I have to say- I just recently discovered your work and it is very direct and unambiguous. I am 62 yo and working towards creating my own niche online and get out of healthcare. I feel like there are so many younger people online who try to portray themselves as experts without having done the work or have very limited life experiences. You are a very wise and visionary young man. Totally refreshing in the online space. Thank you so much for this work! 🙏🏻 ❤
I appreciate that Jennifer. I understand where they're coming from with positioning as experts... they feel like they have to. The contradictory thing is that they will be able to help / sell more with brutal honesty with where they are at and how they can start helping
@@DanKoeTalks I agree - it is the nature of the times. I actually admire most the ones that are honest about where they are and invite others on the journey with them ! More authentic 🙏🏻❤️
I agree wholeheartedly. I'm 55 yo with over thirty years of experience in my field, and I still don't consider myself an expert, but instead always learning and fine tuning. I've been working on shifting my perspective that three decades really does carry value and wisdom. And while I respect the inexperienced's fresh perspective, they most likely only have the highlights around the subject, not decades of actually living it. And very importantly, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that the fresh perspective is just as valuable as the experienced.
@@DanKoeTalks Hi Dan, thank goodness that I found you! Real talk is what I hear without the nonsense. People just want to make a fast buck. Thank you for telling like it is. It really puts my faith back into people and the online business.
the youth have answers. There's wisdom in age and also wisdom in the youth. Very important to see things from a new perspective, and to also learn what has been done before.
A unique problem I've noticed is that, even with such great content, people won't start anything. I use to be on the same boat, I'd watch self help, business, philosophical etc videos and noticed, it has become a source of entertainment for me rather than something that's actually taking me forward. Motion vs Action as James Clear would say.
What truly brings about change is action. While plans, ideas, and intentions are important, change can only be achieved through putting them into practice. Only by taking proactive measures and putting in effort can we attain our goals and change our lives. However, action is not always easy or natural. Many people may encounter obstacles and challenges such as procrastination, lack of motivation, fear, and uncertainty. To overcome these obstacles, we can take the following actions: 1. Develop specific plans and goals to better organize time and resources and achieve objectives more effectively. 2. Establish good habits and behavior patterns to improve self-discipline and efficiency, such as exercising every morning, eating regularly, and checking emails regularly. 3. Seek motivation and inspiration by communicating with others, seeking feedback and support, and finding role models. 4. Overcome fear and uncertainty by taking small steps, seeking help and support, and trying new methods and experiences. In summary, truly achieving change requires taking proactive action and overcoming various obstacles and challenges. By taking determined steps, developing good plans and goals, taking proactive action, and overcoming fear and uncertainty, we can achieve real change.

It is the same anywhere in the world. And we also have people like me who started, stoped, and are trying to start again! Dan is helping on it! Thanks for sharing this thought, @_DSRajput
Yes, most people never start living, let alone start a TH-cam Channel. Who really feels alive and fully present. How many people really do anything with their lives, except basic survival. If you can figure out how to start living, you might be able to start a TH-cam channel.
Instead of just consuming content, also create your digital social proof as your story based on things that you suppose to own (new skills with old principles). My philosophy is based on common things that most human pass throught - The curiosity of your inner child - The attitude of your adolescense - The responsability of your adult - And wisdom from your old self Thanks Dan. Keep up the work.

Yo Dan, just wanted to say thank you for triggering a paradigm shift in my thinking.. In the last couple of months I completely 180'd from: "I want to build huge ass businesses and build out bases all over the world" to: "I want to optimize my life for freedom and flexibilty with just a handful of close friends, so I can focus on health, creativity & family". Thanks for being the spark of my own solopreneurship journey. Hope to learn a lot more from you man👊
Dude. I just watched your 2nd to last video you posted (99%) Amazing cinematography. Great story telling. Well done. I guess no matter where you're at on your journey, you're still trying to improve. Even you. I just subscribed. Looking forward to following along.
First encounter with you and you're a brother from another mother. No question. I think the demand for this kind of content is so underestimated. Thank you!
Wow! You articulated what I’ve been thinking about for a long time….I’m a Holistic Synthesizer….. I’ve always told myself I wanted to learn various creative skills not merely to make money but to serve a higher purpose that gives meaning to my life and offers a contribution to the world. I see these skills as serving my ultimate why. “A Holistic Synthesizer is someone who documents their journey to the good life in an educational and persuasive manner.” -- this is amazing! “At the end of everyone’s life journey they are a life coach” “Your brand is your story” “Your content is your school- sharing your life’s journey” “Your product is the map-the holistic approach to life” All of these quotes are amazing! Inspired by you today! ❤ thank you!
