For this video, just sit back. Don't keep flicking around trying to get the answer quickly. Just sit back, relax, put it full screen, take your hands off the phone or the computer and let just, just let yourself, just be slow and listen to my words fully. And this will be way more helpful this way. **[0:22]:** If your mental health is bad right now, it's usually just because of the things you've been spending your time on over the last few weeks. Bad mental health is as simple as that. Just what have you spent your time on in the last few weeks? And for the kind of guy that I really want to help with this video, Kitty. Whoa. **[0:44]:** What a little asshole. She almost dropped my mug. Go on, get out of here. For the kind of guy I want to, I want to help with this video. The single biggest thing that's really interesting, I want to give you some unique piece of advice. **[0:58]:** The single thing that I think would boost your mental health that I need to help you with is quitting your job. Because there's tons of young guys who are about 21, 22 years old working a full time job, you know, working 8 hour shifts, 10, 12 hour shifts, making like 1 or 2k a month. You know, maybe it's full time, 5 days a week, or maybe it's like part time, 2 days a week or whatever. That's the single biggest thing that will be reducing your mental health by far, bro. That will reduce your mental health more than for example, having like a mid physique or more than, you know, a girl rejecting you. **[1:36]:** Because as we all know, like a girl rejecting you is something that, you know, it's not actually that bad of a thing. And we learn and we're excited to improve. Having a mid physique isn't that bad because we're inspired for more progress. But the single thing that I see with a bunch of young guys who watch this video is that they're simply just working a job that they just despise. And for a lot of you guys, you're not working jobs, but you're in like school or university, whatever. You're basically spending a lot of your time on something like, you know, like, like school, work, career, which isn't part of the thing that you actually want to do. And that's the single thing that's gonna negatively impact your mental health more than anything else. That's the thing that you need to, to fix. Kitty's in like such a playful, aggressive little mood right now. **[2:31]:** Come on. **[2:33]:** She thinks these are like, like a mouse or Something. She goes like crazy for it. I'm just gonna put it on the side. Otherwise she's gonna be a little. **[2:44]:** So that's the single thing I see. Either you're working a job two to five days a week. It might be a normal job, or it might be one with your family or some. Or it's like studies, school, college, university, those. Hey, Kitty. **[3:01]:** What a little. Sorry about that, bro. She wants you to have mental health, bro. Kitty just said kill yourself, bro. **[3:15]:** Yeah, so that's the Bro. It's how you spend your time is of course, gonna dictate your mental health more than any other factor. Seriously, like, think about what I'm saying here. More than any other factor, it's simply just how you're spending your time. And the great bulk of your time is spent in school, college, university, or in a job. **[3:39]:** And that's the greatest source of misery for a young person. Our misery isn't about, like, you know, we're in a rut right now in self improvement. Our physique's not looking so good, or we haven't spoke to a girl for a few weeks. Like, that's. That's a part of it for sure. Like, you know, leveling up in. That would make you happier, for sure. But our misery is more like the fact that you're just spending, like, days exhausted. Exhausted because of school, university, job, those things. And so for the guys who. The issue is like, okay, you know, you're working a job, just think about it this way. The job is decreasing your mental health substantially, right? And as we all know, mental health is like, the priority. It's like, like level zero. Because without good mental health, you can't even do level one self improvements like socializing, looks, maxing and fitness and getting girls and whatever. **[4:30]:** Because, like, you just feel. And without good mental health, and you don't even have the capability to be productive and whatever. So we want to get our mental health to, like, a good place, right? **[4:41]:** The. The negative impact on your mental health from your work or, like, you know, your job like a job or, you know, you're in university because your parents are making you or some like that. You know, you're spending a lot of your time doing some. The impact on your mental health is like 10 out of 10. Like, that's terrible for your mental health. But think about the alternative. Imagine if we just made you quit your job right now and you were suddenly no longer getting that income, so you couldn't spend, you know, you couldn't save up or spend like 1k a month, 2k a month or whatever. **[5:14]:** Or you wouldn't have the degree in the future, how bad would that be for your mental health? If you didn't get a degree, like it basically a useless degree in the future, how bad would it be for your mental health? It wouldn't be bad like at all. Because if you get the degree or you don't get the degree these days, like the, the university degree or even like the school qualifications literally makes no difference to your level of success. Especially if you're someone who wants to like make money online, be an entrepreneur or whatever. **[5:38]:** So how much would it negatively impact your life if for example, you don't finish school or university? Zero. Like you know, there'd be a positive upside that you'll save so much time. Mental health, whatever. Sure, at brain points as well, you know, you start going hard on business now. But like the, the negative would be zero. Like if you didn't get. Imagine if like the, the two or three year version of you in the future didn't have a degree, how bad would his mental health be because of that? Like zero. Like it wouldn't make a difference. You know what I mean? The same with the job, right? You're working this job right now, many of you guys who are quite young and this is like the greatest source of misery. And if you weren't working this job, bro, you'd have so much time to do everything you wanted. **[6:18]:** You'd spend maybe the first month or two just enjoying yourself, going to the gym more and relaxing a bit more, catching up on sleep. And then after that you'd start locking in on probably making money online. And then you can really achieve like, you know, the big goal, online income. So how bad would your mental health be if you're working a job you dislike? 10 out of 10 bad. Like that's one of the worst things for your mental health. Okay, how bad would your mental health be if you quit your job and you no longer had the income from that job so you couldn't really spend money on like, you know, new things? **[6:49]:** Probably not bad at all. Right, right. The, the downside of leaving these things that are stealing your time are actually very minimal. Like how life changing is it that your parents would shout at you for two days if, for example, you quit university or you quit your job? How life changing is that? **[7:14]:** That's probably a 0 out of 10 life changing. Like it's not life changing at all. Your parents shout at you anyway for. So your parents shouting at you for two Days because you randomly quit your job or you dropped out of uni or something. That's not life changing at all because your parents are just assholes anyway. Right? Okay, so it makes basic. Basically there's no difference in you sort of, you know, taking back control of your time. How life changing would it be if you did drop out of university or you did quit your job and you had these peak youth years, these highest energy years of your life to go and then pursue your real goals? Well, that would be actually 10 out of 10 life changing because you're at the earliest, most highest leverage points of your life. **[7:58]:** You know, you going from like a normal job or let's say you know, no income to making a couple K a month online is like a 0 to 1, like a 10 out of 10 difference. You know, going from 10K a month to 100K a month is still nice, but it's not like a 10 out of 10 difference, it's like a 3 out of 10 difference. You know, because you've already got the business freedom, whatever, you know, you've scaled it up. Sure it's nice, you can help, you know, your family more and whatever, but generally it's like making the first few K a month online is the biggest thing or taking control of your life and your, your time is the biggest thing. So do you see what I mean by this is like the trade off isn't worth it. **[8:30]:** The risk, the downside to you leaving these things is very minimal. Most of the time you leaving these things that are sapping your time, that are destructing your mental health, they quite literally will result in like a 0 out of 10 life changing problem. On the sense of like it's not life changing at all. You know, the negativity of like oh yeah, but my parents will shout at me. Okay, your parents shout at you anyway. **[8:57]:** What else? Oh well, you know, then I won't have the income from the job, so I won't be able to buy. Okay, buy what? By what? What do you really need right now? **[9:05]:** Because if you're quite young, which a lot of you guys are who watch this, you probably need like what, like 1k per year. **[9:16]:** Many of you guys live in countries that would actually give you that money anyway, right? You live in like a first world