The Biggest Mistakes Men Make (That Ruin Relationships, Careers & Goals)

Are you a man over 35 feeling stuck in life, your relationship, or your career?

In this episode of Talk Your Shit Daily, Big Slick breaks down the 3 biggest mistakes men over 35 make — and how these silent decisions can destroy your happiness, success, and long-term goals.

Too many men stay in:

• Dead-end relationships
• Dead-end jobs
• And eventually give up on their dreams

Why? Fear. Loyalty. Time pressure. Pride.

If you’re waking up frustrated, feeling behind in life, or questioning your direction, this episode is a reality check every grown man needs to hear.

We talk about:
 ✔️ Why staying in a dead-end relationship drains your confidence
 ✔️ The danger of staying loyal to a job that doesn’t value you
 ✔️ Why men over 35 feel like they’re “running out of time”
 ✔️ How successful men actually break through later in life
 ✔️ Why your goals aren’t dead — you’re just impatient

This is for the man who feels:

• Stuck
• Undervalued
• Frustrated
• Or behind in life

You are not too old. You are not too late.
 But you can waste years if you don’t move differently.

Now let's talk about it. What up, what up, what up, what up, what up. Welcome to Talk Your Shit Daily. And I'm your host, Big Slick. We got another great episode for you today. But first, I want to give a shout out to all my listeners. Whether you at home, at work, in your car, all the truck drivers on the road, I appreciate you tuning in. And if you didn't subscribe yet, hit the button, man. Listen, I'm gonna jump right into the show today. The three biggest mistakes men make over 35. Listen, what is that big slick? I'm gonna tell you right now. The first one is staying in a dead end relationship too long. That's the first mistake a lot of men make, man. Listen, if you're in a relationship and you tried everything you can to make this relationship work, I mean everything, bro, and you just still there sticking around, you're wasting time. You might as well move on. You know what I'm saying? Some things you can't fix in a relationship. And I think a lot of men over 35 plus be still trying to hold on to a relationship, thinking like, you know, you and that that age group to where you like, I don't really feel like going back out there trying to find somebody or data or whatever, or whatever it might be. But look, if you're in a relationship that's not going nowhere, keep it moving, get over it, man. It is what it is. I'm gonna tell you another big mistake is staying on a dead end job that's not going nowhere. A lot of men hold on to a job. A lot of us, I ain't gonna front, I'm in the category as well. A hold on to a job that ain't going nowhere, man. That's not the job you want. You miserable on the job, you come to work miserable every day, but you still there. Why? Why are you wasting time here, man? This is this is a big mistake. A lot of people do, and I think it ain't really it ain't just men 35 plus, is is men, period, you know, period, people period, to stay on a job too long for no reason and waste a lot of time, man. That's a big mistake. That is definitely a big mistake. Another thing is that men over 35 is three, that was two already, right? The third one is this is giving up on your goals. I don't know what this is with with with people putting an age or a time frame on their goals, right? To achieve their goals or their dreams. Why? Why would you put that on your goals and your dreams? You know what I'm saying? If this is something that you want, why would you stop pursuing it? You shouldn't never stop pursuing it, you should always keep going towards your goals and your dreams. And I think a lot of times people, you know, hit a certain age and be like, Oh man, I'm too old for this, man. I'm too, I'm gonna give up on this. I I was trying all through my 20s and it it ain't worked out yet. People listen, everything works out as long as you put the time in and effort. It might not happen when you want it to happen. See, this was this is the thing, man. With people goals, people think it's supposed to happen when they want it to happen. No, it happened when it's supposed to happen, not when you want it to happen. You know what I'm saying? Our time frame and a universal time frame that's that's two different times you're dealing with. You know what I mean? You might think you're ready for something right now, but you're actually not prepared for it. You might think you're prepared for it, but you might not be mentally prepared for it. So you keep on working towards that goal until you get prepared for it, and then it opens up and it happens for you. And then when it happens, everything is easy, everything happens fast, it's sweet, it's no big deal. You know, I'm saying it happens so effortlessly that you you'll be over here bugging like dad, I was trying hard forever, and now everything just moving so smooth because it's happening when it's supposed to happen. But like I said, you know, a lot of men we'll put time frames on things because to us, we feel like we're running out of time, so everything is like right now. Yo, I need this to work now. I'm getting older, I need something to pop off. That's just you know, I'm saying that's just a mental thought. That's how we think. This it just it is what it is. I guess it's just a man thing. I don't know. I can't tell you how women think, I only can tell you how man thinks. This is how we think. We hit a certain age, everything's supposed to happen right now. The stuff we want, we want it now. Because we like, look, we're getting older, feel like we're running out of time, feel like I didn't accomplish enough yet. I wanted to be further than what I am now. I think everybody goes through this, men and women, but I know for a fact, men go through it. You feel like you're supposed to be further than what you are in this stage in your life, right? But you got to look at it like this everything happens when it's supposed to happen, and you know, everybody just gotta come to grips with that, you know. I mean, because if not, it'll drive you crazy because you'll start reflecting on things like Dag, I didn't do this yet, I was supposed to do this, this didn't happen for me, and this didn't happen for me. Yo, a lot of people that made it, and successful people, a lot of them didn't make it until they was well into their 40s, some 50, until they really accomplished something. Majority of millionaires don't become a millionaire until they probably hit 50, truthfully. So it's like don't give up so early, you know. So you in your 30s and you getting disappointed about things not happening or going the way you want it to happen. Don't be easy. You got time, you know. I'm saying you you got time, whatever's meant to happen, it's gonna happen, but it's gonna happen in the time it's supposed to happen, not on your time, it's not on your calendar. So that's that's the part that you know I'm saying, us men, we gotta we gotta chill and stop looking at that and thinking we're running out of time. Just stay focused on the goal or what we want to achieve, and then you know, when when it happens, it's on time. Believe me, you don't you already know it? It's on time. So I think that's the big three mistakes that men over 35 plus makes. It's a job that you're on too long, it's a dead-end job. You should have been left. You you're holding on to it for dear life because you put so much time on it, you looking at man, I got I had I got three weeks vacation now, I got a month vacation. I ain't leaving this job, you know, and leave the job, bro. You know, if it if the job ain't for you and you going to work angry, leave that job. Second thing is hold on to the relationship. If you're dealing with a bird, you know she a bird, bruh. Why you still dealing with her, man? You know it don't work, it ain't gonna work. You done been through this forever. Now you done been rocking with this girl for five years, ten years, whatever it is. You see the signs, it ain't working. Leave. Why stay with it? And we already know. I just went over the last one. The third one is our goals. You know what I'm saying? We we get a little frustrated thinking we running out of time to achieve our goals, but I'm gonna tell you like this you got time to achieve your goals, just stay focused on them and it'll happen.
