- I decided to quit my job after I realized these 3 lessons. Although I "heard" of these 3 things before, they never clicked inside my head until these events happened in my life. My goal is to share my experiences with you in hopes that this video will be more than just "sounds" coming from your speakers or "words" on a screen. I hope these lessons can inspire you to do what you truly want to do.

Hey friends, one of the reasons I was able to quit my job is because I've been building my side hustles while working full time. If you're thinking of quitting, you NEED to have some financial security and a backup plan - and a great side hustle can provide both. I know you think you can't build a side hustle while working a job but let me be the first to tell you, YOU CAN. Here are my secret strategies that allowed me to grow my side hustle while working full time. These are the exact things I did that allowed me to utlimately quit and pursue my dreams: ua-cam.com/video/BwDBeNhG9ls/v-deo.html
You did too many BS jobs didn't you.
Thank you for this video. Really resonated with it!
This channel is a side hustle. So you're selling your opinions for views, but since you need the views, how to trust that the opinion is genuine rather than scripted to elicit likes and subscriptions? Just a thought, anyway.

@VincentChan , sir have you been working for 44 years? You look very young.
I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.
@Wilhelmina-Luisa That's actually quite impressive, I could use some Info on your FA, I am looking to make a change on my finances this year as well
@Wilhelmina-Luisa I will give this a look, thanks a bunch for sharing.
Notice he says after working SEVERAL years. He saved money, and set himself up to leave. Don't quit your dayjob kids, build financial stability then quit.
Straight up
Exactly my point, when you don’t have enough to survive you have to slog… once you are in peace with your life… you start to see the other things.
Facts
Money and stability first then find your own liberation.
Money is a resource. What makes people successful is mindset and being resourceful which is why successful people can build things from scratch…they have the right mentality and discipline to succeed.
My recommendation is keep learning, build productive habits and nurture healthy relationships.
" If you don't build your dreams, then someone else will hire you to build theirs" Really stuck out to me, such a powerful sentence that I will forever remember.
whatever, a lot of people don't understand the difference between a dream and needs.
@@Play4Vida what’s the difference? I think I don’t understand the difference
I also think some people romanticise this sentence a lot... like, well, isn't that the purpose of employment? It's not like you're building someone else's dream for free, that's why they're paying you to do so! lol I get the no-romantic part of the sentence though, but I also think it's totally fine for you to be technically and career-wise satisfied by being paid (obviously) for your work!
Yeah I like the phrase "If you are not working for yourself and your rules, you are working for someone else under theirs"
that right go after your dream dont worry about anyone else Love your self first BUT !!!!! Sometime it take skills and talents to build and where you gain them you need some income coming in help build their dream then you can work on yours that was good money you were making there a recession coming and regardles where the money coming in not your problem as long as your earning it
“The real power of money is not that you can buy whatever you want, the real power is that you’re able to buy the freedom to spend your time how you like, when you like, it’s the freedom to not let anyone else control your time, your emotions or your life”
I couldn’t agree more
best line in the whole video totally agree!!!!!!!
You are just a kid! This saying and other similar have been written in books and interviews.
How true this statement is!!!!
Summary of video-
1. Your job is making someone else money.
2. You are always replaceable and you will be forgotten in a job.
3. Have your own purpose in life. Don't get controlled by money.
moral of the story sounds like you should just aim for true freedom and not rely on others. Especially others that don't give a damn about you and just want to use you for their own means/profit.
1. You job also pays YOU, gives you medical/dental, 2+ weeks vacation, retirement (possible employer match)
2. You employer is replaceable, there is NO employee loyalty, climb the ladder to similar companies, If you make 100k a year at Apple? Reach out to MSFT for a similar position. Get a job at MSFT there for 120k..
3. DUH
Choose a job where you like the environment, happy with the pay, and are internally driven/stimulated, not drained.
@@acraze2287 Exactly. However I won't use the word "use" as it's an agreement between you and employer that you will work your a** off for pennies. They are not forcing you.
@@ADM-wt9cn good perspective and no doubt job creation is good. But video is about taking employees for-granted and overusing them(if more than 8hrs of work or something)
1. Jobs are a two way street. It benefits your employer but it also benefits you. Vincent was making $120K a year. If he saved 1/3rd of that for just ten years, he could retire.
2. Of course you're replaceable. All the more reason you need to be smart and save, save and save some more. You want to get to the point where you can live off the interest your money generates
3. I'd say it's more like, don't get controlled by things. Don't by a brand new Tesla. Don't get the giant $1 million McMansion. Because then you'll be working your whole life to pay those things off.
"If you don't build your dreams, someone else will hire you to build theirs"
Well said
This one hits hard
Tired of building other people's dreams
And then you realize rent wont pay itself and you are a grown ass adult so you need to live on your own. And also that nobody dates a loser who doesnt make much money and who also doesnt have an actual job.
Welcome to reality
Huh? Someone can hire me to get inside their brains and build their dreams? Is this even possible? 🥺🙀
Can I hire a pretty girl to get into my head and build my dreams? 🙀
I studied hard to grab a position in one of the Big4 companies. I was excited to work but I was working 18 hours a day to finish jobs that were meant for an experienced person.
I started ignoring my family just like you and months later when I reached home - I saw my dad skinny and diagnosed with cancer. He is illiterate and he didn't even know what cancer patients look like.
Believe me, I regret taking this job. If I was home I'd be early to recognise it and he could be saved but now he is taking his last breaths.
Family comes first! No job will ever replace your family.
I'm sorry. It's not your fault. Sending your family love
Hope you’re doing fine 😢
My dude....this is exactly my life right now. Working my ass off doing tax at a Big 4 accounting firm. Worked so hard in college to get here only to come to the same realization as you did. I served 8 years in the army and I thought working for corporate America was the dream. I wanted to wear the suits, I wanted to have to the corporate dinners, I wanted to work in the tallest building...and now 3 years in I almost completely lost who I was before this job. I get anywhere from a 15-25% salary increase every year but I no longer care about that. i want a career with purpose to it. I want a career where I can see the outcome of what I put in. As much as it scares me to admit this to my wife and family I really want to pursue a career in firefighting to bring back that sense of purpose and selfless service that I miss so much. Corporate America does not give a single fuck about me
I can relate to this. I am 43 working for a great financial organisation. But I feel the work I do is meaningless and there is no purpose apart from getting paid well every month. It is sad but I sort of accepted it.
No it does not. It is sodomy.
Prepare your exit plan. That’s your solution. You can do it and make it the end result a reality. But only with a detailed mapped out plan of action. Cheers
All the best !!!
15-25% salary increase every year?? You're lucky
John's story hooked me. I had a friend, he was the best employee in the company, he died from overwork 2 years ago, then replaced with someone else and company still going just fine. Like he never exists in the first place.
truth!
So true! The world doesn't stop for no one
so common, so sad...I was making decent bank, glad I traveled, golfed etc..one day I woke up with Chrohn's disease, life over...live for today not tomorrow...btw I cured myself and so can identify with "money ain't it"...stay healthy, eat better, workout, if your job doesn't allow that? You're toast
@@andrefecteau I agree :)) Blessings, energy, strength & comfort during ure off days 2 U
Hi fr overtaxed NYC metro area...Litchfield County, Connecticut, USA
Yes, I worked at an insane workplace that was so stressful.
The amount of people who quit. Or got Cancer and died we even had suicides or had traumatic accidents that caused death. Nothing they all got replaced or business went on without them
"If you don't have a dream, someone will hire you to build their dreams"
this statement is an eye opener to me. Thank you brother! God bless you.
@@trappart9209 Missing the point...
That's actually the title of a book called "The Dream Chaser: If You Don't Build Your Dream, Someone Will Hire You to Help Build Theirs" by Tony A. Gaskins Jr. I wish he would cite the actual creators of all the quotes he's used in this video.
@@trappart9209 wow...... how was that???
But once you've built your dream, others might as well take it from you by buying or stealing.
U hv a dream if u weak
I left my 9-5 job in 2021 and felt exactly how you did, like I was a victim of my job. Two years later, I look back but mostly with fond memories. I have realized so many things, the most important of which is that it was not their fault. I am responsible for this life. And also, nothing is ever lost. I am always on my way to something better.
ok but how you'll pay taxes and not starve living alone lmao, for some people unemployment isn't a option
@@EpicMugenBattlesshut up and figure it out
@@mockidyyquitting your job and livings unemployed thats the most dumbest Idea a coach vídeo told me ajhshhshshshshshdhhs
You're irreplaceable to your mom and she is the one you took for granted. It's a powerful lesson.
“If you don’t build your dreams then someone else will hire you to build theirs” a quote I’m putting in my mind.
That quote has rung in my ears for a LONG time before i finally decided to quit - best of luck to you
there are so many good quotes in the video
nah, most people dont dream much. work that can provide basic needs/wants and family support are enough. if you have bigger dream, go for it.
This quote stuck out to me as well as so true and priceless. I stopped to write that down. I’m certainly going to repeat it to others - don’t worry I will be sure to credit the young man in this video.
I have never heard this quote before and it resonated with me. Thanks to you and your wise subscribers for helping me redirect my mindset. Peace!
I have this conversation quite regularly with one of my colleagues. Some people really take their jobs too seriously, and when asked why I'm so relaxed in situations that otherwise would cause great tension, my answer is ALWAYS this: "What if I died today or tomorrow? What if they did? This place would continue to run without us. So why stress over things we can't control? Just do your job and let the chips fall where they may. You'll be just fine." This was an excellent video!
I screenshot your comment because I love your words and want to reference it in the future. Very well said!!
@@mel_2113 😊😊
Might have to hang this up on the wall at some point.
I'm the sameway...you call only control what you can do and let everything else fall where they may fall...
wow i really needed to hear this. thank you.

