Cole, you didn’t need to call me out so loudly in front of the whole internet like this!! 💀😭
So sorry lol
I thought he was talking to me.
Same here 😅
Same here 😂😂😂
I am sorry, Cole, I left this video at 1:02
good job
Completely hear you on productive procrastination. Important reminder. People can stand in their own way for more reasons than "not really wanting the thing". There are a lot of things I want and am working towards. I stumble, not because I don't really want them but because trauma has made my brain a hostile place. A mind turned on itself. I'm still working towards my dreams. Just reminding the world that stumbling is not always about a lack of desire. Your mental health matters. Be kind to yourself and find the ways that work for you to "do the thing." Much Love and Light
Exactly!
Watched the video, set up my Freedom session to block out distractions, opened a text editor and started writing. Thanks for keeping the video short (so I am not tempted by productive procrastination). You're the best Cole
you’re spot on, so true 🙂
Reading us all to filth
I'm sharing this with so many people😅. People sometimes told me that I made such sacrifices, but when you're doing Your Thing it's NOT a sacrifice because you're working towards your goal and not going out as often, buying new or buying new clothes (when you're a student) didn't feel like a sacrifice at all.
As an adult with a family I feel a bit more cultural pressure to do things like cooking and cleaning.
your right.
I love this.
Loved this one. Gotta do the thing 👊
I just got back from the ER after getting whacked across the head with this video. When you are right, you are right. Gotta go and do the thing!
I hope your head is ok.
@@nicolascole77 😄
Spot on! Thanks for the "tough love" and honesty.
Just what I needed to hear right now. Thanks, Cole
Cole, I really like this kind of content.
People need self-awareness. People need a right mindset to start writing and to start building things. They have so many faulty beliefs that hinder them to start working.
So I really appreciate such kind of videos, keep going.
Btw, 1-3-1
1-3-1!
@@nicolascole77 1-3-1 sequence of starting an introduction of a piece of writing. I've learned it from you. I just used it in my comment. Noticed?
COLE ❤️❤️
🤦🏾Hi Cole, I have to go do the thing 😅
I'm getting Shia Lebueaf vibes right about now.
That's the goal.
Thanks for the rebuke. Much needed.
Uncle Cole on a tear recently
Love it.
Me, literally right now.
Yeah, this reminds me that I need to get back to the Online Writing and PGA courses that I fell off of this week. Great timing!
Word!! Maybe we also need to find out the reason(s) why we are not doing the thing despite knowing that we should.
Wow, this video talked directly to me .. Thanks Nocolas 😄
The reason they say they want it and then don't do it is because they don't really know what they want, so they say they want something that others told them they should want. They won't do it. They need to find the courage to tell the truth, to start looking for what they really want, and then to do it.
Ouch - that hit hard, but in a good way. My issue is a want too many things at once and whilst I have successful achieved (and obtained) many of the things I want in life; I need to take your advice and narrow down my focus and invest my thoughts and actions in the one or two projects. Thank you for the reminder to do less, better.
man i want to be a good writer man like you. wow
Super
Oh you’re loud today. I didn’t need to be called out like that omg 😂
That is great and true......... I need to isolate myself for writing and animation. Thats is the way I get productive. We build so many distractors into "Smart" phones I only use my phone sparingly and for business.
I understand that, I think for me as long as I’m not working at it it’s still a dream, I haven’t failed yet so it’s not my fault if I do but that needs to change.
Did the thing. Watched the video. Now doing more of the thing.
yes its true man i watch a videos like that.
Totally, I can’t remember the last time I had so many things I want to do but can’t do because I want to do the thing much more than anything else. I know that thing will be the thing that makes me a thing in my industry🎉 thanks you Nicolas
We all want the benefits... nobody wants to manage the responsability. Dho!!!
❤ 🎉 ❤ 🎉 ❤ 🎉 ❤ 🎉 ❤ 🎉 ❤ 🎉
Thank you for busting our chops in the best way: as honestly and forthrightly as possible.
"It takes more work than most of us tell ourselves."
Ok. I'm heading off to do the thing(s) now.
Thank you!
I needed this level of maturity. Because it's not about motivation. No motivational speaker can do the work for us. It's our work.
But they sure will try to squeeze out our expense budget to tell us exactly that, eventually.
And who can blame them?
That's their work.
More power to us all.
Cheers to your success!
Cole is actually one of the goats.
In my defence I’m watching on the toilet in-between doing the thing 😅
I think this often means that the thing is not right for you and you should pick another thing. I used to say I was gonna make content aboht comedy writinf and funny coouwriting but it just didn't excite me enough. Last year I realized I wanted something completely different, and this year I started making content as a friendship coach for men. I'm doing the thing, and it's completely different from the thing I thought I wanted.
Figure out what the thing should be for you. What do you REALLY want? What gives you purpose? What truly stimulates you?
Interesting new direction, Cole.
Did this grow out of frustration from saying the same thing? People do need to be shaken out of inertia.
Loving the new direction!
Just a thought...but when starting a new adventure, building a new skill...keep your vision small to start.
Find out if you want It.
Get feedback and carefully think about It.
It...takes twice as long, costs twice a much (even for Unicorns!).
Yes, we are all prisoners of our ideas.
Phew, thank god he gave us permission to procrastinate
This would be great when a person drops/doesn't convert.
The reason is: it holds up the mirror.
Left at 1:00 and went on to do the thing.
I say I want but I don't.
Uncle Cole out here's tired of all our BS as we proactively sit here not doing the thing 😅
Listen buddy... SIGH... FIIIINEEE
This video would be great if it added motivational music
If I wanna hear shit like this I’ll go to church
The thing awaits me but I'm telling it hold on a second k?
if you encourage me to stop watching, fine, ill just grab your book then and START STARTING
What's your 'thing'?
What about work life balance. Vacations are so important to refresh and recharge. Obsession with 'doing your thing' only leads to burn out. Social media is not all bad ,so we can chill with music , interesting posts and videos.
😫😩😫
You look good with or without beard though ask the girls wait you just got married CONGRATULATIONS
BETTER HOPE WIFEY LIKES THE BEARDY!
I love writing but i have not much of an idea how to generate money out of it
Wanna see what i wrote? :D
You’re right, I want to unsubscribe
