0:02 imagine waking up every day with
0:04 complete control over your time doing
0:07 work you love and feeling free that's
0:09 exactly what I'm working toward and why
0:11 I quit my 9 to-5 job to start building
0:13 the life of my dreams if you've ever
0:16 felt stuck or uninspired or like there's
0:18 something more out there for you then
0:21 this is the video for
0:23 you hi I'm Hannah and I've been working
0:25 in the it and tech industry in project
0:28 management and coordination for the past
0:31 5 plus years but deep down I always knew
0:33 that I wanted something different I
0:35 wanted freedom and not just Financial
0:37 Freedom of course that that would be
0:40 great but freedom of time and purpose so
0:43 December 2024 I made the most scary but
0:45 exciting decision of my life and that
0:49 was to quit my very stable safe night to
0:52 five job with nothing but Savings of
0:55 course and a dream to build a life I
0:57 love so I found myself going through the
1:00 motions working long hours feeling
1:03 drained not feeling energized constantly
1:05 uninspired and even though I didn't have
1:08 a very heavy workload at work I still
1:11 felt burnt out because there was this
1:14 value missing and I constantly wondered
1:16 if this was all life had to offer I knew
1:18 I had more potential I also knew that
1:21 staying comfortable wasn't going to
1:24 unlock it I needed to step out of my
1:26 comfort zone and do something completely
1:28 different which is very scary territory
1:30 for me because literally since I I left
1:33 school I have worked I've never been out
1:36 of work which I'm very grateful for but
1:38 it's just making this so experience even
1:40 more nerve-wracking while I was working
1:43 I was always craving creativity
1:45 flexibility and the chance to build
1:47 something on my own and I've had this
1:50 desire of escaping trading time for
1:52 money and that's when I decided to take
1:55 a leap of faith so this is my plan so I
1:57 don't completely hate the work that I
1:58 was doing before but I definitely
2:00 believe I was in the wrong sector so I
2:02 would like to go freelance with my
2:03 project management and coordination just
2:05 working for companies that I feel like I
2:08 could genuinely add value like I love
2:10 books for something like publishing I
2:12 love beauty so beauty or Cosmetics
2:14 company but the thing is with being
2:16 freelance I am going to have to pitch
2:18 myself put myself out there let people
2:20 know who I am which I've never done
2:23 before this year is all about stepping
2:25 out of my comfort zone I also love
2:27 creating content I've been creating some
2:29 content on Tik Tok for the past year so
2:31 I'd love to build more of an online
2:33 presence on Tik Tok Instagram and of
2:36 course I'm here so YouTube and again my
2:37 content creation will be focused around
2:39 things that I love and where I feel like
2:41 I could provide value like lifestyle
2:43 self-development and Beauty I've set
2:46 some very clear and extremely ambitious
2:48 goals for myself to grow an audience to
2:51 build a community it's not easy and I
2:54 have absolutely zero guarantees but I'm
2:56 committed to making it happen because I
2:59 believe in my vision now I'm going to be
3:03 completely be honest I am a Serial
3:04 procrastinator one of my biggest
3:07 challenges is staying disciplined it's
3:09 very easy to feel excited in the
3:11 beginning but what happens when that
3:14 excitement Fades or maybe I'm not seeing
3:15 as much progress as fast as I want to
3:17 see it that's where I've learned that
3:19 discipline is everything I have to
3:22 remind myself daily why I'm doing this
3:25 and stay focused on the bigger picture
3:27 because once upon a time I was not
3:28 consistent with the gym at all I
3:30 couldn't wake up I would go
3:31 twice a month to the gym membership I
3:34 was paying for and now I wake up every
3:36 day at the crack of dawn to go to the
3:39 gym so I know how to build a habit I
3:41 know how to stay disciplined but when it
3:42 comes to certain things especially
3:44 something really big that's a whole
3:46 another story a big part of this this
3:48 overcoming fear of judgment and failure
3:50 I also know that I have to stay
3:51 financially responsible while I'm
3:53 building my dream which is why I've made
3:56 a whole spreadsheet of my expenses my
3:58 monthly and weekly budget I'll also have
4:02 the battle any self-doubt that I have
4:04 along the way and just stay focused on
4:06 the end goal if you're thinking about
4:08 making any kind of big change in your
4:11 life I want to say start now even if
4:13 it's small if you're doing if you're
4:15 planning on doing something really crazy
4:17 like me like quitting your job have an
4:18 action plan how much money do you need
4:20 to have in your savings what do you want
4:22 to do when you quit your job build a
4:25 foundation where you have stability
4:26 because that will just up your
4:29 confidence and most importantly stay
4:32 true to your vision because no one else
4:34 can create the life that you want for
4:36 you definitely be clear on your why
4:38 because it will get you through those
4:41 tough times I know I've just started but
4:42 this is constantly what I've been
4:44 telling myself and don't let fear of
4:47 judgment stop you from going after you
4:48 want you have to realize at the end of
4:51 the day you are the one that's waking up
4:53 every day in your shoes living your life
4:56 no one else anyway I wanted to keep this
