Pearl - Modern Women Hate Working 9 to 5

00:00:00.000 Well, if she did want to be a YouTuber, I don't think she could make it, so maybe try stripping. 1.00

00:00:05.500 Modern women talk about being strong and independent. They talk about how 0.98

00:00:09.880 they want all the opportunities that men have, but the problem is they're lazy.

00:00:14.200 It's a big experiment to them. They want to try for it all and then leave and try something else

00:00:19.320 when things get hard. Because it's easier to quit than it is to stay, right? Let's look at

00:00:24.940 some women who tried corporate America and couldn't handle it. And remember, a lot of times 1.00

00:00:30.740 in corporate America, you have guys doing the work for them. I mean, and who can you blame the men?

00:00:36.620 It's like, if you got a chance, if you're a 40-year-old guy and you got a chance at getting

00:00:40.960 laid by a 22-year-old hot, you're going to do it, right? Even if it's just a shot.

00:00:47.440 Two and a half years since I've left corporate. Total, I worked in corporate for like two years.

00:00:52.040 It wasn't even long, but there were like telltale signs that it wasn't for me. Reflecting back on how

00:00:57.420 I used to be versus how I am now, like an entrepreneur, like doing my own thing.

00:01:02.260 When women say entrepreneur, it's never a real entrepreneur, right? It's like a TikTok shop. 1.00

00:01:07.900 There's a difference between having a TikTok and having a business. So I don't know. When I hear

00:01:15.040 people say that they're an entrepreneur, I usually think they're unemployed.

00:01:18.320 Now, I'm not saying I'm right. I'm sure like some actually are, but it's just that word. The past

00:01:25.620 couple of years, I think because like hustle, startup culture, I just start to think you're

00:01:30.180 unemployed. Like if you say, like if someone asks what I do, right? And I say, I sell media services

00:01:36.300 and I have a YouTube show. Now I could see, I could see how some people, they might think it's

00:01:41.540 unemployment. Totally fine. But you know, for example, one of my clients and I do sell YouTube

00:01:48.060 services, which if you guys are interested, DM me pearly things on Twitter and, or send me an email,

00:01:54.720 just pearly things at gmail.com. But one of the clients I have is a lawyer and it's like, yeah,

00:02:02.660 he does his YouTube show, but he sells law. Right. Or like he had a law practice. But like

00:02:10.680 when people say broad things and I can't really tell what they do, I just, I mean, maybe I'll eat

00:02:15.820 my words. We'll see what she says in the rest of this. It's just so obvious that it just did not

00:02:20.640 fit. But the thing is at the time I was such an overachiever and I am kind of like that go-getter

00:02:24.660 type A personality. So I thought it really fit me and I always dreamt of corporate, but like the

00:02:29.000 reality of it was not me at all. So here were some signs in retrospect would tell me all that I

00:02:34.080 needed to know about how long I would last in corporate. And maybe it's the same for you too.

00:02:38.340 I don't know. But the first thing is I was always anxious. I'm not necessarily like an anxious person,

00:02:43.600 but I was constantly anxious. And I didn't even realize that I was anxious the entire time I was

00:02:48.140 in corporate. I was. Yeah. See, that's her figuring out what the stress of working like a man is. 0.98

00:02:52.740 They're like, I'm stressed. And the men are like, yeah, us too. We know. We've been stressed since

00:03:00.080 birth. Where have you been? Always sweating in the office. Like from the moment I got in to the

00:03:06.000 moment I left, I was sweating. The building was super cold. So I was like cold sweating. It didn't

00:03:10.540 make any sense, but I felt like my body was on always on high alert. I think that has a lot to do

00:03:14.520 with the fact that you can't really be yourself or some environments, some teams, it's really hard to be

00:03:19.240 yourself without feeling judged or feeling like you fit in. While my job was super analytical,

00:03:23.940 my personality was like really like fun and bubbly and like whatever. I felt like I had to tone it down

00:03:29.000 for like the seriousness in the office. I had this really romanticized dream of like working in an

00:03:34.720 office, getting coffees, like working in a city. Yeah. So we always like the cloud of a job, not doing

00:03:40.400 the job. So we want to, yeah. So she like wants to, she liked the dream of working in an office,

00:03:45.600 like getting hot guy, like translation. I liked the idea of looking cool in an office,

00:03:51.160 wearing dress, like dressing up in cool outfits to work and getting to make a lot of money for a

00:03:57.700 little work and living in a city and getting to party. And the building I worked at was really cool.

