Have you already quit? Or planning to? Let me know below. And remember, there's only ONE WEEK LEFT of the presale of our upcoming course/membership. Join here: jointheorder.co/
I'm mostly watching this for the heck of it, but I definitely have 0 passion for where I'm at now. So one day, either when my mortgage is paid off, or do start my own business. The mortgage is all I have left to pay off 😊
I lost my job two months ago and started helping a friend with her business. That led to new skills that I didn't know I'd enjoy so much. Like you said, you become obsessed with it. I wake up excited to improve these skills and get working on them. I'm always thinking about how I can get better too. I do have a little income and my husband works so this is the perfect time to grow my own freelance business. I am continuing to pay off debt, even if its just a little bit at a time. I'm also helping another friend with her non-profit business, and with the same skills. I've enrolled in an amazing online course that will help me grow and keep me accountable as well. I know my situation isn't ideal but sometimes things happen unexpectedly, then life gives you new opportunities. I love the advice you give Sorelle. ❤
I wanna quit my job because I do not feel passionate about it anymore since I've been working for the company 10 years and my position didn't change for 6 years already. I feel stucked here and I know that I have to work on my own business to reach my full potential 🙂
I never had one have quite a few part time jobs I picked up; and failed but didn't seek jobs any more. If you learn some things now you can always get a rent payment.
I’m about to quit my job and put in my 2 weeks this coming Monday. I hate my job and am so excited to take a 3 month break, travel, have free time to really discover what I’m passionate about and purpose is. I’m not sure what will happen after 3 months, if I’ll work at a different company or try to work for myself. But I know everything is rigged in my favor and what is meant to be is already mine.
Sorelle, I don’t know how, but I keep feeling you can read my mind and bring out the video I need now. I was thinking of leaving my job, because I’m not happy and want to focus on my filmmaking, but it’s not sustainable and me and my mum would struggle. This gave me the motivation to keep going and focus on my filmmaking until I get to a stage where I can support myself and my mum. Thank you. Really, a massive thank you. This was the kick up the bum knocking sense into me I needed. X
You’re a frickin amazing witch! Honestly, you’re awesome. You’re content is like going to a wise friend and just listening to them speak, never getting bored. X
I finished my full time job just 4 days ago and have (in the last 4 days) earned 3 times my usual salary. But I followed lots of your advice. I built a buffer, I worked nights and weekends for 2 years to build clients, I treated my full time job as a university course and used it to build my skills ( I absorbed everything I could and made the most of their training offers) - then I made the jump. So far, I have amazed myself and feel so full of pride. I am tired, but its working. I was also very careful not to burn bridges and that has already paid off in the form of being hired back by my employer to work in a freelance capacity. Just 4 days...
I have a fantasy of storming out and making a big scene but I actually like my job (teaching college). My fantasy stems from previous jobs I didn't like a long time ago. :-) I think, as you mentioned, it's important to take the long-term view.
I did not storm out but i became an entrepreneur at 16 ...i forgot about it and bec an employee then at 30 became an entrepreneur again ...am 52 am tired of wedding event planning .. i want to do something quiet or earn while travelling ...so am listening to you younger ones ...coz you sound like me 30 yrs back .. i forgot who i was ...now i remember ...moving forward ..thanks to the young uns....
I’m a 21 year old business owner , parents told me to go for the traditional route, but I know ever since I’m young I want to be an entrepreneur. Your videos not only inspired me but motivate me to keep going and I signed up for the order course ❤️ super excited
My side hustle I guess you can say is a business I own, been almost a year, and it’s been consistently bringing in more income than my day job. The itch to leave the day job to go full time and scale is getting stronger.
Employed and watching this for the sake of it, but I’m definitely working on my exit strategy from the rat race. I really currently just need to be more disciplined, focused and not allow myself to burnout from my day job. Thanks for the video, great honest content.
I've been dreaming of having my own business since I was a little girl. I am now an adult woman and I don't own my own business. I have been watching all your videos and I want to thank you for them. I work part time so I don't go crazy (pandemic times), or depressed. You are inspiring me everyday to work on building a business and I hope I get the courage to do it someday. I am learning day by day to do what I love, it's finding the "how to start" the difficult part. I need to get stronger and build confidence in myself to jump and start doing something for me and for my community. Thanks for the encouragement and advice.
Needed to see this today! Been thinking of quitting for a few months now. Sometimes when its in your head it sounds terrifying and so chaotic but thanks for putting it so coherently.
Ha. I was a small business owner, became disabled, reinventing myself now in various ways. I joined your membership. I commented last video how I just manifested 10k in a week by focus, manifesting everything now 😄
@@theonegshow7077 rare disease called Cushing's. My adrenals were running 10x what they should have for at least 14 years. I got through the disease with pituitary/brain surgery but now I need many surgeries and I get injured easily. It emaciates you or causes obesity, it also gave me temporary psychosis and dementia...every part of me was impacted. I had a phenomenal sense of love during that time from so many near death experiences. It's quite the story.
I really appreciate the practical approach that you take on this topic. I am currently working my exit plan, and I feel empowered knowing that I’m already implementing most of these strategies. Thanks so much for such timely content!✨
You mentioned that life is a series of sprints and at times you have to work overtime (opportunities presenting, things aligning). It would be interesting to hear what exactly do you sacrifice during these sprints? Also, what would you never ever sacrifice? And if you sacrifice some of the things for a while, then how are you still able to stay productive?
I remember when my father started his business and he kept telling me to do so too after I graduated, I didn't want to hear it. 8 years post graduation, I'm not working in the field that I studied in (long story there) and I've been working at a company that I'm disliking more and more every day. This year I was able to invest (small investment) in my business, and I'm doing it on the side (3-5 hours after my 6-3 job), it's still on the ground, because I have a looonggg way to go, but the idea of quitting to start something that I don't even know will work is something I never considered, and I can't save up enough money to able to take care of basic expenses and invest in my business, so I am doing it slowly but surely while keeping my current job.
Employed healthcare “professional” exhausted of the repulsive rat race. Happily watching on a day off, all while making myself a tangible reminder...a zebra jasper stone bracelet with a “do what you love” charm. Brainstorming on how to offer my skills/skillset as a service. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, much love Sorelle! ❣️✨
Thank you for watching! And don't get disheartened by the rat race: yes, it's important to know you want out, but one day you'll thank the rat race for showing you what you didn't need in your life anymore. Much love!
Intriguing to read this, now. I was talking about this, earlier this morning, regarding tired healthcare workers, from both the professional’s and patient’s side of things; with my dear friend, whom I met when I had surgery, to solve 8yrs. of being bedridden/housebound, last year - as she was my CNA. She works nights AND weekends. She’s been immensely depressed, both personally and professionally. I encouraged her, to begin making TH-cam videos. Which, she has been. It’s her birthday, in a few days. She shared with me, her father bought her a laptop and she FINALLY got internet - so she can begin focusing more, on making her videos. This way, also, she’ll be able to develop a stable income - for when she moves to be with her partner, whom lives in India. I’m really excited, for her.
