I worked part-time most of my life and raised 2 daughters without child support. I began by saving $1,000 per year. Just before I retired, I was saving $1,000 per month. Little by little, I learned that there were multiple things I could go without. I live in a studio apartment. To save on groceries, I fast, diet and eat small portions. I'm 63. Weigh 125 pounds. Perfect health. I'm very comfortably retired. It just requires discipline. There is no other magic mind set other than that.

@@paulijswww It was a bit tricky (I guess because so much time has passed), but I found the book in the articles from 2016: www.douglaskruger.com/articles/article-160 I couldn't really figure out how to get to the next article, so I just replaced "article-160" in the link by "article-161" etc. :P
Integrity is the first step to permanent wealth. It all starts with self belief. You feel great about yourself when you do the right thing, give more than what is asked and the universe responds accordingly.
I never used to read books. That was a huge mistake on my part. Once I found personal development books, I find I like to read. Also, poverty is ignorance. Reading can enlighten even the most stubborn soul and deliver anyone from poverty!
I just came across your TH-cam channel just because the algorithm. I was impressed, what you had to say was very down-to-earth and Common Sense. So since I'm a student of self-improvement I subscribed. Keep doing your thing you did a great job
#1 Raise your personal value #2 Repay trust with excellence Well said and great advice. Definitely about reading and researching at the different levels you are at. Thank you for the advice and keep up the great content!!!
I love you . I am not going to poor any more!!! I just love this teacher!!! I have to get better friends. When I did what he stated in video my life started to change!!!!!!!
Hello Charlene, Trust this find you well yesterday i listened to a Jim Rohn video. The advice about raising your value is the same. Jim said: " You get paid for the value you bring to the market not for the time you put". I just discoverd this author yesterday too. While he was speaking at a University. I swear being poor is a mentality before a status. I figure this out when he showed some biais poors have which keep them away from being wealthy: Money=evil, Money is finite, Rely on governments, play it safe etc...
I moved out of south central Los Angeles. I began to work on these principles and I now live in my dream home in the Suburbs of Los Angeles. Many people never leave and poverty becomes inevitable. Have a vision and focus on it.

It’s about how we respond to circumstances. One person says “My situation is so bleak, I can’t do anything to get out!” The other says, “My situation was so dire I had no choice but to find a way out.” I became a felon as a teenager. I got out and started a home care business and married a young lady. I was doing pretty well in my twenties. Then it seemed like everything just went awry... I went through a divorce and had to sue my business partner all at the same time. The business crumbled and I was left to consult other home care business operators just to make ends meet. I slept on couches for a few years. My credit was shot and I had a toddler to support. I learned some new skillsets and eventually 5 years later I have an internet based business earning just over $50K/mo. There were many many days I endured intense depression and I didn’t think it would be a way out... But there always is. Please don’t settle for less. If you have a dream write it out then execute it. To try and fail is better than to just settle for mediocrity.
I think another thing that goes hand in hand with poverty is homelessness. I've been working on ideas with the premise if someone had no money what could they build to survive, a lot of people in the tiny house movement try to develop plans to answer this problem, for example building one out of pallet wood or a shipping container. I was homeless for several years but have a place now but my heart still considers Matthew 25 the parable of the sheep and the goats. I really want to try and end homelessness.
@@EmmanuelAyeni I think your exactly right, I just need to break free of the rat race so I can work unhindered on a great solution. I have been thinking of getting a completely off grid tiny home with solar wind and hydro power and purchasing an electric car. With those two it could set me up to have free water , electricityand no monthly Bill's for lliving and free fuel for the electric car and gradually adding excess solar panels to make a solar farm could get me checks from the power company for selling them my excess power .
homesonwheelsalliance.org. Bob Wells of Cheap RV living is addressing this problem one van at a time. He has a partner and they work together on this non-profit. I can pay bills and put change away for savings right now. I do try to repay trust with excellence but fall short at times when my idea of excellence doesn't match someone else whom I am working for or with. I am currently donating $12.00 per year to this non-profit to help others until I am ready to move into a van built-out myself, a few years away. One person at a time: it does grow by that person, once helped, paying it forward.
