My dream was to be a full-time video editor, but because of money and the need to have a stable job, I gave up on it. I was treating it as a small side hustle for 8 years. This past month, I got a random job offer as an editor, paying way more than I ever made before. The wait is long and pretty friggin bleak sometimes, but dreams do happen. Don't give up
big congrats to you!! I've always loved content creating for UA-cam & have done everything from gaming to podcasting but recently, I started a reaction channel with my partner & I LOVE it! until that takes off, I've been creating thumbnails, social media assets, etc for people but finding those jobs are tough. did use use a platform to find your clients?
There's a doctor who quit his job and did an hour vlog in the mountains doing this same format - no fancy edits, just raw unapologetic conversation with the viewers. It did millions of views. I think people are craving something real and genuine in terms of content as opposed to the overproduced, fabricated videos dominating social media.
I always dreamed of being a jewelry designer and even studied gemology. But when I started working, I realized how little I knew about the industry's complexities, plus I was so broke-it was overwhelming. So, I spent eight years learning different departments within the business. Though I was underpaid and treated unfairly. However, I never back down and gained invaluable experience. Eventually, a recruiter found me on Indeed, and now I work full-time in quality control at a jewelry company. The best part is because of all my past experiences in and money I saved, I finally created a custom jewelry design brand this year. My brand will not exist if I didn’t go through those hardship, mistakes and people I met. It sounds cheesy but you just got to keep moving forward
i'm still in the midst of "breaking through" i guess. i have already started but have yet to achieve my dreams yet. life is tough right now but i can only move forward. thanks joe for reminding me not to give up.
7:30 This is one of the reasons Joe is successful. He can grind forever. Most of his peers who were on UA-cam quit, but Joe didn't. Learning how to start and then not give up is a huge skill. Even tho Joe says he has no skills.
Right now it’s a mix of going fully into car culture and making vids about builds and what not, fixing and flipping cars at a great price for families in need, or going to college for Music Ed and inspiring the youth thru music/marching arts. Definitely scratching my head a lot and trying to dig myself out of money pits and what not. Slowly but surely taking it one step at a time and showing up and being there
I'ma be real, seeing this video gave me a lot of actual hope. I reached a really dark time in my life last year. Lost the girl of my dreams after our 10 year relationship fell apart, lost my job and was full on jobless for a full year, to this day I'm still in about 15k plus debt, living on my own with not a lot to my name. I got into fitness shortly after covid tho and its actually been the one thing in my life that I've been consistent and disciplined at and I used it as my anchor to pull myself out of depression. It wasn't until this last week tho actually that I was heading home from a job where I've been at for 2 months now that I had the thought of "I did it." I'm not happy persay but I'm not sad anymore. I live each day as it comes and wake up with the intent to live it to the fullest I can before I go to bed and do it all again the next day. I decided to commit to writing a book earlier this year but have been putting it off with the thought of "I don't think I can actually do it." but seeing this gets me fired up because you're right. Why cant I do it? Its only myself holding me back. Thanks a lot for this, man. Really means a lot to me.
Hey Joe, It's taking a little courage to even write this but I wanted to take this opportunity to vent. I just turned 30 and I feel like I'm in a spiral and not sure I'm making any progression towards life and maybe I'm just being very harsh on myself but I don't know what I want to do with my life and I just left a job that was mentally draining. I just feel stuck as life is passing by and my peers are having kids and living, it feels a bit discouraging as the days go on. Idk I feel like I'm slowly losing my purpose lol.. Thanks
I ain't joe but you already left a job, that's took action, now if you wanna make your dreams come true it's gonna take a lot more actions. I'm in a similar situation where I have no reason but comparison. I don't believe I should have a family or friends yet I feel I'm missing out cause others have it. Stop comparing yourself to others, then find what you truly need to do. And then decide on whether or not you wanna take action. I've been ignoring the obvious path for years and it's leading me nowhere, so I recommend you do something.
I became an engineer as the typical Asian but I’ve always thought doing something that wouldn’t put me in so much debt at times. I see you as a free person and doing what he likes. I’ve always wanted to find a side hustle that’ll make more than my career, that way I’ll be debt free.
