 Big question, should you quit your job? Well, in this video, you're about to find out. So this is a question probably everyone comes across in their life, regardless of who you are. At some point in your life, you have worked for somebody, or you are working for somebody, depending on if you are self-employed or entrepreneur, et cetera. But at the end of the day, this question is important for a lot of people, and that is, should you quit your job? Now, there's no black and white answer. It all depends on your situation. You know, do you have a family support? Are you single? Where do you live? What are your goals are? You get it? Right, it's complicated. However, there are a criteria of questions you can ask yourself to kind of prepare yourself for the future to create a plan, because no matter what you wanna do in life, you need a plan. You wanna build a house, you need a plan. You wanna build a business, you need a plan. You wanna build your body, get in shape, you need a plan. You want a good diet, you need a plan, plan, plan. Without planning, well, you're like a chicken with your head cut off, right? So you need to have organizational skills or critical thinking. And so the first question I like to ask myself, or you should ask yourself when it comes to should you quit your job is this, do you find it enjoyable? That's, you know, anything you do in life, you should find enjoyable. If you go to the gym, find enjoyable. Working with your peers, find it enjoyable. So you need to ask yourself, when you go to work and at work, how do you find that process? Are you enjoying working with your peers? Are you enjoying the process of work? And when you come home, are you bringing negative energy back home? Because if you are, then this is not gonna last very long. It's gonna beat you up spiritually. It's gonna beat you up emotionally and it's gonna beat you up physically. Now, like I said, there's no black and white answers. Not simply, oh, yeah, I don't like this situation. I'm gonna leave. No, I'm not telling you that. But this is the first question I ask from the energetic, emotional, spiritual and physical, do you enjoy working at your job? That's number one. Number two is a mind fuck for a lot of people. Is are you too comfortable in your job? See, now we're going polarities over here. Number one is miserable. Number two is euphoric. Because there is a saying as Nassim Tlaib let's say the two biggest addictions in life is number one is heroin and number two is a steady salary. And so if you find yourself in a position, and this is why there's a lot of issues in like big union or bureaucratic jobs, because it's just way too cushy and they don't wanna leave, but basically they're not learning any new skills. So ask yourself, are you too comfortable in your job? Are you learning things in your job? Are you building skills? Are you networking better? Are you moving up the ladder of your life? And a lot of people find themselves in a situation, as I mentioned, whether it's like a high bureaucratic job or a union job or other examples where they're just too comfortable and they're not moving in life. They think it's safe. They think they're playing the safe way. And there's a saying by Joseph Campbell, he who thinks he knows doesn't know. He who knows, he doesn't know, knows. And so you're not gonna really evolve or grow when you're in this position. You're pretty much addicted to this position. Your skills won't grow, your knowledge won't grow, your network won't grow. Nothing's gonna grow and you're stagnant. You are the status quo and you will be the first thing replaced once automation and all these other things happen. You cannot adapt to the ecosystem that you're in, the economy, the everything. You cannot adapt. You're just, you're living in a like DOS mode as opposed to being update a new software. So that's a second question you gotta ask yourself. The third question you gotta ask yourself is, is this a means to an end? Everything in life has to have a means to an end. There's not finality in life, meaning you're not gonna be doing the same thing for the rest of your life, especially in this new economy. More and more things are going to gig economy. Economy is moving rapidly, skills. The number one, I would say power and this applies throughout the history of human civilization is he who can learn the fastest and adapt the fastest wins. In nature, it's not about who's smarter or who's stronger. It is who can adapt better in their environment. And so you gotta ask yourself, at your current job, is this a means to an end? If it is a means to an end, great. You already know the answer, should you quit your job? The answer would be yes, maybe so, depending on the timing. Maybe timing is right, then you leave. That was a means to an end. So you gotta analyze the job you're in. Are you developing skills for a means to an end? Is this a stepping stone position for a next position? Is this a stepping stone company for the next company? Or is this a foot in the door? You know, a lot of people leaving college university, they need a foot in the door because they have zero fucking, zero experience in life. So they gotta get some experience. So you gotta really dig in and see if there's a means to an end. There