I used to think so much differently to what i do now. My passion, drive, my mind along with other things have gone. I had a short period where i discovered drugs and had a 6 month binge and i haven't been the same since. I miss who i was before, i felt excitement about meeting new people and reaching my goals, i actually wanted to be better and enjoyed it. It felt like i was leveling up in a video game and i loved it but now it feels like a chore and i can't do it. I feel like i'm grieving a loved one and it hurts so much.

Today is day 75/75! Finishing my last task right now

I just got my first job after graduation as software engineer and i absolutely hate it. Its my 4th week and since day 1 i am soo anxious. Like i knew deep down i dont wanna work here, but salary is really good. And i've planned to quit today but i had panikattack and anxiety so i texted them that i got sick. So stayed at home now i am thinking about if its really right decision to quit. I really dont like programming, idk how i got into this job when i knew it. I am just scared to not find another job with this salary

No reason to not have a backup plan, so no. I last punched in at 31 with a spouse and baby in 2002, but I had a plan.

Highly useful advice - worth re-watching & applying! Thank you, Nick Shelton! The 4 tools are: 1) Understand the game you are playing (if stuck or facing an obstacle) - finite or infinite, playing to win (sports) or to keep playing (marriage, friendship, learning) 2) Domino effect thinking - every decision starts a chain reaction and has a long-term impact. Think in decades 3) Solutions first framework - great example about two people disliking their job: a complainer and a solution-finder 4) Prioritize action & avoid "mental masturbation" - consume less content, but write notes and apply these right away Distinguish between growth and fixed mindsets and expand how your mind thinks about potential

You didn't lose your identity you just had a change in circumstance. If you had lost your identity sports and competition would no longer interest you because that was a key part of your identity.

Ugh... the "golf with sales" thing while we're miserable hits hard.

Good to see ya brotha man!! Haven't seen you since highschool!

I’ve never had a back up plan when I quit a job. Never regretted it one time.

No

I'm aiming at creating regular content and events for my new business club membership to grow my group.

So 2 1/2 years later how is it going? I've been trying to pull the trigger with quitting my job for a few weeks now. I can and I'm pretty close to financially independent, but everybody around me makes me feel so guilty about it. It's annoying how unsupportive people are. My issue is that my job is fairly easy, work from home, very high pay, but I just can't take the corporate bulls*** or the idiot customer even one more day! Nobody gets that.

I’m on week two with my new job o my wit show up with nothing assigned for me. That’s not normal.

Are you successful?

I did this as well. I came from a construction background like you. I worked for 3 years at 3 different companies. After only 2 months of landing the job at my 3rd company, I decided to quit after I realized that joining a bigger better company doesn't make me happier as I was totally in the wrong career to begin with. I quit and started to drive Uber to sustain myself. I was kinda lost and in limbo for about 3 years. I tried my hands on few things here and there but unfortunately they're not working out for me. And everything hits me harder when COVID19 came along. But then in 2020 I got lucky. Another opportunity came along, I decided to take it and this time it actually worked out for me. I managed to switch career into something that suits me a lot better. I always look back on my 3 years of being unemployed with some bittersweet feeling. Had I not make the bold decision to quit and just hold on to the construction job for the sake of financial stability, I would have lived out the rest of my life as a miserable unhappy person. The fact that I've quit and become unemployed has turned me into a "nothing to lose" guy and allows me to try my hands on any opportunity that came along.

i give the notice today

On day 2 and this popped up in my feed.

Starting the 75 hard today and be back here on the last day .

I’m 30 and have worked at the same toxic maintenance job for 8 years. The pay and healthcare is okay but the environment has only gotten worse. My plan is to use my 3 weeks of vacation before the end of this year and quit in the Spring. I’ll have to curtail spending and find part time work but I have money saved and no debt. I’m over this crap!

Needed to hear this tonight, I have to be kinder to myself and stop dragging myself down for not «measuring up» to what I have previously been. I need to be me, not what I was.

I always track my macros but I was into competitive bodybuilding for a long time and im a personal trainer. You do need some information to get your macros right. Weight and body fat percentage. You can get w body scan at most supplement stores or a gym.

What do I do if I've completely lost my motivation to work? I don't want any job. I don't want to waste my life working. I just want to live my life, but I'm forced to do some meaningless job just to make a mediocre amount of money, just so I can have permission to live. It's demoralizing. What can I do?

7:44 "there really is no excuse to not finding success" Oh, you're one of *_those._* Welp, thanks for wasting my time, pseudo-hustle culture guy.

started phase 1 today, however it says 8 critical tasks for me?