country. You can just like go on like in UK we call it universal credit, like government wealth welfare. You can just go on that whilst you make money online. Like in the uk you can just apply for it and then just like, you know, try and build up a business at the same time and you'll get like 200 bucks a month or 200 pounds a month. **[9:38]:** So like why not just do that? Like think about that. Why not just do that? If you live in a country where you can apply for like, like government welfare, why not just quit your job, apply for it. And usually they make you go and do like, you know, job interviews and whatever, but then you go in and select that you want to be self employed and you're working on a business and so you don't have to show that you've been going to job interviews because you're making a business. **[9:59]:** So then you're just like getting 100 or 200 pounds a month for free from the government instead of like you know, making 1k a month or 2k a month from a job. It's not money that you need right now, it's just time and energy and you know, like just using your brain points to achieve your dreams. You know what I mean? It doesn't make sense what you're doing right now, what so many guys are doing. Your spending like the most valuable years of your life, like this is your youth. You're not going to get this youth, this age back. You know, getting old is not a bad thing. Like I'm quite enjoying getting older and older but you're never going to have like more sort of high energy youth than you do right now. And wasting that, wasting the hours and the days on something you don't even want to do just because you're afraid of what your parents say is, is incredibly gay. **[10:51]:** Imagine how happy you're gonna feel overall. **[10:55]:** Your parents are angry at you, but you've got all your time free to go and pursue your business. So your parents are being. But every day you grab your laptop and you go to the cafe to work, for example, if your parents are being annoying, you'd be so happy. Even if your parents are being and arguing with you every day, you'd be so happy pursuing your real goal, right? If you left your job and your parents are angry or if you left university and your parents are angry overall, even if your parents are angry and obviously that make doesn't feel so good overall you'd be happier doing that because of the fact that you'd go and spend 10 hours a day, you know, grinding for the real thing that you want to build or you know, grinding in like the life you want to have, you know, So I, I went through this exact same thing, right with really bad mental health back at the start of 2020 I was working a job. **[11:42]:** Well at, at the end of 2019 I was working like this full time customer service job, like this office job five days a week. Started at like 9am or maybe 8:30 or something, but it ended at 6:30. Like there was like a one hour unpaid lunch break. So I'm pretty sure from what I remember it was nine or ten hours. But you know, so you're getting like ripped off extra. **[12:04]:** And bro, every day it felt like I was like at my end it felt like every day I was contemplating like leaving or like, you know, like I just couldn't handle it. Bro, it was so depressing. Like the weekends would go by so fast. I'd cheat on my diet more. I'd come back home and all I want to do is just like binge eat and everything because I was really just upset and I had this goal to like, you know, be a content creator and also to spend more time in the gym and whatever. **[12:32]:** And I would just have to like sacrifice what I wanted to do because I was working this job and get this, I was working this job. And that's when I learned something which I think is so important. If you're working a job, this is going to help you. And if you're not working a job, just learn this anyway because it's super interesting. There's something called lifestyle inflation, which is basically where when you make more money, you spend more money. **[12:57]:** Everyone thinks that won't happen to them, but it will. Like for example, let's say you're unemployed and you have like 100 bucks a month from your parents. You'll spend maybe about 100 bucks or maybe like 60 bucks a month, you know, on random like your phone bill, whatever. Let's say now you get a job and you make 1.2k a month, you won't still only spend 60 bucks a month on your phone bill, right? If you got a job, what would you do? Well, you start spending more money. You'd buy those trainers, those shoes, you'd buy the new AirPods. You buy this thing. You'd spend you know, money on the lunch at work instead of eating at home like you normally do and then the traveling thing or whatever. So you, you'd, you'd almost believe that. Oh yeah, I make like 1.2k a month extra than what I did before. **[13:36]:** But actually you'll probably spend easily over £600. 600amonth? Just like because of the fact that you make money and you're almost like spending money to sort of like enjoy life more because you're not really enjoying the way that you make the money. So when we make more money, especially in a way that we don't really enjoy, so the job or, you know, like university is kind of similar. **[13:57]:** And people do this with businesses as well. They start a business they don't even enjoy. They. The problem is you start spending way more of the money to kind of still kind of enjoy life because you're spending your time working in a job that you don't like. So when you think that, okay, Well, I make 1k a month or 2k a month, you actually kind of don't because of the fact that you work this job that you don't like, you're spending an extra like £700amonth or something. So you make less than you think, first of all. So that's lifestyle inflation. When you make more money, you'll spend more money. Simple. **[14:29]:** No one had, had mentioned this. **[14:31]:** I learned this like, you know, six years ago, 2020, but no one had talked about what. I just, I think I came up with it, but I'm sure I didn't. I'm sure other people talked about it, but I never saw anyone talk about it. That's lifestyle inflation. Inflation is when things kind of go up. **[14:44]:** I thought to myself, wait, hang on, what about lifestyle deflation? What would happen if you started to make less money? Well, then you would spend less, right? So imagine you make 2k a month in your job. So you spend like, you know, 1k on like an apartment and 700 on food and 200 on this whatever. So you spend almost all of it. If you lost your job right now, let's say you're still living at home with parents, suddenly you wouldn't be spending 2k a month anymore because you don't have the money to spend, right? It sounds like common sense. Like what I've said it sounds like common sense. But just think about that. **[15:18]:** If you made less money, for example, if you didn't make the money from this job anymore, you'll just spend less money. You wouldn't die, you just spend less money. You just, you'd have to, you'd automatically spend less money. So then that made me think, like, hang on, so I'm working this job not for this sort of metaphysical, you know, this like, like this vague thing of like having a job in money and whatever. But really I'm working this job to buy these things. And I started looking at the things of like weed, food deliveries, you know, ubereats and Whatever. And this apartment that I was, I was renting because I didn't want to live at home. I'm working this job to have these things. If I quit my job, I couldn't have these things anymore. And I would then go and, for example, live at home with my family for free and full time I'd have to like, you know, I'd go and work or whatever. **[16:07]:** And I pictured myself like running around the park or something like that sounds like a pretty good life. Like, you know, being broke, but like running around the park and then spraying, spending time on your laptop making a business. Like that's actually a pretty good life, right? I was like, okay, that's pretty good. But I make money right now and I get this apartment. Sure. But I'm just kind of stressed about money. So I'm not really happy being in the apartments because overall I was probably happier just like living with my parents in my family home than I was in this apartment. Like, I'd rather have the apartment and have my own space and be able to, you know, you know what I mean? I want to girls and stuff, Right? Fair enough. But at the same time, like, overall I was kind of happier just like being at home and not working the job. **[16:43]:** Okay? I work the job, I make the money. And with the money, I'm spending money on like weed and food deliveries. Okay, sure, that's kind of nice. But if I didn't have money to buy weed, that would probably be a good thing. If I didn't have money to buy like, like, you know, takeaways from like restaurants, that'd probably be a good thing because, you know, I'd eat cleaner. So I thought like, yeah, lifestyle deflation. If I quit this job and I had less, less money to spend, oddly, my life would be better one because I've quit the job and you know, now I spend my time, you know, making in my own business. **[17:17]:** But also too like the money that I'm getting, I'm spending in a way that overall I'm still not happy. So it's almost pointless. Like I'm spending it on this apartment that back then I think was about like £450 each. Me and the, my, my sort of XXX girlfriend. So I was spending it on that and then food deliveries and whatever and extra. **[17:39]:** Right? So I was like, so what's the point? Because overall I'm not even happy. So why am I, you know, sort of keeping these