Here’s a an idea, I offered my friend, in the healthcare field.. As One whom has had many endearing experiences, with professionals, during my own trials and tribulations - I’ve learned a lot, about life, human connections, empathy, and compassion. Perhaps, if you’re an artist, of some kind.. You could film yourself creating your art, while doing a voice over, of you doing story times, regarding your experiences and perspectives, worming in the healthcare field. I’m sure you have a valuable perspective, people would love to hear. That way, you can do what you love - while utilizing your past skills, also. Hell, even if it’s, simply, filming you making those bracelets. I pray you found this supportive. Wising you, all the best.
I've been self employed since I finished university 3 years ago, and sometimes I wish I could handle a job so that I had a guaranteed wage but... in my experience all my previous bosses have been dumb, and I just cannot follow dumb instructions
I've struggled with getting and keeping jobs long term, plus I recently retrained in Theatre Design (designing sets and costumes), and I've also spent the last few years working on my deepest emotional issues, because I realised that I wouldn't achieve much if I kept ignoring them. I'm organising a fresh start for myself in a different part of the country, and hopefully I will come across a great opportunity with great people, or find the drive to start my own venture(s), or perhaps a bit of both...
Great advice Sorelle! It's important that you have your finances in order before you start a business, especially if you already have a "reliable" source of income.
I really need to quit my job. It wears me out both mentally and physically, and I wrecked my personal life staying there. The only reason I want to quit is not for wealth, but my well being. I have hit my limit and I feel like a zombie. I have a cash buffer and I am debt free. All I have to do is jump. I want to feel like a human again.
I was thinking of quitting for over a year but taking the first step is harder than it sounds. I quit my job in December and I couldn't be happier! Of course, it comes with a lot of doubts and uncertainty but the freedom of organizing my own day, planning future projects and see my family more often is a bliss! Prior to quitting, I had worked on week-ends & nights on small side projects. This is what helped me to put aside around 5 000€ and start the adventure :) Good luck to all of you out there trying to make it work
@@Abundantiaco Thank you for your work on those amazing videos! You opened my eyes to finance and freedom :) Waiting each Tuesday and Thursday to see your videos :) Keep going and keep inspire us to be greater evert day :)
Great video. I recently started a pretty good full-time job AND my passion project at around the same time, and it's been such a cognitive dissonance to do both - I feel like I'm pulled in 2 opposing directions - the day job gives me security & stability, but the project has potential massive upside, and makes me feel way more fulfilled than I've ever been. Head over heart, heart over head, weighing the trade-offs daily is taking its toll!
Thanks for making a video about this, it's very timely! You can't imagine how inspiring your videos are! What I love most about your approach is the philosophy of full responsibility for your own life. I have quit my job multiple times in my life to pursue my own projects (making feature films, moving overseas, starting a youtube channel). But I learned new skills each time and retained my ability to get a new job in a matter of weeks or months. Having a fat emergency fund stash definitely helped (and I wouldn't do it without one!)! It was difficult each time, but I don't regret it. I believe that quitting and starting is a valuable skill on its own, the skill of being flexible and adapting quickly. All the best for your channel Sorelle, you are helping many people!
Thanks so much for this Sorelle! I've been running a small online art business full time for nearly 2 years now and am a new subscriber to your channel! Absolutely love hearing all the wisdom from your videos every Tuesday and Thursday - they definitely keep me feeling encouraged to keep going on this journey! Thanks again 🙃 much love and light!✨
Thank you for this! I am 25 and have goals set in place, actions being taken, and manifestations being put into the universe every day. I have reached the highest level in my career and have had a successful life. I am ready for the next chapter of full financial freedom. Having the full control over everything that comes from my business is exhilarating. I'm ready to get warmed up for the sprint! Set intentions to flow effortlessly through the world! 📿🙏
“You can be self-serving. You can be okay.” I think it’s so important we learn, as a society, it’s okay to be self-serving. It’s, simply, a matter of context.
Often times I wonder this, there are so many times when I hear people talk about or go through with quitting their job and I'm not sure whether it should always be the case
Hi Sorelle, I’ve been working in IT and Web design for years in a company with crappy work environment. It was really breaking me down, but Your videos always inspired me to start working on something on side to be more free when my ideas pick up. Started saving to leave my work on January and fully dive into my personal projects. Thank You for inspiration and waiting to see the course (joined up). 🙂
I quit my real job in 2018. I didn't have a plan at the time but needed a change due to workplace and personal stresses. I had a bit of rental income coming in and enough revenue from small side-jobs to keep me afloat - I did things like freelance computer service, copy/printing for a couple local businesses and used my truck/trailer for moving and small property maintenance jobs. I wasn't making much but felt better managing my own time instead of structuring my life around an employer's hours. I was soon making enough income to live a basic comfortable life, while keeping lots of free time for myself to explore new hobbies and consider new career options. This year (2021) I started a small business doing property maintenance. Now I have a comfortable income from my own business and I am learning about investing and managing my money wisely
All I have to say is that THIS is the video that I need right now. In last couple of months, there is idea that is growing inside me and I want to bring it out, but I don't know how and how much time and resources I need to make my idea to be full time job. I don't want to leave my current job, but I want to start, beside my job, a new thing and see if I will make it in few years. I don't wanna bring myself to the point where I will be waiting for perfect opportunity and miss all of that. You explained everything that need to be explained and show people that they don't need to jump straight in something right away, it needs time to sort things out and with some kind of planning it should be fine. Your videos are not bombastic and clickbait. You are like, down to earth person which could we all meet in like, everyday situations and places, with experience behind you and to show us all that you went thru all of the problems and hard stuff so we can learn and see how to recognize them, how to react and how to fight problems because it's not easy road. Now, at start of my road, this is the video which gives me that little push that I really need to start something that I love, to seek out new opportunities, to find myself and to show myself that I can do it. And make it. Thank you!
Just before I get caught in the hype - this is the video I've been waiting for! I'm trying to get a 4 day week at work so I have much less risk of pursuing something in my own time, not to mention the corporate world has literally given me depression on top of burnout (well, "bore-out" really) from it being so stifling and dream-crushing, so just want out in general.
I own my business. I left a decent job in a fit of pride, not wanting to be fired by a person I didn’t respect. I had no plan and I have a family to support. It’s incredibly scary and I’ve had to take a couple of part time jobs. I’ve had work stolen from me, I’ve sold my stuff to pay rent (last month). And, I fail constantly. Daily. I would not recommend this to anyone. However, as crazy as it seems I don’t know that I can ever surrender and go back to a 9 to 5. I might have to for a short time at some point to feed my family but I know now that it’s possible to work for myself so I’ll not be satisfied with anything less.
