I think this type of advice should be dolled out carefully and taken with a huge grain of salt because it's easy to pick out success stories and point to them while ignoring 90%+ of the people who tried the exact same thing but ended failing (also known as survivorship bias) with dire consequences .
You raise a valid point @Vladimyrful. Will Ferrel is a very prominent success story in show business where there is limited room for top talent and few ever make it. However, when we look at more steady occupations there are many opportunities for success. The principle here is to notice what you lean into and your natural talents. The sooner the better - especially before having big financial and family commitments. While I was back in corporate I've observed too many colleagues sticking to career paths for years that did not suit their innate talents and interests. The ones who did pivot wisely, even as little as shifting to a more customer facing role that better suits their personality, were happier and more fulfilled. Regardless, we learn more from failures than success. It is better to have tried, failed and learned in order to make better decisions (not be delusional), than to languish and wonder about what could have been. You don't have to take massive risks. You can test the water and make gradual changes. But don't let fear rule you.
@@ShadeZahrai 👌✨ Thank you for the advice. I'm rather late on the part: "before having big financial / family commitments." 🫣 Because I have already committed to both those things in (this) life, for the past 16 years. 😬 Therefore I feel I am kinda *stuck* to working as a Software Developer specifically, in order to maintain a certain income for all of the monthly bills. (We really don't have a lifestyle where we spend much money on e.g. luxury items or vacations). I turned my hobby into my job. And it's become less fun over the years. 😩 As it's now a "must do" in order to -quite literally- feed the kids, pay for the house, etc.
@@RichardNobel Hey, Richard We all know how that must feel, having to take up job roles to support the family. I just wanted to say it perhaps not the end for other things you want to do. Infact my opinion is that once you get to this point where you have 10+ years of experience than other opportunities could also open up us. Like Shade here fabulously leverages her knowledge and expertise with corporate jobs in to her own practice as a trainer, coach and mentor. I feel you and I can do similar in our field, if we plan and power through the "adjustment period" of such a transition which could take 0.5-2 years, roughly speaking. More importantly Richard I wish to point out that you are well positioned with your expertise in software development and years of experience. As globally we are going through a ginormous shift of digitization and then there is exciting stuff happening with Gen AI, which is making things much much easier for all of us. I have many friends and colleagues who are trying to build technology firms, and they have zero knowledge of the domain, the potential is attracting non-technical people too. In short, I am saying, maybe there is a middle ground in mid-term and in long-term you and I can also take care of the kitchen and family, while enabling ourselves to do more of what we want to do. I pray, whatever you wish do do becomes easier for you. 🙏💚
Thank you for sharing this reminder 🌹 Nobody knows when we are going to die. What are the legacies we will leave behind? Will people remember us as frustrated or happy people...
Girl your videos are always in sync with my mood and circumstances. Like I had a bad negotiation with my client today and your video just appeared from now where. Now I will going to give priority to my dreams more. Thanks
My problem is I don't know what I like so I'm just setting a goal towards something that's gonna make me financially independent but I'm not actually happy about it.
There is always more to these stories. Sime unique advantage or connection that the person doesn't realize rhey have. If you can't figure out what it is don't quit your job.
HORRIBLE advice ... If your vanilla career is not making you loose your sanity, then one should stick to that job and in parallel keep developing / exploring your hobby and take a plunge only when its financially viable. For everybody who is taking this specific Shade's advice seriously, need to understand that tomorrow when you need money for yourself or your loved ones, Shade will not be taking any responsibility and won't be there to help you !!!
I think you have it totally wrong, she never said you should quit your job right now, all she said is to follow what you feel connected to your soul. This is how I understand it
@@MosheNeimanBut it provokes people to take some haphazard action rather than guiding them systematically towards their liking. Somebody said below perfectly. Such advices needed to be taken with a big pinch of salt 🧂.
@TechFreak51 I agree with your rational advice. The video ends with "have the courage to explore it" which doesn't: imply quit your job on a whim. After all Mr. Ferrel specifically took sketch comedy classes. I imagine most people, without large savings, would take this to mean as you suggested: "one should stick to that job and in parallel keep developing / exploring your hobby and take a plunge only when its financially viable." I don't see any contradictions here. But it does highlight the influence of fear of failure that has been instilled into society.
@@ShadeZahrai Thank you Shade for personally responding as it was an unexpected (pleasant) surprise and my apologies for putting it in an exaggerated manner 😀.

@@Vladimyrful My thoughts exactly. I was just going to say the same thing.
AGREED !!!
