- The one person business model is the best option for 95% of people. Too many people dream of starting a billion dollar business and end up doing nothing about it. Start small, with a low startup cost, low risk, and build yourself in public over time.

I had fifty employees two years ago and worked sixteen hour days and was miserable I fired everyone, moved to Bali, and now have two people on Fiver. Work six hours a day in a niche market, refuse to take meetings unless they are mission critical, and spend the rest of my time with friends and my girlfriend or yoga or freediving. I would never go back.
Any advice in what to create on Fiverr ? Thanks 🙏🏽
Sounds great. I wish you all the best
Elaborate more your process
I spent 1 year trying Fiverr . The success is not big but look back I have a lot of time for self improvement
You outsourced your work through Fiverr or you have 2 employees taking orders through Fiverr?
"People need to be reminded more than they need something new". I HAD to hear this. I've recently been learning that I don't have to come up massively brilliant ideas for every single videos or piece of content I make. Sometimes a reminder is enough to motivate and keep inspiring your audience. Much love.
Glad it helped my man!
I fight with this one all the time. I always feel like it has to be innovative. But I think that’s selfishly more for myself and keeping it interesting for me than my audience. 😮
I heard zig ziglar say it 10+ years ago and it changed how I communicate
Thanks for highlighting this.
Great comment, Jonny. That part also resonated with me.
Right after you mentioned figuring out the meaning of life, I swear I heard a beautiful mixture of Tolle and Watts' ideologies. Fantastic stuff. 👍
To anyone reading this - I wish you the best and please don't do what I'm doing. Don't battle your fears for _too long_ . It's emotionally exhausting. Let your curiosity reign over your fears, sooner rather than later.
Thank you Dan. It's always beautiful to have someone who can help, and someone to help. 🙏
Crazy that you can talk for 25 minutes based on (almost just) a 1 line quote and actually still not say anything irrelevant, still keep flow throughout the whole 'story' and get such an impactful message across. One among many other masterpieces you've put out there. Well done, and thanks for the content, Dan! :)
Inspired me to start creating content myself on similar topics so excited to get on this journey.
Hahaha thank you, I've found that's my "edge" so i'm leaning into it. Good luck on the content creation journey! You'll love it
you can truly keep talking if it is genuine
Im a business owner and i have a lot of friends that are business owners, and this guy is right. The ones who are winning are the ones who are doing shit online, no employees, something new, service based/subscription based, etc. You don’t need partners, employees, physical locations with landlords down your throat, etc. It’s a new wave, times are changing fast.
I absolutely love the fact that while you're going through your main thought flow, you don't hide those little iterations and side-thoughts which are also a necessary part of the way of your message. Same with any routes out there: the main road will bring us to the ultimate destination but it also has its cross streets and lateral streets without which the map is not complete.
You're doing a great job, Dan. Keep it up.

The power for creating a better future is contained in the present moment, You create a good future by creating a good present.The key to financial freedom and great wealth is a person's ability to convert earned income into passive income to build generational wealth ,this trick has never failed .
I love that you incorporated 'what is the meaning of life'
That's literally why I became a freelancer and work online. To me travel, freedom, assisting people and self-reliance are the meaning of life.
“The goal of all life is death” - Overlord
Blasphemer, the fiery pits of lava and brimstone await your cuckold presence.
I'm so drained by my full-time corporate job and struggle to have the time and motivation for my small business that I started a few months ago. I also had so much self-doubt about how I should present my own brand, and seeing how the others are doing it on Social Media just didn't help. Your video is what I need atm, thank you! :))
Starting a one-person business is a great way to put your high value skills to work! Just remember, you'll have to wear all the hats - CEO, CFO, janitor, and everything in between. But hey, at least you won't have to deal with any office politics! Just you, yourself, and your awesome ideas.
Thank you for putting this out and making it really simple and relatable for layman. It's almost an zen-like artistry what you're doing here and it's so different and refreshing vs all the other mechanical gurus out there. I was thinking/stuck on this process and you've just unstuck it for me. Big thanks and I am definitely subscribing and liking your content!
"the lips of wisdom are closed to except to the ears of understanding." man that hits.. and resonates in many different levels...
This is elite-level articulation and self-expression. Appreciate this.
As somebody who tends to get too caught up in the big ideas, learning how to ground things in small and remind myself that 1. I'm not a billion dollar business, and 2. I'm allowed to fail before I find success, have been huge. Working with my Studio has been such a deep process of discovery and figuring out what exactly I'm trying to create for the world, and even finding what exactly the "problem" is that I'm trying to fix. Sometimes you have to look at the guy with a crappy webcam that gets millions of views cause what he's saying resonates. People care more about how they relate to our product rather than how much money we've put into it... and boy did I have to learn that the hard way. Thanks for sharing, Dan! :)
100% me: Finding what you're trying to solve with your business.
It may look obvious, but deep down, there's no end to figuring out the details about what you're trying to solve.
