a truly honest perspective of working a 9-5 + building a business

[@akari3942]

3:25 you have a video titled "Why I quit my job with no backup plan" 2 years ago but in this video you said you had a 9 to 5 for the last 2 years so now I'm confused.

Yep, quit that job in 2020, wasn’t doing what I wanted to do and a bad environment to be in. Then, took that money I saved, invested in a business one year after (2021), had partners in that business, got into creating content, got an offer from a recruiter about for a job creating/managing content (2022), grinded for 2 years straight, used that money to buy my partners out of my business (2024), now own the business 100%. Longest run on sentence to say that I used the job from that recruiter to work for me. I had a strategy in mind of what I needed to do in order to avoid getting back in the situation I got in back in 2020. The job Allowed me to build skills in something I actually enjoyed and funnel those funds to build my business, not become a slave to the job. Now, building up the war chest for when it’s time so I’m able to have some cash runway.
