Nadeshot Advice on Working a 9 to 5 and Trying to Make It

[@jnewb]

Too many people are chasing outcomes instead of journeys. That’s the difference. Nobody knew you could get rich from this back in the day, everyone who did only got there because they loved doing it. Streaming and content is saturated with people doing it for money just because they don’t like their 9-5. You’re never going to get anywhere if you’re only thinking of outcomes

[@imXenoid]

Facts. It’s their perspective that’s the problem. I work to live , I don’t live to work. Working provides me with funds to pay for the hobbies that make me enjoy life

[@bigboyfred]

Well said my man, there needs to be more talks about just finding hobbies and things that YOU like to do. There’s so much in this world to get lost in, just gotta feel it all out

[@Lemmestarve]

Needed this

[@7soumna]

It's not really as simple as that though. The things that I enjoy doing don't pay, and the odds that I get lucky and have it turn into something profitable just isn't something to bet on, or expect in any capacity. Putting that aside, it's hard to focus on the 'journey' when the 9-5 grind is simply unenjoyable and soul-sucking.

[@gragalakaisel1477]

fck. needed this so bad. I've always been so afraid of "what if I don't make it" mindset. Thanks man

[@Philbythelake]

Yep. As a 9-5er myself, find a hobby that brings you joy! I play video games and play golf! Use your 9-5 to allow you to do the things you love!!! It ain’t bad!

[@kartierluvv]

exactly, the sigma mentality that everyones trying to adopt is cancerous. just do things you love and use your 9-5 as leverage for it!

[@jgsource552]

The real problem with 9-5 is not enough time for hobbies especially if you commute. And im not just talking about video games but multiple hobbies. And the only possible way I can gain decent time is by sacrificing sleep. Working full time is the absolute worst, you have money but no time

[@Philbythelake]

@@LurkenUDamn bro I feel that. I chose a different path and have what most would call a career. I’m looking to explore business and try to monitize my passions or hobbies. Do that for long enough without giving up and you can build something worthwhile. Just never quit and do it because you love it. I’m rambling but I think we’re all here for the question.

[@MarioMusicMan22]

The advice about finding things to do that make you happy to help make the grind tolerable is probably the best advice he could have given. So many people would feel much more fulfilled if they had interests or hobbies outside the job and realizing that there is so much more to life than your career. That mindset is how you turn your passion into a living when you stop focusing on "making it"

Connections is key. Try to connect with people who are in better situations than you. Life is all about learning.

[@meatkurtin9747]

I think learning to love things that traditionally seem unlovable gives you power over those things. It allows for the mundane to feel more like an opportunity than a chore. You start to see the real beauty in the small variations of your day that are otherwise unremarkable. Ultimately, once you get a handle on the fact that you and only you have absolute control over your own perspective, you come to terms with the reality that no outside factor gets to dictate your happiness in this life. Its you. You’re the determining factor. And frankly, I think when I was a younger man that much power scared me and so I let others hold it until I was ready to wield it.

[@notspdy]

What a based take, always massive respect for nadeshot. I graduated uni, have worked hard in my career and have a really good 9-5 job but I'll be honest... I hate the 9-5 and my eyes are set on something far more self-made. It's funny I always said "I'd love to create and believe I can find success in the gaming scene, but I know I don't have the drive to just do it." and after working my 9-5 (despite liking my job) I found this other worldly drive that's come from me now knowing how much I DON'T want the 9-5. Started posting to YT, discovered how much I enjoy editing, and now I have this hobby that gives me more purpose for self-improvement at the very least. End yap.

i think as a 9 to 5(5 to 330) for me, its all about the life that you want. i worked 10 to 12hrs a day for 5 to 6 days a week for 10 years at my job, LOVED it because it gave me the ability to do some cool shit, own some awesome cars, be able to shuffle things in and out of my life at any time. I'm at a point now almost 30 where none of that shit matter anymore and all i crave is the peace. This world is filled with so much hate and negativity everywhere you go you gotta dig deep in yourself to see past it and live a life that you want and one that makes you happy.

Nadeshot real as fuck. The odds of making it as a content creator are insanely low like he said, because everyone wants to escape that normal 9-5 and do something cool like streaming games and shit. How are you going to make it happen amongst a sea of other people doing the same thing? Find how to make the 9-5 work, find a different job or career if it really makes you that miserable. Build your life outside of that, try to carve out a different lane for yourself in your industry after you have some experience.