I always love these videos Joe it just keeps me thinking about what my goals could be. At this point in my mid 20s I just want to get out of my current dead end job and find something else but even with all the resources we have today I still don't really have true passion for much.
Im currently living out my Family’s dream of having a restaurant that sustains us. My dream is to further their real estate to create spaces of my own that I would be proud of. I am not where I want to be for my dream, but can see the possibilities if I keep soldiering on with my family’s business
Thank you for this video! My dream is to become a documentary filmmaker. Last year, I took some time away from school to pursue that dream and that decision led me to make my first ever short documentary. I'm graduating in a few months and the my current "default" path is to find a job in tech. On the side, I'm still pursuing projects in film/photography hoping to make this transition someday. If anyone is in the same place, I'd love to chat :)
I feel what joe is saying at 20:00, I grew up in west Tx where the entire economy is centered around the oil field. Prices are expensive for Tx for the ppl giving up their life for labor and I didn’t know how much support you could find until I moved to Houston for a bit. Skipping a lot of context I am back in my hometown and gave myself my word to make my ventures work in this barren land to give light to my family living here
Thanks Joe, really needed these inspiring words in the vids to help push through this slump, ur an inspiration to me man! Remember yall sometimes you just gotta shift your perspective and those challenges very well can be solved :) lock in and have an awesome day JK fam☀️🎙️💙
I went to Dodger Parade and WOW so many people and everyone having good time. LA is back.... Saw best baseball player Shotei Othani.... You should have not left LA
It all looks so beautiful. Glad you've been getting to live your dreams, Joe. Esp. with Hannah and your friends that are like family around you and by your side. 🦋🦋
This video resonated with me on so many levels! It perfectly captures my feelings and experiences. I couldn't have asked for a better representation of how I am currently perusing my business. Thanks Joe 😎😎😎
Thank you for the encouragement! I know my dream is not farfetched, I am finding out for the first time the work I need to do. And work I don't need to do, it's about putting out your work more than being perfect. Of course I see my journey to be full of experiences and practice and observation. I want to open up a sticker/cards/prints shop. I see people with their stands in conventions and festivals. I enjoy anime/Japanese culture/nature/art and want to be surrounded with other people who also enjoy those hobbies. I am trying to get into a Graphic Design program but I don't even know if I could get in till next spring after I take the Portfolio Review. So, I am trying to keep practicing my graphic skills and have fun with it. I am going to put hours. No matter how my work look, putting hours on the most basic skill will accumulate over time and make it a habit. I am 30 and I thought I was late but I am not going to let that stop me because that is all I can think of doing. I hope everyone can also keep fighting for their dreams!
Keen to change, there's a plethora of transferable skills for sure, have achieved alot however - I have no idea what next (without compromising salary - and that is what keeps jarring me, the financial responsibilities, solo). Open to advice and collaboration.
3 dreams. More than anything I want to be an engineer and run my own company. I want to make exoskeleton and prosthetic limbs that function just as well as a real limb. There's a community college near me offering a free year of college to native American students. So on this one? No excuse. I'm going to get an engineering degree. I also want to be a combat controller in the air force. It's part of airforce special forces. You get deployed with seals, raiders, rangers and the training is tough. So I'm going to be training for this as much as I can while I finish college. Just hard to balance this with work and college. And lastly (this is my pipe dream) I want to be a twitch streamer. I streamed here and there and I love it. Would be nice to have this as a job. But my expectations are low with this. I had to sell my PC parts to make ends meet so I'm on a hiatus for now. But I'm slowly building the pc again so I'll be back at it. Objectively speaking I have a better chance at becoming a combat controller than I have at streaming. On the bright side, my engineering degree is guaranteed. Just gotta put the time and work into it.
some people deal with the idea of failure. Coming back from something they've bound to their honor/ego to isn't an option. There is no safety net for some people. Thats why when I hear people say they are poor these days I dont believe them, there is poor like you wouldnt believe in america.
