Hey All! Just wanna say thank you to all the comments (keep em coming), and if you haven't seen here's my response to some of the top comments I've gotten here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f6eqZ5CVy6icaGw.html

The key is finding two jobs that have minimum amount of meetings. That’s the hard part. I started a second job and within the first week I had 8 meetings on a Thursday…..that was my last day there lol

Recently turned 24. I'm broke, live with my parents and don't know what to do with my life. I've tried applying to almost every remote job I could find on Indeed and have had no luck at all. This video has really inspired me to keep pushing no matter what.

He really just admitted all this without a single regret. Props

I did this back in the 90's, resigned from one job, they kept me. So, I kept my 2nd $100k+ job. So then, I got a third one! That was 3 $150k jobs. Then, I did stop and kept getting jobs and that started my consulting company which I have had for over 25 years. GOOD JOB!!! CONGRATS on your grind!

Congratulations John. You cracked the code. Remote work is a real life blessing.

This is easily one of the best 4 hour work week office space story stories ever! Thank you. New subscriber here.

I tried having 2 six figure jobs in cybersecurity once. I got away with it for about 6 months and then it became too much. Sometimes there would be meetings scheduled for the same time. Whew. Currently, I have a six figure government job and I am a college professor and own an IT training business. Still busy, but I am arranging my freedom by building my biz while letting money come in from my day job.

So stoked to see more from you! I’m in the midsts of a transition like this myself so keep it coming! Thank you 🙏

Agree 100% on the easy apply for LinkedIn. Will have to try the under 10 applicants trick. Been doing a ton of interviews and it's helping my confidence a lot more than reading endless behavioral interview guides. Soon I'll start applying to the companies I'm really interested in. At my current job the work load is very light so two fully remote jobs is something I'm really considering.

This is actually pretty amazing and I totally respect your hustle and grind. So awesome to see you made it to the other side!

I JUST started a second remote job. This is nuts. Thank you for starting this channel

Dude that's crazy, I have been contemplating doing this for so long. Well at least the part about finding a remote sales engineering role. I just listed my first Airbnb property and doing a lot of the renovations myself since it's my primary residence as well. I'm looking for a gig like that as we speak!

This is pure facts. I work two remote jobs right now. And there are days where it gets crazy. But man is it rewarding.

I did this before back in 2014. Had a remote job with a very large bank, and then took a second full time day job on-prem. Everything you said is spot on. I developed a lot of anxiety because I was working at my day job while sneaking away for a meeting or a need with the remote job. I did stack some cash though.

Love the story, the grit it took, your brutal honesty - all of it, this is a great video!! Thanks.

I really enjoyed this video. Positive, straight to the point. Definitely want to learn more. I've had a half dozen "careers", I've experienced so much, and I don't have a lot to show for it. This is inspirational. Thank you.

I love hearing these stories! We are doing this right now and on track to change our lives, too. I'm so excited.

Hello, and thank you so much! This gave me a hope for the future. I am an intel analyst who just embarked on the journey of getting an IT/Cyber cert that will guarantee 6 figure remote salaries with schedule flexibility. I am a single mom of twin infants and I am trying to build wealth for their future. I grew up in a 900 sq/ft home in the poor side of a small NC country town. I am now in texas and im doing pretty good for myself, but I need to do more! After securing the salaries I want, I plan on investing as well. This was the motivation I needed! This is the type of information I need! #NewSubscriber

Hi Johnathan, you inspired me so much that I want to follow your path taking a chance working remotely. Like you I live in the Bay area… San Jose to be exact. Married to a hardworking wife with two beautiful children. We are both nurses. Being essential workers during the pandemic and until now, we are facing a big crisis in our workplace due to workforce burnout due to staff shortage. Yes, it’s really happening. Workers are moving away from the Bay area because of the ridiculous prices of homes and rent here. We have been both passionate about our hospital services both in the clinical and surgical world that it impacts our time with our children and we face a big challenge to care for our little ones. We work different shifts just to accommodate care for both our children which is taking a toll to both our physical and mental health. Just listening to your story inspired me to try a different path perhaps you can guide me take that first step. I’m wide awake rite now watching your videos just learning from you. Please share your thoughts and advice. God Bless you. Sincerely Ivan

