Many people think that quitting a 9-5 job is the only way to escape the 'rat race,' but this video proves otherwise. Strategies like smart investing, optimizing income, and living frugally not only help achieve financial freedom but also create a more balanced life. Thank you for sharing such practical and effective approaches
3 things that helped me and literally helped me escape the rat race 1. I stopped watching porn 2. I read books on Vexolist (for money) 3. Stop drinking
Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!
Starting early is simply the best way of getting ahead to build wealth , investing remains a priority . I learnt from my last year's experience , I am able to build a suitable life because I invested early ahead this time .
The issue is most people have the “I will do it myself mentality” but not skilled enough. Ideally, advisors are perfect reps for investing jobs and at first-hand experience, my portfolio has yielded over 350%, since covid-outbreak to date, summing up nearly $1m.
Interesting, Mind if I ask you recommend this particular professional you use their service? honestly right now i have quite a lot of marketing problems.

Boy did I need to hear this today! I quit my corporate job in 2020 and spent 3 years at home. And, because I didn’t build a framework (such as you outlined in this video) I became bored and restless. So, I went back to work in a 100% remote corporate job. It’s been 5 1/2 months and I’m falling into the same pattern! So, instead of being annoyed with myself, I’ll take the time to create my own framework. Thank you for the inspiration 😊
Have recently come to this conclusion so took the decision to hand my notice in at a company where for the last six months I have been miserable, not feeling or acting like myself working towards a path that I didn’t even want. Since taking the leap, I have never felt better. I’m looking forward to the next chapter in my career. This video has come at the perfect time for me, thank you.
One lesson I've learnt from billionaires is to always put your money to work, and diversifying your investments. I'm planning to invest about $200k of my savings in stocks this year, and I hope I make profits.
You are right. The best approach I feel is to diversify investments- by spreading investments across different asset classes like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown.
That makes sense. I’ve been using a financial market expert for two years now and I own a six-figure diversified portfolio from investing in stocks. I want to diversify more this year, though.

I was fired 10 years ago, it was the best thing that has ever happened to me. Ive worked for myself ever since and highly reccomend others do the same.
You're right- sometimes we have no choice but to work for someone else. But it is so important to prioritize the things we CAN actually control. I really like what you touched on- our identities are not our job or career. We aren't just what we do to make money.
Omg, this is exactly - what I wanted to hear. I need to break that cage - I fought so hard to achieve this job - which I love but I keep looking for validation that I’m delivering and I’m good enough - it’s does portray me as non confident and less skilful . Anytime my boss won’t reply and ignore my teams msg. I’ll start to panic and has caused me great great medial discomfort. Now I feel I need to break that cage and set boundaries stop do free work. This is most helpful video ever. Thanks Nischa
Hi Nischa-was interesting to hear your perspective on corporate! I had exactly the same situation with my boss -but I said NO. And you know what? It did cost me a job :) and I had the same situation with the second boss. And it did not cost me a job but I left very quickly. So if you are dependent on that salary with two kids -it can create problems . But what I realised is that these were the signs that I have to build my own business and become my own boss . 😂Which i am trying to do now 🤪

Hi, I’ve been a follower for some time and have always enjoyed your content. Im not one to usually leave comments but this one especially hit home for me. I was offered a promotion at work this week and it was offering a large pay raise, but a whole new role/responsibility. One that I’m unsure about cause I’m currently happy where I am. Your reference to flow state reminded me that I too also read that book a long time ago. And right now I feel that my skill is greater than my challenge in my current role. That alone and how you’ve laid it out only reaffirmed that it’s time for me to take on the next challenge. Thank you!!!
Wise words Nischa. The impacts of a negative work life balance on both your personal and professional circumstances are huge. I’m sure there are many who ‘get through the week’ either chemically coshed or numbed by alcohol. I would never point an accusatory at any of them but wish their work life balances could be tipped a little more in their favour.
