"Most people ask for advice as a procrastination method to hide from the problems that they need to solve themselves". That really hit me. I'll definitely work on that, Dan 👊🏻 Appreciate it.
So true. Might try the advice even but only half hearted. Then complain that it doesn't work. Or trying to find the easy way out. Especially if you're trying to learn to code. Trying to avoid studying the documentation
As a man in his 50's I find myself in awe of your wisdom and insights into the human experience. You provide a lot of value and framework for life. It's appreciated more than you know, Dan.
I adopted this mindset last year. In the span of a few months i started working out i started to learn to code. I got a second job I started fasting and improve my savings. I even have my wallpaper in my phone saying. No one is going ro save you are are your own back up.
I went through this process when I was 27 and decided to change my career path. It was then that I began to understand that if I truly wanted something, I didn't need to persuade others to support me or seek approval. Instead, I learned to go quiet and focus on my plans, then JUST DO IT.
Everybody wants to dissuade me and discourage me because what I want to do is unconventional. So I don't want to tell anyone my goals anyway. Keeping my thoughts to myself is a very lonely road. But I am just chugging along.
100% true. I learned through heartbreaks and being cheated on by people that "No one's to be trusted. No one's going to save me and I came alone in this life and will die alone."
Pranjal, I'm sorry to hear about your heartbreaks, but they do not define the human species. There is a person for you, and you can manifest that person with a shift in mindset. If you focus on "No one can be trusted" then you won't be disappointed. Try the reverse, cautiously, and see what happens! 😊
A few years ago, when I was in high school, I wanted to start a rock band. I was eagerly waiting for the day when my band would come together and I could join. But as time went by, nobody approached me, and eventually, my younger friends formed their own rock band. I was too afraid to ask if I could join them. This experience taught me a valuable lesson - sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands, whether it's pursuing your passion for music, advancing in your career, or starting a business. Ultimately, you are 100% responsible for making things happen. Nobody will do it for you.

I’m a 56 year old Massage Therapist former homeschool mom with a son your age. You have mentored me into my own solo practice . Next step is to move away from this level of client work as it’s only slightly more lucrative than being an employee .
Sometimes I feel like an old dog who starts acting like a puppy again when a new puppy is around, lol. Age really is just a number. I have a 14-year-old daughter who is so emotionally intelligent that I look to her when I'm wondering if I'm in the wrong. She, of course, looks to me for help with all the new situations she encounters in this life. Dan's a good voice to recapture that youthful feeling that anything is possible.
nah, better not tell anyone what you're doing, especially close friends and family. idk about most people but in my case, friends don't really like me being "ahead" of them and family just doubts my ability to accomplish the goal unless i can do it in a short time. so nah, i'm on my own here
Unfortunately this happens. It is happening to me heavily from friends and family because I have a reputation of not following through, of not being disciplined and of making rash unplanned decisions. I've changed greatly over the last decade and most of my changes were on my own so they didn't see me making the strides and improvements and in turn, I haven't changed their impression of who I am and what I am capable of. Now it's just time to keep quiet and accomplish and the actions will prove to all that I've changed and have improved.
I am three weeks into retirement and the second week had a crippling arthritis flare. It is maddening. My health coach says it is the stress of retirement. I agree. But I joined a gym, I am downsizing my stuff even if it is just one box a day. I am reading your book in small snippets because that is all I can digest at a time. I truly enjoy your newsletter, insta feed and videos. Thank you!
Waiting to start something because you aren’t ready yet is what’s keeping you from getting better at that thing. You only get good after you’ve done it enough times to make enough mistakes to learn and improve.
To take back the control I bought your MENTAL MONETISATION course. And yes, when someone ask me - 'What you do these days", i answer them that - 'If I'll tell you it won't happen😁'. Can't wait for JUNE 3 !!!!!!!
“When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things” 1 Corinthians 13:11, (KJV).