things in my life, like weed and food deliveries in the apartments when overall I'm not Happy like I've got basically nothing to lose. Overall, I'd be happier just like going home and not, you know, to my parents home and having no expenses and not like, okay, I can't buy things, sure, but I also don't have to work because of the fact that I'm not going to buy things. **[18:03]:** So now I don't have to work a job. I can just go all in on the business. So for the guys here who feel like your mental health is particularly bad because of like the job you're working, that's like the mindset I want to give you is like, bro, lifestyle deflation. And many of you guys are probably coping now thinking, well, you know what, my, my job's not that bad. And you know, it's not that bad. It's only two days a week. And you're saying the same logical cope that you've had for a while that's kept you stuck. But if you watch this far of this video, if you are working a job, bro, it's like you watch this video for a reason. Don't start coping with logic right now. Like, oh, but it's not that bad. I'm just saving up money for this trip and blah, blah. **[18:35]:** No, no, no, no, no, no, bro, you watch this video for a reason because your gut instinct is telling you, like, you'd be better off overall by not working the job and you know, just by spending all your time on your real goal. It's so easy to, when it's time to make a decision to start coping and thinking, well, you know, it's not that bad. This is what women who are getting beaten up by their husbands do to. They're so certain they've got to leave. **[18:57]:** And when it actually comes to like plan leaving, that's when they're like, oh, well, he's not that bad. And you know, he's actually sweet and you know, he promised he'll drink less alcohol now, so whatever. Like, you're like an abused woman. **[19:09]:** Women like stay in that type of relationship for 10, 20, 30 years. You want to be like one of them. This is the problem with like illogical decision making. You get a very clear idea like you know, every day of like needing to leave this bad situation. And it's, you should do that because you're getting the idea constantly. **[19:28]:** But then you cope with like this gay logic of like, oh, but it's not that bad. And for you guys who are in university, you, a lot of you guys say this where you keep getting the idea to Leave. But then you get the logical cope of like, oh, but it's not that bad and you know, next year it'll be like this and you know, when I have the degree it'll be a good backup option. You know, you'll start coping like a little. **[19:50]:** What if the answer is so simple for you. What if it's literally bro, just, just leave, quit the job. And what would you do to make it work? To make it work? What would you do if you're living, let's say you're not living at home with parents, you're renting right now. **[20:03]:** Okay. You probably wouldn't be able to afford renting, right? So you'd have to leave this apartments or this home or whatever, move back in with your parents and it's going to be awkward as. Because you can't really girls there and they're going to be annoying or whatever. Okay, sure. **[20:16]:** But the, the headache of not being able to fuck girls in your home is not even 1% as much as the headache of like going to work a job you don't like. Plus you can just fuck girls like out in public if you need to or some shit. You know what I mean? Or you ask them, let's go to your place. You'd be shocked how many girls will let you go over to their place. **[20:33]:** All you have to do is just text them like, oh, hey, let's hang out at 8pm yeah, yeah. What do you want to do? I don't know, we can watch a movie. Can we do your place, bro? You'd be shocked how many girls would be like, yeah, yeah, sure, my dad's gonna leave home at 9pm you'd be shocked, right? And if she says no, you tell, okay, let's go for a walk in the park at like 7pm, 8pm, 9pm it's dark. And then just bend her over in the woods. Done. You know. Or you take her to like a public, you know, to the, the disabled bathrooms. They've got like those handrails there for a reason, right? It's for this. So it's not that big, it's not that big of a deal, you know, Think about that. Like a lot of guys will work a job that's literally making them like suicidal just to make money so that they can sort of either have a car or an apartment so that maybe they can have sex with a girl like what, like once a month or some. **[21:20]:** Like that's insane. **[21:21]:** Overall you're not even happy. You've got nothing to lose. You'd be happier with that friction of like, for example, not being able to afford your car or you know, not being able to afford, afford the home or what, you know, the, the apartment or something. You'd be happier with that constraint. But you're not working this job and you spend all day just working on your business. You've got your perfect dream timetable, you know, your daily schedule. Overall you'd be happier. Plus you'd be building up the real big thing, you know, so that, that's it for the job. **[21:50]:** It's like, bro, like I would fully support you if you're working some like, job that you know you have no future in. What, like you're gonna leave at some point. Like, of course you are. You're not gonna work this job forever, right? Of course not. So you're gonna leave at some point. So like now is a great time to do it because you really want it now, right? It doesn't make sense for you to, oh, but I'll do it in three months. Or like, why like bro, send your manager a text right now. Just send them a text just to. Because you'll, otherwise you'll pussy out after watching this. You'll like go take a piss or something and you'll start to cope. To make it easier, grab your phone and send your manager a text rule right now and just say, hey, just wanted to let you know I'm going to hand in my two weeks notice. **[22:27]:** Let's talk about it. We can talk about it tomorrow if you need to. Boom. Just, just to open the door to that, right? **[22:32]:** Because if you, if you think, oh no wait, I'm not going to do that. I'll do it like, you know, tomorrow in person, whatever. You'll probably end up coping as you have done before. So send the text message or the email like right now. And by the way, like, your employer won't even give a shit. It sounds like. I remember before I quit my first ever part time job, I contemplated it for weeks, bro, and, and one of the reasons why I procrastinated, it was because I was believing like my, my manager, my boss would be like, I don't know, offended by it or some shit or you know, he'd be like, kind of, you know, it'd be bad for him, right? And it was only when I first said it to him that when I saw his response I realized like, oh yeah, like, like all these managers and bosses, they've had previous employees in your role and they'll have people afterwards. **[23:16]:** They quite literally have like A documents that they upload onto, you know, those websites like indeed or LinkedIn or whatever where they're looking for job applicants, they already have like the document there from like when you got this role, right? Like you know, the people who've worked in your, your job for a while, they all knew like the person whose role you basically replaced, you know, the person who left before you, they all knew that person. And you'll be another one of those people who came in and left. It's like, it's so normal, bro. Especially when you're a young guy. The, the jobs you're getting at this age, it's so normal for you to come in and out. Even for, for the rare guy here who's got like a pretty high level job, you know, you're working in like software or some. **[23:54]:** For the, the rare guy here who's working high level, it's even more normal for you guys to go into a job and out and in and out, you know, like different jobs because that's actually how you end up getting like a higher salary overall rather than sticking to one company for all while. So basically for everyone here, bro, I'm telling you, it's so normal. It's not, it's not a big deal at all. So you should be excited. Just send the text message right now. Let this video just help you. You'll be fine, brother. Like think about it. You send it, okay? You won't have much income anymore. Maybe you can get on like government welfare. You can go apply for it. That's like what it's made for, right? What you go apply for and you go hard on business at the same time. That's, this is like literally it's within your right to go and apply for it and see if you can get it. **[24:33]:** It was a godsend for me because when I moved back home I. You know how I learned about the, the government welfare in, in, in uk? Because just before I moved back home, I was helping this homeless guy. And so I was applying for all these like government welfare whatever things for him. And one of them was called universal credit, which became almost like the sort of main UK benefits kind of thing, right? Like a welfare thing. So I applied for him and, and after a while, like it took me a while, but like they accepted it. And this, this homeless guy, basically I was helping him. I think he got like income and he got like a house paid for or whatever, like rent and stuff. Okay, sweet. **[25:07]:** So when I moved back home I, I applied for it myself thinking like, well let's just see what happens, right? And when it said like I, I, there was somewhere on it where you could basically say, like, you want to like, you know, you're looking for a job or something. You had to like, look for a job. That's why you'd get the money because, you