Entrepreneurship is the modern survival! - Your brand is your story! - Your content the school on how you got there. - Your product is the map to help others to get where you are with less trial and error. You cant sustain authenticity when you need something from someone. Expression of your authentic self relies on the freedom of your soul. Thank you Dan for helping me shift my focus.
This is absolutely amazing, and I have been trying for almost a year now, to articulate or make sense of any of this! I have started two businesses, and while both were successful, there came a point where there was no more room for growth in my OWN holistic and satisfying way. Essentially, I’ve been in the middle of such a bad existential crisis for over a year, and ended myself in a story similar to many spiritual stories - I had it all. Everything one could ever dream, but I was empty and I sought something else. THIS is what I’ve been trying to put words to this whole time while everyone is watching me throw my 15 year career into a state of chaos publicly 😅 You are an absolute genius! So thankful I found you!
When YT began showing me your content, I didn't really resonate. But the algorithm knows me better than I do. Lately you've been more and more relevant. Or I'm just now getting the message. I've run an agency since 2010 for the money. I'm burnt, frustrated and depressed. Doing something I actually love is what I need!
"We need more individuals that are truth seekers." Amen to that! Holism is the way of the future. At 60 years old, I'm finally ready to live this path and share it with the world. I'm finishing my first health and wellness book that will blend intermittent fasting, whole food, meditation, and exercise. Your discussion fits perfectly with what's happening in my life right now. I really appreciate 🙏 your work!
I didn't care for what I heard on this channel when I saw the last video (cheap dopamine). It sounded like everything I heard everywhere else, but with this video I'm hooked.
Definitely not alone. TH-cam is great, but if I could recommend one thing, it would be finding people in the replies of good twitter / instagram accounts. I don't mean to promote my own, but you can find some incredible people in the replies to some of my content - especially since a lot of them are on the same page
A small little soulless lashlight 😂 everything you're talkin about I've already written in a Google document. But it really means a lot to me that you're talking about value. I'm writing one of those books just for myself. On the idea of magic money. Just understanding value it all just really comes down to just appreciating things just the way they are. So thank you for this amazing content and helps me get organized and my. ❤
I think in the long term ethical, meaningful and purposeful practices will always come out on top. We already see that with many people and companies today. If you want short term success, do as you please. But if you want long term success and fullfilment then cultivate meaning, pursue your passions and remember: COMPASSION over competition.
Holy shit man, how did I not find you sooner. You just fully described what I have been telling people I am trying to do, far better than I was able to. I feel seen, validated and educated. Thank you
I am a modern conqueror 🤘 Awesome to see how your content aligns with what you teach… got the newsletter yesterday and the TH-cam video dropped today 🙌 Gotta walk the walk and talk the talk, I appreciate your truth and value to help others 🙏
This is probably the most honest and most valuable piece of content I’ve ever watched.I’m brand new on my TH-cam journey and you literally just said everything I needed to hear and laid out all the keys,new sub gang.thanks Dan 👊🏼😊
Easily one of the most unique, useful, and authentic creators on TH-cam. I have to say Dan, you're a cut above. I never feel like you're offering a gimmick or are trying to push me towards a sponsor. Real, raw, honest, and very rare nowadays. Much appreciated!
Completely agree re: niching! I just started my YT people when I finally decided I would just talk about what would serve my community. Being told to niche down (spirituality, business or health) kept me off YT for years. I have been talking about this for years and now that people are talking about this I feel less crazy.
i was beset on my self improvement journey by my interest in philosophy. this is the first video of yours i’ve seen. glad to see someone approaches this with the same mindset i do.
Dan thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge with us. I am about to be an empty nester and your videos are really helping me sort out what I want to do with myself and perhaps a new career in this new chapter of my life. Thanks for getting down to the nitty gritty without a bunch of pomp and circumstance. Cheers!
Just found out about this channel. I read the comments to make my decision about watching the video or not, and I was totally convinced by the people around here. I just have to say I’m glad I clicked here…This is so refreshing. It’s so good to hear ideas that don’t make me feel anxious about the future and give me hope that the internet doesn’t have to be this “fake people land”. Social media can be useful and it can be healthy if you use it just a little bit differently from the majority of people 🤷♀️
Dude, I have no idea who you are and how I stumbled upon this video, but damn, this hits hard. I ran an online education business and the way I saw the bullshit of marketing moving towards the Clickfunnels route (scarcity, countdown timers, bullshit) just turned me off of it so much that I hated even being associated with 'those people who sell courses online'. It's been a real struggle to wrestle with over the years in terms of what I enjoy doing and creating for 'work' because I love making things that are helpful (beyond the dopamine level hit of 'get rich courses'), and this video is giving me some new insights in how to go about that in a fresh way / reframe how I'm thinking about this, so thanks for creating the video, Dan. Subbed!
