How I Balanced Multiple Six-Figure Jobs for 3 Years

[@TaylorBell]

Back to consulting roots for today, but this time in hindsight 🤓 A highly requested video since 2020… hope you find some value here ☺️🐢

[@Maria_Imaculada]

2020 the world goes into Panic and a star is born Taylor Bell / both thanks to COVID 19 this is proof of the saying that everything has its good and bad sides! Still cool Taylor I loved it 🤑

[@UnsolvedParadox]

Thanks for the insight! It's important to look back & take stock of what worked, along with what didn't.

[@alberteins3101]

Love you Taylor Bell❤

One of the biggest risks here is falling out of love with your job that pays the bills and becoming enamored with the side-hustle that doesn't. It takes tremendous will and dedication to stick to the job while building the side-hustle (which can take years). Thank you for another great video.

I used to work as a consultant in the Big 4 for many years and started a side project (a card game for consultants) I was really excited about. I tinkered with it on and off for several months but once I had a pretty realistic prototype of my game in my hands, I knew I wanted to take it more seriously as a business so I left the Big 4 and got an actual 9-5 job. It wasn't my only reason to leave Big 4, but it was one of the big ones! I love having more time and mental space back to work on my game each day!

[@zephany]

This is my Effective Window for leaving a comment. I love to see hard-working and slightly-frazzled Editor Taylor occasionally jumping in with extra tips, context, or clarification. I fully believe that she is the hero that keeps the lovely Presenter Taylor shining!

[@denverdubois5835]

I love this post. You absorbed Taylor's excellent phrase and used it perfectly. Also, I agree with what you said!

[@CuriousInquiror]

It's so refreshing to hear someone clarify that their W-2 job is not a "9-5"!! When talking about passion projects and side hustles, too many folks talk about navigating a "9-5" job... the only time it's 9-5 is if you're working from 9 AM to 5 AM, which is not unheard of if you're working in finance, consulting or big law, which is why I prefer the term "W2" job instead of "9-5"

[@lifeofconfidence]

❤❤❤🎉

[@Galbra1th]

Totally agree on the tip about finding a side hustle that ultimately energizes your "full time" role. I feel the same way about my YT channel, and find that as I engage and see growth with my channel, I feel even more inspired at work to be more productive so I can then make more time for creating!

[@angusz_]

Thanks for sharing your experiences. Love the point on always keeping focus on the long term goal of staying in consulting for 2 years. Nice to see that you found your creative energy highest on sunday and seeing this posted on a Sunday even today!

[@molecularbandit]

Need this. Trying to balance being a full time mom to 2 little ones, part time work-from-homer-er, while also building an exercise habit. Drop that knowledge!

[@kcdavis3812]

So happy you are making more content. I love your sense of humor and personality. You have a great presence on camera.

[@kcnicdao6305]

I love the way you articulate yourself. You’re super engaging & have such valuable insights. Keep up the work!!! There’s no one making videos like yours & I love em (:

[@TaylorBell]

so nice of you 🥹 thank you so much!!

[@ALPHAKAZUYA1]

Right on time Taylor. My current job truly sucks and just listening to you this morning has given me some much needed positive motivation. Thanks for being my early sunshine today Taylor!!!

[@fredonlineyt]

You are now officially my lunch break-must-watch-a-video while eating youtuber!

[@amichii19]

You're right, Taylor! I've been working on a side project for the last 5 months. I've been trying to implement that more and really need to find a focus day. Some days I just don't feel like doing anything. But small bits and pieces throughout the week can make all the difference.

[@Alcapone_001]

Most charismatic, beautiful and intelligent female youtuber seen🧠wish u all the best tay

[@ozatanvi]

Taylor, you're a master at creating videos that blend informative content with humour! Your videos are always a joy to watch, and I can't get enough of them! Keep up the fantastic work! 🌟

[@lizconnollycoaching]

Thank you for sharing this perspective and your honest reflection of the challenges.

[@requisitewhim]

Great stuff as usual. Your passion is infectious and inspiring me to follow in your footsteps

[@ChrisGaultHealthyLiving]

Awesome tips, Taylor! Keep being your awesome self!

[@IAmProcrastinating]

As an aspiring MBB FT applicant and aspiring content creator, your advice throughout the years has been awesome - thank you!

[@alan713812]

You are a consultant to all of us!! so you're already doing that job

[@mayaautorino]

As someone who is just starting off in consulting in new york and just started a youtube channel... I am so glad I found your channel! Loved this!

[@JenLauren]

PERFECT timing for me you have no idea!!! thank you for this!

[@Chris-ij8tb]

Great creative advice with efficient creation! I sometimes forget that video making and editing is itself art, but that advice is really helpful for me and music making. Nice video Taylor!

[@alejandrorodriguez4189]

Starting my morning with a new video from Taylor , thank you for sharing this and hope you have a wonderful weekend 🫶🐢

[@josephhall1049]

subbed when there were around 100k subs. the meteoric rise of that number is a testament to the effort that's being put in.

[@rahulthaker6]

Bravo Taylor! So much to learn about. Awesome Content, Keep going 🐢!

[@vaibhavkumararya9952]

Weekends are incomplete without your videos. I just love watching them❤❤😍😍

[@NorseMan633]

Taylor, your content is always so interesting, entertaining, and just fun. Besides all that, your smile just lights up the world. It's beautiful! Peace!

