You don't like your job. I get it.
And that could be because you don't really like what you do.
Or maybe you resent your boss.
Or it could be because you hate the toxic environment
or because you don't really fit in
and you feel like you don't belong there.
Or it could be because you don't like being told what to do.
Or maybe because you're now scared.
Because you realize that what you're doing is not really
what you would like to be doing.
Well, if you said yes to any of the above, then this video is perfect for you,
and I encourage you to watch till the end because in this video
I'm going to share with you exactly all you need to know.
So that you can quit your job
the right way with no risk and no impact on your lifestyle.
The truth is you have options.
You have options that you can tap into today.
By the end of this video, you will know exactly what your options are.
And I'll give you my personal recommendation
so that you can take the right steps moving forward.
Hey, welcome are welcome back to the channel.
My name is Laura, and when I was 26, I quit my high paying corporate job
because I wanted to follow my personal dream of starting a business.
I didn't have a Plan B, and that
taught me lots of lessons to say the least.
And for the past 18 years, I have been taking and quitting
tons of jobs, as well as hiring and letting go of a lot of people.
So let's just say I've seen it from all angles.
So in this video, I would like to share with you all my learnings
so that you don't make the same mistakes and you know exactly all you need to do.
Have you ever thought about your job and felt.
Enough is enough.
Let's take a look
at what people usually do when they reach this point of feeling Enough is enough.
I've seen most of the time one of three scenarios.
First of all, many people decide and end up
quitting their job in hopes of finding a better job.
They believe that it cannot get any worse.
So they decide to leave a job, oftentimes without a Plan
B hoping that they can find something that they enjoy more.
There are often two cases.
Sometimes some of these people realize
that they actually don't know what they want to be doing,
and they don't really know how that better job actually looks like.
The others believe they know and they end up
applying to everything the old job they can find
in hopes that they'll find one that will make them happy.
But when they don't find that one,
then they start panicking and regretting having quit their job.
And if they're quitting for the first time, then
the longer it takes to find the next job,
the more they become resentful
and the more they truly regret having quit,
and the more they feel like a failure.
The second category that I usually see is that people decide to quit their job
because they want to start a business and work for themselves.
And that is fantastic.
Except it takes time to make a business take off.
Usually it takes months, if not years.
To get it off the ground to the point where you can have
a sustainable business that gives you a sustainable income.
The other challenge is that many businesses fail.
In fact, 20% of businesses in the U.S.
fail in the first 12 months, and 50% of them don't make it until year five.
So basically, you have one chance in two to make your business a success.
And then the third category are people who don't afford to quit
because they fear not having enough money.
I do understand that.
But also they remind you that you only have one life.
You need to use it to make yourself better, not better.
At the end of the day, you are the only one responsible
for what you do with your life, with your career.
And the truth is that you staying in your job will not make it better.
And in fact, most of the time when people stay in a job they resent,
it ends up really ruining
their life.
And their career.
So at the end of the day, it's up to you.
But my question to you is, what's your exit plan?
And more importantly, what's your plan after you decide to quit your job?
Listen, there are usually two schools of thought
when it comes to quitting your job the right way.
On the one hand,
people think that you should quit your job cold turkey and burn all your boats.
I understand that when you burn the boats and have no backup plan, you become more
resourceful People get motivated by the fact that there is no way back.
And I've seen that happen.
And we've seen in media or on social media
these cases and success stories of people
who left their job completely cold turkey
and they managed to become successful CEOs
of their own business, and they made millions of dollars.
I get it. That can happen most of the time.
That is not the case because I've seen
many examples of people who quit their job
and have this huge energy
and motivation in the first few days or weeks or months.
And when they cannot find something else or they find challenges
in starting their business that motivation dulls down.
And what's more important is that the money goes lower and lower as well.
And if you don't have a backup plan, that can really backfire,
especially if you have family and obligations
and you need to provide for your kids and your family and your spouse.
That is truly a problem that you cannot allow to happen.
What needs to happen is that you need these four S's in order for you
to be able to quit your job cold turkey and have no impact on your lifestyle.
Number one, you need financial security.
You need to have a retirement plan.
Or you need to have the right passive income streams
that will allow you to fund your lifestyle so that you don't face
any risk and any stress while you build your next step.
And if you want me to talk more about how you reach that financial security,
let me know.
And I'm more than happy to do that.
Number two, you need the right skills.
Will the skills you have allow you to get your next job,
or will they allow you to be a successful enterprise?
Nor the more. Three.
You need the right systems.
What are the habits, the things you do every day and will they empower you
to be successful, whatever next step you've chosen for yourself.
And the number four, you need the right state.
That is your mindset. Do you have limiting beliefs?
Do you have things that hold you back, or do you have a success vision?
Do you have the right state and the right mindset
to allow you to be successful unless you have these four S's?
My recommendation is that you don't quit your job cold turkey
because you will end up in a difficult situation.
Now, other people believe that it's better
to have a Plan B before you quit your job
and that you find another job or that you start your business
as a side hustle before you quit your job, and that you do that in parallel.
And that is by far my preferred option.
And here's why.
Number one, oftentimes when you quit your job cold turkey
and you don't have the four S's that I talked about just before,
people end up getting a Part-Time job, which is usually below their standards
so that they can afford their lifestyle
and they can afford continuing to provide for their families.
And my question is, why not keep your job
in the first place and use that as your safety net?
Number two, usually
you need a source of income to invest
either in your personal growth or in that of your business.
And when you have a job that can become an asset, it can become
something
that gives you options and that gives you resources.
Someone with a job can invest in courses, in books.
They can invest in things that help them grow.
Sometimes somebody without a job.
My recommendation is that you think twice
before you quit your job and figure out if you have the right plan in place.
Now, of course, if you are totally unhappy and frustrated and burnt out,
and if you've reached a point where staying in your job
is riskier to your own physical and mental health,
then by all means it's probably time for you to quit.
But I just want you to realize that quitting
without a Plan B and oftentimes
struggling to find something new can be just as stressful.
I think it's important for you to understand
what options you have before you choose what your next step is going to be.
If you need help in figuring out what your dream job or dream career
could look like, then I invite you to consider my course where we talk
about what job is right for you and how you can do what you love.
Either as a job or as a business, and do that in a profitable way.

and I hope you found some inspiration and some guidance
in case you are somebody who's reached that point of enough is enough
and in case you have been considering quitting your job, I hope it helped you.

then I suggest you go ahead and watch this video