I've been employed most of my life and started my own business first as a side gig, then full-time. I had to quit... it was hard, it kinda broke my heart. Now I'm back at being employed, cooking up my next escape plan, and you are helping me sooooo much!! Can't wait for the course to drop! This gonna be a hell of a ride!!
And regarding pension funds. Unfortunately it is mandatory to transfer money into them reagrdless if you are an entreprenuour or employee. Employees actually get salary already less en by tax and pension funds
So glad i found your channel. As i sit here on my first break 1:30 in the morning doing maintenance shift work to get ahead, i have to agree sometimes you just need to sprint to get it done. I cant wait to pay off my past mistake’s and build a solid foundation for the future. Working on a rough 3-5 year plan has helped my mindset to really channel what my priorities are.
Ahh love ❤️ Quit my last (part time job) that was contract and time binding back in 2019. I was 19 and going to uni so It was a leap of faith with just enough to pay for tuition and quit because I thought my online course would become a big hit 🥲 it never sold LOL but taught me a lot and thankful my parents have accommodated me with shelter and food. Now three years later I am SO excited to be able to creatively serve people
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Tuesdays and Thursdays Sorelle because I know you will be dropping all them gems. Thank you for all you and Leon do. Greetings from 🇰🇪 Kenya, Africa 😏
@@Abundantiaco 😄😄😄 You responded?!?!?! Wow! How awesome you really are 😁 Kenya actually is definitely in the top 10 of most beautiful countries in Africa. Mainly because of our mountains, beaches, and the wild animals. Glad to hear you have been here Sorelle. I know you have been to Tanzania. Were you fortunate to see the Great Migration while in Kenya and Tanzania?
Hey, I am a freelance photographer/graphic designer who signed a 1-year 9-5 contract a few months ago. I kept thinking that I need a "proper" job, although my freelance earnings were at a decent level. I just realised what I am doing - I am now into a 1-year sprint, as I do both - my full-time job and my freelance and getting a double income. Yes, I wake up at 6am and work during weekends, but I am looking forward to the end of my contract: I will get out of it with new skills, savings and a strong motivation to push my business to a new level to have more freedom and free time. Looking forward to the start of the course in a week!
I was doing the hustle hard method for a long time and after experiencing massive burnout (Nov 2020 - Feb 2021) and becoming so unwell that i couldn't attend my full-time work or work on my part-time business i knew i had to make some changes. In March 2021 i left my full-time job and switched to part-time hours, i sold almost everything i had and moved into a self-contained van to minimise my largest expense, rent. I now work part-time for an amazing local charity with a lot of flexibility to manage my own time and can work digitally for the most part allowing me the freedom to build my own business while still making sure i have some steady income to live off. Really enjoying this channel to be reassured that i am not alone in my desire for freedom and autonomy. Thank you for sharing your tips Sorelle ✌🏽
Good one Sorelle. Zero funds in this world certainly has a lot of resistance. It functions as a trap owing to our alienation from Nature. Wildcraft is one way out. To learn to live without money is a great skill. The social contract supporting money is ephemeral. One twist in the code and we're all broke, unless land metal and Wildcraft are in place and solid. All the same, I have desires, work to accomplish before I'm done. I value your wisdom in navigating the unreal money made real by our belief in it, plus all the authoritarian clamps that blind us to our bodies, communties, and our world. The machine is so violent cause it's out of touch with heart and belly sense, has no Wildcraft. It's based on the belief that humans are separate from Nature. Yeah, right.
Thanks for this. I've started thinking/acting along some of the points you've mentioned some time ago and hopefully I'll be able to integrate in my life a couple of others you've mentioned. It's reassuring to hear from someone who has walked the walk that it can be done.
As a student I'm thinking if I could start from zero without needing to work on a "regular job" first. A lot of self-reflection to do. Thank you for encouraging us!
i think it's better to have your CV full of some job experiences in case your plan fails! then you can go back to a regular job for a while and try again :)
It is working for me because my business is in the exact same field as what i studied. Despite having a degree, if a year or two pass without you practising that exact degree, noone wants to hire you.
I quit my job at the beginning of the year to focus on my trading business and nothing went to plan! It's been a challenging year and I've had to live off of my assets, I'm quite lucky to have had a supportive partner and free rent though. I've learnt so much and as hard as it has been I still prefer it over having a job but that stress of paying bills and basics definitely can be debilitating and I've ended up with gut issues from the stress. It definitely does affect your creativity and makes you feel a sense of urgency in achieving your goals which can lead to reckless decisions at times. Anyone considering it should definitely make sure they have enough money coming in to at least cover their basic necessities without any issues.
I am a full time mom (in Czech Republic we have maternity benefit for 4 years) and I am slowly starting to build my photography/social media management side business and also have a TH-cam Channel where I post vlogs every week. I shoot for having this as a part time job by the time my daughter starts pre-school and then I will do my best to make it my full time business. I'd love to start investing in properties once I save up some coins too. Thank you for this channel and your videos because they're making me "JUST DO IT" 😍
the nuts and bolts are so necessary to figure out! i kinda wish i did this before I left my corporate but after a bit of time (with lots of anxiety and fear lol), i figured it out with freelancing while traveling. These are awesome tips and so empowering Sorelle- thank you!
Employed and recently feel down a rabbit hole of self improvement and personal finance. Working on building my savings and investment and trying to shift my mindset.
I've always been told that I needed to have a credit card/build my credit score in order to be able to travel, rent cars or accommodation, buy a house, etc... so you're saying there's a way where I don't need one?? I'm highly curious about this and would LOVE to see a video about it! also, for some extra details, I have the same goals that you did, become a digital nomad, work full-time on youtube/social media, and become as free as possible.
I’m a business owner, part time employed. My strategy before watching this has been to build up my business and drop days at my employed job as I go. Especially during these crazy times, I don’t want to cut myself off too quickly.
I own a business and I was someone who felt the time was right, but also that I could make enough money. I quit my job to pursue my 3D printing dream. What I found quickly is that these bills don't care about my dreams lol I still plan to work on my business, but I want to do it smarter next time. Like you mentioned I want to have the security until my business is making enough consistently because not having that money made me desperate, which killed all my drive to create.
I CAN’T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR THIS VIDEO????? I quit my full time job this March because I really wanted to focus on my passion project and I do feel the same way as the people who watch your videos, we want to work for ourselves and not for other people. AND YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED! I relate so much to number 2! THAT NO INCOME IS SO SO SO CRIPPLING! I was struggling a lot and I don’t really want to blame myself for quitting my job without a backup plan because I DID it already and it’s not gonna change anything, but I DO agree with you Sorelle, that it is indeed the STUPIDEST thing 😂😂😂 So, just this month. I applied for another job AGAIN and thankfully, I got it! And this video REALLY HELPED a lot and gave me ideas now on how to work on my business RATIONALLY 😂 I admire you so much. Thanks Sorelle!
