Definitely agree with the mindless part when the job is mentally draining it’s the worst

This is key--assessment of what is half of your waking life. This is my weekly topic for my own subscribers. Career. One thing that can really bring a person into depression is 40 hours a week of hating their job. The job is literally almost half of the waking life. The problem many people have is that they have a craving for security. The person will tolerate being unhappy if that is their normality. People would rather have secure bitterness than the fear of stepping off the cliff. The fact is that you can change your career anytime. At 40 or 50. I once knew a car salesman of 30 years who did really well but started to hate his job--so became a nurse at 57. He is now a travel contractor. His friends told him he would be 57 by the time he got licensed as an RN. He told them he would be 57 anyway. So he will now spend the next ten years doing something he likes instead of something he hates. But you have to decide if it is life on the sea you hate or just that ship you're traveling on. In other words--do you hate your trade or just the company you're at? But whatever you aren't happy with you must change and continue to advance yourself. Hope this helps someone---Charles.

Work to live, dont live to work. Been there done that and its not worth it. In my 44 years on this earth more money has never made me happier, ever. I think its important to keep an open mind and be honest with yourself about what you are and arent willing to accept in your life. Opportunities abound but are often missed by folks whos thinking has become too narrow. I made it a point to try out all the different occupations I thought I might be interested in to see what each was all about. This allowed me to expand my skill set while deciding if that career path was right for me. We do kids a great disservice with that whole 'what do you want to be when you grow up?' nonsense. Its fine to remain focused once your eye is on the prize, but life doesnt care about your goals so you need to be able to adapt, which a lot of young kids are unable or unwilling to do because it doesnt fit with their 5 year plan. And always remember that life is too important to be taken seriously. My 2 cents Semper Gumby

I just gave you the key my friend.

follow your passion to the extent to which you can afford it

I've worked in IT for 25 years. Passionate about it - but I am also passionate about things outside of IT. Find something you are passionate about -- when work gets you down and introduces stress, your passion for what you are doing will carry you through. The problem comes when people look at the pay a career offers without being passionate about the thing for its own sake. That's a road to disaster.

This is so true. One of my good friends loves motorcycles but became a car mechanic. He told me he became a car mechanic because he didn't want to lose is love of motorcycles by working on them all day.

I can see what he’s saying. When I first started training kickboxing and mma as a hobby I loved it. I’d go every class but then when I started competing it was less about having fun and learning new things to “this is a job” “someone is training hard to hurt me in front of my family and friends” “I want to win” “I don’t want to lose” I want to put on a good show” “I could possibly die”. Completely changed my mindset on training. And that’s why I have a ton of respect for pro fighters when it all comes down to it (yes even mctapper to an extent) To decide to try and make a living going from training camp to training camp is very taxing physically and on the psyche.

I was just gonna quote Mike. I ended up doing just that in following my opportunities and being so grateful every day for those.

I worked for a large company for 20 years. Four years ago I went off on my own. I'm 46yo now, and although I'm making 2/3 of what I made at my large company 8 years ago at age 38, it was the BEST move I ever made becoming my own boss. Quality of life has improved 10x. I really love what I do now-- I never loved what I did before. And I will continue to grow as the years go on. As always, great presentation.

I am trying to be a DJ and Producer, still have a day job at the same time- but believe me, there is a massive difference between people that do it as a hobby, and the difference between those doing it as a career. The level of actual work both in the studio and outside the studio- social media, website, youtube, soundcloud, possibly merch.. etc, not the same as making music and DJing for fun in the bedroom.

Summary: The reason we enjoy our hobbies is partially because we get to do it for fun, not all the time or money. Look at your life situation, and see if you can have both a life of passion and money, this doesn't mean to have money and passion from work, but instead maybe have the money come from your job and your passion outside your job. As your financial situation improves, you can dedicate less and less time to work for money and more time towards a mission or passion that you value. The main key to make this work out, is to avoid becoming a slave to to money by instead mastering it.

There is a continuum between a job you are passionate about and a job you absolutely hate.