Tiny homes seem great but today are very expensive excuse they are a fad. Older mobile homes can be bought for very little and sometimes free. They might require $3k to $5k to make livable. Seems like cheapest option. I think churches could develop a program to help with this.
This information is gold. Glad I’m hearing this at 22 years old, I’m always learning and seeking out new knowledge on how to better myself and my finances. Especially since this is free on TH-cam, this is a steal.
Fantastic! What a kind, generous, warm and loving man this seems to be. First video of D. Kruger I'm watching, but this felt really good! Thank you and may God bless you!
I needed to hear this. And started not to. I played your video by accident, but stayed to listen. I'm 49, recently released from a long prison term, and I just lost my car. I've been walking for weeks (as there is no public transportation in my area), and now I've begun riding a bike. I've had trouble getting (and keeping) jobs, and my girlfriend has been supporting us. Today I've been hired to serve at an IHOP for $12 an hour (soon to be reduced to $6 plus tips when I'm trained). I'm expected to work long hours 6am-4pm and I've been dreading starting it on Monday. I just could not see how I could make anything of it. The only reason I was going to work the job was for my girlfriend. I just don't want to let her down. She inexplicably believes in me... And then I encountered your video. What you talked about was the one thing I did all those years in prison (18 years 9 months); I read and practiced my speaking. But since I was released(3 years ago) the world has slapped me in the face and I've been feeling sorry for myself. Your video renewed my enthusiasm and hope, and gave me something practical I can do. Thank you for your eloquence.
1: you need know how to sell 2. You need know how to make people trust in you. 3. Taking care the trust well 4.make others people rich 5. Make sure living surrounded by rich kindness environment, make sure you live which your neigbours more richer than yours. You sleep peacefull when you know that your neigbours surrounded you is richer than you. But if you rich alone and all surrounded you is poor, then i make sure you will never sleep well. Its just so easy being rich today compared previous generations. We just too much complained, too much compare our life to others, watching too much soap opera, too much wasting time , too much enterntainment products poisonous, too much want rather than need. And we too much do nothings, only just watching others life and just commenting on youtube.
I grew up with a very negative view of motivational speakers/personal development coaches. The person I knew who was most interested in them even described herself as "vindictive" and "power hungry". Needless to say I've steered clear of anything I think resembles the genre, but I'm actually happy that I found Douglas Kruger especially at this point in my life. Something about his approach and expressing creativity at the same time as delivering complex concepts in a comprehensive manner has slowly begun to change my life for the better. Everyone says "be positive" these days, but I'm learning it's much like faith fellowship. We need support and guidance from other like-minded people. Another well done video. Much respect to you Douglas.
DOUGLAS KRUGER: Thank you ever so much for all that you do for others, I have followed you on youtube and I want to congratulate you on your generous heart to give. showers of blessings
I’m not from a South Africa or feeling grinding poverty, but I do feel the squeeze of it. However these tips resonate with me and I am going to follow them. New subscriber

4:16 why ppl affected by poverty struggle to raise their value is explained by historian rutger bregman in a talk called: poverty isn't a lack of character; it's a lack of cash. highly recommend it
In layman terms, continue to improve yourself spiritually, mentally, and physically, that will result in people knowing that they can trust and expect from you the best of what you have to offer.
Great video, but I disagree with BUYING BOOKS vs. borrowing them from the library. It's like buying a gym membership. If you want to exercise, you will find ways to do it and make it a habit without spending a lot of money to go to a gym. I find if I buy a book, usually on sale, or am given it, I will read a few chapters and then that book will sit for a year or two. But if I borrow it, I am now on a deadline to return that book in a couple weeks which is a nice motivator for me. Doing it this way, I usually read about 40-50 books a year.