I hate my job and the rotating shifts, so yeah, I've been considering quitting it for quite a while. I am actually tired of feeling miserable just to pay the bills. But I also have to be realistic. Considering my stuttering and my hearing incapacity (80%), I'm certain it'll be even harder than normal to be self-employed. My dream and my goal is to become a writer, to write inspiring and motivational stories and poetry with a twist... That being said, it's always good to watch your videos and to learn from you. You're an inspiration and a motivation to many. Wish you all the best!
Planning to. Tired of working excess hours and not having the life that I've aways wanted. But your channel is motivating me to work even harder because there were times I thought that there's something wrong with me. Because I've always kept saying: "hey! let's try this!" And everybody said: "No, you cannot do that, everybody knows that it's too hard." Now with my husband when we lost our first business because of the pandemics (bad planing, we did't have enough spare cash to survive an event like that) and we are recovering from lot of debts, we are actively thinking and planning what to do next, what to invest into and thinking about our future. And you keep showing that we're not freaks... Thanks.
I am now working hard on my own businesses and together with my husband we plan to retire within 2 years ( we would’ve wanted it to be yesterday). Our passion now is to live a life of freedom. Finally working on our dreams. Thank you for inspiring me with your videos.
I have a side hustle and have been wanting to quit my day job for months. Pleased I haven’t because I’ve had so many delays and set backs due to Covid that I would have given up by now. Still playing the game of working during the day while planning my next move. Your videos are keeping me motivated until I can have total control of my own life. Thank you.
Sorelle you're always refreshing and enlightening. Never just quit your job. Make sure to have another job to start with and then hand in your resignation. Never never bad mouth the bad job or its employees. Trust me it will be known to haunt you. I love the story of two Aussie neighbours who got together to launch AFTERPAY. Two creative heads are better than one.
It was Marco Pierre White that snapped me back to reality when he said "well most of us don't have that luxury" I think he was responding to a cook that didn't work for a year because wanted to "find his passion" or something. Look for the circumstances you want, don't look for an "escape."
i just quit my job, already have my own business as personal trainer on top of my roof but kept my back-up income working for a Hotel. decided to go fully independent from November and just opened my 2nd company being an artist, scary as Fck but believe now is the time and just only want to do things that are in line with me, life is too precious not to. So lets go!! love to see so many people(including you) living there innerfire
Oh yes I have heard of this so many times and have definitely thought about it! I would love to fully work for myself one day and be happy with what I am doing with my time. I totally agree with you theres so many things to consider before jumping ship. Its so amazing to hear your story! Thank you so much!
I am a full time mum at the moment and have worked in corporate before as software engineer for 9 years but now want to start business as i do want to spend time with kids and not work full time job
I am a business owner. Before I was a consultant but I burned out to the point I couldn’t talk or get up from bed or take a walk or even eat normally. I knew it was about to happen so I saved up during the whole time I worked. I’ve lived on that saving buffer for two years and now I’m slowly building an income from my passion. But I cannot work normal hours and probably never should if I want to keep being able to eat and walk. That’s why I want to find ways to work on my passion and selling in a way that I can choose my hours and not work 8 hour days. I know it means I won’t make as much or can fully sprint but it’s the only way for me. That’s why knowing finances and how to sell is so important to me. Thanks Sorelle!
Thank you Sorelle, for sharing your experiences, it really makes me feel like what I want is possible, and now I have a guideline to follow on my future journey of working for myself.
Love this video! I'm a business owner and have a job. I'm waiting till I do all those step to drop my job. Currently no work life balance, all work for another 6 months.
So good they can't ignore - Cal Newport. Is a book related to this video that everyone should have a look at before making this kind of decisions.. Love the content Sorelle!
I am so close to quitting the day job! My girl and I sell online and do very well. She quit a year ago and I'm almost there. We're ready for me to make the leap!! Oh yeah, I'll be 49 in March. It's never too late to make it happen.
Have you already quit? Or planning to? Let me know below.
And remember, there's only ONE WEEK LEFT of the presale of our upcoming course/membership. Join here: jointheorder.co/
I'm mostly watching this for the heck of it, but I definitely have 0 passion for where I'm at now. So one day, either when my mortgage is paid off, or do start my own business. The mortgage is all I have left to pay off 😊
I lost my job two months ago and started helping a friend with her business. That led to new skills that I didn't know I'd enjoy so much. Like you said, you become obsessed with it. I wake up excited to improve these skills and get working on them. I'm always thinking about how I can get better too.
I do have a little income and my husband works so this is the perfect time to grow my own freelance business. I am continuing to pay off debt, even if its just a little bit at a time.
I'm also helping another friend with her non-profit business, and with the same skills.
I've enrolled in an amazing online course that will help me grow and keep me accountable as well.
I know my situation isn't ideal but sometimes things happen unexpectedly, then life gives you new opportunities.
I love the advice you give Sorelle. ❤
I wanna quit my job because I do not feel passionate about it anymore since I've been working for the company 10 years and my position didn't change for 6 years already. I feel stucked here and I know that I have to work on my own business to reach my full potential 🙂
I never had one have quite a few part time jobs I picked up; and failed but didn't seek jobs any more. If you learn some things now you can always get a rent payment.
Planning on quitting, once I figured what it is that I actually want to do. 🤔
I’m about to quit my job and put in my 2 weeks this coming Monday. I hate my job and am so excited to take a 3 month break, travel, have free time to really discover what I’m passionate about and purpose is. I’m not sure what will happen after 3 months, if I’ll work at a different company or try to work for myself. But I know everything is rigged in my favor and what is meant to be is already mine.
Amazing! Good luck on your incredible journey!
Sorelle, I don’t know how, but I keep feeling you can read my mind and bring out the video I need now. I was thinking of leaving my job, because I’m not happy and want to focus on my filmmaking, but it’s not sustainable and me and my mum would struggle. This gave me the motivation to keep going and focus on my filmmaking until I get to a stage where I can support myself and my mum. Thank you. Really, a massive thank you. This was the kick up the bum knocking sense into me I needed. X
I'm a witch. Reading minds is what I do!
You’re a frickin amazing witch! Honestly, you’re awesome. You’re content is like going to a wise friend and just listening to them speak, never getting bored. X
@@Abundantiaco U Rock! 😉👊🏼
I finished my full time job just 4 days ago and have (in the last 4 days) earned 3 times my usual salary. But I followed lots of your advice. I built a buffer, I worked nights and weekends for 2 years to build clients, I treated my full time job as a university course and used it to build my skills ( I absorbed everything I could and made the most of their training offers) - then I made the jump. So far, I have amazed myself and feel so full of pride. I am tired, but its working. I was also very careful not to burn bridges and that has already paid off in the form of being hired back by my employer to work in a freelance capacity. Just 4 days...
