- The alarm goes off
on your phone, (alarm beeping)
time to get up, shower,
grab a bagel and coffee for the road,
and drive to work.
Then spend eight hours with a bunch of gossipers,
then make your way back home in heavy traffic,
sleep,
and repeat.
(suspenseful music)
- It feels like the cycle never stops.
Every day rolls by
and you cannot wait for the weekend
so you can stop thinking about your work.
You literally live for the weekends.
You know you don't want the job anymore,
but you are stuck.
Whether you wanna quit your job to travel more,
to try something new,
or if you're just bored or unhappy
with what you're doing,
you want out,
but you just don't know how,
how to quit your stable and secure job
for the life of hustling.
And can you even make enough to pay your bills
and look out for your family?
Let me show you the easiest way
to escape your nine-to-five life
from scratch with no bullshit,
and a step-by-step guide
which helped me escape the rat race one year ago.
Exactly one year ago,
I decided to leave my job to become my own boss.
Today, I make five times more
in a month working for myself
than I did spending one year working for someone else.
If you're watching my face
for the first ever time,
my name is Jatin
and I am a 22-year-old creatopreneur
who loves making videos about money, mindset,
and everything around that.
So if you're interested in those topics,
then make sure you hit that subscribe button
and turn the bell on
so every time I upload,
you get notified.
So here are five steps
which goes into escaping the nine to five
and becoming your own boss
or an entrepreneur
to live your dream life.
Step number one is setting a goal.
Setting a goal will basically help you stay motivated
to continue working towards your goal.
I mean, let's say Cristiano Ronaldo, for example,
if he didn't have the goal
of becoming the most successful
or the best footballer in the world,
he wouldn't be having the motivation every day
to wake up and get up to train
just to stay fit even at the age of 37.
And when you're working towards something,
it's easy to get discouraged
because you feel like you are not making any progress
at all.
However, if you have set a goal
in the first place,
you are able to measure it
and see how much you are progressing.
And trust me, it is the most rewardful feeling
when you know you're progressing,
even if that is just a little bit.
Now, the best way to set your goals
is by using the SMART model,
which you can see here.
It stands for each of these things.
I'll give you an example goal,
which will cover all these five things.
So here's an example goal.
I'm gonna make one million pounds from Amazon
by the end of this year.
Now, you can see this goal is specific.
This goal is measurable
because I can see how much money I will keep making
throughout the year.
It is achievable because I know I believe in myself.
It is realistic
because I have already made over six figures in Amazon,
which means I know I will achieve it
by the end of the year,
seven figures.
And the last one is time-bounded.
I have set a time limit,
which is by the end of this year,
I will achieve this goal.
Now, once you have set your goals,
let's move on to the next step,
which is planning.
(light music)
Now, we said that a goal without a plan
is just a wish.
Now, it's easy to say,
"I wanna make one million pounds by the end of 2022,"
but if you don't break it down into smaller action plans,
then it can be very overwhelming
to see that you wanna achieve a million.
The best way to complete a bigger goal
is by breaking it down into smaller goals
and accomplishing them,
and eventually you will fulfill your main goal.
Now, once you have a goal
of making a certain amount to quit your job,
you need to find or research into
what is that something which you wanna start
where you can make that money from.
Now, most people will say,
"Jat, I don't know what my passion is.
I don't know what I enjoy doing."
Now, here's what I recommend you do,
take a piece of paper
and write down all the things you wanna try,
the things which make you so excited
when you hear or look at other people doing.
And then once you will list a few things,
choose one of the things
which has brought you so much excitement
as soon as you read it
or you see someone else doing it.
Start with that.
Three months later,
if you feel like you are not making any progress
and you are not enjoying this,
then you can try out something else
from the same piece of paper.
The thing which I'm trying to imply
is that you will not know what you enjoy
until you actually start doing something.
So, go take some actions,
go start doing something,
and then you will figure out what's your passion.
Now, once you've become an entrepreneur,
you have to do your taxes
and finding the right accountant is crucial
because it will help you make the right decisions
for your business.
I use Osome who specializes in e-commerce accounting.
They're a very simple and easy-to-use online platform
where I can submit all my invoices for bookkeeping
and also talk to my accountant via the platform.
They have a team of experts
who know what they're doing
so you don't need to worry about anything.