When I first got out of college, I experienced this huge shock working a 9-5. I went from living on a college campus being surrounded by students and friends and working part time into a full time post graduate job and I absolutely hated it. I was depressed in the beginning because it was such a grind, and I missed my old student life. It felt good to finally put money in my pocket, but it was so different then school. Over time I hopped around a few jobs and found something I didn't hate and embraced the grind. Now it's not so bad and I set goals for myself and always plan things to do in the future such as traveling or concerts or sporting events.

[@negan4089]

Reality hits after college for a lot of people especially after looking for jobs. We just turned down a new grad girl with a bachelor’s for a 18 dollar an hour receptionist position. Because they want experience. My advice is skip college unless you are gonna go into medicine or engineer and focus on a trade and running your OWN business. Or getting certifications they go farther than a degree

[@pzyyyy]

You either front load the hard work (when you’re young) or you’re forced to do it when you’re much older. At some point if you just lock in for an extended period of time it’ll set you so far ahead of your peers.

@@mossuhmo Naah its just this thing in Poland where you need a maturing exam diploma to get into less physical jobs. You CAN make money but closer to minimum wage. With this, you can get better paying jobs because certain employers will not even look at you if you don't have one lmao. Its not as black and white as Im making it sound but it is that way for me personally because of how Im choosing to go about my life. Hope that clears it up!

[@GameBlizzard]

100% agree with nade here. I would definitely say it’s more difficult in your first few jobs outta college or whatever that may be for you. Mostly because you’re starting out entry level and don’t get as many perks and freedoms that come with more established careers. I used to think the 9-5 life was horrible but after establishing myself in my career I make a great living, work fully remote, and have plenty of time for hobbies outside of work like golfing or other activities. Most people underestimate how far you can get in life with having a good career especially if you get married and have two good incomes, be smart with your money and just give it time

[@dj205ful]

Best Advice* If you really wana get out of this 9-5 life, start the journey and finish the journey. Everyone wants the quick way out and that’s not going to work. There are people who start temporary and nstart full time. If you be consistent and push your self, you will be ahead 85% of everyone who started and quit.

[@IIwII_usxx]

something adam lz and tj hunt talked about on adams podcast is that instead of focusing too hard on the planning, sometimes you just gotta do it. obviously plan step one or two but if you havent started doing anything and your still trying to plan step ten then you gotta just do it, dont quit your job in hopes of blowing up, start doing something out of love, do it cause you have fun, if you enjoy playing a game on your free time then maybe record it once and upload it, maybe start a stream one day, it may take time but if you really enjoy doing it then it wont matter. like nade said dont do it for the money, just do it for the passion and if you stick with it enough who knows maybe something will come of it and if not then it also doesnt matter cause it was just a hobby and your life isnt gonna end if your content creation didnt take off. a content creator with soul and personality is better than the shell of a sell out just looking to make more money.

funny enough, i went the opposite route. i was a full time (smaller) content creator for 4-5 years and this year i went back to a 9-5. i enjoyed those years and realized my blessings, but I have a little boy and a partner I have to look out for now. full time content creation is also a full time business that you have to sustain by yourself, you get no benefits that a 9-5 gives you. although i have and amazing community that supported me so well, I had to look at the bigger picture and the longer run. "can I manage time with my family, while streaming, uploading, paying for all our coverages, bills?" "will i have a solid social life?" the simple answer was no. so i stepped away for now until i can find extra time to still do what i love.

[@Lor_Sterling]

Wow nadeshots mindset definitely changed and im here for it

[@Morris989]

Everyone’s different. Some people thrive in a 9-5 and others just hate it and want more freedom. Like for me personally I don’t do much, I don’t go away from home all too often, so a 9-5 for me is a release, it gets me out, gets me socialising and gives me purpose and routine. Whereas if I was working from home or for myself, I’d never ever be out of the house and that’s when anxiety and depression would kick in. So if you’re very outgoing you could definitely survive outside of a 9-5, if you’re like me who spends most of their time at home, I feel you need a 9-5 to really get out there and live. That’s just my opinion.

