I’m 38 years old, I own my own business, and I have never been able to manage my negative emotions until I started watching your videos. When I feel something bubble up, I instantly tell myself it’s just a feeling and I’m able to move forward I finally feel like I have control over my emotions and I wanna thank you for that!

[@Mary-Mar]

Same!! 42 years old here. It's never too late. :)

[@ricardojaramillo1895]

28 years old , grateful as well

[@erinbrittneypatrick]

38 here. She’s changed my life too. I’m so grateful for Leila

[@laratenhoorn899]

Same!!! 39, running my own business and want to give up when I get caught in my own negative thinking loops. These videos help so much!!

[@purplepopnotaryshop]

Seeing your comment is inspiring. I'm just starting a business and I'm in panic mode 24/7. Constantly wondering if I'm doing the right thing. Is it going to work? 😬😩

[@nattyrocberry]

Does anyone else listen to her videos 2,3x just to make sure they process 🤗

[@user-uj1sg2em9u]

Leila, I'm 23 years old, $100k in business debt, about to file a bankruptcy. I feel so desperate, doubting myself EVERY SINGLE DAY in the past 3 months since I closed down my previous business, wanted to quit, but I chose to get back up and start another business that require little capital, work on the business at day, Uber at night, 16 hours/day in the past 2 months, use Alex's 2 books as my bible. I don't know what's going to happen but seeing this video gives me strength. Thank you.❤

[@BurnE5474]

One more day everyday! Just keep going!!

[@destinationawaken]

Keep going , the fact that you are doing all of this is a testament to your strength and resilience. We are rooting for you. We see you star , every day is a new day ❤

[@svenja_goldmann]

Keep pushing. I'm sending you strength and resilience

[@Lala-xq1ek]

God bless you ❤

[@rethabilenxumalo9742]

Keep going, you're gonna make it! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@leadgenjay]

The value you're offering for free is incredible, and it's refreshing to see someone so successful give back like this.

[@liannevalle]

I know that this is advice for entrepreneurs but this applies to literally EVERYTHING across the board - healing from chronic illness, toxic relationships, etc. - it works for all. "Accept that it's going to feel awful and hard but you're not going to die". TRUE. Leila is a force of nature.

[@leilaniaileenlove]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@biaao11]

I love you, Leila! I am 26 years old, and I left my corporate job 3 years ago to provide graphic design services for marketers. Since then, I have experienced a rollercoaster of emotions that were sometimes overwhelming, but I never considered giving up. My goal has always been to make money online and live a rich life, and I am grateful to have found you as my mentor on the internet. Your videos have helped me stay accountable for myself and my business. I recently had a tough time, and watching your videos and Alex's was crucial to getting me out of my emotions and taking massive actions. These massive actions resulted in excellent results, and I'm living my rich life! I used to focus too much on my feelings until I finally found you! Thank you for being you and being such an inspiration, THANK YOU! I am confident I will meet you in person one day to express my gratitude. I love you!

[@danishadavis1614]

I have never seen someone mirror my life soo much. We have went through some similar situations & lessons learned. You’re truly an inspiration and one of my Top 5 Internet Advisors. 😇

[@matizieu]

Thank you. This was a revelation. I'm 34 years old and started my own law firm five months ago after a very successful and secure seven-year career, with a goal of doing good in the world. This was such a validating gift. You literally just helped me realize that months of frustration, venting, dumping, and feeling like an inadequate failure (and also taking cry showers too) was... normal. Whoa. As someone in the middle of the bottom part of the sign curve of entrepreneurship (you checked down my list of experiences with stunning precision), this just flipped the script on my assessment of where I'm at and how well we're doing. Thank you for tearing down the script that says "let's not talk about how hard this is." You are achieving your goal of making a difference. I look forward to paying it forward.

[@pametarium2341]

you are brave

[@destinationawaken]

The cry showers … I thought I was only one who did that ❤

[@majagorsic]

Thank you for leaving in the part when you tear up. You literally showed how it looks like to have feelings and still keep showing up and recording the video. Walking the walk, respect queen!

[@clarkl4177]

🙋🏻‍♀️ Fellow "Hider" here...sigh. Thanks for being vulnerable, it's so encouraging, challenging and convicting.

[@TBlissMelodies]

Thank you for your words. I feel completely invisible to the world. And I'm starting to give up hope. I have failed miserably at trying to build a business that will just keep my family and I feed. I'm trying to do this while battling with my body and recoverng from stage 4 Thymoma cancer and recent hysterectomy over the past 18 months. But I can't slow down. I have to push through everything regardless of what I'm dealing with. Starting over isn't easy...nobody said it would be, but I'll try to keep pushing forward. One day my prayers will be heard and answered.

[@TBlissMelodies]

I have to give an update. I know it's only been 2 hours since I commented, but after I had a good cry and chilled out for a couple of hours. My community on FB started blowing up. I know it's not huge, but 5 people joined my group and asking for cold calling tips and being so thankful for my content. It was the little boost I needed to keep going. God does listen.