Douglas is just amazing. He taught me to own the sale and stop being the chef in my own restaurant. I'm forever indebted to him for that small but VERY BIG TIP, that is Life changing for anyone who applies it
Well cooked statements: 1. Raise your personal value, 2. Repay trust with excellence! You just quoted Joseph, one of my favorite characters in the bible...😎
There are many great motivational speakers and I regularly listen to them. But motivation is like putting gas in your car, eventually, it runs out. Douglas is motivational but much more because he offers practical, easy to follow steps that lead to success. In line with this form of thinking I always aim to exceed my client's expectations. To leave them with a WOW feeling and to do that means you must continually raise your value and repay trust with excellence. Both principles are aligned with what I call the two core traits of success- Talent multiplied by Energy squared ( where energy is = drive, ambition, determination, persistence etc) and the second core trait is interpersonal skills (more specifically- the ability to get others to cooperate). Note that Douglas is walking the talk...he is repaying trust with excellence by giving away his book to those who have trusted him and gave up their time to listen to his video. His ability to communicate a clear and positive message is also a sign of his ability to get co-operation. Thanks, Douglas.
Wow! I am blown away by this video. I am a genuis poet, with a great eye for finding and noticing things that can sell for alot of money. There is no reason for me to have times with no money. I am on Amazon Kindle reading loads of books, and go to discount book stores. The universe has blessed me with loads of valuable things and gifts from people, which is wealth just sitting in my house. I am selling as much I can, so I can get rich and experience more and never have to struggle for money. I am also becoming a regular seller now. I will have an abundance of money within a year now cause of this video. Thank you for this video.
I saw a previous video of yours where you were speaking at a university. I was hooked by your knowledge and personality. You're enjoyable to listen to. Thank you!
Ok, you got me! I going to say I just stumbled across your video, but I sense you know that’s not how it works. I appreciate how you sprinkle Principles from the Bible in your teaching. That’s something I would love to get better at. Job well done and of course I’m a new subscriber.
About 2 years ago my wealth was a negative balance of -1300EUR with very negative prospects. I began implementing the excellence principle. Today, I'm a product manager after a series of promotions based on my performance and excellence provided to the trust given.
Really enjoyed the last part where he mentions that 'problems just graduate to newer problems, but that's not a bad thing'. This is something I think everyone oversees, we think if I just get to a certain place or income, all my problems will be solved, it just doesn't work like that. New levels bring new devils 💪🏼😂. Good luck everyone, no matter where you are on your journey 👍🏼
I think the repaying trust with excellence goes more towards one's character. It SHOULD be done by all, of course; but many can't do it because of their nasty attitudes and victim mentality which leads them to an entitlement mentality which leads to laziness and stealing.
@@ntnrocket1 This is very true. I wish people would speak more about those who steal time at work because "it's a big corporation and they deserve it"...yada yada ya 🙄
I took Rabbi Daniel Lapin’s advice and have been reading aloud. It’s far more challenging than one might imagine 😉. The goal is to become proficient in compression, articulation, enunciation and fluidity in one’s speech. I learned as a youth to use trust to my advantage to show excellence. It hasn’t always reaped anything BUT practicing it without fail means I can not put forth any mediocre effort in anything.
I love this guy's voice !! He would be a fantastic voice for relaxation and meditation or even a narrator on documentaries. Very intelligent and amazing advice and presentation, I just love this guy's voice of reasoning and his knowledge and advice too.😊 I love too, the Biblical parallel as well !!💕✨
The Real Issues try saving up a good 10 - 20k and look into something you really like doing and try investing that into a small business, also look into real estate , such as foreclosures as well. Working every day for that 2 week paycheck is not going to take you out of your situation. Best of luck 💯
1: Raise your personal value My interpretation: Knowledge, get a degree if possible or if you want, learn more and more, add softs human skills like public speaking, listening and confidence 2: Repair trust with excellence. My interpretation: Whenever someone gives you something or pay you a small amount of money for something, deliver big time.
I find that I had this "repay trust with excellence" attitude as a young child. It was innate. I lost some of it along the way. Working on getting it back right now. Great Video!
Thanks Douglas. I love how you're using the story from the Bible to enlighten your ideas. You even sounds like a great teacher with such an awesome deliverance. God bless
Interesting. I could have told you all of the same things as this guy, except my goal is different. His is extreme amounts of money to coerce people into doing things. My goal is to exponential increase my wealth and others at the same time, while delegating the management of money to someone I can trust AND minimizing the role of money at the same time. So my goal essentially is extreme poverty and wealth at the same time.
