• How To Decide On A Career
Exactly bc I’m tired of hearing ppl say “follow your passion”! Like I want to be financially stable first

Well your passion should lead you and take you to your career.
FACTS
@@user-yx6up7wd3y exactly you have to dream big to get big
“If you don’t know what you want to do, you just haven’t tried enough things.” So. Damn. True. That’s exactly what I needed to hear. People learn from their experiences. Thank you Dan!
And how do I try other things without having the qualifications for them ?
@@MadeInPython I think you should stop making excuses or reasons., take necessary actions to get what you want. I believe you can do that
@@renualluzara2620will try, thanks
What if i just graduated higschool?
My only job experience is sorting out files and working at a store.
I don't have a clue what i want to do for college.
Allanzo my guys it’s okay :) just say to yourself what you like to do?
He is absolutely right about focusing on profit before passion. Chasing dreams can leave you broke. I'd been chasing my passion so hard that I was actually leaving money on the table 🤦🏽♀️
Ouch, that's hard to clear on. But it's an important step.
Hopefully now you are starting to get back some of the money you left on the table 👍
Gotta be smart about it.
So it means I should choose profitable career rather than career which is based on my interests?
I don’t even know my passion to be honest
@@evanj5844 if you go for a job with a 30000 salary instead of one with a 65000 just because your more interested in it it probably won't work out for you
Am I the only one who has so many careers they wanna do that they don’t know which to pick
@Oddwolf 799 Same
Just make sure you decide, if you learn to be decisive it’ll make you more successful. Sounds cheesy but it’s important.
I’m the opposite I’m 15 and have absolutely no idea what I wanna do it’s like no careers interest me
@@sixevening4649 I’m 15 and I’m the same situation, have you found anything?
Yes! I have a few ideas of what I wanna do with my life and each one suits me in different aspects but I’m so scared of picking the wrong one and hating it for the rest of my life lol
Get money out of the way so you can focus on what's important:
👉Living your life!👈
Thank you sir Dan Lok what you said as changes my life and thinking . I'm only 15 still don't no what i want to do but with your advice it is helping me to think about my career . I know I'm just 1 little coment but I hope my words of appreciation brings joy to you . I do hope that some day I can meet you once I figure my profit ,passion and place in life 😊😊😊
Thank you so much about sharing your experiences and all of these inspired and motivated words I still at highschool and I feel like i am lost between choosing engineery or financy career ..but I hope to do well and acess to my dream and help my family .....thank youuu again for the advices💛
Nice watch 😉 I recognized the model 🙂
What if I’m 12 years old
Such a timely message! I've wasted years trying to find my passion. Hands down one of the best videos on the subject.
Every job has it's pros and cons. Just pick one that inspires you to be better.
True words have never been spoken
Or a high paying job if money is what you want.
@@hoenn4ever829 to be honest, I was wrong, what you said is right... If you choose a job you don't like you'll be having no fun, so what's the point?
Agreed. There is no such thing as the perfect job / career. But you can mold your career path and streamline what you want after say 5-6 years of experience. Get as many college courses under your belt and again as much knowledge . Best thing I did was after my training was become a Freelancer. If you can do contract / freelance work it opens doors 10 times more that staying in a same old permanent job.
I want a job that I won't get caught up in a 9 to 5 boring job. Somethings that gives me some freedom would be good.
The ideal career is combined profit, purpose and passion..✨
yes. that is called ikigai principle
That is where the challenge begin
Music gives me purpose and passion… profit is where the issue lies
This man is Humble as fck. I love him already.
Yes he just screams humble right
No... Just no.
Priortit wise.
1-profit
2-passion
3-purpose
I would swap them
This is an eye opener for me. When he started saying that "if you're young, you might have not tried many things yet". Deep down, I felt that. I grew up, being scared of trying things because whenever I failed, I was laughed at. I found a hobby I loved deep down when I was 15, after facing my fear of trying something new. Though I'm behind of everyone (currently 17, the hobby is singing), I realized I enjoyed it. Now, this video inspired me to find something i might be passionate about...
