Will you do a regret questionnaire on insta etc.. get the ball rolling. The dad one got me. My mum died in her sleep. So many regrets not telling her i loved her enough amongst so many others. But... it taught me to say it now to those i care about and make time. Ring your dad!
@@mariaware8445 at least you learned… 🫶🏻 hard way to learn that lesson… actions speak louder than words, forgive yourself because you actually learned the lesson of letting people know beyond the words ❣️👍🏻 Hope you’re okay ❤️🩹🎁
"When in doubt...Act." That's a wonderful statement that i will remember from now on whenever i am in doubt/procrastinating . excellent episode by the way Steven .
If people had the character to do this, they wouldn't need to be told. What people really need help with is cultivating the ability to act. Success is a habit, not an act.
Consider that perhaps your hesitation is a good response. Hear me out. When you act, you get consequences, which could be potentially detrimental to your well-being. That's a risk, that you need to at least consider. Acting without thinking is the #1 reason most people suffer at their own hands. I suggest that once you make a decision--and decide it is a good decision--act. Do think first, but don't allow it to become an excuse for not acting, especially because often there is a time limit on successful action.
I actually only watched this episode by mistake (as I didn’t realise that my previous video had stopped), but I’m so glad I did, as this is arguably my favourite episode. What an interesting man, and what a criminally underwatched episode.
Dan Pink is one of my favourite authors...love his books and he speaks good sense. So happy that you've had him on your podcast. I love "manifestation without work is delusion", "Successful businesses go with the grain of human nature" and "sales has changed more in the last 10 years than it has in the previous 1000". Thanks Dan and Steven for a great episode!
## This is gold - I would be very surprised that this episode is not the most watched on this channel. If you are a leader and want to improve your team morale , this is the episode that can help.
Great conversation! I have not seen a single episode that didn't make me think about my life critically and I have a great appreciation for what you do for all of us listening.
"Treat yourself with kindness not contempt" - so true that we talk to ourselves in a manner that we wouldn't dream of talking to anyone else with! BRILLIANT conversation yet again, thankyou Steven!
Hi Steve I’ve been on a journey of self discovery now for about 3 years, ever since my split from my daughters father. I’ve been delving into meditation, gratitude, mindfulness and listening to podcast after podcast. I knew of you but it’s only recently I started listening to The Diary of a CEO. I love your work. You are a fantastic interviewer, you put all your guests at ease, you have a lovely way about you and your empathy and understanding towards others is amazing for a young man. I had never heard of Daniel Pink. His books are now a necessity for me to purchase . Continue being you, I hope your phone call with your dad bridges that gap. Take care. Lots of respect. Bree
Just wanted to write a comment which I don’t usually do hahaha, but I will say that true manifestation isn’t just dreaming big and thinking you’re good enough for those things to just appear to you in your life. True Manifestation is about showing up, doing the work, knowing that you have whatever you want for your future, because ultimately doing the work will get you there. There obviously may be people in the world who think manifestation is like you were saying, just dreaming and it coming to fruition (if that helps people then show me the flip in way because I want that too hahahahaha) but True Solid Manifestation is not just that. It’s turning up, showing up for yourself, doing the dam WORK, and know that your dreams are yours because you work dam hard and you’ll get there. Hope that makes sense but just wanted to clarify haha! I know it may be confusing but Roxie Nafousi is amazing at this and has written a book, and you need to get her on here :)
SUCH a valuable conversation!!! Fellow Owl here 🙌🏻 I always say that I love (well, used to, before I had a child) to stay in the office late, not because I had sooo much to do, but because 6-7pm have always been my most productive hours, by far! I am brain dead in early morning until 10am at least, in terms of creativity and focus.
I did not expect this episode to be one of my favourites but WOW. Got so much value from this. Excited to read some of DP’s work. Thanks to the incredible DOAC team for continuing to raise the bar around both quality/quantity in content creation!
As a guy who has lost his goal/way. This is possibly one of the most "real" motivational, self searching videos out there. I find that this/these videos are so important for people like myself. I'm not a business owner or a CEO, just an employee who has lost his way. But seeing your videos I've finally found a drive to move forward and stop being hesitant. Thank you so much for your time, energy and informative response, you put into these videos. Although I am listening, I will keep this to myself.
this was the podcast i didn’t know i needed to hear… i was gonna to skip this one but listened anyway because i was free and picked up so many gems. amazing episode
Loved it. Thanks Steven. Regret/Failure resume is a good point and for me, I leant the best lessons because of wrong decisions and failure. No birth lottery for us in the 3rd world - we got to create it and win it for us.
What a wonderful conversation! So many takeaways! I for sure want to purchase the book and do the ‘failure resume’ exercise. Happy you decided to reach out to your father. One of my regrets, not going to my biological mom’s funeral because I was so upset with her. Daniel Pink was right, that regret doesn’t go away. Fantastic conversation. Pages of notes! ❤️
Great balanced conversation with good reflection on both your lives. The last bit about privilege was the cherry on the cake, such a great point about "birth lottery" and playing it back.
