I Quit my job for YouTube (Life) UPDATE - My Regrets | STORYTIME

[@Tee29]

The bravest thing I’ve ever done was drop from bachelor of accounting science to bcom accounting in my final year. It was tough but my mental health was on the line. Now I’m happier, healing and bridging into my 4th year in hopes to become a CA.♥️

[@YolzChannel]

Wow babe! I am so proud of you! I pray for the very best for you on your journey to being a CA. It will be.

[@anelenaledichantelmotloung5617]

I recognize you from the streets of Milpark😉😉💃

[@melissanyat]

So proud!!!!!😫❤️❤️

[@SinikiweNgcobo]

All the best with your CA journey, it's challenging but worth it.

[@lethabomokolo4109]

Remember seeing your pictures on socials and you look so amazing I believe you made the right decision

[@abongilem]

I personally do not like corporate (which I work in) but I know I could never be a full time entrepreneur. So I have opted to have small businesses on the side which I enjoy, plus give me an income because there are no guarantees in corporate. I also save a lot and make sure to not have any unnecessary liabilities. I think its NB to have a plan when quitting your job, and you have done so well for yourself.

[@thandekachaka1849]

Bravest thing l have done was leaving Zim at 15 to pursue my education at Waterford UWCSA when l already had a scholarship in Zim that could sponsor me to pursue medicine but chose tech instead

[@phonewish7941]

I used 10 years of my life doing nothing just watching tv and keep up with trends. After lossing my sister January this year I started my being of this month and I have never been this happy. Hope my brand grow and make a different .

[@KhatazaMbhombhi]

What you have said is so true. There is no such thing as job security.

[@YolzChannel]

Eish babe, especially here in SA yaz. It's a really sad truth and reality.

[@keneiloemyoli]

It was easier for me to resign from jobs in my early 20s. Turned 30 this year and it’s not as easy anymore especially because black tax and have a toddler. This is definitely making me think though

[@MirandaZulu]

Just came home from work (8pm) and I come to this video. Leaving my 9-5 has been heavy on my mind lately and there’s been an urgency to do it. After living a life of early mornings and late nights for a year, my mental and overall health has been affected in the worst way. I spend the week working late nights and spending the weekend recovering from the week and not having energy to work on my goals and dreams. It’s a lot especially when I know what my capabilities are, when I have this burning fire and ideas for my own thing. Yho thank you for this video Yolz, honestly feel like God is confirming and communicating. It’s possible, thank you for showing us that🌻

[@elacodenest]

Thank you for this comment too, It's great to know that there're people who feel the way I feel. Sometimes when you think / feel a certain way, that's different from the way the majority of people think, you feel like you're wrong. When everyone around you believes in 9-5s, and even your family thinks ya crazy when you talk about quitting your job, you become doubtful and think that maybe they are right you should stick your to ya 9-5. But there's that thing within you that's keeps saying 'I was not born to live this kind of a life, I deserve better than this I'm worth more than this, I need to build something that I and my family will be proud of instead of building somebody else's thing'. We need to listen to that voice inside us, that is God speaking to us telling us that he has a better plan for us. And he even speaks to us through those who've already made it. Good luck sis, everything you can imagine you can achieve it, good luck to myself too. I'll quit my 9-5 some time soon, and I trust God. If he can get me this far, he can get me even farther.

[@MirandaZulu]

@@elacodenest thank you for sharing this. It’s really motivating and comforting when you know you’re not the only one with crazy big dreams. Let’s put our heads down, prepare to jump off the cliff into possibly the biggest and rewarding phase of our lives. I believe we can do it, it’s in us 💪🏾

This is me and I have been praying for direction. I still don't know what to do and ayindiphathi kakuhle.

[@kwanelehlatshwayo813]

First time here and i wana say thank you ... im working abroad in a very toxic environment, i have already made my decision to leave and go home, thos video was my confirmation that i needed💚

[@MrsShibise]

I know exactly how it feels waking up and you're not motivated to go to work and give your all. In my case, I chose to leave work to be a stay at home mom and I'm glad that I had a supportive husband. To this day, I don't regret my decision.

[@nthabi_royaltymasango4915]

I did exactly the same, it's fulfilling having to be able to take care of ur loved ones without any stress but at the same time having too much time on ur hands that doesn't produce anything tangible it's starting to shake me, i can't be this comfortable being a house wife and just taking care of the kid's, it reaches a limit, I'm losing myself now, like i need to do me, i have to grow, I have to do something just don't know what😔

[@MrsShibise]

I get you babes. Reason why I joined the KZbin streets. I've always enjoyed such because as a teen I'd watch myself in the mirror and pretend to be talking to someone else. KZbin is really my happy place. I'm also doing something for ME. So, I know you'll also find that one thing that makes you happy 😊

[@nayelushaba3041]

I left my 9 to 5 this year, I felt like I was in my comfort zone. Nobody said is going to be easy but it will be worth it. I am happy for you Yolz you are such an inspiration 💕😍🙏🙏

[@bonolomoikanyane7711]

The bravest thing I’ve done was change degrees from a straight LLB to a Bcom Law. Which sounds crazy because I made the deans list and I’m a step closer to being a lawyer. But after sitting down with myself I recognized the value I’d get from the degree as I pursue my entrepreneurial journey. I also decided to change university’s, move cities and cut my hair after having dread locks all my life .

