This channel is what happens when you don't try to sell anything to anyone, but the person is so smart, you're so shocked, you end up asking to buy everything...
In a recent video, you said your demographic was aged 35-36. However, I'm 63. I lived in Ukraine and became a refugee. Your show and presenting talent have re-inspired me. Thanks for the content uploads.
I'm 36, still in the process of rebuilding my life after a 2week coma due to extensive brain damage. Challenging but grateful to start over again. I now know what I don't want to be. Living a life with a purpose now. Glad that I have found your channel months ago while I was on a treadmill. I'm happy with your success, Dan
This channel is exactly what I needed. The perfect blend of business and spirituality, and a new take on what business means. At a time were I'm consolidating my sporadic business and lifestyle ideas into something more defined, this is highly motivating.
These are such a deep lessons for anyone wanting to create value through their business. Some of these have taken me over a decade to figure out and here you are sharing it with everyone so they can avoid those same mistakes. Extremely valuable, pay attention to these lessons and really think about them everyone they'll save you sooo much time
Hey Dan, I recently found your channel. I did the 7 days to genius. I am grateful I found your work. It really helped funnel my curiosity, desires, and purpose, into a useable way to create an autonomous career. I was a licensed counselor for 13 years helping parents through their child rearing process. I burnt out from the grind. This method is something I think is so much more sustainable. My desire to help has never changed, but now I have a way to express my ideas, while also setting myself up for monetization. I realize it is a slow burning candle to grow a business on RU-vid. But I have set a recording schedule, and will be sticking close to your channel to grow along side you brother. Thanks so much!
Here's the math for your affiliate example: Revenue: 50 conversions x $50 revenue share = $2,500 Cost: $25 x 4 influencers = $100 Profit: $2,500 - $100 = *$2,400* For the other example involving influencers and others sharing: 1.0 Million Impressions x 30% view Offer = 300k views 300k views x 5% click rate = 15k clicks 15k clicks x 5% conversion = 750 sales 750 sales x $50 = *$37,500 Revenue*
To everyone who has started or is thinking of starting their own business: *Believe in yourself and never give up.* If you can work 8 hours for someone else. You can work 2 hours for yourself.
Brother you have just validated the last 5 months of me putting out what I thought was nonsense and helped me realize that I have learned so much, getting in front of a camera and being comfortable is huge, & not excelling in my job in solar being the only way to pay for a new knee, you are paving the way
I have you to thank for ditching my niched website and social naming and reverting to my personal brand. What I’m interested in helping people with right now will change. And people trust a name and a face to help them more than a logo. Thank you Dan!
You've done such a great job breaking all of this down. I listen to your playlist like it's an audio book. It really resonates because it seems to cater to neuro divergent brains also.
Dude, I came across your channel 2 days ago. You have no idea how badly I’ve been looking for a person, channel and approach like yours. Keep up the great work sir!
I've always told people, "I'm a creative" when they ask about my career. somehow it seems to resonate with a lot of people (who are probably also "creatives") and anyone who doesn't seem to get it at first understands after I tell them, "I solve problems for a living." I love how you've been able to articulate this convergence in industry. "to return to source" in a personal business perspective without seeming like another _one of thoose_ folks 😆 you definitely figured it out, translating "the trip" into plain English lol and you remind me that, just because I may have heard something from someone else, doesn't mean I don't have a voice to share that wisdom too, and that it's actually my righteous duty as a living person here now to use my voice! haha
i am 27 but u r so much wiser, this is my fav youtube channel, i am planning on building my own something, dont want to work for a company, jusst would say this channel is amazing
Great info , I’m a 60 year old personal Trainer and still working on myself physically , mentally and spiritually and still feel like I’m just scratching the surface 🖖
I started watching you with “The One-Person Business Model” when I knew I wanted to start my business but didn’t know where to begin or how to consolidate my multiple interests. You’ve made my journey so much easier and more focused, and I hope that your channel continues to grow as other realize the value in your content.