[@rethabilenxumalo9742]

Wow, God really does listen, be encouraged and keep on!!

[@phumisibeko]

You're content has gotten me out of a depressive state after losing my mom two months ago! Thank you so much!!

[@user-wg6im5th7r]

Its very rare to see someone so successful be willing to show there vulnerability= power. Go Team Leila

[@PinaColada65]

I came across this video at the correct time. I was feeling like not getting anywhere fast enough and seeing people on social media having fun ,doing work and achieving success made me second guess my working routine. after watching your video, I think they are just better at hiding their bad seasons. I also related with the mismamaged care. I always used to ask why did my past self felt anxious for almost everything in my life. turns out I deeply cared about all the things and needed to select the things I was going to focus majorly on. Thank you for sharing your valuable experiences. I always learn so much from you. I hope you get everything you wish for and more.

[@user-rl4gj4jr2k]

Leila, this was so timely! I felt SO discouraged, and this just popped on my feed. That's exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you, Leila, you're amazing!❤

[@angexkimm]

Thank you for being so honest about this topic. It's not emphasized enough that running a business is HARD and running a successful one is HARDER. Your content is something I consume on a daily basis because it's the only thing I can truly resonate with! It's not all about the fancy cars and penthouses-it's the value you provide and the evidence that you are who you say you are, and do what you say you can do. Needed this.

[@beehavenflowerfarm]

"The curse of care".... I could never put words to my frustrations and I think you just did for me. Maybe now I can better understand the root of my feelings, and be logical about the reality.

[@nicolefisher8124]

Its such a relief to have someone be SO HONEST about how HARD and AWFUL it can be to be a leader & business owner. I feel so alone sometimes and this is comforting to know that none of us are immune to the emotional struggles of the immense weight it is to wear all the hats and take the biggest risks- not only financially but with our hearts for putting our love and effort into the people we hire who don’t always reciprocate that love and effort. Thank you.

[@crapione]

I've "known" and deeply respected and thought really highly of Alex for a while. This is the first video that I watched of Leila's and six minutes into it just clicked for me the reason these two are such a great team. You are really remarkable Leila, in a way you are very similar to Alex and acknowledge the same concepts but you add to it an emotional side that is just yours and makes your delivery really effective.

[@TiffanyKuo-ps5fc]

All good advice can be taken with a grain of salt. I have found that the best way is to combine opposing perspectives to find balance. For example, I agree with her except that sometimes we cannot tell people what we need from them because if they are narcissists they will purposely deprive us and, all around, they take any information we give them and use it against us. Also, It is actually healthy to share emotional empathy, to a healthy extent and when and where appropriate, with people who are going thru extenuating circumstances. This is not enabling. It is human. I totally get her point. It's good to find a balance and different people have different approaches that are all good in their own way, and so it's good to have diverse friends.

[@OnlinewithMathuto]

I'm not crazy. Thank you Leila. ❤

[@nickpontoski]

One of the cameras has a dead white pixel in the middle left of the frame that’s consistent across a lot of these videos. And this video has the orange Adobe Warp Stabilization bar pop up. But this video and all Leila’s videos are super amazing because she talks about the hard parts of running a business, unlike most. Super helpful.

[@SianaSF]

Great Value!! Our company is over a decade old, without a team and zero marketing. My partner does not want ot hire anyone, but I see us scaling with only with the right people in place and good marketing. We are on the verge of launching 7 new biometric safety models, I'm in a panic, because I have to spread myself even thinner. How does one hire for a moving train without a budget for expansion? I'm thinking of an Internship to hire a model. Need a mentor and psychiatrist some times:-) GREAT, AMAZING VALUE. I needed it so much. Thank you, Leila!

[@aylanelson1012]

Thank you for pushing such inspiring content and giving others the strength to pursue their goals!

[@185Marlena]

Hi Leila I found your videos today I strongly believe it wasnt just a coincidence I really needed to hear what you have to say …I see myself in you and I really need strength right now to keep going so I simply wanted to thank you ❤ thank you Leila ❤️

[@jackieferrarimusic]

Thank you for this reminder. Really needed this today.

[@unhingedravenclaw]

This came just at the right time. After making BIG changes to bet on yourself, to keep on going after what you truly want, it just feels so scary. Hearing someone who has been through it is so incredibly soothing. It's okay. It feels hard, but it's just a part of the road. You can do this. The feeling will pass. Trust yourself. Trust your path. You're only feeling this way because you've made the brave choice to go after it. If you had stayed comfortable, you probably wouldn't have to go through all that hard stuff.

