I was crying on and off the job about the job itself. So stressed out and depressed, dreading and crying while getting ready for work. All for a job I got a degree for. It was not worth it😂 but I’m happier without.
Early in my tech career (around 2014) I got to the final stages for an interview to work at Amazon. I was living in London at the time. Looking back now, the entire process was the most intense, cult-like experience ever. I didn't get the job in the end. I've spoken to countless friends who have worked there who report the same thing as you - overwork, overwhelm, no work-life balance, feeling like they're working for a toxic machine, etc.
You are so incredibly inspiring. Showing up so vulnerably and taking this brave step will create ripple effects that will positively impact others. You're not afraid to shake shit up. We need more people like you in the world.
I rarely ever comment on videos, I'm normally a pretty passive subscriber. But you are one to watch. Thanks for showing up for all of us, Lynette.
I think it depends on the level/area U work in at Amazon. But, ur points r well taken... and well written;0
Had the same experience working in trivago ( a German start up). Had to work 8-20 and join the “team-building events” afterwards regardless of the fact that I was married, had home I wanted to actually go back to.. if you don’t spend most of your time with them, you are frowned upon and not a team player.
I quit my job last month, I totally get this feeling. Good for you! It feels so freeing.
Congratulations!!! Ive been a silent viewer but wanted to let you know how inspiring you are.🤩
I quit mine during quarantine. It was such a emotional roller coaster. I wish that I had something to back it up because I struggled for food and living after that.
At least you gave a 2 week notice because I don't give anything. When I'm done, I'm done. There's nothing to discuss. 🤷🏾♀️ Good for you! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Oh wow...
Exactly, no one needs to give an explanation. If your not happy and you know you don’t want to be there anymore there is really no point in putting a two week notice , just leave .
I just quit my job the other week and didn’t put in my two weeks. I was uncomfortable asl there and didn’t want to deal with more retaliation.
I've done that before for the sake of my mental health. Quit before it causes me a mental breakdown. The downside is burning bridges. :(
@@cosmicsea7 Yeah that's an awful down side. I'm glad you left though.
I quit my job a couple months ago and it was terrifying but was the most relieving and freeing thing ever. Im happy for you!!!
I got sooo emotional with you at 16:08 when you started shaking! Congratulations on making your dream a reality, and thank you for being an inspiration for those of us trying to find our place still
Wow I’m rooting for you! I can’t wait until I can do this. You made the right decision. If you hadn’t done it, you could have missed an amazing opportunity to be set for life. Everything you do now counts so much more and I’m so excited to see your journey and see you continue to blossom!
This is such an inspiration for me. I have been going through so much BS at my current job that has been taking such a toll on my mental health. The pay allowed me to live comfortably but it’s definitely not worth the stress and anxiety I constantly deal with on a daily basis. This video was my sign to follow my dreams and quit my job. Thank you 💕
May I ask you what kind of job you were working?
@@sacdiyaahmed2810 yes of course, I do staffing for a nursing agency. We would be required to do this thing called “on call” where nurses are able to call after hours if they needed the call out or had any specific questions. The worst part about it is that if there was a call out, I would have to drop whatever I am doing to find a replacement for that shift.
Proud of this QUEEN
Sucks that this world makes people choose money over morals and comfort. It is never worth it to do things that don't make you happy and make you miserable.
Yeah, I'm working in customer tech support atm. (I'm actually an actor)
So, yesterday I actually heavily implied to a customer that another provider might have more to offer for him at the place he's living. And I think I kinda crossed a line there that I shouldn't cross very often.
Lynette! I'm soooo happy for you! You are going to thrive at whatever else you choose to do.

At the end of the day you followed your heart and sacrificed comfort! This takes so much strength! Much love to you! ♥️
I know the feeling of going back and forth with your thoughts of quitting in regards to playing it safe. I quit my job 2 months ago and I’ve never had more time for myself to pursue what I actually want to do. Im learning to trust the process and have faith that everything will work out. This video was very inspiring and encouraging. Thanks for sharing!

Omg I love that. "Broke is something that cant be fixed". Thats some great words of wisdom
I quit my job about two weeks ago now, i was working in the cannabis retail industry. Its crazy hearing sooo many similarities to your story. Im currently gardening while i figure out a career path that better matches my values. Money was a concern for me too, i didnt want to take a pay cut after landing what seemed like a great job after college, but I truly realized just how much happier I am with more freedom. Im so happy for you girl!!! I love your content, and resonate with you so much
Thank you for sharing your journey with us Lynette , I’m rooting for you !
seeing you is so affirming. I am in the process of unlearning what I thought was was normal in terms of worknand progress not just for my body but for my spirit. I had this moment and have been feeling so many different things and realize that its not strange to want more and to not be okay with complacency.
I feel like this video is so raw. I haven’t seen something this raw on UA-cam in a long time. I am so happy for you leaving your job and I’m glad you didn’t fake all the emotions and your fears. You are human and I wish you nothing but the best✨
the funk is totally normal. we live in a world where we are use to being in a high energy state from work. so when you remove that it brings your body and mind back to homeostasis which is a natural thing we should all feel and not be worried about giving other people that dont care about our well beings energy that dont deserve it. I'm so happy for you, glad this is my first video watching of yours and def not my last. everything is happening for you not against you.
Love this comment
Absolutely, it's about getting comfortable with being uncomfortable and watching the wheels start to turn in your favor.
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my UA-cam channel 2 months ago about self development and now have more than 100 subs and almost 70 hour watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so much lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place
Better things are to come your way! Its great that you have an understanding of what you want when most people stay in a job/workplace they hate, just because, although all situations are different. I wish you Goodluck on your journey moving foward!!!!