P.S., I felt that Asian philosophy cause i'm asian 😂
I'm glad you started to realize that, I felt like I was the same growing up where I didn't always apply myself or do anything like clubs or sports because I was afraid of failing and being rejected or laughed at.
i was born in the very rong place in the rong familly 🙂iam like in prisob just bcs im a girl 16 years of my life still dont k basic thibg such as swiming be thankful and go try new thing thats Life trying new things avrytime sports emotions and feelings
Im 16 and I love to dance, people see me perform sometimes but...I don't have the confidente to dance in a bigger crowd so Imma do bussiness☹
Lol ya every Asian thinks like that 😂😂
@@artsyaku5449 try to have Asian parents you will understand our struggles lol
1. Profit
2. Passion
3. Purpose...♥️
this dude really make me feel inspired, I'm 23 and currently jobless, thanks to this video i will find a job quick and sort my life back
Exactly like me
I need to sort my life and get a job as well, im 11.

@@investzaku i'm 8 and i've been struggling for a while. But i started to improve myself and will apply for a job tomorrow. There is always hope guys! /s
I turned 20 a few days ago and I can work at a restaurant but damn do I hate it

Hi any advice for someone with a criminal record?
YOU MY MENTOR SIR!! Thanks for your motivationg, i have been through a lot in my life....still i found a mentor like you who motivated me..thanks again
How do you stay motivated when nothing works ?
I am running a voice over business, creating ads for companies, same time I do inspirational talks. Im still learning a lot from your channel.
i hate how people say you’re too young to know what to do in the future yet make you choose your gcse subjects at 12 or 13 :/
“You’re too young to make any delicious!”
“Ok, choose what qualifications you will have now at age 12”
I'm only 12 and I'm already planning on my career lol.
@@casandrasantander3290 lol same
At 14 they do this in the Caribbean subject selection lol
Sss . I am 12 yrs old . And I wanted to choose a career for me . I searched in chrome and I loosed all of my braincells . So I asked my mom . " Mom how u choose your career " " it is so hard " . She replied " I am telling u , doctor is the best career for u . God have choosen this for you " " you r still young , go and bath" . Actually I don't have any interest on being doctor . It's my family's decision that I have to become a doctor .
It is a hard truth but the world runs on money, so it is important to find a balance in passion and profit.
Such an important perspective. Make profit first to free up time to pursue passion. I didn’t really understand why my immigrant parents worked so hard in careers they were not “passionate” about. But I am grateful they focused on providing and making good livings to provide for my brothers and me. Pursuing passion is a truly a privilege.
Same thing too
My father came from nothing and now he is an entrepreneur.
Compared to him and the stories he told me makes my life and struggles feel like kids play.
I really want to thank you personally Mr. Dan Lok as all your teachings have made me who I am today. I am currently transforming lives especially the youth at large in my country, using our home language “SWAHILI”.
Inspiring, and applying all the best tips and tricks how to run businesses. Thank you... your channel is always a class to me.
Habari
Ooof a fellow Swahili speaker :D
@Kaiser Wilhelm II Did you own a part of that before?
The best thing I like about Dan is that he speaks with emotions. You can see he's speaking from his heart. Earlier it was not the case but now the respect for this dude is immense. Huge respect man. Keep up the good work. 😊
Dan is real and genuine and not always trying to put people down.
Im 16 and im watching this because i too want to provide for my mother as soon as possible, but want to follow my passion as well... i don't know what to do anymore. I'm lost and i need to decide because next year i will be in college...i will have to decide where im headed for.
Do your part while young and then older care for others that's one thing i learned growing up. All these fun are fun but they can get kinda of boring when you keep doing it like say you want to travel i travel a lot and i was like i want to travel more as a kid but after doing it for so long it just gets boring specially if your doing it your self but having friends and family go with you is very different cause at the end of the day its all about having bad and good memories for your self.
Choose a job you love, and you will never work again.
Hey...
Are you a CBSE student or ICSE?
^
same here as well
I feel like all i ever done was help my family help my mom with her stress my father had heart attack at 38 years old and i had get job 17 working construction i use hate my self i had no confidence now im 27 no college education but i realized life is all about journey just pick yourself up and never stop working on you.
You have the right mindset, Robert. Dan doesn't have a college education either, so it's about learning and working on yourself to build the life you want. If you don't mind me asking, what are you doing now?
It's not too late you can pursue an education at your age. If you put your mind to it, before you know it. You have completed your dream course. It took me some to pursue my degree after high school but guess what I took up the tough challenge. At 26 I went to the university and now I have a degree and pursuing my masters soon. Nine years down the line its a good feeling, I have a great career beyond my expectations. I just had to share this.