I graduated Lawschool. Was jn debt then got sick. Got surgeries during pandemic.
Then more loans for bills
People looking down on me. Relatives family etc
I rarely go out. I got obese again.
Have not taken the bar for 2 consecutive year. My parents would always get sick, surgery for father as having cancer, mother having dengue the next year.
I got sick again now
My siblings dont go home. Dont contribute. I have no career. I am losing hope. Already in mid30s. Graduated 2019.
Like I was designated as caregiver. Im like a loop
I wanna leave them to focus on myself but they have noone.
Maybe my siblings depended on me.
They werent there when I got surgeries. They never cared about me. Didn't check up on me.
And they also did it to my parents.
I’m currently retired, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, I decided to stay on the sideline for awhile, now I’m worried with the numerous bank failures as of late, am I better off reinvesting my savings in the stock market or do I wait?
to me, this is not a time to be acting on a 'hearsay' everyone needs guide at some point, whether you're amateur or veteran investor
@@tatianastarcic true, A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for license advisors and came across someone of due diligence, helped a lot to grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to approx. $850k so far.
@@maiadazz How did you achieve it? I been trying to stick with index funds. I feel this new interest rates hikes could crash this economy. I'm looking out for a better investing strategy, I have a lump sum that inflation is steady eating up.
@@richardhudson1243 It would be a very innovative suggestion to look out for Financial Advisors like “Laurel Dell Sroufe” who can help shape up your portfolio. Trying times are ahead, and good personal financial management will be very important to weather the storm
Lol you’re retired. Your risk factor just got larger since the income got smaller.
I just lost my job and my home. I'm in a hotel praying about the next steps. Ran across this video. Thank you for the encouragement and wise counsel. 🙏🏾