00:04:02.800 I felt like really cool to be around people. It just, yeah. So again, women, like our brain never 1.00

00:04:08.160 goes past like 16. We always just want to be popular. The female curse, right? Like such a superiority 1.00

00:04:14.300 hierarchy thing. And I made myself like the scum of the earth, like looking up to people like the 0.99

00:04:20.040 VPs, which is like kind of stupid now. But that to me just indicated I was like immature in some 0.99

00:04:25.080 thinking because no one should be put on a pedestal. We're all humans. There were also like no real

00:04:29.500 boundaries. Like when we were working from home, like that was just a shit show, by the way. But it 0.99

00:04:33.760 was working late. IMing each other all day, meetings all day. And at least at the time, it wasn't

00:04:39.160 common for people to be like, oh, I just don't want to have...

00:04:41.300 So you know what? When I worked in sales, people would complain about this, right? I worked in sales

00:04:48.200 and it was like a nine to five job, but people worked extra hours all the time. And because it's

00:04:55.680 like sales, right? But some people I worked with would complain about like the boss calling them after

00:05:03.320 hours. I'm like, it's sales. Like I don't, you're not 40, you're 20. Like this is the time we eat

00:05:11.220 shit. Do you know what I mean? Like when you're 45, yeah, you might, you know, they can't really talk 1.00

00:05:18.320 to you like that. But at 20, if they tell you to get the coffee and you, your job is not getting

00:05:24.060 coffee. Do you know what you're doing? Like, but women, we don't really get like the hierarchy thing. 1.00

00:05:28.820 We think that we should be treated equal regardless of intelligence, competence,

00:05:34.140 and where we are in a company or organization. But men know that if you're at the bottom of the

00:05:38.620 totem pole, it's time to eat shit, right? Like they know this in the military, the sergeants like 1.00

00:05:44.540 scream at the new guys and they don't say like, what you're, you're texting me outside of office

00:05:50.520 hours, you know, like, it's like the thought process, like men know that respect is earned

00:05:57.940 where women think we all deserve respect. And women, we have this idea that we need this like 1.00

00:06:03.740 baseline level of respect for just existing. And the men are like, I never got that. They're like,

00:06:11.380 I've been shit on since I was 12, you know, have meetings right now, just because I don't want to, 0.97

00:06:16.120 if you didn't have a meeting, you were basically free, which in my head makes no sense because 0.97

00:06:19.960 we need to get work done. So if I don't want to meet, I don't want to meet on a given day,

00:06:23.580 we would have like five to like 13 meetings in one. Yeah. Welcome to corporate America. And

00:06:28.780 you got to sit through them. That's, that's life. Freaking day. And they tried to like implement

00:06:33.360 some like no meeting Fridays, but like nobody would really push for it. And it's because they

00:06:37.060 didn't care. I was telling more than I was showing. Like I never really got a lot of work done.

00:06:41.140 That was my fault. Why didn't I like marketing in corporate America? I didn't do the work.

00:06:48.020 I was doing a job that I had no skills to do. Like I basically like,

00:06:51.780 I got a DEI job. That's what she's saying. They hired me because I was a cute 22 year old.

00:06:56.820 Girl boss too close to the sun. And then I realized like I'm not good at math or science.

00:07:00.680 And I, oh my gosh, worked in data analytics. It was also during COVID.

00:07:05.580 I hope to God she picked a different career field. I don't know what she's doing now. 0.62

00:07:09.020 But then I realized I like the idea of work more than my actual job.

00:07:11.960 Did she say, I like the idea of work?

00:07:18.560 Okay. Like men understand that they get to work till they're dead, right? That they, 0.88

00:07:23.180 they get this from a young age where you grow up and Hey son, you work till you're dead. If you

00:07:29.360 end up enjoying the job, it's a plus, but most people don't get to do that. Good luck.

00:07:34.460 And men are like grateful, right? They're grateful if they enjoy the job. Women think 1.00

00:07:40.500 they're entitled to it, right? Cause we, we go to college and they sell us this dream of just,

00:07:46.120 oh, you're going to love your job. Passion men don't like some men get to do jobs. They're

00:07:52.460 passionate about and they're happy. Do you know what I mean? But the women, it's like, 1.00

00:07:57.860 even when they get the jobs they're passionate about, a lot of times they'll still complain.

