I Worked 70 Hours A Week In My 20s ... and this happened

[@mrwhizzbang5495]

I like my personal time way too much to work 70 hours let alone 40 (I do work a full-time job lol). Respect my guy.

[@isloooo]

I am an introvert too, burned out myself working in the kingdom of saudi arabia from age 26 to 32 and at 32 i started having depression and anxiety, i returned to my home country at 36 my anxiety has worsened and sometimes have panic attacks. Am retired now at 37, not really worried about my finances.

[@stevenwebb6236]

I have a similar experience. I was in law enforcement from 19-28 working 20 hours overtime a week atleast and running my own pool cleaning business and being in the National Guard. I took a recruiter job with the National guard as my life views started to change and I had a family to spend more time at home.

[@MarcAllins]

This kinda content needs to be shown to the younger generation. This that stuff you don't learn in high school unfortunately. Great stuff as always bro!

[@SliimjimHD]

You’ve come along way since I first subscribed to you 6 years ago! Proud of you man! You’re a real inspiration💪🏼

[@travelingthroughhistory4833]

I had an old man in my teenage years tell me make sure in life that you work to live you don’t live to work. That has stayed with me to this day I’m a financial advisor so I’m in the Sales world and especially your first 5 to 6 years its rough but I have been very intentional about not letting work take over and so far the work life balance has been really good!

[@gavinnguyen2699]

I did the opposite. I was a screwup at a young age. I am almost 40 and finally able to work and feel what success is; I am now working 70hrs a week as well. I log in 7 days a week and can be interrupted at any given time but thanks to this, I can provide a comfortable life for myself and my 2 kids. I am a firm believer of “sucking it up.”

[@jameszbierski391]

Same, I’m 37 in a few days. I’ve been working 70 hours a week for a year now, graveyard shift (well 2000-0600) 7 days a week. Toughest part is finding time for my wife who works day time. But I want time with my kids when we have them so I’m sacrificing now.

[@Ram-rm2gz]

Where did you work ?

[@The1WhoCanSee-yk2sw]

From 18-22 I worked 40 hrs 23 for 6 months I did 100-120 hrs a week 24 jail and probation prevented me from work 25 lost 8 months of work cause of the jail 25-26? I worked 120 hours made 189k after taxes from 25-26 now I'm 27 working 120 hours paid off home paid off cars gold silver ripped and jacked natural carnivore diet

[@juliegreaney]

My twenties were spent taking care of ill parents. It impacted my current financial state but, worth it. It was a trade off not one I regret, but work way too much now. In my opinion the view of what is success changes the older you get! Enjoyed as always!

[@daboonies8603]

I used to work that much, but time is more valuable to me than any amount of money. I work now 40hrs a week. Every weekend off. I've been to all my kids events and have a blast in the summer. I don't want to regret anything when I'm older. It's only money you can't take it with you when you die

[@masonnemzoff8868]

I struggled with burnout in my teen years because I was struggling with school, dealing with mental health problems, and trying to start several businesses. Burnout itself is not to be feared. I would definitely agree with you on that point. I would argue that the terrifying side of burnout is a loss in perspective. When you burnout it suddenly feels like you hit a brick wall. It is like you are running a marathon and you are 10 miles in feeling great, then suddenly you are collapsed on the ground unable to move a single muscle. It's terrifying and it makes you think a lot of things. - I can't do this anymore - I am worthless - I am lazy - I don't have value if I can work One of the most important lessons I have learned is to detach your self worth from your work ethic. Your self worth is the people in your life, the impact you can make, how much you enjoy life, and how well you set yourself and your family up for work. I find myself entering my 20's now having recently turned 21 and I am starting my career as an SDR. There will be burnout along the way because it will be difficult and long, and I have several side goals I want to accomplish. The main thing I have taken away from life though is you can only handle something like burnout or depression if you have the right motivations and alignment. Family comes first, then work because you need to be able to provide for yourself and your family, but you need to give yourself fuel along the way. That fuel is your hobbies, your entertainment, your socialization, and how well you treat your body. It is possible to align your passions and your work so that you can get fuel from your work. But if you end up doing something you aren't the right fit for or it takes a big stress toll on you, then you are much more likely to burn out. So unless you are in a career that fuels you as I suspect Travis is, then make sure you get enough fuel.

[@ajalikhanz]

I respect the hustle, grind and struggle :). I myself just worked through my 20s as well trying to get as much done and make as much progress I could as fast as I could. Now in my 30s I'm used to it and it's just part of my system and how I operate. I don't work as much but more efficiently.

[@JMRichard92]

Very inspirational, yet realistic! I'm giving double the amount of classes teachers on my level are giving usually right now and managing pretty well. Small sacrifices for long term success!