know, they don't want you to stay on it forever. And I just wrote somewhere like, I'm right, I'm stuck starting my own business. **[25:27]:** And that was it. Like, they didn't make me go to like interviews or, you know, like to show evidence of like, oh, you're trying to apply for jobs. Because they understood, okay, well, he's trying to start a business, whatever. So that was it. I just got like, I forgot what it was, like £200amonth or something like that. **[25:40]:** Which obviously is nowhere near how much I was making in the job before. I was making like 2k a month. But 200 pounds is more than enough of what I needed per month to live at home with my family. And you know, my family's like buying the food, food and I don't have to pay rent or some. Right. So to be fair, I'm pretty sure I still, still was giving my family 100 pounds a month, you know, for like rent and food and some. Right. So I had like 100 myself and I just not really spend that much of it maybe on like some gymnastic rings and protein and my phone contract and you know, like a little food delivery once every now and then or some, whatever. So yeah, I took the leap and, and the, the welfare thing really helped to make it possible. **[26:16]:** So see if you can just get onto it yourself as well whilst you're just building this business. **[26:20]:** Because in the end, like, you're going to end up becoming successful making money and obviously you're going to pay like a lot in taxes back to your country before you eventually, you know, sort of close your account there and move over to somewhere that's more tax friendly. So you may as well like, you know, claim what you can now when you need it at this like, high leverage time. Right? So if you're working a job, bro, I'm telling you right now, there's almost no reason for a young person to be working a job that's reducing their sort of happiness and, and the sort of time that they can spend on good life. You know what's actually so interesting? Holy. I never really put this together. But you know what's so interesting? I loved my time in university because I just wanted to go and Fuck girls and stuff, right? **[27:05]:** But just around the end of my second year, basically, like the end of my second year of university, I was randomly just like applying for jobs. **[27:14]:** I didn't really need to because, you know, you get student loans and yeah, you're poor and it's like a lot of us, you know, would get our loans and spend them in the first like month or something and so you'd have almost no money and you'd have to ask your parents and you have. And you'd have to say no to your friends if you wanted to like get food or, you know, your one friend had money and he'd buy something for you, whatever. That was so normal, right? But I just ended up like applying for jobs randomly, right? And I, and I ended up getting this job as a recipient receptionist. **[27:37]:** And I started to work, I think it was like four days a week. And I eventually changed it to like two, but I was doing like 12 hour shifts. Like two full days, right? Or like four days. It was like six hours or something like that, right? It's part time. It was like 24 hours. And bro, that was probably the single worst decision I made when I was young, like at this age, you know, because I went from like this carefree, broke, but that's okay, young guy, you know, I was like 19 years old and I was really enjoying my time in university to as soon as I got this job, that's when, like when I think back of my time in university, this job was the start of like the sort of downfall of my happy experience in uni. The first one to two years I was in like party mode, boy, lean, attractive, whatever. **[28:19]:** And as soon as I got this job, that's when I became almost like a bit of a recluse. And now I'm like a weird sort of semi adult, not really a full kind of student. It was kind of far away. So I'd commute like 45 minutes and stuff and you'd spend all day there, you'd be tired, all to make like 64 pounds. And when you think about it, like, what's that money for? Because if I didn't make that money to that day and imagine I was like skinned, you know, like poor, as many students were. **[28:43]:** It'd be fine. Like that's why in all the student cities in UK they always hand out flyers for like free things or one pound drinks or one pound pizzas because everyone's poor and it's like, that's fine. Your experience of being poor but unemployed and not working Is honestly not, not that bad. That. That's a key lesson that I really want to teach everyone here. **[29:04]:** Being unemployed and having no money, genuinely, your experience of life isn't that bad. Honestly. Like, you get to spend your time on whatever the you want. Being broke whilst working a job is literally the worst life possible. I want you to really recognize this. And in fact, this part of the video is so important that I really think you should sort of mention this, you know, in our community. Community or something. For everyone who's not even concerned with like, mental health, but just in general, it's like a really weird lesson I want to give you. Being working in a job and still being broke, which is what basically every job will. Will get you, is the worst life you could have. **[29:40]:** Being unemployed and being poor is honestly a pretty sick life. You've probably never heard anyone say this, but I promise, like, there was a study recently, so interesting. And they tested the testosterone levels of guys based on what job they have. So there was like unemployed, you know, like, loser and farmer and like, you know, business, finance, whatever. And you would probably think it was like, okay, well, unemployed guys, because they're losers, they've got the lowest testosterone. **[30:11]:** Then it would be like, okay, you know, like getting higher and higher. Okay, in a job, high open an office job, like finance tech or whatever. And then the highest one would be like pharma. Right? You'd assume that, right? **[30:22]:** It was exactly the complete opposite. Seriously, it was almost shocking. Farmers had the lowest testosterone. Unemployed guys had the highest testosterone. I'm surprised the farmer was so low because you'd expect it to be like, you know, a pretty like, old school, kind of cool thing. But I don't know, maybe it's probably, probably the pesticides, to be fair. But what was interesting was all the guys who were working normal jobs, you know, construction and warehouses and then also office jobs, their testosterone was lower on average than unemployed guys. Why? Because being unemployed is a very alpha male thing. I know that sounds crazy to say, but it really is. **[31:01]:** No, boss, wake up whenever the you want. I saw this meme once. It was like an Instagram reel. And it was like this guy who was in bed and the caption was like, this is how unemployed dudes wake up. And he's like, he's pretending he's like, unemployed. So he's waking up and he's like. **[31:27]:** This. And he was like this for like 30 seconds, like, you know, like preparing to get up. And everyone was commenting. It's funny because, like, you know, the guys like not in a rush, right? And I, I remember watching that thinking like that's so true. **[31:40]:** Being unemployed as a guy, bro, there's a girl as well. But being unemployed, bro, it's actually a bit of a flex. The unemployed Chad, bro, he's slinging some, his girl's not cheating on him, I'm telling you. You know what's an interesting thing? I promise you this is legit. **[31:58]:** It's so easy to the girlfriends and wives of men who work hard, bro. It's so easy, you know, for guys who have got like a full time job, it's so easy to their girls. But I'm telling you right now, it's actually pretty hard to the girl of an unemployed guy because that guy's got time, that guy's her all the time. That guy's doing fun, adventurous things with her. I promise you right now, every girl that I who's got a boyfriend or a husband, there's quite a lot as well. **[32:26]:** Because I'm like the exact archetype girls go to to like cheat on their man, right? Every girl that I fucked who's in a relationship, their man was hard working, their man had like a, you know, like a proper job or whatever. Not, not even that he was high or low, whatever. But you know, like some, a lot of the guys had like a low end job, you know, he makes 20k a year or some, some of the guys have got like, you know, they're more like middle class. They make 50k a year, 60k a year, whatever. **[32:50]:** I don't think I've ever an unemployed guy's girl before. But I, I, a lot of, of hard working guys, girls, a lot. That's very interesting, right? It's easier for you to a hard working man's wife than an unemployed man's wife because the unemployed guy is dicking her down 247 and he's doing fun with her. You know, he's like going like, he's going for coffee with her at 10am or some. **[33:17]:** And he's like, you know, the type of guy who's on, who's fine with sort of being unemployed. He's also like, like, you know, got more alpha traits, right? Because he's clearly unemployed most likely because his behavior doesn't really align to like being a little dork and having a boss and stuff, right? So I want you to think, because this is really interesting and you've probably never heard someone say this, but I want you to think of being unemployed as like a pretty alpha thing. This. There's two basically alpha professions. Like, you know, your sort of career status. There's only two being unemployed or being an entrepreneur making money online. There's only two you should ever do. In my opinion, you should