00:08:01.520 Head work was just like walking around, prancing around with cute outfits. My day job was more

00:08:06.340 like meetings, numbers, math. I literally felt like Hannah Montana. I would be saying things like

00:08:11.980 awesome in the office. And then when I come home, I don't use that language and guaranteed once a

00:08:17.300 week, I was having a breakdown. That is not normal. What is she doing now? Let's see. Let's see Chica. 1.00

00:08:24.760 Of course she's a content creator. This is the pipeline. Um, and I don't really see her making

00:08:31.400 it either. Um, you know, I mean, she'll do okay. Um, she might be able to lifestyle vlog for a couple

00:08:41.380 years, but ladies, if you're going to do the lifestyle vlog thing, this is how I would do it. 0.62

00:08:48.280 Again, I could be wrong. Unless you have a very, very cool life. Okay. And I'm talking like you live

00:08:57.100 a very, very exciting life. You know, people will tune in for your normal life vlogs, but if you're

00:09:02.940 not, and you know, if you're exciting, right, you know, if you're doing, you know, right. And even

00:09:08.280 if you are doing exciting things, you're always going to have to top it and up it and up it and up

00:09:11.760 it and up it. You gotta like, let's see what she's got. 0.78

00:09:21.640 Yeah. Like this is what she quit her job to do. Right. Let's see what else is everything I could

00:09:27.280 done in one workday as a 28 year old living in Dallas, Texas, working for herself as a content

00:09:31.360 creator and entrepreneur. If I'm honest, 90% of the reason I quit my job is to have a two hour,

00:09:35.540 three hour morning routine, meditating, doing skincare, cleaning my house. Also, I cannot get

00:09:39.960 enough of this deodorant. Yeah, she's not going to make it. Okay. Like there's another girl on 1.00

00:09:45.860 TikTok. I'll see if I can find her, but she reviews products. So her whole thing is, you know, instead

00:09:52.420 of this day in the life that provides no value to the people except entertainment, which can work,

00:09:58.500 but you have to be very entertaining, very good. And it's very competitive. What this young woman did

00:10:05.240 was she reviews products and all of these drugstore products, she's going to be employed for a while

00:10:11.660 because she's providing value to women and her recommendation means something. 0.72

00:10:18.140 So I have to see like, what is the value she's bringing?

00:10:21.440 Grading and taking my supplements has been a new addition to my routine. And it really does feel

00:10:24.860 like it's healthy. I mainly take things for energy. Like again, if she was going to go the health route,

00:10:28.720 she's not fit enough, right? She's not like, if that's the route she was going, I'll keep going to 0.98

00:10:34.220 have these high performance work days. I am very cautious. Guys, have you ever had a high performance

00:10:39.920 work day with a three hour morning routine? We are hilarious. And look, I'm not even against

00:10:47.920 female content creators investing time into looks. Let's be honest. That's what we're monetizing to some 1.00

00:10:55.740 extent. But like, I got to have a value, like Megan Kelly. She looks great for her age. 0.99

00:11:04.060 That was money. Well, I don't know what the hell she's had done, but it was money well spent because

00:11:08.440 she's still doing her career in her fifties. Um, but like, what is your angle going to be?

00:11:15.300 Things that take my energy. So everything needs to be adding energy to my bank. One of those things

00:11:19.360 is taking breaks as often as possible. Taking break. Oh no. Well, honestly, any moment I'm

00:11:28.260 feeling tired, fatigue, bored, it's time for a break, whether that's taking a walk or doing a

00:11:32.140 cleaning break or eating lunch. I used to force myself to work for hours and hours on end when

00:11:35.420 I was feeling tired. And that was honestly 10 times more unproductive. Today I had a little bit of

00:11:39.000 everything, which was the strategy, the scripting, the filming and edit. I also had to do.

