Same here, I too am 48, and feel as though my life is just beginning, or at least starting from scratch. I guess 48 is not the "old" age it used to be. Thank God it's not too late! Hope you accomplish all your endeavors!
Man! Do you want Dan's level of wisdom? 1. Take a piece of paper 2. Write a letter to yourself explaining your current struggles and goals 3. Put it into nice envelope 4. Date it for 2025 5. Wait one year 6. Open the letter 7. Be surprised how everything changed 8. Repeat Writing letters to yourself is a great tool for self-reflection leading to wisdom
One thing he misses about people who run to secure jobs is that in order to self actualize you have to have a minimum level of safety and security in order to calm your nervous system. The system is broken and it’s not the peoples fault. We have people with billions of dollars literally burning it while others starve on the street.
This is an important miss and itts the foundation of everything. What if you have a pattern, maybe inherited, where in every situation in your life from your earliest memory where highly narcissstic, malignant, psychopathic people have power over you and what you do. What condition do you think someone who hasa had this will be in by their 20s. From the paedophile who abused you as a child, from the boy who abudcted you when you were 4 and tried to murder you by smashing glass into your neck. The highly dysfunctional family. The complete lack of love. No positive parenting. the arrival of a psychopathic stepparrent. Yearrs of gaslighting, abuse, triangulation. At 14 i had at least 4 of these types of people with control over my life. Of course i had passions, i found joy . Childhood is a remarkably rresilient time. Then you hit 20s, it catches up wiht you , you develop mental illness career plans are thwarted. Im not writing this as a cry for pity. But it is very difficult to follow this plan when you are ( or your mind has convinced you) you are completely broken. Just food for thought. Its all learrning!
that does not work at all... that works if you are still in the illusion that life must have purposes, and d that you are in control and that there are right and wrong things for your persona to do and not do.... if you are a kid, yes, then this works... when you have been through life when you have been through a real crisis, which you have not, then you will see that there are not solutions, there are no truths of what actions, routines nad field of work that suits any person, is all an illusion. he starts off well, he is on the right track in analysing how people are today... but the solution is not to just start your lief over in another field of work... an emotional sense, that something feels right will last a short while when you have been through and done most kinds of things in life... is not as easy as it is for kids, people under 35 that is... they are kids who see themselves as amazing and jump on to anything... if you want to go deeper.. that is not the way, a goal means nothing, an e, in that you are a singer, or a business guy, or a doctor.. is all fake... no one is any of those things... and there is nothing that needs to be finished.. how can there be anything that needs to be finished? you are going to die no matter if you finish things or not, so it will never ever matter if you finish anything, because the day you die, there will still be things that are not finished, and nothing makes more sense to life, flow state is in the moment today when you sense it, and it can happen in any subject you do. so there is no subject that relates to you, subjects are made by marketing, by business people wanting to maximise profit and recruitment but they hold no truths, no relation to your actual person... your emotional state is always shifting, how shall you ever know what are YOU? don't be his fanboy.. be your own best fan! 💟
@@moneyInbank I hear you man, these aren’t takeaways from what Dan said verbatim. I’m sorry they weren’t helpful for you. I probably should have said, “My takeaways” lol. What were your top takeaways?
Yeah man, this video might have actually saved my entire year. I felt really bad I missed a day of the daily habits that would lead me to achieving my goals for this year already, and this triggers all sorts of negative emotions or wanting to put me in the ruts that prevented me from achieving all my goals last year. The mind is a scary thing, if you let your emotions guide you unchecked without observing them & not deciding things purely from what the brain comes up with it can lead you to even worse places to be mentally, negative thoughts overflooded my mind & for the next day I missed half of all the good habits instead of just one, I panicked thinking oh no my current self is never gonna become my ideal self, I'm doomed I might as well give up. Now I'm optimistic, cheerful, and can get back on track without doubt or fear, I know all the new things I do will eventually become routine in a few months and it will get easier.

You get a whole week off from work?! I'm lucky if I get Christmas! I'm not even doing anything important like a doctor or nurse. I just do customer service. I hate this job.
I know not smiling in your thumbnails is part of your brand. But it seems ironic that you are talking about finding joy when your thumbnail looks stern and unhappy. Do you think your thumbnail says 'finding joy'?