The first few sentences you talked really resonate with me. I am a person just trying to come out of this feeling that, I need to agree to anything that comes in my way as I am dependent on my current job. Hope I will be successful in that and will be much more successful in my life !
I'm mainly trying to clean and reorganize my apartment before I go back to teaching elementary school this Fall. I often accumulate a lot of paper and plastic waste and need to get rid of it eventually. I have thought about starting a children's book store since I have about 500 children's picture books. Competition from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and even local bookstores can be significant though. One used bookstore will look at and possibly buy boxes or bins of books once they assess them.
Thank you for always reminding me what’s important and keeping me grounded. Running my business and being a mum to 3 gorgeous kids can be quite a balance and I need to be reminded to do what’s best for me and my family. Love your work xx
I like the mindset demonstrated in this video. I also saw another video that quoted Nietzsche "What is happiness? The feeling that power increases- that a resistance is overcome. ..joy is only the symptom of attained power...one does not strive for joy. Joy accompanies."
Hi! I found you because of your financial tips but you were able enough to “diversify your identity” and help me with your video. I truly liked it! Thank you very much for this experience you just made me have by making this video.
This hits home so hard. Before retraining and getting a job in finance I was a NHS nurse. And the job role defined me and made me a slave. 12 hour shifts at extremely low wages despite having a degree. Constant wage cuts. Under staffing, high pressure, unrealistic expectations. They used patronising terminology like: You’re an angel for the patients. Patient care is what matters You shouldn’t do this job for money Make sure you behave outside work Social media is monitored You’re that uniform It was so toxic and so bad I began to doubt my self worth. I took on a relationship manager apprenticeship and my starting salary was 56k. If I can do it everyone can!
Thank you for reminding me of what is the priorities for a life to be lived Nischa, watching this help me to realise i was falling backwards into old habits and poor choices. A wise head on one’s shoulders is not believing you know everything but you are open to learning more so you can grow. You don’t water a plant only until it matures you keep watering it so providing what it needs, so thank you Nischa for sharing with us your life experiences so we can reflect on the experiences you offer to help us grow ourselves …
So grateful to you for this channel. I've literally increased my investments by 40% due to your advice. But the most important thing I have learnt is clarity around my finances both in my personal life and business. I always had a niggling voice at the back of my head telling me to sort out this stuff but i didn't know how to - your videos have consolidated what I sort of knew and propelled me into action. Next step is to change my accountant which is now imminent. Thank you for your help!
first time watching your video, thanks for sharing your valuable experiences. I was born in the 90's often goes by what has been told. This video bring me to realize, "hey.. I'm not alone, there's someone too being surrounded by all these mainstream issue and we don't have to be intimidated by all these when we take ownership of ourselves, saying no to anything that violates our integrity."
Love the personal stories Nischa - so helpful to innerstand the nuances and trade offs you’ve experienced both in corporate and entrepreneurial settings! 🎉
Excellent insight! I think these are the ideas define what real "quiet quitting" movement should be about. Spend your time doing the things in the way that best suits your talents and abilities and desires. Those can still align with your employer but if not, then find (or create) a place where that can happen.
I've been following you for a considerable time and whoa, advice in this video has been the most eye-opening one I adore how practical and useful to fill my free time with work and diversify my identity based on my vision rather than labels. Thank you for sprinkling your fairy dust! 🧚♂🌟
So true, when you clock out it’s over. that’s the trade off if you decide to have your own business . More work , but you can structure your days around your family
Thank you. I got so much from this and yes grammarly is a life saver. When you first talked about it, I got it. Got the premium version and never looked back!
CLARIFICATION.: 1. When you work for yourself, you work more than the 9-5. A LOT MORE. 2. You definitely depend on your customers, your health, the economical market, and political choices that can impact your business. 3. Independence does NOT mean having your own business. 4. Freedom does NOT mean quitting your 9-5. LET'S BE HONEST WITH EVERYBODY.