Is the physical book available to US residents? I ended up purchasing the audiobook via Amazon, but I’m more of a physical books guy. Would love to purchase a copy!
Incredible. This is gold and I love principles that are available to all and not just the reach. Adding more value and rewarding trust are gifts anyone can cultivate. It is sure to improve the lives of all who act with it in full faith. Thanks a lot buddy.
Douglas! Just found you today. I love it! I love your message. It’s these tiny steps that really matter. You didn’t go straight for the “target rich environment”. You spend time around the edges... I truly hope it pays you back in spades. 😎
You are a world class motivational speaker. I really admire you and you have helped me get back on track. Thank you so much Mr Kruger.☺ I love your drive its what i had and lost it along the way but thanks to your amazing way of bringing back the spirit endless possibilities. I know i can make it happen! Thanks again. God bless.
Douglas, you’re amazing xxx thank you for sharing. I’m a South African living in Ireland and am in the process of repaying trust with excellence. Your video moved me. Thanks again ❤️
That was the first thing I noticed and it really does devalue his message no matter how good it may or may not be. I can't trust you have my best intentions if you have to rely on cheap tricks to appear well off. Just a major contradiction.
@@percyastronautstatus.8780 A green screen is basically something that lets you change the background of a video. So for example I could film something in my crappy room in Louisiana, USA and use a green screen make it appear as if i'm sitting on a beach in Australia. All I would need is something like a green wall or sheet behind me while I record, and computer software could replace the green with a photo or video of my choosing to make it look like I am actually there.

Alhamdulillah. Thank you so much. You are right in every ways. I should repay the trust with excellence. May health and glory become yours. Greetings from Indonesia. Love the way you speak. We need you more than you know. Thanks again
I love this message. I am struggling with this. I am well educated with 5 Master's degrees. And have always maintained trust and excellence in everything even when I worked at Wendy's and KFC because there were no jobs were I live. How do you maintain trust and faith trying to start an online business with blogging and affiliate marketing?
Thank you, sir! I saw your Ted Talk in escaping poverty and, although I knew a lot of the things you talked about, I didn't know how to connect all the dots. We have been building and you have just given me the keys that connect the dots so we can do more. My wife and I are transforming our community with love and finding that love, responsible nurtured, builds wealth and security in a community. Thank you for helping me understand some of the economics that I wasn't connecting and for your amazing videos!
Thank you so much Douglas for sharing. The first time when I watched a video on you channel I was in the Philippines “Is your Thinking keeping you poor?” and now: “Repay ‘Trust’ with “Excellency” thanks a lot... I’m actually shocked that some people clicked on unlike button... are they so wise that could not learn anything good from Douglas?

Help?
@@paulijswww It was a bit tricky (I guess because so much time has passed), but I found the book in the articles from 2016: www.douglaskruger.com/articles/article-160
I couldn't really figure out how to get to the next article, so I just replaced "article-160" in the link by "article-161" etc. :P
@@lisastawiarski5213 i dont really find the book.
Integrity is the first step to permanent wealth. It all starts with self belief. You feel great about yourself when you do the right thing, give more than what is asked and the universe responds accordingly.
Yes, I need integrity in all the people I deal with.
Is that green screen intergral??
Or, people see you’re an honest person and a hard worker, and take advantage of you so they stay at the top and you don’t.
Yeah in a perfect world maybe.

I Like the Joseph Part! Thanks for touching the profound sacred compassionate man of True Living God!
I never used to read books. That was a huge mistake on my part. Once I found personal development books, I find I like to read.
Also, poverty is ignorance. Reading can enlighten even the most stubborn soul and deliver anyone from poverty!
Readers are leaders.
@@acajudi100 ABSOLUTELY!👊💯
Leaders are readers.
Reading broaden your knowledge and develop your intelligence. The word of God is a good book to start with.
Any book recommendations?
I just came across your TH-cam channel just because the algorithm. I was impressed, what you had to say was very down-to-earth and Common Sense. So since I'm a student of self-improvement I subscribed. Keep doing your thing you did a great job
Me too!