I loved this video! Thank you so much. The title caught me straight up, as I am VERY much feeling like that. You not only relate but provide true examples and guidance. I have saved this for future reference Thank you 🙏
Dan, I've been binging your content and I can honestly say your content has really inspired me to live such a better life! Like actually have the tools to build a business. I really appreciate everything you've done for this community! Love your work!
i followed him a lot like a guru @@XaltLXRD , His recent videos are getting confusing and complicating . Problem i see is he is trying to sell from his last 3 videos..
Life is ups and downs and we expect to be stable it's against the nature. If we become okay with ups and downs then all our problems will not feel like forever.
Hey Dan, I have been trying to watch your content from a few months but I am having some ISSUE As I know whatever you are talking about is the right kind of information I need but I am not able to comprehend that knowledge in my mind. What should be done here according to you.
6:52 is insane because if you ask most people what success means to them, chances are they would respond with “being able to ENJOY life”. You just broke it down by pushing people to find joy in their present moment. Celebrate the process. You must create success internally to be rewarded with success externally! As always, great shit Dan!
1. Your mind = supercomputer. A lot of people occupy their RAM with thoughts ab past mistakes, future events, distractions etc. Your attention should be on your vision for your life, the plan that would bring you there and the education you consume for that vision. 2. How to win the game? Too much info = anxiety, too little info = boredom so live between the two by learning and than applying. 3. A plan for a meaningful life = New info, create something with the info, practice, teach it to others 4. Create a new game = You need to know how to win, what to do to get there and what are the updates your character needs to succeed.
I prayed last night because I can’t grasp the 1st step to organiza my days again. I got sick and it is hard but it will be easy now! I’ll do these steps! Will fight some and overcome it, thanks!
Insane value here! I discovered your content a couple of months ago. Just as I was coming to the conclusion of going all in on my digital entrepreneurship journey, I start seeing your videos. I love the authenticity and the realness here. Tnx, Dan! Here's to all of us believing in ourselves and making 2024 an awesome year.
The part about taking in the right amount of new information and then using that info to go and build something really hit home for me. I tend to overload on information and then my brain becomes too overwhelmed to take real action steps. As someone trying to start a business while working a full-time job, your videos are helping me to gain focus and clarity. Now it’s time to execute even if it’s just 30-60 minutes a day. Thanks for your dense and detailed content, Dan! 🙏🏽

Great video Mr.Koe! Noticed the cycles/seasons over the last few years in my own life. It’s like we can sprint, thrive, manifest and win effortlessly for a period then there’s a cool down or losing season where 💩 just happens. Made over $100k in four months during the winning season in 2023. Aiming for $250k in 2024. No matter which season you may be in just know victory or defeat is right around the corner. Prepare accordingly.
Do it bro! Forget about ages. If you believe ages matter, this will limit your creativity and you will be blocked. But if you just don't give a shit (which is something you can train for), you will be surprised by what you will be able to do. Just go for it, learn, play, and create content using Dan's strategies and you will have a lot of fun, meet like minded people, and even make money before starting college. By the time your friends graduate you will probably be making several times more money than them. Keep in mind that at first you will feel lost and it is fine. Your first posts or videos will be shit and it is perfectly OK.
@@juanchotc17 Yes, brother, I've been creating educational content since February 2023. Unfortunately, this particular content didn't perform well, but it taught me a great deal about storytelling, editing, viewer psychology, and graphic designing. My fascination with business has been constant-I launched my first business, an e-commerce store selling eBooks, at the age of 14. Despite its failure, I grasped the fundamental principles of business and moved on to subsequent ventures. After three consecutive business failures, I initiated my fourth business, yet due to a lack of funds, it also faced the same fate. At this point, I'm considering starting an agency based on my skills. I've always believed that RU-vid would be the ideal platform to support my personal brand. Developing a personal brand significantly aids in business, hence I'm planning to document my journey. Thank you, brother.
Everything that you do and stick with at such an early age will be a solid skill when you are in your 20s! Don't expect your first years of practice to produce the best work, but do it anyway and you will see something great with enough diligence and patience. Let your focus be that of honing your skill and having fun. Don't start with the focus of wide success, that will come later...
right timing man, these cycles are so weird and I used to confuse them (or still confuse) with mental health issues like depression, adhd, whatever. First began noticing them when I started on Twitter. Made that ''One Person Business'' idea my obsession (discovered you and your masterclass there afterwards), had a blast following that road, noticed myself slipping and tried to stop it from happening, ended up signing up for college which put a nail in the coffin. Well after that I found another obsession, this time fixing my environment because through that Twitter road I figured that's what's in my way. Did that and now I feel myself losing the grip on that ''purpose''. Anyway, crazy to think this was 1 year, I miss those times and the people I've met there. want to start again, but im kinda very tired, just a little break..