I will admit it was my mindset that kept me at my job. I was the bread winner in the family and had to keep the roof over our head. I wasn't about me though. It was what I had to do for the family. So just suck it up and live with the hell my job was.
These are two of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned during my time observing narrative business transactions, Never get caught in the event horizon of a paycheck. The other mandatory tenet to attend one of my guest lecturers is to leave “good enough“ at the door- never bring it in my classroom. I guarantee it will remain exactly where you put it, indefinitely. Serendipity never visits “good enough”!
Great video. Keep it up. We're proud how you made the boundaries and choose to love yourself while not being selfish or arrogant in the same time. God speed.
Hi Nisha, Every video of yours has an impact on me (positive of course 😊). I love the lenghts of your videos, the focus on facts and the surrounding layout like boxes, quotes, summary with bullet points. I am very happy that you created your channel. Best, Julia
The diversify identity thing is precisely what made me wanna change up my life. The thought of losing/quitting my job and then subsequentially losing a crucial part of my identity which personally I do not even care for due to the stress, absolutely crippled me. I started picking up boxing on the side and it has made my life so much more hopeful and fulfilling, can't wait to slip out of this job and follow these guidelines to a more fulfilling life, you're living exactly as I had started to believe my life should be lived.
I truely agree with you however this just isn't possible for the vast majority of people. The example someone once told me is that the world will always need someone to clean the toilets, the trick is to figure out how to actually not be that person.
Or.....be the person that starts and runs the business that employs others to clean the toilets. I have found after 60 years of living the word "Choice" is a word that 95% of people just don't understand. Too many people make all the wrong choices or just refuse to make any choices at all. Instead they either look for the easy way out, blame everyone else for all their life problems, etc.
@@rexross1461 Hi, this is crazy coincidence but your comment reminded me of something one of my math's teachers said Many years ago and I have always remembered it for some reason. He was addressing something about destiny and our efforts I believe. What he said that it may be your destiny that all you'll ever become is a toilet cleaner, however it's your efforts that'll determine whether you become toilet cleaner at public toilet or toilet cleaner at the white House. Therefore he said don't ever think that you can not improve anymore. like you said the world will always need all the roles and someone will have to fill in those places but as an individual I could always decide to move to better place and it doesn't necessarily mean in terms of money.
Or you can be the best toilet cleaner in the world and everyone would love to use your toilet hence bringing in more customers. The problem today is everyone wants to be master of everything and good at nothing.
I'm glad you''re bringing this up. I also want to emphasize that in normal states, its OK to hop around jobs if they don't respect you or your time. In psycho states like Florida, your social credit is based on your employment. I had a bank tell me they couldn't give me a loan because of my patchy work history.
Loved this video Nischa thank you! Perfect timing for a dose of moral support as I handed in my notice today due to a list of ongoing situations including dealing with ongoing rude and aggressive communication from bosses. It is hard as a recovering people pleaser, but best advice is to know your worth and set those boundaries! Love the advice on commiting to activities outside of work that fulfill us, to ensure work isn't all incompassing. 👌
Hi Nisha, I have watched your channel grow and I think you are a great role model. I have two daughters age 12 and 19 and you show them how young women can achieve anything be reframing the way they think. This is one of your best videos yet 😁
Thanks Nischa for making this content. You just don’t know sometimes how much it helps. So many people are not going mental in their jobs for nothing, it’s exactly because of some reasons you mentioned. It’s a never ending cycle with same actors with power over you with a different face showing up in different workplaces. Till we find our own ways, it will continue. 🙏🏽
This is great honesty at the start. I have developed this mindset over time after realising no one has a clue what they are doing most of the time. I tend to keep emotions out of it and just know that I can move on and get paid more 😅
I’m going to read this book “Flow” but I’m sceptical about people being in some state of flow because their skills met a challenge. I think it’s shifting into adversity that brings the best out of has when the challenge asks questions of our integrity.
You are very inspiring! Always looking forward to watch your videos. I hope that you` ll always stand your ground and create authentic and encouraging content.👏
This content is different and better than the others who just advice on cutting the expenses, sounds like u understand the 9 to 5 perfectly and worked your way up.