You add extreme value to this community! I love how you deep dive into each of these topics. Almost all of your videos are over 30 minutes long which is great. I got up to the three lever part of your video and going to watch the rest of it later today. I think the three levers are brilliant. Saving this
As someone who is a younger self-improvement RU-vidr, I find this extremely interesting. Creating a business really is about following your passions / curiosity, while also taking the leap of faith to change and challenge your perspectives on what you’re tight in life. Curiosity is really the catalyst to destroying limiting beliefs!
I decided to write a comment which isn't typical for me, because of the depth and scope of the value you created for me in my very early start as a creator. I believe it's a way to give back in the form of not only gratitude but letting you know that from where I'm standing you have put me waaay ahead of the game. I've bought courses on how to start an online business as a creator in the past, and though they served their purpose and had their value, your objective, and applicable format gave me the clarity and confidence to apply these lessons and tools. Thank you! Thank you! Just thought you ought to know you are an instrument to a shift governed by those who seek to make a difference.
Many things I learned, realised or made the connections between thanks to this video and the refreshing and direct way Dan explains stuff. What really hit me though was that comment about "when you read something interesting, don’t highlight (or rewrite it to your little notebook as I always do) but rather write the shit in your own words by recalling it from your memory." For the longest time I was kinda complaining to myself that I lack creativity when it comes to ideas for writing etc. well no shit as I always write stuff down exactly as people said it, never in the way I understand it or what I’ve learned and taken from that comment or idea. So from now on, I will apply more of this and I am pretty sure it will lead me to open up my creativity in this area immensely. Thank you Dan! You rock!
Wow you are the most mature 26 year old, I have ever met. You are so wise and helpful. When I think about the reason I started going to the gym was really superficial but my why did change and I stuck to it for a different reason.
I really love listening to you talk, it just seems like I'm listening to someone from my generation with sense and who understands exactly what I am going through and trying to figure out, thank you for this channel ❤ I treat it like a mini podcast
You're absolutely carving out a YOU niche with absolutely critical power & potential and Is inspiring me to write on neuro spirituality As well as Write video essays on your subject matter
Hey Dan. I stumbled upon your channel recently. And am so glad! You are one of the most straightforward content creators on RU-vid. I so look forward to watching all your videos. Appreciation all the way from India!
Hey! I have found you yesterday, so nice to see someone 'real' talking about business , it is so refreshing!! It allows me to see new way to operate. Many thanks dear
Thank you for sharing your content and experience. I’m a veteran law enforcement officer & long time martial arts/meditation instructor who is always fully booked, but haven’t been able to scale my business up. I work my tail off, and have all of the requisite skill sets, but I’ve been stuck in a time-for-money rut for some time. Your content is the first I’ve seen that’s fresh and plausible enough to really pay attention to. I hope to follow your journey, and level myself up at the same time. Much gratitude for your effort. Cheers from New Orleans.
Dan, your channel is awesome! This world can feel extremely overwhelming with how fast everything is changing especially for someone like me who is not tech savvy at all. I truly appreciate the insight and advice you give here. So begins the journey of reinventing my self.
Hey Dan. I am writing the book of my life. I am so enthralled to find myself with psychology exactly as yours. Only that I havent monetized yet. I relate to so much that you say and the exact same narrative playing in my head. Watching ur video just gave me such a nice kick to boot up. Thanks brother!
I found you this morning, my path has crossed yours, Id say our paths have crossed but that won't happen until you read my message. I wanted to respond to this video and first off say I'm impressed with your intelligence and your ability to share your thoughts so open source. But you sir, what you do is educate and inspire people! Next time someone asks you what you do, think and ask your self this, how am I making the world a better place/experience and then simply answer, I educate and inspire people!! Sure you can elaborate way more in depth about what it is that you do and you absolutely should when someone asks you to do that ;) Blessed to have found your videos and you brother, keep it up!! Your new friend, Josh!!
So happy I found your content! I've been bombarded with people telling me to "niche down" the past few months and it's been sucking the life out of me... I lost all interest in even creating anymore. Your ideas and framework are awesome! Appreciate you sharing transparently!
