I QUIT my office job...

7 months after going part time with my office job to dedicate more time for KZbin, it just got too busy. A good problem to have... here's what was going on behind the scenes and how I hope to share my process with those of you wanting to do the same thing. After this video, see you on Tuesday's and Friday's.

You being here is the reason I can have a financially independent job riding motorcycles. A content creator is only as valuable as their audience. So really, when I say you mean so much to me and my channel... you literally mean so much.

Living the dream Doodle!✅

[@isitover9010]

Hey Doodle! I just found you recently. Literally like 3 days of just checking out your content and you have a new subscriber! I am starting the process of riding and about to sign up for my endorsement course so I can buy a bike and start riding. Quick question should I finance a bike so I can get into it I can get one quicker then saving up. I want the Honda CBR 500R as my starter. When I was 16 I rode a ninja 250 until the group I rode with older guys one of them rag dolled off on a corner and we quit... I want to learn the basics and ride safe is the CBR 500R a decent choice? I think so please share your thoughts and thanks for such great content!

[@davidholland8750]

As a new rider, it's been really cool to watch the growth of your channel and see you become more comfortable. I really look forward to seeing your channel continue grow. Keep up the great work! 🙂

[@ChaseJasperDown]

You make great content! I wish you the best of luck. I can only hope I’ll get that point someday.

[@twobrotherscycleanda]

The real American dream isn't financial well-being, and a picket fence. It's freedom. Congrats doodle.

[@DoodleOnAMotorcycle]

^^ THIS

[@thomasgaliana6288]

Correct!

[@HiroNguy]

Freedom and self determination = True security and safety. Dependence on a 3rd party = slavery. Be free! Live the dream Doodle! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@killer2600]

Financial well-being actually is part of the American dream. Financial well-being doesn't mean being rich.

[@boxofmoles4057]

Word, brother.

[@garthhowe297]

Just being you, is the most appealing part of your channel. Best wishes!

[@dasautogt]

+1, absolutely agree.

[@shadetreesurgeon]

You deserve nothin but good things!

[@DoodleOnAMotorcycle]

Shadetreeeeeeeeee 😭❤️❤️❤️

[@BlockheadMoto]

It's a scary jump, but the fulfillment can be awesome. Just gotta keep putting in the work, it never stops, haha. Congrats Doodle!

[@charlesm.8807]

Hey Blockhead!

[@StuntTriple]

MotoTubers gotta stick together, amen

[@t-rod9858]

Mfn blockhead my man! Your videos taught me how to ride and now I have a Yamaha V Star after hesitating for so long.

[@charlesm.8807]

Block still won’t show his face…🤔

[@jesseonamotorcycle]

@@StuntTriple 👍🏼

[@wilgarcia1]

Love that you feel better without makeup. I honestly think its fairly tragic when I see women so uncomfortable in their own skin that they wont go outside without painting over it. I hope this catches on.

[@Boobtube.]

Good for you Doodle. The 9 to 5 is not for everyone, but not everyone can escape from it. You escaped and are able to do what you enjoy. Happy for you. Be yourself and not someone you think we want you to be. Good luck, I know you will make it big one day. This is only the beginning. Stay safe and stay awesome.

[@quirkysue3471]

I love that you are a REAL person, and passionate about all things riding related. As a (straight) female, I have zero interest in seeing you or anyone else in tank tops, tbh. 😂

[@DoodleOnAMotorcycle]

😂😂

[@MaxVMedia]

Congratulations on going full time. Your content is awesome

[@scottdrebus]

I've struggled for so long, and continue to struggle with trying to live my dreams. It makes me so happy when I see other people's accomplishments and achievements. I celebrate your spirit!

[@savage22bolt32]

Me too, Scott. Recently I heard Ken Kaplan say something like this - You only live once and you're going to be dead a long time. So chase your dreams & have some fun. (Ken Kaplan)

[@douglaslucero4422]

i can listen to you talking about anything all day. I am so glad you can do what you love doing without worrying about anything. Your channel is just about perfect. It could only be better with future doodle and the dancing outro from your first track day. Thanks for the vids. Ride safe.

[@amyv.7531]

I got a little teary watching this...you’re my favorite female Moto vlogger and seeing you take that leap of faith into living your own dream full-time on your terms is so inspiring! Looking forward to watching all your future endeavors ♥️👏♥️

[@Fee.1]

Teach me to schedule on a planner…or at all. My organization sucks. Proud of you doodle…you lived the dream, then you lived the other dream. Enjoy this one while you can.

[@wilgarcia1]

I literally cried the first time I quit a job. but I couldn't STAND IT anymore. It was just such a dead end. Rock on Guurl! Wishing you all the best =D

[@bobjones8864]

I enjoy your videos because you are you, not pretending to be something you’re not. No click bait, nothing fake. Glad you can make a living doing something you love.

