While all 10 business secrets shared are extremely helpful, I found that two of them stuck out to me. "Embracing your obsession" and "having conviction in something for a decade or longer", are the two that demonstrate the importance of consistency, endurance, determination and delayed gratification which are all incredible indicators of success. "If you simply have conviction about something for more than a decade you outlast 99% of your competition". Love this, happy to have these secrets in my back pocket!

These 10 secrets, helpes me to stay the course. I had retired from working in public health for 20yrs. And I began working for a non profit housing development coorporation and ran across you online and started following yoy . Then I evemtually invested in backstage and then runner, i was so impressed by you and your story that, I started telling everyone I knew about the great vision you had and how you were helping so many people. Long story short because of all the information that you have shared with me , I decided last year to start my own buisness as a coach for those who I serve in low income communities already with starting or expanding there new buisness . So thses videos you share with me helps me grow my coaching practice. I have been helping 20 small new companies for free in order to get the experinece and testimonials before I actually launch in the Fall. So thank you for helping me discover my next new journey

Listening to this while working is so motivating because I realize I've adopted a lot of what you said already! From reading to standing firm on beliefs/values (+ sharing them), it all just resonated. To know that you've built an authentic, relatable and integrity-based empire with these in mind is so empowering. Especially the part about being black, a woman and LGBTQ+. I used to be afraid to say, "yes I teach black women how to create their dream lives with their 9-5 incomes" because I would consistently hear, "well, what about everyone else? You're leaving money on the table." My response is always that there are tons of certified financial educators out there who talk about personal finance all day. But no one has dedicated a safe space for black women. Our lives, needs, challenges, desires etc. are unique. I needed that on my own journey and now I am fulfilling/building that bigger need. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Arlan!

Arlin you have officially become my bestes hero. I watched this video before the estate agent pitched up at my house, to tell my that the properties in my area, still only sell for what I paid for my house 13 years ago. Then I watch the beginning and end of this clip again, and I'm like 'Arlin's All Access.' I'm done being strong-armed into selling myself short.

I’ve been watching your vids for maybe a month now. Between you, Myron Golden, and a few others m my mind is bursting with wisdom! I’m having trouble recalling it all! So I have decided to start journaling and taking notes. I bought a couple pretty notebooks, and I just took two solid pages of notes from this video. Thank you! I’ve said this before, but your calm delivery is just what I need to quietly believe I can do this. The hyper teachers just make me anxious, and I doubt I can do what they teach. I am obsessed with butterfly conservation, native wildflowers, and heritage/heirloom flowers. Not exactly hyper topics. Definitely passionate, though! I’m building a flower farm that will enchant the senses, engage the heart and mind in pollinator conservation, and equip people to make sustainable changes in their own environments that will support pollinators and biodiversity. I think your words about everything aligning with the big picture are profound. There are a million directions I could go, but I’m a teacher. So simplifying the complex is what I do. Teaching people to observe and understand their ecosystems, showing them how to attract monarchs, and assisting them to build pollinator habitats are my obsessions. I’m already well past my decade of obsession, although I’ve only been earning money off of this for a couple of years. Thank you again. Your videos feel like we’re chatting over tea and you really care about my farm. May God bless you!

Arlan, this was fantastic. Like many have noted, framing these tips through the lens of financial success was pivotal for me. Speaking specifically about the obsession, can you do more content or a video about what your research program looked like and what interviewing your subjects entailed, what kinds of questions you asked, etc.? I need help in deciphering the “how” of your research. Thanks again.

Okay. I know this isn't on topic, but I knew there was something that drew me to you besides the obvious. I went to Law School at TSU. You're a Houston Woman (I hate calling women girls). I call north Texas home. Okay. Back to the video. With every video of yours I end up taking a copious amount of notes. I'm picking up what you're throwing out here. #10 ... Wheeew Wee! That's my pet peeve. I need to rethink how I view 'Repeating Myself'. In fact, I need to perfect how I repeat myself so that new person can get even more out of what I am saying than the last person who asked me that question. Maybe there are better tools and platforms to utilize, more comprehensive research done on the matter. I need to make answering a 'FAQ' valuable for that moment. Hence, not just an Everygreen type of answer. Thanks For Sharing! I'm off to your next video!!!

What comes to mind with Arlan's advice about spending a decade on an obsession is Malcolm Gladwell's 10,000 hours. It certainly works!