I have a fantasy of storming out and making a big scene but I actually like my job (teaching college). My fantasy stems from previous jobs I didn't like a long time ago. :-) I think, as you mentioned, it's important to take the long-term view.
Long term view is VERY important! And also, don't necessarily have to storm out. Don't wanna burn any bridges!
I did not storm out but i became an entrepreneur at 16 ...i forgot about it and bec an employee then at 30 became an entrepreneur again ...am 52 am tired of wedding event planning .. i want to do something quiet or earn while travelling ...so am listening to you younger ones ...coz you sound like me 30 yrs back .. i forgot who i was ...now i remember ...moving forward ..thanks to the young uns....
What a topic Sorelle! It's like you're reading our minds...
Maybe! Or maybe it's just because we had a HUGE number of requests for this video!
@@Abundantiaco of course!
YOURE HAIR OMG SO CUTE!!!! It's so much more pastel and light than what we've seen you do before. I like the change!
Thank you! I'm still getting used to it if I'm honest.
@@Abundantiaco can't be mad at change, but the dark was better. Maybe it'll grow on us too 😀
Yeah i agree wish i could cut my hair like that but my hair is too wavy and wild

I’m a 21 year old business owner , parents told me to go for the traditional route, but I know ever since I’m young I want to be an entrepreneur. Your videos not only inspired me but motivate me to keep going and I signed up for the order course ❤️ super excited
My side hustle I guess you can say is a business I own, been almost a year, and it’s been consistently bringing in more income than my day job. The itch to leave the day job to go full time and scale is getting stronger.
Employed and watching this for the sake of it, but I’m definitely working on my exit strategy from the rat race. I really currently just need to be more disciplined, focused and not allow myself to burnout from my day job. Thanks for the video, great honest content.
I've been dreaming of having my own business since I was a little girl. I am now an adult woman and I don't own my own business. I have been watching all your videos and I want to thank you for them. I work part time so I don't go crazy (pandemic times), or depressed. You are inspiring me everyday to work on building a business and I hope I get the courage to do it someday. I am learning day by day to do what I love, it's finding the "how to start" the difficult part. I need to get stronger and build confidence in myself to jump and start doing something for me and for my community. Thanks for the encouragement and advice.
Thank you for watching. You've got this.
Needed to see this today! Been thinking of quitting for a few months now. Sometimes when its in your head it sounds terrifying and so chaotic but thanks for putting it so coherently.
Go for it... just remember not to put yourself at the risk of something that was worse off than before.
Ha. I was a small business owner, became disabled, reinventing myself now in various ways. I joined your membership. I commented last video how I just manifested 10k in a week by focus, manifesting everything now 😄
INCREDIBLE! Whoa... that's a huge manifestation in only a week!
Curious, what disability occurred?
@@theonegshow7077 rare disease called Cushing's. My adrenals were running 10x what they should have for at least 14 years. I got through the disease with pituitary/brain surgery but now I need many surgeries and I get injured easily. It emaciates you or causes obesity, it also gave me temporary psychosis and dementia...every part of me was impacted. I had a phenomenal sense of love during that time from so many near death experiences. It's quite the story.
I really appreciate the practical approach that you take on this topic. I am currently working my exit plan, and I feel empowered knowing that I’m already implementing most of these strategies. Thanks so much for such timely content!✨
Incredible! Glad it came at a good time.
You mentioned that life is a series of sprints and at times you have to work overtime (opportunities presenting, things aligning). It would be interesting to hear what exactly do you sacrifice during these sprints? Also, what would you never ever sacrifice? And if you sacrifice some of the things for a while, then how are you still able to stay productive?
Isn't it these exact sprints that you have to endure to reap the long-term benefits?:) My 2cts.
I want to know these as well
I remember when my father started his business and he kept telling me to do so too after I graduated, I didn't want to hear it. 8 years post graduation, I'm not working in the field that I studied in (long story there) and I've been working at a company that I'm disliking more and more every day.
This year I was able to invest (small investment) in my business, and I'm doing it on the side (3-5 hours after my 6-3 job), it's still on the ground, because I have a looonggg way to go, but the idea of quitting to start something that I don't even know will work is something I never considered, and I can't save up enough money to able to take care of basic expenses and invest in my business, so I am doing it slowly but surely while keeping my current job.
Employed healthcare “professional” exhausted of the repulsive rat race. Happily watching on a day off, all while making myself a tangible reminder...a zebra jasper stone bracelet with a “do what you love” charm. Brainstorming on how to offer my skills/skillset as a service. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, much love Sorelle! ❣️✨
Thank you for watching! And don't get disheartened by the rat race: yes, it's important to know you want out, but one day you'll thank the rat race for showing you what you didn't need in your life anymore. Much love!
Interesting...
Do you have an on-line shop? Or am I too soon to look around and make a purchase?
@@thomasboese3793 not yet…working on it.❣️✨
Intriguing to read this, now.
I was talking about this, earlier this morning, regarding tired healthcare workers, from both the professional’s and patient’s side of things; with my dear friend, whom I met when I had surgery, to solve 8yrs. of being bedridden/housebound, last year - as she was my CNA.
She works nights AND weekends.
She’s been immensely depressed, both personally and professionally.
I encouraged her, to begin making TH-cam videos.
Which, she has been.
It’s her birthday, in a few days. She shared with me, her father bought her a laptop and she FINALLY got internet - so she can begin focusing more, on making her videos.
This way, also, she’ll be able to develop a stable income - for when she moves to be with her partner, whom lives in India.
I’m really excited, for her.
Here’s a an idea, I offered my friend, in the healthcare field..
As One whom has had many endearing experiences, with professionals, during my own trials and tribulations - I’ve learned a lot, about life, human connections, empathy, and compassion.
Perhaps, if you’re an artist, of some kind..
You could film yourself creating your art, while doing a voice over, of you doing story times, regarding your experiences and perspectives, worming in the healthcare field.
I’m sure you have a valuable perspective, people would love to hear.
That way, you can do what you love - while utilizing your past skills, also.
Hell, even if it’s, simply, filming you making those bracelets.
I pray you found this supportive.
Wising you, all the best.
I've been self employed since I finished university 3 years ago, and sometimes I wish I could handle a job so that I had a guaranteed wage but... in my experience all my previous bosses have been dumb, and I just cannot follow dumb instructions
I've struggled with getting and keeping jobs long term, plus I recently retrained in Theatre Design (designing sets and costumes), and I've also spent the last few years working on my deepest emotional issues, because I realised that I wouldn't achieve much if I kept ignoring them. I'm organising a fresh start for myself in a different part of the country, and hopefully I will come across a great opportunity with great people, or find the drive to start my own venture(s), or perhaps a bit of both...
Great advice Sorelle! It's important that you have your finances in order before you start a business, especially if you already have a "reliable" source of income.
Yes yes yes!