You can use the link in the description
to get 110 pounds off
when signing up with them,
or you can register your limited company with them
for one pound
and get two months worth of free accounting.
Anyway, now back to the video.
Starting it as a side hustle.
Now, you can't quit your job
and start working on a business or a side hustle,
which will make you enough money,
so you can quit your job.
And it is the dumbest thing to quit your job,
in order to work for something you're passionate about
because I have done this,
and I will be honest,
I was broke
and I had to take a 4,000 pound loan from a bank
in order to pay my bills.
So the best way you can become successful
or quit your job successfully while having money
is by making sure you have some type of cash flow,
and that could be from your job.
So along with your job,
you need to start your passion project
as a side hustle,
and this will allow you to grow it
while you can fund that side hustle from your job.
And that's the best advice I can give you
because you don't want to do something which I done.
And if you were sitting there thinking,
"Oh, Jat, I don't have time to do this."
Look, the way I done it was,
I spent my nine to six o'clock working
at my nine-to-five job,
because nine-to-five work,
then I travel back home for one hour.
Then I start working from six o'clock 'til 10 o'clock
on my side hustles.
This is exactly how I built this YouTube channel,
this is exactly how I built my TikTok.
My entire content world I created
was between that 6:00 to 10:00 time.
Now, don't get me wrong,
it is gonna be a time
where you are not gonna have anyone
who's gonna be backing you up.
You are not gonna have anyone motivating you.
It's probably gonna be the hardest thing you will do,
but once you have that initial boost,
it just keeps going.
And look at me,
one year later,
having fun, working for myself.
Oh, well, it's not fun.
Next video, I'm gonna make the untold truth
about entrepreneurship.
(light music)
Step four is to start saving some money.
Now, savings will be a very important part
in your journey of escaping the rat race,
because remember, once you quit your job,
there is no one who's gonna pay you every single month.
You yourself are the only person
who will pay yourself.
So you need to make sure you have some type of savings
before you actually quit your job,
just in case an emergency arises,
or you need more funds for your side hustle
or your business itself.
So, start saving.
And if you are saying,
"Jat, I don't make enough to save,"
hear me out,
quit your Netflix subscription
or cancel your Prime subscription,
whatever subscriptions you have,
just cancel it for a few months,
save that amount,
and then you can always come back to them in the future.
And there are various things
which you can cut out just to save money,
such as your takeaways
and other many stuff which you might have,
which is spending money on clothes
and this and that.
Just wear what you have for now.
I would recommend you have
at least three months worth of expenses,
which can cover you
if you literally make no money
in three months time.
So this way, you know you are safe,
and if you run out of money fully,
you can always go back to your job
or start looking for a job
after the three months.
(dramatic upbeat music)
And the fifth and final step
is to make that jump,
just go for it.
And what I mean by that is
there will be never a right time
to quit your job.
You will never feel like,
"All right, finally is the time I should quit my job
and now fully go onto my full-time business."
Because since an early age,
we all are programmed to think
that you go to school,
then you go to college,
then you go to union,
get a good job,
but you are never said that you need to start a business,
which is the reason why it feels really uncomfortable
and it's outside your comfort zone to do this.
So, simply break out of this mentality
and just take that jump.
Now, once you have made that jump and quit your job,
you will always need to remember this thing about self-talk.
Always have positive self-talk,
even when you are making no money,
even when you're going through the toughest time,
because remember,
what you speak is what you're manifesting in existence.
So if you're gonna speak negative about yourself
or even money,
that I'm not making any money,
you will not make any money.
But if you just have a positive self-talk about you,
about abundance,
you will make enough money to keep surviving
and money will flow into your life from nowhere.
You won't even know where it will come from,
but it will come on time.
Now, I want you to do an exercise,
go in the comment section
and write your SMART goal.
The reason why I'm saying
that you need to write in the comment section
is so you can be accountable
with all the other people who are commenting there,
and 'cause you have put it out there,
you can't back out.
So these are the five steps which I took
to become my own boss and quit my job.
Now, listening to these five steps is a lot easier
compared to actually doing it.
So go there, put in the work,
and you will see results.
I will be always posting helpful videos
which can help you start a side hustle.
And if you are looking to start a side hustle
but you don't know what to start,
then you might wanna watch this video
where I've mentioned three legit ways
to make money online, I think,
or just legit ways to make money.

So have an amazing day,
take care, and peace.
