Guys, I literally MET HIM randomly on the street today. Insane that it happened after I've been listening to his stuff for 2 years and that he was the first person I found in this self improvement space who had a truly original perspective on things.
I’ve consumed so much content on similar stuff, but I’ve never watched the same video twice because towards the end i realised that not making notes is stupid. This isn’t a typical motivational video that I would watch passively when I’m bored and then save to a watch later playlist, never to be touched again. It is the most important video I’ve ever watched. You’re insanely underrated. Thank you.
It's so difficult to listen to this guy. Not because he talks trash, but every second of his content is just packed. For example, if you lose focus, you've missed something important. This guy is brilliant
Anti-Visions are THE secret to endless motivation... When your primary driver is to avoid a situation you consider to be a worst-cases scenario (i.e., working a 9-5 until you're 65), you will do whatever it takes to not end up in it. If you don't, you need a new anti-vision.
Bingo, funny how you summarized my anti-vision in a nutshell mate. It'll take years to reach the ideal future I want to create, but at least you can learn a ton of things along the way.
So true. My anti-visions light the fire, constantly motivating me to get up, to keep going, to stay at it, to follow through, to initiate one more time, to stick it out, to keep showing up, and to go out and really get it. It's intense because my IDENTITY depends on it. How I view myself is how the world views me, so I view myself as someone who can handle operating at high levels of tenacity with ease and grace, and am able to rise to the occasion with the right level of energy and purpose. The contrast between where I want to be, what i'm worth, what I deserve, and the anti-vision of what I don't want, what I don't deserve, what i'm settling for...what I could have had, etc is enough to wake me up from my sleep after just a few sleep cycles. If I don't make some form of progress I'll feel overwhelmed by my underlying anti-visions. Powerful motivation to act, indeed!
"Choices". For those of us burdened with cPTSD, the first and most important choice is to heal. The unhealed state of mind can not choose...it can only consent. I am now healing rapidly. I have your book. I take notes. I apply. Many thanks.
Same here. I did a lot of healing with EFT (tapping, free sessions on YT) This technique helps me remove old believes and stuck emotions from past so I can integrate new mindset easer and faster. I do tapping to release blocks + Dan's book to nurture new perspective. Best luck to you, and thank you Dan.
"Your psyche craves actualisation and transcendence. The depth of your being wants these things, but your ego is distracted by things it thinks it wants."
I am on my path towards success. My life is already rich. My future self is proud that I'm taking good notes and putting these ideas into action. I'm getting up at 4am to start mixing the big levers. I feel I'm unlocking a new 100% every day and it's difficult sometimes to accept the 100% of my yesterday self. Thank you, Dan
Convincing yourself you're on the path to success is a big mistake, rather prove to yourself that you can be persistent in the face of obstacles, discomfort, and failure.
I just got to "if your not writing all of this down rn, what are you doing? " While playing a game, thinking I can rewatch this and write it down later. He got me...
Rule 1 - Create an anti-vision. Start a running note of experiences you don't want to repeat. 4:08 Rule 2 - Have a vision. Every decision we make needs to be filtered through this vision. Create a minimal visble vision of everything you want out of life. 4:40 Rule 3 - Mission. Anything that is not aligned with your mission should be treated as a distraction 5:30 Rule 4 - Standards. You aren't where you want to be because you're okay with where you are. Standards are absorbed by our environment 5:55 Rule 5 - Goals. Big goals are for direction. Small goals are for clarity. Be stubborn with vision, loose with details. 7:34 Rule 6 - Projects. Learning comes from struggle not memorization. Build, then learn. 8:06 Rule 7 - Education. There is a skillset and mindset required to complete your projects. Daily learning is a cornerstone habit. 8:30 Rule 8 - Limitation. What are you not willing to sacrifice to achieve your goals. 9:05 Rule 9 - Levers. Priorities task the needle or you projects, goals, and vision. See everyday as a practice and process rather than an outcome. 9:41 Rule 10 - Challenge. Challene is the source of enjoyment. It is at edge of our ability. 10:52 Rule 11 - Curiosity. Be willing to steer off course and discover new potential. 11:24 Rule 12 - Experimentation. Avoid becoming dogmatic about the single right way. 12:03 13:16 you right now are the manifestation of your pass choices. 1. Who you want to become 13:35 2. The choices that will take you there.
