I like your TH-cam channel very much and you give me sometimes new interesting ideas that I can implement in my own life/(day schedule). But others see your videos, listen to your message, think about it and probably forget them. Why, because proof of your ideas doesn't exist. You just talk. Try to track your accomplishments and share them, thus people don't listen to you like to a lifestyle "guru".
@don o Focus on the abundance, not on the lack. What you focus on, you will see in your world. Since you can’t take in everything around you, your reticular activation system - your focus system in the mind - will bring into focus what you focus your thoughts on. This will allow you to see the abundance in your world that you may be missing right now. If you, for instance, have a lack of money, then don’t focus on your lack. Focus and think about the abundance of possibilities in the world to make money. Soon ideas and opportunities to make that happen will start to “pop up” in your world. It’s almost a bit freaky how things that hold solutions for you - perhaps books or acquaintances - that have been there in the background for quite a while just one day suddenly jump out at you. P.s. if you really want to learn about all this you just need to study and apply and repeat.
@@liamc1102 great advice! I'd love to discuss this at length with you. Too bad the TH-cam chat is gone 😔 How do you harden or reinforce a positive mindset such as this? I sometimes find my positivity waning and end up back at inaction
Thank you! Glad to hear someone else say this. I’ve always thrown myself into things, everything from business ideas to travel, I just do it and figure the rest out later. Some people think I’m a little crazy but it’s always worked for me and it keeps life fun!
Me too!!!!! My dad always says "he has to learn the hard way" I look at it as "I learn the HARD way" cause you gotta be kinda tough to jump head first into things ;)

A change in mindset will literally change every aspect of your life. You can choose to have a negative or positive mindset and that is the deciding factor in a happy life.
I used to be that guy who talks about trying to accomplish my goals and just fall back on my couch and procrastinate. I now transformed my mindset where I am always itching to finish something I started, I live in uncomfortable situations rather than seeking comfort and so far it transformed my perspective in life. You are one of my motivators in life man :D
Dude. Thank you. I'm 18 and have been in this 'paralysis by analysis' state for two years. I wanted to lose weight at one point, so I spent weeks finding the best weight loss program out there, but I ended up doing nothing. The same thing has happened with my passion, music. I haven't released any music because I'm trying to completely perfect it before I show it to the world, this has lead me to release nothing. It's time to do something, release this song I have, and go from there. Do the thing and you'll have the power - Ralph Waldo Emerson. Thanks man.
If you are still looking at ways to lose weight, just know that whatever way you try, at the end of the days its just about eating less kcal then you burn.
Pain of failure definitely teaches faster and helps to grow a thick skin. at the end of the day: *knowledge is potential power, applied knowledge is true power.*
You’re videos radiate a certain energy that makes me motivated, hopeful and happy. You seem like a person that I is very approachable and I wish more people were like you. Imagine if everyone radiated this energy...

I was born with this mindset. There is a downside to it. You will be wildly successful at a lot of things, but you also get severely burned. You mention an example of a social gaffe, but it's a bit different when it's a million dollar burn. There is a line you need to find on when you need to plan and when you take action. My most recent examples are taking on WAY TOO MANY research projects at once. I'm overworked and still accepting projects with authorship in return. I've found a fine line where I'm falling behind on projects with people depending on my expertise but unable to deliver on my promises. I may burn valuable bridges in this process. Overall I agree with your message but I believe it also deserves a bit further thought and should be taken as a general guideline, but factoring in your situation.

Action is definitely the way of moving you forward and getting things done, although planning does have its place at the right time because without it.... yep you will get burned!

It's a great mindset. I realised this years ago after dealing with choice anxiety, so I joined the army, then did a bachelor in psych, a masters in film, started a business whilst at the same time doing another masters in counselling. Better than still being stuck in that choice anxiety mode. Totally agree with you.
@@spcaboss Because the ad was IN the video. An entire minute 30 of it. and then another minute to talk about his channel. 25% of the entire video, was ad. Not to mention, the youtube ads themselves. So yeah, stretching it past 10 minutes would have been insulting.