I am finding difficult to choose my path. I sometimes wanna do 9 to 5 job when i failed in doing online biz. I have started my online teaching biz for a year.But i dont feel motivated to do this too. I feel i am easily to change, my motivation lasts for a short time. What should i do, Dan?
Don't stress yourself with a routine, plan, work week, etc. Just listen to your body and follow your mind, knowing that routines and plans can be broken and adjusted in a way you deem fit. When you feel in the waters that the current is against you, would you paddle against it, or navigate through its flow? Don't be ashamed to break or change the routine/plan once in a while when you sense you should. It's not ill discipline, it's to be in flow, it's agency, autonomy. Move like water, and let its current guide, cleanse and polish you.
Dan is not someone you can listen to in the background. I try to listen at work but I end up stopping work to focus on what he’s saying and never regret it.
ughhhh this is the exact video I was looking for! This is where I am. Feel like I've lost my "fire" I've always been an ambitious dreamer and doer. Lately, I haven't felt motivation or enthusiasm for life in general. I need to get my fire back! It feels good to know this is a normal thing to go through.
Summary: Mind as a Supercomputer: Your mind has limited focus capacity. Use your attention wisely for meaningful activities. 7-Day Life Reset: Reflect on feelings and routines. Set clear life goals. Prioritize remove and restructure daily activities. Develop habits of learning and building. Create a weekly plan for better structure. Embrace Mistakes: Mistakes are opportunities for learning and growth. Don't fear making them. Creating Your Life Game: Life is like a game; understand its rules. Start with a clear vision and set achievable goals. Focus on continuous improvement. Joy in Learning and Building: Dedicate time to learn new things. Allocate time for building tangible projects. Begin with 30 minutes each day and increase gradually.
The reason why you felt down is because we feel happiest when we are striving towards our goals not when we attain them. We need time to rest and reflect and to allow another passion to move into our sphere. Not having that new passion can cause depression especially in passionate people who lose themselves in the “now” of the artistic “flow”. If we look at the non productive period or “depressed” period of time as a period we are resting in our cocoon awaiting the right time to shed our skin and become a butterfly and fly off into our next period of passion and start our meaningful small steps towards our new goals our depression automatically lifts as we now have meaning again in our lives. That’s why setting goals big or small are good for us and our sense of meaning here on earth. Happy person = mean full life= taking action even in small steps towards an end goal and not the goal itself.
Hey Dan! 10 minutes before I started to watch your video, I was meditating and then I made some mind rehearsals about the exactly same topic you are describing here along this video! I got your vibe! Goosebumps!!!😊 Good vibes for you!
Dan - how can I create a speed coach (for team sports/athletes) IG page while also keeping it general or nicheless? is it possible? I would prefer to keep it more general and sell speed training programs along with other interests like editing skills down the line. I also have not seen it done, all speed coaches just post speed content
Good lord dude - you spout these phrases in your monotone way and there's zero connection to you. You barely even touch upon how these ideas affect you, how you struggled with them and when you do, it's in the same monotone delivery which makes you sound like a robot. Relax The idea that one can reset their life in 7 days isn't reasonable at all. It takes time, effort, mistakes, reevaluation, adaptation, and so much more. It's iterative and not a one time only thing that once done, everything just flows from there.
Here's the ten second summary of the full video: 1. Buy my book 2. Buy my courses 3. Oh, don't consume too much or too little info 4. Buy my planner 5. Block all the distractions
Started out so brilliantly, but soon we’re into cliched hustle bro terrain, all for single young white guys or those whose partners do all the domestic work. Your lifestyle depends on service workers and someone has to birth and raise them, and there is nothing that blows up routines like babies and kids. Typical hustle bro silence on that. People don’t go online or do business on major holidays? Diddums, have them shot. Where’s the understanding of cycles here, of the bleak mid winter of void when all is dormant and nothing grows? We need rest! Minds don’t function 24/7: 365/12 like this. The dormant void is normal, healthy, part of natural law. It’s just being clear when it’s that and not something more sinister. Ain’t no planner can help with that.
Months of studying dans content & courses (a few other courses), trial & error, and finally having the overall system click. Came back here to fuel the next product. Novelty feels good.
