I Quit My Banking Job After Learning 5 Things!

I quit my banking job. It was a super difficult decision to make, but one that I think i’ll look back on in many years to come and it’ll be the best decision I ever made. Unlike many, I actually enjoyed my job, I didn’t quit out of a dislike for my job or because the people i worked with made life difficult, and instead an inner motivation of continuing to empower people to make better financial decisions and invest for their futures was the driving force behind that decision. Of course i’d built up the right level of savings, investments and income outside of work to justify this decision, but it was a decision I’ve been preparing for for many years. Today I’m going to share my some of my learnings that led to this decision, I hope you find it useful. And thanks again to Trading 212 for sponsoring this video.

I can’t express my level of gratitude towards everyone who has supported the channel in the past 4 years which has enabled me to make this leap. Thank you guys, I hope this is just the start of something great!

Given the ongoing global economic challenges, it's crucial for everyone to diversify their income sources, especially those not dependent on government support. Now is an ideal time to explore investments in assets like gold, silver, and digital currencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP. Thanks to Loraine Souvenir for her outstanding proficiency and guidance in these fields.

I think investors should always put their cash to work, especially In 2024, we'll start to see more market diversification. I'm hoping to invest about $350k of my savings in stocks against next year. Hope to make millions in 2024., ..

If you wanna be successful, you must take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to making you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You must look outward if you wanna be successful in life...

I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my entire life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Charlotte Miller.

Brilliant mate. Many congrats to you !

I own a couple of businesses myself after working a corporate job for 15+yrs.

work / life balance on your own terms really is one of the best achievements anyone can make. 👏

[neiltraxler]

Good luck Mitch. I did something similar years ago. I didn’t have the YouTube alternative to fall back upon but I realised I learnt so much more by being out of the salary comfort zone. Keep the videos coming. 🎉

[andrewwatson]

People downplay planner’s role, until they are burnt by their mistakes.

[adamcunningham]

Well done Mitch, wish you all the best as you move forward 👍

Great video, Shane! You made some excellent points. One thing I'd add is the inherent risk in becoming a creator. Unlike traditional jobs, there isn't a guaranteed income or job security. It requires a lot of self-motivation, discipline, and sometimes a long period of uncertainty before seeing success. The pressure to constantly produce engaging content can also be mentally taxing. However, the freedom and potential for personal and professional fulfillment can make it all worthwhile. Thanks for sharing your journey!

Mitch I've been here since the start of your to watch your personal the best

[Petersworld]

Inspirational video Mitch. I’m sure many people watching will feel motivated this morning!

[Andy-wplj]

Well done Mitch! Maybe just the reminder I needed to hear this week to get my arse in gear, as time freedom is so under rated.

The power of leverage. I was always told that real money is made using the leverage of other people’s time or money. Regardless you need skills and experience first and you can only really get that under the employ of someone else. Question is how much capability do you need before going out alone. I set up my business after 30 years in work but initially it was just me, then a handful and now many. Growth follows an S curve and years are spent at the bottom of the S before growth starts.