Heelcather stretching it past 10 minutes, with ads (useless fluff that brings no value to the video) , so that you can make even more money? Yeah, it’s god damn insulting. It’s insulting all his viewers. Why do you think there are always comments like this when a TH-camr doesn’t fill his video with useless shit, just to get above the 10 minute mark?
Heelcather bahaha. It’s insulting to the majority of TH-cam viewers that have a brain. Stretching out a video for no actual reason or added value, just so you can capitalize even more on it, is insulting on its face. Especially with 1/4 of the video is already an ad, AND the video has 2 ads before it even begins. You’re such a maroon
I talked about starting a TH-cam channel... no one cared or believed in me. Now that I've finally hit 1,000 subscribers after 6 months of uploading, people are congratulating me and suddenly care! Actions are louder than words.
Great video. Comfort and fear of failure kept me from switching careers and trying something new. ( for years ) But one day I just did a 180 and just did it. Which is crazy. I went from running a martial arts school and teaching Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to getting in to programming late in my thirties. I get haters daily that it’s to late and I won’t succeed because I am older. Or something stupid like that. But like you said shoot first ask questions later. People wonder why I quit being a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instructor. Which is a pretty good job especially if you are successful. 1. It hurts 2. Can’t do it remotely 3. I love coding and making stuff Find your own path and don’t let haters hold you down.
Joey Every time I watch some of your older videos it blows me away w how much wisdom and your ACTION videos. Love your personal practical shares of experience like the "gossip story" .. things like this make you superior in what you do and sharing your fails as well as your successes make one realize what an AMAZING PERSON YOU REALLY ARE!

Your channel has to be one of the best for 'self-help'. It's no-nonsense and comes across as genuine rather than a channel feeding you a little info as a means to promote a bunch of bullshit. Love it.
I see that we have to find the balance between planning and taking actions, cause sometime taking action without giving it a thought gonna take your life away
My parents have always steered me away from this and always emphasized the importance of planning to me. For some reason, it never resonated with me, maybe since our house is the one covered in unfinished projects and hoarded items. Constantly thinking about things has fed my anxiety disorders and overall started turning me into my parents, however, I know that taking action is a much better mindset-- the issue I have with getting on my feet is having lived through a childhood where I couldn't experiment on anything for myself without my parents steering me away from that thing. As a result, I lost many opportunities and overall just missed out on childhood. Only when I moved away to attend university did I get happy and walk out of my first semester with a 3.65, deciding to double major in music tech and CS. I only backpacked in the blue ridge mountains for 4 days because I said, "fuck it," and went ahead and did it. I'm generally much happier without my parents telling me all the downsides of everything I discuss, and try to avoid talking about my plans. TL;DR: The mindset in this video is 100% true. It is empowering and makes you feel so much happier with yourself in the long run, regardless of the outcome of the impulsive decision made. Thanks for this video, I needed a reminder since I've been stuck with my parents for a month on the winter holiday!
I have the same problem... I legit can’t do anything I want and figure out if I’m capable because my parents decide what happens and when it happens... I can’t even get a job or go to a friends house without them butting in and making the decisions for me
"you'll learn faster by doing rather than by reading about it, watching a video abou-" *crashing noises as I make my way out of the house ignoring the rest of youtube forever*
@@martineden7075 Sometimes my mind is unclear anticipating things that will happen and thinking about all the possibilities plus so much information we get on internet. It triggers my anxiety. I start to panic then when I am feeling down i watch his videos and remember the mindset i have to focus on even if i make mistakes and fail.
@@lyzgomes5960 Yeah, good approach! Also, i would recommend to share your thoughts with your family and friends! They are also helpful in looking at you from another perspective!
What you said is just what I needed to do in almost 2 years of just reading and thinking which way to take... Ahhh, it's so damn breaking feeling, but I recently just hopped into a way, and this is the best decision I did, and I'm waiting for what doors this would open to me later. Thank you a lot! 🌺
I love you Your one of the few inspirational TH-camrs that is actually down to earth And by using examples that the average Joe can relate to, you easily connect and get their attention Plus you never talk about ways to make money or start a business instead you focus on giving people the mindset to be better and improve themselves Love you man, keep up the great work
Motivational channels always have highly convincing video titles. But after watching it u feel even more confused. But ur videos have quality that matches ur titles. I can take away atleast one precious thing from each video of urs. Hats off.