Closing for me has changed my life. I'm becoming completely self employed and building a business surrounding mental health👌 I tried taking risks
That is so true Dan. I am 22 yrs old, been trying so many businesses but finally settled on forex as it is making me good money and very potential in the near future. I had to quit university in my 4th yr just to change my career path. I wanna change lives, I cant do that if I am broke. You have always been my man LOK. Keep them coming you are changing someones life over here, I have watched all your boss in the bentley and lessons from the pent house they are changing my life drastically. #HIGHLY APPRECIATED FROM KENYA.
I'm 19 and i'm still lost about life lmao, but this helps
Same trying to get inspiration...
Same! I’m so lost because I have no idea what path to take. it's so scary
Same here
same lol retook a year and still dk wtf I want to do
Same😔
You are blessed with your parents who wanted you to become something when you were young, while some people have no parents supporting them.
I’m jealous
Yeah I'm lucky ..but indecisive 🤦♀️
It’s nice to have parents that support your decisions, not that make the decisions for you. Cause at the end of the day, if you let others’ influence on you take the reins of your life and your life choices, you are never going to feel fulfilled with what you are doing and you are just gonna get even more confused and lost. My dad wanted me to become an Economist and I liked it but it wasn’t really my calling in life
Dont worry i'll support you even though im only 14 this year
Unbelievable....thanks Dan.
A few years back, I was working to some business companies and then working with the clients. Yet, I felt frustrated and decided to stop building other’s dreams. So, I decided to start my own business as an affiliate marketer. I may not be that successful at the beginning because of lack of implementation and wrong niche but I never give up! I made some research, going to some training and courses to learn new skills and strategies. Through that, I achieved what my goals are to become a successful in my career for this is my passion to make money, generate more commissions and then helping those who want to build their own dream business. Thank you for sharing this inspiring video, Dan!
Rachel S. Lee keep it up
Proud of u

The most importan quote of the video
6:33 "Get money out of the way so you can focus on what's important, and that's life."
There, you said a million dollar motto Dan.
I am struggling very much to find myself. Despite noticing all the high-achievements I think I have accomplished, they're all garbage.
You took it out of the context.You need to get money first to not worry about money.Being a hippy won't help much with life at first
Sad that many young people start life with massive amounts of student debt following their passions. The exact opposite of focusing on profit.
Iam confused too don't know what to do😪
@@savvageorge but they could easily just study in europe and not run in to debt.
@@saradeen3984 me as well
.
"It is very important to find your place" so true ❤️ I'm still exploring for the things that I love and what I'm interested in. Self-doubt is my greatest enemy because I thought I'm not good in everything. But this video gives me hope for my future. Thank you
I'm 24 now. After I graduated High School I decided to work to help my parents and I realized after working for almost 6 months that I have to study for my future for me to find a stable job not just for me but also my parents and my sibling . I decided to study at least associate degree to work in a call center then after 2 yrs of studying Associate in Computer Technology (ACT) I leave my hometown to find a call center company to apply and get hired.
I applied several times and sadly I was rejected then after several application I met this Guy ,we applied in the same company and he told me a story of him He's a tenured agent his been in several companies for almost 10 years I told him about my situation that I always rejected. He told me that he was been in my situation before. But in his 10th applied in a call center company hi was hired then that guy motivated me. Surprisingly on the 10th company I applied for I get hired. After almost 1 months of working as a call center agent I decided to resigned the reason is a became animic , working at night is very hard for me.
Then for me to earn money I decided to find any job for me to pay my bill and for my daily needs, I became a delivery rider I work for almost 4 months as a delivery rider. That time I realized what carrer path should I choose. at the age of 22 I really want to get an stable job and also a career growth for me to earn more money. After 4 months I applied again in a call center company but again sadly I didn't make it I was rejected after training. I realized that call center wasn't for me.
Then I get back to my hometown I felt I'm a loser that I didn't got a job and earn money. Same year my friend photographer told me that they got a photography studio , he Encourage me to go back in photography then I decided to be a photographer again ( I didn't mention that I became a photographer when I was in college a a parttime) but after working as a photographer I can't save money because of the salary. The photography in my hometown wasn't in demand.