[@GuiltySiNz]

My parents worked a 9-5 everything I have today at 50 is from that 9-5 my parents worked. I don’t ever remember my dad coming home complaining or bitching I remember his shoulders being raw down to the white meat as a black Journey man all the time from carrying rebar on tall buildings this was 87’ he just didn't let us it, My kids have it easier because my wife and i work a 9-5 my kids are military and college kids 21 and 28. My dad told me long ago it’s my responsibility for me to take care of my family I don’t have to like the 9-5 but I owe it to my family to stay consistent and dependable . Everyone wants to be a man until it’s time to be a man he said. I pay all the bills from a 9-5 mortgage, car notes, Harley Davidson note healthcare food clothing etc etc. But then again a New Generation has more tools to leverage a job or income. I'm just a little old school. You couldn't pay me enough money to "Work From Home" if i was in that type of a profession

Another big thing is discipline. Being depressed and un disciplined makes matters worse. If you want to be more content with the way your life is chances are you need to discipline yourself. Discipline as in cutting out whats not beneficial for you. You know what is right from wrong. The more you do wrong the more you go down the rabbit hole. Do what you know is right even if u dont want to and dont do what is easy cause thats what the majority of population are doing. Complacency. You gotta always strive for more. We are creators. I wish everyone the best of luck on they’re journey in this life. May you have everything you ever worked for .. this is what it is. You get what you give out. Love is the answer. For yourself and for the world. The people deserve it. Now more than ever. ❤

My girl made a good point while watching VCT's, lets say you're a pro esports player done with high school and all you've done is esports just gaming and kind of streamed. You have maybe a few hundred viewers when you do stream, 10 years pass by and all you've done is esports pro gaming. What do you put on your resume? You don't have a college degree or much experience in real work life. Some pros or streamers switch to production or casting which I think is smart, but i'll be honest the streamer industry is so saturated and dense on all platforms. Make sure to work hard and find something that gives you purpose and joy. I'm currently doing a 9-5 and doing blender on the side for hobby and passion.

Do something you love and be the best at it. Everything else will follow and come. Even if your goal is to make the most money being #1 in any field will get you that. So why not do something you love so you’re not just chasing success but your dream as well 🤷‍♂️ On top of that you gotta be putting in 80-100 hours a week. 40 simply won’t cut it in anything.

[@Ascendsean35]

I don't think people understand how low the "barrier to entry" is for most enjoyment in life. What do you think a lot of streamers and wealthy, retired / whatever people do with their free time? Hit the gym (poor and middle class people can do that). Watch netflix on a big tv (everyone can do that). Play video games (everyone can do that). Read books? play guitar or some instrument? hang with friends, family, pets? Like these are all really cheap hobbies that people of all levels enjoy. People focus way too much on "how much they make" vs HOW MUCH THEY SPEND! Live like a minimalist, get a semi decent paying job and stay out of trouble and bad debt and you'll be amazed how far you get.

At this time, a job/career for me is a platform and some capital fuel to get me where I want/need to go. The situation isn't permanent, but it's just what I gotta do. ...and there's always AI in the next decade or so that'll make work obsolete? That's a dream.

[@BiHxGaMeRs]

Definetley the proper answer, if you try to treat streaming/content creation as a second job it’s only going to make you stressed when you see your views aren’t popping off as you thought. If you treat it as a hobby, then you might get lucky with a vid or two here and there and subscriber counts continue to grow. Just take speed for example, he basically created a new persona for himself once he saw how much he could Pop off with it. Before that the guy was dropping 2k and fortnite vids with little to no views, then went on to do other stuff that eventually made him explode into the scene, but it was all a hobby to him before it became something he made a living out of, that’s what you have to treat this as. A hobby, not a second job

I will say, if you truly want to work for yourself - it is possible. I built my business and now I work maybe 10-20 hours a week, I love my daily routines. I hated the idea of ever being told what to do by a boss. If that’s you, and you’re willing to eat a little glass to get the business going the first few years - it can be done.

[@KotaRages]

Very respectable & open minded response.

[@Foodmeow]

9-5, Try 40 30 20 10 saving rule or something similiar. Work on moving up within the company or move around depend what position you are in. Also, get into a trade school or a program, that will open new doors and higher wage.

[@Zwoufy]

I think a lot of people don’t realise even being a business owner or running your own business you are working a minimum 9-5 anyway if not more hours. A 9-5 is a very basic concept of a job, a job can be a passion or a side hustle to allow you to pursue other hobbies and ideas with less risk. Dont stress about trying to escape the 9-5. Utilise it!

Getting rich takes time, the problem today is everyone wants overnight wealth.

[@viveksriram3108]

Not really even about getting rich. It's mainly that people are spending most of their life doing something that they and can barely put a roof over their head

[@MariusNinjai]

@@viveksriram3108 yeah but the people that cry that much ussually spend money on dumb stuff newest phones eating out getting food delivered i am sure theres way to improve their situations

Fkin luck is the most important thing to success even if it's just a little bit.

