I already quit to my 8-5 job, sometimes I feel so happy and free but sometimes I am so frustrated because I feel like everyone around me think I´m lazy and I don´t like to work and always say stuff like I´m too young to be tired, as if young people cannot feel exhausted. They don´t understand that I didn´t quit because I don´t like to work, I quit because I hated that job, I hated the people In that job, I just hated everyhing, I was getting sick. All my body was suffering and now that I quit my body feels so good, so healthy.

I hate 9-5 corporate bs. I will be pulling the plug soon - I've been planning for years.

So done with 9-5 but still stuck! Depressed! Your videos are helping every day.

I quit my 6 1/2 year job at a casino, a few hours ago. No plan. I feel calm now but will probably panic tomorrow

Seven weeks ago I resigned from my 26 year career in banking! I didn’t want to do it anymore. Too much crap to deal with day in and day out. So resigning cut our household income in half. I’ve been job searching but mostly trying to figure out what I would enjoy doing! I have appreciated your timely wisdom!!

You don’t need a 9-to-5 when you’ve got Girl Boss Hustle: Earn 10k from Home. It’s time to start thriving, not just surviving.

I needed to see and hear this.
I can say that I have been on this treadmill for a long time, going nowhere in life making the people I work for rich while I struggle financially. I appreciate the video we all need a kick in the ass from people other than our friends and family. Time for change.

Gabe, this is by far your best video: non-pushy, genuine, authentic. Chapeau!

At 76 I still work 2 1/2 months of the year doing taxes, I’ve worked from myself since the late 90s because I can’t stand to work for other people. But now I just do taxes and have my other retirement income.

. I left a career of 18 years, sold my house, changed everything AND I'M SO MUCH HAPPIER!!!!

This is motivation. My wife and I recently had our fourth kid so I got to spend some extended time at home and it was an eye of not wanting to go back to that 9-5. I am back to it because I have a family to provide but the mental has shifted and I think that's the start.

Great story, 9-5 is definitely a grind. Working and investing hyper aggressively to buy my freedom.

Your channel is one of a handful that really inspired me to take the steps & make the effort to start building to break away from the ‘normal’ life setup. I’m so sick of it.

Started making moves 2-3 months ago, now I’m almost at 500 subs on youtube (a different channel), getting my design skills up to start getting freelance work in the next 3-6 months, and will be buying a property to rent out early next year as I’ve got things in place to do that now. Thanks again man - your journey & progress really showed me it’s possible & that you don’t have to accept a regular lifestyle.

Way to go Gabe! Always good when the world rewards someone financially that is actually genuine and not a fake and a sellout. I’m thankful the internet has rewritten the playbook on how people gather and monetize attention.

Gabe, your old work life was Soul crushing, your new work life is Soulful. Enjoy the happier ride Sir. Rich

[natashatheresa]

I’ve been enjoying your endings lately lol! But I agree. We are all meant for so much more, , , but taking that leap is scary and uncomfortable and we have to want it enough and know that it IS possible! Thank you for being so real and raw here!

[EVERYDAYJOSEE]