I resigned again then after a month I had a motorcycle accident and luckily I didn't die. I suffered a depression for several months of having that accident and no job no saving. I thought that time that I'm one of the Unlucky person in terms of career. After 1 year of getting my self in a mood to work again.I applied in 2 company 1st as a Field Collection officer and 2nd as a Promodiser as of now I'm confused what to choose.
Then After watching this video I realized that any of those job I mentioned is right. Choosing a career path is hard but you'll know it by experience. So choose any legal job for you to earn and pay your bills. We don't know what the Destiny plans for as all we have to do is be prepared an take all chances and be patient.
#Patience
#Respect
This is motivating and inspiring I am in same boat but with lot of resources but don't how to use it but bro thanks for little reset button for thinking again
Thanks brother to your testimony, we are moving forward for another chapter of our life included with faith, very inspiring message💕
U litteraly typed this I'm amazed
@@beprophesiedtruthflix4046 yeah it is, i am too in doubt of searching that career
This is really amazing and Inspiring. I am also in a similar Situation where I have two career options but i dont know which to choice. Both fit in those category. But I am still not sure which to pick. How did you pick?
My tips on choosing a career:
Step1. Find at what area your good and enjoy, have interest in at. Ex: math, physics, humanities (history, philosophy etc), biology etc.
Step2. Find one area that your interested outside of school (ex, technology, building stuff, how human body works, etc)
Step3. List jobs that combine those two. If you cant find one that combine both, find one that completes at least one of the previous steps.
Step4: List ALL pros and cons of the careers you chose, know the workplace, types of work, routine of these careers. Quit the ones you think arent that interesting as you thought or simply seem boring to you. Then find your profession.
Some observations:
1. DO NOT romanticize any jobs. Every job has its boring part, its fun part, no job is perfect and there will be always pros and cons. Dont listen to ppl pretending the job is perfect. Be ready to list and research all of them and discover which one is more you.
2. Dont get desperate if you dont find your exact passion. By following those steps youre at least getting to a career you have a certain degree of interest in. Remember you can always try new things, your life doesnt depend on this decision.
3. DO NOT THINK ABOUT MONEY ON THE FIRST PLACE, THINK ABOUT IT ONLY ON STEP 3. And DO NOT THINK ABOUT STATUS OR "SOCIAL RESPECT", remeber a major doesnt define you and YOU are the one who shape how ppl view you, not a college decision.
Hope i helped.
That's Helpful
Wow, I went to so many career advisors in college but I had never talked to an asian career advisor. I'm not gonna lie, this man changed my life and brought clarity in how to work with my families' expectations and my own expectation.
Dan, I have experienced the same scenario for almost 2 years after my graduation. It takes me almost two years to find what I love to do and what my passion is about. Your shared ideas draw the same picture and it gave me confidence. It means a lot to me. Thank You!
It's 2022 now when I found this video of yours. And everything you've said changed my POV and my mindset. As you've said "You changed my life". Thank you so much. I'll never forget you if I succeed one day.
You have no idea how this video has helped me. I've been working in kitchen for almost 20 years and I now work for a (new chef ) to the company I work for and our values don't align. I've been contemplating what my next move is going to be. After watching this I have figure it out. Imy husband and I have enough money saved that I can quit my job and follow my new found passion since covid which is acrylic art and resin art. I don't know if it will take me any where but will give time to see. I can always make another move if this doesn't work out. Thank you so much for making videos like this.
I’ve switched my major 3 times now I’m just stuck not knowing what to do 🤦🏽♀️ so much time wasted on my indecisive actions. Thank you for this video it helped open up my perspective to my approach going forward 👏🏽
Wanderlust Visuals me too 🤦🏽♂️
I switched my major from Biology to Comp Sci 2 years ago and it was the greatest decision I’ve ever made.
A recommendation I would give you is to list out the possible careers and directions you could go (essentially you can always break into field but just for sakes) from each major of interest, and if you feel like you’re chasing only one or two types of jobs/areas that major offers then eliminate it. I’ve found that your more likely to give up on a career/interest if you have to go through an entire field just in hopes that one specific sub field is the one.
What happened for me is when I changed my major I was interested in almost every single aspect of the field or at least appreciative of what I’d learn from that aspect. I discovered more motivation than I ever had and took additional classes every summer semester, increased my gpa, and completed many personal projects, while also studying more material on my own.
With Biology I seemed to only care about med school and couldn’t see myself in hardly any Biology career (other than Bioinfomatics) whether it be research, any other post grad schools, or environmental jobs. So I changed majors and kept pre med, but eventually I dropped that as well because of complete interest in my computer/data science courses
Good luck :)
May I ask what what majors were you considering?
