Charlie this is amazing, coming this at a time in my life where I´m about to do a major big change in my life (moving over to new country) and I want to start over again on a different professional aread than finance so this will come in handy.
Totally disagree with you @babdu designer. We have different perspectives and you're wrong with what you said. There are people who work 9-5 jobs and have high quality of living and happy with their lives. It's not all about money.
@@bilbai2024 I say sometimes is not for everyone too, you see people trying to be singers, actors, musicians and been trying so hard to reach an audience but it just doesn’t happen, they try to hard. On the other hand you have people who just need one moment to take off their career. So yes entrepreneur is not for everyone, everyone wants to be entrepreneurs these days but only a few will actually do it
@@bilbai2024 well I’ve always wanted to be an entrepreneur but I’ve been way too scared to start. Deep down I thought I was going to fail.. When the pandemic hits and I decided not to get the vaccine I lost my job as a healthcare provider and it was then I was fully focused on building my business and I work towards it and now I have my own business and make way more money… If you really want something and truly be dedicated and focus on that thing , you can make it happen. ✌🏽
@@Brucelee89896 I agree, I have family members and friends that want to be entrepreneurs but not willing to put in the work that goes with it , they say “it’s easier just doing 9-5”..
I myself am burnt out, but realising there is light at the end of the tunnel and having a financial plan and putting that into motion can give some comfort to the daily grind. Also don’t be an engineer, the life is too much work for little reward, your managers get all the congratulations
Most of us were raised with parents who admire business lifestyle versus anything artistic. We get brainwashed to view art as a failure and unacceptable
This is the reason I didn’t start my TH-cam years ago because I never knew I could possibly make a living being creative. I was always told to “get a job.” Smh
@@Yikkoofficial That's why I sometimes don't talk with my family, they were raised to be a slave worker and very conservative, In my case I like the art and be creative.
i searched “how to get rich without a 9-5” and i knew the right video would be like “keep your job” 😂 but this was perfect and super motivating. knew i could trust you Charlie 😊
even though the first step is to keep your job, this creates such a freeing mindset. actually having time to really create a business you love and care about instead of trying to build something out of desperation and stress. super grateful 🙏🏽
@@CharlieChang Heres my view: Working a 9-5 job is fine, I mean lets just say you're an average person under the age of... lets say 40 because thats just our prime years anyways. We graduate somewhere in our early to mid 20s, and then begin work: so we spend the next 20 years at work because we gotta do something with our lives. If you're not at work what do you do? Turn the TV on or just sit and be miserable? I don't want to retire... as long as I live I will be working.
Good luck to everyone however I was raised blue collar and believing in the value of my work, so I balance that with my art, and maybe I’m not with the right audience on a video against a 9-5 but I believe work gives purpose I just pray and make the best of it. And I love being part of a community which work helps
Everyone’s gotta roll. Our amazing country wouldn’t run without the blue collar workers like you working their ass off for the greater good of the country.
1:29 puts a big smile on my face! Most successful founders started their business moonlighting. I started my transition in the middle of my maternity leave back in March 2021. And I'm finally ready to pull the trigger this coming March - two years after I had the idea of starting my own business! I'm still not making nearly enough to cover all my bills, but I built a good cushion over the years in corporate America ❤Love your content, and will keep watching your videos
Great advice! Don’t quit your job, diversify your income with a high income skill, raise your rates, quit your day job, start a brand, let clients find you, raise your rates, find that work-to-life balance. 😊
I feel like this is decent generic advice. Maybe some examples of real people you know who had success and what business segment they are in would have helped cement this
What bothers me about this situation is the fact that the news and media are all going about a recession which is understandable due to the war and pandemic but still the same media still publish articles about folks in the same economy pulling off hefty 6figure profit(Averg. 200k in barely 8weeks) in this downtrend how is that possible?
I've come to realize both bear and bull market provide opportunities to make high gains, I used to call bluff on folks that bragged about making a fortune from such down-markets until I happened to do so myself
Well the US- gold, silver and stock market has been on it’s longest bull-run in history, so the mass hysteria and panic is understandable seeing as we’re not used to such troubled market, but there are opportunities lurking around if you know where to look while everybody’s been screaming falling sky, I’ve netted over $850k in the past 10months.
I just looked up "Jackson by his full name online and researched his accreditation. He seem very proficient, I wrote him detailing my Fin-market goals and scheduled a call.
I’ve been watching your videos lately and I know that I will get my real estate license invest in my business and learn more about investing in stocks! You the cutest TH-camr too 😅
I actually love that the first step is hanging onto the 9-5 to rack up the money. Most people feel stuck in the 9-5 because they get too comfortable and spend all their money on useless things rather than trying to save for something bigger. I am in that position currently. Behind on bills, can't go on vacation, cant do what I want with the limited time I have. I need to take my own advice, bite the bullet, and make some sacrifices for my own greater good. First time seeing your channel Charlie. Thank you for being genuine!
The one thing I hate is having to wake up early. Then needing to go somewhere right after I wake up where most of my day is wasted is something I’ve been struggling with. I got the job I work at now from my mom n she’s telling me that “this is the dream” and “anyone your age would love to have what you have” and I get where she’s coming from but it’s effecting me mentally more than ever. I feel like I always NEED to keep busy and I can’t catch a break. I’m gonna start experimenting with some of these tactics so thank you
Hmmm how about helping people write lyrics for any subject they want (use social media to build an audience doing this), or you can teach people who to write lyrics too!
I've been in the "keep your job" phase for one year, and I think in 2 years more I can quit my job. And I already teach languages, but it's really hard to combine my job with other activities, and I'm still developing new skills. It's not easy, but I think I am building something for my and my family's future.
That’s the one i cant stand the most. I quit most of my jobs because of this. I’m an introvert and I cant stand all that fake bullshit and small talk in the office. I would rather work from home or just start something for myself. Life should be enjoyed not endured!
This was actually very good! 👍 Not talking about having years of money saved up already or already making 6 figures in the corporate world. Definitely sounds possible to do these steps. Does anyone do 3D animation or are music producers offering services like this? I think one of these two i want to get into but not sure where the money will come from exactly or what to do exactly to sell to clients. Are these two decent ideas??
I just turned 18 6 months ago and got a job a month later (July) I had it down thinks we’re looking good for me i got my first car at 18 never thought I’d get one at such a young age I had a healthy relationship w my girlfriend at the time an started hitting the gym but recently around October things have just gone down hill, I was putting work as my first priority and my gf broke up w me bc of it my family noticed me changing an they kept they’re distance from me that made me even more sad An things aren’t really going good at work neither. I fell back in the abyss now I’m overwhelmed I’m not gonna give up tho bc ik I’m still young and still have an opportunity in life 🖤 (mb for making this a run on sentence im tired rn)
Guys not everyone want to be a boss their is nothing wrong working a 9-5 I don’t mind doing a 9-5 soon don’t feel ashamed to work a 9-5 because these infulencers tell you its bad.
Another great video! I have been thinking about a side hustle for a long time but didnt know where to start. Also I would love a Noel Kagan + Charlie Chang collab video!
@@jester6909 Thats why I woulf prefer to do an office job when I get my maths and english qualification. Im a guy and I don’t wan’t to work on a constructuion site that’s just me though.
I started when my wife was pregnant with our first kid. Definitely tough but it’s not impossible. (Granted I’m not there yet so take my claim with a grain of salt! 😂)
It is such horrible advise. So you should leave a job but start looking for another less stable job. Because if you are providing some services you are pretty much going to have the same boss but the only difference is that you are taking more risk. It's so stupid. If you work somewhere and wanna quit, start thinking about the product, create a product, not a service. If you are going to be a consultant, you better find a job with higher compensation. Consultancy isn't scalable and you are going to end up in the same spot but with more risk and less rewards.
@@CharlieChang i recently started a stratch removal service designed for car dealerships, the key is being able to show them a demo and blow them away. But just to get them to a free demo is like pulling teeth.