[@BoRi7o1]

its the hard work that puts you in those scenarios. for example: if you always wanted to be a youtuber on optic and one random day optic announces that they are signing a new creator and they are viewing youtube channels for the next 2 days. Imagine if you were on ur grind but for the past 2 recent months you got lazy and didnt upload a thing and you get picked over someone whose been grinding 24/7 still uploading everyday. Sure its luck that got the other guy picked over you; but he did the hard work to put himself in that position to get lucky

[@victorinprogress]

many people got lucky but didn't have the work ethic & foundation to keep up the success. The right luck at the wrong time can suck

[@irritablysavvy]

No matter what you do, you'll be working 8 hours a day, maybe more. Even if you're an artist or a streamer or whatever you do to make a living. Try to get along with the people you work with, crack jokes, eat lunch together. Make the best of your job and enjoy your hobbies outside of work. There aren't a lot of people who make their hobbies their jobs. It's a gift and curse in many ways. You have to find happiness in the situation that you're in, not in the one you dream about.

[@iWaZaaHD]

that's the wrong mindset. passive income. passive income. repeat. the aim in life is to be financially free, so that you don't have worry about working 8 hours a day (at least) for the rest of your life. save, and prioritise now before it's too late. I'm a manager by day job and my alter ego - a music producer. Although I'm (currently) a ghost producer as I've no tag as such, I've had DMs with Roy Woods, Dutchavelli, and a few other artists. That is MY dream - to be able to pursue music full time, not working my 9-5 for the rest of my life. There's nothing wrong with dreaming, and dreams don't have to be just dreams if you really want to pursue something and find it has upmost fulfilling value within.

No days off. Don’t burn yourself out. Take a break when it’s called for.

I needed to hear this. Thank you 💞

[@klimentbassev8866]

Workers need to band together to demand better working conditions. Society is built and maintained by labor and people shouldn’t be burned out to the point of quitting, because then society will cease to function.

[@caferacergaming5104]

I think people work certain 9 to 5 jobs that arent meant to be long term career 9 to 5 jobs. Youll be happier when you find the job that you have a long term vision with. Then theres the other end of the spectrum. I worked in sawmills making great money for 15 years, but i was working night shift 230 pm to 5 am. The money was there but i was working myself to death. I recently changed jobs and took a substantial pay cut. Im back on dayshift and love it. You just gotta find what makes you happy and balances your life. It can take many years, though.

What authentic moment. I don’t even watch nadeshot at all💙

[@roybrolsbeak]

Be ahead of the curve, dont chase the curve. As a 36 year old the advice i have to give you is, dont try to do the right thing. Do what you like and get good at it. I started working just to pay the bills in a sector that i hate. I never got out of it and i hate it every day. Better to do something that youre good at and like, the money and opportunities will come on its own because youll manifest it when youre enjoying it. Everyone is saying oh scump and seth are so lucky. No, back then they took a huge risk by doing what they liked and it payed off.

[@Porchungi]

Hard sometimes when people say do what you like and and you’ll never have to work a day in your life or whatever but what if I don’t know what I like and it seems impossible to find

[@kaelanpatel4938]

did u try going to college to figure out what your interests or passions are? That helped me

[@Anunez3_]

Gained some respect for Nadeshot from this. The reality is sometimes its skill and a little luck to make it.

[@someguy1883]

Leverage the 9-5, use it as a tool to achieve other things you're more interested in. Those interests might start making you enough money to quit your 9-5, who knows. It's on you, the person reading this.

[@drxzt]

Actually great take and advice

[@vengeance8924]

ok here is my advice. Work as many hours as you physically can to SAVE MONEY. get yourself financially secure. Get a place to live. Go from there. But there is NO SUBSTITUTE for those hours you HAVE to put in. You must work more than 40 hours per week unless you have college. You MUST go fucking balls to the wall hard. Be hard on yourself to save money. Be tough. Once you save that money and get a place man, things will start lookin up. But if you are trying to " escape" the 9 to 5 grind i want to be real with you, you wont. You will be forced into working a fucking job no matter what. You cannot feel sorry for yourself. You must dig deep and persevere. It will not be easy.

[@riotbali]

actual good advice from a streamer love it

[@MattEatsMochi]

and in another 5 years its gonna be even harder than it is right now

[@ThatBreezyShooter]