I just discovered your channel and initially I thought that even though the content was really good and coming from a clever mind it wasn’t really for me (I’m a 46 years doctor living in France, with one child and working in the public health system). But I’m really struggling with finances lately and I did get some good advise from your videos. I also appreciate your calm and your positive mindset. So, thank you 🙏
Hi Nischa, thanks for another great video and I applaud you for standing up to this prospective partner, perfect example of setting boundaries. I find this video so useful and relatable
This is such a brilliant and relatable video! I’ve been working at DB for a year now with no prior banking knowledge. I’m definitely in Flow state 1 where the Challenges > Skill. My moral and confidence has dropped through colleagues laughing at my programming skills or being asked to constantly do tasks outside of my job description. This video was very relatable! Thanks Nischa!
This has been a very helpful video for me ive been feeling burnt out and stressed from work recently, and I cant shift it, I end up thinking about work all day everyday, and I've been getting really depressed and down everyday. So I think I'll try the planning my week ahead thing, im looking forward to it, but its been so long since ive done any hobbies that im going to have to think of some and find some clubs! Thanks this will hopefully give me a new lease of life and give me something to look forward to and to give myself a break
@nischa can’t thank you enough for this video. Every point you’ve mentioned is so obvious and it makes so much sense… stumbled upon this video at a time when I am looking up for new perspectives in life and specifically trying to decide whether to quit my job or not…
Hi Nischa. My Sundays were feeling empty without your videos. Was worried a bit but good to know you are well n hearty.. Congratulations on your TV appearance 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Thanks for another informative video ❤
No, it's definitely your boss. Every boss. It's the nature of bureaucracy and rigid, hierarchically managed enterprise. You can't escape that unless you horizontally organize an enterprise in the form of a coop or a commune. So stop trying to fight what your mind is telling you and start fighting for a better tomorrow.
In my country (Slovenia) energy sector is the best payed sector of them all. People there can quickly save enough money to invest it into something that brings them more freedom.
Loved ur 2 videos. Very relatable issues with solves . The real deal is to take your wisdom and tailor and adapt the parts to our unique individual situation . Eg I have found outside of 9-5 find passion and purpose for other stuff . It makes ur life fulfilling.
I am an engineer,developing automotive electronic functions for autonomous driving, I do know exactly, what you are talking about, Permanent killing distress made me depressive, sad, alone and powerless over years. An old myth: These jobs never ever were from 9 to 5, always forgetting breaks. Were are laboring from 08:00 AM to 06:00 PM every day, with no compensation for that at all.
Number 4 was monumental advice. We are many things. Just like companies started with a certain product and they completely branched out of their initial field. That's how human beings are. That's how you become a genius.
The common error is to define too much of ourself as the job. I’ve worked in Professional Engineering for forty years but I’ve spent more time as a mountaineer-husband-father-friend-etc. For the last twenty years I’ve described myself as “working in Engineering” not “an Engineer”. It made a difference as it reminded me that I was only engaged in Engineering for about 20% of my life. If work was hard, I had the other 75% to fall back upon for a feel good perspective. Value everything you experience, not the bits our society says it values, like careers.
Thank you for this informative piece. Love the Sunday idea. I’m fifty and although in my 20s I subscribed to the idea of me time as I got a family and I to my 30s and 40s I got caught up in the work, work cycle due to finance pressures and being the sole earner. I need to reset that!
ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOURSELF ………… there is nothing YOU CAN not do, what’s the worst thing, just have to do it again,so what.wonderful to have ya back, once again 🎯 Nischa till we meet again 💐
I'm trying to set up my own business and I have a side job to support me financially, and I've been dreading that job but I now realise it is not and should not be my main focus. Just as you are saying, it's just a filler 😄. Thank you for the inspiration!