Wei4Green Psychology, Business and Administration
Same, took up STEM in highschool then now I'm taking up BS Accountancy which I discovered I HATE so now I'm deciding between pursuing Medicine and taking up some premed courses or taking up Archi, Engi or Fine Arts. I'm so indecisive!!!
Dan you're an awesome story teller! "Fix your profit(money) problem first. Next find your passion . And third your purpose. If you can find a career that can complete that triangle , you should be so happy in life. "
After gaining three degrees and trying to build a career in multiple fields I finally found myself at age of 31. How did I do that? I googled it. I gave a good thought about what I enjoy doing when I have free time. Then I added word job to it and adjective and I found my career path. As simple as that
i have been changing 4 jobs in a year.. crazy. people said i can kill my career. but i don't like what i did and the environtment, work culture, work itself , not my thing. but i need money.
Siti Hajar I did that too
You have done the right thing. Never do something you don’t like just because it may seem like a waste of time otherwise or you’ll be too old to change etc. The number one thing is to do what you love and then you’ll make money as you’ll be passionate about it.
Knowing that Dan Lok also bounced around between career paths until he reached 30 fills me with some hope about my life. I'm also pushing 30 and I've been in and out of career paths myself. Right now I believe that volunteering at a nonprofit while working at conventions might be good stepping stones for me as they might help lead me towards careers in impacting people. Even I see myself being onstage giving speeches to large audiences eventually.
I wish could have found someone like you 4 years ago after High School. You really tell us how it is. So much time has been wasted listening to College teachers and counselors. But I'm still glad I found your videos, better late than never.
23-24 years is still a pretty young age, buddy. But it's a good thing you aknowledge that every year counts 👌🏼
I bow down for you to have realised that. Work hard to make money.
Me too. I am just now learning this in my 40s.
Thanks dan, i started following you 8 monthd ago when i was in my lowest time of life and i saw the video how not to be broke, thay video changed me and i watch your video daily randomly consistently, because i learn alot of things and all my problems seems so small and easy to handle after your coaching and motivational video. Thank you very much, i will buy your class one day when i am capable, but really, all of your words are just so surreal and in detail. Thank you man. I do wish to meet you one day. Take good care of yourself.
what’s the link of that video on how not to be broke?
Who is listening this to this in October 2020 just love this this guy keep it up DAN 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Im almost 21, I've just been trying to find guidance i been feeling lost in life luckily im still pretty young but that doesn't make it any better this video rlly made me realize I haven't tried enough things
This is the first video that made sense to me. Blows my mind people discount the money side of equation. Find a way to make profit first to me makes perfect sense.
I am 14 years old but I watch these videos because I was starting to get bored in school and I feel like I have no progress in life, so I watch this kind of videos because I feel like it can help to give me more intelligence at the same time tips to secure my future.Maybe if I figure out what I really want to be I can focus on it more instead of wasting my time in school and learning nothing.
Sorry for bad English not my first language.
Agreed. You want to try as much things as possible to find your calling in life
Basically look to make money to gain:
(Time and space)
Then using that time and space try everything. You won't know unless you try if you would enjoy something and would be good at it:
Then find purpose. What do you want your legacy to be
This heart-to-heart is incredible. The message is well delivered!
It is true. Now at the age of 39 I tried alot of work. Finally last year I started my business which is Paint Center doing paint mixing. I am struggle now but because of watching and following your video it is very helpfull to me. Maybe someday I want attend one of your workshop. Thank you Danlok. Your amazing.
So, I haven't tried enough. Ok now I will try every career I would like.
From 7:50 sent a message to my brain and my cells captured it quickly.
Powerful video.
My mum told me the exact same thing!
My passion is music, and I hope to be a singer when I grow up.
My plan is to get into dentistry and make profit, and once I’m financially comfortable, I’ll go and chase my dreams!
Good luck ❤❤❤
@@rubyjane1866 thank you :))
I want to tell you that you have changed my life. Thanks a lot Mr. Lok.
These 3Ps = Purpose + Profit + Passion = Brief the IKIGAI concept, thank you so much Dan Lok !