Mr. Douglas, one day you will be the biggest youtuber... Thanks for inspiring me
#1 Raise your personal value
#2 Repay trust with excellence
Well said and great advice. Definitely about reading and researching at the different levels you are at. Thank you for the advice and keep up the great content!!!
I love you . I am not going to poor any more!!!
I just love this teacher!!! I have to get better friends. When I did what he stated in video my life started to change!!!!!!!
Hello Charlene,
Trust this find you well
yesterday i listened to a Jim Rohn video. The advice about raising your value is the same. Jim said: " You get paid for the value you bring to the market not for the time you put".
I just discoverd this author yesterday too. While he was speaking at a University. I swear being poor is a mentality before a status. I figure this out when he showed some biais poors have which keep them away from being wealthy: Money=evil, Money is finite, Rely on governments, play it safe etc...
Hey. Do u love me too??
I moved out of south central Los Angeles. I began to work on these principles and I now live in my dream home in the Suburbs of Los Angeles. Many people never leave and poverty becomes inevitable. Have a vision and focus on it.
Excellent message. Biblical leadership principles. Joseph and the parable of the talents. Love this. Subscribed....buying books too.
Your comment convinced me me to hold on till the end. It turned out that this is one of the best advice I have ever heard this year. Thanks.
Parables are stories and the people in a parable are not real. The message is gold, but the people aren't real.
Why so many people are so poor? Because they either reject or ignore simple obvious truths like the TWO REAL EXPERIMENTS, which are described in the two links below:
th-cam.com/video/BAydFMDKj2Y/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/xX14NK8GrDY/w-d-xo.html
It’s about how we respond to circumstances. One person says “My situation is so bleak, I can’t do anything to get out!” The other says, “My situation was so dire I had no choice but to find a way out.”
I became a felon as a teenager. I got out and started a home care business and married a young lady. I was doing pretty well in my twenties. Then it seemed like everything just went awry...
I went through a divorce and had to sue my business partner all at the same time. The business crumbled and I was left to consult other home care business operators just to make ends meet. I slept on couches for a few years. My credit was shot and I had a toddler to support.
I learned some new skillsets and eventually 5 years later I have an internet based business earning just over $50K/mo.
There were many many days I endured intense depression and I didn’t think it would be a way out...
But there always is.
Please don’t settle for less. If you have a dream write it out then execute it. To try and fail is better than to just settle for mediocrity.
The poor can go to the library in the USA. Actionable steps. It is nice that you are giving something free. Good advice. Blessings.

I think another thing that goes hand in hand with poverty is homelessness. I've been working on ideas with the premise if someone had no money what could they build to survive, a lot of people in the tiny house movement try to develop plans to answer this problem, for example building one out of pallet wood or a shipping container. I was homeless for several years but have a place now but my heart still considers Matthew 25 the parable of the sheep and the goats. I really want to try and end homelessness.
pain is proof of passion or purpose many times, this could be a leading to your assignment you are called to solve.
@@EmmanuelAyeni I think your exactly right, I just need to break free of the rat race so I can work unhindered on a great solution. I have been thinking of getting a completely off grid tiny home with solar wind and hydro power and purchasing an electric car. With those two it could set me up to have free water , electricityand no monthly Bill's for lliving and free fuel for the electric car and gradually adding excess solar panels to make a solar farm could get me checks from the power company for selling them my excess power .
homesonwheelsalliance.org. Bob Wells of Cheap RV living is addressing this problem one van at a time. He has a partner and they work together on this non-profit. I can pay bills and put change away for savings right now. I do try to repay trust with excellence but fall short at times when my idea of excellence doesn't match someone else whom I am working for or with. I am currently donating $12.00 per year to this non-profit to help others until I am ready to move into a van built-out myself, a few years away. One person at a time: it does grow by that person, once helped, paying it forward.
Clay B. Blessings to you.
Tiny homes seem great but today are very expensive excuse they are a fad. Older mobile homes can be bought for very little and sometimes free. They might require $3k to $5k to make livable. Seems like cheapest option. I think churches could develop a program to help with this.