00:11:43.100 Okay. Wait, is that a man paying for it? Like, let me. Filming, filming and. Yeah. Okay. So he,

00:11:49.480 is he the one, is he paying for this is my question. Is this her boyfriend? I guess I'm

00:11:56.500 going to find out. I also had to do a little bit of this for clients because I do UGC on the side,

00:12:01.000 but essentially it's a lot of creativity, thinking things out, making them interesting,

00:12:04.420 attractive, thoughtful, and giving yourself the space to be creative as well while you're being

00:12:08.360 strategic. It's sometimes a little hard to balance. So before I like to film, I like to make

00:12:11.580 sure I get everything ready. So I'm not running around with my makeup on. I had to film a TikTok

00:12:14.520 series, which is coming out soon. And a YouTube video. Merit and NARS have my heart. Like they

00:12:18.280 just really do it for me. I filmed my TikTok series, which was a couple of videos. And then

00:12:21.580 I was testing the sound and everything for my YouTube video. I then headed out to have a solo

00:12:25.060 date, which is usually not what I've been doing lately. I've been pretty. Oh my God.

00:12:29.220 When is she going to get to the work? It's a red light therapy. And how is she paying for this? 0.99

00:12:36.480 And I loved it guys. This is not sponsored in any way. And I have the time of my life. It was so

00:12:40.900 relaxing. They had peaceful meditation music, creative work. You need this alone time. It

00:12:45.020 is golden for your ideas. The shower was phenomenal. Like I actually want the shower. I read, I

00:12:49.400 journaled, which was the break I needed to edit again later. This. All right. All right. Another

00:12:57.260 day in the life. All right. I think I might have to edit out the sound. All right. Meditate journal.

00:13:05.500 Like, is she just documenting herself being unproductive? Like if you're going to be a beauty

00:13:11.340 channel as a woman, you got to be, you got to be hotter, right? Okay. Eggs. She's not even making 1.00

00:13:16.880 the eggs, right? I mean. Okay. Who is film? So she works like, oh my God. 0.88

00:13:31.580 All right. Is there. Who's paying for this? Does she have a boyfriend? Let me see. Who's

00:13:42.940 this fiance? Okay. There we go. Case closed. That's who's paying for this life. Cause she,

00:13:52.700 yeah, this girl does not have a career and I'm fair, right? There's a couple women in these 1.00

00:13:57.240 series that I do say, I don't, I want to see if I can find, oh, what is her name? I'm going to say

00:14:02.500 hair care. I want to show you guys an example of a girl that I think will last, like make accounts.

00:14:08.160 And oh, this girl, this girl. Now this girl is someone that I can see like making it on social

00:14:16.080 media. She has 1.7 million followers. Okay. Her YouTube links. Um, so she's got her other stuff.

00:14:25.540 She has her Amazon favorites, which she makes money off of. She can transcend her audience to

00:14:31.480 YouTube. That's big. Let's see how many stuff her YouTube video has. Yeah. So, okay. She's got 681,000

00:14:42.020 followers on YouTube. She got 45,000 people and she's actually treating this as a job, right?

00:14:49.180 If I like her stuff because she got like, it takes so much time to test all this shit. Now 0.99

00:14:56.920 it's not a hard job, right? But it's actually a service. So here, are we here? So flat and heavy.

00:15:04.720 And this is what it looks like after using the new, this is what my freshly styled hair normally

00:15:09.000 looks like. So flat and heavy. And this is what it looks like after using the new K18 Astrolift

00:15:14.560 Reparative Volume Spray. I have never tried a volumizer quite like this before. So I'm super

00:15:19.180 excited to partner. See, like I, as a woman, I already want to buy it. Like I already, you know,

00:15:24.540 K18 to tell you what's so special about it. Astrolift is a super fine lightweight. Also

00:15:29.420 increases hair dye so that I can blow dry after for even more volume. So

00:15:33.340 I tested 13 new drugstore lip product launches to help you figure out what is worth your

00:15:39.480 Okay. Do you guys see what I'm saying? Do you guys see the difference? Like

00:15:43.120 I'm money and what I think this girl, I think this girl is going to have a lifelong brand on TikTok 1.00

00:15:49.980 because all the girls on TikTok, like they go to her. She's their go to for that service. So if you're

00:15:57.000 on TikTok, you got to think, what service am I giving to women? Now, again, you can go the

00:16:03.620 entertainment route. There is money and entertainment, but there are very few women 1.00

00:16:08.980 that I've seen maintain vlogs over long periods of time. Now there was a girl back when I was on

00:16:16.220 TikTok who was really big. Her name was Sayla. And back in the day, she used to get stupid numbers

