These were the videos that changed everything, so I thought I'd organize them in a way that makes the most sense (so you don't have to watch them in a random order). Thank you to everyone that has been here since then. Rewatching these has made me realize how much the videos have changed (some good, some bad). It's given me some ideas :)
I literally went back a couple days ago and watched a few of the videos I first watched a year or 2 ago. You really have come so far! I love seeing your growth. It’s so inspiring. I miss this Dan sometimes tho 😅
Thank you mate for putting out all this information over the past year! It has helped me a lot with my two creative projects that I am currently working on in my spare time.
For me they were the ones that summed up everything that I'd been feeling and thinking for years, but couldn't put in words. They made me feel like it was possible and I wasn't dreaming an impossible dream. @@chrisallwhite
Dan, I just wanted to let you know (even though I'm sure you must have heard it a thousand times), I do not know a single content creator that has delivered as much concrete, hands on advice in such a listenable and enjoyable way. I cannot even go on walks while listening to your stuff anymore, because I basically have to grab my phone every 30 seconds to write something down that has inspired, enriched or enlightened me. Good work man.
The irony is that he says that he doesn't consider him enlightened which makes me laugh since we're almost the same age and yet we see the world so differently. The man has a way to tie concepts and educational ideas together that makes him of the best creators on the platform. Kudos to Dan!
OMG, Dan, thank you. I’m 64. I never want to stop learning. I am a digital designer and artist. Your content inspires and encourages me to keep building every day. Your videos are perfect for learning to take action and be valuable. Keep going 🙌
👏👏👏 I am 60 this year. I’m just tuning in to Dan’s work, but it makes so much sense to me. I am launching myself brand new into the world this year. All the things that I’ve been wanting to create, or wanting to be created right now. I’m super excited to put into action all this wisdom and learning from Dan. Thank you, Dan.⚡️💛⚡️
@@GeminiDragons brilliant! Midst all the scarcity and the fear mongering that's prevalent on social media, to be part of this conversation right here is something I'm grateful for. Wishing all the happiness and success to every person on this journey 🙏🏼❤️
Hey Dan, one of the "outsiders" here (female, 53, Europe). What I like about your content the most is that you are so articulated and clear, persuasive, but not manipulative. There is so much to learn and you are a great teacher. I completely changed my whole worldview 2021, and it's been a ride since then. I just wanted to thank you for being here (value!!!) and tell everyone else: it's never too late to start to build the life of your dreams, never too late to learn what you need to know and never too late to change your perspective(s)!

I'm a boomer and have eventually started "productise" myself and I'm loving it. I don't believe that a one's age is a criteria to start it - I mean it should not be. Boomers are lost in today's digitalisation all around the world - and it's not good - as they can't find "their place" in the "product-like" world.

I'm 34 years old. I live in South Africa. Our economy is shot. I've always known there must be a way to make it online. Thank you for ordering things and putting it into perspective. I have started writing.
Hey 👋 I’m 57, female and totally Dan’s demographic! It’s way easier to launch as a solopreneur now than in the 80s/90s. Back then a handheld information device was just a fever dream of Douglas Adams 😉 What us GenXers have is mountains of knowledge and experience we can put to good use …
For a 50 something who has decided to work within her true alignment, this video is like you have confirmed my thoughts and approach to how I want to be whilst building a business. It's like I am having a 1:1 session. Thank you so much Dan for your pure gold of value. I also love your approach and persona , no gimmicks, totally transparent. My life experience of giving service as a nurse, community/project work long with working on my spiritual journey has now lead my next chapter to build a business- solo and to craft and build a successful business. Thank you
Woman, 54 years of age, living in Europe, certainly not your demographic. But loving your message non the less. Back then we had only books and advice from the elderly. Hahaha.

Here I am again, your 64-year-old outlier making a living online and answerable to NO-ONE :) You are so right about education. I just quit an online Masters course after one module as it was so badly delivered. I don’t learn through dull PowerPoints with a narrator that is rushing through to get home and a list of boring text books. I spent most of the module listening to great videos here where things were explained so much better.