If you can find something that you like reasonably well, with good pay and benefits, a decent boss, hours that fit your lifestyle, etc; you should be in good shape.

Are you the real SAUCE WALKA

Here's one thing that helped me choosing jobs and what I wanna do when I become an adult. You are in the middle of an intersections between two paths.On your left is a job that pays well but takes years to get (for example for me it's being a general surgeon) ,on the right is something you've always dreamed of or a job that you've admired and showed a whole lot of intrest but dosent pay as well (firefighter) you have two paths to choose. Now you have all the money in the world right now and you have to choose, what is your passion which one do you want to do more and if your thought leans to the left or right then that's what you choose and that's the right choice. You do what you want without the thought of money , "a man only needs so much money the rest is for showing off". Do what you love and not what you have to for money. Now this is only for kids or teen maybe for adults who have struggle choosing what they want to do in life. Money is temporarily and won't buy a second of time.

I’ve been waiting to hear something like this. Thank you.

My hobby became my career and I don't regret it but what I learnt is that work is work. I do more of it and it's harder but it's also far more satisfying being self employed.

Why choose? Do both. I am an amateur writer, I’ve been writing for twenty years and love it, but there is no money in it unless you can pay for editing and cover art. So I’m working a boring job that pays well, I have paid off my school loans, my car loans, and am track to retire in 5 years. And I still have the time to write and will have the money to succeed as a writer. Be practical, but don’t give up your dreams.

I play music for people. I am passionate about it. I wouldn't change it for anything. I love what I do. I am good at it.I still need money... I need to make a living.

Became a truck driver at 21 I absolutely hate it but the money supports my family and I work 70+ hour weeks I hate it

Thank you for reassuring me I made the best decision from me and my upcoming family.

I also think people forget how much work goes into making a passion into a living. I am a writer, every day I get up and write and edit before and after work. A lot of times I have to say no to going out with friends because I have to work on my 'passion' but to me writing is a craft, not so much a passion. The passion is storytelling, the work is the writing part, and people have this mindset of passion being all about enjoyment and happiness. Sure, sometimes, I am happy at my craft mostly when I see one of my books done, but sitting down hours after hours to work, not always the best part of my day.

@@theamericanforester Well, it's pretty self-explanatory. Which part wasn't i clear on? I've since got a new job. MUCH happier now, but still prefer to not be around people.

Here's a third way of looking at it: that job that pays more and sets you up in the future will also require more time and energy, and may leave you drained to the point that you won't even have anything left to pour into your passion. The more you push your passion to the side the more likely it will stay that way. Something you bullshit around with a few hours a month. You will most definitely regret it, and won't be happy in either the short or the long term, in my opinion. BUT, if you can be methodical and realistic with how much time and energy you can allocate throughout the day to each task, you might be able to make it work. I would just be cautious as to over-reaching and trying to bulldoze your way through it all because you know what's harder than trying to build one career path for yourself? Trying to build two. Or trying to build three. Etc... You can only thin yourself out so far. As a rule of thumb, you should expect to have to put 40 hours into your passion ON TOP of the 40 hours you are already putting into your job. That's about 80 hours a week, not including all of your other priorities (commute, cleaning, cooking, maybe you have kids to take care of, etc etc). Even the highest-performing human beings in the world cap out at around 100 hours of pure work per week (not counting special short-term situations like crunch time in the coding/gaming industry, or navy seal bootcamp, etc). For average human beings, regular every-day people, I would venture to say that 80-90 hours a week of pure work is probably about their max limit. The most important thing, imo, is calculating every single hour of the week you can afford to spend on each task, and building a plan from there. We all only get 24 hours a day, 168 hours a week. Just my two cents.

100% with the "click to create" phenomenon. I think Jocko is dead on with that.

@Jokko Willink - Dude, I am in the third decade of my career and you are spot on. Its really hard to make your job your hobby. I was an NCAA Tennis player and grew to hate it to the point I hung up the racket. But, I loved my jobs (at times), and was able to capitalize on it. Luckily, I also met people in my career who have experience like those who trained you. But we all burn out at times and have delusions. I've draged myself to the paycheck for the junk job (no car/house), but a daughter's education to build for... either way, you speak truth. You are in SD, a SEAL, connected to my brother and friends.

