The mindset that will (quickly) improve your life 

Thank you Matt D'Avella for the thumbnail inspo. His thumbnails are better than mine: ru-vid.com/show-UCJ24N4O0bP7LGLBDvye7oCA

A quote my mom wrote down for us kids. "You'll never be ready for what you have to do. You just do it and that makes you ready."

Once a guy gets an Audible sponsorship, then you know homie has made it

It seems like that RU-vid recommendation algorithm really cares about me.

Thank you! Glad to hear someone else say this. I’ve always thrown myself into things, everything from business ideas to travel, I just do it and figure the rest out later. Some people think I’m a little crazy but it’s always worked for me and it keeps life fun!

Guilty of being that person with the ideas but no action.

"paralysis by analysis" - gotta take a step to get where you want to go.

Goggins’ book is legit, good choice

You know he's the real one when he cuts the video off before 10 minutes

instead of first doing research on heroin, I just jumped right in and rode the dragon. Thank you for your inspiration.

I never wanted to do stupid shit when I was young, I always knew better, and then I find out I was supposed to do stupid shit and learn from it. It's just frustrating that I was essentially punished in the long run for being a good kid.

4:16 "Do the thing and you will have the power" this is so important for me as someone who tends to overthink and feel afraid to take the 1st step lol

GIVE ME MEANINGLESS VALIDATION WITH A HEART

Dude. Thank you. I'm 18 and have been in this 'paralysis by analysis' state for two years. I wanted to lose weight at one point, so I spent weeks finding the best weight loss program out there, but I ended up doing nothing. The same thing has happened with my passion, music. I haven't released any music because I'm trying to completely perfect it before I show it to the world, this has lead me to release nothing. It's time to do something, release this song I have, and go from there. Do the thing and you'll have the power - Ralph Waldo Emerson. Thanks man.

This is awesome !

I think it was the great philosopher Nike, who said - "Just do it"

*_I don't know if you read this, but i just want to thank you, how much you inspire me (us) lately. You can't imagine, what impact you have on your viewers. Keep it up like this. Love your content and your HUMOR._* ❤️❤️

This just inspired me to bite the bullet and book my first driving lesson instead of spending another day comparing prices and instructors 🥳

A change in mindset will literally change every aspect of your life. You can choose to have a negative or positive mindset and that is the deciding factor in a happy life.

"my bald head arrives on peoples home pages" yes thank you for this. This is the reason I like your videos.

I used to be that guy who talks about trying to accomplish my goals and just fall back on my couch and procrastinate. I now transformed my mindset where I am always itching to finish something I started, I live in uncomfortable situations rather than seeking comfort and so far it transformed my perspective in life. You are one of my motivators in life man :D

You’re videos radiate a certain energy that makes me motivated, hopeful and happy. You seem like a person that I is very approachable and I wish more people were like you. Imagine if everyone radiated this energy...

Pain of failure definitely teaches faster and helps to grow a thick skin. at the end of the day: *knowledge is potential power, applied knowledge is true power.*

Went to University with this guy! Totally cool vids man.... God bless you and keep it up! :)

there was a speech by denzel washington in a graduation ceremony, and he talked about this problem he called it fall forward, nothing is worthwhile in life if you don't take risks.

"All knowledge without any action is equal to zero" - I think this true quote fits perfectly here, sorry for not remembering who said it. This kind of information is the perfect antidote for procrastination and for always delaying any action taking....thanks a lot for it.

“If you never learn to take action, your ideas will be just that, ideas.” That realy hit me thanks man ❤️

Bro your gonna love this quote. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. How perfect is that!

It's a great mindset. I realised this years ago after dealing with choice anxiety, so I joined the army, then did a bachelor in psych, a masters in film, started a business whilst at the same time doing another masters in counselling. Better than still being stuck in that choice anxiety mode. Totally agree with you.

"Do the thing and you will get the power". Clever words!

My moms quote that I always tell my friends... “Look with your HANDS, and not with your EYES”. Translation: move things around, physically move things around, and you’ll find what it is your looking for. Thx Mom

This is so true! We lose a lot of time "thinking/planning/learning" about something, but the best way it's always doing it. Great video!