A few months back, I came off 6 months of two jobs, was pulling in over 400k. Took a few weeks off from overemployed, and just had a single job. Was funny, felt like I was unemployed working a single ~15 hr/week gig. Last month, I started a new job 2 and have a job 3 starting in the next month, will be at 615k living in a low-tax state in the midwest. One key is stack PTO and take days off when you have one of your jobs surging. Another key is always take the health insurance, because you never know when something will end, and you want to make sure you have benefits. Final suggestion - have a plan. If you get into the overemployed life, know why you are and when you will exit. It's very easy to grow into your new double or triple salary and end up perpetually stuck. Have a plan, set a timeline, get in, get what you want, gracefully exit. Employees now have the upper hand, but that will end one day. When you get fired or quit your job 2 or job 3, try to look sad, and think of how terrible it would be if that was your only gig (and you didn't stack cash).

Hey man, I’m a project manager for a painting Company, and you gave me some uplifting energy. Just wanted to say thanks. 🤙🏻

Very interesting video and love the honesty. I need a serious change of pace in my life, especially as a single parent of two. Working 8-5 M-F has been insanely monotonous and finding that balance can be stressful. Doing what you did may not be right for me but I definitely need something different.

This was both excellent and inspirational! You've got the gears in my head turning now! Currently, I'm enjoying the leisure time, because I'm able to read a lot of stuff that interests me, and I also get in a ton of time at the gym; people already think I'm rich there, consequently, which I find a little humorous! After law school, I took many jobs to pay off my loans; like you, I took a number of hits to my health; it made me value having only one job, but gosh, to bank enough cash to get out of the rat race...such a great idea! I've got a lot to think about!!! Thanks again!

Dude….I lost hope for a really really long time but your video gave me hope. Thank you for recording, editing, and publishing this video. I’m in your boat and I’m looking forward to joining your journey

I've done this before back in 2006 and like this guy said, life is definitely crazy. Fast-forward to 2022, and I need to do this once more. Thanks for the inspiration!

This is my favorite video on youtube. I watched this a few weeks ago, and now I'm studying sales and applying to remote account manager positions on Linkindin. I'm going to follow your blueprint! I love what you're doing with the tiny village community in Virginia btw, and I want to connect with you after I stack enough cash lol. Wish me luck.

incredible story, im subscribing! as someone who is burnt out in the bay area, this really spoke to me - thanks for sharing with the world

This hits home for me. I did DoD contract work in the middle east and got my money where it needs to be to not care about having a job. Got a remote job because I was bored sitting at home with Covid going on, and I am still bored as they don't work me at all. I am now looking for a 2nd remote job just to fill my days and my pockets. May as well.....

Nicholas Deniehy really gave breaks down of how businesses work in the crypto world and solutions and strategies that could help me regain my loss and it did work.

Very inspiring story! I'm interested in knowing about the Tiny House Community you're building in VA.

Great video! Very inspiring and full of information. Definitely looking to go this route and have those freedoms someday. Keep up the great work! 👍🏼

Awesome video and story... I have a feeling you're going to blow up on KZfaq and I can't wait to see more of what you have to share. Thank you, Brother!

The best way to find that balance between saving and living is by investing, This way you get to have your savings intact and then live comfortably off the revenue coming in from your investment.

Congrats! So happy to hear your story! I'm trying to do the same thing. Also you're rocking it here in KZfaq, I thought you already had more videos 😂 so keep it up here too!!

This is beautiful and exactly what I needed to hear right now.. thanks for this! Wishing you more great stuff in future. I definitely want to learn more.

Man, this video is value packed! Subbed. Working two jobs isn't that hard as long as one of them isn't as demanding.