Non mollare Nicola. 20 anni di depressione hanno flagellato la mia vita e condivido con te la totalità della perdita. Affetti, carriera, casa, occasioni. Ho provato tutto: terapie, psicofarmaci, droga, attività estreme. L'unico vero aiuto me l'ha dato la meditazione. Con essa ho trovato finalmente una strada che non fosse buia e in salita. Ci è voluto tempo, un maestro giusto, tanta pratica, ma è l'unico strumento che ha reso possibile che io stesso fossi l'artefice della mia "guarigione". Non so chi tu sia ma sei giovane, non mollare. Ah, e il mio non è un consiglio, non mi permetterei, ma un semplice augurio che anche tu possa trovare una soluzione. Non riavrai indietro gli anni "persi" (che poi nella realtà non lo sono) ma sei giovane e ne hai ancorq tanti davanti a te. Vedrai, ne uscirai e sarai più forte di tante altre persone, perché avrai combattuto e sconfitto un nemico spietato, che chi non ha affrontato neanche immagina. Auguri Nicola, e scusa l'intromissione. Vito
The breakdown of the '12 Rules of Creation' really resonates with the entrepreneurial spirit. One advanced tip for maintaining focus is to leverage the 'Pareto Principle' in goal setting-prioritize the 20% of your tasks that will yield 80% of the results, which can significantly boost productivity and clarity in your mission. This approach aligns perfectly with the 'Standards' and 'Goals' sections discussed in the video.
I disappeared for 30+ years just as I was about to pop in those days hard rock scene .. reappeared 2022, spend that year re-recording, then hit by a stroke. I managed to save a legacy, and even though I can't code anymore I'm still releasing music .. I have more than 800+ tracks, at some point I'll get through them all .. I'm 61🙂
Hi Lars! Did you know strokes can be completely healed...reversed no matter how unbelievable this seems ? (This is NOT a scam....no money needed here....) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kUq-LmTsftg.html
So nice to see a man teaching about focus actually demonstrating so obvious the results of it practised. So deep and nailed. Your work is helping people, keep doing what you are doing, God bless you!
You know- there is a middle ground between burning hate and obsessive love. Sometimes you don’t know what you want because your life isn’t actually bad and doing something drastic might be very risky. Yes risk vs reward but also sometimes risks don’t pan out.
Probably one of Dan's most well-articulated videos. He's always been sharp and I love the flow of consciousness BUT this video shows the progress of his as a presenter. Well done!
"Sir your content is really helping me out i am now progressing and making some real progress and i didn't find my self stuck in my life or lost in my life. Thanks for thi Video. Keep that content"
I am from Botswana Since i followed your content i am viewing world in different way. You are blessing to us i like wht you teach cuz you explain everything and you are good
Money is not meant to control people, rather it is meant to be put to work producing more money for you. You cannot build wealth without putting money in its rightful place.
People dont understand that the prices of things are never going back down. This inflation is deeper than we think. Those buying groceries are well aware that the real inflation is much over 10%. The increments dont match our income, yet certain investors still earn over $365,000 in stocks and assets. Wish I could accomplish that.
Some persons think inves'tin is all about buying stocks; I think going into the stock market without a good experience is a big risk, that's why I'm lucky to have seen someone like mr Brian.
Absolutely resonating with the concept of disappearing to focus on one's vision! 🌟 Integrating multidisciplinary principles not only enriches the path to success but also ensures a well-rounded approach to problem-solving and innovation.
Dan, you have an incredibly insightful way of seeing "life" and assisting others who are interested in being helped. I started this video a few times and realized I really needed the peaceful clarity of mind to get thru it all in a meaningful way that can actually be absorbed into utility. So, thanks for the 14:36 that is giving me HOURS of personal homework, LOL.
"Others can't teach what you to do, they can only teach you how they did it successfully" or something to that effect is what I have been noticing with some creative projects I am currently working on. I am trying to experiment with different techniques and ideas, only to find out that they don't necessarily work as good as I wanted to though. It is the process that will create the ideal life for myself in the future.
I’m not writing anything down, but I did save this for referencing later when I will write it down. But I did appreciate the knowing glare afterwards to keep me on my toes.
omg.. thats what I do take time out to realign myself focus,myself to get absolute clarity etc... avoiding distractions etc.... also to learn and absorb information that is,relevant
I am honoured to having you in social media. and you giving us lots of knowledge. for creating peace, happiness, wisdom, success, meaningful skills, and mindset for life. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
This was the first video I've seen from you, and I picked a good one. I subbed already, took notes, and tomorrow morning I will rewatch the video before doing the work laid out here. The irony is, I've been seeing your videos in my feed for a little while now, but I thought they were just more clickbait and shunted them into the "watch later" category. Wow, what a mistake that was. I honestly don't care for shorts, but when I checked out your channel, even your shorts are perfectly branded and amazing. The next thing I'm going to do is go look at your book because I can't imagine it's anything short of incredible. Thank you so much as this was perfect timing.
Dan you have been the Jiminy Cricket in my mind over the past couple weeks... not to take away from all the topics, I really felt the "making better decisions".