What you are teaching in this video is very valuable. It took me years to learn this things and arrive on this conclusions. I hope everyone watching this video are able to absorb and start practicing. It took me almost 3 years of blogging and I failed it. But then it only took me 6 months to start it over in the right way and make money out of it while sleeping. Failure is part of the process and if you don't start trying you won't start to fail, if you don't fail you don't learn. If you don't learn you don't succeed. If I could give only one advice to anyone it would be: Don't be afraid of failure, but make sure to fail small and early in your process.
You conflate yourself and brand. Brand is the overall how you get customers and build trust, comfort, and connection. Niching down allows to targeting of specific avatar and supply them with the prerequisites for purposes. You've branded yourself. That's a route and I applaud what you've accomplished.
I have passed on a lot of mentors just for the fact of learning myself everything. But i feel connected to you for you as a mentor. The past decade I was completely lost in the depth of life. It seems like waking up now and entering the game. Fresh and new. I often keep doom scrolling and jumping and have continuously gate kept myself from monetizing. Planning to see your videos to kinda stay in the zone!
Happy fellow birthday Libra? It’s no surprise that the universe directed me to your channel. Well done and thank you deeply for sharing 💓 I appreciate you. Keep up the good work.
Great lessons! I'm a new subscriber and I love your honesty and transparency. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed from binge-watching your content, but I promise I'll sit down and map out a plan to execute. Hope the one-person business model is the missing ingredient I've been looking for. Thank you for all this valuable information!
Just now finding your content, and just wanted to say a special thanks for what you're putting out into the world. I needed to hear what you said on tip #10 so thanks for that epiphany!
You provide high value information and you've been around for a while... I don't understand why you don't have more views. Anyway, thanks for the video it's dope !
amazing concepts -- it's like i found the mentor i was so looking for. Dan you have the answers to every question i have in mind. how can I serve you man to return the favor
I don’t usually watch videos this long from people I haven’t heard of, but I really value the message you’re spreading. Very Hormozi-ish with the emphasis on traffic and offers, thank you!
I want to be niche down as a resource for businesses to scale. Period. I like doing different things as you do. & I want to outsource work to other creatives
Liked and subscribed ❤ thank you so much for this video. I’ve been feeling complacent lately and now I’m ready to truly begin my journey! God bless you!
I have to say, at first, these videos seemed too bland to keep my attention. But, the words, the content, the thoughtfulness, successfully captivated my intellect. Thank you for insights that Stoke my entrepreneurial fire.
Great value! You actually talk real stuff, it feels more personal than most of other RU-vidrs. I always wanted to have solo business with art/design, but knowledge outpaced execution. Thinking about starting a twitter account, but what do you think about future of Twitter? It got a lot of flame because of recent acquisition and firing employees. Don't you think it might go down like tumblr when down?
Sheesh, this is a helpful video! Thank you for continuing to talk about this topic. My wife and I own a small media company and we've been chewing on these 3 videos as of late.
Curated content, how other people did it and how I'm going to do it. This 🎯 Just found your channel and it's like you're speaking straight from my SOUL! idk if I just joined a cult, or if I wanna be you when I grow up lol. Thanks for the amazing content!!
Dan, if you could do a full video just on #11 I would really love that. My overthinking/perfectionist mind is fucking owning me. I’m obsessed with the concept and all the amazing ideas and principles you help educate on. I’m being held prisoner by my desire to have a detailed roadmap that feels authentic to who I am and a whole lot of self doubt and limiting beliefs. Any other books or creators you recommend I dive into for this? Love your stuff, thanks for what you do!
I am shocked at how exact this is. more than past decade I have just deduced and condensed the same mindset. Yet to apply it all analytically and upto its full potential. Create systems and teach. But i feel like sharing what I am writing, gah, I have so many drafts, i feel like sharing.
Wow. Just wow. This is like the Yin to Iman Gatzi's Yang. Like I bought his agency accelerator course (1.5k) and what you are saying is making things so much clearer. it's like you guys have the same vocabulary but you just explained something clearer than he did. I'm going to start doing your writing course it probably has more value to me right now. Thanks Dan
37 years old. Military veteran. Divorced. In shape. Electrical engineer making 90k a year. Not much FOMO let in me other than finding a cause worth devoting the rest of my life to that feels impactful.