[@cd2619]

Great vid as usual, I’ve always wanted to provide my wife and kids a better life than I had growing up, so I work really hard for that and I don’t feel like I missed out on too many things in my 20’s. I prefer to be at home with my wife and kids, I’m 35 now and life is great.

[@nickdvorscak7390]

As a senior in my undergrad right now, this video was very good to watch. Awesome points made, awesome video man

[@KameronRobbins]

The amount of respect I have for Travis is beyond what words can say. Wish I could have met you when you lived in Cincinnati.

[@chrisgallegos801]

Great video as always. Would love to see some of your tips and tricks to be more efficient at work.

[@xavier_sz]

Goal is to be financially free before I hit my 30s, 17 now

[@BusinessAndFitness]

It’s possible

[@boochieshorts6580]

Love these types of videos. Hope the algorithm catches!

[@jmao20]

thats true why are we so afraid of burnout?? id much rather get everything i want to get done than live w the disappointment that i wasted my 20s/30s

[@AutumnSonderness]

I think if you work correctly and are convinced what you are doing creates value, you can work a lot more than if you grind every day and you are unhappy. Basically: getting good at what you do -> discovering the enjoyment of what you do -> getting even better -> profit :D

[@jmao20]

@@AutumnSonderness definitely agree you gotta enjoy what you do.

[@iRecordRandomVids]

Great vid man! I definitely have learned so much throughout the years from you. For example a few years back you made a vid or two about home ownership in your 20s. It really made me think about how I want to divide my time in the future. Because of that I’ve decided to live in apartments for now even though the financial part of me knows ownership is a far greater investment. But I believe I am way happier having the time to do the things I enjoy and not wasting it up-keeping a house at this point in my life. I appreciate the wisdom rich homie

[@BusinessAndFitness]

❤️

[@fkm512]

Great video Travis, think I’m at the opposite end of the spectrum never really work more than 40 hrs a week. Appreciate you sharing your experience

[@2000nibbles]

I am in my mid 20s and work as a nurse. I come back to your videos often because I value your work ethic. Working 70 hours a week would destroy me though. I love my job but it is physically and emotionally exhausting. I often think about going part time and doing another (less physical) job to supplement my income. Currently, I just live way below my means which means I don’t have my own place, cook most all my meals and just have basic belongings. My savings are looking good but I don’t know if I will ever be as set up as someone like you. I imagine sales is a lot more lucrative than nursing. Ultimately, I am becoming really content with living on so little. Until I figure something else out, I am hoping that is enough. Thank your for not using the words hustle or grind. Haha, I want no part of that. Grinding just reminds me of arthritis.

[@iRecordRandomVids]

Go travel nursing!!! Just a few contracts could set you up for life!

[@The1WhoCanSee-yk2sw]

You need to make 300k a year before tax for 20 years for you to live on 5k a month for 30 years

[@flyinyeti]

I did the grind myself I know your pain bro real friends and family stick by you

[@quinnernst2414]

I remember those videos I loved them! You are such a beast! Been watching your vids ever since a freshmen in high school. I’m now a junior looking to go into sales like you

[@BusinessAndFitness]

🙏🙏🙏

[@Yokey27]

These videos are so valuable, looking forward for more of them

[@superspoon0]

Travis is the guru I didn’t know I needed! Thanks big T!

[@jesseu9640]

I appreciate this greatly Travis. I’m just starting what I call my pain years. I have big goals, dreams and plan to be very influential in life. My future family and current family needs my help. My friends need my help. I will be an example for people who want to pursue their goals and dreams. For these reasons, I work 70+ hours a week all the time, but love what I do so it doesn’t feel like work. I very rarely hang out with friends too, but am ok with it because I visit family regularly. I am always trying to improve my mind, body and soul through reading, watching or learning. What im getting at is, im glad you confirmed for me if I keep on my path, I’ll achieve what I know I can. Great job Travis. Much love.

[@jaysantanaofficialmusic]

Gotta hustle n grind

[@stevepimentel237]

Do you know how many people in this world have tried as hard as you tried or maybe gone a little bit further and have not succeeded so congratulate yourself my friend because I'm congratulating you you have succeeded be proud

[@abdulwahaab9026]

Not miserable, motivational, i aspire to reach my potential and i can't do that by putting half effort in life

[@NGUJZ]

Great insight given the current situations based around work ethic in today's world.

[@AlexisRunsOnCoffee]

I’ve really struggled with burn out in college starting my sophomore year and continuing partially into my junior year (still early in the semester to tell). But I do enjoy other aspects of my life like fitness, working, and my friends.

[@ryangargaro15]

The contrast of your videos honestly keeps me hooked, like gym reviews then it’s about life, then about food like I love it! Keep it up man!

