Just watched this video. Everything you said about the way you feel regarding work and the anxiety I feel too. The difference is at my stage in my career I'm riding this out until I can retire early, which is about 10-12 years left. When you mentioned the dread of not being able to do 18 months comparatively I was like damn I have a long way to go. I'm happy for you and I'm doing everything I can to shorten my years and months to be in your place of happy freedom.
Omg omg omg!!!!! So proud of you!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I left my almost 6 figure job in the medical field to do a job making 17 an hour from home mindless and I’ve never been happier girl I’m so happy for you
Happy for you!!!! Look at it as your job’s purpose was to help you get out of debt. I quit my job in 2018 and haven’t looked back. Good for you! Enjoy your freedom. 🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations I’m so happy for you. I’m so glad Sebastian is so supportive. 😊❤😊 when I stopped FT work my autoimmune disease did better I pray yours does the same.
We are so incredibly proud of you Leila. I cannot image what a difficult decision this was. But when it comes down to it, you gotta be happy in your life choices. Why keep doing something that doesn't make you happy. We have your back!
Huge congratulations to you, Leila! 🎉 You have worked very hard to get to this point, and you deserve it! I hope it brings you so much peace and happiness to pursue your passions ❤
I feel like you described. I have been in my job for 14 years and I feel like it is such a burden. I am trying to get my stuff together and get out of debt so one day I can work less. You are SUCH AN INSPIRATION!!
This wasn’t really a surprise but still jolted me a bit and I had to watch the video straight away! I recognise my burnout experiences in a lot of your thoughts and reactions to leaving a perceived secure job, I know what it feels like to be at the end of the road. It took me some months before I wound down and around 7 years before I habitually stopped waking up at 5.30am! You were being very cautious with the amount you wanted to have behind you before committing fully to self employment and I feel you will be absolutely fine. All the good habits will continue and the best thing is that your personal relationships will be enhanced. Spot on and very best wishes for your continued success x
Congratulations on such a huge accomplishment, Leila! I can relate to your feelings around the full-time job so much. Wishing you the absolute best on your journey - you’ve got this! ❤
Good for you girl 👏🏾👏🏾 it’s great that you recognized this and constructed a way out for yourself! So commendable ❤ and this actually made me even more grateful for the fact I’m able to work a 6-figure corporate job and not feel burnt out because I know how rare that is to come by 🙏🏾 best of luck to you and your future endeavors! 💫
Pretty awesome to see you grow over the years. Welcome to the world of being a full time content creator and influencer. I think you did it right, created content consistently, set up multiple income streams, documented the process, and you are good at educating your audience. All I see is hard work no privilege
Congratulations!!!! I've been watching your videos since back you were a microbiologist; so happy for you that you found your true passion and now you're able to do that working for yourself! 🎉
Congrats on your new endeavor; definitely being debit free makes you in control of your own destiny. I won't make any big purchases this year and it actually feels fantastic. Thank you for being transparent and sharing your journey with others. God Bless!!
Well done you! this sounds to be a really good decision for you in so many ways. When Monday fills you with dread, you really do need to change something, and it sounds as if you have made a wise decision. I burned out in my mid 20s and it took ages to get back on my feet. Things were never the same, and life has felt like a compromise to me. Today, I reached a point where I can count down the next year and quit work at 65, which feels good.
Congrats Leila! 🥳 we knew it was coming but still a surprise!! Now it’s time to take care of your health and follow your passion. Ultimately it is about making a decision for you and yourself only. What makes you happy. Sp excited for all that is coming!!! 🤩
Congrats!!! Fantastic! When you're done, you're done! No need for apologies, it's your life, you live it. Happy to follow along and gain some insights. Your channel has really helped me put my priorities in perspective!
Congrats!!! 🎉🎉 Ugh I cant wait to reach that point. Working hard on side income in order to pay expenses. You are such an example of hard work and consistency! Thank you!! 😊
That’s awesome!! I’m very happy for you and that you decided to believe in your business and take this huge step. Can’t wait to continue watching you teaching all your goals!!
@@TheCelmap I still have a ton of investing I need to do at 40 years old for myself and my daughter. My current job pays well and I'm trying to stack cash as much as I can while I'm employed.
I've been watching you since the Salesforce certification training days when you were still a microbiologist- congrats! Taking time off/making a career change from being a classroom teacher was the best thing I have ever done. Enjoy it and here's to what's next!
Omg when I saw the title I was like YES!!! Finally :-) I'm SO EXCITED for you and what's to come and you made this decision in such an intentional prepared way so you're going to be thriving and living a lifestyle that can support your heath and happiness so much more! xx
I’m at that stage now. Where I cut down a lot and the money is helpful but when does the $ not equal the effort and mental exhaustion. Good luck 🍀 on everything your doing moving forward
Leila!!! Congratulations!!!! 🎉. I’m so excited for you and I’m glad that you are taking care of yourself. I have kind of given up on Salesforce because the job market is terrible and now I feel as though I have forgotten everything. 😕. I’m so torn on what I should be doing. I like the flexibility of my life right now but I also feel like I am ready to “work” / bring in an income. My husband has been encouraging me to start making UA-cam videos of my sewing and crafts.
This is awesome dude! Your channel continues to be so inspiring and helpful. You’ve got something special here and I can’t wait to see what’s next for you.
How exciting Lelia! Congratulations! You are very brave to Follow Your Dreams. I know you will crush it! There is no time like the present. We should never be wishing our life away.
I have a list of corporate pet peeves. I was in a weekly meeting yesterday that lasted 8 meetings just like it did last week but everyone agreed that we should keep having the meeting every week 😩
Congrats Leila! As a business owner myself, I appreciate you saying that you don’t want to crazy hustle in your business either. I caught myself heading to my own self imposed burnout being self employed due to the expectation I have for myself and my business. Im trying to find the balance that feels right. Looking forward to hearing more about how you manage your expectations and create a life work balance that works for you.
I also quit my job due to no lunches or breaks and push, push, push, because we were short-handed. Retired early at then end of October from 57. Weekend anxiety is real when your job sucks.
Omg youre so brave and completely fooled me, I thought you were going to wait lol 😂 but I’m happy for you, will be supported and liking all the videos from now on
YAAAAA!! I AM SO VERY PROUD OF YOU! I clicked on this video SO FAST!! 😂 I have been following your journey and watching your videos since before you had paid off your car. You are AMAZING!! I knew you wouldn't be able to do the 18 months but didn't think you'd quit already. But I know you are well prepared for this so you could quit when you felt you wanted to. I'm excited for your new journey as self employed full time! Congratulations!! ❤❤🎉🎉
Don't worry I worked at staffing agency when a lead or manager always yell at me and do more effort at work I know my minimum wage is not enough. I just leave and find another one but yes dont quit until you have a another job to start and then leave the 2 week notice. Now I work at a company and I love it.
Congrats! You deserve some privacy! I don't look at it as being dishonest at all! With your whole life out there being in public eye essentially, you have to do what is necessary for you!
Hey Leila! Sounds like you reached your tipping point! Thank you for sharing your journey! Wishing you much success in this new chapter in your career! 💕🩷
- Congratulations Leila! I am so happy you were able to quit your job, and you listened to your body and instincts. I’m sure this is a huge weight lifted off your shoulders, and I hope you enjoy every minute of your freedom from your 9-5. 🤎🤎
Congratulations. What are you doing for health insurance? That’s the main obstacle that I have to overcome before I quit my nursing job (major burnout after working on covid floor during the pandemic-now working part time just so I can have health insurance)