I'm 61 years old with a son almost twice your age and I just adore you! You've got such an intelligent, easy-to-listen-to, and make-sense attitude! I am learning so much. I've been struggling to become a solopreneur for years! With your videos, I have the confidence to move forward correctly! Thanks, Dan!😘

How to make myself into a business . Can’t figure it out as yet I did once and ended up owing $100000 in taxes. I never recovered . Now at retirement age I’m still having to take massive action . Getting rid of limiting beliefs . I can do it again!!!
40 years old. I went viral in 2008 (Grind Time Now rap battles) - Sold my channel back in 2018 - took time off and now I am back watching all the guys who I think give really great advice. Just wanna say I am not in your demographic but I love this channel!
I'm a 63 financial professional ready for an amazing encore. Celebrating 2 years of morning Pages, 2 years of adult ballet practice, lost 50 lbs. Thank you Dan for your work. On my way to living the remainder of my life on my own terms.🙏💗
Hey Dan! I would like to let you know h2ow much your channel means for me. You see, I was born in the Soviet Union, moved to NY when I was 19. Fast forward, I find myself under influence of the old mindset. I break free, I move abroad, I find myself again. I am working on my new business. I listen to you daily. You are the only like minded person I have in my life. And I thank you for that from the depth of my heart. BTW I love your new look , it suits you well. You look like the stoic you are. Love you.
You have the best combination of real talk - especially the hard truths - and practical helpful advice. Always appreciate your content but this is next level. Everything in one place, one video. Thank you for this.
On my second go-round of listening to the audiobook version of "The Art of Focus," No fluff in this book. Densely packed with practical information and insights. I'm picking up on things I didn't get on my first listen.
Dan, I'm 48 years old. I've been listening to 6 podcasts for creating content around my business. I have recently weeded out all but you and one other. I started in January 2024, and have seen instant success. I have a small following, but they are loyal clients. I've earned more income in the past 2 months, than I did in an entire year when I first started in business. Thanks for helping me become better. I still don't know exactly what I'm doing, but having a blast doing it!
I never comments in any RUclips video, but this one. Its an amazing and inspiring 3 hours. Thanks Dan. I was on edge of giving up promoting my service, and starting to send resume on linkedin again. But after watching this video, i feel so light up and want to continue what I'm doing in a better ways, make money of out it, gain valuable knowledge and live a meaningful life, out of the system. I'll comeback to this comment when I finally make it.
Hey Dan! I'm new to your channel/content. Thank you for your teaching. I'm 60 years young with the current occupation of truck driving (which I'm tired of). The things I'm learning from you has given me the exit strategy I've been looking for to get out of my current occupation. I've been speaking/teaching publicly in churches and consulting for years. But I was always stuck on how to use my learning to earn an income and work for myself. Mainly because I thought that the internet didn't need "another spiritual/self-improvement teacher and I lacked the confidence in myself to find out how. In one of your videos you spoke of a 'consumer and a researcher'. Well, I was the later! Collecting great content (I've read over 5000 books since 2001) but never doing anything with it. I'm purchasing your writing course to use to start my One Person Business and start posting online. Again, thank you!
I am a truck driver too! I have been a Soul Coach for my entire life. Truck Driving has given me the bread and butter so I can keep working on my 'True Calling.' I love driving and listening to the DAN KOE. CANNOT get enough of this guy. So looking forward to implementing this process. 😁
Holy shit the timing couldn't be more perfect! Excited to review the last few years. Was broke and starting a new job end of 2022 when I found your channel. Am now starting my own agency (not rich yet but am finally in a position of strength!)
Book ordered. Every day on the way home from the hospital I digest another portion of this video. Thank you, Dan. I am seeing and imagining new ways forward that seemed impossible just a few weeks ago!
