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 ☺️
@2legit2Kwit
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 YouTube 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!
@bashirauwal5825
After nearly 9 years as a registered nurse, I retired two years ago. It was not an easy decision, but life is too short to dread going to work every day. No amount of money can buy real happiness Lol. But, friends, I'm not asking you to quit your work or forsake your business, but rather be wise!
@iamtstamps
That "taking better care of yourself" part, that right there, is something I really need to do.
@sweetjessiegii
I am not in tech but am an up and coming hairstylist. I had quit my job thinking i would back in back in January now here i am back in a raggedy ass call center working again HOWEVER now we have a solid plan, we know better so we are doing better lol thanks for sharing this.
@middlechamber3574
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.
@BassimaMadi
Soo true, learning the skills while at your job really can make the transition much smoother after!
@VintageAfro91
I am SO glad you are making this transparent video! I'm currently in the planning stages of quitting my job by December 2023 and I am planning my exit and clawing my way out, but YES, I definitely am going to have a savings account specifically for quitting my job. I'm already fantasizing about it, but I'm determined to do it the smart way to avoid additional stress of not having enough money saved for my expenses.
@YellingMongoose
This video could not have found me at a more relevant time. Massive respect to you...thanks for sharing your journey and your tips. I’ve recently handed in my resignation - but now rather than brooding on what I hated about my job....I’m going to use my notice period to its fullest and to reconnect with old contacts etc.
@lovedskinbeauty
Girl im dying to quit my job 😫 but i have to be patient and keep working hard into my small business to make it possible.
@crownedbycurls
Make sure you use all your sick pay before quitting then put in a notice. PTO they pay out, sick they don’t. So don’t leave any money sitting on the table.
@carbro_320
Great advice, I was planning on quitting on August 31, but I'll do it on December 31👍🏾. I also got a mentor (paid) to deal with workplace toxic personalities.
@angieartness123
I have about 10-months-worth of savings due to procrastinating quitting, lol. I still have such cold feet about quitting (haven't quit yet). 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.
@thechemi5083
I just quit my job at McDonald's saved up like 1500 but spent it on rent and Christmas ..now im broke. Wish I'd saved more money , next time i will plan better.
@MzNoir_Rain444
As they say hindsight is 20/20. You made the best decision for yourself at the time💗
@Monique670
Too many people step out on fear and not faith
@RazeenRed
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. 👍🏾
@huangzhichao8213
Totally agree with you! Add more source of incoming if you dont have a plan before quitting as well as save "F** Money" are super important.