This is the most amazing advice I stumbled across. So many friends have encouraged me to start making videos and share my life on topics they feel I have inspired in their lives. I haven't taken any action because I'm not sure where to start or what my end goal should be. I love the idea of putting myself out there imperfect, learning, evolving, and having people that resonate with what I am doing and then inspire them to do the same. This was the first video I have watched of yours and I'm now a subscriber :)
It's just so funny how you're describing concepts that seem so simple to me, however when I attempt to share the same concepts with others it falls flat. lol
I started my own business in 1999 and still own it to this day. I can't "coach" anyone how to do it because my business is an extension of me and no one can duplicate exactly what I do. So, the "one size fits all" approach of "learn how to do something and then teach it to others" does not and CANNOT apply in my case.
just realized i'm totally into that fluff 👍 thanks for your great work, it totally gives the necesary hints on how to find the purpose that's not just materialistic. and it just takes everything to another level! 👏
I started with a daily newsletter and Facebook ads. Spent $1000/month on ads and after 12 months had an income enough to live off of without client work. Now I’m working on making the organic top of funnel content😅
Man this is exactly what I needed to hear. I started making TH-cam videos and podcasts in the beginning of 2020 but fell off. I’m only now just starting again but I feel much more qualified to speak on things like self-development, spirituality, and philosophy. It’s good to hear people put the things you want to do into perspective because some of us deal with imposter syndrome. So thanks for this 🙏🏼
You are very great at this its only sad to only see not many views. Im a teacher in this exact thing and im learning. Thanks, keep it up. P.s. I believe fluff is anchoring the thing you want to learn, thats how the brain works, we remember better with lots of anchors.
All of your most recent videos seem increasingly relevant to my present unfolding.. Thank you Dan for being a valuable human that I can resonate with and giving actionable advice in achieving the dream.
Authenticity = less shallowness. I believe that is a super easy way to make your business or brand better. It might not give back right away but seemingly being shallow also may not.
Thanks Dan for sharing this freely. what you have just shared a clear blue print to starting the one person business which is 100% very clear. people pay lots of money to get this kind of knowledge from a master class.
This is gold…i absolutely felt this in my soul. There was something so pure and raw and authentic that really turned a button on within me. Thank you so much for posting this. New Subscriber
Great video. It's really nice to hear somebody else say out loud to the world what I have been telling myself my whole life. It's literally the opposite of what We are taught in school and what our parents try to make us feel bad for thinking about. Good stuff man second video i've watched of yours I'll be a subscriber for life
Homie coming right out of the gate with heavy Jungian wisdom as applied to the topic at hand. I appreciate that greatly, gives me some hope for the future of transparency and quality in the biz. We're all catching on, clearly.
Hey Dan. You probably know about the spam/scam commentors under your video already and I know there's not much we can do, but I just went along and singlehandedly reported all the spam messages from the video up to this point. Not sure how long it'll take TH-cam to take action, but about 200-300 buttons clicked for you. That's it for me for the day. Keep up the good work!
Brother you hit it out the park and clarified where I was headed but you are already there..I been creating a holistic life enhancement niche combining the essentials all in one , my background is philosophy eastern philosophy merging it with neuroscience to come out with best solutions for every problem humans are facing ..thanks again definitely joining one of your courses
thank you so much Dan! this video made me ruminate on my past lifestyle and what things led me to change, what helped me to feel better. I even wrote a whole post about one of those things(questioning my daily choices), and recorded a video of me talking about it (which is getting out of my comfort zone) it is inspirational, thank you! 'your product is a map - a holistic system that helps people gets to where you are with less trials and errors" - loved it
I have to say this was one of your best videos in quite some time. I like the idea of going wide and then reaching down within your viewers for nieche.
Excellent... I just discovered you today. I like step-by-step, but with the micro spaces filled in in-between the steps. Thanks for sharing this! James
@dan koe the point you mentioned about schooling in future where 12 years are not wasted on the same things instead one thing is teached and student move to the next was how education was in Ancient India. Gurukuls was the terminology used for that. That was the golden era of India economically and philosophically. Thats the beauty of social media, the school is the whole internet and not bound by countries.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m a creator (and by virtue of that a marketer) but marketing tactics and psych tricks in any video/copy etc stick out like such a sore thumb to me and deter me from going for the offer. I much prefer people who just let me know they have a solution to a problem that I may or may not have and then I can choose to purchase or not. My responses to sleazy marketing tactics in the past have ALWAYS been rooted in fear & scarcity (and so I was never really in a position mentally/energetically) to receive the offering in the first place.
Yea all the mind games. Whole thing is people trying to dictate how other people perceive. Like you I don't want anyone trying to intentionally influence how I construct a perception of what I'm looking at. Show me or indicate to me what the thing really is and I'll do the rest. If they can't do that or they wanna try to trick you into seeing it in a way that benefits them, then I have no attention to give them. It's everywhere though.