My Testimony: Watched joe since the uncle days and even took his 90 days to freedom. It was inspirational and motivation to go through that but I feel like I already new most things Joe and his team was teaching. I had dreams of becoming a pro in gaming but that time has pasted. Now my goal is to be finically free and have the freedom/choice to do whatever I want whenever I want without worrying about money. How to get there is the only problem I am having at this time. I am currently 29 being some what pressured to get married (since I been out of the market for such a dam long time and ofc Asian parents) and I want to retire ASAP realistically before 40 since I am behind due to age/time. I am just saving and sitting on my savings to see what I can invest to see if I can change my lifestyle. So far two things I have in mind is Bitcoin and real estate but I feel like I need a mentor to guide me every step of the way. Thanks to joe and the jk fam always bring joy and laugher. Love watching ya videos.
In addition to the mushroom farm, it would be great to hear about your other business ventures. What happened to the chicken concept? Maybe have Bart's real estate rent come back to discuss real estate investments.
Its funny how we have gone so far with technology to help aid people in jobs yet people still struggle to find a job they like. Whats even funnier is u have stores saying they are hiring and people and young adults says how theyll just post that to i guess let the owner know their business is doing okay. Like something like that. Yah so getting a job now is fishy and weird.
Love these videos Joe. So authentic. Natural. oOO a baby fish. What helped me getting over "walls" a.k.a Overthinking, is just taking action, then deal with it later. I spent so much time overthinking that in the end I missed the opportunity and ended up not getting it! Read this from Andrew Tate, and I love it: *** The Machine Gun and Sniper "The secret to winning is to do more. Do so much that you don't even know WHY exactly you're winning. Attack everywhere, hit every single button one thousand times over. Only after you're firing on all cylinders. Blasting at every target. Only THEN, do you sit down and review the reports. That is when you BRIEFLY work to identify if your actions are even doing anything. Which ones EXACTLY are moving you in the direction you want to go? Most "men" have this completely backward. Thinking, thinking, thinking. Reviewing, targeting, sitting down ALL DAY. Taking one action a week. Hitting one button. That's why they don't get anywhere. Spray and pray FIRST. Start off as a machine gun. Just hit EVERYTHING. Review the damage later. That's how you find where you ACTUALLY need to hit and QUICKLY. Less sniper, more machine gun. Do the review. Then rapid fire into the best targets. Turn the spray and pray into an automatic machine gun that hits a single pinpoint 1,000 rounds a second. THAT'S how you get what you want. More action. Aim later. Stop worrying about saving bullets, You'll never use them all anyway."
Speaking of wall, you helped me over a big wall actually in the last video with the car rental vs bnb arbitrage thing. 2 big different pathways so I couldnt help but think and got stuck. So having a network of people whom have accomplished much more than you and seeking their input is another wall breaking "tool".
My dream was to be a full-time video editor, but because of money and the need to have a stable job, I gave up on it. I was treating it as a small side hustle for 8 years. This past month, I got a random job offer as an editor, paying way more than I ever made before. The wait is long and pretty friggin bleak sometimes, but dreams do happen. Don't give up
There are ways to do it for free. Reddit does help u with that. Now I'm flying with content and all for free to. For now I just have to upgrade my pc
Dude congratulations!!

Yeah I love that guy's nature asmr and saw a few of his vlogs. He seems really happy.
Haha if anyone else quit medicine comment here
I didn’t complete med school and need all the support to stay positive
I saw that video too

Read this from Andrew Tate, and I love it:
***
The Machine Gun and Sniper
"The secret to winning is to do more.
Do so much that you don't even know WHY exactly you're winning.
Attack everywhere, hit every single button one thousand times over.
Only after you're firing on all cylinders.
Blasting at every target.
Only THEN, do you sit down and review the reports.
That is when you BRIEFLY work to identify if your actions are even doing anything.
Which ones EXACTLY are moving you in the direction you want to go?
Most "men" have this completely backward.
Thinking, thinking, thinking.
Reviewing, targeting, sitting down ALL DAY.
Taking one action a week.
Hitting one button.
That's why they don't get anywhere.
Spray and pray FIRST.
Start off as a machine gun.
Just hit EVERYTHING.
Review the damage later.
That's how you find where you ACTUALLY need to hit and QUICKLY.
Less sniper, more machine gun.
Do the review.
Then rapid fire into the best targets.
Turn the spray and pray into an automatic machine gun that hits a single pinpoint 1,000 rounds a second.
THAT'S how you get what you want.
More action.
Aim later.
Stop worrying about saving bullets,
You'll never use them all anyway."