Great story JM! I did this Summer 2021… 200k from 2 remote jobs… lasted 5 months, very blessed to have had this time to stack the extra income

Soooo glad I found your channel!! You spoke right to me. I'm currently building my future through re-startin my KZfaq channel again and going back to school! We can do this!! I look forward to watching more content from you :)

Glad this video stumbled across my feed! Keep it up!

Thank you for this video. It really provided insight into the two remote job lifestyle.

Good for you Johnathan. I am about to do the same thing. I have a salary job but working on the second gig to stash some cash and start something similar to your wealth accumulation strategy.

Hey Johnathan, I just subscribed. Thank you for making this video. I'm an IT RMF 'guy' with background in QA, SysAdmin, and AD. I work as a DoD contractor now but was in the military for 10 years. I want out of this 'hardenend-building' and air conditioning, cubicle lifestyle. I'd much rather go horseback-riding after a few cups of coffee in the morning. How do I get started with finding 'Remote' jobs? I don't see so many on LinkedIn.

Love your journey and the Hustle!!! Thanks for the positive vibes and sharing this ! 💗😍

Thank you for sharing your story! Very inspiring and informative 💯

This is a great breakdown. I can definitely vouch on this. Never let the left hand know what the right hand is doing. That includes your clients. Its none of either clients business to know about one another. In the contractor world double or even triple dipping is not out of the norm even though its frowned upon with non-compete agreements. It is certainly not easy, juggling can get crazy at times with deadlines, upgrades, go-lives, etc all crossing at the same time. Being on two or even three meetings at once is brutal. The key, imo, is to know your niche inside and out. That way you know what look for in clients/contracts. It mentally puts you in a better position to ask the RIGHT questions in interviews about the team, scrum master, product owner, overall scope, defined work, etc. What Im getting to is, are they going to crawl up your ass if you dont answer an IM/email within 5, 10, or even 20 minutes...yes ive had these people lol. So glad you touched on the thinking of "do I really need a second job/contract." This hit me after about 7 months the first time. Working two six figure jobs opens a lot of financial opportunities, especially if you live below your means. However the burnout is real and despite the money it will hit you eventually.

This video resonates with me so much I’m currently a filmmaker who works like crazy, and I’m also in a trade school learning tech/coding. So I can get a job in Tech while filmmaking to save money to invest into something that will allow me not to have to work at all.

Great stuff my friend! I'm excited to see how this all progresses for you, as well as to learn more about your methods.

Man, this video is gold. Thanks. I look forward to those freedom tactics.

This is really inspiring! I’m looking for a sweet tech sales job while I grow my KZfaq and video production company.

Thank you I’m 25, next week I’ll begin working for a security company from 10pm to 6am full time. I’m locking in my sleep schedule in the morning so I can work another job during the afternoon. On the side I’m building my KZfaq channel and asking around to learn about investing. Aside from paying for insurance and food, Im saving. I need to start investing now, but I don’t want make any dumb mistakes that could get me in trouble with taxes etc. Any advice is appreciated!

Happy for you. Looks like you and ol Robuilt have gotten yourselves in the right position.

I relate to most of what you shared at the beginning. This is one of the few videos I watch without distractions. Congratulations 🎊.

Crazy, in 2020 I left a job as a software engineer they hired me back as a contractor and I have another full time job. I laughed so hard about having meetings for both jobs at the same time. I think about quiting one of the jobs all the time as I get burnout but the money is too good to pass up, I've accumulated some savings and getting to the point where I'd like to put it to work rather than loose value through inflation

This sounds amazing props to you for hustling it out. I have a very demanding sales management remote job but dictate the majority of the scheduling which is why Id be interested in looking into it. What was most ideal for you working under management or being in a position of power for your 2nd gig?

Thanks Johnathan that was funny and informative, I think I will start watching your podcast, and keep listening to this chanel too.