I just graduated from... high school I think it's in English, and I had to choose something. I chose I.T. after that, the same summer holiday I started music and I knew this is what I wanted to do. after years I had no idea what to do. I wanted to be the typical firefighter, police, pro gamer, game developer, game artist, pro lego builder, artist, etc. but as soon as I started music, I knew this was the thing for me.
of course it's a lucrative career choice, so I am now working on high income skills in order to sustain myself, upgrade my life, go on trips to meet new people and network, and of course be there for my family if they need help. and this all thanks to a video I saw called "Sell me this pen." (I think we know who I talk about).
Thank you Sifu Dan for opening my eyes to the opportunities outside of 9/5 jobs
There has been a battle between passion and profit in my head - I like your perspective! Thanks for this video!
Best youtube channel on earth! What makes your videos so amazing is the insight you give. You put a unique spin on popular ideas and go against the grain. What's even better is that you effortlessly portray how much you care. I can tell teaching ia your passion and I wish my professors were more like you. Keep up the great work! You've already changed my perpective, which is only a few stepping stones from changing my life.
Dan you taught me many things that school didn’t teach me. You really change my life. Thanks you and I’m so proud of you
I'm 19 just graduated , I'll be attending Job training and courses. I guess I'll try alot of things that brings profit and then see what's my passion....
Profit > passion > purpose
I’m finishing college in a few months and I am so lost. This was incredibly inspiring!
Indeed! You are global educator
Greetings from east Africa somalia🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴
This has been the most biggest eye opener on your channel Dan Lok now I now what to do. It’s sad that my parents and schools didn’t teach me this. Thank you man 👨🙏
I'm 21 in South Africa
I want you to know that u indeed changing people's lives.
I'm a living proof of that.
And one day I pray I will meet you and tell you that you changed my life.
DAN LOK I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT YOU HAVE CHANGED MY LIFE AND CAP UP THE HARD WORK
THANK YOU FOR EVERY THING YOU HAVE DONE ON RUclips
God bless you!! Thank you for confirming the information I’ve fumbled back and forth with. It’s so hard being 16 and being told to choose your career. Do you do it makes you happy or what’s going to give you financial freedom. Especially being so impressionable it’s hard to know what to do. I appreciate your channel for inspiring young people like me and pushing us to keep it real with ourselves and our situation!
I’m an artist and I’m slowly learning how to maximize my journey and my profit
Got it sir..
I watched many videos about how to choosing career.. but that not worth it fully...
This is only video I can understand what is process of choosing life career..
Thank you sir...
Why does he have such an overwhelming positive aura surrounding him. Its too much💯💯
This is the best advice I’ve been given in a long time. Profit first, then combine profit with passion once it’s found. Too simple.
I wanted to be a doctor my entire but now I'm having second thoughts. I really don't know what to do besides medicine and I'm scared to venture into something else.
Exactly
I'm in the same boat. 2nd semester in med school. The trouble with this career is that because it takes so many years and dollars before you're even making a profit, it is a very binding path.
Have you figured stuff out so far?
@@illuminati10yearsago80 same ...just 3rd semester ....and having doubts each passing week
Perfect timing for what I am going through at this very moment. Contemplating between 2 careers.
Dan, you just pointed to my eyes what my biggest mistake was until now.
Thank you!
You're changing my life right now I've been blue for the last 2 days and this is the first bit of light that I felt in quite a while thank you
Mr. Lok you have changed my life, before I watched your videos I was just stagnant on being a therapist and an author, but now I I am focusing on making money by copy writing and soon after that closing. Thank You.
I am completely lost Dan. I'm at aged 30 and I just quit my job. I really don't know what is my right path. I have putting most of my time to my previous employment but end it up with nothing so I've decided to quit. I worked as a personal assistant and I did "everything" I means everything includes house cleaning, laundry, whatever related to his daily living. I didn't have enough sleep, sometimes he even not allowed me to go home. I do not know what I'm gonna do next. I felt I am a loser, I have nothing. Please Dan, suggests me to do something here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Guide or lead me to a correct direction. Truly appreciated.
What i do is i sit on my bed and make lists of careers i find interesting. Then i research all of them and write down prices of courses etc. I look at all the options and research the careers on RUclips etc.
Then you start eliminating some to make a shorter list. Try jobshaddowing someone too. It takes time and you have to really get to know yourself. I know the country you live in can make things so much harder, but consider immigrating (I live in South-Africa). Also look at shortage occupation lists in countries like the uk. Much easier to get a work visa when your occupation is on that list.
