  • Title
    I quit my job without a plan and although it worked out in my favor, it is not something that I would suggest to others. In this video I cover the top things that you should do before you quit your job. What steps should you take before putting in your notice? In this video I share the things that I think are most important and share my story for how and why I quit.

    I’m in nursing school and I been struggling with working overnights and going to school those following mornings. It’s taken a toll on my mental and physical health. I want to quit but I don’t want to be homeless. My university is in a rural small town with limited job opportunities. Adulting really sucks when you’re a poor college student.

    Thanks for saying this in a responsible way. I think there are a lot of videos promoting this concept of “just quit” but people don’t mention the harsh question ... “can you afford to quit”. Don’t stay just to stay but why quit just to be more stressed about how to survive. Unpopular opinion but I appreciate you’re guidance ☺️

    • @girlanonymous
      @girlanonymous Před 2 lety +4

      Yes, like the girl on another channel I just watched who quit but then moved back in with her mother (so she has a safely net). Some (like me) can't move back in to anywhere because I'm not close to my family at all. We don't even see each other for holidays so i know they are not letting me sit up in their homes paying no rent figuring out life, LOL. I saved six months rent, phone payments, laundry money, transportation, internet bills - six months of all that. So when I finally have had enough, I will at least be able to pay rent for six months lol.

    Sounds like you learned a lot because of this experience. I agree with 100%. I planned all 2020 to leave my job in 2021. I’m an RN and working 40 plus hours a week during Covid. I saved a ton of money during that year (lockdowns). I just stopped buying stuff and worked like a fiend. I think I experienced adrenal fatigue and burnout. I’m still on call there so will still work up to three days a week. I got all dental and MD visits taken care of knowing I was leaving. I tried doing self care but being on my feet for 10 hours a shift and wearing a 5 layer N95 mask was just too draining. The only solution was to work on call. I’m 47 now so I think I’m just doing to transfer to semi retirement. I think all your tips are great. The number one is “have a plan”. Good job and you are beautiful!!!!

    I quit my well paying corporate without another job, but I did build up my online coaching business and my CZcams channel while still in the job.
    I never suggest anybody to take the LEAP but rather advice to make a transition so that there's no loss of MONEY.
    We need money and it's too important.
    I'm not saying money makes you happy (I made a video about that), but the truth is we need money, so I didn't jump, I made a plan and then, after a bit of time and part-time work, I said ''GOODBYE''
    Whoever is here and stuck in a job, make a PLAN and take action NOW before you get older with regrets!

    I've watched a number of presentations on this subject, and I must say, your presentation is by far the most informative and offers wise counsel on the do's and don't do's. I have mad respect for that. You remind me of a time I worked in a toxic environment and endured 2 years of the most toxic people ever in my career. I didn't have the courage to quit, but I was blessed to find something that was far less toxic and offered me time to heal without losing a beat financially. Bless you my sister...Keep the journey and thanks for the content.

I feel guilty to my coworkers (who are wonderful), and I'd miss them SO much. But the job... UGH. It's just a job. Not a career. Data entry. Blegh. I have the skills to transition to making at least SOME money from art. Just gotta grow the cajones to actually take the jump.

    1. Have a saving fund ready to sustain when you jump ship, have a saving account ready with stacks plan and save ahead of the leap.
    2. Make use of your skills and learn to develop in your current role as much as possible to you ready for a new role with more confidence and greater skill sets.
    3. Have side hustle / another stream of income/ multiple streams of income so your not stuck when you leap.
    4. Reflect on why you want to leave, weigh up the pros and cons - make sure it’s the right choice and be confident in that choice.
    Knowing the pros and cons can allow you to not fall in the same hole 🕳 again.
    5. Utilise the staff benefits of the environment your in
    6. Have greater levels of self care, this depends on how depressing the environment is and the toll it takes on you. Minimise self neglect whilst there and try to remain productive and positive.
    7. Set a plan have a exit strategy.