[@leratogao2267]

I don't understand you changed from LLB to Bcom Law after that did you complete Bcom and study LLB again?because I hear you saying you are close to becoming a lawyer.... I started with Bcom law then followed with llb for 5 years

[@azilemagawana4336]

I have so many fears. I just finished my degree, studying towards being a CA. I quit my job in order to start my business and to finish with my studies.

[@Theteaplug]

I’m in the same boat with u, Unfortunately I can’t afford to quit my job because of responsibilities, black tax and all. I’m studying towards becoming CA but I recently started my KZbin channel because deep down I’m a creative

[@SinikiweNgcobo]

All the best with your CA journey, I hope it will be worth it. It has been for me.

[@ramadimetsamachete5705]

The fact that you were still going to be happy and still live even in that shack.. That right there is a battle already won! People attach their happiness with material things. "Comfortable life. "

[@xolilefaithdlamini395]

You're the best Yolz...you give me Oprah vibes. It's quite sad how most people define success as waking up and going to work, trading your time for a salary and fulfilling someone else's dream/purpose while the risk-takers are living their best life traveling the world To every woman reading this... Let's take risks, overcome obstacles and aim for the stars

[@itssaneD]

[@ThePurposeDrivenWoman3]

When purpose calls and your why is big you become a risk taker and face your fears 🤷‍♀️. You looking good 🥰

Thanks so much hun. I definitely will

[@nothandondlovuraw7388]

I know the feeling I have quit twice, first time I had just had my first child and didnt last a year and went back to my old company, I worked another 10 years after that and during that time worked on a plan to prepare myself financially and mentally but one is just never prepared enough and you have to trust God, do your part and trust. I now have left for good and loving it. Wishing all the best for others seeking this freedom

[@Lavida_Lula]

Dearest yolz.... At 29 I resigned from my job. Which is last year. For the past few days I have been anxious. And as a believer was praying for more confirmation. When you said "I just jumped". God knows I needed that. Thank you. Now I'm like let's do this ☺️😎game face on.!!!!! Thank you so much 💕🥰💕

[@Kay-me9dv]

I am not much of a risk taker, but knowing that I have a career to fall back on should things not work out definitely helps

[@nathananderson8720]

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my KZbin channel 5 months ago about self development. Now I have 317 subs and almost > 100 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.

[@cecileliralicious]

I quit my job last year. Got married and moved. I lost a few opportunities but used my skill set to make money to cover my bills. I am learning so much about myself and this time has been really necessary in preparation for where I am going next. Thank you for sharing this. Preparing before deciding is so necessary.

I recently shared my biggest life regrets too on my channel but i realized that holding onto life regrets holds us back ,leads to depression and a standstill in our lives. I honestly chose to forgive myself , make restitution where necessary and move on. Thank you for sharing💚🤗

[@NozieM]

I quit my job beginning of Feb 2018, spent the whole year doing odd jobs and living my best life, a year and a half later same company re-hired me but less pay and more stress. I don’t want to be there but the bills are keeping me there, can’t afford to be frolicking anymore 😭

[@YolzChannel]

Tjo, thank you for sharing hun. Why did you quit if may ask? And what was the initial plan after quitting?

[@NozieM]

@@YolzChannel the environment was too toxic and my mental health was taking a knock. I was always in tears, I figured I needed a break from it all before I go off the rails. I had savings that lasted me for a while and a peace of mind. The plan was to try a virtual assistant, work from home control my own hours, when that didn’t pan out I had to swallow my pride and go back to the “devil” that I knew because I had bills and couldn’t afford to miss payments

Love this video as it strike a cord with me in many aspects. One thing we all ought to do before making the “jump” is be honest with YOUR situation and set realist plans. I totally could relate because boy I’ve been stuck for years but when the time is right I’ll spread my wings and fly. All I too want is “be in control of my time” I felt you there.

I had been crying all day today on whether I'm doing the right thing and to be honest, even with all the doubts and fears, my whole being knows I should continue with what I've started. It feels right, everything feels wrong. I was definately guided to this video, thank you.

It's been three years since I started working at my current job. It hasn't been fulfilling and the environment is beyond toxic. I've wanted to quit for sometime now, but fear of the unknown hangs over me. I have business plans that I'm certain will work out if I work hard and smart enough. The problem is taking the next step and quiting. I've become so complacent it's not even funny.

[@keepitfrankwithfentse]

I think we all have these moments. I am on the same boat as you. Ready to leave and I have even started doing the maths in terms of savings. The plan is to have at least 6 months worth of cash until I either find a job that makes me super passionate again. My husband also said he would support me if I quit so having that support really helps too. You can do this hun. Just plan the exit strategy like myself.

I currently work at a bank as an analyst as well, and I'm at a point where I am trying to prepare myself to jump within a year or more. What other things did you do apart from saving up? If you were already working with brands before, how do you deal with conflict of interest and bank employee rules ! (I know you know how airtight in can be)