My husband has the same Stanley thermos😅It's massive

Part of my overthinking comes from fear of regretting a decision. So in my mind if I think of all the ways things could go wrong or all the pitfalls before doing it I’m protecting myself, but really it’s just a way to never start. I heard about 75 hard then started the next day, I’m over a week in and I’ve had to start over because of the minute details that aren’t in the original podcast but are on his website, like you can’t break up your 45 min workout or you can’t add anything to the water, but I’m still going. Found your channel because of it. Thanks for the info.

Good video. I went from feeling ill about 4 months ago. I started slowing down at work since we haven’t had any projects and I don’t foresee any that would be challenging or fulfilling. Of course due to my slowing down due to health concerns my company started focusing on my performance and put me on a PIP. I’m 49 and don’t have anything lined up yet but I’m resigning tomorrow and I’m starting to feel better already. Wish me luck :)

Thank you, this was very helpful.

Thank you so much.

This hits home for me lately too… I’ve been reminded a lot that when we become Christian (fairly recent for me), life gets harder in some respects because you’re not making it easy for the devil anymore. You’re a formidable enemy now that you belong to God. I’ve experienced a new level of peace and contentment on some days but also unreal spiritual attacks on other days. I guess I’m worth fighting now 😂 Definitely in continual prayer & journaling to weather the storms. Thanks for sharing!

I love this… thanks for sharing Nick! So weird I came across your video because I was in the CrossFit space for awhile myself - owned a couple of gyms. Didn’t grow up an athlete like you, but was in the space long enough to identify with it from an athletic and professional level. I started to deal with fatigue and other odd health issues that made me take a step back completely. I miss who I was physically, but I keep telling myself that even though I don’t know who I am or where I’m going, the “good ol days” don’t have to be behind me. I don’t know what’s next, and what level of fitness needs to keep being part of my journey in the future… but either way I really appreciate your perspective. If you can have been at the Games level and still found your way back as a different athlete/member, then maybe there’s a chance I can redefine myself if I go back without feeling like I need to meet standards again. I just figured the temptation to fall back to my old ways and be driven by ego would be too big that I should probably find a new fitness outlet altogether. Anyway, looking forward to checking out your other content!

Now he sleeps under a bridge at night.

Quit my job to start my own venture. It's been eye opening as to how much I can grow as a person by putting myself in a new mind set.

I just started phase one and I will say I enjoy the cold showers right after my workouts

I'd say continue to job hunt as if you don't have a job during your first 90-100 days. It can take weeks or even months for an employer to respond to your application whereas it can only take a few days to determine if you can see yourself in your current role on day 91 or 101.

Very helpful video. I finished 75 hard a week ago and starting phase 1 in 2 days. Much appreciated. 👍

Self pity and using it as a manipulation

Thank you

On day 2. Tried last year and failed, but I feel that I'm ready and capable this time around.

I wonder, are North Americans aware that very little of the rest of the world, apart from maybe parts of Africa, have this view of Christianity. Most of the world is not evangelical and never speaks of spiritual warfare - it’s a thing that existed in Europe with the puritans and found itself in America with the pilgrims at which point it died out in Europe. There has been a minor revival but most of the world feels very uneasy with evangelicalism. In a secular society religion is a private matter for families and private time - not something to declare in schools and elections.

Watch CGP Grey’s excellent video on yearly themes. 😍

Just quit my job to start social media and other side business ventures! I’m tired of not living my life how I want to. Good luck to everyone out there on a similar journey! You’ve got this 💪🏽

In in day one . I did it 2 years ago and loved it. Doing it again.

How tall are you?

I quit my job in oct 2022. Started actively applying again in spring 2023. Still working on finding a job and supporting myself through doordash/uber eats/etc but still covering my bills and chuggin along 👍

I got a divorce after 42 years. I've been on my own for little over year. I'm at a lost I dont even know what I like to eat or cook. I've been taking care of someone else that I don't know who I am any more

Nick, I appreciate you and this video you have created.

Absolutely and utterly goldmine of a video. So much value and insight gained here, I'm honestly surprised and shocked that you only have 2.62k subscribers and this video only had 3.4k views. When I was about to finish the video, I was expecting to see millions of views from a really large youtuber judging by the quality of this video, but no it caught me off guard. Great work Nick, I really love this topic and I hate how it's so unspoken of and not very talked about these days. It's a mindset I also just recently discovered that I had and that I've been applying this "Toxic" champion mindset into various aspects of my own life (Like work, sports, some forms and aspects of business) and just all around getting used to others not liking me due to me utterly and absolutely wanting to win at all costs and mercilessly dominating my competition. God bless you brother. 🔥

I was always told getting a college degree will open more opportunities! Well, yeah sure, but they are shit jobs that require hard work, debt, and a piece of paper that states, yes, I can do this shit job that a HS graduate or dropout could do.

Nice guys often use covert contracts, expecting unspoken agreements to be reciprocated. True kindness doesn't come with strings attached. Be direct and genuine in your intentions!