I really need to quit my job. It wears me out both mentally and physically, and I wrecked my personal life staying there. The only reason I want to quit is not for wealth, but my well being. I have hit my limit and I feel like a zombie. I have a cash buffer and I am debt free. All I have to do is jump. I want to feel like a human again.
Same here
I've never been happier since I started my SMMA. So I can totally relate to what you're talking about! 💯
Yes!! So amazing to hear.
I was thinking of quitting for over a year but taking the first step is harder than it sounds. I quit my job in December and I couldn't be happier! Of course, it comes with a lot of doubts and uncertainty but the freedom of organizing my own day, planning future projects and see my family more often is a bliss! Prior to quitting, I had worked on week-ends & nights on small side projects. This is what helped me to put aside around 5 000€ and start the adventure :) Good luck to all of you out there trying to make it work
Amazing! Great action you're taking!
@@Abundantiaco Thank you for your work on those amazing videos! You opened my eyes to finance and freedom :) Waiting each Tuesday and Thursday to see your videos :) Keep going and keep inspire us to be greater evert day :)
Great video. I recently started a pretty good full-time job AND my passion project at around the same time, and it's been such a cognitive dissonance to do both - I feel like I'm pulled in 2 opposing directions - the day job gives me security & stability, but the project has potential massive upside, and makes me feel way more fulfilled than I've ever been. Head over heart, heart over head, weighing the trade-offs daily is taking its toll!
Thanks for making a video about this, it's very timely! You can't imagine how inspiring your videos are! What I love most about your approach is the philosophy of full responsibility for your own life. I have quit my job multiple times in my life to pursue my own projects (making feature films, moving overseas, starting a youtube channel). But I learned new skills each time and retained my ability to get a new job in a matter of weeks or months. Having a fat emergency fund stash definitely helped (and I wouldn't do it without one!)! It was difficult each time, but I don't regret it. I believe that quitting and starting is a valuable skill on its own, the skill of being flexible and adapting quickly. All the best for your channel Sorelle, you are helping many people!
Wow, thank you so much for the very lovely words!
Thanks so much for this Sorelle! I've been running a small online art business full time for nearly 2 years now and am a new subscriber to your channel! Absolutely love hearing all the wisdom from your videos every Tuesday and Thursday - they definitely keep me feeling encouraged to keep going on this journey! Thanks again 🙃 much love and light!✨
You are so welcome!
Trying to quit my job in the next 3-6 months so this was the perfect video for me 😊
Quit! (But don’t) but quit! (But don’t).
#sorrynotsorry parents ;)
Why not have both?
Thank you for this! I am 25 and have goals set in place, actions being taken, and manifestations being put into the universe every day. I have reached the highest level in my career and have had a successful life. I am ready for the next chapter of full financial freedom. Having the full control over everything that comes from my business is exhilarating. I'm ready to get warmed up for the sprint!
Set intentions to flow effortlessly through the world! 📿🙏
Wonderful!
“You can be self-serving. You can be okay.”
I think it’s so important we learn, as a society, it’s okay to be self-serving.
It’s, simply, a matter of context.
Often times I wonder this, there are so many times when I hear people talk about or go through with quitting their job and I'm not sure whether it should always be the case
I agree. And that's something I cover in this video!
Hi Sorelle, I’ve been working in IT and Web design for years in a company with crappy work environment. It was really breaking me down, but Your videos always inspired me to start working on something on side to be more free when my ideas pick up. Started saving to leave my work on January and fully dive into my personal projects. Thank You for inspiration and waiting to see the course (joined up). 🙂
Thanks for sharing! And thank you so much for watching.
I quit my real job in 2018. I didn't have a plan at the time but needed a change due to workplace and personal stresses. I had a bit of rental income coming in and enough revenue from small side-jobs to keep me afloat - I did things like freelance computer service, copy/printing for a couple local businesses and used my truck/trailer for moving and small property maintenance jobs. I wasn't making much but felt better managing my own time instead of structuring my life around an employer's hours.
I was soon making enough income to live a basic comfortable life, while keeping lots of free time for myself to explore new hobbies and consider new career options. This year (2021) I started a small business doing property maintenance. Now I have a comfortable income from my own business and I am learning about investing and managing my money wisely
All I have to say is that THIS is the video that I need right now. In last couple of months, there is idea that is growing inside me and I want to bring it out, but I don't know how and how much time and resources I need to make my idea to be full time job. I don't want to leave my current job, but I want to start, beside my job, a new thing and see if I will make it in few years. I don't wanna bring myself to the point where I will be waiting for perfect opportunity and miss all of that. You explained everything that need to be explained and show people that they don't need to jump straight in something right away, it needs time to sort things out and with some kind of planning it should be fine. Your videos are not bombastic and clickbait. You are like, down to earth person which could we all meet in like, everyday situations and places, with experience behind you and to show us all that you went thru all of the problems and hard stuff so we can learn and see how to recognize them, how to react and how to fight problems because it's not easy road. Now, at start of my road, this is the video which gives me that little push that I really need to start something that I love, to seek out new opportunities, to find myself and to show myself that I can do it. And make it. Thank you!
Quitting my job today actually and I’ve been planning for 5 months!! 💗
PERFECT TIMING!
Just before I get caught in the hype - this is the video I've been waiting for! I'm trying to get a 4 day week at work so I have much less risk of pursuing something in my own time, not to mention the corporate world has literally given me depression on top of burnout (well, "bore-out" really) from it being so stifling and dream-crushing, so just want out in general.
Seems like you're on your way already. But VERY glad that this video is something you were needing!
I own my business. I left a decent job in a fit of pride, not wanting to be fired by a person I didn’t respect. I had no plan and I have a family to support. It’s incredibly scary and I’ve had to take a couple of part time jobs. I’ve had work stolen from me, I’ve sold my stuff to pay rent (last month). And, I fail constantly. Daily. I would not recommend this to anyone. However, as crazy as it seems I don’t know that I can ever surrender and go back to a 9 to 5. I might have to for a short time at some point to feed my family but I know now that it’s possible to work for myself so I’ll not be satisfied with anything less.
Seems you're at a crossroads my friend. But glad you have morals you're aiming to uphold. Best of luck to you... you got this.
I've been employed most of my life and started my own business first as a side gig, then full-time. I had to quit... it was hard, it kinda broke my heart. Now I'm back at being employed, cooking up my next escape plan, and you are helping me sooooo much!! Can't wait for the course to drop! This gonna be a hell of a ride!!
Agreeing so much! It’s worrying how many young people are quitting atm without any real backup.
Yes, it can be dangerous. I don't mind some people quitting, but you've gotta have a plan.
I quit the job many years ago. Yoga and meditation are far more relevant. You are very vibrant and energetic than most people. 👋👋👋🙏🤗
Employed, been planning my exit strategy since last year, and now months away from quitting!
