six years ago i was working a nine-to-five job a job that was
paying me 50 000 pounds a year but for 23 year old jordan that just wasn't enough
i didn't just want to earn more money but i wanted to find a deeper purpose and more fulfillment in
my day-to-day work life so one day i decided that the best way for me to do this would be through
starting my own business now i knew this wasn't going to be simple especially considering eight
hours of my day was spent working in my nine to five job how was i gonna build a successful
business when i was spending the majority of my days working for somebody else and their company
now the key here isn't a secret but it's something that most people do not have a solid grasp of and
that's discipline now that may sound really simple but to be honest with you it really isn't because
if it was everybody would be rich and everyone out there would be hyper successful only the
one percent truly master discipline and in today's video i'm going to run you through how i went from
working a full-time job to owning my own business and earning over 10 000 a month just a few months
after starting it and why you should listen to me is because i have that discipline i've been
resilient and consistent over the years and i've now scaled that very same business to over 100 000
a month in profit no matter what your situation right now you can use the tips they'll go through
in this video to work towards quitting your job and starting a company of your own so let's get
into it first of all let's talk about whether or not you should even be thinking about starting
a company because i think a lot of people out there like the idea of having their own business
but aren't actually in the right emotional state to work for themselves the media and especially
social media glamorizes being an entrepreneur and owning your own company having that time or
financial freedom whatever it is that you've been sold on but not many of us are actually in the
position of our lives to actually be successful as a business owner it takes a lot of self motivation
discipline and determination for you to be successful and you need a strong why and in
many cases the most successful business owners are pushed into a corner before they quit their
job and start out for themselves so i want you to ask yourself the question why do i want to start
my own company why do i want to quit my job for me i was always very financially motivated that's
why i jumped into a career in sales and i worked my way up that career ladder i started earning
really decent money in my young 20s but i realized very early on that money wasn't going to fulfill
me because once i had it i still didn't have freedom over my time i was still taking one or two
holidays a year that were over before they even started and even though i had a surplus of cash
i didn't have the time to actually enjoy it and i remember a pivotal day in the office in one of
my jobs and i looked around and everyone around me and everyone was like double my age and i remember
this surge of emotion as i looked around and this group of people were talking about what they were
going to do at the weekend and i realized that i would be no better than them if i continue
along this career path and i don't work for myself that i would live a life vastly unfilled monday to
friday just living for the weekend and that is not how life is supposed to be lived certainly from my
perspective that would not allow me to live a fulfilled life that is not to say that any of
you watching this that in a career are going to be unfilled for me personally i just know that does
not suit my character and does not suit my desires what i want out of my life and you need to have
that realization yourself you need to have that pivotal moment where you are backed in a corner
and you realize that owning your own business is the only route now if you're watching this right
now and you're thinking to yourself jordan i am ready i do want to do this then the first thing
you need to do is pick a business model that you are going to work on now that's not the purpose
of this video so i'd recommend you clicking the link in the description or around here and you can
watch my best online business models video that i've recently put out a couple of weeks ago but
for me i researched models that would best suit my character and i stumbled across something called
social media marketing which is simply a digital marketing agency it's me approaching business
owners and providing services to those business owners and helping them to increase their revenue
on a monthly basis i knew that that business model would best suit me because i've been in
a sales based industry i was a social person and i would feel fulfilled from helping other businesses
increase their sales and increase their success as well but for you it might be something else
entirely so i'd recommend you watching that video and really figuring out the best business
model for you to start now after you've got that locked down the next part is not going to be easy
because you're going to have to make a lot of sacrifices in your life because if you've been
used to working a 9 or 5 even just for a year or 10 years or 20 years for some of you watching this
you have conditioned your life and adapted your life around that job and so when you get home
you probably have plans or you chill out on the sofa and watch tv because that's your downtime
and that's great when you're working a full-time job and you don't have any other commitments but
if you want to start a business you're going to have to make big sacrifices when it comes to your
personal life because you're going to have to find hours out of your day every day to be able to put
into the business and so what i'd recommend you doing and this is what i did is i did an analysis
of my life i looked at the biggest areas of leverage that i have what were the times of
the day that i wasn't really maximizing on right now then it wouldn't really matter if i eliminated
personal life duties or downtime so i knew for me that i was on those people that did wake up
pretty late right i jumped straight in the shower and i went to work every single morning i woke
up at like eight a.m to get to work for nine and i enjoyed that but i knew that the mornings were
a great point for me to gain leverage and so i started waking up at 7 00 am to start off with
and i started reading books and looking into the business model i started watching youtube videos
i started educating myself every single morning and the first book that i read bear in mind guys
i was not a reader this is the first book i read since school right but i said to myself do your
new lease of life you want to educate yourself read a book but i bought a book called the miracle
morning by hal elrod because i knew i wanted to wake up earlier so i wanted to learn how i could
do that the miracle morning taught me how to wake up gradually earlier every single day until i was
waking up at 5 00 am and within a week of reading that book i was waking up at 5 00 a.m every single
day and i had a bulletproof morning routine i would recommend you reading the book learning
about savers which is the routine and implementing it in your life because i would put an awful lot
of my initial success down to those mornings because i would wake up at five i would scribe
and i would write and i would practice a lot of manifestation and i would work on educating myself
throughout those mornings i worked almost every spare hour that i had in those first two weeks
and i quit my job 14 days after making the active decision to start my own company i signed up two
clients which replaced my essential outgoings and i quit my job and that's the final thing i want to
touch on today is when you should actually quit your job because i hate to see people out there
who do this prematurely who get excited they're like filling themselves with that self-confidence
which is great but then they quit their job before they've actually had any proof of concept
you need proof of concept and you need to know that this business model is right for you and
it's going to work and so in doing that what i would recommend you doing is creating a list
of all of your outgoings on a monthly basis in fact print off your last three months bank
statements and all of your outgoings make a note of them how much money are you spending on food
how much is your rent how much are your bills how much you spending on clothes and fashion and
unnecessary things and then eliminate everything which is unnecessary eliminate everything
which is not essential to your day-to-day living of life and then after doing that
you're going to have your essential outgoings figure that is the figure that you need to replace
before you even think about quitting your job but again you're gonna have to make sacrifices
you need to eliminate unnecessary expenses now the common denominator across everything here is that
starting a business on the side of your job isn't easy and it will take an awful lot of
planning and strategy and you will need to make sacrifices in your life but if you are determined
enough and resilient enough to do this you can literally hand craft the lifestyle that you've
always dreamed of living through owning your own business and that sounds cheesy but it is true
i am the maker of my life i control everything within my life now and my nine till five
monday to friday is no longer dictated by somebody else i live life on my own terms and i want you to
be able to do the same but just know that it's gonna take a lot of work but if you're watching
this video right now that is testament to the fact that you are the kind of person
that can achieve this and will achieve this so do it make a plan eliminate sacrifice be resilient
cool that's it for me guys i'll see you all soon cheers
