He quit his job to achieve success on social media platforms in just two years

Since 2020, Sam Gash has been famous for posting yoga videos, and has increased the number of his followers on Instagram and Tik Tok to more than 300,000 followers, and he has also succeeded in creating a fitness app called Stretch.

Gash gave up nearly all sources of supplemental income, such as social media consulting, when he first quit his job at the beginning of 2020.

"I only do the things I want to do," says Gash. His latest challenge video has more than 1 million views on TikTok, 17 million views, and more than 1 million likes on Instagram.

"The Three Big Changes I Needed in My Life"

Achieving continued success online was one of the long-term goals that Gash set for himself in his mid-twenties after graduating from the University of Michigan. "After many meditation and journaling sessions, I came to 3 important changes that I needed in my life," he explains.

First, Gash wanted to move into his own house, then quit his job, and finally move from Michigan to a big city like New York.

He was able to achieve the first two goals shortly before the outbreak of the epidemic.

Gash had to provide the financial resources to achieve all of these goals, before taking the next steps. He was constantly saving money and building his fortune by contributing to the retirement plan of the company he was working for while also investing in index funds. Since these accounts are entirely for retirement, Gash was careful not to take any money from them.

As for traditional savings, Gash explains that these savings were not enough to provide him with the financial comfort he wanted and to achieve this he "needed another source of livelihood before moving to a big city".

"What made me feel comfortable was making money on my own"

Gash had a natural talent for yoga, but he put a lot of effort into practicing to become proficient. Gash admitted that it was intimidating to make a side business his main source of income. But that fear faded as his videos continued to go viral and companies continued to hire him to represent their brand online.

"My savings didn't really go down after I left my job," says Gash. When his income began to rise, he realized it was time to leave Michigan, and what made him feel comfortable was making money on his own.

Live in all cities

Gash is set to settle in New York for the rest of the year, and plans to leave town in the new year and try residency in other major metropolitan areas. "I was interested in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, and one day I was talking to a friend about different cities. He suggested I live in them all," Gash adds.

Gash joined a gym that he also used as an office space, and he shoots about 3 videos per week for each social media platform. Currently, my fitness app is running An important part of his time, he provides participants with customized plans and courses for stretching and light exercises. He has been working with the developers on this app for months and has been promoting it extensively.

The launch of this app is one of Gash's most significant achievements to date. "I did all the work on my own," he explains. "I am completely confident in my abilities, I just know that it will be successful. I have a whole new life."
