My Career Advice For Anyone Feeling Stuck In Life
Video Overview & Insights
I wasted my 20s. No one spoke anything positive or beneficial to me early in that decade, and I had no clue what to do with my life, career-wise.
Unfortunately, that continued until I was 34. At that time, however, I came across a diagram that changed my life.
In this video, I want to share that exact diagram with you and show you the power of all the questions it answers.
Its called the ikigai its not your diagram you stole a wellknown concept

I can't choose between Doctor and Engineering. I have full freedom from my parents side but the real problem I sthat I NEVER had any vision goal or plan. I am already in first year of A levels with engineering subjects no chances of med but still something in me woke up and said should I go for med ?. Also I never believed in gut feeling I don't know what to do.its so miserable

The people we see online and in real life who have achieved a great job or recognition - i believe it's all about the timing, the environment they were in, the decisions they took, the content and advices they got and believed.
Looking back 20 years from now, Not everyone of us will be able to achieve what we expect but atleast we know we tried out best with the position we were in.
I too am struggling with my life and college, The Ai, job freezing, salary declining, etc
But I hope I try my best and achive the goals I have set, and I hope the same for you all.

I have worked in hospitality industry for about 16 years as a chef and I feel like this is enough for me.
This field has no future. It is a place where one is easily excluded due to politics, agitation, and herd mentality rather than skill. Because I have to work with people in harsh environments, it is a field that encourages pettiness, deception, and hypocrisy, where colleagues tear each other down to maintain their own positions.
I am looking for a profession that I enjoy, that is profitable, and that I am passionate about, but I have not yet found the right path. It is also a disadvantage that I do not have many people around me.
I write regularly

I'm nearly 41. I had dreams to work in art and animation, but an injury stopped that. I've been drifting for the last ten years it feels like. I'm a cleaner, and I've been job hunting for 17 months. I just want to lie down and never wake up again.

This makes absolute no sense, I'm stuck on being at the top of my mind of whatever that is, while feeling I'm the cause of all the misery of everything in your society making me in the same place at whomever's at the bottom.
@Kwago1Totally feeling the pain. Since I started looking for a job, and never had good news, it really made me doubt myself. Unfortunately, this market won’t be better since technology is going to be more mature.
With the job hunt being such a grind lately, you really have to play both the quality and numbers game. I locked onto Luckykoi to help me churn out applications faster. Even though the free tier caps how much you can do each day, it’s still a massive timesaver
Nice information
@Kamalkant-vlogI am feeling stuck after working for 7 years in automobile interior plastic design what next?
I am looking for a good OEM company that offers a better work-life balance and good pay.
These thoughts came to me — this is my goal and my purpose.
To be honest,, still I don't know what am i passiont, altough i am doing my MBA, but sometimes I keep telling myself that what are doing you are just a loser, haha.
Maybe because I live in Afghanistan, that's why !!
But I am stuck haha
"Passion can come later over the importance of a paycheck" so true 💯 4:24

@TeddyKimanziThis is exactly why I started Broker in a Box
@Broker-in-a-BoxTime is indeed ticking. Its really hard staying motivated towards a single direction when I not only not know if I will get hired, but if the job will even be relevant in 10+ years. AI may not be the death of us, but there will be those who suffer
@flylogan2954yeah, not everyone has a passion
@alleycat2297I HAVE A CPA/ CFA + MASTERS BUT CANT GET A JOB!!!!!!!
@UNIQUEONE-eb8zsFor a moment I thought you were Dean Graziosi
You both look alike
I'd love to become a docter specifically a surgeon but I would have to take huge loans to do so.. which is stopping me really... Currently I spent a year in physio but I'm not satisfied should I take the loan risk ....
@NatashaNaik-w8fI’m 22. I want to become a backend engineer, but I keep constantly thinking I’m not capable or that I’m too dumb for this. Any advice?
@JamalSWEI just realized what career I really want and this is something that fits all three aspects but I can’t pursue it because I am in my last semester of second degree college in something I don’t feel passionate about even though it is profitable and I can be proficient. I can’t pursue because firstly I am already in 70k private loan debt to which my dad is a co-signer but for me to pursue this career I need to take out more private loans (since the bill passed saying federal loans can’t be taken to cover for the entire graduate level schooling) but I don’t think my dad would approve. I just feel so sad and cried for few days. Idk what to do.
@artimamidi3563I'm 21 this year,if anyone want to give some advice plsss!
@MiniCrunchTotally depressing comment section
@pisceananarchyvortex7223I’m 27 years old and I feel behind in life, I’m not getting a job even though I’ve been applying non stop. It’s so frustrating
@ceuazul9245i like how grounded this is
@jex9101I've tried seven different career paths. I just don't have an aptitude for anything. I guess life can't work out for everyone
@turdfurgeson2032After qualifying JEE advanced in 2013, the peak of my life. I wasted next four years of engineering, I studied one night before the exam. I did't land a job there. After that I wasted next fours years preparing of a goverment exam that I didn't even want. But I managed to land a good Data Science job after doing the certification. Even thought I feel like I am overpaid and underworked, I feel I am stagnating in this career. I mostly do repeatative tasks. Now I am worried about my career and my ability to land next job.
Did I waste 14 years of my life?!
I am 19 , I have a passion and that as a career is profitable but what I lack is proficiency and it's not like that I don't want to work on that I want to like seriously but my parents denied
What to do any suggestions....
I really like a lot of stuff you said, but i disagree that this is JUST a hobby. We live in a world with AI so you 'coding' can also be jotted down to be a hobby. the real genius is to turn these hobbies profitable for example if you do have knowledge about baseball cards then its not just that you are good with the knowledge of baseballl (im not sure what these cards are) you could become a consultant to people who want to get into baseball.
@meranamm4617What about the sustainability pyramid? Our planet doesn't need more passionate people that keep creating for example new plastic sh*t... Sustainability is FUNDAMENTAL ❤
@ClaLuIm good and passionate, but the reality is that... this world is about networking. To these companies you are a piece of paper or a number. You need to network, meet people in the industry you work in and keep in touch with them.
@Expired1337I have no passion for anything so this doesn't help me
@PULAGJust want to say thank you for sharing with us
I have learned this in a correct time❤
Just to highlight the point: Wives are always right. Just listen to you wife man. ;)
@yogarebelclubEscolha uma carreira seguindo esses 3 passos. Primeiro: Encontre sua paixão, aquilo que você é apaixonado te permite continuar se esforçando mesmo nas dificuldades. Segundo: Aprimoramento, seja melhor e mais rápido, para não perder mais tempo e trabalhar com mais qualidade. Terceiro: Lucro, mesmo que não seja tão rentável, algum dinheiro é melhor que nenhum dinheiro.
@CaioVLimatried using scripts like LuckyKoi, saving my time on applying with simple one-click.