Storytelling for business marketing 🙌 absolute GOLD. I have heard this before but didnt think too much about it. I feel like this will be a hugely important piece of the jigsaw puzzle moving forward! THANK YOU 😉
I'm so happy to hear Stevens thoughts on manifestation! This fashionable fluffy essentially wishing that's been rebranded and sold to so many people. You can't just lay on the floor and wish yourself some thing better and have it happen. It just doesn't work like that.
Something captured me around the 28;00 mark. We often look at raw numbers without recognizing the high value of impact on the margin. I’ve often considered it lazy to demonstrate our success by showing numbers impacted who are within the norm. It is those who are two standard deviations from the norm. Those on the margins. The impact we have on them is far more valuable than the general population. You may influence the normal population, but what an accomplishment to positively influence those who don’t fit in that category! The numbers may not swell our algorithm ratings, but what a deep, meaningful accomplishment!
Purpose is a sense that is beyond explanation, but all I can say is that it will never be found in self gain. People can agree or disagree, but I'm yet to find a person that can say that living selfishly for themselves brought them some form of purpose.
Concerning the different sleep/wake times, I would like to mention this: My children have the privilege of going to school in the afternoon every other month. So my teenager loves the sleeping in. But, the month when they go to school in the morning, she enjoys as well because it allows her to be disciplined which she loves every now and then. I see how they are profiting from this way of schooling not only sleep wise but also psychologically and especially the fact that they are learning to stay flexible and how to break habits (stay detached from some material things). 😊
Love this guy on so many levels, esp what he said abt bullying and regret and doing better today by including ppl. Love also what he said abt no one teaches you abt how to deal with negative emotions. I struggled for so long.
To point of regreting eating bread (gluten): perhaps consider the type of bread you are eating. There are non-gluten breads out there. Exchange wheat bread for bread made of other grains. Try it.
Book time out in your calendar for family time the same way you do with your work. Get your PA to do it and hold you to account the same way they would a meeting. I’ve got into the habit of doing this and it’s helped so much with switching off and appreciating the time. It’s soon goes and you’re too good a guy for that regret so get it done 👊🏻 possibly my favourite podcast this one. I’ve taken so many little nuggets of wisdom away 👏 thank so you both.
The title of his book at first made me a little unsettled but actually listening to him explaining it wow yes has so much sense to it, very wise, loved this one!!❤️
Amazing content. I was using this episode as some positive procrastination to an essay I was writing and not only did it inspire me to stop procrastinating I used Pink's regret book as a source for a reflective essay for University. Sometimes the universe is on your side! Thanks for the source ;)
Random one but hoping Steven catches this. Am I the only one who would actually love to see you do a podcast with Martin lewis ? I think it would be a great conversation to have given the current economic climate
Top moments No fluff. Lots of books would be x2 as good if they were /2 as long! 04:50 Ridiculous intro = 'That is exactly why she left me.' 44:55 Hence use ridiculous intro ideas in your videos Real courage is 59:00 staring at your regrets and acting When asked what to do 1:06:35 do not ask what would u do, ask what would u tell your best friend to do! Assets 1:30:30 What is overvalued and undervalued Planning is overvalued, Actions are undervalued
Was this filmed slightly different to normal? I can't recall you looking down the lense so much. It's a good touch if it was, kind of drew me in even more. Loved his non-nonsense replies to regrets. 🤛🤜
Incredible 🙌 Thoroughly enjoyed this episode🤗 Thank you Mr Bartlett & your team. Daniel Pink, thank you so much. I came away from this podcast feeling quite refreshed & I will be doing lots of work on my self and regrets. 🤗 Take care, Jo
I see so much about “manifestation” on social media and I am so glad I wasn’t going mad about finding it almost comical that you can “manifest” something without doing any work! Another excellent episode 👏🏽
This really helped give me the nudge I needed, definitely been struggling with motivation and my mental health, a different perspective really helps to get past that mental block. Props to the team for amazing podcasts 👏
Took away so much from this! What less sugary snacks did you replace in your draw? I love sugary treats but know I need to tone them down and get more healthier ones 🤣
The best episode for me to date by far! I got so many great pieces of information/advice that are actually practical to apply, and actually gave me so many ‘aha’ moments.. brilliant episode!
So I would challenge the ‘regrets’ idea. I have experienced many ‘business owners’ almost having a race to the bottom, because of this messaging. People are almost spending too much time telling their ‘story’ and trying to outdo each other as to how inspiring, motivational and upsetting it can be. Way too many people telling each other they are inspirational because they burned their tongue on a Costa Coffee as opposed to going up a mountain with no arms and no legs…that’s inspirational. The premis is correct, but too many people pushing the dial to far past and therefore losing its impact. IMHO
Interesting point-- realizing you aren't close to your family and regreting that fact, yet finding yourself unwilling to make a change to improve the situation...ask yourself why? Why aren't you looking for a stronger, more fullfilling relationship with your family? Why aren't you making it a priority? And wait for the answer. It is absolutely necessary to dig and wait for the answer. You will tell yourself the EXACT reason why.