LOVE the last section "f*ck your feelings" and the badassery with "do whatever you want... I Will sleep at night" I LOVE this "wake the f*ck Up" tone.❤
I'm cancer survivor 35 years old Traveled the world for a decade + done 50-80 odd jobs , worked with brain injured clients as coach for 3 years before diagnosis now I'm goal less. - nobody iss coming to save me and I don't see next steps which im passionate about current life season is recovering from chemo treatment and consuming youtube and podcasts without clarity coming through
Clarity will come with time. Take your time to recover. There is a reason our great great ancestors aimed both for healthy body and healthy soul. There was period of time when you fought for your life. Fingers and nails. Now you have remission and feeling of emptiness. It is natural. Do your best to get your health back and live your best life. There is a reason why you are here and alive. With time you will discover it. Good luck!
Congratulations on surviving cancer! Do you remember what your vision for your life was, before you got hit with the diagnosis? Is that vision, today, still what you want to achieve? Did it change? Start with writing down what you don't want for your life, which will lead to what you do want. What steps do you need to take to stay healthy and bring the vision for yourself 'alive' ? All the best on your future endeavors. Warm regards, Patty
Hey congratulations on beating cancer, you're ALIVE man !!! That's a better news. You feel like you're in a rut. Try taking a walk and think about what would make you smile in 2 years if you started doing now. And also not to shove the religious thing down your throat but try JESUS too, I know, i know you might have your take and the religious folks but honestly give HIM a try with an open mind. Stay blissful man.
I just finished my final exams and was sick of living in a rut . I decided to change even if it's painful and just then this video showed up . Thank you sir !
Complete opposite is true for me and many great people (not saying I am great it is just a mindset). Michael Jordans trainer, Tim Grover said, Micheal would tell opponents what he would do before the game, and by simply telling them, he was now held accountable to deliver on his statements. Kobe did this. Great artists did this, Beethoven, Mozart.... I do the same. I tell people because it puts a real pressure on me to deliver.
Dan, you've helped me become accountable in my work and really start my YT journey. I needed the inspiration and guidance so that I can guide others. Big things coming for my channel and myself, even if I'm unsure how it's going to take shape you've given me the ability to be confident in myself and my channel. Much appreciation for your unique advice!
I had an epiphany yesterday & you just expressed it in its entirety! I'm seeing how the algorithm works & though it's tedious & slow hoing for me right now, I KNOW I will reach my goal. Thank you for all the lightbulb moments!
I needed to hear this.. the title grabbed me! I was feeling hopeless yesterday for some reason, but i know if i work hard and trust in God , he will bring me out this slump.
This was a great video, Dan!! I actually said this very thing to myself recently, that no one is going to save me, I will need to save myself. So that's what I'm doing, I've got my vision and know where I want to go. I deeply appreciate your videos, they help reinforce ideas and beliefs and behaviors.
Omg this is me so much I was trying to figure out why I do this. Every single time I do share what I want to do all of a sudden I stop. It's like I sabotage myself, instead of just doing it. Thanks Dan your the man
Man, your video popped up at such a good time! Like, life was again starting to feel shitty again and i was losing my vision. But you reminded me, again. Thank you. But these 2 words can never describe my gratitude so I'll make sure my actions do! ❤❤
This is very true, and it resonates with me . Thanks so much for this. You have really helped me realise that if I don't get myself out, no one will. Thanks again for this 😊
I like the fact that you don’t try to sell a magic recipe for success to people but try to make them understand that they need to find their own personal way to it. It is refreshing
It is happening to me heavily from friends and family because I have a reputation built throughout my teens and early 20s of not following through, of not being disciplined and of making rash, unplanned decisions. I've changed greatly over the last decade and most of my changes were on my own so they didn't see me making the strides and improvements and in turn, I haven't changed their impression of who I am and what I am capable of. Now it's just time to keep quiet and accomplish and the actions will prove to all that I've changed and have improved.
Hi Dan Koe and viewers. That probably the most rewarding thing. Don't tell a thing what you do, accomplish. It could be hard that no one is cheering, clapping for you but achieving your goal is more important. Also, taking advice is good but taking action is what leads to better tomorrow.