Some great tips in today's video Nischa! One of my goals is to get myself so financially comfortable that work becomes a case of 'I can take it or leave it'. Also, shocking case of coercive control by your ex-boss that you mentioned. I despise those types. Well, keep flying the freedom flag Nischa!
Great advice! Some of your experiences you shared I resonate with in a previous job. I'm so thankful to be out of that company and in one I truly enjoy, it makes such a difference!
I always wondered where my money went until I discovered this channel, now I have tripled my savings and investments in 1 year. Beyond grateful - Kevin , South Africa
I am happy to have the freedom to work mostly whenever and wherever I want even though have a "9to5". Sometimes I just make this aware again to myself and feel free again. I really enjoy to be able to work like this. Even more as I am coming from a job in production where I just had to stick to the shifts. And there are still many jobs with fixed times and places.

I also saw another video that quoted Nietzsche "What is happiness? The feeling that power increases- that a resistance is overcome. ..joy is only the symptom of attained power...one does not strive for joy. Joy accompanies."
Wow congrats on your first TV appearance ! You are a great inspiration for all of us
aw thank you!!
Hi! I found you because of your financial tips but you were able enough to “diversify your identity” and help me with your video. I truly liked it! Thank you very much for this experience you just made me have by making this video.
This hits home so hard. Before retraining and getting a job in finance I was a NHS nurse.
And the job role defined me and made me a slave. 12 hour shifts at extremely low wages despite having a degree. Constant wage cuts. Under staffing, high pressure, unrealistic expectations.
They used patronising terminology like:
You’re an angel for the patients.
Patient care is what matters
You shouldn’t do this job for money
Make sure you behave outside work
Social media is monitored
You’re that uniform
It was so toxic and so bad I began to doubt my self worth.
I took on a relationship manager apprenticeship and my starting salary was 56k.
If I can do it everyone can!
Thank you for reminding me of what is the priorities for a life to be lived Nischa, watching this help me to realise i was falling backwards into old habits and poor choices. A wise head on one’s shoulders is not believing you know everything but you are open to learning more so you can grow. You don’t water a plant only until it matures you keep watering it so providing what it needs, so thank you Nischa for sharing with us your life experiences so we can reflect on the experiences you offer to help us grow ourselves …
So grateful to you for this channel. I've literally increased my investments by 40% due to your advice. But the most important thing I have learnt is clarity around my finances both in my personal life and business. I always had a niggling voice at the back of my head telling me to sort out this stuff but i didn't know how to - your videos have consolidated what I sort of knew and propelled me into action. Next step is to change my accountant which is now imminent. Thank you for your help!
first time watching your video, thanks for sharing your valuable experiences. I was born in the 90's often goes by what has been told. This video bring me to realize, "hey.. I'm not alone, there's someone too being surrounded by all these mainstream issue and we don't have to be intimidated by all these when we take ownership of ourselves, saying no to anything that violates our integrity."
Love the personal stories Nischa - so helpful to innerstand the nuances and trade offs you’ve experienced both in corporate and entrepreneurial settings! 🎉
Excellent insight! I think these are the ideas define what real "quiet quitting" movement should be about. Spend your time doing the things in the way that best suits your talents and abilities and desires. Those can still align with your employer but if not, then find (or create) a place where that can happen.
This perspective shows the importance of mindset!
Your mind is the most challenging thing to overcome/control.
I agree with you a lot here. This is part of why I started my TH-cam channel. I wanted to be more outside of what my job is. Thanks for the video.
I've been following you for a considerable time and whoa, advice in this video has been the most eye-opening one I adore how practical and useful to fill my free time with work and diversify my identity based on my vision rather than labels. Thank you for sprinkling your fairy dust! 🧚♂🌟
So true, when you clock out it’s over. that’s the trade off if you decide to have your own business . More work , but you can structure your days around your family
Thank you. I got so much from this and yes grammarly is a life saver. When you first talked about it, I got it. Got the premium version and never looked back!
