One of the best and most honest slap to the face I have had regarding my career.

[@DaddyDiesel123]

I built out sprinter vans out of necessity, sold them for a duplex with unfinished basement. Built out basement, now rent of basement covers mortgage. (All practical skills learnt through KZbin) When I sell my final van. I’ll try to grow an audience based on interests. Mobility / longevity course, more so to develop all skills required. Great video

[@CessWanja]

when I get notified of your videos I get a pen and a notebook 'cause I know its learning time. Your content is changing lives keep doing it .

[@brandonguzzardo3010]

Bro, your content is so on point. The way you outline the actual thought process and mental states needed to be successful at anything is genius. I couldn't agree with your thought process more. Most people live a life of complacency and they hate it, yet love it. They would rather live a life of lies and convice themselves that they are doing "ok". It is really hard to look inside one's self and actually be honest with what you find. Sadly, most people have no problem judging others and ridiculing them for doing something they deem inferior, yet they themselves do that same thing regularly, but they won't ever see it, or admit it. That is why the competition for success really isn't that high. Very few people will ever take the action needed to grow beyond the masses. And even fewer will take those actions consistently until their goals are achieved.

Just quit my corporate job after seven years! Is time to close this circle! I love your content and I bought your book too! Thank you for sharing, you are very inspiring! I wish you all the best on your journey❤

[@Thenaturefairy7]

Thank you Dan -- I have no words to express the amount of positive change and guidance you have brought to my journey towards freedom. I spent most of my life suffering and in pain although it wasn't necessary. The reason why I wasn't able to find some relief came from the lack of emotional awareness I had and understanding of who I was. I dedicated the last years to getting to know myself, my needs, dreams and desires and teaching people what physical, mental and emotional health looks and feels like. I am finally launching my course where I teach the foundation of my approach to bring other people some relief too :)

[@chefit_jenny]

I have 2 professions. I'm an English teacher and a chef. I'm going to build learning platforms. I've been a freelancer for 12 years and have helped lots of people but it is time to move from client work to online products and services. Online lessons are really popular now but I am going to improve the quality of the process having a mix of both life and pre-recorded lessons. As a chef I managed to lose 40 pounds through eating the right meals and exercise but people still think healthy meals are boring, chefs are fat and healthy eating is expensive. I have learnt through experience that is so wrong! I can teach people how to make great meals, not feeling guilty and enjoying food the way I have done. I am going to write books, create podcasts for education, guide people through their healthier life process. Thank you for your content Dan! I relate a lot!

I rarely comment on someone's video. Dan, you made me to watch your whole video even I realized that it was your art of persuading. Why shouldn't I watch it complete, at the end you were adding some great value.

[@femmeglow.conscious]

Thank you for the value you provide with your videos. I really resonate with your mindset. In 2023 I opened my dance studio and also started an ecommerce business. Currently i'm writing a book and working on my businesses. I don't make a lot of money but the happiness which comes from creating art as a dance choreographer and teaching others to dance is amazing! This was one of the best decisions at the end of my 20s. I regret not starting this journey earlier. But i had a lack of confidence and self-worth. It took around 7-8 years to recover from very low self-esteem and the childhood traumas it derived from.

[@FilipMacioszek]

I wrote two books in last 7 years, produced multiple albums and eps, made countless music videos with art I found online/AI, created a full course for 2 years of college English focused on attaining skillset, started DJing worldwide and locally, hit the gym consistently and made proper gains, created my own website ... the list goes on, but I still struggle to find audience for my products/knowledge/coaching. Anyway, keep pushing and something will eventually blow up. Thanks for the video Dan.

[@FilipMacioszek]

@@Nafzehtram I tried some marketing here and there before but it never really "clicked" and I just left promoting those projects and focused on myself even more instead of chasing attention. You know the feeling when you try something and it just doesn't work AT ALL? I work a lot on my projects and products but hate the idea of pushing it into people's brains. I know that's the point of marketing, but it makes me sick. If nobody in my vicinity finds whatever I am doing inspirational enough to support me, I just treat it as a sign of not doing enough. Every time I tried to reach out to people they ignored my messages or were not interested. Don't know what else I could do man.

[@anophase]

​@@FilipMacioszek​ as he says in the video, our products don't have value if we don't learn the ways to put our work out. I won't pry but have another look at your marketing technique and see what you can do 1% better.