Great video. The mental clarity I am getting from watching your videos has significantly reduced my stress as I am aware of my surroundings and also more in control of my behaviour.
No one is coming. But honestly Dan with what u doing online in a way you have helped. But at the end of the day we must act to solve the problem. Thanks for this
Thanks for making this video, Dan. I'm in that place you mentioned; The dark, sometimes hopeless place we all sooner or later will visit. You made me get my shit together again. I have a goal to achieve, And new life to create. F being broke and chained to a corporate gig. All the best, Doug
Unfollow you? You are bold Dan. Love it. The statement of someone having true success. Just started following you so won't be resetting my social media list anytime soon. And I WILL be spending a LOT of time binge-watching your content the next couple months, rewiring my brain, and most likely getting your book and other offers. Amazing content. Please continue your journey of reshaping humanity in a positive way.
Fantastic advice. You learn by doing. When you tell others before completing the goal or giving a good try at completing the goal there can be a lot of doubt interjected from people who will look for the exception to the rule or try to “protect you from failure.” But you learn from failure. And our ideas might be a little more grandiose than the reality. So we have to trial our ideas by actually attempting to apply our talents and skills to them. If all we do is talk about them, we WILL talk them to death. I know from experience. I was highly skilled at killing my ideas by over analyzing.
The level of inefficiency and corruption in this administration is becoming absurd. Those who are disabled and do not receive the support to which they are legally entitled make me sad. I sincerely thank you, Leah Foster Alderman. Imagine making $6k in four days with an investment of $1.5k.
That woman transformed my entire life for the better. Among the folks I've met, Leah appears to be the most trustworthy. I'm surprised you know her as well.
It’s like with each new video Dan posts I gain a renewed sense of perspective on life. In this past month alone I’ve gotten clarity on what it is I don’t want from life. In that, I can consciously decide how I’d like to move forward. I think the most profound take I’ve gotten out of my journey is this: we all have a choice, complacency or progression. If you don’t choose one you become complacent by default. Truly powerful stuff
I can highly recommend the strategy which Dan mentioned half way through. I myself did this sort of manipulation of the algorithms on all my social media and I started to quickly take action on my vision because as soon as I saw something that I was interested in or something which alligned with my future life I was quick to engage with the content, I also did vice versa with every person or content I didn’t like by using the “not interested” feature! The result is that if you are going to use social media anyways, you at least gain some healthy insights or new ideas which you can apply in YOUR own life :)
You made me realise something fundamental about myself - I get again kick out of the theory, but fall short on the practical. I get the dopamine hit from knowing and now from the doing. Last night I bought 2 Hour Writer, and although I have been journaling for years, this course (only 2 modules in) has already opened my eyes to a way that I can combine this 'fault' of mine with writing to produce something that will be my lifes work.
5:32 Dan Kennedy refers to this as the Gold Star Syndrome… it’s so true though and I see areas I’ve struggled with this in my life without realizing it. As soon as you tell someone your goal you feel an odd sense of satisfaction, even though nothing has actually been accomplished yet. I’ve decided to not tell anyone anymore until after it happens!
For over 20 years i thought that something, somehow, someway would bring me happiness, money and freedom. Only when i took ownership did i start to live. It has been a hell of a journey to the top. Stay Uncommon!
The most dopamine by far is released when the question of achieving the goal or not is uncertain (like not being sure whether one gets the Christmas present one wished for). It‘s the means assuring you cling to your efforts instead of giving up too early.
Great insights in your video! Embracing the mindset of self-reliance and continuous learning can truly transform challenges into stepping stones for success. 👏
11:24 Actually I don’t want to unfollow you Dan because you are one of the persons I always look up to and aspire to be, couldn’t relate more to your content 💪🏽
i liked the longer lens you used before more. it gave your videos a more serious, even kind of mean or dangerous look ✌️ but anyways, great video. thank you dan