Self-actualization: to fulfill the desire to become everything one can be. To actualize your potential. Good lord that struck my head like a lumberjack swinging a sledgehammer against my temple. I originally wanted to start an online business to get money but you're spilling out more than I or anyone could've asked. So now I got the mindset to start an online business but mainly to serve others and give others the value I have because I believe that is my life's purpose. I'm aware about other models like dropshipping and affiliate marketing but I feel as if I learn a skill I enjoy and employ myself as an agency to serve others, I figure it wouldn't be that bad right? Regardless, I signed up for your power planner and 7 days to genius to see if I can create myself into someone that's capable of generating income and highly able to help other people online. You make good work and your knowledge doesn't look like it has a ceiling, thank you for sharing.
Absolutely love the concept of the "holistic synthesizer" in this video! The holistic synthesizer's life's work is to document and share their travel plans and journey towards the good life. - clarify and pursue your vision of the good life, - acquire unique skills and interests, - experience personal breakthroughs, ups, and downs, - share educationally and persuasively (help your past self and current self become your future self) - start habits that your future self needs 🌟 - inspire and educate others to do the same 🚀 Ps. Dan I just found you. Keep up the fantastic work! 💪
Dan's key points continued: Your brand is your story of where you are now your content, what helped you get there, is your school your product is the map a: holistic system that helps people get to where you are with less trial and error. - educate yourself and learn new skills. - improve your life, - pursue your curiosity and - share your discoveries. When more people master their personal lives, they can put the creative ability of their minds together to work on global problems. You have to build your own thing. Entrepreneurship is modern-day survival. Your psyche is wired to hunt. You are naturally, biologically rewarded for hunting, for your survival, not for being a monkey in a cubicle, hunting for money to ease survival-induced stress and open room for creativity. The creator philosophy is not a business model, but a way of life. And in essence, it's to improve yourself and then improve others that look at the world with similar lenses.
These videos are so helpful with real, actionable advice on creating your own path online and contributing to society while making a living that you enjoy! Your videos always come at the best time with what i'm trying to figure out to do, keep up the great work Dan!
Hah the "that's where the self help advice came from, from the philosophical stuff" is really true. Reminds me of basically the same thing that a Spanish philosophy teacher I follow said, something like "self-help is just bad philosophy, but it's still a philosophy. why not go seek a good philosophy instead?" lol
Let me tell you, Dan your content is epic. I'm literally learning technology and many things now to get me ahead. This is an epic statement you just made. I quote " You cannot master authenticity while depending on someone else for survival" .......Dan Koe. That alone could have been the whole video. Powerful
I think this is why I haven't really niched down..and feel like I'm all over..but that's just who I am, i just creat a whole bunch of stuff that I'm interested in. This video helps alot.
Damn bro I feel so weak to cry about this but after being abused, used, scammed, betrayed and left alone. I feel no empathy or hope anymore. The only thing I want right now is to be free. Dan gives me so much clarity even if I have no clue what I’m gonna do . Hope everyone who’s in difficult situations will fight and conquer.
This right here is the story, skills and experiences that can be converted into your life’s work, philosophy, “public school” and holistic solution as a product. You’re an Asset, Gratian.
It's phenomenal how he builds up a system, or should i say his point of view, his perception, his reality he lives in and teaches us how we can do the same and not only bemefit alone, instead letting others benefit from our evolution too 🤲
Greetings Dan I’m so glad I came upon your channel I appreciate your point of view and deliverance. Keep it coming thank you much peace and blessings to you
As someone in IT I can tell you, small businesses are going to be the norm from now on and we’ve been going that way for awhile. The internet itself, think about how big that is, is maintained by just 150k in a population of 300M.
You're literally Cloud from Final Fantasy VII. All of your videos are Gold. You have shown me how to turn my expertise in music and composition into a million dollar business. Thank you. I hope to see you in the real world at some point.
idk how your channel is the channel that I've found that resonates most with my values even though I'm just a soft life arts girl that somehow managed to capitalize on her talents very early on, anyway love this
12:14 I am also a philosophical person as you, Dan Koe and I'm trying to learn how to be a practical person (for a moment) because that way I can reap the results (in other words, make money in order to have financial freedom and control my time to live the rest of my life just reading and learning to be more philosophical than ever because it's what I like to be). Note, I had hard times lately because of that issue. I'm a natural thinker, not a doer but to have freedom in order to be myself and feed myself, I need money so I have to momentarily be who I am not in order to be who I am forever.