I've lived in my car twice in my life and was able to rebuild both times. I was uncomfortable for awhile, sure. But I didn't starve, I didn't die, and it wasn't permanent. To quote Rush's song Tom Sawyer, "he knows changes aren't permanent, but change is." Do NOT let your standards drop no matter what. Don't lay around and wallow. Even if you have nowhere to go, get up, get dressed, stay on top of your personal hygiene, and exercise. Set your alarm to limit the hours you sleep to 8 maximum and the hours you spend watching UA-cam or surfing the internet. Depression is a trap, don't step in it. Wishing you good health, wealth and happiness, brother.

I wish I had someone tell me these thing when I first started off. Everyone (parents, cousins, teachers, friends, etc.) conspired to push me forward to what turned out to be a nightmare. I was an honor student. I was a no miss success story in the making, a future captain of industry. Fastforward. Stressed-out, overworked, grumpy, cynical, overweight, diabetic. I wound up twice in the hospital for chest pains. Timeout! Save yourselves!

I worked 5 years 120-150k a year 60-70 hours a week (sometimes more).
and I spent every penny on buying real estate with my wife.
I sacrificed 5 years of my life (didn't travel, bought nothing, barely any holidays)because I grew up with nothing. I was fearful of being homeless.
Today I own my 2 apartments. One in which I live, and another one I rent. Both fully paid off. We are thinking of getting a 3rd apartment around Christmas.
My life is so much better today... I am not as anxious as I used to be.
Today I scaled down on the amount of work I do, started taking naps during the day, quit coffee. Currently, trying to quit alcohol as well.
Sometimes you have no choice, if you are able to land a 6-figure job, milk the moment, you might never get such an opportunity again to escape poverty.
Did you buy the whole apartment building or a space?
@@yophilli no just separate apartments in different locations.
An apartment building is a couple of millions, I don't have that kind of money.
Bro I quit my high paying IT job for a lot of the same reasons. For me it was mental health issues that spiked and while I worked at home, had a great salary and amazing benefits I just couldn’t continue going down this path. I now own a peach orchard and get to do what I love every day.
Keith I appreciate your story and I wish you the best!
How did you find a peach orchard for sale? I have been looking for a pecan farm or something similar.
@@kevinriech4580 we planted our own on our property. It’s very hard to find existing orchards for sale from what I’ve been told. I’m the only orchard in my county. We have 205 peach trees and want to expand to more but land is at an all time high and hard to obtain at this time. But one day! For now I’m focused on growing the best peaches possible safer and focusing on healthy trees and soil.

Very true.
Is that true I wonder? With that money you saved or earned, will you be in another pit desire for more of everything? Leading to a life to be controlled by money itself? And I suppose the money you earned or saved is limited and it will be gone soon again you will be back in the circle for work?
I'm copying this, thanks!

that kind of freedom is actually free anyway!
I'm not even a real person anymore. I dont have any time to know whats going on in the world or with the people in my life. I just exist to eat, sleep, and work. And yet I feel SO much guilt for being so unhappy with such a good job. But I'm miserable. Thanks for this video. It helps to know I'm not alone.

“Every hour of my time, even after work, belongs to them.”
I felt this. I may be off weekends but I spend Friday worrying that I’m not having enough fun outside of work. Then I spend Sundays dreading going to work.
It's such a horrible feeling :'(
this is what alcohol is for
Some of my working years I worked 40 hours a week, doing meaningless hourly
admin, jobs. I always hated Sundays. When I was teaching I enjoyed my work and
didn't mind Sundays at all. At least with teaching I felt that I was doing something useful. I hope my former students felt the same.
"Then I spend Sundays dreading going to work."
I hate that I only ever feel like I live on the weekends, then I always feel like I waste my weekends (I can't even remember what I used to do when I had alot of free time).
The story with his mum and saying he doesn't have time resonates with me as I often say I don't have time, except on weekends.
We are already in the big crash , inflation is a catastrophe. This CPI report is a colossal failure. To bring the housing market to a halt,the FED will have to pull all the stops . The unfortunate issues is that the other market are being decimated. If you want to stay green ,you have to rely on a lot of diversification.
Currently up 15% and being carful. Still a better deal than leaving it in a savings or checking account yielding 0-1 percent interest.
Inflation is going to gradually going to become part of us and due to the fact any money you keep in cash or in a low-interest decline in value each year. Investing is the only way to make your money grow and unless you have an exceptionally high income,investing is the only way most people ever enough money to retire.
You’re right I diversified my $350k portfolio across various market with the aid of an investment coach, I have been able to generate a little bit above 1.2m in net profits across high dividend yield stocks, ETF and bonds during this red season.

Best comment out here. So true. No zealotry or ego to be found.
"The real power of money is not that you can buy whatever you want.
The real power is that you're able to buy the FREEDOM to spend your time how you like, when you like, where you like."
Touché. Let's have this as our goal.
It's sad that people have to "buy" their freedom. This doesn't excite me. This just shows me how fucked up our system is. We're earth parasites in a floating rock yet we have created a whole system of enslavement and stealing each other's time while life itself is absurd. Let alone 70% of people in the globe work just to provide basic needs like water and food which no one should have to in the first place. Nobody decided to be born. Oh and maybe a few holidays in a year of 365 days. I hate the fact that we as a society according to our selfish nature have created a currency and our lives depend on it. :| but what to do?