EPIC! Best of luck with your change!
Working on building on my passion project. I am using my current job to be as close as possible financially free, and be ready to launch.
The combination of your smile and personality is infectious
I’m just so thankful for finding this channel… Thank you Sorelle
There are a few things I wish I would’ve prepared for before taking the plunge but this is super helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Really refreshing to hear somebody know something about Poland.
I'm so impatient. I would like to quit today to have time to get into other ventures.
And regarding pension funds. Unfortunately it is mandatory to transfer money into them reagrdless if you are an entreprenuour or employee. Employees actually get salary already less en by tax and pension funds
So glad i found your channel.
As i sit here on my first break 1:30 in the morning doing maintenance shift work to get ahead, i have to agree sometimes you just need to sprint to get it done.
I cant wait to pay off my past mistake’s and build a solid foundation for the future.
Working on a rough 3-5 year plan has helped my mindset to really channel what my priorities are.
Oh girl it was helpful as always!!! Keep going! We need you !
You are the most truthful vlogger of all 😇👍🏻🏆✅
Yay Sorelle! I always click immediately when I see you post a new video! Looking forward to watching this! :D
Greetings from the Netherlands! 🌍
Yay! Thank you!
Literally following all of these steps already. Thank you for reflecting back to me the path I'm already on!🦋
Wonderful! Amazing... so glad to hear that.
Ahh love ❤️
Quit my last (part time job) that was contract and time binding back in 2019.
I was 19 and going to uni so It was a leap of faith with just enough to pay for tuition and quit because I thought my online course would become a big hit 🥲 it never sold LOL
but taught me a lot and thankful my parents have accommodated me with shelter and food.
Now three years later I am SO excited to be able to creatively serve people
You are an inspiration to me Sorelle 🤗
Wow, thank you!
Thank you for this realistic advice 🙏🏼 it’s not easy to just quit working without a proper cash flow from your business. 💕
Very much agreed. Thanks for watching!
I have a business and full time job. My goal is to get myself set up so that once I leave this 9-5, I never have to come back.
Great plan!
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Tuesdays and Thursdays Sorelle because I know you will be dropping all them gems. Thank you for all you and Leon do. Greetings from 🇰🇪 Kenya, Africa 😏
Greetings from Iceland! Also, I've never been to Kenya, though I've heard it's one of the most beautiful places in Africa!
@@Abundantiaco 😄😄😄
You responded?!?!?!
Wow! How awesome you really are 😁
Kenya actually is definitely in the top 10 of most beautiful countries in Africa. Mainly because of our mountains, beaches, and the wild animals. Glad to hear you have been here Sorelle. I know you have been to Tanzania.
Were you fortunate to see the Great Migration while in Kenya and Tanzania?
@@Abundantiaco sorry. I misread. Got too excited hahaha. Next time you get a chance to be in Africa, Come see the Great Migration. It is lovely
Hey, I am a freelance photographer/graphic designer who signed a 1-year 9-5 contract a few months ago. I kept thinking that I need a "proper" job, although my freelance earnings were at a decent level. I just realised what I am doing - I am now into a 1-year sprint, as I do both - my full-time job and my freelance and getting a double income. Yes, I wake up at 6am and work during weekends, but I am looking forward to the end of my contract: I will get out of it with new skills, savings and a strong motivation to push my business to a new level to have more freedom and free time. Looking forward to the start of the course in a week!
I was doing the hustle hard method for a long time and after experiencing massive burnout (Nov 2020 - Feb 2021) and becoming so unwell that i couldn't attend my full-time work or work on my part-time business i knew i had to make some changes. In March 2021 i left my full-time job and switched to part-time hours, i sold almost everything i had and moved into a self-contained van to minimise my largest expense, rent. I now work part-time for an amazing local charity with a lot of flexibility to manage my own time and can work digitally for the most part allowing me the freedom to build my own business while still making sure i have some steady income to live off.
Really enjoying this channel to be reassured that i am not alone in my desire for freedom and autonomy. Thank you for sharing your tips Sorelle ✌🏽
Love how this entire video flows ❤️ Great content Sorelle!
Thank you so much! And thanks for watching.
Good one Sorelle. Zero funds in this world certainly has a lot of resistance. It functions as a trap owing to our alienation from Nature. Wildcraft is one way out. To learn to live without money is a great skill. The social contract supporting money is ephemeral. One twist in the code and we're all broke, unless land metal and Wildcraft are in place and solid. All the same, I have desires, work to accomplish before I'm done. I value your wisdom in navigating the unreal money made real by our belief in it, plus all the authoritarian clamps that blind us to our bodies, communties, and our world. The machine is so violent cause it's out of touch with heart and belly sense, has no Wildcraft. It's based on the belief that humans are separate from Nature. Yeah, right.
We ARE nature.
Best comment
Thanks for this. I've started thinking/acting along some of the points you've mentioned some time ago and hopefully I'll be able to integrate in my life a couple of others you've mentioned. It's reassuring to hear from someone who has walked the walk that it can be done.
Glad to hear you're already on that path.
As a student I'm thinking if I could start from zero without needing to work on a "regular job" first. A lot of self-reflection to do.
Thank you for encouraging us!
You definitely can if you're dedicated. Though I just want most people to know there's a lot of risk involved (or can be).
i think it's better to have your CV full of some job experiences in case your plan fails! then you can go back to a regular job for a while and try again :)
It is working for me because my business is in the exact same field as what i studied. Despite having a degree, if a year or two pass without you practising that exact degree, noone wants to hire you.
The color scheme in this video is 👌👌👌
The content is 👌👌👌
Sorelle is 👌👌👌👌
Haha, thank you!
I quit my job at the beginning of the year to focus on my trading business and nothing went to plan! It's been a challenging year and I've had to live off of my assets, I'm quite lucky to have had a supportive partner and free rent though. I've learnt so much and as hard as it has been I still prefer it over having a job but that stress of paying bills and basics definitely can be debilitating and I've ended up with gut issues from the stress. It definitely does affect your creativity and makes you feel a sense of urgency in achieving your goals which can lead to reckless decisions at times. Anyone considering it should definitely make sure they have enough money coming in to at least cover their basic necessities without any issues.
I am a full time mom (in Czech Republic we have maternity benefit for 4 years) and I am slowly starting to build my photography/social media management side business and also have a TH-cam Channel where I post vlogs every week. I shoot for having this as a part time job by the time my daughter starts pre-school and then I will do my best to make it my full time business.
I'd love to start investing in properties once I save up some coins too.
Thank you for this channel and your videos because they're making me "JUST DO IT" 😍
the nuts and bolts are so necessary to figure out! i kinda wish i did this before I left my corporate but after a bit of time (with lots of anxiety and fear lol), i figured it out with freelancing while traveling. These are awesome tips and so empowering Sorelle- thank you!
Thank you for watching!