[@-trisld-]

One thing I would add, after reading some comments, is to hybridize. If you are a person lacking a big/clear enough vision to go 100% with this man's way (which is brilliant), one can hold down a job to survive while sprouting new dreams. If one vision surfaces and you feel ready to leap, go full time with your vision. But if not, at least have a good portion of your time and thought flowing towards your vision. This is why people have hobbies. The difference is that the hybridized plan I'm positing is bigger, deeper than a hobby. Not everyone has a life free of obligations. Still, many of the points made in this video could be very useful in other, similar objectives.

[@Kyle-pr]

Built a Discord fitness community, still growing. Followed by constant and consistent education, implementation of said education and continued development of my community. Dabbled and currently dabbling in the use of AI tools, no code tools, newsletter services, X and Substack writing, graphic design(to a point), landing page design, and more.. Currently trying to further understand AIDA(attention, interest, desire & action) PAS(problem, agitation & solution) alongside other writing techniques and their unique implementation into my writing overall. Also trying to educate myself on lead generation tactics and many more related things. Looking to inevitably start my own coaching service(I'm a certified PT w/ A LOT of self-education under my belt - the constant consumption of content is real 😅) and hopefully look to make enough $ where I can eventually quit my 9-5, freeing up more time for what I'm actually INTERESTED in doing.

Awesome video. I think what most rich people have in common is that they are ready to work and think hard, and to take some calculated risks. I used to be very lazy but this year I decided to take some initiative in my life and start dropshipping. After seven months I can say it was the best decision of my life. What helped me the most was using product search tools (My favorite one is using a little bit of winnerzila for their weekly product suggestions). Last month I had close to $14k profit. I am not yet a millionaire, but I will be there one day.

Not sure how to market something like this but I will continue to build and see where it leads! Any other performers out there have success in promoting your work?

[@nothinginteresting1662]

As someone who works a job, I hate it when the only 'value' I create is making money for my employer. I have been searching for purposeful employment- where I can see clearly that my work builds a better world. Guess I have to become an entrepreneur that does so...

[@ddfelder2]

Go forth and create…. We’re in the same boat my friend.

[@adamspeaking373]

First of all, you create value all the time. Not just at work. Whenever you do anything that someone else cares about, or appreciates, you're adding value. Secondly, no matter what you do you will have to create value for other people in order receiving anything of value back. Typically we think of value in terms of "money." If you quit your job today and became a freelancer you would still have to create value for your employers (your clients), which usually means doing something for them that will help them earn money by providing value for someone else. There's no escaping this. Even if you're just an investor who invests in companies and makes money from the returns on this investment you are still providing value. The value IS the investment that allows that company to, in turn, provide value to others and thus earn a return form which they pay you your return on your investment. EVERYTHING is about doing something valuable for someone else and getting something valuable in return. You'll never escape this, and you shouldn't try to. Entrepreneurs understand this fact, and embrace it wholeheartedly. Their customers, and clients, ARE their employers, and they have to create value for them in order to receive anything of value in return. I suggest changing your negative perspective. Making money for other people is EXACTLY how you make money for yourself. Regardless of who pays you. It's just value for value. That's life.

[@anab0lic]

this is what's known in marxism as alienation from your work. Its honestly the root causes of most mens unhappiness in society.

[@alecluna5341]

If you are an employee you are still creating value, only you are 1 part of the process of whatever value your employer is giving the world. The idea is that you have to learn every part of the process not just 1. Changing this mindset helped me get started. Wish you luck

I really want to hear ur opinion

[@shaunconyers]

First, test the idea with an MVP or demo app. If the results are good, and testers find is valuable, only then begin to think about developing the final product!

Dan, question… is it a better idea to start as a generalist creator, or if one has a product fleshed out, start as an “expert” creator and focus on the product to grab attention and begin marketing with a direct focus on the product?

📌 Entrepreneurship is your path to freedom But not without obstacles When starting out You’ll be optimistic You’ll be full of excitement You’ll love everyone minute of it This feeling though will be fleeting… That’s when the challenge begins And it going to get hard. You’ll question If you have what it takes If you made the right choice If you’ll be able to make it And question giving up 100’s of times.

Most people think working at a salary job will make them rich after getting a 4 year degree they pay of there loans and buy a house and spend there life paying that off . Most wealthy people don’t go to college or if they do go to college do an apprenticeship and after get work in there field and after getting some experience and knowledge. They start there own business recruiting the right people . Rich people aren’t more smarter they just know how to net work with people and different businesses work. If more kids were taught to learn. Different things , idea brain storming , how to network ex ex how to pitch a business idea the world would look more different. Or how money really works . Most people are really bad with money. Just learning how money works they would be better off.