Love this. I'm so miserable at my job, 9-7 and weekends. Anyone reading this, don't be a lawyer. You live a life of stress, anxiety, and depression.
Wow that’s a lot of work. I think about work a lot and work constantly but it’s stuff I want to do, I think that’s probably the main difference
Learn lock picking.
How are you now? I'm in the same position.
It depends on jurisdictions, being a lawyer in other jurisdictions means working for urself, freedom to work at your own pace and time...
Thank you so much for being honest. I helps prevent a lot of people from making a huge mistake.

Advice 1 is great… if your job is 9-5. If the norm is to work 9-9, then i would quit and join a 9-5 first if i want to pursue a side hustle
seriously commiting suicide is not the solution or never be born as a human
What if you feel like you are going to burn out from your current job?
Charlie, do you have a girlfriend? 🙈
I work everyday no lunch no breaks in order to finish on time. Its draining mentally and physically
Okay but what if you have 0 skills
Then get skillz for the billz
Don’t forget to mention being around people that you hate who are kissing up to bosses

Only way to do it _ never quit your job first
O Charlie... perfect timing huh😔😔, Capitalizing on our "Monday Blues"🤣🤣.

This production quality is INSANE Charlie. Love the content.
Thanks! Experimenting with some cinematic intros (which is what I used to LOVE making back in high school)
what video editing software do you use?
People don’t know this but real business owners work 12 hours or more to get it up and running. Yet people complain about 8 hours on a 9-5 😂
Does anyone actually have a 9-5 job?? 9 seems like an odd time to get to work
Is drop-shipping considered a high value skill? And if so can it also be considered a side hustle?
I love my 9-5. I feel like i might be in the minority but I definitely will not let it be my end all be all
That's awesome!!
if you love your 9-5 life thats all it matters me persoanally I do want to have a 9-5 soon after I get my maths and english qualification.
