A Dangerous (But Effective) Strategy To Get Out Of A Rut

[@randomguy4638]

I love how Dan just stares into our souls in his thumbnails.

The #1 productivity 'hack' for me is focusing on high-leverage activities in high-energy periods. Track in which hours you have most energy for a week. Then identify the high-leverage activities. Do those activities in those high-energy periods. This is the only way of 'working smarter' that actually worked for me. It has drastically improved how much meaningful work I get done.

[@demonotizedinstantly]

Damn that is genius, there are times when I can do 12 hour programming sessions like it's nothing, but they are random lmao, when I'm further down the path I can use those moments for marketing and shit

[@philippmarzhauser2161]

Dan often makes the analogy to the Gym, now I do: Use High Energy Days to increase the weight more than usual. It would be a waste of energy not do that

[@subhamojha8323]

Hey Dan, Man, I've been deep-diving into your content lately. Spent a good 3+ hours on your tweets alone and countless more on your KZbin channel. It's been a wild ride, and I've got to say, you've been like a guiding star for me. I am so grateful for finding you out! I've been wrestling with this whole "niche" thing for ages, almost burnt myself out over it. But your content? It's like you were speaking directly to me. It hit me - I've been the niche I've been searching for all along. You just made it so clear to me. Big thanks for all the value you're putting out there. You have motivated me to put out my first pieces on Twitter.

[@Christoph_Walks]

He helped me find mine too. I wasn’t sure but as I went and rewatched all of his videos oldest to newest (80% done 😂) it became super clear.

[@DanKoeTalks]

Who woulda thought Twitter could technically be a long form platform haha. Glad it helped brother. Thank you for investing time into my writing. Truly hope it’s helped🙏

[@eladbari]

​@@Christoph_Walks I'm still trying to understand if niching down means "picking one thing", or choosing a few things/genres and mixing them together (even though each element could be a niche by itself). Did you understand that part?

Life is like going to the gym. When it’s time to go, resistance reminds you how heavy the weights are. When you’re finishing the set, determination reminds you that you CAN do this.

[@Marlonorellana]

5:41 I can’t believe you put this out today. I was literally came to that realization yesterday. I felt stuck in my life. Came to the conclusion I fear responsibility. I have a house but I house hack so the tenants are paying the rent. I am comfortable with the clients I currently have. Nervous to take on more because I’m worried about the responsibility it comes with to help with their marketing. Damn this video hits me deep

[@Amoltolbande]

Every video you post it shows how much depth of thought you have gone through it..

[@chefit_jenny]

Wow! listening to your story of pushing yourself is like telling someone about my life. People don’t understand and always ask me why I force myself to change and get out of my comfort zone. I have changed career paths, I have moved country, I have changed my eating habits, I have isolated myself to do what feels right for me. People think I’m weird, I couldn’t imagine living a life considered average or normal. Learning and growing does not fit the ‘usual’ routine.

[@ijaz8888]

This resonates with me too - I've also changed job/country/industry few years back , and now focusing on my health/nutrition as I get older

[@alkistisTV]

I agree, I did that when I was young: from Montreal, moved to Athens, then London, then Paris, then Rome , then Berlin...The moving gets you motivated and you learn really fast. I think it's good when you're a younger person. Before marriage. Now I live in Greece by the sea and am very comfortable and no longer want to move around. I love waking up and swimming in the sea and swim again around sunset. I run my coaching business online however.

[@yuliazaka9839]

Hi ! I am also from Montreal, and think it’s best to move around while I am young. Currently, considering moving to Australia! Do you have any tips? :)

[@jojoqueenofswords932]

So good to hear this. I did this all last week 4am, 5am starts to get orders to customers. My family thought I was nuts! They were like ‘your supposed to do the work first before you advertise’ but I got through, got paid and feel great!

[@EarthyAngel]

I am not your normal audience being almost 60 and on my 8th year living off grid. It is a completely different lifestyle but it challenges me everyday. I see people driving to a off grid location and parking a RV and they never build anything because they have a roof over their head. I came here and lived in a tent until my place was built. Sleeping under an open tent where rattlesnakes and the weather have access is a huge motivation.

[@eladbari]

Guess it's an insane boost of freedom to get off grid. Only thing is - I guess it's where you have to say goodbye to many human connections that won't be able to communicate with the new you. It's solitude I guess. Yet, in today's ZOOM meeting society...maybe it's already solitude within the grid and just an imaginary togetherness...

[@FOURTEEFIVE]

​@@eladbariin what way is it more freedom than an RV?

The greater the automated income you can build, the freer you will become. Taking the first step is the hardest, but 5 houses later living off automated income since July 6, 2016. You've got to start taking steps to achieve your goal.

I couldn't agree more. Taking charge of your life and putting in the hard work is the path to success. Having a portfolio manager like Mr. Samuel Peter Descovich is a game-changer. Their expertise and guidance can truly transform your financial journey. Making $35,000 in profits each month and saving 70% of that is quite impressive!They save you time and provide valuable insights that lead to impressive profits. Keep up the amazing work, and enjoy the fruits of your labor..