only ever work in two different sort of, you know, situations. **[33:55]:** Either you're just unemployed and you don't have any work and you just live with being broke and just do what you need to, which honestly is not a bad life. Honestly, like it's so weird to say that. Maybe I'll expand on that in a second. And the other one is okay, being a rich entrepreneur, you know, make money online. Online. And maybe you're a freelancer, but either way you're like self employed. You're, you're your own boss or you're even the boss of other people. Done. You're a freelancer, you're an actual, you know, content creator or boss or whatever. You start your own company, whatever. That's alpha as. That's super cool. Okay, that's like a very, very alpha thing. Fair enough. Or you be unemployed. **[34:30]:** Don't ever do that. Something in the middle and obviously part of the self employed entrepreneur could be, you know, the rare athlete, singer, whatever. Of course, that's it. Don't do anything in the middle. Don't be a low end worker. Don't even be a high end worker. Don't get a low end job or a high end job unless one is like your absolute dream. You know, there's the rare guy who's like, he's always wanted to be like a vet for like, for animals. Okay, fair enough. If that's your genuine dream or you really want to study like climate change or some, fair enough. You know, if that's your absolute dream. But for most of you guys, you don't really have like a dream job. You just want to make money and you know, do something of fun, right? So that's what I'd say is bro, either be unemployed and just suck it up and just deal with it because, or, or be the entrepreneur, right? **[35:12]:** Because this is something I really want to pass on to you. **[35:15]:** Just think about the life experience of not having money. It is, you know, oh, you can't provide to your family, whatever. But when you really think about it, it's like, it's not that bad. What I learned, you know, in 2020 when I started to study mental health for the first like proper time and many of you guys who you've watched my mental health videos and also many of you guys who have watched that free course, I've mentioned all the time the science of wellbeing. Basically, what you learn about the sort of the evidence of what makes a human happy is so interesting. **[35:44]:** We think that money and we think that a good house and we think that a good car and we think that grades will make us happy. We think that getting married would make us happy. But statistically through hundreds of thousands of people, it's false. Your happiness doesn't actually change based on those things. If you get into an accident and you lose your legs, your happiness goes down for a couple of months and then it goes back to your baseline because you just adjust to it. **[36:14]:** This is called the hedonic adaptation. Basically, you get used to stuff. As a human being, you get used to stuff. This villa, bro, it was so special when I moved in. It's time 10k a month or even a little bit above 10k a month USD. **[36:26]:** So special. It's just like my home. I've been here for a year. It's like you get used to things, right? When you buy an expensive watch, it's like so cool for like a day or two. **[36:36]:** Then you just get used to it. Basically the human brain has this, this component to it, this feature, not a bug, this feature where you will get used to stuff. And the reason why is because our nervous system and our brain are evolutionarily wants us to never settle and be complacent. It wants us to always pursue more and more and more. So we go and find more like resources out in the wild. You know, it's like a natural selection thing, right? So basically what this means is tldr, you know, the summary. This is so interesting. Let me explain this to you. You're going to find this so interesting. It's going to help you with making life decisions simply. You get used to stuff. When you're broke, you'll get used to not really having that much money. When you're rich, you'll get used to having much money. **[37:18]:** Okay, sweet. When you're working a job, you'll get used to like making 2k a month. But here's the thing, the thing you don't get used to is like for example, commuting, working a job that feels like it has no purpose for you. That's the thing that you don't get used to. You get used to being broke. You get used to making 2k a month. You get used to making 100k a month. You get used to, you know, living in the 10k villa. You get used to living in the 500 home. But the thing you don't get used to, the thing that will constantly SAP your spirits is things like for example, bad health. So you feel like sickly every day and that, that you will never get used to that it will always be painful. **[37:57]:** Bad relationships, lack of flow state, lack of sleep, lack of sunlight. And what you spend your time on that you, that like you don't get used to that. Every day is like mundane. Every day feels like, you know what I mean? So basically the lesson here that I, I learned this was like looking through so many like psychological researches. **[38:20]:** Basically the lesson is it is so much better to basically leave the job and be unemployed and then be like the kind of happy unemployed guy who's like, you know, you're like sunlight maxing and socializing with everyone and you're you know, making ends meet with like a low amount of money. Like put it this way, this is a good explanation for you to understand this. **[38:44]:** When I moved back home in, in May 2020, I started to live this life of self improvement, right? I quit my job and I started to meditate. 20 minutes in the morning. **[38:54]:** Then I do gratitude journaling. Then I would read, I would record a YouTube video which felt really purposeful. I was like helping people. Then I'd run to the park listening to music. Then I'd work out there for over an hour and laugh around. And sometimes I had a friend who'd come or I'd like to speak to random people and they'd, you know, do it with me and I'd play music and whatever. Then I'd run back home and then go train extra muscles in my garage, in my little home gym that would, I would like make a meal and like talk to my mom or my sister or whatever this was, you know, like 11am or something, right? Like middle of the day. Then I'd go up and read for a few hours and I'd watch like some educational YouTube videos maybe at nap. Then I'd help people for free. **[39:30]:** I'd go on like a call for free or something with someone or maybe some people would pay me to like go on calls with them, whatever. Then I'd like do more work and script the next YouTube video or some shit and I would, you know, like eat whatever. And I had no sort of commute or no uniform or whatever, right? That life, even though I didn't have much money, was filled to the brim of happiness, flow state and, and the pursuit of my goals. You know, like I wanted to get fitter, I wanted to get mentally healthier And I wanted to grow this business. **[40:01]:** And not to mention I would meditate 20 minutes in the morning, 20 minutes after I would work out, and then 20 minutes before bedtime. So I'd meditate an hour a day. So you can imagine, bro, my. My sort of life quality was very high, but I was pretty poor. My income was about 200 pounds a month that the government was giving me. **[40:18]:** Now think about what was life like. Just few months before that, my income was like 1.7k or 2k or whatever. Working a job. Every day I wake up sleep deprived and I have to wake up sort of artificially early to do everything, but, you know, I went to sleep kind of late, whatever, but I have to wake up in time for work and getting ready. And sometimes I'd go to the gym in the morning because it just felt easy to do that. **[40:38]:** But, you know, I'd wake up, it just felt like extra cold and it was like I didn't want to be awake at that time. I was just doing it because of work. And I remember I was living in this apartment and I would wake up and straight away go to the bathroom, brush my teeth, whatever, and I'd be in the sort of kitchen slash living room and the ironing board was there and I'd have to kind of like iron my pants and shirt before, you know, I'd go to thingy. Or sometimes I'd like just kind of stand around in my bathrobe and just, you know, there was an eerie piece in the morning, but it was kind of depressing. And I put on my clothes. It's raining outside, bro, and it's like, I didn't put on my little gay jacket and then go downstairs. You're walking in like your work shoes and you know how like, bro, it's cold in the morning when you go into work when it's cold, going to the gym, it's like, you don't mind because you're choosing to go to the gym, you know what I mean? **[41:29]:** But when it's cold and raining for something like you have to do, it just feels 10 times worse. And I remember like the place where I would go to like get onto the public transport, the tram, there would always be like a bit of mud or some, you know, all over the floor. So when it would rain, it would kind of splash up, like into like your pants and it, you know, on the bottom of your pants, and you'd feel it stick against your skin and it just felt horrible. Then I'd get on the tram and if I was going early before work to go to the gym, there'd be almost no one on the tram. It's like a dystopian reality. And I think there's a video on this channel. Maybe you'll be able to find it. Maybe someone can link it or say the title. **[42:06]:** I'm pretty sure it's. The title is like you can escape hell or something like that. Which I recorded my, my commute. I just happened