I think one of the main issues with regards to packaging a course that helps a person get from A to B, is that they dont have the gumption to read book upon book to learn not only the steps but also the writers experience on the matter - as you said, the holistic approach. People want the shortest option to get from A to B. Much the same as how our attention span has been reduced to such as extent that even an 8 second reel is too long for some people, or most.
I spent a decade helping women launch online businesses. I shut down last year and fully quit with no plan. Poverty feels better than pushing consumerism.
Dan, I am breathing with your ideas while swimming through the sea. My ship had traped on the rief. So now I am one in this fucking sea of past errors. I don't know where is the land or irland, but You help me stay swimming. every inhale with your content is a wonder of how the life keeps me staying alive while the exhale when I go down... Ì appriciate every your intention which You bring or send through Your Job aka videos on TH-cam. I deconstruct every Your video and trying to reflect with my own thoughts. Dan - You are The Great Human! I am hoping I will not lost Your voice in my reality. another way I will keep breathing with Your creative presence on TH-cam. thank You. have a nice day! 🇺🇦
Hi Dan just found your channel and much enjoyed listening to you, you were kind when you said that we the viewers have lost some trust in the way all goes, I dare say I lost all trust, feel that we are told lies about everything , our governments our media our society isn't oke, it made me feel so sad unaccomplished that I left my job 2 months ago , after years couldn't take it any more and now I search a place a way where I can provide for myself differently .Thank you for sharing.Kind regards

It’s hard to describe what I want to do with my life, but this guy nails it on the head. I feel understood and not alone on this journey.
Definitely not alone. TH-cam is great, but if I could recommend one thing, it would be finding people in the replies of good twitter / instagram accounts. I don't mean to promote my own, but you can find some incredible people in the replies to some of my content - especially since a lot of them are on the same page
Jesus loves you !
Yessssssss
i’ve been binge watching this series over the weekend & FINALLY laid out the structure of my consulting biz. grateful for your actionable advice!
Hell yeah, glad it helps🙏
What videos are part of the series?
Yes, I would like to explore this series. Thank you.
A small little soulless lashlight 😂 everything you're talkin about I've already written in a Google document. But it really means a lot to me that you're talking about value. I'm writing one of those books just for myself. On the idea of magic money. Just understanding value it all just really comes down to just appreciating things just the way they are. So thank you for this amazing content and helps me get organized and my. ❤
I think in the long term ethical, meaningful and purposeful practices will always come out on top. We already see that with many people and companies today.
If you want short term success, do as you please.
But if you want long term success and fullfilment then cultivate meaning, pursue your passions and remember: COMPASSION over competition.
Warren Buffett said something along the lines: "if you take the high road, it's never crowded."
@@edheldude That's very well put, ill have to remember that one.
Holy shit man, how did I not find you sooner. You just fully described what I have been telling people I am trying to do, far better than I was able to. I feel seen, validated and educated. Thank you
I am a modern conqueror 🤘 Awesome to see how your content aligns with what you teach… got the newsletter yesterday and the TH-cam video dropped today 🙌 Gotta walk the walk and talk the talk, I appreciate your truth and value to help others 🙏
This is probably the most honest and most valuable piece of content I’ve ever watched.I’m brand new on my TH-cam journey and you literally just said everything I needed to hear and laid out all the keys,new sub gang.thanks Dan 👊🏼😊
Easily one of the most unique, useful, and authentic creators on TH-cam. I have to say Dan, you're a cut above. I never feel like you're offering a gimmick or are trying to push me towards a sponsor. Real, raw, honest, and very rare nowadays. Much appreciated!
Completely agree re: niching! I just started my YT people when I finally decided I would just talk about what would serve my community. Being told to niche down (spirituality, business or health) kept me off YT for years. I have been talking about this for years and now that people are talking about this I feel less crazy.
This is such a refreshing perspective in the shallow sea of illusionary advice out there.
This really flicked my third eye. Thanks for sharing, I love it!
i was beset on my self improvement journey by my interest in philosophy. this is the first video of yours i’ve seen. glad to see someone approaches this with the same mindset i do.
Dan thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge with us. I am about to be an empty nester and your videos are really helping me sort out what I want to do with myself and perhaps a new career in this new chapter of my life. Thanks for getting down to the nitty gritty without a bunch of pomp and circumstance. Cheers!
Just found out about this channel. I read the comments to make my decision about watching the video or not, and I was totally convinced by the people around here. I just have to say I’m glad I clicked here…This is so refreshing. It’s so good to hear ideas that don’t make me feel anxious about the future and give me hope that the internet doesn’t have to be this “fake people land”. Social media can be useful and it can be healthy if you use it just a little bit differently from the majority of people 🤷♀️
Dude, I have no idea who you are and how I stumbled upon this video, but damn, this hits hard. I ran an online education business and the way I saw the bullshit of marketing moving towards the Clickfunnels route (scarcity, countdown timers, bullshit) just turned me off of it so much that I hated even being associated with 'those people who sell courses online'.