Totally saw the video in my feed. Liked the title. So glad I clicked on it. I've been an action taker all my life. First time I got knocked down and couldn't get back up. Watched another one of your videos. I gotta say i'm doing better than I was yesterday lol.
you're the reason why i bought the war of art book :) now me and my boyfriend go on about each other about fighting the resistance haha so thank you - now we're on the right mindset edit: also omg. i recognized the bins you had ahhaha! Surrey BC?! neighbooooor
at 7:35 you really got me. Really got me. That's EXACTLY what I've been doing for the past 5 or 6 years. I just realised how afraid I am of taking action. Thank you for bringing this into my consciousness! I appreciate your voice and the pace you speak.
I totally agree with this I always say to people school is great but once you begin experiencing your career you learn more than you could ever learn from a book.
"If Edison had a needle to find in a haystack, he would proceed at once with the diligence of the bee to examine straw after straw until he found the object of his search... I was a sorry witness of such doings, knowing that a little theory and calculation would have saved him ninety per cent of his labor." - Nikola Tesla What I mean by this quote is that the shoot-first mentality is like Edison searching for that needle. The reason Better Ideas uses this method is to seed out ideas that contradict each other and find which is the truth. The reason shoot-first succeeds in this is that it reality-checks the idea. A different approach would be to test out the conflicting ideas and this way come to understand which is real or if either aren't. Knowing this, one doesn't need to always use trial and error as it uses too much time.
so another way to put it, in edison case, if just he use shoot-first mentality in a proper way, after counting the 1000th straw, he should assess that his diligence and labor isn't effective and efficient as it uses too much time, and should've come into realization and right ideas of how to strategize his next action, rather than keep going blindly doing trial and error till the 100,000th straw. As if he didn't even inspect any of the straw and being too busy with planning and theorizing without experiencing the "action" (the field of work, the reality) he would also theorize blindly, doing trial and error in his mind making 100,000 ideas and end up wasting time also. Is that what you mean? then the idea is the "balance", because sometimes people think too much, but there's exist people that act too much too, and see an act of thinking as blatantly useless and waste of time, similar to those people who when they still in school dislike studying , got a bad grades then justify it with "i'm more a practitioner" things, which nikola tesla said "knowing that a little theory and calculation would have saved him ninety per cent of his labor". so the vibe of this video is like a wisdom that suitable for this generation, but not an everlasting principle that can be applied across time, since the phenomenon of over thinking, over planning, people lacking action isn't happening in the 19th century where there's lack of knowledge and people can only "shoot first" because there's no available information, and for those people "think first mentality" would be more suitable
Alan watts view on life : dont take it to seriously Jordan petersons views on life: life is suffering Both are rather impressive.

Great Video! Especially, your example with the diets. Even there your "shoot-first mentality" works. After reading many contradictory studies and anecdotes about diets, I decided to always try it myself and see how it works! It requires a lot of testing but I am a scientist and love experiments :D
Dude, I am so happy I found you. It's not just what you're saying, which is in of itself is enlightening, but the way you present, the way you sometimes sort of self deprecate helps me relate.
THANK YOU! This was the final piece to the puzzle when it came to figuring out how to fix the problems I’m currently having. I wanted to make change in my life, but I would too often spend time contemplating on the perfect way to fix it. Now, I’m feeling much better.

Better than still being stuck in that choice anxiety mode. Totally agree with you.
"Do the thing and you will get the power". Clever words!
Yes. 🙌🏼 Wisdom comes from (taking consistent, imperfect, messy) ACTION; not thought.
You didn't stretch the video past 10mins even though it was already 9:55. That speaks.
Pankaj Kumar yeah. Because 1.5 minutes was an ad and then stretched it another minute to talk about his channel. You’re right. That speaks
@@egeniojaramillo9048 nah one ad at the start for me. If he made it to 10mins he would have gotten more than that
@@spcaboss Because the ad was IN the video. An entire minute 30 of it. and then another minute to talk about his channel. 25% of the entire video, was ad. Not to mention, the youtube ads themselves. So yeah, stretching it past 10 minutes would have been insulting.