00:16:22.600 for TikTok videos. Oh, here, this girl, Sayla Brooks. And at the time she had 6 million 0.99

00:16:28.740 followers and her views at the time were stupid. So she would do this lifestyle stuff. Let me show 1.00

00:16:34.340 you. But this is just, it's harder to maintain. You're not wrong. Last week I jumped up this 70

00:16:40.220 foot bridge and I didn't close my legs, which resulted in me forming a third hole. The first

00:16:45.500 hospital I went to yesterday literally didn't know how to take care of me. And maybe he ended up

00:16:49.360 twice because they lost my sample. So I left and I went to a new specialist where they had pretty

00:16:54.340 little fish on the ceiling for me to look at. They decided I was going to need stitches, which

00:16:57.780 hurt so bad. I was literally crying on the table. And she was huge back in the day. I didn't have

00:17:02.940 insurance before, but I feel like. Okay. So you get the idea. She did like travel stuff. Do you know

00:17:07.940 what she's on now? OnlyFans. There is a huge, yeah, onlylinks.com slash Sayla. There is a huge

00:17:16.580 OnlyFans like pipeline. Okay. So I've got a problem. I got woken up last night surrounded

00:17:21.540 by cop cars. All for going to sleep. Let me explain. I'm living in a van in Portugal right

00:17:25.100 now. So yeah, she has to keep doing the exciting stuff. But again, like people are only going

00:17:30.980 to watch that for so long because then they'll just get the next 22 year old hot chick doing 1.00

00:17:38.680 the same thing. Right. And she had like a public relationship and she like, it was really entertaining

00:17:45.400 at the time. But as a viewer, you just get like, they have to keep doing like more drama

00:17:51.360 more. And TikTok is just not as like much of like the people on here just aren't as serious,

00:17:58.880 I guess. Really sick pen to camp on the cliff. So I drove my little happy self over here,

00:18:03.280 made some dinner, set up my bed and snuggled into the night. I hadn't even been asleep an

00:18:07.480 hour when I heard, which woke me right up. And if you're a van liper, you know, typically 1.00

00:18:12.100 you just pretend to be asleep, right? But I'm looking through these little light blue

00:18:14.540 curtains and there's a flashlight beaming through every single one. I tried to play dead,

00:18:18.540 but that didn't work either. Sat up, shuffled myself forward, started pulling some drawers

00:18:22.500 on my body. And then once I had a jacket on, I cracked this little door open. He started

00:18:26.040 explaining that this is a national park. I don't see signs for that anywhere. And that

00:18:29.900 cars could be here, but camper van. Yeah. So again, this stuff. So she was in a predicament

00:18:35.740 because now she's pretty much unemployable. She had a lifestyle that she was used to paying 1.00

00:18:40.920 for of travel. I mean, we all know, women don't know how expensive traveling is, but 1.00

00:18:44.980 men do, right? You guys. So she's used to that lifestyle. How is she going to pay for 0.99

00:18:49.280 it? It's either I have to do crazier and crazier stuff, sell my soul or get naked. And you know, 0.98

00:18:54.660 that was what she picked and power to her. Good luck. Okay. Let's see the, you know, some

00:19:00.060 people I do think they can make it, but these are so far today. Let's see if I think you can

00:19:06.520 do it. That's already a bad sign. Okay. Oh yeah. You don't want to film your quitting. That's a bad

00:19:21.340 idea. I'm honestly not doing so well, but I'm going to be submitting my notice. And my last day

00:19:37.200 is going to be on Friday. I'm sorry, but I quit. This was fun. Have a wonderful life. Love you.

00:19:46.940 Oh my God. That was like so horrible. And I also didn't. I bet it wasn't that horrible. Like

00:19:56.580 men, men can kind of separate it. They're like, okay, see ya. You know? Two weeks. Ugh. Fuck.

00:20:04.600 I just got a text that said the short notice leaves a sour taste of departure. And short notice. 1.00

00:20:16.940 Isn't two weeks standard? Or last day is Friday.

00:20:27.680 How are you going to lay people off and give them no notice? I don't have a, I don't have

00:20:33.520 a problem with that, but I just wouldn't put it on the internet. Look, when you're young,

00:20:38.480 the problem with TikTok, and I have to say, I'm not even mad. My TikTok got deleted sometimes

00:20:43.880 because when I was, some of the stuff, there's no barrier, right? Like, so you just, it's

00:20:50.020 so easy to click post, right? So yeah, you just gotta, I just, a word to the wise of the

00:20:57.600 next generation of young women that are doing this. Don't put that stuff on the internet. 1.00

00:21:02.160 Um, yeah.