I have come back to REMIND myself daily of what I NEED to do..especially when you are moving in a world with people who dont get it..OR you come from an environment where this shit isnt so common so your the first to EVER do this in your community...its lonely so I can truly appreciate your thought process. The reason I came on youtube and even came across your information was because i was looking for someone to HELP ME BREAK THIS SHIT DOWN..into small compact steps . I tell you this often Dan.. I love you. Keep working, keep leading, your my mentor...
The message is very apt for those of us 50 and above because we tend to think we are too old to do a lot of the things you are talking about . I am reinventing myself and have found your videos to be very useful.
Dan. First off, thank you. In the beginning you mention the 18 - 35 year old category, and I chuckled, because here I am, 47 and busy with the single person business. Started my own freelancing business just over a month ago. Then you discuss the generalist, and I was so thankfull to hear that. I have an extremely diverse interest in just about anything. I also have a knack of deep diving the info very quickly, and often getting to the crux of the subject. I have also heard so many people say, specialise, miche etc. And, I do see the value in a lot. But, you have confirmed for me, I might sell in a niche, but will definitley not sacrifice my general curiosity anymore.
I’m going with my intuition right now commenting this but ima say this : I’m a 23 year old from NJ and Dan you have taught me so much in the last month since discovering you. I believe I’m in the exact moment where I need to be in life. I’m literally a working flow horse. And I’ve been always working on side projects , doing things I love , all outside of my full time gig as an electrician. But I’d rather have ownership over more of my time and still make as much money. I’ve been making music 11 years , used to have a clothing brand , I play flag football, been writing for a long time. Being an value creator is literally the best position to be im going to keep going and do what it takes to create and keep going
Great video. A key tactic often overlooked is utilizing existing relationships in your network to validate your product ideas before diving in. This saves you time and resources, ensuring you're creating something people actually want.
My grandparents had a “work till you die” mentality. Then my parents adapted that. Suffering from ADHD (I was SO obnoxious in school and found out why after) got medicated/ got educated… I started to work only afternoons doing hair instead of 9-9. Not only did I make money charging more, I was less zombie at the end of the day. Now a musician, the same rule applies. If I take 12 hours to write a song, about 9 of that is wasted because I’m trying too hard or distracted. Your brain has good juice in short spurts. Like a workout. 🏋️ 🎉
This is exactly what I needed to hear. It’s not a race. We all have to self educate in order to find our truth & develop our skills & build our business. Things are going digital & I’m learning these transferable skills to craft an optimal life. I’m breaking out of the old system & shredding my old beliefs.
Thank You!! You've changed my life with that first 2 and a half mins. It finally clicked on this video of yours!! No turning back, gonna live the life I want NOW!!
First, thank you so much for this very long and effective course ! I would like to share something too about that : I saw today a video of a woman crying in her car because she was working so much that she didn't find time to meet friends, to find someone and to take care of herself. In the comments, people were just putting her down, telling her she was not ready for the real world, that younger generations were just like babies who didn't want to work... I was shocked because it felt like they were turning their frustration against her, a woman who just wanted to have time for herself. It's better to start a buisness and live more freely than being a slave in a job you just really dislike or hate.
Just here to help out with the algorithm. This is the second video I've seen from you and holy crap man, I can't believe you're posting this for free! It helps build your brand and etc I get it, but the advice you give is 100 times better than many paid programs that people probably pay hundreds of dollars a month for. Keep it up man you're really helping elevate the world thank you!
So about a month ago I stumbled onto your channel, specifically the you are your own niche video. I specifically searched for that phrase because my intuition was telling me that I needed to cut through all the noise that’s out there and that there was a much simpler, valuable, and powerful approach to the whole thing. Then I just binged your content🍿, and the value you offer is absolutely popping (😆no pun intended) your message is clear and you’re as authentic as it gets. So about 2 weeks ago, I started my own channel, I started your book, and now I’m continuing to binge and develop everything that lights me up inside so I can find a way to share that value with others and pay it forward ✨🐈✨
Dan since I’ve started watching you I’ve learned so much. I’ve started making content. It’s terrible but it’s improving. I’ve learned web design. My website sucked, but I iterated and iterated and now it’s beautiful. Thank you
Not ashamed to say this but I’m 41 and it’s all due to living my life in reverse but that’s ok I’ll be an example for the youngsters of the future and help them wake up while they have their young lives to make their older days not hard like mine thank you for your dedication to helping those of us who are ready and willing to be good to ourselves
I will watch the whole thing and just listen for the first time. Later I will watch it in increments, take notes, ponder, apply, measure, stop, reevaluate and either keep doing what works or try something else.