This information is gold. Glad I’m hearing this at 22 years old, I’m always learning and seeking out new knowledge on how to better myself and my finances. Especially since this is free on TH-cam, this is a steal.
Yeeeey me too😊22 yrs old and learning a lot
I love reading. Thanx for being kind and making your book available for free. You have a nice attitude.
"Poverty is a ridiculous problem to have..." Your last sentence really got me!
Yes. Raise your value wherever you are.
Wow, thank you for offering the books for free. So kind of you!
Fantastic! What a kind, generous, warm and loving man this seems to be. First video of D. Kruger I'm watching, but this felt really good! Thank you and may God bless you!
I needed to hear this. And started not to. I played your video by accident, but stayed to listen. I'm 49, recently released from a long prison term, and I just lost my car. I've been walking for weeks (as there is no public transportation in my area), and now I've begun riding a bike. I've had trouble getting (and keeping) jobs, and my girlfriend has been supporting us. Today I've been hired to serve at an IHOP for $12 an hour (soon to be reduced to $6 plus tips when I'm trained). I'm expected to work long hours 6am-4pm and I've been dreading starting it on Monday. I just could not see how I could make anything of it. The only reason I was going to work the job was for my girlfriend. I just don't want to let her down. She inexplicably believes in me... And then I encountered your video. What you talked about was the one thing I did all those years in prison (18 years 9 months); I read and practiced my speaking. But since I was released(3 years ago) the world has slapped me in the face and I've been feeling sorry for myself. Your video renewed my enthusiasm and hope, and gave me something practical I can do. Thank you for your eloquence.
Thank you Douglas Kruger for the work you are doing for South Africans and everyone at large watching it. God bless you even more...
1: you need know how to sell
2. You need know how to make people trust in you.
3. Taking care the trust well
4.make others people rich
5. Make sure living surrounded by rich kindness environment, make sure you live which your neigbours more richer than yours. You sleep peacefull when you know that your neigbours surrounded you is richer than you. But if you rich alone and all surrounded you is poor, then i make sure you will never sleep well.
Its just so easy being rich today compared previous generations. We just too much complained, too much compare our life to others, watching too much soap opera, too much wasting time , too much enterntainment products poisonous, too much want rather than need.
And we too much do nothings, only just watching others life and just commenting on youtube.
This man's voice and accent are too beautiful for me to focus on what he is saying!
Hahaha 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Very correct English.
The moment I heard his voice I thought "This guy is a scammer". No one who has other peoples best interest at heart is this smooth.
@@Trezker And yet everything he just said was truthful.
Right! His voice is so silky, I could listen to him all day.
I grew up with a very negative view of motivational speakers/personal development coaches. The person I knew who was most interested in them even described herself as "vindictive" and "power hungry". Needless to say I've steered clear of anything I think resembles the genre, but I'm actually happy that I found Douglas Kruger especially at this point in my life. Something about his approach and expressing creativity at the same time as delivering complex concepts in a comprehensive manner has slowly begun to change my life for the better. Everyone says "be positive" these days, but I'm learning it's much like faith fellowship. We need support and guidance from other like-minded people. Another well done video. Much respect to you Douglas.
DOUGLAS KRUGER: Thank you ever so much for all that you do for others, I have followed you on youtube and I want to congratulate you on your generous heart to give. showers of blessings
I’m not from a South Africa or feeling grinding poverty, but I do feel the squeeze of it.
However these tips resonate with me and I am going to follow them. New subscriber
I've always raised my value in the workplace. It did not increase my tangible wealth, but it's inherently the thing I do.
I wish there was a way to have others perceive my increases value.
god only knows You're planting seeds. Trust it will come to fruition, just keep at it.

4:16 why ppl affected by poverty struggle to raise their value is explained by historian rutger bregman in a talk called: poverty isn't a lack of character; it's a lack of cash.
highly recommend it
As a South African living overseas I admire you for helping folks back home and farther afield. Well done - great job! All true and do able.
In layman terms, continue to improve yourself spiritually, mentally, and physically, that will result in people knowing that they can trust and expect from you the best of what you have to offer.
