Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@TomBilyeu says : What advice do you have to those who are struggling with their current job?>> <<@michaelinnis1715 says : Thanks Tom, really needed to hear this today. Stay safe, and keep up the great work 🤘>> <<@pacificpearl7165 says : I really needed to hear this>> <<@LettingLoose_NJ says : Tom-your content is awesome! have been working for the same company for 25+ years, on the same team for 15 of those. I am a subject matter expert and am great at my job! I am now at a point that I just feel absolutely stuck and unfulfilled! I have so much more to offer. I work in the financial services industry. What advice can You give me? Thanks>> <<@abigaillooney9198 says : Thank you for this. Helped me a ton in my new job. But what about people struggling to even get a new job. It took me 7 months to get my own job. I feel that is not okay, what about these people stuck in the overloaded, crippled by too many options and lack of educational leading programs to help people understand how to find a legit job in this scammed filled, third party/unknown employer, understanding the jobs, what you qualify for, how to work with the digital system, and I can go on. But you are only working on having us teach ourselves these very complicated things. Yes, that has saved me but it took me 7 months and without the support i had going through learning curve. I would be still be in a minimum wage job with no future. This digital era is exciting but sufficating. Thank you if not for your videos and my support system i would not be were i am at. Thank you!>> <<@ronatkins1133 says : NASA is Good! SpaceX is BETTER!!! 💥💥💥>> <<@mohammadreaz5372 says : 🛑🛑🛑The biggest deception !!! 🛑🛑🛑 The Most Important Videos are "Beware of Angels" And "Charmed by Darkness", See them Now on Youtube.>> <<@VENUEATHENS says : Worse, I hate my life and everyone in it.. 🤣😭>> <<@Kipper1894 says : The fan the flames of passion section was really insightful.>> <<@freezerburn84 says : In Florida very few of any employer reward hard work they only give you more and yeaaa free pizza ain't paying rent so most of this advice is privileged nonsense within a specific type of industry. Never operate beyond the pay grade Never work for free Disclaimers : with the exceptions of applicable merit or charitable situations Now that skill set ableist mentality is ridiculous every job deserves a living wage. I rarely hear so much that's not accurate or blatantly privileged without true perspective - no generational wealth, no college accessible without crippling debt in any field. I listened closely to the majority of the quality interviews the secret is that the most successful had a friend or family let them live rent free with board while they skill develop or the mentor lit the path and cut a 20yr journey to 10yrs..>> <<@jamesrussell8583 says : Here I sit, along a road, which I haven't a clue, Blue is snawing on a bone, it's midnight, I just shiftedy truck to park. A second from now I will give t all got. Another day.>> <<@WilliamJonesChess says : Top Moments It is amazing what u can accomplish if u do not care about the credit 2:45 “Passion is not an archaeological dig. It's an architectural build.” 15:05 Wow If u do not know where u want to be in 5 years, you are already there. Wow. 23:45 Physics of Progress 26:55>> <<@jn8922 says : My ex used to believe this... Followed advice just like this. Really cared about company and gave his input into things he was not hired for. They used him and then worked him out of the company as quickly as possible. It rubbed up the managers up the wrong way. He was a smart guy, had a lot more experience than his managers and could execute his tasks really fast. He helped anyone that asked - even drew up training manuals which were used time and again for trainees. He called me in a state saying they made him redundant - he was bitter because he cared so much and gave his all. My advice to him was "that's not your father's company. Shut up and do what they pay you for and go home." That advice served him well because he's calmer, less stressed and no one is threatened by him at his new job.>> <<@FIVESTRZ says : 23:55 man that was a gut shot and I love it>> <<@vicky1717able says : what's the name of the book he recommended I couldn't catch it>> <<@imu6085 says : Thanks a lot Tom for the tips. Want to share my experience to add couple of different aspects. i worked in europe/UK and asia (approx a decade in each, different cultures, and not the same set of behaviors is helpful. some common learnings: 1. your boss is an important person. if he's good for your career, stay. Else leave after you have learned the skills from that group. in some organizations, and depending on your soft skills, it is possible to bypass a boss, and network with other seniors. that can also be done with care if your boss is not helping ur career. 2. try to find what is that your boss and other people in power (those who can promote you) are trying to achieve (it may not be always problem solving!), and where you can help them achieve that thing. it may be difficult sometimes, as they may not tell you directly or it can differ from your views on things. also take care that you jumping in solving a problem should not upset your boss/seniors, as they may not want you to take the credit, or they may see you as a future threat. this is not the norm, but it surely happens sometimes. Be aware of the company culture and the power dynamics in the organization (and its not the same what you can read from org structure!). 