I quit my job with no back up plan | Life Update

Quitting was the hardest thing and easiest I have ever done. If you have thought about it, don't take it lightly. Especially when funding your own business. I quitted for freedom and pursued becoming a videographer. I quitted to follow my dream. I quitted for my mental health and my family but it's true, I did quit my job with no backup plan. Here's how life is going. #thegreatresignation #videography #thecreative

[@Tenjiecorner]

Stop feeling guilty about quitting your job without a backup plan. Society has conditioned us to believe that work and productivity are the main aspects of life.

[@DanielJMadden]

Appreciate the encouragement! Glad to report that I’m no longer feeling guilty. More grateful than anything else these days.

[@ShondaD_]

True True and True!!!!

[@bingneedsalife]

I just left my 9-5 today so pursue freedom and the pursuit of happiness. This video was what I needed to see!

[@DanielJMadden]

Well congrats!!! It’s a rollercoaster ride but it has been a fun ride in my experience. Glad that this video was able to relate to you.

[@BetterNDTravel]

This popped up on my home page. I've also quit my corporate job to pursue a career path that aligns with my values and passions. Will be a long and interesting road!

[@DanielJMadden]

Yes it will but I hoping that you find the joy in it like I have though some days are just trash. Lol just being honest

[@Bryant1128]

I just put my notice in and I feel so amazing and glad I'm doing this

[@DanielJMadden]

Congrats! I remember that feeling very well! What’s next for you?

[@keziasaint-louis6519]

Progress, not perfection, is the goal! Good on you for moving forward in a path that felt true to you and God's plan for your life 🎉🎉

[@DanielJMadden]

Thanks Kezia! And yes progress over perfection is my life’s motto

[@wellowbeats]

I'm so happy for you! Maybe I too will one day find the courage to quit my 9 to 5 job that I hate. I can't continue to live like this.

[@DanielJMadden]

Thank you! 🙏🏿 I know that place your in and it isn’t fun for sure. Yes courage comes into play but try planning for your exit and maybe you’ll start to feel better about leaving

[@justbobbyt]

I dig it - great story, and excited to see the journey unfold. That last clip is a testament to the struggle to get those angles!

[@DanielJMadden]

Lol it’s a struggle for sure. Appreciate you watching and excited to share the journey with you bro.👊🏿

[@don-hughllewellyn2877]

amazing video, kinda in the same boat super happy for you

[@DanielJMadden]

Oh you know I’m going to text you now lol but thanks man! 🙏🏿

[@moniqueleslie09]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Love this.

[@DanielJMadden]

Thanks Monique!

[@DWEthiopia]

What I got from this video is the importance of having a supportive network that can keep you accountable when slacking off or getting lazy. I don't have this and I feel like I desperately need this but feel blocked in getting one because of social anxiety and depression.

[@DanielJMadden]

Yes I would say a supportive network of people is important and remember, one of the most important individuals that supported me through this transition was my therapist. So sometimes that support can come from paid health professionals.

[@_mshsrn]

Go Daniel, you better be transparent and a care free!! You are inspiring - Bree❤

[@DanielJMadden]

Lol thanks Bree! I enjoyed sharing this.

[@lexxiethomas289]

Awesome content ❤❤❤ literally going through this. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@DanielJMadden]

Appreciate you! Thank you for watching!

[@tronnierants]

So proud of you bro!

[@DanielJMadden]

Thanks man! 🙏🏿

[@newvision101]

Think about it- Rhiannas song Work Work Work Work. Ru Paul’s You Better Work. Project Runway’s Make It Work. And there are many other pop references to Working. How is it that our human experience programming leaders to working for health insurance, food, shelter. How did we get here. It’s ingrained in our psyche. We’re born. We go to school. We go to work. We die.

[@DanielJMadden]

You’re speaking nothing but facts! I want my life to be that I lived, loved, I left a legacy then I died

[@alinenishimwe8563]

Your energy in the video and smile is contagious! Thank you for the video. Learning a lot from it because I am in the exact phase. Thank you

[@DanielJMadden]

Thank you!! 🙏🏿 This journey has been rewarding but it’s still scary. However I wouldn’t trade it for the world

[@adammorra3813]

Good job, you have a lot of courage.

[@DanielJMadden]

Lol or insanity but thank you.

[@lifebehindthereels]

KZbin suggested your video, and I’m so glad I found it. I’m sort of running into the same line of reasoning. It’s been there for a while. Just started my channel while gainfully employed in FinTech/Corporate world. But this here, this work we/you are doing is what gives, and brings more life and joy. I just subbed 💪🏻 🙏🏻

[@DanielJMadden]

Thanks for subbing! Yeah, it was not a light decision to make but it was definitely the right decision.

[@kerryb.6419]

So proud of you! This is Kerry-Ann from Andrews, if you remember lol. This video inspired me. Thank you for your obedience & pursuing your creativity 😊

[@DanielJMadden]

But of course! I ain’t that old yet 😂😂 but thanks watching and I’m glad you got something from it!