This is what I needed. God bless you and your family 🌻❤😍😀
Great video, but I disagree with BUYING BOOKS vs. borrowing them from the library. It's like buying a gym membership. If you want to exercise, you will find ways to do it and make it a habit without spending a lot of money to go to a gym. I find if I buy a book, usually on sale, or am given it, I will read a few chapters and then that book will sit for a year or two. But if I borrow it, I am now on a deadline to return that book in a couple weeks which is a nice motivator for me. Doing it this way, I usually read about 40-50 books a year.
If you are too cheap to buy books, then you are just too cheap. You shouldn’t sacrifice owning good books if they help you grow.
@@DanielK1213th I let Clark County pay for them and I borrow them from the library system.
Douglas is just amazing. He taught me to own the sale and stop being the chef in my own restaurant. I'm forever indebted to him for that small but VERY BIG TIP, that is Life changing for anyone who applies it
Praise God For This Great Wisdom You Are Teaching Sir Douglas ...
This is amazing. You could literally double your income in a few years practicing what he is saying here. I know, I’ve done it!
My man you are an amazing person full of love.God escalate you!!thanks for being honest
Good evening Douglas Kruger i think the whole of South Africa should be listening to you they could learn so much .
Well cooked statements: 1. Raise your personal value, 2. Repay trust with excellence! You just quoted Joseph, one of my favorite characters in the bible...😎
Well done! Teaching the basic personal values of life which South Africans need. Basic tools needed.
i find the way u comminicate very appealing. thought provoking advice too.. thank u!
There are many great motivational speakers and I regularly listen to them. But motivation is like putting gas in your car, eventually, it runs out. Douglas is motivational but much more because he offers practical, easy to follow steps that lead to success. In line with this form of thinking I always aim to exceed my client's expectations. To leave them with a WOW feeling and to do that means you must continually raise your value and repay trust with excellence. Both principles are aligned with what I call the two core traits of success- Talent multiplied by Energy squared ( where energy is = drive, ambition, determination, persistence etc) and the second core trait is interpersonal skills (more specifically- the ability to get others to cooperate). Note that Douglas is walking the talk...he is repaying trust with excellence by giving away his book to those who have trusted him and gave up their time to listen to his video. His ability to communicate a clear and positive message is also a sign of his ability to get co-operation. Thanks, Douglas.
Wow! I am blown away by this video. I am a genuis poet, with a great eye for finding and noticing things that can sell for alot of money. There is no reason for me to have times with no money. I am on Amazon Kindle reading loads of books, and go to discount book stores. The universe has blessed me with loads of valuable things and gifts from people, which is wealth just sitting in my house. I am selling as much I can, so I can get rich and experience more and never have to struggle for money. I am also becoming a regular seller now. I will have an abundance of money within a year now cause of this video.
Thank you for this video.
Wow. This man's voice is like butter on cloud toast.
You're a good man ! May God Bless you Douglas!
I saw a previous video of yours where you were speaking at a university. I was hooked by your knowledge and personality. You're enjoyable to listen to. Thank you!
Ok, you got me! I going to say I just stumbled across your video, but I sense you know that’s not how it works. I appreciate how you sprinkle Principles from the Bible in your teaching. That’s something I would love to get better at. Job well done and of course I’m a new subscriber.
Yeah man, poverty is a ridiculous problem for human species to have. Totally agree.
Thank you for sharing. Will do the same.
I needed to hear some of this so badly. Thank you so much.
About 2 years ago my wealth was a negative balance of -1300EUR with very negative prospects. I began implementing the excellence principle. Today, I'm a product manager after a series of promotions based on my performance and excellence provided to the trust given.
Really enjoyed the last part where he mentions that 'problems just graduate to newer problems, but that's not a bad thing'. This is something I think everyone oversees, we think if I just get to a certain place or income, all my problems will be solved, it just doesn't work like that. New levels bring new devils 💪🏼😂. Good luck everyone, no matter where you are on your journey 👍🏼
New sentence I've learned today
Repay trust with excellence
Good one sir
We can teach to everyone
👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇
Door man to chairman
I think the repaying trust with excellence goes more towards one's character. It SHOULD be done by all, of course; but many can't do it because of their nasty attitudes and victim mentality which leads them to an entitlement mentality which leads to laziness and stealing.