Same! I love it, glad you're enjoying using it :)
CLARIFICATION.:
1. When you work for yourself, you work more than the 9-5. A LOT MORE.
2. You definitely depend on your customers, your health, the economical market, and political choices that can impact your business.
3. Independence does NOT mean having your own business.
4. Freedom does NOT mean quitting your 9-5.
LET'S BE HONEST WITH EVERYBODY.
I will admit it was my mindset that kept me at my job. I was the bread winner in the family and had to keep the roof over our head. I wasn't about me though. It was what I had to do for the family. So just suck it up and live with the hell my job was.
These are two of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned during my time observing narrative business transactions,
Never get caught in the event horizon of a paycheck.
The other mandatory tenet to attend one of my guest lecturers is to leave “good enough“ at the door- never bring it in my classroom. I guarantee it will remain exactly where you put it, indefinitely.
Serendipity never visits “good enough”!
the 9-5 juggle can be tough. Very helpful approach on shifting your mindset.
This is a lifesaver advice for me in my early 20s. Thank You
Great video. Keep it up. We're proud how you made the boundaries and choose to love yourself while not being selfish or arrogant in the same time. God speed.
Hi Nisha,
Every video of yours has an impact on me (positive of course 😊).
I love the lenghts of your videos, the focus on facts and the surrounding layout like boxes, quotes, summary with bullet points.
I am very happy that you created your channel.
Best, Julia
The diversify identity thing is precisely what made me wanna change up my life.
The thought of losing/quitting my job and then subsequentially losing a crucial part of my identity which personally I do not even care for due to the stress, absolutely crippled me.
I started picking up boxing on the side and it has made my life so much more hopeful and fulfilling, can't wait to slip out of this job and follow these guidelines to a more fulfilling life, you're living exactly as I had started to believe my life should be lived.
I truely agree with you however this just isn't possible for the vast majority of people. The example someone once told me is that the world will always need someone to clean the toilets, the trick is to figure out how to actually not be that person.
Or.....be the person that starts and runs the business that employs others to clean the toilets. I have found after 60 years of living the word "Choice" is a word that 95% of people just don't understand.
Too many people make all the wrong choices or just refuse to make any choices at all. Instead they either look for the easy way out, blame everyone else for all their life problems, etc.
@@rexross1461 Hi, this is crazy coincidence but your comment reminded me of something one of my math's teachers said Many years ago and I have always remembered it for some reason. He was addressing something about destiny and our efforts I believe. What he said that it may be your destiny that all you'll ever become is a toilet cleaner, however it's your efforts that'll determine whether you become toilet cleaner at public toilet or toilet cleaner at the white House. Therefore he said don't ever think that you can not improve anymore. like you said the world will always need all the roles and someone will have to fill in those places but as an individual I could always decide to move to better place and it doesn't necessarily mean in terms of money.
Or, build the company that provides this essential and valuable service. In the West, no job is inferior !
Or you can be the best toilet cleaner in the world and everyone would love to use your toilet hence bringing in more customers.
The problem today is everyone wants to be master of everything and good at nothing.
I'm glad you''re bringing this up. I also want to emphasize that in normal states, its OK to hop around jobs if they don't respect you or your time. In psycho states like Florida, your social credit is based on your employment. I had a bank tell me they couldn't give me a loan because of my patchy work history.
Wow, this video was so great. I had no idea skills should match the challenge. No wonder I feel frustrated in my work. Thank you for this.
Loved this video Nischa thank you!
Perfect timing for a dose of moral support as I handed in my notice today due to a list of ongoing situations including dealing with ongoing rude and aggressive communication from bosses.
It is hard as a recovering people pleaser, but best advice is to know your worth and set those boundaries!
Love the advice on commiting to activities outside of work that fulfill us, to ensure work isn't all incompassing. 👌
Well said Nischa for standing up for what’s right 🙏🏽 I also work in the banking sector hoping one day I can break free!