@@DanKoeTalks Thanks Dan! I have bought your Digital Economics Course for 1000$ but haven’t started it yet. It is my own fault (I working on improving my weaknesses) And I could have saved 500$ if I had bought it on Black Friday. But now I have a story and a lesson. Currently working on being able to have a creative environment and time to start March 1st. You said the course is about 60 days. Should I enroll in Kortex after? How long after? Do I need certain results before joining Kortex? You are the creator I most resonate with and believe me I have looked around. 2024 will be the year for action for me!
I watched this sooo many times! I LOVE THIS! It's "Disk Jockey" (NO DISRESPECT) BUT I LOVE THE "IJ" for creators!! SO TRUE! did you know Gary vaynerchuck said THE EXACT same thing (just in a different way) BUT WHEN YOU SAID IT --IT FINALLY CLICKED! and I love how you go further with the metaphor and "synthesize" "Play it loud" I think you need to make a VERY SHORT show and say "you dont have imposter syndrome" and then say this metaphor! YOU STILL DA MAN, DAN! TYSM!
Thank you for continuing to bring this valuable information for those of us starting out in solopreneurship and self branding. You content is concentrated, intelligent, and incredibly useful. Thank you for showing me that the perceived limits I thought I had, are actually not what they appear. When I remove the excuses, I get to work! I am convinced after listening to and reading your content, that I can do it!
I have a product I've developed but know a single product isn't sustainable. Thanks to your videos I know I need more. While I'm waiting for additional funding I'm working on things like a newsletter and building a social media presence.
I like what you said about 50 minutes in about the meaning of life behind doing what we do being about raising our own consciousness and then reframing our goal around raising the collective unconscious. Recently that helped me take a huge forward leap with my new personal brand as far as making it solely about myself at first then figuring out how to make it about other people
🔥🔥 every word. Thank you. The journey has been hard, it feels out of this world just to hear someone who I can honesty relate to genuinely. To have reassurance that I’m headed in the right direction on a path where you’re always alone, constantly failing to succeed. This means the world. I really appreciate it.
nicheing down was always the thing that I didn't like the taste of, I was shown examples of the researcher who only studies one specific facet of the world. But I have always been a jack of all trades, I have always been HUMAN for gods sake, and this philosophy of the business of one brings all of my pieces together for the first time.
Your content has been "The art of Focus" this video literally made me stick to it. That's a way to learn the art of focus. Ur content is literally gold mahn!! 👏👏👏👏 Ur perspective speaks a lot on how you observe things and that in turn made us "the audience of Focus"
I could never break into Twitter, it felt like a place with angry political people that I wouldn’t want to talk to in real life. Maybe it’s because my content is educational. I prefer RUclips to be honest. Kudos to you for starting on Twitter tho!
And those who are re-inventing themselves and their money-making abilities! When we re-evaluate our career path we take different advice! As a certified Money Archetype Mentor I have seen dramatic shifts once you go with your natural money-making aptitude! I call it speak your Money Language! 😊
Thank you Dan. I’m HUNGRY to monetize myself and make a brand out of my self. I’m watching this video while sitting down in my 9-5, can’t be more motivated to start !
One of the most amazing, clear and compressed tutorials I’ve ever watched in my entire life !!! So many great details that would help everyone 👌🏻 Thank you Dan ❤
Dude your clarity of thought and your way of straightforward delivery got me hooked and I’m watching all of your videos now. What’s more amazing is that I am realising that I’ve been on the path you are describing for a while already - most of it came to me intuitively and through trial and error method. Even more peculiar that my brand is called The Art Of Tango (which was inspired by the brand The Art Of Shaving) while yours is The Art Of Focus 🎉
I've heard him say this a few times but this time I'm really able to see what he's saying. "You deconstruct wholes into parts, then you reconstruct those parts back into a whole."