Thank you for being so candid about your journey. I know it took a lot of strength to do so. I feel that a lot of the time, the topic of pursuing what you're passionate about can be glamourized, which is great, but the struggle to get there isn't shown as much. We appreciate you sharing this journey as you go along 💕
The labor market is a cesspool of toxicity. I feel your pain.
the fact that growth happened _so_ fast that u could do it in half the time you expected, there really is a plan out there for you, i’m rooting for u 🤍!!
I just sent in my resignation letter today. My tech job has taken a toll on me and left me uninspired because it is not my passion.
My family and friends have convinced me to stay far beyond the time I wanted to and after sending in my letter today my job is currently trying to convince me to stay as well, yet they are not willing to raise my pay.
I am a recording artist and songwriter and they take advantage of that by asking me to perform without compensation. Thank you for sharing this video because this is definitely a sign for me that its time to go. I know my worth!!!!
I’m so happy for you. It’s so inspiring! I’ll have to watch this over and over again along with reading the book The Big Leap to keep the faith and not be scared.
so proud of you! I quit a job last summer that didn’t align ethically with my beliefs and was truly ruining my mental health. It was the best decision I’ve ever made. You’re gonna do great. Love your content ❤️
So happy for you! I quit 3 months ago and life has been amazing :) Life is beautiful this side
Thanks for your transparency. I quit around the same time due to similar reasons. I refuse to continue putting energy into someone else’s dream when I can contribute the same energy into self employment. The stress and anxiety associated with corporate America is ridiculous. Self perseverance, self discovery, positive experiences, self care, and mental health maintenance are key. Congratulations on your new found freedom 💕
This new generation has life shifting energy.
The universe rewards bravery!! You got this.
Remember, there are also costs to bravery & initiative. That's why most people are cowards and "sheeple"...
Powerful statement!
I’ve been watching you since you were still at UT, you’re a big inspiration and I’m wishing the best for you!!!
I love this! One of the best quotes I’ve learned through my entrepreneurial journey is to never take advice from someone who isn’t where you want to be. You were smart not to tell anyone that you quit!
Thank God! Money comes many ways, left my job in Feb and found myself! God bless you in your journeyyy
I just found your content after weeks of meditating and crying asking my spirit guides and source to send me knowledge that is going to inspire me to create. I get paralyzed with fear of not being smart enough or I get overwhelmed very easily and that stops me from moving forwards with my dreams. I have a little one and do NOT want to pass this on to him, I want him to be proud of his mommy for going after her dreams. Yours videos resonate incredibly, I'm very spiritual, I have so much knowledge on holistic healing and beauty, I got to say tech scares me, I've never been savvy at it. Any-who I'm so grateful I found your content. Thank you for being you Lynette.
Congratulations! “Everything you have ever wanted is on the other side of FEAR”
This hit me hard 😭😭😭
Mmmmm when you said I got promoted the week George Floyd died with no pay promotion, was a aha moment. That’s fucked up! They literally moved you up to save face. Smh. New subbie here. Congrats on taking a big step 🤎
A lateral move higher title same pay. BS
Another option that may be helpful is to find a temp job that would interest you that’s not intensive. This would allow you to continue making content while still having a paycheck from a job you’re not committed to long-term - which will also give you space to continue to work on yourself and what you wanna try next! Just a thought!
what you are referring to are either very temp and stress you out looking for next pay or a steady low pay mindless job that the bosses still require full attention and effort.
@@asadb1990 I see the point you’re making and that’s one way to look at it. But speaking from the perspective of my own experience, there are recruiters out there who will help in keeping you within temp jobs only if that’s your preference, you just need to be transparent with them. Let them know you’d like to start interviewing once the contract is coming to an end. Not all companies are looking to expand head count permanently especially for short-term projects. Also, of course any job requires focus and attention, and you’d still need to follow an interest/strength which will allow you to perform naturally. That’s why I mentioned she temp to try different things of interest, which can help broaden her experience and bring clarity to her vision.
@@tanyalasagna_ i get your way. but in my experience even for temp jobs they want highly experienced folks who are desparate for work. and if you lack the desparation to work like a dog, they will end your months long contract in a few weeks. i have been hired a few times in the past where i was let go soon after and excuse was "i lack the urgency and drive". i worked my ass off. but i never ran to finish work early because that just meant more work. as far as recruiters are concerned they have all mostly been a waste of time. they would pitch me for jobs but after interviewing it was clear client wanted someone highly experienced for little pay. and that level experience only came at desparation
@@asadb1990 sorry to hear you’ve had such a bad experience. I can see why you feel the way you do. But not all experiences will be bad, it’s worth trying if it helps to move closer to the greater goal/vision.
have you had a temp job before? if so, what were your experiences like?
Those "signs" are called burnout. And when you're burnt out you see signs everywhere! Good for you! Wish you all the best!
What a freeing moment. In literally smiling as you sent it and I felt a wave of peace come over me. I feel for you sis!! Congrats. And seeing how happy and relieved you are after just shows that you did the right thing. Sending you all the love. 222
So proud of you girl! For years I’ve been seeing your content, everything from real estate to college to manifesting… you always seem to pop up on all my socials, even before I started following! I’m in the Austin area now and would love to learn from/be mentored by you♥️ your content is amazing and I feel like the universe is telling me you have some valuable ideas to share 🥰
You are very inspirational, will prove to be one of the best decisions of your life👌🏽
Epic, love. I recently quit my job as well and for very very similar reasons. It’s actually eerie how similar honestly. Stress, morality. Wow.
Girl.... I've never seen your channel till this video. Its my sign. I needed this. I was brought to this for a reason. Tysm
I am so happy for you! I was watching your other videos when I was contemplating quitting my own job, and I finally quit 2 weeks ago and I’m so much happier! You are a huge inspiration to me and so many others and I hope you find your life path and you find happiness ❤️
