If you listen to this interview with contempt and jealousy, versus being amazed and inspired, then you need to check yourself. I'm 31 years old, without any significant possessions or great habits, but I'm trying to change my perspective. These days, I appreciate successful people and their achievements, and use them as a small "boost" to correct my life and get *started*. I've always had big ideas in my head, but my problem is not implementing them due to idiotic excuses. A few things I will promise myself to do after watching this (starting small): 1. read a book within 1-2 weeks 2. write down my ideas & organize my plans 3. stop making excuses and start something, even if I will fail 4. spend a designated period on reflecting on myself and progress, favorably with a nice coffee and pipe If you've read this far, I hope you do something now to begin evolving yourself and people around you. Sorry if it was a bit of a ramble, this comment is mainly for myself to kick myself a little :)

[@Alanislynx]

I'm 19 and having the same mindset roadblocks, brilliant ideas, even more brilliant excuses and I can already see some bad patterns happening. I'm slowly learning that everything you need to be successful is already in you. Your comment is insightful and inspired me, I'm rooting for you!

[@sofmarsofmar]

@@Alanislynx I'm also 19 and I love both of your comments. I think it is beautiful that you took time to reflect what you got out of this video, and even if it's the little things, make changes for the better. I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with my life, but videos like this point me a little further in the right direction.

[@annanavenicka9688]

Completely agree. Nowadays the only thing people should excel in is to collect and rewire their mind, and then it will be easier to do whatever that brings you to success. Keep going, friend ! :)

[@KhairulShahdanQarthLael]

Profoundly agree, self awareness at its best. I used to be that kind person, Blaming fate and lack of money, but i did reality check upon myself and finally got in good terms with my ego. Knowing where i'm lack at makes me humble and widen my perspectives and instead of being jealous and intimidated, i now feel more inspired and determined. This video, i take it as a boost whenever i feel disappointed of myself.

Summary Iman Gazhi, born in a very poor village in Russia, single mother , father was an alcoholic abusive by the age of 4 he moved to London with his wealthy step dad. He started to realise that by the age of 9 he had to become the man of the house and take care of his mum. At the age of 14 he started to read, reading a book a week, and meditate. Essentially stacking positive habits, he then started his first business, flipping Instagram accounts. He then at the age of 15, started his coaching fitness business he started pitching his friend’s parents. He did all that by reading a book about being a trainer. He got his first retainer client doing a soccer teams insta acc, then he got his first serious client 8 months later which was athlete.

[@brisvanhal9969]

ree Im asking because he grew up in Russia and England. So I’m trying to see where the American accent came from

[@NoraLabs]

@@TheDestineyy speaking for myself (a german girl that never spoke to native english speakers until she was 19 years old) I've been told countless of times that I have no german accent at all. Mostly people think of a mixture between american, australian and south african. At least that's what I've been told. I disliked english in school and have to admit that I learned spoken english and pronounciation through videogames and their english dubbing. (No german voicover was available so I settled for german subbing with the english voices.) After growing fond of the sound I started to watch movies in their original so I'd say that your intake matters a lot. You adapt sounds and sayings super fast. Depending on whom he was around and how many podcasts or videos or shows he's heard/watched; you find your way to whatever accent suits you best.

I'd just look around the genre of videogame you like most and see if there's any games that have spoken dialoge~ Hope that helped.