Hello i want to know if i get into software engineer Will i be working 8 hours a day ir 10 to 12?
So what are you doing now?
Y’all just need to learn how to save $ and not spend ur money on stuff you don’t need ! I’m at the stage of my life ( age 24) making 495k a year after taxes , living in Seattle, WA. And that’s decent money I make for a normal life . Sure 485k is not A LOT OF MONEY , however it’s more than enough for a normal life . I been making over 300k since I was 20 years old so about 4 years now and I don’t go around spending my money buying em anything and everything that I don’t really need . I spent my money on the house that I bout and it’s nothing special medium size 4 bedroom house that I paid cash for and it cost me 750k cuz houses are too damn expensive in Seattle and I bought my self Nissan 350Z and Toyota 4Runner ! Now I could have went and bought me an Audi R8 , Ferrari , Lamborghini or what ever other car and I could cash it out , or instead of paying the full price on the house I got and bought my self huge house and use the 700k ( cash) as a down payment and than pay mortgage every month and still owe millions on it but why would I do that ??? That’s just throwing ur money away trying to live large , or impress ppl or what ever . No need for that at all ! So guys KNOW UR WORTH DONT EVER SETTLE FOR LESS ! This is my standard and if the company can’t comply with my job requests I’m not taking that job . I like to work early 6,7 AM I want my lunch to be paid for and I only work 32 hrs a week . On top of that I also have to make 100k + in 3 months or I’m not taking that job . I guess I like to work like I’m in Germany and not USA , cuz over there your full work week is 32hrs however if u compare salary , in Germany you get paid more working a day less than we get paid here in USA doing the same job and working 40 hrs a week . So guys know ur worth and don’t settle for less you guys .
I was at a much lower level, but I admire you for your honesty and your bravery to speak out about how horrific it is that we spend our entire lives working as peasants to make the rich richer! Don’t be scared! Go for it!
I can really relate to this. I was an econ major in college (first-gen student) and was planning to go into finance, but early on I knew that my own mental health would make the punishing work culture unbearable, and I knew I needed a strong purpose in my work to feel motivated. I've always tried to be of service to others, and my jobs so far have been at advocacy and social service organizations that do really meaningful work in the community. I use the free time I have to take care of myself and pursue my creative interests, and I feel like I'm mapping out the darkened path one step at a time at my own pace, which has allowed me to grow in unexpected ways. Thanks for sharing your story.
The part about being able to tell your parents their sacrifices led to you "making it" really hit me. I realize that's pretty much the only thing that's keeping me at my current job. I dedicated time and energy for a bachelor's degree, a master's degree, and several years of working in a field I have no passion for. The only positive is seeing my mom's face light up with pride when she tells people what a great job her daughter has.
do what your heart tell you.....right now across the world their is an awakening.
You got this. Dont give up.
Same here I’m 26 and landed a pretty good job from 21. I’ve also got my bachelor’s & post grad. I’m comfortable and could do this for the rest of my life (with current job) but I wanna do something else entirely 😂😭
@I 95: A good salary has many advantages and is one of the positive parts of the job.
Just look at the many people which *really* struggle to pay their pile of invoices, the high rent etc..
Therefore you should at least persevere to firstly build up a financial "cushion" and then look around if your new profession would be real. Or if it is just the view that the grass is greener there. 🤔

"Just because you're necessary doesn't mean you are important."
i had 3 coworkers in their late 50s all die. on the cusp of retirement! crap! not me!
I also had 1 former co-worker die 1 week after retirement. She got run over by a bus. And at least 2 more die within 1 year after retirement.
I have seen a coworker jus collapsed and then the next day his death was announced.
I do not make YT comments, but this has hit so many points already on my head for years that I had to do this. First, thank you for putting the effort and courage to create this video Vincent. I am at a point in my career where this is what I needed - another burst of light from multiple angles to remind me of what I really want to do and to be. We are merely visitors here and we should not waste it living like machines. I am going to save a screenshot of this particular video and comment with the date and time and someday I'll reach out to you to thank you again but on that time I would either have reached my first pit stop or I am about to. Again, thank you brother.
I come from the hood and I’m stepping out of my shell to create more financial freedom in my life and for more people like me. I’ve never been more inspired by any video till I seen this. You talked about some real shit. Keep it up bro. Thank you 🙏🏾
Keep it going 💪
This is not a dark path, it’s the enlightened one.
Love this! So true!
It's a dark path because is scary to go through
*You* need to be enlighted to go through it
Yes!! We’ve been conditioned to rely heavily on society and the system many of us are brought up in. But the truth is it keeps us from being connected to the basic things, like nature and peace
You have to face darknes to see the light.
I'm with you. I did not take the college to corporate path. I did the military, college, then corporate path. Lots of realizations such as being replaceable and unappreciated.. we already went through being in the military so when i got my $120k+ job and safe in an office, i was a bit more appreciative. I think we must all walk the dark path to appreciate the lighter path. I get bored alot but at the same time, at least I'm not in the mud or sand dodging bullets.
Your mom story made me cry. Moms can be so caring and offer you unconditional love. You're so lucky, I miss mine soooo much. It's the little things we take for granted that you realize how much they're there for you.
Same with me i had been listening to some old calls I had with my Mom in 2019 and I was so angry and swearing needlessly it when i truly realised how much i let external things affect the most important. She passed in April 2019 due to cancer.
@@Poetry4Peace I am sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing this comment with us. I think I needed to see/read this.
@@pslovebird Thank you for reading it! Never take anything for granted that's all i can say. The regret and blame i feel will never ever leave me.
We often take out our frustration on those we love.
YES that part of the video stuck out the MOST and should be focused on the most. Treat your MOM great because YOU ONLY GET ONE. ❤️
Thank you for being vulnerable about your fears and being scared! So many youtube videos make it sound like it was so easy for them by leaving the bad parts out. Much respect
that when you play stupid when you dont know if it make you feel uncomfortable then stay there till you find a better job
Stop thanking men for being "vulnerable" and showing "fears". Women love to draw men down that path.
Other than that, thank him for the info and motivation.
@@eQuariuzdamn why are you triggered by such a mundane thought?
@@Redactedlllllllllllll Speaks for itself.
Hi Vincent .congratulations to your decision. Listening to your experiences made me cry…. I’m immigrant mom for two girls from Asia . I love kids to find their purpose for living not just for the money. I’m sure your parents are proud of you. I’m wishing your journey to be more successful and happier ! Thank you so much for sharing
I just turned 30 today. I have a job that has a salary similar to yours. The thought of quitting, going down that dark path, has crossed my mind countless times. I'm glad to see I'm not alone. Thank you. This is just what I needed to hear today of all days.
i was able to build a good income during the Pandemic with the Help of an expert advisor i met in a conference
@@grinjohnson6452 Helen Howard Pratea is the advisor who mentors me you can get in touch with her and book an appointment with her from her website, by looking her full name up on web .
Don't quit unless you have a clear path to follow