00:21:04.400 You know, like four days now that today to Friday, that's four days. It's Tuesday. My

00:21:11.000 last day's Friday. But

00:21:13.340 at my company, when I quit, they just, they, your last day is the day you quit. Like they

00:21:21.420 don't want you touching company property. I don't know. I think cause it's sales. A lot

00:21:26.600 of people steal the, like, they go try to steal the customers at another company. I wasn't

00:21:30.940 doing that. Um, okay. Do, did she quit to be a YouTuber? Let's see. She's in Miami now.

00:21:40.600 Um, what is she doing? Box braids. So is she a hairstylist? So now she's doing pole dancing. 1.00

00:21:48.140 Okay. Okay. Is she a stripper? Spend the day with us. Okay. So did she, which one is she? 1.00

00:22:00.640 Okay. So now she's a product researcher. 0.98

00:22:17.580 Is that on Tik TOK or? Well, if she did want to be a YouTuber, I don't think she could make 0.94

00:22:25.580 it. So, well, good luck. Maybe try stripping. Um, yeah. Listen to dream girl here. 0.99

00:22:39.340 Oh, she's going to try to be a singer. Let's see. 1.00

00:22:41.740 I mean, it's all right. I'm not impressed one way or the other. Okay. Sorry. I'm going

00:22:52.500 to get upset. That's okay. So I was an educator in ed tech. Um, and then I moved into what I

00:22:59.880 would consider the corporate world. I'm doing, um, taxes now and just, I know it's not for

00:23:06.880 me. Yeah. Yeah. Why the emotion? Tell me what's going on. Um, I don't know. Um, I want to be,

00:23:14.880 I want to be doing what I want to do. Um, I love gardening. I love landscaping. I love outdoors.

00:23:21.880 I love being in my environment at home. Um, I just want to build my own thing. Yeah. Um,

00:23:29.640 what's the emotion though? Are you just emotionally exhausted and you're just at the wits end?

00:23:33.960 What's causing this? Um, yeah, it is. I'm driving to work every day like this.

00:23:38.880 Is it because you're in a situation where you feel like you can't do the job? Is it? Yeah. You

00:23:45.040 know, men, I mean, how do you think coal miners feel? How do you think like, I mean, one in,

00:23:51.800 one in the comments, have you done a shitty job? What was it? What was the shittiest job 0.88

00:23:55.800 you've ever done? And I think that's what's causing you to feel the way you're feeling. Am I right?

00:24:00.760 Yeah, exactly. All right. So the other portion of that is, um, I, I doubled my income

00:24:07.120 and you know, and so there's that. So you now also, you feel guilty. I hate this thing. That's

00:24:14.480 making my life better. What's wrong with you? Number one, Stephanie, you haven't, you haven't 0.99

00:24:19.680 wasted your life. Okay. Number two, you're not selfish. You are not a jerk or an idiot. You fill in

00:24:31.320 whatever the voice is telling you for feeling like, I don't want to do this, even though I've doubled my

00:24:36.600 income. That's not true either. And then the third thing I want you to hear, Stephanie, is it's not

00:24:42.480 too late and you can do something that you love and make enough money. All right. So today's the day.

00:24:49.260 Today's the day we begin to change. Now we're going to do this really wise. Okay. So here's the deal.

00:24:54.640 Yeah. I'm not even against people quitting. I quit, but I quit in a dumb way and it did work out. I

00:24:59.940 don't know. Like I did. Well, to be fair, I quit to go play volleyball overseas. That was my plan.

00:25:08.140 I had the YouTube thing on the side and then my season got canceled because of COVID. And my dad was

00:25:15.580 like, why don't you just try it for a year while you're waiting for the season to start? So stupid, 1.00

00:25:21.080 not stupid. I don't know how I could have predicted the season being canceled because we had like a start 1.00

00:25:27.360 date and they're like, nope, next year. I was like, okay, thank you COVID. Um, but okay.