I am impressed by your grasp of the human condition and grateful to live in this era of information sharing. I encourage you to consider there is a difference of being unwilling (to work hard) vs truly ignorant of possibilities. In the conditioned existence of my youth (which affected my early adulthood) I could not work toward something I could not fathom. I grew up so sheltered, so structured in many ways, that I didn't know what was even possible. But I was taught to work hard. It's not a matter of willingness to work hard that was my challenge. It was that I couldn't conceive I could work hard for my own vision instead of someone else's. Thanks for your energy and instruction in this potentially life changing topic.
As an investing enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. I do have a significant amount of capital that is required to start up but I have no idea what strategies and direction I need to approach to help me make decent returns
Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others, as an investor, you should’ve known that by now, nothing beats experience and that’s final, personally I had to reach out to a market analyst for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to a million, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I’m buying again.
Determine your risk tolerance first and foremost. Be aware that it costs money every time you buy and sell a stock. A lot of people think they can make a nice profit by buying a stock when it dips down a little and then dumping it when it recovers but they fail to factor in the considerable fees the brokers charge you to place your orders Also be aware that it's basically gambling, it shouldn't be done with money you're going to need in the future, consider whatever you invest already lost
I'm really grateful that I found your channel about a year back. I've been loosely listening to you when the mood hits, and EVERY, SINGLE, TIME. . . You blow my mind and eyes wide open. With confirmation, with clarity, with value.... It also almost seems like you have exactly the message I need to hear in any given moment. Like, I know the algorithm is at work, but dang... For nearly all of this video I've been like, "yep, yep..." And, "exactly, yes." Or, "I literally just had this thought!" It's starting to feel like you're precisely where I'm meant to be spending my time.
Wow what a great video thanks for posting !!! I’m exercising quietly so when I show up they will see the difference in 6 months !!! My first goal of the beginning of many ❤will watch this a lot great information
I wish I can just sit with you for 6 months day in day out and anyone can bloom into a beautiful person internally within 6 months.At one end you are so insightful and as added bonus you have a pleasant bkground with not too much goig on and its so soothing just to hear you speak!
From South Africa, 24 years have put my dream of owning an online business in marketing and branding helping small businesses but when you spoke about projects it helped A lot trust me have put my vision into the project as suggested also bought books in those services that will offer to educate my self more soon am getting the focus book problem how will get or should try amazon but to someone reading please practicing what Dan is giving I positively think that laso make proud to know this is not just we consume and not practice and educate our selves schools colleges won't give this education never trust
Thank you Dan Koe, I really needed this video. I quit more corporate job a month ago and now working on creating my business. Your videos have been helping me, they bring me clarity. The whole idea of Anti-Vision is all the motivation I need to not give up on my dreams.
Wow thank you so much I didn't find this video today by mistake I'm sure of it and also the blue supermoon at the same time🎉 thank you so much exactly what I wanted and needed to hear😊
For me I knew what i wanted but it took sometime to figure out the obstacles that were in my way such as not having the right mindset but I also found that I lacked organisational skills or not understanding that I have to learn some skills to get to a goal. I now have my mindset in place.I learnt more about organising and managing my life and now I am learning skills that are needed to reach my goals. This all takes time, not only to figure it out but then to establish the new skills. This is a great video.I would recommend that you study the video, take notes to apply, pause and absorb the information given. Do not listen to it passively as you will miss a lot.
We appreciate you and your clear insights Dan. The choices you made in becoming who you are benefit not only you, of course, but those in your sphere of influence such as this platform. The influences and impact of becoming more self-actualised that you speak of are self-evident truths to anyone who watches you and pays attention to what you are sharing. Sincere thanks!
If you're not writing this down, what are you doing? That's a fucking teacher right there. I remember grade ten work experience doing construction. Paul Baker was the foreman and after the first week when I asked for his impression and imput he said, "Well, you could work hard." It blew my mind and changed my life. I heard the same lesson cast upon the masses over the internet with that comment, "if you're not writing this down, what are you doing?"
Than you for the clear rules. I think watching your video is already an exciting motivation. The biggest challenge is to keep this motivation after. Let's go to actions
thank you for this. i suffer from crippling procrastination. i just dont follow up on my creative thoughts and temporary inspiration i get from those ideas. i have a lot to figure out but i aim to be fully on the right path by the end of this year! im going to go and buy a blank book and right all this down.
No, people can genuinely not know what they want and it has nothing to do with a lack of work ethic. As smart as you are, Dan, you very narrow-minded and clearly not at all sensitive or informed around those who suffer from neurodivergence-related conditions. You saying that it is a work ethic issue is a genuine slap in the face these people.
Thanks again for another motivating video with clear actions I can actualize. Many notes taken! I esp like the understanding of an anti-vision and how it is a positive fear mechanism to kick me into action.
“I don’t know what I want” decoded means you are irritable, restless and discontent. Only connecting with the sublime version of yourself will fix this. Work can facilitate this change as you’ve shared it.