[@IntrovertRockstar]

Great video

[@DanielJMadden]

Thank you 🙏🏿

[@chirovandenbos2339]

People are programmed robot slaves of the system thinking happyness starts with extern factors like status, money, material things that means nothing and its relativ and an illusion create by society. If your happyness depend on extern factors you will never be because extern factors are endless. Happyness starts inside you. A lot of people are empty inside so work and create an illusion for the outside world to buy stuff thinking they look beautifull or made it but its all emptyness to me. The more people around you, the more expectations, talk about others, lying, frustrations, negativity, jealousy, double standards, violent, sneakyness, own benefits, judge, comparing etc......reflection of their broken souls. Alone you have more strength, peace, power, happyness, freedom and time. And no, not feeling superior or better then others but more be carefully and awake. Be the light in your own life. We born alone and died alone and in between we are all guests......short time here. The here and now is where the magic happens

[@DanielJMadden]

Yes and I would challenge anyone to surround themselves with better people. I believe we are our most powerful when we are around people who do place expectations on us but encourage us to be who we are meant to be. As the proverb goes, “if you want go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”

[@consciousness23]

Thanks for sharing your journey Daniel. It was both encouraging and inspiring. Wishing you the best of success.

[@DanielJMadden]

Thank you 🙏🏿 I’m glad that you got something from this. Look forward to meeting again at the next THINK

[@Freelybeingkaila]

welp this is what I needed to hear!! thank you!!! I am at a job now that yes pays me well but it is not good for my mental and I dread coming in everyday. I have 7 more weeks to go and then this contract ends then I am betting on me and taking a leap of faith! thank you for the motivation and for being the sign I needed!

[@DanielJMadden]

Awesome! The money isn’t everything. Glad this could be affirmation for you. What’s the dream? What’s next?

[@Freelybeingkaila]

@@DanielJMadden after this contract ends I will be going back home to pack my car for car camping and I will be hitting the road to different national parks and hidden gems in nature and document the whole adventure through videography and photography. I want to put more brown faces in these outdoor spaces and show that brown people love to camp and be outside as well. I am on a soul journey right now in these last 6 months of my 20s and I feel like this is the right move to make. i dont have any idea how long this adventure will last but I am excited for the unknown!

[@DanielJMadden]

@@Freelybeingkaila Yaas! I love for you. Will you posting this on KZbin? Because I am here for it all.

[@Freelybeingkaila]

@@DanielJMadden definitely will be posting my travels on youtube! i want to look back on the adventures, the feelings in that moment and see the growth and maybe inspire others to get out and see this beautiful world!

[@DanielJMadden]

@@Freelybeingkaila Awesome! I’m subbed.

[@EnhancedSimplicity]

10:16 .... EXACTLY! .... Challenges WILL happen... it happens in all areas of life

[@DanielJMadden]

Say it again!

[@ShaunaGMorgan]

OMG, Daniel! Heeeyyy cuzzo! I had no idea you had a channel. I stumbled on this artistic thumbnail and screamed when I saw you lol. Loved this video and the creative approach you took. Just subbed. Congrats on your new journey. You'll be great and I commend you for following your heart. Love you! God bless 💕🙏🏽

[@DanielJMadden]

Hey Cuzz!! It’s crazy how you found this but thank you so much for the words of encouragement. I appreciate it! And add me on Instagram, I would love to catch up. @optical.opium

[@beverlyhelm5287]

Lots of people get an education in one field but change to a different field later. I don’t blame you for trying a different type of work if you aren’t happy with the way things are. (As long as you aren’t a 35 year old man living in your parents basement and is working enough to support himself…who cares?). You have your training as a minister and can use that in many ways with any other type of work you find yourself doing. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, Right? (If you ever change your mind you can always go back into ministry…Rocky Mt Conference could use a few more pastors. Good luck to you and God bless.

[@DanielJMadden]

Thank you 🙏🏿 and yes I could always go back if anything but God has been blessing me where I am now so I’ll continue to walk down this path. Thanks for watching’

[@monochromesoul5873]

I want to do this too but i have too much uncertainty

[@DanielJMadden]

I hear you. And maybe it’s not your time yet. Give yourself grace and time to figure how you can possibly do this. Then when your ready dream and plan without the stress of having to execute and see how you feel.

[@noufalmandeel9861]

From Saudi Arabia here and almost quitting✌🏽

[@DanielJMadden]

I hope when your ready it is a great experience and right choice for you like it was for me!

[@ahmadomran4773]

I am quitting as well this month! From Lebanon 🇱🇧

[@DanielJMadden]

@@ahmadomran4773 Good for you! What job are quitting and what’s the dream?

[@psychedelicspirituality]

I've done this dozens of times. I have a Cluster B Personality Disorder.

[@DanielJMadden]

Yeah? It was a first for me.

[@nequag]

I feel u just off the title😢❤

[@DanielJMadden]

I had to do it! My mental health is more important.

[@nequag]

@@DanielJMadden facts these jobs make you prove so much to them sometimes just for them not to care at all ❗️goodluck on financial freedom and more life and blessing ❤️thank god u having an amazing wife who supported u with ur decision

[@DanielJMadden]

Pastor is an easy life with tax breaks and free food, accommodation

[@DanielJMadden]

Bahaha. I did get a housing tax that we as helpful but what I being paid was not much. So the housing tax was necessary lol. But my free there was no free food or accommodation. Maybe some other denomination but not mine. Neither was it easy. I left because it was severely messing with my mental health.

[@Stryv4Prfctn]

🤔 - This feels very disingenuous. Cleverly written/performed content for "click bate."

[@DanielJMadden]

I’m sorry you feel that way. I assure you everything I’m saying is not scripted. I knew wanted to say and said it when the camera was rolling. Now I’m guilty of planning out my shot list, knowing where I wanted to shoot but I’m a filmmaker 🤷🏿‍♂️I take every opportunity to practice my craft. But what I said was true. I quit my job with nothing else but my dream to chase and I’m still doing that. I still do appreciate you watching! Thank you 🙏🏿

[@Wiola-zr9qy]

You need a wife and kids

[@DanielJMadden]

Lol why did you say that?
