    From 22 to 26 I was working day jobs. I worked at Intel, then at Facebook, and finally at Mint.
    I had some cool experiences, but overall I was mostly unhappy because I wanted to start my own business, sooooo…. I kept quitting early or getting fired.
    If I could go back in time I would do things a little differently... and this is the video I wished I had when I felt stuck. I hope it will help give you some clarity on your entrepreneurial journey.
    Here are 2 BIG things I cover in this video:
    1. I’m going to show you how your day job is actually your best resource for starting your own company
    2. I’m going to give you steps to follow to go from full-time employee to full-time entrepreneur.
    And here’s the full story on how I got fired by Facebook: • My $1B Mistake: Why I ...

    "if you're asking when is the right time to quit, it's kinda the right time"
    Best advice.

    Taking the step to entrepreneurship is the hardest for most to make. Take it from the "older guy" in the room, don't dream about starting your business for 30 years. Just do it. Take that first step. Like Noah said, start it on the side and see where it goes. Don't wait and have regrets later in life!

    This is it..... It's the confirmation of being on the right path and the shift in mindset that I need. I can do both. I can appreciate the part my JOB is playing to build MY vision. Another great video. Thank you for sharing!

    Hey Noah! I have watched a lot of people talk about their younger selves and finding your niche in the world, but I haven’t identified myself as much as in this video. Being in those younger years I really am trying to take things at the appropriate pace, and your channel among others is giving little nuggets of gold to build on my wealth, physical or otherwise.

    I was a full time gardener in Palm Springs from 2011 to 2022 and I worked from 7am to 6pm I hated it and I never wanted to get a side hustle I got very bitter and my mindset wasn’t there, I just got a new job as a roffer and I’m loving my hours I work from 7am to 2pm and get paid fairly well with time to work on a side hustle and I want to do it too

    I completely agree: try it out, do it gradually. You make better decisions when you do things gradually and you can work one problem at a time. We should strive to enjoy the journey not focus so much on the destination.

      @@Vailslife Agreed, finish school - pursue a 9-5 you're passionate about, don't rely on the side hussle but give it your best go. Worst case scenario you do super well in an industry you enjoy turning up to every day, invest the spare cash wisely, enjoy the compounding interest. Best case scenario, your side hussle turns into your main hussle and you see that through.