Best advice I ever received ‘don’t think just start doing’

"you'll learn faster by doing rather than by reading about it, watching a video abou-" *crashing noises as I make my way out of the house ignoring the rest of youtube forever*

He is promoting an agile mindset which has it's benefits for small projects but if you really have big dreams then you want to have a more planed approach.

When you do the thing and enjoying the process in the present, you're already living your dreams.

Dude, I am so happy I found you. It's not just what you're saying, which is in of itself is enlightening, but the way you present, the way you sometimes sort of self deprecate helps me relate.

I’ve been struggling with this for over a year and you just opened my mind a little bit. Thank you

Honestly, I randomly stumbled upon your channel and it resonates sooo much with my issues, you really helped me out man!

"Fire from the hip, stop reading about it and just DO IT" "Also, try this Audible:____" O.O

“Do the thing and you will have the power” ✨🙌

My parents have always steered me away from this and always emphasized the importance of planning to me. For some reason, it never resonated with me, maybe since our house is the one covered in unfinished projects and hoarded items. Constantly thinking about things has fed my anxiety disorders and overall started turning me into my parents, however, I know that taking action is a much better mindset-- the issue I have with getting on my feet is having lived through a childhood where I couldn't experiment on anything for myself without my parents steering me away from that thing. As a result, I lost many opportunities and overall just missed out on childhood. Only when I moved away to attend university did I get happy and walk out of my first semester with a 3.65, deciding to double major in music tech and CS. I only backpacked in the blue ridge mountains for 4 days because I said, "fuck it," and went ahead and did it. I'm generally much happier without my parents telling me all the downsides of everything I discuss, and try to avoid talking about my plans. TL;DR: The mindset in this video is 100% true. It is empowering and makes you feel so much happier with yourself in the long run, regardless of the outcome of the impulsive decision made. Thanks for this video, I needed a reminder since I've been stuck with my parents for a month on the winter holiday!

Just discovered this channel and holy shit I feel like my life’s about to change.

So basically you're telling me to leap first, think later? Got it. *jumps off cliff

Your videos are hitting exactly what I've been struggling with lately. Thank you for your work!

I've been making a crap ton of content for my brand recently thanks to you. You make me not overthink stuff and I love it!

Minds create reality! Master your mind, master your life!

Of all the “self improvement” videos I watch, and trust me, I watch a lot, this was one of my top 3. Thanks for the content, you’re the man!

This man just talk in front of a camera & changed my life in a few days and I am so thankful to found you on RU-vid!

This dude is churning out nothing but straight bangers, keep up the good work my dude

You didn't stretch the video past 10mins even though it was already 9:55. That speaks.

Action speaks louder then words -some guy

Just discovered you today and I’m binge listening while at work! Thanks for this content. It is extremely helpful to listen to while in a stressful environment. 💓

Joey Every time I watch some of your older videos it blows me away w how much wisdom and your ACTION videos. Love your personal practical shares of experience like the "gossip story" .. things like this make you superior in what you do and sharing your fails as well as your successes make one realize what an AMAZING PERSON YOU REALLY ARE! THANK YOU JOEY for getting the world moving again... and helping us fighting thru the depression without falling into that ruminating rut. Blessings and may the universe give you all you wish for for helping others! Mae LeBlanc & TinkerBelle 😊🐕

This is like the only selfimprovement channel on RU-vid that actually gives me useful information. Keep up the great work !

I see that we have to find the balance between planning and taking actions, cause sometime taking action without giving it a thought gonna take your life away

This is the grounding I needed that's digestible. Thank you.

Dude thanks for helping me out in the worst of my depressive slumps.

I love you Your one of the few inspirational RU-vidrs that is actually down to earth And by using examples that the average Joe can relate to, you easily connect and get their attention Plus you never talk about ways to make money or start a business instead you focus on giving people the mindset to be better and improve themselves Love you man, keep up the great work

Omg! Every word you are saying rings true, from an objective standpoint to my own self...your channel does offer better ideas 💡 thank you 🙏🏼

Thank you for your video! I was literally paralyzed with indecision yesterday about future career choices and your video really hit home.