If you scrape by doing something that you love, what do you do when you’re older and want a home and family? I couldn’t answer that question so I chose mindless job with a future while doing passion projects during free time.

There could be a few potential concerns with this scenario. First, it's important for an instructor to maintain a positive and inclusive attitude towards students of all levels, including beginners. Singling out white belts or expressing a reluctance to teach them may create an atmosphere of exclusion or discourage new students from joining. Secondly, if the instructor has been running their own practice for six years, it's expected that they have developed a level of expertise. Part of being an instructor is guiding students at various skill levels, including teaching fundamental techniques like armlocks. Refusing to teach white belts might limit the instructor's ability to share their knowledge and contribute to the growth of their students. Lastly, if the instructor no longer wants to teach certain techniques or work with specific student levels, it may be worth considering whether they need to reevaluate their role as an instructor or seek additional training opportunities to further develop their skills and instructional methods.

I like it when Echo talks at least as much as Jocko. That doesn't happen every episode.

I have a hobby CNC machine shop in my garage that I turned into a side buiness. Being a production machine operator is not what I enjoy but my long term goal is to teach the train employees to run my machines. My point is if you don't like the repetiveness of your passion, grind it out until you can hire it out and be the creator of the process.

Echo is a bad ass

So true.

Dont (just) go where the money is. Follow your heart and be willing to suffer. Often times there is a different approach to your passion. For example if you like fighting, you dont have to be a professional MMA fighter, maybe its better for you to join the army or work in law enforcement.

I play guitar because I love it. I work my job because my kids need a home and food. Put things in their proper place.

People don’t get it that your spending determines how you spend your life (how much you work to pay for the gadgets etc) & how little free time you might have.

Good conversation. A point I feel like I should add to Echos closing idea is I’m someone who likes to be self sufficient and in doing so I realize what goes into the production of a lot of items. What frustrates me about spending money is corporation’s putting a ridiculous price on cheap items like car parts for example that only cost a pocket full of change to make, but cost an arm and a leg for the average consumer to buy.... lol capitalism I wouldn’t trade it though!

To me it depends on the circumstances and passions can easily Die off money can't

The other issue with trying to monetize your passion is that sometimes we aren’t necessarily good at what we are passionate about. Just bc we love to do something doesn’t mean we’re good at it therefore will never make money at it.

Not passionate about work but it pays excellent. So I can take my pay and live a great life outside of work. Work hard. Play harder. Echo Charles is spot on with spending. Its why so many are in debt.

buying clothing, hurts like a mofo buying video games, is fun and awesome

I have found that money can corrupt if what you are doing isn’t meaningful. If what you do isn’t meaningful to you and is simply transactional, it will make you very unhappy and sap the very life out of whatever you are doing. Maybe the answer to this question is to first find purpose, then find meaningful work, work hard and stay disciplined; that could offer a healthy balance and lead to a very fulfilling life.

Passion for sure. I think when you're sitting around shitting your pants in the later years, you'd be more happy knowing you did what you love.

Anything thing you can have "fun" spending money on is things that are wise investments and can give some kind of return. Property/larger property is good. Property is a great investment but you can do things on that property that you love, such as put a woodworking shop up, raise chickens, grow a garden. Not only are they things you enjoy but you could turn all that into income, especially if times get hard. Organic eggs at the store are between $6 - $9 per dozen. Also, good tools are a good investment. You might buy it because you enjoy building on the side but if times get rough those high quality tools can open up a lot of potential to build something people want/need or be a handyman or something.