@@ntnrocket1 This is very true. I wish people would speak more about those who steal time at work because "it's a big corporation and they deserve it"...yada yada ya 🙄
Smart man. I've repaid trust with excellence without realizing sometimes.
I took Rabbi Daniel Lapin’s advice and have been reading aloud. It’s far more challenging than one might imagine 😉. The goal is to become proficient in compression, articulation, enunciation and fluidity in one’s speech.
I learned as a youth to use trust to my advantage to show excellence. It hasn’t always reaped anything BUT practicing it without fail means I can not put forth any mediocre effort in anything.
I love this guy's voice !!
He would be a fantastic voice for relaxation and meditation or even a narrator on documentaries.
Very intelligent and amazing advice and presentation, I just love this guy's voice of reasoning and his knowledge and advice too.😊
I love too, the Biblical parallel as well !!💕✨
I do all these things and have for years and am still stuck in poverty. No mater how hard I try it hasn't gotten better
The Real Issues try saving up a good 10 - 20k and look into something you really like doing and try investing that into a small business, also look into real estate , such as foreclosures as well. Working every day for that 2 week paycheck is not going to take you out of your situation. Best of luck 💯
And that's why you're poor 🤷♂️
Reuben Robinson and you’re rich ?
I dont believe u
@@reubenrobinson7957 , she is poor because yhe system is set up in the way that the money just go to the rich.
1: Raise your personal value
My interpretation: Knowledge, get a degree if possible or if you want, learn more and more, add softs human skills like public speaking, listening and confidence
2: Repair trust with excellence.
My interpretation: Whenever someone gives you something or pay you a small amount of money for something, deliver big time.
I find that I had this "repay trust with excellence" attitude as a young child. It was innate. I lost some of it along the way. Working on getting it back right now. Great Video!
Thanks Douglas. I love how you're using the story from the Bible to enlighten your ideas. You even sounds like a great teacher with such an awesome deliverance. God bless
Great spirit, may God blesses u
He has good voice for voice over talent.
Interesting. I could have told you all of the same things as this guy, except my goal is different. His is extreme amounts of money to coerce people into doing things. My goal is to exponential increase my wealth and others at the same time, while delegating the management of money to someone I can trust AND minimizing the role of money at the same time. So my goal essentially is extreme poverty and wealth at the same time.
That advice is excellent. I was trying to relay these ideas to my son the other day, but you phrased it perfectly.
"Repay trust with excellence."
Youre a good person. This is refreshing :) thank you!
Is the physical book available to US residents? I ended up purchasing the audiobook via Amazon, but I’m more of a physical books guy. Would love to purchase a copy!
Incredible. This is gold and I love principles that are available to all and not just the reach. Adding more value and rewarding trust are gifts anyone can cultivate. It is sure to improve the lives of all who act with it in full faith. Thanks a lot buddy.

Lets talk about the fact that is background is a greenscreen...
It is
His eyes in 144p looks like devil
It’s says a lot about his message
STill, what he says is true.

His advice here is phenomenal
That was the first thing I noticed and it really does devalue his message no matter how good it may or may not be. I can't trust you have my best intentions if you have to rely on cheap tricks to appear well off. Just a major contradiction.
Are we just going to pretend this guy isn't using a greenscreen?
Checked after you and several others mentioned it. How can a person tell for sure?
What is a greenscreen??
@@percyastronautstatus.8780 A green screen is basically something that lets you change the background of a video. So for example I could film something in my crappy room in Louisiana, USA and use a green screen make it appear as if i'm sitting on a beach in Australia. All I would need is something like a green wall or sheet behind me while I record, and computer software could replace the green with a photo or video of my choosing to make it look like I am actually there.
@@crappyaccount your crappy room....lol........but maybe he don't want to fiilm the inside of his house because he have nice shit in it ....like ..gold

Thank you, sir! I saw your Ted Talk in escaping poverty and, although I knew a lot of the things you talked about, I didn't know how to connect all the dots. We have been building and you have just given me the keys that connect the dots so we can do more.