Heelcather stretching it past 10 minutes, with ads (useless fluff that brings no value to the video) , so that you can make even more money? Yeah, it’s god damn insulting. It’s insulting all his viewers. Why do you think there are always comments like this when a TH-camr doesn’t fill his video with useless shit, just to get above the 10 minute mark?
Heelcather bahaha. It’s insulting to the majority of TH-cam viewers that have a brain. Stretching out a video for no actual reason or added value, just so you can capitalize even more on it, is insulting on its face. Especially with 1/4 of the video is already an ad, AND the video has 2 ads before it even begins. You’re such a maroon
I talked about starting a TH-cam channel... no one cared or believed in me.
Now that I've finally hit 1,000 subscribers after 6 months of uploading, people are congratulating me and suddenly care! Actions are louder than words.
Great video. Comfort and fear of failure kept me from switching careers and trying something new. ( for years )
But one day I just did a 180 and just did it.
Which is crazy.
I went from running a martial arts school and teaching Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to getting in to programming late in my thirties.
I get haters daily that it’s to late and I won’t succeed because I am older. Or something stupid like that.
But like you said shoot first ask questions later.
People wonder why I quit being a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instructor. Which is a pretty good job especially if you are successful.
1. It hurts
2. Can’t do it remotely
3. I love coding and making stuff
Find your own path and don’t let haters hold you down.

Every time I watch some of your older videos it blows me away w how much wisdom and your ACTION videos. Love your personal practical shares of experience like the "gossip story" .. things like this make you superior in what you do and sharing your fails as well as your successes make one realize what an AMAZING PERSON YOU REALLY ARE! THANK YOU JOEY for getting the world moving again... and helping us fighting thru the depression without falling into that ruminating rut. Blessings and may the universe give you all you wish for for helping others!

Your channel has to be one of the best for 'self-help'. It's no-nonsense and comes across as genuine rather than a channel feeding you a little info as a means to promote a bunch of bullshit. Love it.
I see that we have to find the balance between planning and taking actions, cause sometime taking action without giving it a thought gonna take your life away
My parents have always steered me away from this and always emphasized the importance of planning to me. For some reason, it never resonated with me, maybe since our house is the one covered in unfinished projects and hoarded items. Constantly thinking about things has fed my anxiety disorders and overall started turning me into my parents, however, I know that taking action is a much better mindset-- the issue I have with getting on my feet is having lived through a childhood where I couldn't experiment on anything for myself without my parents steering me away from that thing. As a result, I lost many opportunities and overall just missed out on childhood.
Only when I moved away to attend university did I get happy and walk out of my first semester with a 3.65, deciding to double major in music tech and CS. I only backpacked in the blue ridge mountains for 4 days because I said, "fuck it," and went ahead and did it. I'm generally much happier without my parents telling me all the downsides of everything I discuss, and try to avoid talking about my plans.
TL;DR: The mindset in this video is 100% true. It is empowering and makes you feel so much happier with yourself in the long run, regardless of the outcome of the impulsive decision made. Thanks for this video, I needed a reminder since I've been stuck with my parents for a month on the winter holiday!
I have the same problem... I legit can’t do anything I want and figure out if I’m capable because my parents decide what happens and when it happens... I can’t even get a job or go to a friends house without them butting in and making the decisions for me
This sounds so much like my dad.
This is like the only selfimprovement channel on TH-cam that actually gives me useful information. Keep up the great work !
Dude honestly you are the BEST self improvement channel
Dude thanks for helping me out in the worst of my depressive slumps.
Rather than obsessively deliberating over what path to take, just start to walk one.
🔥🔥🔥
This is awesome !
"you'll learn faster by doing rather than by reading about it, watching a video abou-" *crashing noises as I make my way out of the house ignoring the rest of youtube forever*
FREEDOM!
This man just talk in front of a camera & changed my life in a few days and I am so thankful to found you on TH-cam!
I will watch and listen this video again and again. For a long time i am suffering from this - Cannot take Action.
I've been making a crap ton of content for my brand recently thanks to you. You make me not overthink stuff and I love it!