I first discovered OE in early 2021. I spent the latter part of the year making half assed attempts at getting it going, to no avail. I had intended to give it another go in 2023. This video just gave me the exact tips and motivation I needed. Thank you for this 🙏🏾

You are my hero, I am in this weird spot in my life. I'm 43 and have a job paying me over well over 100k. I own 2 houses and have about 200K in equity. Ironically, I am great with my hands and know a good fair amount about building and making things. I do handyman work on the side and make things. My second source of income doesn't pay very well. About 50k if I do it full time but I am passionate about it. I love the idea of building/making properties for short term rental, just need the keys to the car.

I reached my goal of $200k yearly trade earnings. Setting realistic goals is an essential part of trading

thank you for this. Feeling a bit down for things of my current job the: "do better or get out" is stressing me out, and the fact that I'm 33 yo and currently havent hold a job longer than a year the last 3 years and it's getting in my nerves and making me feel useless and dumb. But yeah, I guess there are many oportunities and even more that remote it's more and more a thing due covid and stuff. Thank you Johnathan!

Subscribed! I aways learn something new on your channel. Thanks, J

I have a fleet of cars here in chicago, I have 2 clients with big contracts with auto manufacturers that use most of them long-term for their hired workers. I'm making 85k to 95k a year, only 5 to 10 hours of work a week. Also a personal trainer at a private gym part time making an extra 25k a year (10 to 15 hours a week) I tried doing a third job which was more manual labor and it really stressed me, whike also working out myself 5 days a week and meal prepping, after watching this video I plan on taking up that third job again, and grind. Would love to buy real-estate. Highly inspired, great content!

Great video man, this hits home with me. I’ve been working remote since 2019 and really want to add that second job as I’ve switched to a more flexible role. Were you ever worried about the companies catching on through social media? I planned on leaving the new position off LinkedIn but my current role will remain. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks again man!

This vid was excellent!! Thank you. Subbed!!

Johnathan... you are an inspiration! Thank you for sharing this!

You’re awesome for doing this!

Somehow I only realized that I am already working two remote jobs after watching this video. Where i'm from we just call it hustlin, lol. But this did inspire me to really start dialing in my workflow between the two and outsource where I can.

Great video, brother! Very motivational. I'll be staying tuned in for more videos.

The key to making this work is to get more and more efficient at delivering value to your employer so that you context switching and getting people to help you complete the work isn’t even noticeable to them. I think a lot of people are trying this and still showing up late leaving early taking long lunches and lots of breaks and arnt getting people to help them complete the work.

Great story! I am thinking of doing this on a smaller scale like maybe my full time and a lower paying part-time. I don't think I could handle 2 full time jobs the way my anxiety is set up. Lol

I’ve been contemplating this lately, albeit I’m not in software development but in sales. The company I hired on with has the ability to get to 6 figures once you begin hitting your bonus levers. In the meantime I had been thinking about getting another remote sales gig to double my income hopefully in the same area. I’m not sure yet if this is the route I’m going to go yet, or put all of my effort into my current gig where I’m making 6 figures first and then branch out.

Fantastic, non-competing companies but using you same skills. CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Thank you, you've given me a few things to consider!

Best motivational video I have seen in a while. Thanks for the details and the addition to how you got out the rat race because that is the ultimate goal 🙌🏽

I got a couple of questions, maybe you have some tips on. 1st how did you get around having to use a Company Laptop (or did you need to use one), and second did you ever run into a issue with folks not wanting to hire you due to you being out of country for periods of time (did they ever even know you were out of country)

AMAZING! You need to take some high risks to achieve what you done. I also had two jobs for about two years, one of the jobs was in cybersecurity and the other one as a senior developer. I bought two properties with the cash and now I am at the point to see what's next. You are absolutely correct, anyone can do this, I do not hold a CS degree but love to take risks. Very inspiring story!! Thank you for sharing !

Nice! Great job! Love the tiny house village idea! I’m in texas, it would be cool to get you information on your project, any website or other info you may have, thanks!