[@deadlydoomer11]

Burnout isn't always temporary; chronic stress can lead to major depressive episodes :/

[@btg49]

Graduating this spring... not sure exactly what I want to do, and I know there will be a lot of ladders I have to climb, but these kind of vids get me excited to do so

[@BusinessAndFitness]

❤️❤️❤️

[@fairygurl5448]

Really enjoy these Wednesday video’s. They’re very inspirational. I was in school for most of my 20’s, so I find I’m working more and harder in my 30’s, but it’s fine. It’s to set up the future. And, I don’t work most weekends, so that doesn’t bother me. You have to build the life you want. And, I don’t think you’re a ‘’”loser” for being alone for a lot of your 20’s because you had to take care of both of your parents. It’s commendable.

[@johnporter267]

Great vid man

[@stevepimentel237]

Don't worry about time that you can't get back worry about the time that you have left

[@JasongainsTTV]

I membah baby Travis talking all the time about the grind, they grow up so fast 🥲

[@tbomb1112]

I love these videos, I’m starting to go down the same path. Loving accounting right now but still think about switching to sales. Still in college tho so I got time

[@mistertrailerman]

starting investment banking soon…here come the hours!

[@kjyhjgf]

Everything has a trade off like I work 7 days a week an office job as a junior accountant and Saturday and Sunday in a kitchen cleaning dishes and when I work in the kitchen some of the people tell me that they wished they worked when I was their age so they can relax as they get older. That’s really driven me because I feel like everything is a trade off but which part are you ok with it so you can either work when your young and slowly relax or experience life as they say when your young and pay for it in the future both has its negatives but it’s which negative your ok living with. I hope it made sense 😂😂

[@ChristopherAdrien-s6o]

I've been capped at how many hours I can work. I'm quite motivated atmo though and it's possible that they won't enforce it but probably won't get beyond 60-66 hours. I took an agency job that turned out to be waste of time so guess I'll be looking at other places

[@funcklas1994]

A small burnout is usually fine to co-op with, but when you hit "the wall" - then life gets completley different...If someone feeling a burnout, please stop and adjust/change before it's too late. 🧘‍♂️

Hey man I’m 28 and in the accounting industry. Thanks for the motivation man! Your videos inspire me to put in that work! 💪👊

[@Create_o_raptor]

An eye opening video

[@stevepimentel237]

Don't feel bad about missing birthdays and all those other things. I mean if we think about it if we take time off for somebody's birthday vacation or whatever reason and things don't get done there's plenty of time to celebrate somebody's birthday but when you're in the midst of getting your shit together nothing else matters at the moment. And at the same time I'd ask myself wait a minute? How many people have said happy birthday to me?

[@Uncletony3]

Thanks for the video!

[@Ewoodmi]

Its worth the hustle. I try to live my life so the average person doesn't understand it. They think I'm missing out ...... lol

Love your videos and the more stuff on sales the better. Question, taking in the hourly rate you make on sales and the hourly rate you would be on as an account. Would u still earn more in sales pro rata? Thanks mate.

Oh yea

What do you consider financial freedom? Being able to get beyond your needs?

[@BusinessAndFitness]

Not ever needing to think about money. Just buying what I want without consequences

[@AnthonyCuocco]

I've watched you put in sooooo much work into your videos over the years and I would say you deserve to be "lazy" now haha even your lazy is most people's full throttle lol.

[@BusinessAndFitness]

Man it’s always good seeing you here

[@austinwolf6981]

Brand!

[@eddiemango]

Yo rich homie did you end up doing your CPA? Can’t imagine how you managed all that and the CPA!

[@BusinessAndFitness]

Nope

[@njparady]

And once you have a kid you will hardly remember what life was like before. You also realize that being able to work longer hours may not actually be possible.

[@amanewgirl]

I respectfully disagree. Burn out can be life changing. Burn out and its effects can last years. Its a point of physical, emotional and mental exhaustion that leave you vulnerable to depression, diabetes, anxiety disorders and heart attacks. I don't think its something to strive toward or continuosly risk tbh

[@tbomb1112]

In your sales job, do you focus on B2B sales or B2C?

B2b

[@oliverc1293]

I'm a fan of yours, a hard worker, an obsessive personality, and probably just as committed to my profession as you (though for slightly different reasons). However, I have to say, I really, really, really strongly disagree with your characterisation of burnout. Read the WHO definitions and descriptions. It is an insidious syndrome that eats away at people's lives and happiness. It is easy to reach and very hard to get out of. I've seen people who seem totally on it all the time who are reduced to a shadow of their former selves by true burnout setting in. OK, don't be scared of it - but respect it. It's a truly serious issue.