Yes. 🙌🏼 Wisdom comes from (taking consistent, imperfect, messy) ACTION; not thought.

What you said is just what I needed to do in almost 2 years of just reading and thinking which way to take... Ahhh, it's so damn breaking feeling, but I recently just hopped into a way, and this is the best decision I did, and I'm waiting for what doors this would open to me later. Thank you a lot! 🌺

you're the reason why i bought the war of art book :) now me and my boyfriend go on about each other about fighting the resistance haha so thank you - now we're on the right mindset edit: also omg. i recognized the bins you had ahhaha! Surrey BC?! neighbooooor

You sir, are a genuine, good human being, that wants to help others! You've got a new sub!

It feels as though every one of your videos is tailored specifically to me and my problems. Comforting to know that so many others find themselves with similar experiences, and that they can be addressed with the clear and actionable solutions you provide. Cannot stress enough how much invaluable advice I've gleaned from your channel after discovering just a few days ago. Thank you.

"If you never learned to take action, your ideas will always be just that... ideas."

Just found your channel about a week ago (from a recommendation on a David Goggins video ironically). I've been implementing some of the tips from the trick your brain into doing hard things vid, and I have seen some incremental progress. Thanks for putting these videos out there.

"It calluses your mind" ... love it..

Notification squad, haha... Thank you for this! I totally agree. I'm done with detailed planning and I have experienced great results with an ACTION-first mindset. Good to get this confirmed as the way to go... Your channel is great! Thanks!

Action is definitely the way of moving you forward and getting things done, although planning does have its place at the right time because without it.... yep you will get burned!

Rather than obsessively deliberating over what path to take, just start to walk one. 🔥🔥🔥

I just came across your videos and it is been almost an hour that I have been watching them, thank you so much!🖤

I’m so glad I watched this every time I do this it turns out good in some way and it was always fun and felt like the right thing to do. I realize the mistake I made is listening to people’s opinions on why whatever failed and that I need to think before I act etc which just made me become fearful to do anything even remotely risky. I love the work you’re doing!

I'd like to thank you for all the wise advice you've put on RU-vid, its very obvious you put time and effort into these.

Great Video! Especially, your example with the diets. Even there your "shoot-first mentality" works. After reading many contradictory studies and anecdotes about diets, I decided to always try it myself and see how it works! It requires a lot of testing but I am a scientist and love experiments :D

You are absolutely bang on! So refreshing to hear someone say it bluntly in the way you do. Cheers!

Dude honestly you are the BEST self improvement channel

You're hilarious while looking very serious, I love it!

lmao that drop shipping part, this is so me

I've gotten a lot out of your videos, so from the bottom of my heart, genuinely, thank you.

This may actually be the most helpful channel I’ve ever come across. Content is amazing! Thank you for inspiring me!

It's like this guy knows what I'm thinking Literally need his advice right now

This is AMAZING! I’ve taken your advice and it had changed the game in my productivity with both business & life. Really enjoy your videos. Keep making awesome content:) THANK YOU!

Hey man! I found your channel a few days ago. Finally somebody who is down to earth and isn't so extemely all knowing. Life can be hard sometimes and there's not always a hack for that. And this channel shows that in perfect balance.

I like his advice and transparency about going through self development

when i looked at the video,i was like, this guy will easily have a couple of million subs. but you had just 340k,you really deserve more man. best of luck man and keep up the good work.

I needed this

this channel is really helping me, thank you so so much

His videos are extremely helpful and zero boring.

Make decisions quickly, and change them slowly

"Nothing else will move anything other than action." You killed me right there. I`m a pathetic Mr.Richinmythoaghts.

You’re my favorite dude on RU-vid. Your videos are wonderful, keep up the great work.

Totally saw the video in my feed. Liked the title. So glad I clicked on it. I've been an action taker all my life. First time I got knocked down and couldn't get back up. Watched another one of your videos. I gotta say i'm doing better than I was yesterday lol.

Awesome! You should make videos more frequently

Your videos keep me motivated in my darkest times.

Thank you for your videos they help me get through the hump in the afternoon to stay productive!