I was so thirsty for truth that I just read and read and became a truth seeker now I am a truth speaker... and that has been a long windy twisted journey to get there... u have to be brave to do it cause I let go the material world everything and now I am back in material world blending ny spiritual knowledge with my material world... its creating that balance
Thank you and I am so glad I found you on RUclips. I have been studying to do this for a long time but everything is so scattered and difficult to understand to construct a plan for me. This helped substantially.
WOW! This was powerful, encouraging, instructive, insightful, illuminating, inspiring and challenging. This is my very first time coming across you through this video. I need to watch it a few times, take notes, reflect on what I am doing, and take strategic actions. I really ENJOYED this video, your delivery and energy. Thank you! Peace!

You have the best combination of real talk - especially the hard truths - and practical helpful advice. Always appreciate your content but this is next level. Everything in one place, one video. Thank you for this.
On my second go-round of listening to the audiobook version of "The Art of Focus," No fluff in this book. Densely packed with practical information and insights. I'm picking up on things I didn't get on my first listen.
Dan, I'm 48 years old. I've been listening to 6 podcasts for creating content around my business. I have recently weeded out all but you and one other. I started in January 2024, and have seen instant success. I have a small following, but they are loyal clients. I've earned more income in the past 2 months, than I did in an entire year when I first started in business. Thanks for helping me become better. I still don't know exactly what I'm doing, but having a blast doing it!
As a seven year digital nomad mostly living in Thailand, I can tell you that you are pretty dang spot on brother. Seriously, you nailed it.
We need more creators that genuinely inspire and provide factual information. Thank you !
I never comments in any RUclips video, but this one. Its an amazing and inspiring 3 hours. Thanks Dan. I was on edge of giving up promoting my service, and starting to send resume on linkedin again. But after watching this video, i feel so light up and want to continue what I'm doing in a better ways, make money of out it, gain valuable knowledge and live a meaningful life, out of the system. I'll comeback to this comment when I finally make it.
Look forward to seeing your comment. Best regards from Bolivia!
bro are u started any business in this moment?
appeciate this post and dropping gems, i'm floored by the generosity. If anyone else is listening, KEEP GOING, YOU GOT THIS.
Hey Dan! I'm new to your channel/content. Thank you for your teaching. I'm 60 years young with the current occupation of truck driving (which I'm tired of). The things I'm learning from you has given me the exit strategy I've been looking for to get out of my current occupation. I've been speaking/teaching publicly in churches and consulting for years. But I was always stuck on how to use my learning to earn an income and work for myself. Mainly because I thought that the internet didn't need "another spiritual/self-improvement teacher and I lacked the confidence in myself to find out how. In one of your videos you spoke of a 'consumer and a researcher'. Well, I was the later! Collecting great content (I've read over 5000 books since 2001) but never doing anything with it. I'm purchasing your writing course to use to start my One Person Business and start posting online.
Again, thank you!
I am a truck driver too! I have been a Soul Coach for my entire life. Truck Driving has given me the bread and butter so I can keep working on my 'True Calling.' I love driving and listening to the DAN KOE. CANNOT get enough of this guy. So looking forward to implementing this process. 😁
Wish you the best on your journey!
im 50 and this has been really opening my eyes.
Holy shit the timing couldn't be more perfect! Excited to review the last few years.
Was broke and starting a new job end of 2022 when I found your channel.
Am now starting my own agency (not rich yet but am finally in a position of strength!)
Book ordered.
Every day on the way home from the hospital I digest another portion of this video.
Thank you, Dan. I am seeing and imagining new ways forward that seemed impossible just a few weeks ago!