Genuine thanks. I just subscribed and watched your videos. Excellent material here! Fun to find like minded people.

Absolutely love this...been doing the 2 job thing for 20 months...2 questions (sorry if already answered)...1) how do you present this situation on resume, esp if both have value being on there. 2) any advice for how to handle the increased tax burden of double salary? The latter bit me hard this year.

Loved the video Johnathan. You touched on a lot of points I am currently in. Working on getting into tech as a SWE, and definitely wanted to do the two remote jobs idea. I appreciate your story and example. What is the most effective way you found to manage your frustrations through your journey. I will be watching.

Thank you. This was a wonderful story. Very funny & inspiring. I’m following.

Going in for an interview this week for that second remote job! Also six figures 🎉 it’s so great to hear your perspective, its very exciting 🎉

9:47 - There's A LOT of companies like this; the whole setup will be a handful of people working very very hard, spinning their plates whilst everyone else, just kinda… attends the workplace. I've seen it many, many times.

My friend... I have literally just started doing this... AND all of what you did is what I'm about to do! I've wanted to be a pilot my whole life. My son now gets to see me make that happen!

This is bad ass! Thanks for sharing your story and providing the inspiration.

Really inspirational video and thank you, very well spoken and enjoyed watching this video, currently on my own vision trying to make this happen. God be with me!

I’m doing something like that. I have two software developer jobs that are both remote. I was looking into getting into real estate, have you had any projects that went over budgeted and if so how did you deal with that?

Question for you - Considering the SS tax is regressive and capped around 140k, did you make any efforts to not overpay SS tax? I'm thinking i would tell the second employer that i have a business and already make enough payments or did you take the loss on that ~7%?

Dude you got no idea how I was need this video, Keep up the good work.

Firstly, I really like this video! I shared it with a friend. I broke into tech this year and got my first remote engineering gig, but I also choose to drive amazon flex on my off hours for extra cash. Might have to re-evaluate my choice of second stream of income lol.

The most prudent thing for everyone to do right now is to invest in other sources of income that do not rely on the government. Especially in light of the present global economic crisis. This is still an excellent opportunity to invest in stocks and digital currencies

Tbh, I really don’t advise people to use these new monetary laws and systems when there’s a way someone who can help you find yourself financially, Nicholas Deniehy , a man who has not only taught me what the cryptocurrency world looks like but a secret to uplift my finance.

Great video man..appreciate you sharing this information. keep exploring and doing new things.

Haha this was unexpectingly inspirational! Thanks for putting this out there bro! No fluffy quotes etc, Its real stuff hands on🔥

I am not a software engineer, but have a good paying 9-5 remote. Would love to get a 2nd remote gig.

This is an amazing video! How did you go about learning sales? I’m currently getting my AWS saa cert, I can see myself working 2 sales roles for cloud deployment.

Beautiful. Will give the podcast a listen!

Congratulations Johnny! You made it out of the matrix. I wish you love and continued success.

How would you handle the branding piece for each organization simultaneously? Lots of people will add you when you onboard on linked in lol!! That was the thing that seems might trip you up, not the work per se.

Just started doing this over the last few months with remote tech roles. Both are completely different fields but are specialized enough that both earn me a 6 digit salary, but the workload is thankfully very light, as this isn't work that is meant to be rushed. So far so good, but my life has completely started changing and within just a few months, I have made huge strides in buying the things I want and paying off loads of debt from my past. I am going to keep it going for as long as I can because it just makes sense, and I finally feel like I have financial freedom.

Hey Johnathan! First of all great video. I rarely watch any KZfaq video from start to finish anymore. Not only was yours something I wanted to learn about, but every part of it had value. Hats off to you! Second(and this would be of no benefit to me) my Dad is the most honest, and servant minded financial professional you will ever meet. He specializes in Life Insurance as a means of well, life insurance, but also for asset protection and cash building. If you'd like I can get his information to you. Truly remarkable what you've done. I'm happy for you and inspired!