[@Donion333]

You’re aligned I needed this now

[@ElieBeth___]

Leila thank you thank you thank you. Thank you. I’m starting a business. Approx 4-5 months in. Lots of personal shit going on. I’m doing this almost completely alone with no one really to guide me. I don’t come from money or a family of entrepreneurs or business people but decided to do this for my future. So I’m completely out of my comfort zone. I’ve wanted to quit so many times but I really want this. I’d continue on without your channel but god almighty I’m SO grateful you created your channel. It’s like I have a mentor and friend. You get it and hit on every insecurity I have. I’ll keep going past the shame, fear, embarrassment, rejection.

[@sandiashinecollc2665]

Something I've been thinking about is that I'm stoked to meet future me 5, 10, 20+ years down the road. When things are tough, which they are literally every n I feel like quiting. However, I just remind myself that I am currently building the future me I'd like to meet and that is exciting.

[@food305]

Thank you Leila,i needed this

[@crhodesrealtor]

You are so stunning! I am inspired by you. I am currently dealing with "big girl" problems, but I will not be defeated. I can and I will overcome.

Best video you've done so far. Thank you for your generosity and thank you for caring

[@carolinax519]

This is so raw. Thank you Leila. Everything you mentioned in this video about the weight of responsibility of running a company is so true. Thank God you posted this, I related so hard to the comment about going to cry in the shower. Entrepreneurship is extremely difficult.

[@maddyG7414]

You and your videos are a true gem. Thank you for being real.

[@AbcDef-tz3gu]

Omg! I needed to hear this Thanks for your vulnerability and candour

[@sashini11]

I really felt this one, Leila, and appreciate your realness. For the critical thinkers, hard workers and high-functioning performers, those who feel everybody's weight on our back, who struggle and cry in silence, and feel unappreciated at times - thank you for your strength, your vision, and your resilience. I pray for Divine grace, counsel and wisdom to the leaders who persevere against all odds to be the positive change in this world.

[@loxygirl6971]

Thank you 🙏🏼 Needed to hear this! Hope you're ok 🙂

[@suzannedambrosio1030]

Thank you. I need this today. I’m in those feelings now.

[@lizzi437]

“The Curse of Care” Yeah, I cared so much at a previous job that some people thought I was a partner. That meant I had to go.

[@laurenpantellere2560]

Thank you for all of your advice and knowledge Leila.

[@sezaiburakkantarci]

No matter what you see in the comments Leila, whatever mean or cruel thing people say (to hide behind their fears), I just want to let you know that you are making a difference. You are inspiring people from all around the world. What you do is a divine act. And I am grateful to think with you. Let's keep fighting.

[@samanthagirly3350]

[@coltonkosto98]

Thank you Leila. You and Alex are truly doing the world a service

[@sajan__jacob]

Thank you for sharing about this. This is so timely for me - i for sure need to work on asking for help and articulating clearly what that help looks like directly to people. 🙏

[@yoericktv9610]

Thanks Leila, I appreciate this video so so much.

[@thesalesgrowthcoach]

This is real life! One of the most amazing videos I've ever watched. Thank you - this is for me today for sure.

[@Sariimura]

THANK YOU!

[@precioushelekahi5743]

I find it completely crazy how I can relate to literally everything that you say about emotions, about my feelings, about how the natural reaction when angry to hurt the people around you who just want to support you... All I want to say is thank you for your content, thank you for making these videos real and valuable. And I hope you keep creating more content like this because it definitely touched me and I hope its touching those who need it as well -Much love ☺

[@nwunnoticewhatyounotice6136]

WOW fabulous naming, and THANK YOU for sharing this, because I'm seeing this is where I have been (@6:57 and my paraphrasing): people who are more willing to be with the uncomfortable feelings that come up when we want to do something but haven't (and then helps us to procrastinate, learn more, get more info, etc) are the ones that 'succeed' - doing what they want to do - even tho it's more than likely SUPER uncomfortable at first! Knowing it's something SO many people go through during these personal life 'growth spurts' makes it so helpful to lift at least half of that uncomfortable feeling ('cuz I haven't done it yet') right off the bat. And like you say, it totally makes sense, considering we haven't done it before. Edit: So many other things you shared - fabulous, esp related to the language we use!

[@mattng4707]

Thank u ..I'm older than you and this video is so timely thank you young warrior, I find fitness easy but business is a whole different game

[@ML-dq2hq]

Thank you, Leila. I’m going through one of the hardest periods I’ve ever had in business, and also dealing with the aftermath of abusive relationship that has cost time, money, and relationships. I really appreciate you sharing your insights. Caring someone speak candidly about things that are difficult. It’s hard to come by, but it’s so necessary.

[@MartinCordova21]

Loved every single word 🌹.. Thank you so much for sharing.. 🔥🔥🔥

[@catlovecake]

Layah, you are my role model. I am so blessed to have a chance to see you at the right time.

[@vermilka]

Thank you, Leila

[@ItsEltonSilvi]

Thanks for creating this video. It was way too timely. I went through my first public failure(ish) 2 days ago and I'm still going. Your video made me realize I'm not alone and sitting in the shower last night happens to others too 😅 Something I exercise is belief. I'll be adding evidence stacking to it too