I’m a business owner but also work full time and can never seem to take the leap out of my high paying job for my own business
Employed and recently feel down a rabbit hole of self improvement and personal finance. Working on building my savings and investment and trying to shift my mindset.
I've always been told that I needed to have a credit card/build my credit score in order to be able to travel, rent cars or accommodation, buy a house, etc... so you're saying there's a way where I don't need one?? I'm highly curious about this and would LOVE to see a video about it! also, for some extra details, I have the same goals that you did, become a digital nomad, work full-time on youtube/social media, and become as free as possible.
In most countries, just paying your power/water/phone bill on time is enough to build a credit score.
I’m a business owner, part time employed. My strategy before watching this has been to build up my business and drop days at my employed job as I go. Especially during these crazy times, I don’t want to cut myself off too quickly.
I can't waiittttttt for the course ! Bought the pre-sale on July the 2nd
Amazing!
I own a business and I was someone who felt the time was right, but also that I could make enough money. I quit my job to pursue my 3D printing dream. What I found quickly is that these bills don't care about my dreams lol I still plan to work on my business, but I want to do it smarter next time. Like you mentioned I want to have the security until my business is making enough consistently because not having that money made me desperate, which killed all my drive to create.
I don't want to focus on your looks, regardless of them your content and advice is amazing. BUT your hair game is always amazing. Love the new look!
I CAN’T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR THIS VIDEO?????
I quit my full time job this March because I really wanted to focus on my passion project and I do feel the same way as the people who watch your videos, we want to work for ourselves and not for other people.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED! I relate so much to number 2! THAT NO INCOME IS SO SO SO CRIPPLING!
I was struggling a lot and I don’t really want to blame myself for quitting my job without a backup plan because I DID it already and it’s not gonna change anything, but I DO agree with you Sorelle, that it is indeed the STUPIDEST thing 😂😂😂
So, just this month. I applied for another job AGAIN and thankfully, I got it! And this video REALLY HELPED a lot and gave me ideas now on how to work on my business RATIONALLY 😂
I admire you so much. Thanks Sorelle!
Biz owner in process - not quitted my job yet but can't wait!
I hate my job and the rotating shifts, so yeah, I've been considering quitting it for quite a while. I am actually tired of feeling miserable just to pay the bills. But I also have to be realistic. Considering my stuttering and my hearing incapacity (80%), I'm certain it'll be even harder than normal to be self-employed. My dream and my goal is to become a writer, to write inspiring and motivational stories and poetry with a twist...
That being said, it's always good to watch your videos and to learn from you. You're an inspiration and a motivation to many.
Wish you all the best!
Planning to. Tired of working excess hours and not having the life that I've aways wanted. But your channel is motivating me to work even harder because there were times I thought that there's something wrong with me. Because I've always kept saying: "hey! let's try this!" And everybody said: "No, you cannot do that, everybody knows that it's too hard." Now with my husband when we lost our first business because of the pandemics (bad planing, we did't have enough spare cash to survive an event like that) and we are recovering from lot of debts, we are actively thinking and planning what to do next, what to invest into and thinking about our future. And you keep showing that we're not freaks... Thanks.
Hey
You got this! And thank you so much for your kind words!
I am now working hard on my own businesses and together with my husband we plan to retire within 2 years ( we would’ve wanted it to be yesterday). Our passion now is to live a life of freedom. Finally working on our dreams. Thank you for inspiring me with your videos.
I have a side hustle and have been wanting to quit my day job for months. Pleased I haven’t because I’ve had so many delays and set backs due to Covid that I would have given up by now. Still playing the game of working during the day while planning my next move. Your videos are keeping me motivated until I can have total control of my own life. Thank you.
So funny this video came out the week I quit my job. Thanks for this and let's get this working ;)
Sorelle you're always refreshing and enlightening. Never just quit your job. Make sure to have another job to start with and then hand in your resignation. Never never bad mouth the bad job or its employees. Trust me it will be known to haunt you. I love the story of two Aussie neighbours who got together to launch AFTERPAY. Two creative heads are better than one.
It was Marco Pierre White that snapped me back to reality when he said "well most of us don't have that luxury" I think he was responding to a cook that didn't work for a year because wanted to "find his passion" or something. Look for the circumstances you want, don't look for an "escape."
Everyone should find out at the same time when they see it on the news!
i just quit my job, already have my own business as personal trainer on top of my roof but kept my back-up income working for a Hotel. decided to go fully independent from November and just opened my 2nd company being an artist, scary as Fck but believe now is the time and just only want to do things that are in line with me, life is too precious not to. So lets go!! love to see so many people(including you) living there innerfire
Oh yes I have heard of this so many times and have definitely thought about it! I would love to fully work for myself one day and be happy with what I am doing with my time. I totally agree with you theres so many things to consider before jumping ship. Its so amazing to hear your story! Thank you so much!
Thinking about the transition since 3 years already and always chickening :D
This cut and color looking so cute! 😍
I am a full time mum at the moment and have worked in corporate before as software engineer for 9 years but now want to start business as i do want to spend time with kids and not work full time job
Great reason to want to escape the system!
I am a business owner. Before I was a consultant but I burned out to the point I couldn’t talk or get up from bed or take a walk or even eat normally. I knew it was about to happen so I saved up during the whole time I worked. I’ve lived on that saving buffer for two years and now I’m slowly building an income from my passion. But I cannot work normal hours and probably never should if I want to keep being able to eat and walk. That’s why I want to find ways to work on my passion and selling in a way that I can choose my hours and not work 8 hour days. I know it means I won’t make as much or can fully sprint but it’s the only way for me. That’s why knowing finances and how to sell is so important to me. Thanks Sorelle!
Thank you Sorelle, for sharing your experiences, it really makes me feel like what I want is possible, and now I have a guideline to follow on my future journey of working for myself.
Awesome, wise and realistic points, as always! TY🤗
Thank you for watching!
Love this video! I'm a business owner and have a job. I'm waiting till I do all those step to drop my job.
Currently no work life balance, all work for another 6 months.
So good they can't ignore - Cal Newport. Is a book related to this video that everyone should have a look at before making this kind of decisions.. Love the content Sorelle!
I only have a few days left at my job... I'm excited for a new chapter of working for myself!
I really like your content you talk from such an honest place
Thank you! Such an important video 🤗 I loved the income breakdown! I am still not ready to quit my job, but I am getting there slowly ^^
You got this! And thanks so much for watching.
I’m planning to quit my day job after I sell a few more downloads of my automated trading app. Then I’ll have time to develop version 2!!!
I am so close to quitting the day job! My girl and I sell online and do very well. She quit a year ago and I'm almost there. We're ready for me to make the leap!! Oh yeah, I'll be 49 in March. It's never too late to make it happen.
Completely agree with you 👍🏽 very practical and great advice! we completely quit our jobs and haven’t looked back since