“If you don’t build your dreams, then someone else will hire you to build theirs”. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
If you don't have or cannot get capital, you can forget everything about building your dreams
@@johnwayne2140 Agreed. But this resonated with me so much because, truthfully, I can (build capital). Being in a position where I’ve worked for an energy conglomerate for nearly ten years and giving up my intellectual property to advance their business - because I’ve been conditioned to “work hard” so that I can slowly “move up the corporate ladder” - no longer seems appeasing nor satisfying. Definitely not fulfilling when you realize that you’re only a cog in a machine too big to ever fail. I’m coming from a place where capital, credit, intellect and ideas are not the problem. FEAR is. I have a lot to unlearn.
@@yasbee Indeed, fear is a tremendous control instrument and confronting, conquering and controlling fear are the first steps in achieving freedom. Confronting first by asking yourself :" what a hell am I really afraid of?", than conquering fear by ignoring it, and then controlling it by using it as a boomerang against those that try to put some irrational fear in your heart
@@yasbee dumb to even make a comment. Unless you come up with a system where everyone works for themselves. Secondly, this is a NEW concept… purpose being tied to work. My purpose is to serve God and lead my family. Ain’t got shit to do with what job I’m working or what company I am running
I've been walking in this narrow road since I was 18 (now Im 30) and I couldn't be happier. The joy I have living the life as an Artist is indescribable. I made the right choice not because it was just my choice but because my Foundation was God. I took Spiritual Discernment before choosing this path with the help of Spiritual Directors. I have many rough paths plus I experienced too many dark nights. Bro, the narrow dark road is EXTREMELY HARD that's why very few walk it. If your foundation was just that YT video. You will not survive. If you do, you will not surely be truly happy. The real joy in this path is not the destination. It's the Journey: Journeying with the Lord. "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and its righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you". Have a great Journey!
This takes tremendous courage to do, and only those who have an aha moment and "break" will find the path less travelled and live out their dreams. Also, your observation about the person in the building who suddenly disappeared and made you realize that we are all replaceable is true. I had a close colleague recently die in a tragic car accident and life went on. His position was replaced 3 weeks later. It kind of sickened me and made me realize i was just as replaceable despite working so hard and being a top producer. At the end of the day, live out your dreams and success will follow as long as you are okay with potentially failing along the way. Wishing everyone here the wisdom to make the right decision.
11:07 “At some point in your life, impressing people you really don’t care about is not worth it”
Well put, and one of the main reasons I got off IG/FB months ago
yeah bro why'd you quit fb/IG I was really impressed by it, are you saying you don't care about me, it's your boi you know from history class.
Even better, impressing people who don't give 2 cents about you, becomes totally meaningless.
same! it’s the reason why i deleted all my social media accounts!
@@lionrugissant Will you add me to snapchat? I like your attitude.
hows life pretty far after getting off social media?
I worked for years in the city as an inside salesman in a cubicle office, never feeling satisfied until quitting that job, moving to the country growing most of my food along with hunting and fishing, having my pets ( dogs and cats ) and being engulfed in peace, safety and quietude. Now I've never been happier, more relaxed and at peace.
May i know what your job is?
Love your life
@@user-wt6wo2pv3p Substitute teacher... and remember, it cost so much less to live in the country.
HEAVEN on EARTH! You FOUND IT! That is AWESOME ❤️❤️❤️🌿🌿🌿🌻🌻🌿
I was honestly thinking about doing this. I’m so sales adverse it makes me want to be a caveman again… smh
I totally agree with ur perspective. Being in something that makes u unhappy/unsatisfied just to please ur parents is not worth it. Find something u want to do, and find a way to make money from it.
What an amazing message. Viewing 3 years after you posted and pleased to see you're still going strong on this channel. Am going to catch up with your videos. All the best and thank you for sharing ❤
So this guy worked several years and had at least a quarter million dollars in the bank and had a safety net to fall back on? Alright, so the moral is don't quit your jobs unless you have an out.
Correct - Plan B, emergency fund, options, a better job 🤝
I was going to watch the video until I read this comment haha thanks bro
Or. Pay for a home out right. Even if it's in a rural area. Pay off your car. Cook at him, Save at least 2yrs worth of bills, build a clientele for freelancing/start a side business and find free/really cheap ways to entertain yourself.
This is everything
His job is in NYC wasn't it? Wouldn't the cost of rent, clothing, food, and all of that take a substantial amount out of that pay check, not to mention state and federal taxes? $250k probably isn't all that much if you live on East/West Coast of the US...
“If you don’t build your dreams, then someone else will hire you to build theirs.” That hit deep.
Soon lots of ppl will be without their jobs ! The way it’s going it will be soon more and more ppl will lose their jobs and you’ll be happy if you find a job that pays you minimum 15$ per Hr at least that was minimum wage is in Seattle ! Nobody wants to work everyone wants to be on social media having lots of followers . Everyone and their mama ( just like this dumbass whom made this video ) want to be you tubers and make that UA-cam money ! He’s saying he left 120k job what it is that after taxes like 80k 90k ??? I piss on that . If I can’t make 100k in 3 months working 32 hrs a week I ain’t taking that job !!!
Delusions. "There is no greater joy than soaring high on the wings of your dreams, except maybe the joy of watching a dreamer who has nowhere to land but in the ocean of reality."
Absolutely spot on. I just quit my job today. It was the scariest move I've made in a while. The person you described you were is the person I have become as well. It's not who I am. It's not serving my purpose to be on the planet. Thank you for uploading this man. I really needed to hear that.
Good for you. Very smart and wise of you. I am 50 and also stuck in a dead end job. Its sadder when you are that old.
There are levels to this. He had to go to school, get a gig and spend years honing his skills to be in the position he's in now. During this time he's made hundreds of thousands of dollars to fuel his "passion on the side".
I was a part of the unfortunate bunch, who saw videos like this as a young man and decided to quit school because words like these captivated me.
Please don't quit any great situation you have going until you are 95% ready. That 5% is the faith you need in yourself to make the leap. There are no absolutes
Same here! I was fortunate to make it work but i definitely would not recommend anybody just up and quit. Get yourself in a position so that when you do quit you have the capabilities to make it happen.
True I think what you should get out of this is To develop valuable skills . Very high percentage of people that quit their jobs and don’t make it on their own because they haven’t developed the skills to be able to sustain themselves .