It's been a real struggle to wrestle with over the years in terms of what I enjoy doing and creating for 'work' because I love making things that are helpful (beyond the dopamine level hit of 'get rich courses'), and this video is giving me some new insights in how to go about that in a fresh way / reframe how I'm thinking about this, so thanks for creating the video, Dan. Subbed!
This is the most amazing advice I stumbled across. So many friends have encouraged me to start making videos and share my life on topics they feel I have inspired in their lives. I haven't taken any action because I'm not sure where to start or what my end goal should be. I love the idea of putting myself out there imperfect, learning, evolving, and having people that resonate with what I am doing and then inspire them to do the same. This was the first video I have watched of yours and I'm now a subscriber :)
It's just so funny how you're describing concepts that seem so simple to me, however when I attempt to share the same concepts with others it falls flat. lol
I started my own business in 1999 and still own it to this day. I can't "coach" anyone how to do it because my business is an extension of me and no one can duplicate exactly what I do. So, the "one size fits all" approach of "learn how to do something and then teach it to others" does not and CANNOT apply in my case.
just realized i'm totally into that fluff 👍 thanks for your great work, it totally gives the necesary hints on how to find the purpose that's not just materialistic. and it just takes everything to another level! 👏
I started with a daily newsletter and Facebook ads. Spent $1000/month on ads and after 12 months had an income enough to live off of without client work.
Now I’m working on making the organic top of funnel content😅
Man this is exactly what I needed to hear.
I started making TH-cam videos and podcasts in the beginning of 2020 but fell off. I’m only now just starting again but I feel much more qualified to speak on things like self-development, spirituality, and philosophy.
It’s good to hear people put the things you want to do into perspective because some of us deal with imposter syndrome. So thanks for this 🙏🏼
Your videos are everything. Thank you for the depth & realness. It is super motivational. Here for the fluff ✨✨✨
thankful for coming across your videos
this is absolute masterpiece
Best advise I’ve seen. Thank you for this. ❤
You are very great at this its only sad to only see not many views. Im a teacher in this exact thing and im learning. Thanks, keep it up.
P.s. I believe fluff is anchoring the thing you want to learn, thats how the brain works, we remember better with lots of anchors.
All of your most recent videos seem increasingly relevant to my present unfolding.. Thank you Dan for being a valuable human that I can resonate with and giving actionable advice in achieving the dream.
TRUTH is the Ultimate Training System that facilitates optimization of being.
Your work is much appreciated 🙏
Valuable info Dan. Your consistency is King.
Thank you for leading by example! 🙌
I heard first 10min, and got so much resonance 💥
You are the real deal ✨
Authenticity = less shallowness. I believe that is a super easy way to make your business or brand better. It might not give back right away but seemingly being shallow also may not.
This is so much better than so much BS here on TH-cam. Thanks for creating this video. Glad it came up in my recommended feed.
Fabulous fabulous fabulous! Authentic and pragmatic. Good one:
Thanks Dan for sharing this freely. what you have just shared a clear blue print to starting the one person business which is 100% very clear. people pay lots of money to get this kind of knowledge from a master class.
This is gold…i absolutely felt this in my soul. There was something so pure and raw and authentic that really turned a button on within me. Thank you so much for posting this. New Subscriber
Great video. It's really nice to hear somebody else say out loud to the world what I have been telling myself my whole life. It's literally the opposite of what We are taught in school and what our parents try to make us feel bad for thinking about. Good stuff man second video i've watched of yours I'll be a subscriber for life
Homie coming right out of the gate with heavy Jungian wisdom as applied to the topic at hand. I appreciate that greatly, gives me some hope for the future of transparency and quality in the biz. We're all catching on, clearly.
Each sentence you speak holds so much value. Thank you for your channel 🔥
Hey Dan. You probably know about the spam/scam commentors under your video already and I know there's not much we can do, but I just went along and singlehandedly reported all the spam messages from the video up to this point. Not sure how long it'll take TH-cam to take action, but about 200-300 buttons clicked for you. That's it for me for the day. Keep up the good work!
Your content is The Most Useful that I have found!!! I have been so stuck until I found you today.
Brother you hit it out the park and clarified where I was headed but you are already there..I been creating a holistic life enhancement niche combining the essentials all in one , my background is philosophy eastern philosophy merging it with neuroscience to come out with best solutions for every problem humans are facing ..thanks again definitely joining one of your courses
This is my first Dan Koe exposure. Consider me hooked 👍🏽👏🏽. Hope this helps your analytics 👌🏽
Thanking the Universe for aligning me with this frequency 💜🦋👑
thank you so much Dan! this video made me ruminate on my past lifestyle and what things led me to change, what helped me to feel better. I even wrote a whole post about one of those things(questioning my daily choices), and recorded a video of me talking about it (which is getting out of my comfort zone) it is inspirational, thank you!