I have come back to REMIND myself daily of what I NEED to do..especially when you are moving in a world with people who dont get it..OR you come from an environment where this shit isnt so common so your the first to EVER do this in your community...its lonely so I can truly appreciate your thought process.
The reason I came on youtube and even came across your information was because i was looking for someone to HELP ME BREAK THIS SHIT DOWN..into small compact steps .
I tell you this often Dan.. I love you. Keep working, keep leading, your my mentor...
Hello from South Africa. I'm 54 and using his knowledge to work less, earn more and enjoy life!
The message is very apt for those of us 50 and above because we tend to think we are too old to do a lot of the things you are talking about .
I am reinventing myself and have found your videos to be very useful.
Dan. First off, thank you. In the beginning you mention the 18 - 35 year old category, and I chuckled, because here I am, 47 and busy with the single person business. Started my own freelancing business just over a month ago. Then you discuss the generalist, and I was so thankfull to hear that. I have an extremely diverse interest in just about anything. I also have a knack of deep diving the info very quickly, and often getting to the crux of the subject. I have also heard so many people say, specialise, miche etc. And, I do see the value in a lot. But, you have confirmed for me, I might sell in a niche, but will definitley not sacrifice my general curiosity anymore.
im 55 ys enjoying and learning frrom your Podcast
Keep up the good work
I’m going with my intuition right now commenting this but ima say this :
I’m a 23 year old from NJ and Dan you have taught me so much in the last month since discovering you.
I believe I’m in the exact moment where I need to be in life. I’m literally a working flow horse. And I’ve been always working on side projects , doing things I love , all outside of my full time gig as an electrician.
But I’d rather have ownership over more of my time and still make as much money.
I’ve been making music 11 years , used to have a clothing brand , I play flag football, been writing for a long time.
Being an value creator is literally the best position to be im going to keep going and do what it takes to create and keep going
My name been Taeflo since my freshman year of high school I feel my soul knew this is where life would lead me
3 Hours! Wow. Appreciate the value.
I'm 40. The content you deliver is indeed extremely valuable. Thank you so much! 🙏
Great video. A key tactic often overlooked is utilizing existing relationships in your network to validate your product ideas before diving in. This saves you time and resources, ensuring you're creating something people actually want.

Thanking you my friend 😊
When you listed the books you liked, I understood why I had had been listening to you for over an hour.
My grandparents had a “work till you die” mentality. Then my parents adapted that. Suffering from ADHD (I was SO obnoxious in school and found out why after) got medicated/ got educated…
I started to work only afternoons doing hair instead of 9-9. Not only did I make money charging more, I was less zombie at the end of the day.
Now a musician, the same rule applies. If I take 12 hours to write a song, about 9 of that is wasted because I’m trying too hard or distracted.
Your brain has good juice in short spurts. Like a workout. 🏋️ 🎉
This is exactly what I needed to hear. It’s not a race. We all have to self educate in order to find our truth & develop our skills & build our business. Things are going digital & I’m learning these transferable skills to craft an optimal life. I’m breaking out of the old system & shredding my old beliefs.
I’m 41 and I’m hear watching you regularly!!! Don’t count us old folks out 😅
Thank You!! You've changed my life with that first 2 and a half mins. It finally clicked on this video of yours!! No turning back, gonna live the life I want NOW!!
First, thank you so much for this very long and effective course ! I would like to share something too about that : I saw today a video of a woman crying in her car because she was working so much that she didn't find time to meet friends, to find someone and to take care of herself. In the comments, people were just putting her down, telling her she was not ready for the real world, that younger generations were just like babies who didn't want to work... I was shocked because it felt like they were turning their frustration against her, a woman who just wanted to have time for herself. It's better to start a buisness and live more freely than being a slave in a job you just really dislike or hate.
Just here to help out with the algorithm. This is the second video I've seen from you and holy crap man, I can't believe you're posting this for free! It helps build your brand and etc I get it, but the advice you give is 100 times better than many paid programs that people probably pay hundreds of dollars a month for. Keep it up man you're really helping elevate the world thank you!