3. there are also roles where growth is not possible, however hard you try. Either because the seniors have already picked their favorite for that role (and its not easy to know that), or other reasons in that organization. it's better to learn and move in such cases. 4. taking risk of 'doing it wrong' is unavoidable i belive. but learn from others (and internet) and try to minimize that risk. take calculated risks. practice when possible for tough conversations. 5. after some time, technical skills become less valuable than people management skills. i guess this is true for most orgs. 6. some people will have the advantage of having learned from someone in family about corporate culture and other useful soft skills. others e.g. who had no family member gone to college etc, will have to learn more. 7. there are many people like you, competing for same stuff, and eventually 'career' is not the topmost thing in life. (@Matt B has put it appropriately). try to help others along the way, dont step on others, and try that others dont step on you. its great if you can derive a meaning from your work, else you may use your work to support an activity that gives some meaning/fulfilment in life. (else work becomes dull and burden) 8. understand your industry, plan a future and work towards it. keep your skills reasonably updated for your industry, so that you remain marketable. i hope some of above is helpful for some people. wish you a good day!>> <<@geraldinecolvin8662 says : Backwards Cap Guy.>> <<@joramcastle says : hello Tom! what kind of webcam are you using? it looks cool.>> <<@azhaanebrahim4887 says : Words can't express how much I appreciate you work and this YouTube channel the tips and advice and you give how to change my life around I'm getting better everyday even just a little bit the way you do everything the way do anything sometimes you have opportunities right in front of but we don't have the humility and to developed the skills execution to get the job done there is opportunity everywhere if you just look for it👍🏼>> <<@ralfy5270 says : OMG TOM! such a good breakdown of passion! Starts at 16:30 check it out Lad's & G's>> <<@acturner8 says : This is really on point, but some of us truly are in prison. Thank you for your good work.>> <<@jeremybalizenter2896 says : Horrible advice. Much better to give your job the least energy, effort, and time possible. This will give you the needed time to learn investing and escape the rat race forever.>> <<@josea1957 says : Great video. I think your advertisement section has an editing error, looks cut off.>> <<@philipthomas1016 says : will forever be indebted to you 😇 you have changed my whole life i will continue to preach about your name for the world to her you have saved me from a huge financial debt with just little investment thanks so much Mrs Ethel Arthur>> <<@Strife72 says : Providing value in the form of goods or services really is the fundamental foundation of any successful business. Finding a way to provide this value consistently grants you financial security.>> <<@marksamaha9109 says : Tom I believe thee Guests would be GREAT for your show https://www.youtube.com/c/MarcAllenAuthor https://www.youtube.com/c/BruceHLiptonPhD Mark>> <<@motivationeye says : This🎆🎆 man has done more to change people's lives than almost anyone else in the last decade......😊 I WILL NEVER GET PIEND 😔😔>> <<@Lucidtwo says : Hell yeah 😎>> <<@boybata84 says : I don't know what world Tom is in or who his audience is (likely the young and naive whom Tom can make money on), but this is old news and we are already expected to behave the way he is advising. The boss do not fear employees exiting.>> <<@fgbtryuk says : I think job is job. It’s not something joyful you don’t have to love it, but I really hate my job>> <<@mikeywheels says : bless you brother. Not enjoying the job after giving everything. It's time to get creative>> <<@johnb.7979 says : In my 54 years, time and time again whether it be with myself or a co-worker, putting yourself out there and proving yourself just leads to an employer taking advantage of you, period. If you show your employer that you're willing to take on new challenges they'll just think you'll continue doing this for the same rate of pay since you're doing it now.>> <<@fitnessuniverse111 says : Meaningful action with purpose and helping everything ..outperform anyone and trust your skillset... Maybe somewhere in the western progressive firm,otherwise its just exploitation of all kind,without possibility for improvement or taking off the weight you've been bearing so far. Now,if you are good with playing social games,good with manipulation,thats the other story - one has to be good at those things...