[@1Down5UpOfficial]

This literally is such a cool story, im glad you are going places, seeing my favorite youtubers getting to live their dream jobs is awesome and such an inspiration. I'm in the middle of building a family and growing up lol so I put youtube off for a little bit but mark my words im also gonna be where you are before I hit 30 🔥 keep grinding!

[@savage22bolt32]

Love your handle! But it begets a funny story. Back around 1974 I took a ride on my bud's Norton Commando. Going thru the gears & planned on banging 3rd to 4th. Well, the pattern on that bike is one up, three down (and with the right foot to boot). Glad I was hard on the throttle, cause I got a lesson in powersliding when I clicked the lever up into 2nd!

[@CrimsonAnjel]

You earned it, girl. Definitely be yourself, you are awesome just the way you are.

[@h2oman95]

Tuesday mornings.... Coffee with Doodle would be perfect!🤪🤪

[@DoodleOnAMotorcycle]

😃😃

[@SewGurl58]

I’ll admit, your early videos, I was doubtful you were a “real” rider motorcycle enthusiast. But as you’ve morphed to reality, I’ve enjoyed watching your videos so much more. I follow several women on their motorcycle journeys because I want to be supportive. If KZbin was a thing 30 years ago I’d probably be where you are, but I am just to old to start now, but not too old to just keep riding! So good luck on your future vids, look forward to seeing more content.

[@ttrguy9952]

Doodle I love that you have ridden to the fork in the road of Life!!! It takes GUTS and determination to be totally independent. I have always owned my own company. It has rewards and weaknesses. Sure, I can blow off everything for months on end but I need to keep making long term business deals to keep my company running. You are in a different but similar situation. Just keep making these great videos Lady and you will do just fine! It's great that you and Cody are chillin' out there!! Relaxing gets a lot of work organized in the mind. Peace Doodle! Ride SAFE and BE safe Lady!!! 🙌👏👌🤙🖖✌👍👋🙂🌹

[@clw2696]

Congratulations and good for you. I am a follower and enjoy all the video's. I ride, but wish I rode more. Life gets in the way. Enjoy your new chapter and be safe

[@reblrider9316]

We love our Doodle!!

[@thomasanderson4664]

Hi Motorcycle Vitamin! You Can Do This ! Your Full of Life and Energy ,Everyone Needs This ! Thank You for Keeping Me on 2 Wheels . Winter Hard so You gave Me Hope!!!! Hang On Riding seasons coming. You pulled Me Threw. I bet slot of people have said Thst!!!!

[@Boysenberr]

Hi Doodle! In HAMLET, as Laertes is about to depart for France, his father Polonius advises him, "This above all, to thine own self be true, and it must follow as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man." You were true to yourself and the outcome was entirely predictable. Never stop learning . . . and keep the vid's coming! As I type this Kayla is probably nearing Germany! What fascinating stories she will be able to provide for us!

[@elbrujolosabetodo]

Keep up the great work Doodle! I watch all your videos

[@lmartinez3633]

What really set you apart is that you are genuine and down to earth, success in your new endeavors

[@KODEGREY]

Congratulations. I think you just deciding to be yourself is what made your channel grow.

[@murraykriner9425]

Your a very intelligent person with enough experience in this business to excel where many other's just can't. Your open mind and want to succeed will guide you. Very sorry your folks aren't receptive, but I get it. My folks hated my love of the Sport, and begged me to not buy a bike ever. Hope you can talk to your parent's some day about this, as you speak to many of us here. Very best wishes, coated with a little luck, and sprinkled with care.

[@mikemccabe8198]

It is really great that someone who has worked hard like you have can now be in a position to be full time with something you truly love. Your hard work has paid off! Yes, just being yourself and presenting yourself the way YOU are most comfortable translates to us feeling comfortable watching you.

[@robh649]

Congrats on your next step! I enjoy your channel. and look forward to your additional content. Ignore the ignorant trolls, they are a waste of time.

[@BlackphoenixEntertainment]

I'm so happy for you. You're one of the true real ones on here. Thank you for everything and keep up the good work :)

[@MotoByChance]

Congrats! That is a big step and I am so happy for you!!! Keep up the great work. 🎉👏🏻😎🏍🖤 I was raised the same way. I have an Engineering degree, had the dream job, and hated it! I am only part time with KZbin, but hope that changes over the next year. 🤞🏻

[@MotoMengy]

I loved being an engineer until I started working in a corporate America job. That slowly beat the fun of engineering out of me. 😐

[@RUSTY-A-L]

I can't imagine working at a Refinery or Manufacturing facility with Bosses that were "complimentary". They usually treat you like a stray dog in your trash can!