00:25:33.340 How much money do you make now? I make 40, uh, yeah, 47. Okay. And are you in a double income

00:25:39.740 family? I am. Okay. And what were you, so you were making roughly 24, somewhere in that range,

00:25:47.040 23, 24. 22-ish. Yeah. 22-ish. You were. That is like no money. Oh my God. And what were you doing

00:25:54.660 there? I was an ed tech. I was an educator. Yeah. And you didn't like that either, right? Sucked the

00:26:00.200 life out of you too. I loved, absolutely loved my students and my coworkers. Um, just, I got burned 0.98

00:26:06.880 out with it. I get it. I get it. So, so tell me, now listen, this is really important stuff because

00:26:11.800 it's so interesting. We have better work conditions, but we complain more as women. 0.66

00:26:17.440 Your brain momentarily. So I need you to stay in this moment of clarity right now.

00:26:21.440 Okay. If money was on an object and I guaranteed you the 47,000, but you got to do something in

00:26:27.720 the, in the outdoors, landscaping, gardening, working for a greenhouse. I don't know. You

00:26:32.680 come up with the answer. What would you do tomorrow? I would probably open my own landscaping

00:26:38.160 business. Yes. Yes. There it is. Stephanie breakthrough. I don't know anything about starting a landscaping

00:26:47.540 business. I have no comment on this. If that's a viable career path. It seems like it would

00:26:52.560 be though, but you guys let me know in the comments. I'm sure you will. They'll either be

00:26:57.860 like, Pearl, that's a terrible idea or maybe it's a good one. I don't know. Now, Stephanie,

00:27:01.960 listen, we're not going to open up the landscaping business tomorrow, but that's not the point.

00:27:07.820 The point is what needs to be true. And what if she tries it and then she wants to quit that

00:27:12.820 too? Oh no. Stephanie to be able to eventually own her own landscaping business. If you went back 1.00

00:27:22.220 to making 22,000, would that put you and your family in hardship? No. Okay. So, so you see what

00:27:29.680 I'm not saying you need to. Yeah. So what, why is she stressing? She probably wants to buy something 0.97

00:27:34.600 she can't buy anymore. Do that. What I'm saying is what needs to be true for Stephanie to get on the

00:27:40.480 path towards owning her own landscaping business. So I think you need to get into that space 0.71

00:27:46.340 to get your soul filled back up. Yeah. Now describe really quickly for me in 30 seconds or less

00:27:53.760 what your landscaping business will look like. What services or products would you offer? Go really

00:27:58.360 quick. Say it. So yeah, just basic flowers, maybe even wedding bouquet, you know, arrangements,

00:28:05.940 things like that. Just that's different. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. So there you go. Who's doing

00:28:11.520 that in Augusta, Maine right now? You don't have to say it out loud, but who is it? You got it in

00:28:15.100 your mind? Yeah. I know. Yes. It's funny that you're saying this because I literally went through

00:28:20.100 this scenario in my head this morning. Well, good on you because you're exactly right. All I'm doing

00:28:24.540 right now is confirming what you already thought. You're just scared to go after it. Yeah, I am a little

00:28:30.720 bit. Yeah, but you don't need to be. You just told me that if you took a 50% pay cut and went back

00:28:35.940 to make it 22, that it wouldn't put you all in financial hardship. And I'm not even saying

00:28:40.340 you've got to do that, but what if you leave in two weeks or four weeks or six weeks, this

00:28:46.460 current gig, and you step into a landscaping company and you're office managing for them

00:28:50.920 or you're doing all kinds of things. You bring so much experience to the table. You're good

00:28:55.080 with details. That's what makes you good with accounting. What if you became the office manager

00:28:59.940 and accountant and bookkeeper for a place where you actually got to walk in. Is that a good

00:29:04.500 plan? Men in the comments, let me know. Flowers all day. I got nothing. I know nothing about

00:29:10.840 that industry. Be a better step forward. Yep. And what if you started running their business

00:29:17.440 and you started helping them run their small business and take over their scheduling and

00:29:22.320 take over their hiring or whatever. And all of a sudden you're in the landscaping business

00:29:25.960 and you're learning how to run a landscaping business for something. Okay. Now he's going to

00:29:30.800 hype her up a little bit. Okay. So modern women have entered the workforce and we're not liking 1.00

00:29:36.340 it too much. So let me know your thoughts in the comments, please. Let me know what you

00:29:40.880 want me to react to next. Like the video and I'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye-bye.