wise words
Don't quit your job until you are comfortable with whatever you are doing on the side, financially and emotionally. I have a few friends who have done this to focus on UA-cam full time or twitch or a side project. The goal is to make your side project your main project.. also wealth doesn't come over night. Too many people nowadays pick something, work on it for a day, and quit because they're not rich. Alot of people don't know that these people who have made a living doing what they want to be doing have been at it for awhile and probably started part time. I don't think you can blame a video for your decision tho. Just be smart and rational and don't up and quit your job haha
If you need to wait until 95% ready, it will never ready . You better dont quit in that case.
Ive lived most of my working life already, I'm 61. But what you speak about is exactly how I felt when I was starting out. It's not easy being old, but it's also not easy being young, just for different reasons. This message, coming from a young mind to other young minds is fantastic. You are articulate, intelligent and wise. Best of luck to you.
@@RobPerreault Wisdom comes from experience. Experience comes from work. Work!! These self-help lectures are contradicting. Some say you must work and work hard while others say you don't have to work. It's all click bait.
@@davethomas3287 you don't have to slave away your most productive years, you can plan for financial freedom. After all the main reason you came to this 3d plane is to experience life and work is just a part of that life not the whole picture
@@davethomas3287 Well this all sailed over your head.
@@davethomas3287 I think the message was that we are going to work either way, so do you want to work to achieve someone else's dreams or do you want to put that time and energy into trying to achieve yours
Dude the economy is unprofessional its a joke when I leave they change massive they barely print now.. other companies closed down... the handicaps stopped working and went even more retarded yeah and we just want to are hyper critical
Very enlightening video, thanks for talking about it. It took me until the pandemic and working from home to realize that working the long corporate hours wasn't something that I wanted to do anymore. There is so much more to life than going to work in the dark and returning in the dark for 5 or 6 days a week. I realise that some people have to do this to make ends meet but after 30 years of it I was done.
As long as you're employed , you will never attain financial freedom & happiness.
i learnt this the hard way too , when i hated my job , my boss and my life. I took a big leap in a business i love doing everyday, one man show. From purchasing , promotion , sales , operations , finance . And in 6 years i gain financial freedom , i never had to worry about money anymore because my business is making money and i love waking up every morning doing something i love.
Finally I know what is happiness . When no one can tell you when to work , what to wear and how to behave , you have attained happiness & freedom .
This really hit hard with me. I was in a job early in my career that demanded late hours, and affected my mood from being unhappy. One night, my mom called to say hi, and I snapped at her saying I was too busy and couldn’t talk. I get so disappointed in myself for being like that. I apologized to her, vowed to fix my career/lifestyle, and now spend much more time visiting my parents. I’ll never take family and time for granted again
Thats nice
This inspired me
Never to take family and time for granted
bless
amen
You have a great decision in life!!! God blessed you . I learned a lot from you. Keep the good work!!
Wow this story really resonated with me. I feel like the Asian family “guilt” isn’t talked about a lot and can be really heavy on those first/ second generation Asian Americans.
My story is the same as yours. Parents moved from Hong Kong for a better life. I graduated a rocket scientist and got a job as an aerospace engineer. My parents were so proud, and because they felt proud, I felt like I was finally “worthy”. Ended up depressed and suicidal and went to therapy. the best piece of advice I got from my therapist was “ask yourself who’s life are you living?” This made me realize that I was loving my parents dream life, not mine. It was a hard realization to make, but a very important one.
I’m quitting my terrible cog wheel job this month. I feel lost, I feel scared, but I also feel free. I’m the happiest I’ve been in a long time.
I come from the same background and relate to this so much. I actually did quit my job in May and now I feel nothing but happy for that decision. Life is too short to hate/have bad mental health over what you're spending your time doing.
How do your parents feel after you quit?
@@Chrissing69 At first my parents were really not on board, they told me I was crazy. But after hours of therapy and self realization, I came to the conclusion that my fear of seeing my parents disappointed in me was not worth sacrificing my mental health. I am quitting and made it clear that no amount of my parent's shaming will make me change that choice, and I explained to them what really was going on in my head. They somewhat understood, and that's more than enough for me.
@@Chrissing69 If you're going through something like this, I wish you the best
congrats to you Gabby, live life for you!
I fucking hate self- help inspirational BS, but I really liked this because you aren't seeking something. You're sharing your personal experience and acknowledging it isn't everyone else's. Thanks for that, man.
This is the first time I’ve watched you, so grateful you didn’t give up. Keep reaching for all that you desire to be.
There's this saying where I'm from that: "If work makes you money then donkeys should be rich ".... Absolutely nothing surpasses attaining financial freedom and being your own boss, thanks to my investments there's no way I'm working as a W-2 employee till I get old
This is the most underrated comment I'd say, albeit I totally resonate to it because I've been amassing consistent gains too myself from owning various streams of incomes especially real estates
I've been a beneficiary of real estates for a while now so I'm aware bout its lucrativeness. Thanks to my Aunt, I saw the pitfall of not attaining financial freedom at an early age and how dreadful it can be and earnestly it made me who I am today. Next month I'll be 33, I'm currently employed with an income of $198k a year, my 401(k) has $380,000 in it currently, my savings are roughly $200,000. I also have investments in stocks, crypto, real estates and the financial markets too worth over $680,000 and generating me an average of $31k monthly, proudly it's safe to say I've positioned myself well nothing really fancy tho but I'm consistently accumulating wealth
@@brentwyatt2914 As for me I just want to grow wealth and treat my money so well that it would have better chances of being productive in different ways then I wouldn't even have to care bout money again but rather the freedom and opportunities that comes with having it, sincerely if I was earning such amounts I wouldn't have to work all these extra years because I would already be retired. You should always be grateful to you Aunt for educating you about the rat race because in reality on a handful of people really enjoy doing their jobs, the rest of us just have to do it for the securities that come with a paycheck, it's astounding how you are able to manage both work and investing