[@DoodleOnAMotorcycle]

Lol! 😅

[@tahirsharif9461]

Congratulations. Very exciting for you. Looking forward to even more content.

[@wrxguyusa]

Your early videos were a lot better than you realize. The real doodle always came through and you had good information and an authentic perspective. All very helpful when my wife was learning to ride and get her own bike. Looking forward to many more years.

[@Zizzyyzz]

Now you have a video that as of today's date, has 2.2 million views! 👏🏽

[@MrLou8888]

Congratulations. Good luck.

[@HSVJD]

Congrats & keep doing what you love. Your channel is like no other & I enjoy watching everything you post.

[@emeraldangelle]

First!!!! Ive followed you shortly after you started and let me say i am genuinely happy for you!! Mi reina sigue adelante!!! I am so happy that you have followed thru in truly doing what you want!!! Blessings to you always !! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@anar7043]

Good for you Doodle! I'm happy for you. I'm a new rider - two years - and appreciate your content. ✌❤

[@charlesm.8807]

👏 you are fantastic.

[@totocall1999]

Do what the algorithm wants! We will find your content.

[@shanereilly7319]

You are such a real down to earth soul ! ... In this world we live in , people like you give me hope ! Luv from Australia 🇦🇺

[@theadventuringspirit83]

I think it's because your co-workers already knew you so well that they could only be happy for you. ^^

[@mattconverse7754]

Congrats and thank you for being yourself. You have come a long way and your hard work has earned you the “promotion” that you have given yourself

[@Hjalmar_Lane]

Wish you the best, be yourself that's the best you can do.

[@LifeontheBlacktop]

Proud of you Doodle!

[@davejohnson2820]

Congrats!! Very good content on your channel. I've been riding motorcycles for almost 50 years... Still riding all styles of bikes, dirt, dual sport, adventure, and street. I own a bike for every mood. It's a life style for me and caught the 2 wheel bug around the age of 7, and I will be riding as long I'm heathy and alive. One of my neighbor friends I street ride with will be turning 82 years old this year, what an inspiration. I try to ride with him whenever I can. Best of luck to you and ride safe. Dave J

[@twowheelingtom]

Doodle on a Motorcycle, thank you for just being you. I am happy for you and how your channel has grown and will continue to grow. I am looking forward to seeing your new content. Ride safe!

[@filipposantoro8830]

Sending you loving vibes on your new adventure.

[@HARMARSCH2]

Congratulations Doodle on making the move to doing KZbin full time. I always look forward to seeing your videos, you are most definitely a favourite channel of mine.

[@robertvincent562]

I think you hit the nail head on. As you found out, the more you can be yourself, the more people trust you and believe what you say. You so richly deserve your success. But as someone who also loves what they do for a living, I know it's also important to schedule down time for yourself to recharge. Otherwise, it's still possible to burnout... Even doing what you love..!

[@DuncanJimmy]

Congratulations on the leap. Whatever success you achieve is entirely deserved through your well appreciated sincerity and hard work. You earned this, and we couldn't be happier.

[@markfisher2683]

A wonderfully REAL video. As a fellow rider- thank you for your genuine joy of life…. And being yourself. And…. CONGRATULATIONS for taking a chance! In that, you are already a success! Well done, Doodle;)!

[@Frank_Torre]

Awesome video Doodle. Glad that your happy going full time on KZbin. Can't wait to see your review on the Trident and slingshot. I've always thought it's not the size of those watching but the amount of people enjoying your content and who you are.

[@dustifyoumust2244]

A shout to you from The Netherlands. It is indeed your authenticity that draws me to watch your postings. Just being 'you' in all your vulnerability is compelling; conversely demonstrating courage in your decisions and life. Being somewhat older, I must confess to feeling inspired by the passion you demonstrate in living your young life. I too shall seek adventure; hopefully not a swan song!

[@TRexHeliPilot]

My favorite video yet. Always wondered what drew me to your channel....It's that you're genuine and you exude enthusiasm for the great motorcycling lifestyle. I wish you much success.

[@ervinhepler9558]

Congratulations 🎈👏👍 Doodle!! You are just beginning to live your dream, keep your head up and on your shoulders be safe and I will be watching for the next veido

[@fantasylive1102]

Loooove.. THIS!!! What an amazing display of heartfelt vulnerability!! ❤❤❤ You made the right choice Doodle! You got this! We love you!!!