Passions

“yeh”

I think Jocko and Dave Ramsey should co host a clip to address this one

This is a paradigm issue. Those who live in the world of classical computing operate in binary. Those of us that are a bit more quantum can see a choice as AND/BOTH and use that option to more quickly come to the desired outcome. There is one reason you might have to choose between money and passion, that would be that you're not good enough to operate in a quantum paradigm or that the quantum solution is incompatible with your desired end state. In which case, that is a choice. You also have the choice to reject the inputs and wait for a better option. Also, know that in sequence problems are harder to solve the farther they go along, in traditional gauntlet fashion. Also, be aware of the secretary problem.

Hey Jocko, Thank you for your service and I love all of your podcasts. I have a question. I am 37, slightly out of shape but not in horrible shape. I also have a pretty good traditional wrestling as a base. I was thinking of Judo+Muay Thai as a possible training mix. The clinch is a great tool and I believe Judo could slide right into that to make an awesome mix. What do you think? Thanks again for your service!

don’t have open hands in a street fight ..ball them up but stay loose...well practice staying loose when sparring. that’s a fallacy...” don’t punch in a street fight “. so when they punch and ur hand is open it can catch ur fingers or jam them . then how will any Jui Jitsu submission work if their hands r broken? cops don’t know because they never been in street fights. and use elbows to break their arms...don’t just strike but perry with them . open hands to perry but when u recover back into a fist. off the subject but thought I’d share that. setting up kids to get destroyed with some real ones.

Echo charles is the guy who picks basketweaving in DnD XD

I think where people get confused here is they think less money is the same thing as not enough money. If you can make enough money to live off of at your passion you should be doing that and over time trying to make as much as you can. If you can't make enough money to live off of or at least in the near future then it's not really a career and more of a hobby.

What is your advice to someone who is just dead on the inside. I'm not passionate about much of anything - including life.

Jocko needs to get Jeff cavalier from athleanx on the podcast

Medical theory on Echo's muscles......I personally have larger biceps/arms than normal (not bragging)....They have always been developed and bigger than the other person I work out with and doing the same work outs. I had to get elbow surgery and they had to do an arm block...when they ultrasound my armpit they found I had 2 arteries pumping blood into my arm---they checked the other side because it's sort of rare but also not un-common and same story. So my theory is that Echo has 4 arteries in each arm pumping blood into those things.

What a couple of negative Nancy’s! We all have to work no matter what, so why not make a hobby into a job? Can it get repetitive, sure like anything else can. It’s all about your attitude and drive. You can choose to be happy or miserable in your situation. If you loose your passion, any job WILL suck. Working for yourself has more positives than negatives by a country mile in my experience. A hobby turned into a full time job is a added bonus to me. If this was a bad idea, we wouldn’t have successful car builders, artist, architects, you name it. The only caveat is is you will have to work for it, but what’s new?

bowling was a great hobby then i got very good at it and tried it as a living in the pba....took 2 years hated my hobby...havent picked up a ball in 20 years

Money is the only way

24 year old and just been made redundant from a job I don’t like (scaffolding) I don’t know what else to do because I’m trained in that job and now I’ve got no qualifications to do anything else. Why’s life so hard man

@Jocko Podcast . Mornin' boyz'! Jocko and Charles; what advice you'd give someone with a family to support, but their job appears to be wrecking their life? Also, when do you two know it's time to change jobs? . One of my co-workers, and best friends in the world, is struggling with stress as work. He was promoted into a position that he was reluctant to take, but the money is VERY good. Over the past two years, I've watched work stress push him to his breaking point. He's lost most of his hair and has put on plenty of stress pounds. We talk daily, at length, and he now finds himself, pushing 50 and in a job that he doesn;t feel he can replace. What can I do to help my best friend? . Everyone wakes up, once in a while, and says "God... I don't want to go to work today." If I find myself saying that more than once, every two weeks, I do a re-evaluation of my situation. I look to see if there is anything that I can change at my work place, or life, to make the job better. Afterwards, if I find myself saying it more than once a week,I pull-up stakes and find another job. I even go so far as to give my 2-weeks without even having another job to go to. I find this self-induced state of emergency helps me focus better (ADHD much?) and I've always landed on my feet. How do you handle this in your lives? . Thank you both, for all of the hard work you and your team does to put these podcasts together. v/r Kev