So about a month ago I stumbled onto your channel, specifically the you are your own niche video. I specifically searched for that phrase because my intuition was telling me that I needed to cut through all the noise that’s out there and that there was a much simpler, valuable, and powerful approach to the whole thing. Then I just binged your content🍿, and the value you offer is absolutely popping (😆no pun intended) your message is clear and you’re as authentic as it gets. So about 2 weeks ago, I started my own channel, I started your book, and now I’m continuing to binge and develop everything that lights me up inside so I can find a way to share that value with others and pay it forward ✨🐈✨
Commenting to remind myself to listen to this tomorrow. I have digital eye strain so taking it easy for a while. Look after your eyes, guys!
Dan since I’ve started watching you I’ve learned so much.
I’ve started making content. It’s terrible but it’s improving.
I’ve learned web design. My website sucked, but I iterated and iterated and now it’s beautiful.
Thank you
best wishes to you, my friend!
@ leapthenest I’m curious, what platform do you post your content?
Threads?
X?
Instagram?
Facebook?
All or a few of the above?
All of the above, but I'm focused on YT. Wbu? @@davidcuervo1734
48 years old woman in Europe but teaching my son 12 exactly what you say and showing him your videos 😄
Not ashamed to say this but I’m 41 and it’s all due to living my life in reverse but that’s ok I’ll be an example for the youngsters of the future and help them wake up while they have their young lives to make their older days not hard like mine thank you for your dedication to helping those of us who are ready and willing to be good to ourselves
I will watch the whole thing and just listen for the first time.
Later I will watch it in increments, take notes, ponder, apply, measure, stop, reevaluate and either keep doing what works or try something else.
Great way to learn
@@DanKoeTalks Thanks Dan!
I have bought your Digital Economics Course for 1000$ but haven’t started it yet.
It is my own fault (I working on improving my weaknesses)
And I could have saved 500$ if I had bought it on Black Friday. But now I have a story and a lesson.
Currently working on being able to have a creative environment and time to start March 1st.
You said the course is about 60 days.
Should I enroll in Kortex after?
How long after?
Do I need certain results before joining Kortex?
You are the creator I most resonate with and believe me I have looked around.
2024 will be the year for action for me!
You are such a gift to us all- may this video and the love and energy infused through it inspire and give hope to ALL who are ready for more!!! ❤
I love how people appreciating Dan with quality content. Good luck yall
I watched this sooo many times! I LOVE THIS! It's "Disk Jockey" (NO DISRESPECT) BUT I LOVE THE "IJ" for creators!! SO TRUE! did you know Gary vaynerchuck said THE EXACT same thing (just in a different way) BUT WHEN YOU SAID IT --IT FINALLY CLICKED! and I love how you go further with the metaphor and "synthesize" "Play it loud" I think you need to make a VERY SHORT show and say "you dont have imposter syndrome" and then say this metaphor! YOU STILL DA MAN, DAN! TYSM!
This is sparking a bunch of ideas 💡 in my head. Cheers 🍻 Dan
Thank you for continuing to bring this valuable information for those of us starting out in solopreneurship and self branding. You content is concentrated, intelligent, and incredibly useful. Thank you for showing me that the perceived limits I thought I had, are actually not what they appear. When I remove the excuses, I get to work! I am convinced after listening to and reading your content, that I can do it!
Thanks, I'm older & on the road to creating my infocourse as a Soloprentrepreneur! Thank you!!! 🎉
One of the greatest videos of all time!
I have a product I've developed but know a single product isn't sustainable. Thanks to your videos I know I need more. While I'm waiting for additional funding I'm working on things like a newsletter and building a social media presence.
I like what you said about 50 minutes in about the meaning of life behind doing what we do being about raising our own consciousness and then reframing our goal around raising the collective unconscious. Recently that helped me take a huge forward leap with my new personal brand as far as making it solely about myself at first then figuring out how to make it about other people
41 here and starting an online business as a copywriter. Never too late 😊
🔥🔥 every word. Thank you. The journey has been hard, it feels out of this world just to hear someone who I can honesty relate to genuinely. To have reassurance that I’m headed in the right direction on a path where you’re always alone, constantly failing to succeed. This means the world. I really appreciate it.