to record it back then, knowing that I'd make a video about it. If you saw what my life looked like then, bro, it's like, that's a life quality. And then this is just the bro, the first hour of the day, just like getting ready and commuting. Not to mention, okay, I'd get to the office, you feel like a dork with a tie on. And then, you know, start working and you just, you spend all day just doing some mindless sat next to people that you don't relate to. If work finishes at six and you've got this idea that, oh yeah, when I come home, I'm gonna go work and stuff, you know, on my, on my business. And then like the tram on the way home and it's packed like crazy. **[42:46]:** It's just horrible vibe. Then you get there, it's raining. Then you get home and you just want to eat and there's like nothing in the fridge. So you go, whatever. Now it's like 7pm already and it's like you've got like, you know, like two, three, four hours. **[42:58]:** Like two, three hours before you need to sleep to wake up with enough time if you want to go to the gym in the morning, whatever. But I'd want to stay up later. And now like, you know, I've ate and I don't want to work on the business. My brain's just up. I just want to watch a movie, eat some more food and eat a snack and my girl and stuff. And it's like, bro, now you're going to repeat it again. And by the time I promised myself I'd work on the business when I got home at night, I'm not going to now. And I promised myself that I'd go to sleep early, like 9 or 10. And I'm not, it's 11:30, I'm going to be sleep deprived again. And you're going to bed literally knowing I'm to going gonna get like six and a half hours or seven hours sleep for tomorrow. **[43:30]:** But I really needed more than that. What's interesting is this Life that I'm telling you about, I was making 2k, right? Technically I was making 10 times more money than the other life I told you about. When I, you know, didn't have the job, the money was higher but overall the life was just like so much worse. Yeah, sure, you make more money, but you're like money. **[43:49]:** It's honestly like it's overrated and underrated in some ways. Being unemployed is on underrated like crazy. And you know that's, it's almost like not fair to say because I was working on a business. So technically you're like self employed, you just haven't made money yet. But man, it's like your life quality when you just spend your time doing what you want. **[44:13]:** Your mental health, when you spend your time doing what you want is so good, so much better then spending your time doing shit you don't want but for money. Because basically what's going to improve your life the Most? Making. Getting 2k but then spending, you know, losing all your hours or not having the 2k but spending all your time on building the real thing. Building the real thing is way better. Plus it makes you happier right now and you're developing skills that you actually want. You know, you're building something you actually want to keep. You know, so the, the idea is that like don't go for this sort of middle ground, the, the job or for you guys who are studying right now, you're in school, university, there's no benefit to that at all. Like let's exclude the 1% of guys who have got a very clear job that they want. **[45:03]:** Fair enough. You know, if you want a job that requires a degree, I completely understand. I'd support you for it. Like for example, if you tell me like, no, no, I've always wanted to be like a social surgeon and obviously I have to study and get a degree for that. Yeah, okay, sure bro, go study and be the best student for sure. I'm not like a retard. I'm not like being extra like you know, polarizing for no reason. I'll support you to go to university if you need it, for a very clear dream career. But it doesn't make sense to be in university or working like a job because basically what I'm trying to teach you is go for the each extreme. Either be unemployed and just deal with it. Like put it this way, right when, when I was working the job, I was, you know, getting an income of like 2k so I could buy the apartment and I could order food and Stuff in like a delivery and stuff. **[45:49]:** And I could buy weed and that kind of stuff. I could, you know, pay for the transport and buy lunch at the, the office. So I could buy all these things, right? I could buy like in the shoes that I needed for work, I could buy all these things. But overall, I was still depressed right now. When I didn't have money, I couldn't buy new shoes. So I would literally wear the same old trainers when I'd go work out in the park. That had like a little hole in them, but I literally would laugh about that, you know what I mean? I had this old, like, speaker that I must have had for like two, three years that I'd play music from. And I had like, I didn't have AirPods. I had like, you know, some cheap ripoff ones. Right. When you think about it, it's like, that's fine. **[46:32]:** Like, the experience of not having much money is honestly not that bad. Seriously. Especially when you're young, right? Eventually you really want to make the money to give to a family and whatever. Sure. But at this age, the experience of having no money is in terms of, you know, money and what you can spend is honestly not that bad compared to having like 1k or 2k. Seriously, like. Like what you can buy for 1 or 2k is not really that amazing. Or that like changing or whatever. Having no money is not that different. **[46:59]:** Like, imagine this. Imagine there's two students, right? **[47:03]:** There's the student who just is too lazy to get a job. So he gets his student loan and he ends up spending it, you know, almost all of it. So he's got like, you know, 76 pounds left, and he's really concerned about, you know, I can't spend it anymore. So his friends say, like, oh, come on, let's go out. And he's like, nah, I'm not going to spend any more money. I'm skinned. You know, I've literally got 50. Let's say he's got £15 and he needs it for food or something tomorrow. She's like, nah, I'm not gonna go out tonight. And maybe he's one of his friends. I was like, go on, I'll buy you a drink or something. It's like, okay, fine, I'll come for one. Whatever. All I say, his friend doesn't even offer unless he actually does stay at home. This is why, like, you know, in, in university, like, the, the nights out, the alcohol is so cheap and stuff because they know everyone's porn. **[47:40]:** But this guy's life Isn't that bad if he goes out or not? Or like, let's say he wants to meet a girl. He goes to the store and buys like the cheap like fucking four a four pound bottle of wine so he can drink with her. It doesn't matter. The fact that he's bought a cheap one because he's young. It doesn't matter. You know, it really doesn't matter. Okay? He doesn't have like the, the name brand AirPods and he shops at the cheap store or something. It's like it doesn't matter. He's a young student. It makes no difference. Now imagine how happy his life quality is where he wakes up and does whatever the he wants all day. That's some like alpha. Then imagine the student who's like a bit of a goody two shoes narc who works a job and makes like 1k a month. **[48:17]:** You know, they work part time, two days a week or something. This person has way more money, right? But this person is actually more depressed than the first person. Yeah, they've got money and they can spend it and whatever. Sure. Okay. So they can, you know, afford the, the nicer store to go buy food from or something. You know, they can buy this thing or this thing. They can take an Uber every now and then. Okay, sure. **[48:38]:** But overall, because of the fact that two days per week they're super fucking tired, they end up being less happy. And what's interesting is the first person who's, who's a bit of a lazy guy will usually get the same grades as this second person who's actually a bit more of a knock and studies way more. But the first person is just like more relaxed. Right. When I was in my first year of uni, bro, like in uni I didn't study like at all. I didn't give a fuck, right? But in my first year, I still remember my first and second year, I would get basically the same grades as some of like the pretty good students in our classic. I would get like a 2:1 right? Which is like the second best grade. You could get a 2:1 and. But some of my friends who would like study and you know, they'd color code their notes and stuff, they would get two ones as well. **[49:19]:** And I would literally do my like the day before it was due. And it was funny because I had this sort of like unemployed alpha male Chad kind of energy where I just spend my time like, and just doing like for free. Like me and my friends would just hang out for free. Like we wouldn't go and purposely spend money, whatever. Whereas we had some friends who would always work, you know, part time or even full time. They were super busy, organized, whatever, and they'd get the same grades as us because they were so busy, high courtesy or whatever. And it was only when I got that job at the end of my second year, that's when my experience of life got so shit for the first time ever. And you know, from that point, I left that job eventually and got the full time job and whatever. **[49:54]:** So I remember like basically working jobs very quickly declined my life really quickly, you know. And, and so that's the lesson I want to teach you here is like, it's fine not pursuing this mid tier thing of like the university, the degree, even the school qualifications, because that won't change your life. All it will