    Hey, even if things don't work out, it's better to regret TRYING than to regret NOT TRYING.

    The man in the arena, doing his utmost to achieve his dream is worthy of respect.
    If you believe in your dream, go chase it with both eyes open.

    I'm on a somewhat similar path, I'm building a social media presence, have a portfolio of mobile apps and still work a 9-5 job.
    Like you, I recognize to live the life I want -- I need to decouple my time from the ability to make money (through social media and code) and I won't get there by purely working a 9 to 5.
    I kept the 9-5 job while building on the side from 5am-8am in the mornings, I will get there -- just a lot slower.
    For me the most important thing in my life is my family.
    My kids don't care how much money I have, the car I drive, or the size of the house we live in.
    What they care about is - does dad love me & does he spend time with me? And it's probably the same for your kids too.
    I make sure to prioritize that.
    I still choose to pursue content creation and running a business b/c it's something I want to do and I know I would be setting a poor example for my kids if I didn't actively pursue what makes me happy.
    You're on the right track - keep going.

    Money without Freedom is slavery. To escape the matrix your goal needs to be: make it or die trying, no plan b, no "what if". Believe in yourself and put everything on the line! The biggest gamble in your life cause you might not make it and had wasted your life trying. But hey never quitting and not making it is still way better than hitting 65, then a year after sitting at a cardiologist office while awaiting confirmation for a possible bypass surgery wondering what would've happened if I did try. This is the video I needed. I'm also feeling a bit like this with doubts but once I realize the insane potential I have to achieve financial freedom and roam the earth all doubts go away.

    Thanks for being honest Dorian.
    Far too many people selling the "Dream" make it seem that
    it is easy and can be done in a short time.
    Usually these are the same people selling business courses.
    Nothing wrong with that... but escaping the matrix is VERY hard,
    especially if you come from a poor social-economic background.
    The "rags to riches" story is hard to achieve.

    It is made especially this way, to make you question your decisions. Time is the most precious thing that we have and you spending it with your family and creating memories is priceless, worth more than all the money and material things in the world. Keep it up and strive towards your goals, dreams and freedom! Thank you for sharing!
    P.S.: The other people used to the comfort and stability provided by "the system" are trying to pull you back in. It's not their fault to a degree, it's just the programing they went to from the time they were kids.

    What you feel is completely valid. Unfortunately we have been conditioned by people (who tend to mostly be neopotism babies) to believe grinding in a deadend job is how they got to where they are; as if they really crawled up the ladder to the top, when the vast majority haven't worked any of the general "entry level" job, or at least not for very long. It's a mindset a LOT of us need to recondition ourselves out of which is a STRUGGLE with the current state of the economy. As long as you can look back and feel proud of where you are now compared to where you were before, and you know you're in a relatively secured place even if you don't FEEL secure because of a risk you're taking; you know it's a calculated one that you're taking to better your life (and your family's) in the long run and that's what's important. Plus you know you always have things to fall back to because of the skills you have developed, worst case scenario. ☺️
    Frankly the most judgemental people are the ones who chose to accept living the "rat race" because "that's just the way it is. Deal with it", and seeing people willing to fight for something different for their own happiness is simply threatening to their ego. 🤷🏾‍♀️
    You're doing great. Keep it up 🫶🏾

    I'm in the same situation. I've planned to go full time soon, but my contract "ended" now so I had to rethink. Initially, I started searching for a new 9-5 role. The process reminded me how much I hate that. Employment sucks. Unless you're a yes-man willing to go above and beyond for something that's not yours, never to be recognized financially (pat on the back does not count) and you like being treated like a bio-machine that's 5 years old. So I'll try to go with what I have and grow from there, doing what has worked before. I'll leave new ideas for later. Good luck!

Don't think too much of consequences, just do it! its better to fail than to never trying pursuing something you truly want! You at least took the initiative, keep going 👍👍.

    • @halowaffles
      @halowaffles Před 3 měsíci +3

      Of course, but there are fewer and fewer jobs where a 9-5 is worth it, considering how most corporations/businesses are entirely overstepping and treating their employees as even WORSE than *just* cogs in a machine. The job space is becoming entirely unruly. If you have a 9-5 that supplies what you need - and doesn't make you want to kill yourself - then hold onto that job tightly, as those jobs are becoming more and more rare.

I’m lucky that my job isn’t a hellhole and that it pays okay. Maybe someday I’ll be an entrepreneur, but now I’m where you were 11 months ago when you made that video about how being a CZcamsr fulltime didn’t pan out. I’m a nurse btw so different industry. We will be in demand for a long time and don’t have to worry about AI replacing us anytime soon.

    I'm also trying to break free from 9-5 but it's just my personal preference - I don't think of myself as superior or above anyone who is happy doing 9-5, for many people it's the ideal work/life solution. Good for them, I'm just doing my own thing and I'm not shitting on people who aren't trying to do what I'm doing.

    IMO, do what you feel is right, and don't think that the 9-5 is a safe bet either, consider what all these new AI applications will do to software development. IMO you are better off taking risks like these and starting your own business, than coasting in life and being a victim of the changing tides of technology.

    Dorian, I think you have a little misconception about entrepreneurship, you are associate it a lot with freedom and tell that you want spend more time with family. But it’s very and very often totally opposite, because then you are gonna work not 9-5 but 24/7 many entrepreneurs working constantly and have pressure and stress all the time not only from 9-5. We see many stories from social media how it’s good and cool to be a businessmen but nobody show the hustle part and grinding.
    I see from you that you don’t want slave yourself to 9-5, but I don’t see any cool ideas from you how to break through, and escape the matrix, what’s the plan ? I see that you don’t want something, but I don’t see what’s your purpose and passion ? What’s the plan ? I think you are lacking this part, the part about plan.

    Dorian, you are letting the Matrix win buddy.
    You will not brake the "code" by becoming filthy rich, lay down on your huge boat all day watching your kids dive of it.
    Yes your children need their parent's guidance to become good humans, but they don't need them all day long but at key moments.
    I can see you point, have been following you for couple of years now and you have grown on many levels.
    The fkin money won't make you brake the Matrix, you need to brake it for yourself by understanding its kernel and hacking it's rules, it's not about money.
    No amount of money will ever make you feel ANY happier, sitting all day without doing some type of labor won't make you happier either, growing will.
    The Matrix is real but it's within you, no one else will help you beat it, any amount of gold, bitcoins, drugs, guns or women.
    Life doesn't feel real, and its not particularly well faked actually. I get exactly what you're feeling, you are on a right path on that one.
    Don't mind me, I`m just a crazy old man:)