[@RandalHebert]

As the economic crisis keep rising, one needs to have different streams of income, a well detailed diversified investment portfolio in the financial markets is needed to survive, as well as secure a profitable investment future, Thanks so much Mr Samuel Peter Descovich for improving my portfolio

Fantastic!! The part on regrets is to me more in the wisdom building category in my life journey. So it’s kind of entertaining when I get the question on what regrets do I have. I just stare I’ve been blessed with no regrets only wisdom moments. You have many outstanding points as always.

[@andydataguy]

I just quit my job. Last day is Oct31. Spending my part-time spec'ing out my personal brand and upcoming offers. Got a 3-4 month runway when I leave, a $5k bag for investing, and a warm list of 300 contacts made at events over the years. Am a nomad living in the Phils. Will be smashing through your course to finally become a content creator and build an agency 🔥 This video resonated with me. Glad to see the stories of other crazy ones in the comments 👏🏾🚀

[@askfroxy]

Just realized I’ve put myself in “tactical stress” (there’s a name for it!) the last few days. I’m technically a “senior” but coming out of a long period of intense caretaking where I had to back burner my biz goals to the point of near collapse (financially and physically). So it’s definitely do or die and I’m reinventing myself and my approach to creating a biz as the niche (that was a huge relief-the “find your niche “ convo was keeping me stuck and frustrated for years!). And yes, the best, catapulting decisions of my life were scary and made me look reckless and crazy! Thank you for your refreshing “straight talk” approach. Your razor-sharp revelations put context to vague impressions I’ve gained and confirm I’m on the right track (which is the road less traveled by most)! Thanks for sharing your unique genius-a great inspiration!

[@JTDawg]

This hit me at a perfect time. I quit my job knowing I would feel scared and Shitty in order to motivate me to start my online business. I cried and I want the job back, I called myself stupid so many times. And on all levels it was stupid I could’ve started the business and kept my job. But the one thing that doesn’t make it stupid was my reason for it. So it leaves me no other option other than to WORK.

[@nikkiijoiner]

I’m in this exact situation. I’m scared but also so excited again. I wish you all the best and can’t wait to see what happens a year from now 🥹

I'm writing my first storybook, and I mean to purchase digital economics as soon as I can. I have other ideas that I'm working on, and I believe your systems will provide a lot of the necessary knowledge that I need to make these work. I've been watching your videos for a little over a year and was immediately enthralled with your thought process and how much sense you're making.

When the road looks difficult now I get pumped and more energised. Thanks from a big fan of 57

I completely vibed with the “matte black so it’s on brand” and also with the bio hacker stuff. It just seems like so many things to add to the routine that you wonder how much of a boost it’s making. Eat healthy. Exercise. Get sunlight. Be around people. Seems easier to stick to the fundamentals.

This is a pretty good video, I like how your advice is very non-mainstream and practical. Best point for me was that the best decisions you make in life often are the ones that people ridicule. Pretty powerful and relatable in my life, starting my blog for example. Keep up the good work.

[@junowood5951]

I think this knowing everything around you after 6 months and feeling like you want to move really comes from a consumer mindset. If you'd have the same producer mindset in physical world as you have in digital you would start looking into how you can take part in society by for example volunteering and becoming a part of a community. OR if you bought a house you can start scape a garden and grow vegetables. you dont need change of location to push yourself out of your comfort zone and explore new terriroty

I’m struggling with this now because before I got Covid I thrived on deadlines, getting them done and the productive stress was helping me have feelings of wellbeing and purpose . But my cognition has changed since getting Covid, stress now affects my emotional wellbeing to the point where I procrastinate and it doesn’t connect to me anymore. It’s like I want to reach maximum productivity and I don’t know what I need to do to influence my drive anymore . I meditate daily I workout I do everything I need to do and haven’t figured it out yet . I’m just letting myself be guided by god at this point .

[@nilxnull]

I'm getting bored of my job and these ideas really resonate with me. But with the 2nd kid on the way, don't really have the courage to take a leap of faith. I'm kind of slowly building up to it, and these videos help. My take on a couple of points: 4 - material things - I usually like to avoid buying unnecessary things but I was on a 2 month craze into watches and I bought a relatively expensive watch. One of the reasons was that I like the craftsmanship and wanted to experience something luxurious. The other thing ties to self image - being able to afford nice things and proving to yourself that you can earn that, but also being able to present yourself with higher value. It might seem shallow but it's a confidence booster. 5 - degeneracy - I would say there are some mind altering substances like LSD and psilocybin mushrooms which can boost creativity and open the mind, even change the course of a life. Many in silicon valley consumed psychedelics. Also going out helps you to reset, get out of a rut and get a "surge of energy".

[@kristopherryanwatson]

Off the cuff * anyway. another fantastic video by the one and only Dan Koe. great stuff in this one. love it.

[@mehmetuygur2412]

tactical stress tactics: 1-launching a product before building it. -- accept preorders, set a launch date, promoting, force your business to grow 2-location hopping (move when feel comfortable) -- throw yourself to unknown, job hop, walk the new paths, 3-invest in education --monetize what we enjoy learning, spend money on education, so you will end up starting 4-material items (spend money on good shape, education, dress, location) 5-degeneracy (maybe you need to let loose, go sleep) 6- emotional transmutation (allowing yourself to feeling bad, regret -> ''I am gonna change''), 7- pain of where you are must overweight the pain of what other people say about you -- thinking holistically in individual situations -- digital economics, two hour writer

I've always been the ambitious type but this year has been different and I don't like it at all