I am with you Vincent. I feel there are many that "want" change in their life but unfortunately make excuses to mask the real reasons that stye do not pursue them. The lessons you speak of are invaluable to each us. If we do not pay attention to the signs along the path, we will not get to the destination. I wish you the best along your journey to an even greater success. I will be following you as well to learn from you. I feel that we all have something to contribute in this life that others can benefit from. I look forward to your journey and your channel and the content you will create.

Thank you so very much for sharing your story in a compact, straight forward and a such a "truthful raw" manner! Love it. Thanx.
My husband quit his high paying job last year. Though I am not there yet to quite my job but this video helped me appreicate my husband more.
I understood the fears he must be facing and the emotional support he must be needing.
Beautiful video Vincent and you certainly made difference in my life. Thank you!!!
I'm about to quit my 6-figure job in 6 weeks, sadly, without a replacement yet, because I don't have any choice. I'm scared, I have no family support and friends around, but I will have to jump because I can afford to drown for 6 months, financially, until I find a replacement job, otherwise I'll be totally homeless.

That is what I always tell me collegues or my family. Everyone is replaceable. Everyone. You are just a number in their books. If you work hard and more, then I hope you do it for yourself. For your satisfaction. For your paycheck. But never because you think you will have a lasting impact on the company you work for. At the end, you are just a number for them.
I can definitely relate my boyfriend works remote as a CFO at a start-up company and he is basically glued on his computer for 11 hours 5 to 6 days a week. Then all of a sudden they decided to let him go because after six months they don't think it is a fit. I was so heartbroken for him.
That’s what these corporations do. Corps will pay high dollar for experience to “set it all up for them” to replace them once that goal is achieved and hire someone with inadequate experience for someone who gets excited over 5,000$ increase because they know what that employee made at there last job…
There really needs to be a system in place to protect the workers. Get rid of the “fire at will”
I had the same experience too, hired by oversea company that based in my current country as a senior. I am the only one staff as a startup for 8 months with a part time admin, then suddenly being informed over phone that I do not need to go to work the next day. It was just one day before I going to return to office after my exam leave, they compensated me my 1 month notice period. Sad moment but I moved on. After that I realised they had a family member who quited her corporate job and replaced me in the startup.
@@wenqing89 wow, yep, they are all about getting the niece or nephew a good job. I have seen that over the years as well. Very unfortunate that it happened to you.
Fuck them. He’s better off.
Because of this experience I decided that day that I will work hard for myself, to get myself rich, not work so hard to get others rich.
The best decision I ever made in my life. Now I am rich from working for myself.
I totally can relate to this, quit my job January this year and the only regret I have now is why I havent did it sooner. But kids, just like him I saved first and actually had our small business going really well. Don't quit your day job yet. Use it to finance your next adventure. Good luck!
Thanks Vincent for sharing your stories.
got any tips to help someone who's starting their own business?
Hello Vincent, Thank you very much for being vulnerable and sharing your experiences and the lessons you got from them! I did something very similar, and even though it has been challenging, I still do not regret at all the excessive workload for a purpose different than one meaningful for me! Fine production quality as well! I’ll be looking for other content you are producing! Cheers
Great and profound post Vincent. I had the ‘ah ha’ moment at 25 years old. Had the company car, nice home, salary, (mortgage, credit card) etc, but sat in church and thought “is this it? Is this the next 40 years of my life?” So I stepped away from it, moved to Asia and found my purpose. It’s been bumpy and often other times amazing, but I wouldn’t change that decision. Now at 60 my life is making another big change and I know it’s going to be ok. So, I hope your video encourages others to take that unknown path and find their fulfillment.
I’ve developed this mindset in my thirties and it’s all I think about anymore. I just want true freedom, to be able to live the life I want and spend my time on this planet the way I choose. I love this message.
What would you do with freedom if you had it?
Unfortunately you need a shit ton of money to have true freedom which most people will never be able to get
@@jonathan-3008 which is why there is so much crime in the world. the chase for this freedom...
David Lafleche I’d surf every day, hike, workout, garden & cook, build a better community, spend time with my daughter- like real quality time. As a parent, I feel like every day is a rat race. It’d feel good to slow down & really enjoy these moments more.