I know its not easy but set your goals, make plans and try your best to get there.
@@yolandimare1 Thank you for the advice! 😊
@@yolandimare1 Thanks for the advice. I am still trying to understand myself better.
@@l30ngw31 hi
I agree 100%... The common advice given by parents, friends, media to “follow your heart” or «follow your passion” etc is just naive.
If you don’t have enough capital, enough money, you will not create opportunities to «follow successfully your passion» .
Not for everyone . For me is like I do not need money to achieve my goal which is my passion I need to just work my a** off And then I can get money with my passion .
@@thndr7645 sounds like your set? How did you find this video?
This is the first time i've ever actually internalized separating my passion and profit. I heard it hundreds of times from people like Gary vee but this is the first time it's been explained in a way that I truly can understand it. Thank you. 07/10/2020
There's more time than we all think man. As long as you ain't an addict,not chasing girls or clout, testing yourself/trying something new everyday, You WILL BE SUCCESSFUL. STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF
I started college thinking I wanted to be a teacher, however I didn’t like it. I then went to get a degree in public relations and I liked it and got a degree in it. However I wasn’t able to find a job with it so I decided to go back to school and now I work as a firefighter/EMT and am working to become a paramedic as well. I never would have thought I’d come to this career field but I’m glad I found it and took that chance on it.
I had to comment on this video because this video hits really hard to me.
Compare to the rest videos of you Dan in your car I feel your story and the journey and the message you were trying to convey in this
Thanks
dan you are my idol
Damn he inspires me
Jason don't have idols
Bad taste for sure.
this is all good advice when your are young and have the time, no commitments, no real responsibilities. you can afford to risk swapping jobs.
when you get older, its harder to start something new or retraining without good financial support.
Thanks but really really thank you I was so confused about what I really want to do but now I want and I will leave no one but no one to be a barrier in front of my goals . Simon sinek ❤says " FIND YOUR WHY" and I say " FIND YOUR INSPIRATION FIND THE PEOPLE WHO INSPIRE YOU AND WORK VERY HARD WHO KHOW MAYBE ONE DAY YOU WILL SIT WITH THEM TO TAKE A TEA OR A COFFE " Dan lok sir I find you 🙏❤
Profit with passion -- purpose.
Let's be real, the world is not always about unicorns and rainbows. And we don't have to limit ourselves in doing just one job trying to be the best at it even though it's clearly not for us. It's just that, I think I'll regret my time that has been wasted.
This might get hard for me and you, but I hope one day we'll be able to live the life that we wanted.
Thank you for your videos Dan. Especially this video touched my heart when you spoke about your family. You inspire me daily. Cheers from Italy
Is that a picture of Tony Robbins in the background? Also great wealth triggers!
Yeah looks like him
Yeah
I believe next to Tony is Richard Branson. The one with spectacles at back should be Lee Kah Shing
Obviously
Maybe his wife looks similar to Tony Robbins.
At 29 as a single mother it's very hard trying to find the right one... Feeling like am wasting my life
Dont give up you can do it
You're an open-minded, good motivating person and adviser, and a humble person in people that I know!
This couldn't have come at a better time. I have a passion. But will not make the profit that I need to make. I can move on and find train and find a passion that will lead to success. Thank you Dan
“When I know What I Do impact people’s lives”.
PASSION is the key!!!
You hit a lot of points in just under 10 minutes! I've learned a lot from what you said. Thanks a lot!
First realistic advice ive heard on these kind of topics, it's very simple and yet so eye-opening
Iam literally sick of people saying follow your passion when iam literally broke financially , and this video was what I needed because I am beginning the university this year and I was so confused.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
+ I just subscribed
My biggest takeaway from all of your videos is the habit of deep thinking. How do you know what thoughts to entertain and execute?
If you can envision that the thoughts and knowledge you hold is benefiting not only you, but everyone else who gets shared the knowledge that same knowledge. That's when you know it's a thought worth expanding on and cultivating.
Well said
Hi Dan, I love how practical mindset you have. Truly love you man for the realistic advice you give which is so relatable to so many people. Thank you so much Dan really thankful 😊😊👏
M 29 still struggling to find passion... What to choose.. It's nerve wracking
Profit brings Passion
straight up no BS. No profit no benefit. Start with something first the rest will follow. Grateful !
