    I am on the same journey. Just quit my finance job to finally make time to share my knowledge on TH-cam ❤ just started but I already feel happy for taking this step.

    If you focus on your gift, your gift will make room for you. God place inside of you a seed that you need to plant, take care and in due time the harvest will come.

    This is so comforting! I started TH-cam few months back and I am at some 994 subs at the moment. I had decided that the day I hit 1000 subs, I'll quit my 9-5 job which is quite stressful to be honest. Creating slow and cozy videos has been a long due dream..and I am really excited to pursue it full time. Yes, I might not be earning for a while, but this work is so rewarding that I am okay to live on my savings for a while. Thank you for such an uplifting video, Mako! It's really giving me the confidence I need today as I'd mostly be putting my papers tomorrow, fingers crossed! Much love to you♥

      @@mylifeasmako Thank you so much for checking on me, Mako. It does really mean a lot! And as I promised to myself, I've put down my papers. Tbh, it is a bit scary..but it is much much more exciting. I feel free and thrilled to create! I know it's not going to be all rosy, but I guess I'm prepared for it. Thanks for all the encouragement and motivation you've given through your videos. Keep inspiring✨😇

    I really enjoyed and learnt a lot from this video. It always amazes me when people say I can't live or leave a full time job for $1600 on youtube and I'm always sat thinking WHY?! $1600 would cover all my bills, food expenses and mortgage and still leave some left to have 2 meals out that month and possibly a short weekend holiday. Then when you mentioned the "freedom" number I realised my number must be far lower than others. Which actually motivated me a LOT to keep pushing. I love the idea of the freedom number and going to work out mine as I think that's a far better goal to aim towards. Thank you for this video, its exactly what people need to hear.

      @lunam.9640 😳 wow!!! How is snypne meant to afford that!! I hear so many stories about cost of living in the US. Its not easy here in the UK either but I sometimes wonder how most of the population get by, especially when rent alone is more that what I earn in a month 🤯

    @HiuchiKiyoko 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    You're completely right, having a "real" job is useful (even if it's less fun). There are many streamers and content creators whose only job was working in retail or something before they started a TH-cam channel, so they are missing the kind of perspective a corporate job gives you.

    Content creation is so rewarding! the 'figuring out' process, hitting the upload button and especially the control we have around our own time that traditional jobs don't offer. But it does get lonely, and sometimes I feel lost since content creation is not a 'traditional' path. But every path has its own challenges, and ups and downs. I love keeping up with your content creation journey and I resonate with the feelings you are expressing. It makes me feel a little less alone out here

    • @mylifeasmako
      @mylifeasmako  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thank you as always for such a lovely video Mako. When you mentioned the TH-camr making 8-10k dollars a month and thinking that is unstable, I gasped.
    Cuz in my head I thought “I’ll just tell myself that TH-cam pays me 6k a month and any extra on that is going into some savings for when I don’t make that much”, and that was basically what you said too!!! 😂😂. Being a small business owner is about being realistic and pessimistic and celebrating your small wins, whilst planning for the uncertainties of not earning a daily, weekly or monthly salary. I wish more people realized that!
    Thank you once again for your video Mako. Looking forward to your next one ❤

    I go to a job I can’t stand. I want to quit and just do my side hustles. But they are not bringing in the money yet. And every day is a drag for me. I got really sick last year and left that job to go to this one and it’s worse. But its a paycheck for food and roof and I hate it. Any advise ? 🙏🏼

    • @mylifeasmako
      @mylifeasmako  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I think it really depends on your situation, but if I were you, I would probably see if there is anyway I can get a job with better condition that could gives me more time and money first, so that I would have more time to work on my side hustles.

    I recommend you to teach Japanese (a lof of people want to visit or live in Japan) for example, 5 common useful words or phrases in a short video, the brain gets stimulated when it learns a very small piece of information at a time(of course only if you want to)

The only thing I missed during my trip was meeting people who actually live there and who could share something interesting facts about Japan. I was just thinking that I would like to see more of lifstyle videos and also how do people live in Japan, what do they eat at home, something more about the culture.. that would be super intresting! I hope that one day you will share some of that Good luck with your youtube career! I am also going to start mine very soon!
    I keep my fingers crossed, All best . Paula
