Hey Lillian, great video as usual! Really like how you mentioned that we don't have to be great to start but we have to start to great. I myself, am a perfectionist as well and sometimes I'll feel bummed that I make mistakes. But like you said, the most important part is how long you play the game, and that you keep getting better. Love your videos, feels like a breath of fresh air after a tiring day

I retired at 52 and honestly, I wish I’d done it sooner. The 9-to-5 grind always steals your freedom for a paycheck that barely scratches the surface. My advice? If you’re in your late 30s or early 40s, start saving for FIRE now (Financial Independence, Retire Early.) And if you’re in your 50s, invest smartly and break free from relying on your job. Market trends, like the Trump Effect, have made millions for many, including me. Stay focused, stay consistent, and remember financial freedom is within reach if you make it a priority.

Thanks for sharing. 2 things I learnt from you. It takes passion to keep you going so that you do not give up so easily when things do not go as what you had intended, and to treat life as a marathon, not a sprint - slow and steady wins the race 😀

This is my first time watching your channel and I enjoy watching your video very much. Have subscribed to your channel and looking forward to more of such wonderful sharing from you 😍😍😍

The mental health part resonates me!! I'm a product manager at a software company now, and I also play the guitar and do podcast. I have INFJ personality as Lillian, so recently I felt super draining while pursuing all my goals. I'm also looking for ways to treat my mental health. Hope Lillian can share about it in future videos❤

Thank you for adding English subtitles. I've been watching your channel for a long time and often have to translate from English to Vietnamese. ❤

Thank you for another inspiring video! I am also in my late 20s working in corporate - you have provided me great guidance on navigating my career, and on how to pursue my interests. I won’t be where I am now if it wasn’t for you. I’ve also signed up for your latest course and I cannot wait! Sending lots of love from Japan💓

Don't work for money; make money work for you. Invest wisely today to create the freedom you desire tomorrow.

Taking care of our mental health is very important and this reminds me, and I recommend everyone, to listen to a song by BTS, titled "Paradise", where they talk a little about how demanding we are regarding our careers.