Dan. This is pure gold. Thank you so much for your dedication and time and for your incredible ability to break this stuff down for us!❤
Damn, 3 hours?? All this value for free?
You never fail to impress. Thanks, dan!
Hey Dan, I read the power of now in Baghdad at war, 19 years ago. It freed up the soul to be watching instead of processing everything.
nicheing down was always the thing that I didn't like the taste of, I was shown examples of the researcher who only studies one specific facet of the world. But I have always been a jack of all trades, I have always been HUMAN for gods sake, and this philosophy of the business of one brings all of my pieces together for the first time.
Your content has been "The art of Focus" this video literally made me stick to it. That's a way to learn the art of focus. Ur content is literally gold mahn!! 👏👏👏👏 Ur perspective speaks a lot on how you observe things and that in turn made us "the audience of Focus"
I am so lucky to have found your account. So much value. Thank you.
I could never break into Twitter, it felt like a place with angry political people that I wouldn’t want to talk to in real life. Maybe it’s because my content is educational. I prefer RUclips to be honest. Kudos to you for starting on Twitter tho!
And those who are re-inventing themselves and their money-making abilities! When we re-evaluate our career path we take different advice! As a certified Money Archetype Mentor I have seen dramatic shifts once you go with your natural money-making aptitude! I call it speak your Money Language! 😊
I feel like i miss so much listening to this in the background. Will have to listen a few more times lol. But there's a lot of gold in here.
Hey bro i just wanna say that youre a gem of an entepreneur. Much love and respect my brother !
Thank you Dan. I’m HUNGRY to monetize myself and make a brand out of my self. I’m watching this video while sitting down in my 9-5, can’t be more motivated to start !
Your outlier here - 47 year old woman. Love your content and thank you.
One of the most amazing, clear and compressed tutorials I’ve ever watched in my entire life !!! So many great details that would help everyone 👌🏻
Thank you Dan ❤
Dude your clarity of thought and your way of straightforward delivery got me hooked and I’m watching all of your videos now. What’s more amazing is that I am realising that I’ve been on the path you are describing for a while already - most of it came to me intuitively and through trial and error method. Even more peculiar that my brand is called The Art Of Tango (which was inspired by the brand The Art Of Shaving) while yours is The Art Of Focus 🎉
I saw 3 hours and got so excited! Thanks for your wisdom Dan.
46 year old outlier here. Love your stuff.
I'm 61 and I'm reinventing myself. Really good information 💯. Thank you?
Dude's doing god's work by sharing this, much appreciated man!
I don't think anyone has inspired me so much on RUclips. This is an epic series of videos. Thank you!
I've heard him say this a few times but this time I'm really able to see what he's saying. "You deconstruct wholes into parts, then you reconstruct those parts back into a whole."
I'm just glad I came across your content. I have learnt a lot from you. Thank you.
Dan Koe you are great and I will share
This information feels like it should have a price tag on it. Thanks Dan ❤
Factual actuals
Can't wait to sink my teeth into this! Thanks Dan!
I was so thirsty for truth that I just read and read and became a truth seeker now I am a truth speaker... and that has been a long windy twisted journey to get there... u have to be brave to do it cause I let go the material world everything and now I am back in material world blending ny spiritual knowledge with my material world... its creating that balance
Great content Dan, absolutely brilliant, You're definetely a teacher / coach I always look forward learning from.
Thank you and I am so glad I found you on RUclips. I have been studying to do this for a long time but everything is so scattered and difficult to understand to construct a plan for me. This helped substantially.
WOW! This was powerful, encouraging, instructive, insightful, illuminating, inspiring and challenging. This is my very first time coming across you through this video. I need to watch it a few times, take notes, reflect on what I am doing, and take strategic actions. I really ENJOYED this video, your delivery and energy. Thank you! Peace!
loving you every single day