[@AFTstorm]

What a lot of aspiring entrepreneurs also have to realize is that sacrifices do have to be made. Yes, sometimes you will work a saturday night or a sunday afternoon when your friends are out and about. Thats is part of working for yourself. Does it have to be very weekend? No. What is important like you mentioned is that you take the time off when you feel like you physically or mentally need it. It’s imo the only way to have this be long term possible

[@luisdetomaso867]

I'm a pro trader who used to try to balance a corporate job with my trading. When I finally quit my corporate gig, my trading took off and I made more progress in one year than the past ten. I attribute it to the lack of mental distractions and increase of focus. I don't think people realize how much better you can get at something when your commitment is 100%. The number of creative epiphanies I had went up exponentially once I went all in on one project. I think a lot of it is subconscious. For example, when you are lying in bed at night, your brain has a single priority and is not spread across multiple tasks. If you wake up with a great idea, you can pursue it immediately and with full energy - instead of having to "go to the office" and interupt your creative flow

[@modi5843]

You speak so naturally that I would never guess that you use a script. Do you mean an outline of key points? Would you do a "BEHIND THE SCENES" VIDEO of what a script looks like, your writing process, and if you read the script verbatim from some sort or teleprompter?

[@ironwelder480]

Thanks for this video. Great info. I am former CAD designer turned Project Manager at Construction Company, no regrets. Learning PM was my side hustle, now it is my Career.

[@mbizozo6271]

Finding that effective window is important!

[@FeralFeminine]

Thank you for always doing the deep dive into your key talking points. I feel like so many on KZbin will just give the super high level, broad, generic point and leave followers asking “ok, and?” Thank you for all of the details!

[@titaniumffclub9122]

Fearal USA is hub of successful startups so do something great in this ecosystem. 🙏🙏

[@matthewwardrobe9588]

Really enjoyable video to watch as always. Interesting to listen to you talk about leveraging passion as this is something I use myself to balance my time between full time job and volunteering roles. Doing something because you wanted to do it can never be underestimated !

[@raihana.onfilm]

[@nathanyoder4509]

Thanks for the tips Taylor! Hope you are having a great weekend!

[@ggar9623]

i went all out with music, i dont have much money but i spend everyday playing with people and im happier than ive ever been, much more so than when i worked at a warehouse lifting furniture, and its not like i was swiming in money then either lol, i dont know if it has a lot to do with the video, but yeah, when you love something you become obsessed enough about it to put in the reps even when you dont feel like doing much, an instrument is basically like that, you "train" so you learn but youre having a blast while at it

[@harrytrading]

"Wow, you are absolutely stunning! Your beauty is truly captivating. I can't wait to keep watching your videos and see more of your amazing content. I'm getting addicted to your channel!"

Hey Taylor, I am also a fellow KZbinr. I'm still fairly new to the game. Do you do one on ones? I would love to pick your brain about branding on KZbin and just KZbin in general. I hope you see this ❤ ❤ ❤

[@palmsi]

You are my first vlogger for me. I want to learn English more. Thank you.

[@crashboat01]

Solid advice and generally agree. However, I definitely think risk mitigation should remain front and center. In the future, it would be great if you provided some stats on YT channel failure rates. Not to turn folks away but to highlight why a backup plan is a good idea.

[@GrowingonVancouverIsland]

Interesting perspective! Looking forward to your next video on creator life and insights

[@FahazMemon]

Your video editing skill is exceptional. Simpler and engaging.

[@TaylorBell]

Wow THANK YOU

[@matthuang21]

This video makes me feel seen 👀Couldn't agree more, esp about leveraging passion to make it feel like less of a burden or "second job" while working on KZbin in my limited spare time

[@PersianTravelista]

I needed this video so much because just today I felt like I was burning out on KZbin and felt very disappointed. This video made me dream again and motivated me ❤

Niceee I’ve been waiting for this!! Very much needed, been wondering about how you managed this since 2020 😁 Thank you so much for sharing! Couldn’t be more excited to have you as a fulltime youtuber now btw, I (have noticed and) love the increased content quantity (and quality, obv) 🙌🏻🐢

Are we gonna get a Taylor course in KZbin soon because I need to figure out the whole SEO stuff. Keep on getting emails about people wanting to do it for me but I don’t trust them.

[@HowardOfficial]

Great video today. I’m enthused to learn that I’m your 3rd oldest subscriber 🙂 Also, you indirectly taught me a new word today - that platitude you dropped about rising tide & boats is apparently an aphorism! Who knew 🤔

[@Denchik_Lite]

Finally, I am first🎉 Thanks for Video)

[@JeeshanTravels]

Thanks for sharing this. I can relate to this so closely as an engineering consultant. Consulting is not a 9to5 job so the general idea of doing KZbin on the side does not specifically apply to a consultant . Can you share how your peers and coworkers at the consulting firm were reacting to your increased involvement in KZbin and how you navigated those relationships prior to announcing that you were quitting? Also, how are your relationships with the consulting network at present, now that you are working KZbin full time? Hope my questions made sense.

[@247Me]

Taylor, do you see a future for a Small Consulting Business? For me, you are a great credible source to get this answer as you are quite honest 💓 about everything. Take Care ❤ God Bless You 🍀

[@symphoniez]

Going back to the Management Consultant well. A title slide with all the key tips upfront would of tied this home and made it clear. Maybe flash each one as you transitioned into each section. As it is currently - it was fun but a bit all over the place as it's unclear with what the takeaway tips were.

[@gumball3D]

Do what makes you fulfilled. I know I'd never survive the long hours and travel consulting involves. I try to work to live rather than the other way around.