@@nakiwuprudence2038 Jennifer, I thank you for sharing your story. I first hope that you regain your health because that’s most important. I also respect the work you do and for staying strong in such a difficult situation. I think you should (if you haven’t already) make an exit plan. I realize it might be difficult but you need to remove yourself from that toxic environment and build yourself the life you want. Have you reached out to agencies in KSA or your local embassy for help? There are also international agencies that help women and men escape from these terrible employers.
This is probably one of the most vulnerable yt videos, and I really appreciate that. Will be watching more just bc I respect being vulnerable.

Good for you! Spot on with that quote. It’s a *huge* reason I quit my job today. I’m tired of being way too comfortable and feeling so bored and stagnant. Here’s to embracing the random!
I literally just prayed about having financial freedom to be able to live a life outside of 9-5 and this was the first video to show up when I logged into UA-cam. Such an inspirational and transparent video. Thank you
Don't pray about it, do something about. Praying is just to reflect, you have to be willing to take those leaps.

I'm glad you learned this at a young age. I didn't learn mine until I was in my late 40s and had a resting heart rate of 145 beats per minute and an appointment with a cardiologist for a stress echo.
Stay away from caffeine, black licorice and chocolate.
@@sunnyd4734 at the time I wasn't even drinking coffee. It was purely stressed at my job and 12hrs shifts. I came to terms with that lower my stress and then I quit. Because I did not want to take the same stress to a different job. I also reconsidered how many hours I actually needed to work a week if my shifts were going to be 12 hours a day. I took a full year off and then I went back to work part-time. It's not for everyone but it works for me and I wouldn't change it for anything.

The minute my hospital switch to 12-hour shifts I realized that it is not healthy to work those kinds of hours constantly. My body could never get enough rest and function properly. Add the stressful hospital setting to that and it was just too much for me.
145 bpm is insanely high. Hope you've been able to lower it xx
I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability. This definitely touched many people including me. Bless up!
I have the same thoughts and beliefs, and mad props to you for posting this. You are the man
I can relate to this on so many levels. Really proud of you Vincent!
Likewise!
here befor this blows up
No you can’t! Anyone making over 100k should be grateful. Stop lying to people because you’re make money doing UA-cam you idiot
Your beautiful 😍
@@MasterEggroll but I guess UA-cam is more entrepreneurial because you’re doing what you want when you want but you’re kinda still a employee of google. I understand where your coming from though
“If you don’t built your dream, then someone else will hire you to build theirs.” WOW.
Thank you for sharing. We sacrifice precious time for things that ultimately don't matter. Your video helped me a lot.
Vincent, thank you for sharing your personal experience. I really resonated with the fears that come with uncomfortable change however knowing that there's others like myself that have that fear that are succeeding and pushing in life inspires me to keep going, so thank you Vincent for sharing your own personal experience.
Almost every single word you spoke are things I have said, felt and experienced.
6 weeks ago, I gave my notice of resignation at my job that I've had for 9 years. It was a very long time coming. This Friday is my last day, working as someone else's employee.
What do you do now
GO SOPHIE!!!!!!!!!!
Proud of you! Last Friday was my last day as well. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
Are you good? How is going?
How’d you do it
What a great, honest evaluation. So glad you discovered this at a young age before you were enslaved with personal obligations. One correction is your quote of the Bible. Money is not the root of evil. The Bible says THE LOVE OF money is the root of evil. We all need money to live but we shouldn’t make money an idol in our lives.
Never heard that explanation before.
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 1 Timothy 6:10
I think its important to disguish that 1 Timothy 6:10 says "all kinds of evil" not "ALL evil" and not "money is the root of all evil" Here the point is that money for the sake of itself making it priority #1 leads to a lowering of the value of other peoples lives, their value as people. I'm not religious nor to I teach the bible, but I like you, I want people to get their own personal narrative on track. I don't love money, I love the freedom it provides. I love choices, I love options, and so I work hard, strategize and try to be smart about my money because I don't want to get caught without enough of it to support my family, myself, or build a happy lifestyle. Working isnt bad, working for lots of money and a big salary isnt bad, its how you PERSONALLY feel about what you are doing. There isn't a binary answer to is money good or bad? or is working in corporate america good or bad? Each person has to figure out what the balance between big business, money and their personal time / ethics is.
“Lack of money is the root of all evil.” George Bernard Shaw😅
True but it’s so hard to not want to make more money because of the inflation situation. Everything keeps rising and some of us try and look for multiple jobs to save enough to live off of. As much as I’ve saved up I can’t move out of my parents because the housing market went up. It’s ridiculous.
Vincent, you are a very good communicator. I was really connected to your entire video and I know you can help many others to have a better life.