Go Leila!! Quitting my job 3 years ago was the best thing I did and I still don't regret it at all.
Thank you Mary!! You've been a huge inspiration for me on my journey!!
Happy for you!!!! Look at it as your job’s purpose was to help you get out of debt. I quit my job in 2018 and haven’t looked back. Good for you! Enjoy your freedom. 🎉🎉🎉

Yes I knew it was coming, but jolt is the correct word. 😮 I was thinking Leila will max out her 401k this year and then peace out her job.
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️
Yeah so far this transition has been interesting!
Congratulations! Seems like you’ve thought everything through. Excited to continue watching your content!!

You’re my SHERO! I wish I could quit my job today, I’ll have to experience freedom through you 😊
Ohhhh don't say that. Just believe that anything is possible. Have you considered looking into field with more flexibility at least?
@@TheCelmap I still have a ton of investing I need to do at 40 years old for myself and my daughter. My current job pays well and I'm trying to stack cash as much as I can while I'm employed.

Congrats, Leila 🎉! Must be a pretty big relief. Burnout is so common in our society and I think it’s good that you’re pushing back against that.
Thank you so much!!
How exciting Lelia! Congratulations! You are very brave to Follow Your Dreams. I know you will crush it! There is no time like the present. We should never be wishing our life away.
Thank you Ronette!! ❤️

I can not believe how much my life is similar to you with the burnout and etc
Thank you so much! And yeah burn out isn't fun 😩
Nice work!!🎉🎉. I am heavily focused on paying off my mortgage so i can do the same (i still owe $513k 😳) - i’ll be selling a rental property to help
Congratulations!!!! 🎊 🎊 So happy for you!! 👏🏿
The Sabbatical discussions always rung pretty hollow, so congratulations!! Sales is rough stuff, I'm glad you can put it behind you.
Thank you!!
The title alone has me excited for you. Go Leila!
Thank youuu!!
Congrats Leila! Looking forward to see where it takes you.
Totally agree with the meetings going over comment, that’s my number one pet peeve at corporate jobs!!
I have a list of corporate pet peeves. I was in a weekly meeting yesterday that lasted 8 meetings just like it did last week but everyone agreed that we should keep having the meeting every week 😩
It's so annoying and rude to me 😆
Congrats Leila! As a business owner myself, I appreciate you saying that you don’t want to crazy hustle in your business either.

It's Quit Your Job Friday! 🥳
Yay!! Congrats love.
Thank you!!
Congrats, Leila. I do envy you, be well! edit: how are you dealing with health insurance?
I’m not sure if she has one but HSAs really help if you want to quit your job.
At least she has her boyfriend.
Thank you!! For now I've got a plan through healthcare.gov (including dental). I'll make a full video on this soon!
Congratulations! ❤️