'your product is a map - a holistic system that helps people gets to where you are with less trials and errors" - loved it
Just Thanks. Talking about clarity you have the skill of clear communication and that is enjoyable.
I have to say this was one of your best videos in quite some time.
I like the idea of going wide and then reaching down within your viewers for nieche.
Excellent...
I just discovered you today.
I like step-by-step, but with the micro spaces filled in in-between the steps.
Thanks for sharing this!
James
I’m so happy I came across your channel.
The Hill quote on a community with a shared purpose seems to be the piece of the puzzle I was missing. Thank you for sharing.
@dan koe the point you mentioned about schooling in future where 12 years are not wasted on the same things instead one thing is teached and student move to the next was how education was in Ancient India. Gurukuls was the terminology used for that. That was the golden era of India economically and philosophically. Thats the beauty of social media, the school is the whole internet and not bound by countries.
Great video Dan. I quit my job last week. Tomorrow starts my creator journey. You’re an inspiration. 🙏
Good luck !)
Planning on putting in my two week notice next week and doing the same. Best of luck to you!
@@iamadampace best of luck to you too!
I don’t know if it’s because I’m a creator (and by virtue of that a marketer) but marketing tactics and psych tricks in any video/copy etc stick out like such a sore thumb to me and deter me from going for the offer. I much prefer people who just let me know they have a solution to a problem that I may or may not have and then I can choose to purchase or not. My responses to sleazy marketing tactics in the past have ALWAYS been rooted in fear & scarcity (and so I was never really in a position mentally/energetically) to receive the offering in the first place.
Yea all the mind games. Whole thing is people trying to dictate how other people perceive. Like you I don't want anyone trying to intentionally influence how I construct a perception of what I'm looking at. Show me or indicate to me what the thing really is and I'll do the rest. If they can't do that or they wanna try to trick you into seeing it in a way that benefits them, then I have no attention to give them. It's everywhere though.
@@0ptimal I resonate with this
Self-actualization: to fulfill the desire to become everything one can be. To actualize your potential. Good lord that struck my head like a lumberjack swinging a sledgehammer against my temple. I originally wanted to start an online business to get money but you're spilling out more than I or anyone could've asked. So now I got the mindset to start an online business but mainly to serve others and give others the value I have because I believe that is my life's purpose. I'm aware about other models like dropshipping and affiliate marketing but I feel as if I learn a skill I enjoy and employ myself as an agency to serve others, I figure it wouldn't be that bad right? Regardless, I signed up for your power planner and 7 days to genius to see if I can create myself into someone that's capable of generating income and highly able to help other people online. You make good work and your knowledge doesn't look like it has a ceiling, thank you for sharing.
Dan, thanks for your authenticity
Absolutely love the concept of the "holistic synthesizer" in this video! The holistic synthesizer's life's work is to document and share their travel plans and journey towards the good life.
- clarify and pursue your vision of the good life,
- acquire unique skills and interests,
- experience personal breakthroughs, ups, and downs,
- share educationally and persuasively (help your past self and current self become your future self)
- start habits that your future self needs 🌟
- inspire and educate others to do the same 🚀
Ps. Dan I just found you. Keep up the fantastic work! 💪
Dan's key points continued:
Your brand is your story of where you are now
your content, what helped you get there, is your school
your product is the map a: holistic system that helps people get to where you are with less trial and error.
- educate yourself and learn new skills.
- improve your life,
- pursue your curiosity and
- share your discoveries.
When more people master their personal lives, they can put the creative ability of their minds together to work on global problems.
You have to build your own thing. Entrepreneurship is modern-day survival. Your psyche is wired to hunt. You are naturally, biologically rewarded for hunting, for your survival, not for being a monkey in a cubicle, hunting for money to ease survival-induced stress and open room for creativity.
The creator philosophy is not a business model, but a way of life. And in essence, it's to improve yourself and then improve others that look at the world with similar lenses.
These videos are so helpful with real, actionable advice on creating your own path online and contributing to society while making a living that you enjoy! Your videos always come at the best time with what i'm trying to figure out to do, keep up the great work Dan!
the most valuable youtube channel by far ❤️🔥
Dan your content is a gust of fresh air in this space.
Thank you for encouraging us to be better, to think and to do act.