Your videos keep me motivated in my darkest times.
There is no dark times, there are times you want a progress!
@@martineden7075 Sometimes my mind is unclear anticipating things that will happen and thinking about all the possibilities plus so much information we get on internet. It triggers my anxiety. I start to panic then when I am feeling down i watch his videos and remember the mindset i have to focus on even if i make mistakes and fail.
@@lyzgomes5960 Yeah, good approach! Also, i would recommend to share your thoughts with your family and friends! They are also helpful in looking at you from another perspective!
"Fire from the hip, stop reading about it and just DO IT"
"Also, try this Audible:____"
O.O
@@KudosForYou hmm, what? 😦
I like his advice and transparency about going through self development
You're so real I really believe everything u say.. thanks man
What you said is just what I needed to do in almost 2 years of just reading and thinking which way to take...
Ahhh, it's so damn breaking feeling, but I recently just hopped into a way, and this is the best decision I did, and I'm waiting for what doors this would open to me later.
Thank you a lot! 🌺
I love you
Your one of the few inspirational TH-camrs that is actually down to earth
And by using examples that the average Joe can relate to, you easily connect and get their attention
Plus you never talk about ways to make money or start a business instead you focus on giving people the mindset to be better and improve themselves
Love you man, keep up the great work
"Nothing else will move anything other than action."
You killed me right there.
I`m a pathetic Mr.Richinmythoaghts.
Thank you, this was very helpful. I developed the bad habit of overthinking everything
Motivational channels always have highly convincing video titles. But after watching it u feel even more confused. But ur videos have quality that matches ur titles. I can take away atleast one precious thing from each video of urs. Hats off.
I'd like to thank you for all the wise advice you've put on TH-cam, its very obvious you put time and effort into these.
Luigi_125 that’s facts
Action speaks louder then words
-some guy
Ha clever
I love nothing but eating ass
I bet that guy spelled "than" correctly though.
Days of French 'n' Swedish what if there's a comma after then...
@@wastedtalentinc8007 Actually it would have to be BEFORE then, not after it.
But even so, still no.
"If you never learned to take action, your ideas will always be just that... ideas."
do the things you will get power
Totally saw the video in my feed. Liked the title. So glad I clicked on it. I've been an action taker all my life. First time I got knocked down and couldn't get back up. Watched another one of your videos. I gotta say i'm doing better than I was yesterday lol.
"If you never learnt to take action, then your ideas will always remain just that. Ideas" which is why I'm watching BETTER IDEAS
Make decisions quickly, and change them slowly
Good point.
you're the reason why i bought the war of art book :)
now me and my boyfriend go on about each other about fighting the resistance haha
so thank you - now we're on the right mindset
edit: also omg. i recognized the bins you had ahhaha! Surrey BC?! neighbooooor
Hahahaha that's hilarious that you now know where I live because of the garbage/recycling bins. Excellent detective work.
Detective'd
I too want to move to the productive neighborhood™ 😥😂
Better Ideas did u smash camacho girl tho?
at 7:35 you really got me. Really got me. That's EXACTLY what I've been doing for the past 5 or 6 years. I just realised how afraid I am of taking action. Thank you for bringing this into my consciousness! I appreciate your voice and the pace you speak.
I totally agree with this I always say to people school is great but once you begin experiencing your career you learn more than you could ever learn from a book.
So basically you're telling me to leap first, think later?
Got it.
*jumps off cliff
now think about ur mistake on the way down
stop thinking too much***
@@bvgaboo3572 embraces thinking even more
As someone who has fallen from a cliff before.. don’t do it, it hurts
username 156 RIP brother!
"If Edison had a needle to find in a haystack, he would proceed at once with the diligence of the bee to examine straw after straw until he found the object of his search... I was a sorry witness of such doings, knowing that a little theory and calculation would have saved him ninety per cent of his labor." - Nikola Tesla
What I mean by this quote is that the shoot-first mentality is like Edison searching for that needle. The reason Better Ideas uses this method is to seed out ideas that contradict each other and find which is the truth.