Some of these videos, I kid you not, he definitely was tripping on psychadelics to make these observations. This is Zen master level of observations. Very good. Very good.
Ive overloaded myself with so much reading, writing, and consuming that I’m frozen. I constantly create in my mind, on paper, and on my phone, but I fail to release it to the universe. I’m anxious in my own skin and can’t sit still, but I don’t know where to start because I’ve never been in this space before.
I'm favoured only God knows how much I praise Him, $230k every 4weeks! I now have a big mansion and can now afford anything and also support God’s work and the church. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Only God knows how much grateful i am. After so much struggles I now own a new house and my family is happy once again everything is finally falling into place!!
Been in a hole for about 4-5 years. Ran out of people to cover it with. Running out of ideas to counter it. I tried music. I tried programming. Tried to build out my home training routine and got a tennis elbow 🤣 I still think I can make it work - but I need to feel better. I need people for that, but the walls have become very impressive.
What I do with my day - feed the cat, eat breakfast, commune with God, get ready for the day, clean, cook, was up, feed the cat, read, study, qi gong, feed the cat, laundry, food, wash up, clean, read, God, sleep - but you are right, the feel of life is different, I wonder why? Fear.
Women live through these cycles every month. And then we go through bigger cycles of it, like you’re talking about at the beginning. Learning to support ourselves through ‘winter’ every month helps when going through larger dormant cycles.
Dan - synchronicity is real. I've been going hard and progressing pretty steadily but all of a sudden on my day off I just crashed...I'm not enjoying anything. Im in the "rabbit hole of obsession" as you said
If your body doesn't feel good, study what you're putting into it. If your mind doesn't feel good, study what you're putting into it. What goes in is what comes out. Swap rituals. Change your intake. It really is that simple. I wrote down how many major obstacles I've overcome in my past to remind me of the fortitude and capacity of my resolution and will and that I can overcome whatever I face today and in the future. You're a bright light in my world.
First, can you offer an example from real life, let's say yours, when you experienced what you're describing here and how your teachings helped you overcome it?
Thank you Dan, your videos are always in the right moment which again proves we are all experiencing similar challenges just on different levels. I love your videos for grounding and always coming out with the take away of always having the solution to the next step. And often it’s so much easier and obvious than our mind tends to think. Sometimes it feels like Dan is the instruction to life
Yeah... None of this works for me. I'm the guy that keeps your lights on, has at your pumps, food on your shelves. Everyone just needs money and some actual time to enjoy life.
Man your contents are like cheats thank you for that I wanted to be more efficient and u made it easier I would have taken a lot of time realizing my mistakes that's why it feel like it's a cheats and also I wanted to tell u that your the fist ever person who genuinely care about people ❤ well most people are doing this for money rather the caring for people
I dont have any friends anymore. The last ones I did have after a while seemed to want to put me down rather than do anything to lift me up or help me. .My cat is my only friend. And the only people I associate or talk to on a regular basis is my son, sister, aunt and cousin.
You have to change your mind and that you can try, but to brake you patterns is much harder. It is not that easy no matter what you say, because you will still have the memory
Hey Dan Koe, Just wanted to drop a comment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the immense value your content brings. Over the past six months, your RU-vid videos have been a constant source of inspiration and learning for me. Can't thank you enough for the insights and knowledge you generously share. Your contributions have truly made a significant impact on my journey. Thanks a million, man! 🙌
i used to think i could escape the matrix - building companies, joining startups, quitting jobs. it's all laughable - there's no real way to escape. i think the world is a series of matrixes stacked on top of each other. i'm a new creator who writes the occasional thought essay - sharing stories through food, as a vehicle. videos like yours are what inspired me to start this page. excited to see where this goes next. happy 2024!
I am listening intently. My downturn(s) are not cyclical...more like always simmering and semi permanent. Yet I have lately been practicing to elevate myself to a more balanced mindset. This video is gold. Thanks!
Best auto play suggestion in years. Love your stuff. I’ve followed this same method thru other teachings myself many times and I have achieved massive results. Each time I fall, however, one seems to forget that it is repeatable. Each time, one loses confidence. Thanks for the reminder that it’s in the process, and everything is possible
Nice.when im down i seek out the orphans and widows...ppl without voices that need help at like shelters or hospitals. Its rewarding and gets your mind off self. To see just HOW blessed You are.