Hah the "that's where the self help advice came from, from the philosophical stuff" is really true. Reminds me of basically the same thing that a Spanish philosophy teacher I follow said, something like "self-help is just bad philosophy, but it's still a philosophy. why not go seek a good philosophy instead?" lol
Let me tell you, Dan your content is epic. I'm literally learning technology and many things now to get me ahead. This is an epic statement you just made. I quote " You cannot master authenticity while depending on someone else for survival" .......Dan Koe. That alone could have been the whole video. Powerful
I think this is why I haven't really niched down..and feel like I'm all over..but that's just who I am, i just creat a whole bunch of stuff that I'm interested in.
This video helps alot.
Damn bro I feel so weak to cry about this but after being abused, used, scammed, betrayed and left alone. I feel no empathy or hope anymore. The only thing I want right now is to be free. Dan gives me so much clarity even if I have no clue what I’m gonna do . Hope everyone who’s in difficult situations will fight and conquer.
You can do it!
You got this! One day at a time💪
Keep going forward, champ!
This right here is the story, skills and experiences that can be converted into your life’s work, philosophy, “public school” and holistic solution as a product. You’re an Asset, Gratian.
@@fbdeploy well said 👏
Dan you're a G bro. This is my language. Timely and resonates fully.
My favourite channel right now, someone who is just authentic
It's phenomenal how he builds up a system,
or should i say his point of view, his perception, his reality he lives in and teaches us how we can do the same and not only bemefit alone, instead letting others benefit from our evolution too 🤲
Greetings Dan I’m so glad I came upon your channel I appreciate your point of view and deliverance. Keep it coming thank you much peace and blessings to you
Very Jungian video on business. Loved it!
I love the insight in these talks
As someone in IT I can tell you, small businesses are going to be the norm from now on and we’ve been going that way for awhile. The internet itself, think about how big that is, is maintained by just 150k in a population of 300M.
Love this, each one of us has something important to offer, that someone else will find useful. Inspiring me to get to work!
Hey girl
You're literally Cloud from Final Fantasy VII. All of your videos are Gold. You have shown me how to turn my expertise in music and composition into a million dollar business. Thank you. I hope to see you in the real world at some point.
So motivating. Thank you!
idk how your channel is the channel that I've found that resonates most with my values even though I'm just a soft life arts girl that somehow managed to capitalize on her talents very early on, anyway love this
Every lecture is FULL of info! I just don’t know where to start!
2 words: THANK YOU🎯🎯🎯‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
You are the only person I want to follow anymore. You're speaking to my soul and have given me more meaning to life.
Integration of shadow by gearing it towards ethical personal success. Life changing.
Don’t usually comment but pretty sure this helped me figure out my true place in life
Thank you ❤
12:14 I am also a philosophical person as you, Dan Koe and I'm trying to learn how to be a practical person (for a moment) because that way I can reap the results (in other words, make money in order to have financial freedom and control my time to live the rest of my life just reading and learning to be more philosophical than ever because it's what I like to be).
Note, I had hard times lately because of that issue. I'm a natural thinker, not a doer but to have freedom in order to be myself and feed myself, I need money so I have to momentarily be who I am not in order to be who I am forever.
I think one of the main issues with regards to packaging a course that helps a person get from A to B, is that they dont have the gumption to read book upon book to learn not only the steps but also the writers experience on the matter - as you said, the holistic approach. People want the shortest option to get from A to B. Much the same as how our attention span has been reduced to such as extent that even an 8 second reel is too long for some people, or most.
You have true clarity of thought.
This is gold! Gives me so much motivation to grow my personal brand.
Wow! I could listen and watch you.... all day long! Holy. Loving your content! Thank you! Fun things it is!
I spent a decade helping women launch online businesses. I shut down last year and fully quit with no plan. Poverty feels better than pushing consumerism.
I love this: holistic synthesizer. A term I completely identify with.
Good points. Holism and syncretism were always present in our past and perennial wisdom teachings. Ciao!
Dan, I am breathing with your ideas while swimming through the sea. My ship had traped on the rief. So now I am one in this fucking sea of past errors. I don't know where is the land or irland, but You help me stay swimming. every inhale with your content is a wonder of how the life keeps me staying alive while the exhale when I go down... Ì appriciate every your intention which You bring or send through Your Job aka videos on TH-cam. I deconstruct every Your video and trying to reflect with my own thoughts. Dan - You are The Great Human! I am hoping I will not lost Your voice in my reality. another way I will keep breathing with Your creative presence on TH-cam. thank You. have a nice day! 🇺🇦
Hi Dan just found your channel and much enjoyed listening to you, you were kind when you said that we the viewers have lost some trust in the way all goes, I dare say I lost all trust, feel that we are told lies about everything , our governments our media our society isn't oke, it made me feel so sad unaccomplished that I left my job 2 months ago , after years couldn't take it any more and now I search a place a way where I can provide for myself differently .Thank you for sharing.Kind regards
WOW! blew my mind TRUTH!!! keep enlightening others 🙏