The reason shoot-first succeeds in this is that it reality-checks the idea. A different approach would be to test out the conflicting ideas and this way come to understand which is real or if either aren't. Knowing this, one doesn't need to always use trial and error as it uses too much time.
so another way to put it, in edison case, if just he use shoot-first mentality in a proper way, after counting the 1000th straw, he should assess that his diligence and labor isn't effective and efficient as it uses too much time, and should've come into realization and right ideas of how to strategize his next action, rather than keep going blindly doing trial and error till the 100,000th straw. As if he didn't even inspect any of the straw and being too busy with planning and theorizing without experiencing the "action" (the field of work, the reality) he would also theorize blindly, doing trial and error in his mind making 100,000 ideas and end up wasting time also.
Is that what you mean?
then the idea is the "balance", because sometimes people think too much, but there's exist people that act too much too, and see an act of thinking as blatantly useless and waste of time, similar to those people who when they still in school dislike studying , got a bad grades then justify it with "i'm more a practitioner" things, which nikola tesla said "knowing that a little theory and calculation would have saved him ninety per cent of his labor".
so the vibe of this video is like a wisdom that suitable for this generation, but not an everlasting principle that can be applied across time, since the phenomenon of over thinking, over planning, people lacking action isn't happening in the 19th century where there's lack of knowledge and people can only "shoot first" because there's no available information, and for those people "think first mentality" would be more suitable
@@KudosForYou You make some solid points. It's exactly like that.
Alan watts view on life : dont take it to seriously
Jordan petersons views on life: life is suffering
Both are rather impressive. They just managed to figure out what worked best for them at there time of life.
Knowing how to jump head first and knowing how think about the situation is amazing
Knowing how to analyze those who jump head first and knowing how to analyze those who thing is great
Having the abilities to do these things is wonderful, the issue comes with figuring out how to apply the information irl and when to switch to the "correct"/valued option
Would either of you know anyone/any videos that might explain how to know the right moment for the right scenario?
@@steampunkhulk5559 Search for OODA loop. It means Observe, Orient, Decide, Act.
It speaks for itself but basically, first you observe what's happening in the situation you're in. Then orient yourself where you stand in the scene. Afterwards there typically are multiple choices. You decide on one of the cases. Then you act on your decision.
@@GeorgiDimitrovX alright thanks for the help
Agile mindset works as long as it doesn't bring too much responsibilities with it. Starting company just because "have to take action" will be very costly to you if you dont know what you are doing. Happened to me 🙌 before signing a paper what brings you tons of debt, make sure you know what you do
Exactly, adopting an action and experiencing it is way better than a million search

This is the personality type "adventurer" by Myre Briggs.
I've gotten a lot out of your videos, so from the bottom of my heart, genuinely, thank you.
This is the grounding I needed that's digestible. Thank you.
Just found your channel about a week ago (from a recommendation on a David Goggins video ironically). I've been implementing some of the tips from the trick your brain into doing hard things vid, and I have seen some incremental progress. Thanks for putting these videos out there.
Could talked for five more seconds and get that youtube ad but didn't, respect and subbed
Great Video! Especially, your example with the diets. Even there your "shoot-first mentality" works. After reading many contradictory studies and anecdotes about diets, I decided to always try it myself and see how it works! It requires a lot of testing but I am a scientist and love experiments :D
This man is the only person who can actually understand my mentality and make it simple in a way I understand it myself
Dude, I am so happy I found you. It's not just what you're saying, which is in of itself is enlightening, but the way you present, the way you sometimes sort of self deprecate helps me relate.
Pleasure of mine practising English and simultaneously learn ing something thru your vids ! Thanks a lot. I am French.
CHRISTIAN DE PROVENCE practicing* props bro learning a second language takes work
Practical- Try and experience first, learn faster
Don’t do it Theoritically -Rather than reading
Awesome! You should make videos more frequently
THANK YOU! This was the final piece to the puzzle when it came to figuring out how to fix the problems I’m currently having. I wanted to make change in my life, but I would too often spend time contemplating on the perfect way to fix it. Now, I’m feeling much better. Thank you for starting me on the right foot with my journey of living a better life!
Decision paralysis is very difficult to overcome. Especially when you have low self esteem and no idea what you're doing.