@@rss112 start building exit strategy. Even if it takes some time -at least you will be in the process. That is what I say in my coaching videos
Hi Nisha, I have watched your channel grow and I think you are a great role model. I have two daughters age 12 and 19 and you show them how young women can achieve anything be reframing the way they think. This is one of your best videos yet 😁
Thank you Nischa for sharing your experience. I never thought this perspective. It does makes alot of sense.
Thanks Nischa for making this content. You just don’t know sometimes how much it helps. So many people are not going mental in their jobs for nothing, it’s exactly because of some reasons you mentioned. It’s a never ending cycle with same actors with power over you with a different face showing up in different workplaces. Till we find our own ways, it will continue. 🙏🏽
This is great honesty at the start. I have developed this mindset over time after realising no one has a clue what they are doing most of the time. I tend to keep emotions out of it and just know that I can move on and get paid more 😅
I’m going to read this book “Flow” but I’m sceptical about people being in some state of flow because their skills met a challenge. I think it’s shifting into adversity that brings the best out of has when the challenge asks questions of our integrity.
You are very inspiring! Always looking forward to watch your videos. I hope that you` ll always stand your ground and create authentic and encouraging content.👏
This content is different and better than the others who just advice on cutting the expenses, sounds like u understand the 9 to 5 perfectly and worked your way up.
I really loved the Fill your free time with work part. Huge mindset transformation!
You are just amazing Nischa!
Not only you make it easy to understand but also very intersting.
I just discovered your channel and initially I thought that even though the content was really good and coming from a clever mind it wasn’t really for me (I’m a 46 years doctor living in France, with one child and working in the public health system). But I’m really struggling with finances lately and I did get some good advise from your videos. I also appreciate your calm and your positive mindset. So, thank you 🙏
It's always a pleasure to listen to you share your insights with honesty and humility, admitting both your wins and regrets in life. Thank you!
Hi Nischa, thanks for another great video and I applaud you for standing up to this prospective partner, perfect example of setting boundaries. I find this video so useful and relatable
This is such a brilliant and relatable video! I’ve been working at DB for a year now with no prior banking knowledge. I’m definitely in Flow state 1 where the Challenges > Skill. My moral and confidence has dropped through colleagues laughing at my programming skills or being asked to constantly do tasks outside of my job description. This video was very relatable! Thanks Nischa!
This has been a very helpful video for me ive been feeling burnt out and stressed from work recently, and I cant shift it, I end up thinking about work all day everyday, and I've been getting really depressed and down everyday. So I think I'll try the planning my week ahead thing, im looking forward to it, but its been so long since ive done any hobbies that im going to have to think of some and find some clubs! Thanks this will hopefully give me a new lease of life and give me something to look forward to and to give myself a break
it’s kinda crazy how nobody’s talking about the forbidden ebook called 25 Money Secrets From Donald Trump
Very knowledgeable and mature person. Very best wishes for social media journey
@nischa can’t thank you enough for this video. Every point you’ve mentioned is so obvious and it makes so much sense… stumbled upon this video at a time when I am looking up for new perspectives in life and specifically trying to decide whether to quit my job or not…
Hi Nischa. My Sundays were feeling empty without your videos. Was worried a bit but good to know you are well n hearty.. Congratulations on your TV appearance 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Thanks for another informative video ❤
Thank you so much for this message!
@@nischa you are most most most welcome 🍀😁
No, it's definitely your boss. Every boss. It's the nature of bureaucracy and rigid, hierarchically managed enterprise. You can't escape that unless you horizontally organize an enterprise in the form of a coop or a commune. So stop trying to fight what your mind is telling you and start fighting for a better tomorrow.
Hi Nischa, your audio quality is top notch, though I don't find a mic anywhere. Can you pls tell which mic you use and where you place it?
Link in the description leads to products used, Amazon link with category "YT gear currently using", looks like a Rode VideoMicro I
Rode mic to record and then auphonic when editing!
@@troycrowell3544 Yeah, I found it. Thanks!