>> <<@BKvanDam says : "There is no limit to the amount of good you can do, if you don't care who gets the credit." —Ronald Reagan>> <<@elcaptitancivil2860 says : I needed this so bad. Thankyou>> <<@Paradys8 says : I thought you have a more holistic approach to this subject. Not only working for a ‘company’.. How to work ‘MORE’ and be a better slave/sheep …>> <<@Paradys8 says : What about if I don’t wanna work for a company? I don’t like ‘competition’>> <<@lessonsin30s says : 'Working hard for something we don't care about is called stress: Working hard for something we love is called passion.' - Simon Sinek>> <<@rickcruz5582 says : I hate the people I work with, I really like what I do and I am good at it.>> <<@Crazyibbes says : Really Many Huge Thanks for this talk Tom.....Man...... you hit it on the nail all the time.......................! yes, if it is not clear, then you are already there!>> <<@pellepet2 says : According to tinder everyone is happy whit their job, also that they have a wonderful life but missing the little piece called relationship. If u read Swedish tinder.>> <<@artlopeztattoo says : So… follow this advices and youll get great at a job you hate, not making much sense. Why not trying knowing yourself better and do something you dont hate and you are naturally interested and oriented to it? Yes that exist i just did it. Im doing multiple 6 figures financing cars and got great at it and did kinda what tom is saying following grant cardone info. but my passion always was drawing. My goal is to live off my passion tattoing at the end of this year. Pursuing fulfillment.>> <<@chatwithcatt says : Excellent advice!!! Thank you!!!>> <<@autonomydepthconsciousness7633 says : I really liked your quote referring to what your life will be like in 5 years if you don't have a vision in mind now.>> <<@dmaneagledick says : *BULLSHIT... I WORK IN HEALTHCARE AND I HAVE SEEN FIRSTHAND GOOD HARD WORKING NURSES THAT HAVE GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR THE COMPANY... ONLY TO BE FIRED NOT FOR THEIR POOR WORK PERFORMANCE...BUT A PERSONALITY CONFLICT WITH THE BOSS... PEOPLE WHO HAVE GIVEN 15 OR MORE YEARS TO ONE COMPANY... THEY WILL CUT YOU LOOSE AT THE DROP OF A HAT WHEN THEY FEEL THE NEED TO... I'VE PERSONALLY WORKED 60-70 HOURS A WEEK (ESPECIALLY DURING COVID-19) AND MY JOB WAS ALMOST TAKEN AWAY FROM ME FOR MERELY ASKING FOR SOME TIME OFF DUE TO BURNOUT...COMPANIES LOOK AT EMPLOYEES AS CATTLE... THEY HAVE NO CARES OR CONCERNS ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL LIFE.. WHETHER YOU HAVE KIDS... BILLS... ETC. YOU CAN WORK YOUR FINGERS TO THE BONE AND THEY DON'T CARE*>> <<@tomforde8321 says : This is 100% accurate. I am living proof of this. I had my own 3 feet from gold situation, I had the knowledge to keep going. This was all thanks to Think and Grow Rich. Thanks to Bob Proctor I live by the motto “The cave you fear to enter, holds the treasure you seek”. Believe and achieve. ✌️❤️👊>> <<@Abcdxyz11534 says : I have failed to overcome the shame and pain of past academic failures. I came last in my olevel exams in my school. I went from a tier 1 school to a tier 3 school where I sat Alevel. I got bad grades at a level as well and I failed to progress to university. I did a diploma in law thereafter but because of all regrets and worry,I didn't do well and got a pass diploma which still wasn't enough for me to advance to university. This has haunted me to date! I regret a lot because I know I could have done better but because of so many problems and misfortunes in my life I failed! Unfortunately people judge the results without knowing the story behind it! I'm now 28 years old and still hurting with regret! Currently I work with a law office as a clerk. Some people think I'm a lawyer,yet I'm not,and that also worries me a lot. I have wanted to go back to school,but I'm currently financially unstable. How can I overcome this pain of failures and obstacles? How can I turn my life around?>> <<@bikecameraaction3334 says : Take it from me (with 40 years work experience), if you’re just looking out for yourself (promotion, more money, better title), and you’re always trying to outperform others, you’ll always be miserable. Whatever your job. The only way to be happy (at work or otherwise) is to stop looking for status and validation from your work. Let go of this ridiculous idea of success (which is only ever comparative) and focus on helping other people live better lives. That’s it. That’s the secret to life-long happiness and contentment. Whatever you have - time, energy, love, give it away and you’ll have an abundance more to give.>> <<@Lazarusrizing says : Man, this resonated with me. Thank you. I recently left my job of many years and it was initially a terrifying to do. While I miss the folks, I still don't think I did the wrong thing. I have peace about leaving. I'm working something that pays more now while trying to set out for that particular goal I have. For me, it was like a nagging conscience. I loved the people I worked with. I really wanted to go above and beyond. But I was unhappy. I was praying and turning to God to help me to know what to do. When you have comfort and you're familiar with everything, but you're sensing that you want to-- or need to leave it behind. Again, it's terrifying. I need to say that I couldn't do it without God. Thanks Tom for this really practical explanation-- especially about burn out which I was experiencing. You made me less guilty for wanting to take time off to rest.>> <<@visualpurposedriven8725 says : Great work>>