do is make you maybe eligible for like some mid tier job that you'll get like, you know, three or four or 5K a month from. Not even five, to be honest, like you know, two to 3K a month from, from like, you know, with this degree. Or you'll make 2 to 3k a month from like some job, right? I want you to think of this mindset, this is so interesting. **[50:33]:** Only ever be on the two extremes with your employment status. Either be a successful entrepreneur or just be unemployed and just be one of those guys who's just happy not having any money. Like for example, a lot of people are broke in Bali, right? And I met this guy, super happy, super social. He makes basically like he has like no income right now. He's, he's trying to be like a musician, like a rapper. And the thing is, bro, he's happy as. And also he just socializes with people for like hours every day. And one day I saw him with a different haircut. Like his hair was way shorter. So I said like, oh, you got a haircut. And he's like, yeah, I just did it myself. And I saved like 100k, which converted is like $4. He said it like that and he was happy about it. **[51:19]:** And like, think about that life where like he's just looking for ways to kind of like save money. But he's got a happy personality overall. His life quality is actually probably higher than all these dorks who are making like 1k or 2k a month from like a job or you know, a business that they hate. A lot of people here, they make a 1 or 2k a month, but they make it from like they've got to be up at 4am doing calls or Some crazy or you know, at least they've all got online businesses here. But imagine like the guy who's back home. Like imagine this. We have the broke unemployed rapper here who basically has like, let's say almost no income or let's say the equivalent of like $200 a month or some shit. So he has to live in like a very cheap place, whatever. **[51:56]:** And he's just got enough money to for example, have the gym membership and a motorbike and just food, right? So let's say his income is like $800 a month and he's just got that. He's like poor, but he gets to drive around on a motorbike, bitches, socialize with people and still go to a nice gym here. **[52:11]:** Or he could be a good boy, live in his hometown back home, make 2k a month. But also he has to now work full time in some cuck job and he has to like spend hours in the commute and whatever. Bro, the unemployed life is actually not that bad. Seriously. Especially if, you know, the version of you being unemployed is basically you're just spending your time building the real big thing, right? **[52:31]:** Just let that be the biggest lesson for you. From now on, bro, only do the two extremes. Either be the unemployed chad or go for being the entrepreneur. And basically the entrepreneur, I would say say become that through being the unemployed child first. Like I, I became an unemployed child first and that was when I was building up the business, right? **[52:50]:** That's the way go from being like a young man who's in the woke education system, the university, school, whatever a job, quit all that, become an unemployed chad. Then you become like an entrepreneur through the unemployed charger. Now you're working on like a business business and then it starts making money, whatever. You go all in for enough, but don't do anything in the middle. Don't do the university, don't do the normal job. 2k a month. That's the worst life possible. It's the lowest freedom. And also the reward of it's so low. You know, it's better to like just be the guy who's like fine not having any money. Be the guy who's fine not being able to afford like their proper AirPods or some. Eventually I want you to still get richer, of course. But it's okay to be broke as in these early days and just own it and just laugh about it. **[53:35]:** Remember, girls are all getting by broke guys, bro. They don't give a bro. Every girl's getting clapped out in public. Every girl's getting in the woods or every girl's, like, bringing a guy over to their home and their little father's like, okay with it, whatever. So, like, why the would you like working a job? Just because you need a place and you need a car and whatever? Like, for what reason? It's not worth it, right? That the biggest impact on your mental health is going to be this choice job. It's going to be the university that you don't want to be at. Remember in this video, I'm telling you, you know, like, about my time in uni and, yeah, I had a good social life, whatever. But if I could go back now and what I'd say to you is, don't go to uni for the social life. **[54:09]:** Because I just didn't know the alternative, right? That's why I kind of. I, like, my parents made me go, but I didn't know the alternative, so I was excited for it. The alternative is, like, just come to Bali instead. Going to university and having all the extra stress of being. **[54:24]:** Being a peasant. And you know that you don't get the unemployed energy because now you're, you know, you're in uni, you have to study whatever instead, just like, just come, move to Bali as soon as you possibly can. Be unemployed, live at home, work on the online business, get to 102k a month, move to Bali. That's it. **[54:40]:** Quit the job, Quit the job, drop out of uni. **[54:44]:** It's the single best thing you'll do for your mental health. Then just be the unemployed child and just. Just spend all your time just growing the business and also just living a happy life. Like the things you need to do. Yeah. Your parents might shout at you for what, like three hours per week? It's really not that bad. Remember, you work like 20 hours a week, maybe 40 hours a week, plus getting ready and commuting. It's probably. You're probably working like, what, 50 hours per week, right? Most of you guys who are working full time, It's. It's not 40, it's 50 hours if you include commuting, getting ready, right? 50 hours per week. Imagine you quit your job. Your parents might shout at you because they won't really want you to have the job, but they'll. Your parents will shout at you for like three hours per week. **[55:21]:** Like it's. It's actually worth it. You know, your life was for 50 hours a week before. When you leave the job, it's like, yeah, your parents will shout out you, but only for a few hours. A week. Like, you're actually saving like a lot of time, right? It, man. The single biggest thing you could do is just save your time and just use it on the things you want to do. I couldn't imagine still live in a life where like, you're doing things you don't want. Like, like a lot of you guys, you've never tasted a life like what I've had for the last few years. I genuinely just do whatever the I want, bro. If I want to wake up and go to the gym, I go. If I want to wake up and just work, I do it. If I. **[55:59]:** Today I didn't feel like going to the gym. I didn't feel like working first thing in the morning. So I read for a little bit here. Then I was like, it, I'm going go to the bookstore and I just went to the bookstore like first thing in the morning. It doesn't matter, bro. It's like, like you need control over your schedule. That's such, such a, a mental health boosting thing. You know, I've taught a lot of the basics of mental health before. You know, meditation, gratitude, stop scrolling and stuff. Okay, sure. But I wanted to make today's video a little bit special for the kind of guys who I really want to help today, because this was inspired by like a member who's inside of our community. He sent me a video which was. He was just kind of like explaining why he wasn't happy in life. **[56:37]:** And he said like, he, he mentioned a few things, but when he briefly mentioned like this job that he was working, something clicked for me and I was like, yeah, like that's the biggest factor by far. You know, he mentioned that he'd been in a rut for so long, he'd been low, like, you know, not feeling as good. And it really reminded me of the rut that I was in since I got that job when I was in university. I got that job as a receptionist. Because when you work a job, I'm telling you, bro, your spirit as like a young Chad just gets throttled. Seriously, it just get like, bro, your. Your sort of consistency in gym and diet and sleep and. And no fap and everything else, bro, it starts getting destroyed. When you're working a job, when you're stressed about university exams or some, you know, you want to quit these things that are like sapping your time, control your time and have like, you know, your schedule is just for you. **[57:30]:** That's so important, my brother. Like, please, like, take action on this. Don't let this be like now. Like, you know, you're just gonna go back to normal life and convince yourself like, oh no, you know what, I'm gonna take this advice. But like, in the future, if you want this video to help you, bro, send the text message or the email right now and message your boss or your manager and say to them like, hey, I just wanted to let you know that I'm gonna hand in my. My sort of notice. I'm going to be leaving this job. We can talk about it tomorrow. Boom, that's it. But I just wanted to let you know now that's it. Same with university as well or school or some. If you've been contemplating dropping out, you're like, yeah, why the am I even going? I'm literally just going just because otherwise my parents will shout at me. **[58:09]:** It, bro, just formally drop out right now. Like, why the would you continue going when you know you. You won't give a right? It's like going to help your life having a degree. Anyone who tells you that is a liar. Unless