[@OutbackOutlaw]

Good on you. Well done. Keep up the great content. 👍🏾💯

[@mikeparkerson6492]

Always treat the camera as a friend you chat with. React to other's comments as in a chat. When you look at the lens, see a good friend who likes yiou and what you say. All that's the key to being natural and interesting. You're an interesting person. Just let that show!

[@ahmed2527]

Best of luck Carolyn. Take care and stay safe.

[@d3v1ld0g6]

Congrats! and yes, ALWAYS BE YOURSELF! Phony is shallow. It's fun to watch you grow as a youtuber and a person. keep it up.

[@ronoldcross8189]

It is a big jump. But, you are following your dream and providing encouragement to so many others. Congratulations!

[@thomasbrooksjr380]

Congratulations on finding your sweet spot Doodle and taking that big step! 🙌🏾 I knew you would 😉 , i love your reviews tons of great information, but i like these heart to heart videos too really feels like your that best friend thats pouring it out on us 😅 i appreciate the talks, stay safe 👊🏾 continue to be a blessing ! Let that little light keep shining !

Hey. Congrats on taking the leap and backing yourself. Looking forward to seeing more content.

[@motoknivesandgunsbyjt]

Ahhh! You finally got to ride the Trident! Please do tell ASAP!

[@1905flyer3]

Congrats Doodle!!! Looking forward to see some new content!

[@UrbanMoto]

YAY DOODLE!!! :D Happy for you!! Live the dream!

[@HeartBrokenBiker]

Congrats... Very happy for you! I personally appreciate when content is kept intellectual and funny.

[@119topdawg]

Listening to Amanda is a good thing. Congratulations on following your dream. Best of luck😎

[@ridermak4111]

I think the biggest reason that we are so impressed and supportive of your efforts is your insatiable hunger for learning new stuff…..and then pass it on to all of us in a very entertaining, friendly, and informative way. My first motorcycle was a brand new 1977 Yamaha XS 650…$ 1595. I was 18 and had zero 2-wheel experience. I managed to figure it out by myself. I went off the road twice (but didn’t crash) before I suddenly figured out countersteering. 45 years and 8 bikes later I am envious and so proud of you and your search for the RIGHT kind of knowledge and training. About the only thing I can offer, comes only from time passing. After a certain number of years I noticed that my increased confidence allowed my situational awareness to slack off a bit. Each time I noticed that slack I got angry at myself and rebooted synapses. The biggest thing that I practiced back then was emergency stopping. The technology level of tires, brakes (no anti lock) and suspension was nowhere near today’s capabilities. That practice prevented several collisions with dogs, deer, cars, a turkey, and bicycles jumping in front of me. The nonstop habit of trying to predict the future by 5 seconds and a couple hundred feet ahead, I believe has saved me several times. I don’t remember who said it, but the following piece of wisdom has kept my attention on possible threats ahead better than anything else over the years. ASSUME THAT EVERYTHING THAT IS OR CAN MOVE , IS TRYING TO KILL YOU. ESPECIALLY THE ONES BEHIND BLIND SPOTS.

[@nelvilla86]

This is so awesome!! I remember following you years ago when you first started and we’re sharing you learning how to get better at riding!

[@BaggersandBrews]

Probably one of the best videos i've watch of yours. Good luck Doodle, cant wait to see how your channel evolves!

[@theboutiqueusfashiontruck568]

You are so sincere and so you. I love your videos. Congratulations!

[@bmwrider1931]

Go get em. U can do anything you set ur mind to. Can’t wait to see the channel grow.

[@randycape8706]

ONE WORD COMES TO MIND HERE......GENUINE! I am just one person saying this ,but positive I'm not the only one thinking it. Best wishes!

[@VVoltz]

This video is gold. Props for going full time, kudos for your bravery and honesty. Looking forward to more vids!

[@DBartWest]

And your trip to Dallas should be terrific for moving forward. Other Vlogers are looking forward to meeting you as much as you are meeting them.

[@killorbytes]

Good for you. Taking the leap into entrepreneurship is scary but can be VERY rewarding. And throw a motorcycle on top of that? Awesome. Enjoy your journey and keep being you, that’s why we watch.

[@generiley355]

Congrats Doodle....just continue doing what you do!

[@RayBowdenRides]

[@serious_in_seattle6917]

I have wondered why a motorcycle company hasn’t offered you a gig as their official pitch person. You are photogenic and authentic. You are good at bringing more women into riding motorcycles! Good for you!

[@chucklachance]

I started watching when you rode the Street Cup. Five years running and looking good.

[@correykeen2956]

[@jessieh6970]

as a ‘brown girl’ who loves motorcycles, I think you are amazing and you are part of the reason I got my first bike this year! Ninja 250. :) And I’m the odd duck out it feels most of the time too so thank you for being you and being such an encouragement!!!! 🖤