@@nischa❤
You guys are lucky to be working 9-5, I have 7:30-6, energy sector & government job
In my country (Slovenia) energy sector is the best payed sector of them all. People there can quickly save enough money to invest it into something that brings them more freedom.
9-8 here 🫠
10 am to 11 pm🥲
Nice tips. The tip on planning your week for you first reminds me a lot of the concept of "pay yourself first"
Love u for this video ....just my present challenge .Feeling boxed and trapped in a world of universal posibilities. Tank u greatly.
Loved ur 2 videos. Very relatable issues with solves . The real deal is to take your wisdom and tailor and adapt the parts to our unique individual situation . Eg I have found outside of 9-5 find passion and purpose for other stuff . It makes ur life fulfilling.
Yoooo! Good video Nischa, finally someone saying what I've been saying/doing for years!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I am an engineer,developing automotive electronic functions for autonomous driving, I do know exactly, what you are talking about, Permanent killing distress made me depressive, sad, alone and powerless over years. An old myth: These jobs never ever were from 9 to 5, always forgetting breaks. Were are laboring from 08:00 AM to 06:00 PM every day, with no compensation for that at all.
Wonderful message .... Loved every bit of the video ...
I just wanted to watch to pass away time, didn't know I would learn so much. Thanks for sharing
Number 4 was monumental advice. We are many things. Just like companies started with a certain product and they completely branched out of their initial field. That's how human beings are. That's how you become a genius.
As usual great content! I’ve done this some time ago and it’s really helped.
Secret Pathway To Triumph is so unique. I can’t believe I hadn’t heard about it sooner. It’s amazing how life-changing this can be.
Been tracking Versidium's development. Impressed with the progress!
The common error is to define too much of ourself as the job. I’ve worked in Professional Engineering for forty years but I’ve spent more time as a mountaineer-husband-father-friend-etc. For the last twenty years I’ve described myself as “working in Engineering” not “an Engineer”. It made a difference as it reminded me that I was only engaged in Engineering for about 20% of my life. If work was hard, I had the other 75% to fall back upon for a feel good perspective. Value everything you experience, not the bits our society says it values, like careers.
Thank you for this informative piece. Love the Sunday idea. I’m fifty and although in my 20s I subscribed to the idea of me time as I got a family and I to my 30s and 40s I got caught up in the work, work cycle due to finance pressures and being the sole earner. I need to reset that!
ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOURSELF ………… there is nothing YOU CAN not do, what’s the worst thing, just have to do it again,so what.wonderful to have ya back, once again 🎯 Nischa till we meet again 💐
I'm trying to set up my own business and I have a side job to support me financially, and I've been dreading that job but I now realise it is not and should not be my main focus. Just as you are saying, it's just a filler 😄. Thank you for the inspiration!
Some great tips in today's video Nischa!
One of my goals is to get myself so financially comfortable that work becomes a case of 'I can take it or leave it'.
Also, shocking case of coercive control by your ex-boss that you mentioned. I despise those types.
Well, keep flying the freedom flag Nischa!
Seriously practical and useful. Thanks Nischa!
Great advice! Some of your experiences you shared I resonate with in a previous job. I'm so thankful to be out of that company and in one I truly enjoy, it makes such a difference!
The concept of Secret Pathway To Triumph blew my mind. It’s like finding a cheat code for financial abundance.
Each video of yours teaches me something new
These kind of videos mean a lot. Thank you so much for sharing these experiences. Much enlightening.
This is incredibly refreshing and young people need to hear this!
I always wondered where my money went until I discovered this channel, now I have tripled my savings and investments in 1 year. Beyond grateful - Kevin , South Africa
Love this one Nischa thank you for this 🙏
I am happy to have the freedom to work mostly whenever and wherever I want even though have a "9to5". Sometimes I just make this aware again to myself and feel free again. I really enjoy to be able to work like this. Even more as I am coming from a job in production where I just had to stick to the shifts. And there are still many jobs with fixed times and places.
Really enjoyed this, I didn't realise I need to hear this!!