has to be a means in and everything. Everything that you do. This is not the end all to be all. There has to be something next. So that's the third question you're gonna ask yourself. The fourth question you gotta ask yourself is this. And it's an important question. Are you feeling too burnt out? Because there are amazing jobs out there where the salary is fantastic. You are learning amazing stuff. You're not status quo. The things are moving rapidly and you are just burning out. It's just you can't handle it too much. You're working 18 hours a day for whatever company and you're burning the candles on both ends. You have an amazing pay. You might be supporting your family, whatever. But how long can you keep this up? How long can you keep this up? I always say health is the most important commodity in life, health and time. It's hard to buy those two things. You can buy good healthcare. You can get access to good doctors and medicine but it's hard to reverse health. It's very hard. It's not impossible but it's very difficult. And so you can't buy time. It's very difficult to reverse health. And so these are the two things that we just throw out that's free. It's like yeah, health, forget about it. Somehow magically it's gonna come back. Time, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, time's free. Time's the most important commodity we have. It's non-renewable, literally it's non-renewable. You cannot buy back time. You can only buy future time. And so if you're burning out and killing yourself, listen, you gotta ask yourself a question. It's like how long can you continue this? Make a plan to slowly downgrade your crazy levels of working, okay? And finally, number five relates to context. Remember context is key. If you have a family that you're supporting and you have a mortgage and you have kids, it's gonna be much different than if you're single by yourself living a bachelor pad. You know what I mean? And you gotta plan accordingly. If you are this individual that's supporting a family and you went through these questions, you gotta plan accordingly. And it's all about optionality. Most humans we think very binary, right? We look at an option and we see AB. We look at an option and we think there's only one way to answer this. But in reality, there's many different optionality. This is just how the mind works. We would view a job and we think, oh, I'm just gonna quit this. Or I'll give the example right now, you're killing yourself, burning the candle, both ends. You say, I'm just gonna quit or, you know, what else I'm gonna do? When in reality, you need to map out the options you have, right? So in the case of you're working too much and a family to support, maybe there's other options. Maybe you can talk to your boss or employer about a different position. Maybe you can negotiate, you need help. Maybe you can hire an assistant to help you because you're such a good performer. Like people like, guys, listen, companies need the best performance. If you're A plus player in a company, you're hired anywhere. Doesn't matter what trade you are. Like if you are a salesperson, if you are an engineer, if you're a marketer, it doesn't matter. If you are A plus people or A plus person, there's headhunters looking out there to headhunt you to bring you to the next company. Talent wins, period. Doesn't matter how much money you raise or how good your product is, talent always wins. Right, you need to fucking talent. And so you gotta map out the optionality. That person who's a single dude living by himself in a bachelor pad, he doesn't have anyone to support. He can take big risks. He can literally say, I quit today and go somewhere else because he's not paying for a mortgage. He's not paying for kids. He's not supporting anybody as opposed to that. And the other individual has support or he is supporting somebody. So you gotta map it out, guys. Like, listen, life in general is about auditing what's going on in your life and asking really, really good questions. And it's a heuristic. It's a checklist that you have to do. You have to literally write down these questions and these are simple four or five questions, man. You can go down, you can ask yourself 10 questions. It really doesn't matter. What matters most is the process that you're going through. It's actually not the questions. It's a critical thinking process that the questions force you to think a certain way. And so you write down questions and you write down possible answers for the questions and you create a diagram. You map out what are the options that you have and then you figure out what is the best option in my context of my life? Am I married? If I'm single, where do I live? What are the opportunities I have? And this is how you approach life in anything. It doesn't matter if you're an entrepreneur or if you're not happy at your job or if you're looking to start a business or if you are a contractor, it really doesn't matter. These questions or the way that you approach with critical thinking applies to anything that you do in life. And I'll leave you with that, guys. It's quite simple. There's no black and white answer, like everything in life. And leave a comment below this video. I wanna know your thoughts like always.
