Books are the training weights of the mind,” said Epictetus. For aspiring entrepreneurs, every page read is a step toward mastery. Choose wisely, for the ideas you consume shape your reality. Dive deep, learn continuously, and let these books be the foundation of your entrepreneurial journey
don't tell me you one of those ppl that quit their 6 figures 9-5 job to do youtube full time?
Thanks !
Atomic Habits is a classic👍🏻 P.S loved this vid!! :)
Loved your advice and other videos from your channel. Keep up the good work.
I never comment on TH-cam videos and the only time I did was when I was still at Big 3 consulting in Taiwan, had never felt so stuck in life, and saw a video by this guy who used to work at Bain and started enjoying life again after he left. You are absolutely amazing and when I saw your subscriber count I was just so surprised. Thank you for such an amazing content that fosters self-reflection and the reminders of some of the hard truths in life. It's people like you who are humble enough to share your stories of leaving jobs at prestigious companies that remind us - or at least me - that life is more than just a fancy career. I don't really subscribe to channels but I'm going to subscribe to yours, because I look forward to hearing more of your insights and be awesome like you! Thank you Chris for the inspiration on topics to reflect on for journaling tonight
Thank you for the kind words! Wishing you luck on your journey too!
Awesome video! All the examples were uncanny 😅 One of my struggles with overthinking is that despite knowing it's unhealthy, I can't help but be nervous letting it go. To some extent, I unconsciously attribute my personal growth to overthinking (I have a similar issue with people pleasing habits). So I'm scared that if I stop, I will regress. But that's why the last points really resonated with me. It's not overthinking as a whole that's bettered me. I just need to separate the "over" from the "thinking" by living in the present lol Yet another banger, Chris!
Thank you Adam!!
Sir can I have your business email please.
I have recently discovered your channel and I really enjoy your content. Very clear, helpful and straight to the point. I like it. Keep up the good work, I will continue watching
Thank you!
Strengths? I don't have any strength, I've been complimented on being kind, but that is not strength, nor a skill that could be useful for anything. Zone? Arguing, useless and unprofitable as well. Achievements? *ZERO* Career? Money? SIGH, how is it even possible? This is too much to overcome. Just too much.
Same problem 😕

Yes, overthinking consume too much energy of mine and I will try to follow your recommendations.
This is so me. I only knew I can made other feel good, but sometimes it's overwhelming 😅
Why is this is so underrated.? I loved this video❤️🎀✨

your mic holder is not average though 😂 loved your content ❤
Thank you!

Amazing video chris. rise and shine!!!
Thanks for the video Chris! I’m almost 22 and just moved cross-country away from everything to start a job. Still pretty disoriented but coming from your perspective these tips are extremely helpful (especially #3). Happy belated 30th 🎉
Thank you!
This is a great video! Keep going, you have what it takes to make it big! I hope to see more content from you in the future! 😁
Thanks for the kind words!

Glad you enjoyed it!
Great reminder here Chris Being average plus consistency would be super great too. Great video
Thank you Albert!!

Couldn't believe you only have 244 subscribers This is the first video I've watched on your channel. The quality of the editing, content, information, etc.. is incredible. Better than what you get on channels with 100K+ subscribers. Now it's 245.
Thank you, that means so much!

happy to hear it helped!
Lol loved the ending 😂 great video
thanks Michael! 😁
sensational
well said!
thinking about it I've always been a good writer, now you made me realise that, but I'm in no way good enough to be a writer... so I guess you helped seeing something I never paid attention to, but I should focus on it as a hobby only or as a starter for something else. Anyways, great content to see! Thx!
Realizing your strengths is already a win, happy for you!

What a great video ! I like what you said, “Were always in a state of becoming”
I didn’t quit my 9-5 but I decided to step down my role and be part time with the company. I thought I would be more productive with the plan I had for myself but so far the first 1 month was mainly having that break and enjoying the extra time I got, and coming in 2nd month I’m only slowly getting into the groove of figuring out my routine. I can relate to you with what you’re going through and the process you’re taking. We’re growing every day, trying things and adjusting as we continue. It feels amazing, though, knowing we’re doing these things for ourselves. Wish you luck and I’ll visit from time to time to check on your progress. Thanks for sharing your journey! ❤
Love your video! You brought up good points and questions to think about. Thanks for sharing ! ❤