you've got a very specific dream career that needs a degree. Okay, fair enough. I'm always down for that if that's what you want. But most guys, you don't, right? Most guys are just considering like the. **[58:29]:** Like I've got my autoplay on the TV behind me. Most guys are just considering the, you know, they're in uni just to avoid the sort of awkward conversation with their parents. Like so, man, you need to have control over your schedule. It's one of the biggest things that's going to change your mental health. So please let this be a video that you take action on. **[58:50]:** Take action, drop out of uni, quit the job and just have the unemployed chat energy as you go and build the real thing. Live at home with your parents, low expenses, apply for the. The government welfare if you possibly can and just have. Just don't have the money to spend. It's. That's completely fine, bro. Put it this way. When I move back home, I had a hole in my shoe for over a year. In fact, I had a hole in my shoe for about one and a half years. I still remember because I was wearing the same shoes in, I think it was May, sorry, March 2022. **[59:20]:** And at that point I was already making about 15k a month. And it was when I went to Dubai to go see Iman Gaji. And I still remember because I recorded this video where I was in this gym that was like this rooftop gym. And I recorded like the Dubai Skyline. And. And then I. I pointed the camera at my shoe that had a hole, and you could see my sort of toe, like, you know, with the sock, like, kind of sticking out. Like, I was, like, wiggling it out, and I thought it was, like, so funny. And, you know, my audience, like, thinks that shit's funny as well. For me, it's like. Like, think about that. Like, just be the guy who, like, I just don't give a, bro. Just don't give a. Like, I was already making good money, but I just didn't even give a. **[59:59]:** About, like. Like, okay, my shoes have got a hole in them because I was so happy, so happy that I didn't care about these things. Now when you make the money, yeah, for sure. You know, don't have scrappy shoes and be clean and hygienic. Have good style, for sure. But there's a really good time in place for you to, like, not give a shit about those things. So, for example, you just cut your own hair to save time. You eat cheap food to save time. You. You get a little bicycle in instead of spending money on Ubers and public transport and whatever, and you just bike everywhere. Like, that's what I did from, like, 2020. I just bike everywhere. And when I started to go to, like, some random places in, like, 2021, I would just cycle there. And when. When I started blowing up in 2021, I started making, like, 15k a month. **[1:00:43]:** I would still cycle to, like, the gym and stuff. And I remember because one of the coaches there, he would always laugh at me, and he'd say, like, so how much money are you making? And I said, like, oh, like, probably about 4, 15k this month anyway. You still have the cycle, don't you? I heard it outside because it would make this noise, like, whenever I would press the. The break, it would squeak. And we used to laugh about it. Like, I just didn't give a. You know, I didn't. Like, the unemployed Chad. Energy's beautiful, man. Just quit the job and be like, the unemployed Chad, who's like, bro, you're so secure in yourself. You're not insecure about not making. Making money. You just don't give a. That's it. You know what I mean? You just don't care. But I was smashing girls when I had no money in uni and stuff. **[1:01:24]:** And even here, I was smashing girls. Like, in the park, they'd pick me up or something. I didn't give a. I remember this girl who used to pick me up, she really liked this, like, dessert place that would sometimes open during COVID Like, you know, when the UK had, like, ADHD rules, they kind of open places, then close them, whatever. **[1:01:39]:** And when this dessert place would be open, sometimes she'd drive me there, like, you know, us together. And she. I remember one day she bought me. Like, she paid for it, right? And it was, like, it was pretty expensive. The thing I randomly chose that day, it was like a salted caramel cheesecake, and it was like £12, and she paid for it. And then afterwards, she was like, oh, my God, that was like £12. It was expensive. And it just made me think, like. Like, she paid for me because I was dicking it down. And, like, I didn't give a. That I hadn't have the money for it. I just didn't feel insecure about it, like, at all. You know what I mean? Like, that's the energy you want to have. You want to have. Like, when I met this girl, I was. I was really broke. **[1:02:15]:** But then the sort of months after that, that's when, you know, I started not making amazing money. But, you know, I started making like 70 an hour, 100 an hour, which I guess is amazing. But, like, you know, not so much for me. But, yeah. So, bro, just let this be the lesson for you. **[1:02:30]:** Like, I've taught you the basic mental health things before, but this is like a weird extra one that I wanted to make very split specifically for a very specific kind of person. And if you need help, if you're really still thinking, like, should I leave this job? **[1:02:43]:** Should I drop out of uni? What should I do with my life? Whatever, come join our community and come ask the guys in there, like, we have this community that's linked below. Just come and join, man. Come join. **[1:02:53]:** And we're all, like, you know, giving advice to each other. It's like thousands of guys like us. It's like a social media. Like, it's like a platform, like a big group chat kind of. You can just come join and see if you like it. A lot of the guys who watch this channel, they've joined and, like, they say it's like the best thing that they've done. Basically, like, you get, like, way more of my sort of advice and everything. So go give it a try if you want. But if you really needed this video, you watch this far, like, I really hope things will get better for you, like, from. From the bottom of my heart, man. But it's not just gonna get better just from, like, nothing. I. When I was in Your position. And I was like working the job and whatever, bro. **[1:03:31]:** I contemplated leaving for months. **[1:03:34]:** I just didn't have the balls to do it. There was no videos like this. There was no one I respected who was telling me like this. It was these little tactics that made the difference of like, you know, just texting my manager instead of like saying, okay, I'll do it tomorrow when I go. And I would just, you know, just out and not say to my manager that I'm leaving. **[1:03:51]:** So the, the tactic of like texting your manager right now, even if it's night time, to tell them like, oh yeah, tomorrow you're sort of gonna hand in the two weeks notice or whatever that just like, you know, opens the door and it kind of locks you in, you know. It took me months to have the courage to quit the job and move back home and stuff. But bro, is one of those single best decisions I made in my entire life. And I really hope you'll get the balls to just do it yourself. And then you can just have unemployed chatting energy, don't work a job and just spend all your time on the things you want to do, bro, your mental health will instantly get better. **[1:04:27]:** It's worth it. Even if you're not going to be making money, even if your parents are going to shout to you, my brother, it's absolutely worth it. Take the leap. Honestly, the downside, you know how, how negatively life changing it is to leave. Like a job when you're young is literally like a 0 out of 10. Like you could get another job like this in like two months maximum, maybe even faster. But the upside is a potential 10 of you building your dream business or living your dream life when you're young and you know you need to go and like live and explore life and learn things about yourself. The upside's massive, bro. Just take the risk, please. I know it's so easy to stay comfortable. I know you're probably so hyped right now, but I know what happens. You know what happens within five minutes from now when this video ends and you go downstairs to like, you know, next to your mobile some, or you go take a piss or something, Your brain will instantly cope and think, oh, well, you know, this is. **[1:05:14]:** Oh, you know, it's going to be really hard. Okay, yeah, I won't do it right now, I'll do it in the future, I'll do it later, you know, after that, after that holiday, after that thing, then I'll do it for sure. And it's just, bro, you're gonna. Before you know it, you're gonna like, almost wake up one day and be like, oh, another month has passed, bro. The days pass so quickly when you're like this, when your mental health is. But you're spending all your time in work or whatever. You've got to like, take some real action today. Send the text message, tell them you're quitting. **[1:05:37]:** Go onto the website, start the process of dropping out, whatever. Do something significant today to get the ball rolling so that you know you're held accountable. The process has already started. Don't let time just slip by again because this is your mental health. This is like the. **[1:05:51]:** The use of your brain points that we can put onto your dream business or your dream lifestyle. You've got to take action on it right now, even if it feels like a risk, because the risk is really one out of ten. Zero out of ten, bro. It's like a job you don't even give a about. You can just go quit and get another one in two months anyway. **[1:06:08]:** I hope this helps you take care.