@@yoricman I think the cool thing though about being a business owner/developing a personal brand is that where you are in business is often directly correlated to where you are in life and how well you know yourself. If you know your product and are confident in yourself, likely, you’re doing well in selling your product. If you’re weak-minded, lack certainty, and don’t believe in yourself… then you should check out Studio Raphael 😉. Hehe. Jokes aside, business began by trading with others by offering skills that others lack but could use for something. So… find what you’re good at, become the best at it, and sell. If you fail, see it not as a reflection of yourself, but rather as where you’re currently at. Then learn and grow. Rinse and repeat. ☺️🙏🏼.
@@studioraphael Much wisdom and experience in your comment. I couldn't have said it better.
A great mentor of mine says 99% of business problems are self-development problem of the person in charge of the business.
Self-growth is so important because it caps (impose an upper limit) everything you do in life.
My personal challenge is to gain clarity and improve my verbal communication skill. The author of this channel is an expert at this, so inspiring.
@@yoricman Definitely. And the best way to do that is through practice, so thank you for sharing in this conversation with me! Healthy and positive discussion where people take the time to understand one another’s viewpoints is extremely important for any communicator. I’m gonna’ be talking empathy myself this week, be cool to see you in the conversation ☺️. Wishing you well!
Thank you Dan, I love how you are literally doing exactly what you're preaching. I truly needed the mapping that you offer 🙏🏼💯 Much love
What you said @12:20 hit the nail on the head for me. I need to constantly remind myself that being interesting doesn’t mean being so technical and clever rather actually giving the audience what they want. So simple yet struggle to implement this. Thank you for sharing very grateful.
I love this concept. Even a billion dollar business must start with one. I truly enjoyed this video, thank you.
You definitely deserve a like and a follow! You talk about being a solopreneur in a very original way, that I have not heard from other RUclipsrs. You are very clear and concise and to the point. Keep it up!
Thank you for this video! You talk about so many factors of starting a buisness and growing it. You make it look so simple but there is so much wisdom in almost every sentence you speak.
It resonated instantly ! You got a new subsciber here. I will definitly follow your channel and use it to start my own buisness ( Fitness/ Health Coach ).
Take care Brother !
This was the most honest and simplistic way to explain this. Thank you so much for this! After looking for these answers for years and years, all I needed was this video.
no flashy lighting, no fancy animation.
pure wisdom for 25min on how to start one-person business.
subscribed. 🍁🍁🍁
hey Dan, love your content.
i rarely find people that i resonate with and are able to massively increase my awareness with 1 or 2 vids, but you're one of those people that's able to do so🔥
Thanks for sharing this massive value.
I appreciate that brother, glad to have you here!
Dan I really resonated with your viewpoint and definition of the meaning of life! I contemplate purpose and meaning, passion and values often, but attacking it from the perspective that every one in this world is born with a different set of circumstances therefore they have different problems to solve so they're purpose is more aligned to those particular set of problems feels right! I really love that bro!
Man I’m SO GLAD I found this channel ! Recently quit my job and doing delivery apps to survive while going to school and finding my “thing” to make videos on or content .
You are going to skyrocket your RUclips channel man, I really appreciate your content and I find your ideas and thoughts very valuable. Keep going.
I really love this style of communication. I like how you didn't create a ton of fluff around the core message. You went straight to the deep part of the problem. I like it.
Loved this video. As soon as you articulated how I can help other people a step or two behind me, it all clicked for me. Immediately went and recorded a video on my journey of how I got to where I am now. Thank you so much Dan Koe. And then loved the bit at the end about exploring our own unconsciousness to make it conscious. I read a lot of Jung and it's helped my life immensely. Subbed and liked the video
Congrats for taking immediate action and posting a video on your own journey
Your perspective and ability to articulate is so helpful to me and has given me lots of thoughts to chew on. Thank you!
Your videos are always full of enlightening, inspiring and educating information. I love this quote "The lips of wisdom are closed except to the ears of understanding” Thank you!
This is the first video I saw of you, it appeared in my Feed, I needed to hear all of this, thanks
Subbed. It’s pretty rare I come across a channel with well thought out and not flashy videos.
Can't believe this video is free. The knowledge I gained from you is insanely valuable. I appreciate the wisdom you provided.
Dude there are alot of people I watch on youtube on daily basis, and I haven't subscribed to them. But you.. Wow man.. 2 videos in and Im subscribing. Your videos are solid, from the heart, the struggle you have been through can be seen on your face and in the depth of your words. Im glad I came across your content. I just started my content creation journey, and I hope one day we can connect.
Wish you all the best!
Thank you, Internet angels, for letting this man and this channel appear on my timeline! I'm not even necessarily looking for a new path to income, but this was awesomely-thought-provoking. It's clear you are so genuine and I'm glad you found a way to make that work for yourself. Inspired to do the same. Thank you!
Thank you Candace🙏🙏
Bro!!! I’m so glad I ran across your channel. Where have you been??? I felt your energy from the first video I saw of yours then I started going through your videos I learned we share very similar views on subjects you’ve talked about. Here you start talking about raising consciousness levels of the collective and then the quote from the Kyballion. That’s probably my most favorite book of all time as far as application to one’s life. I look forward to binge watch the rest of your videos. I just do not understand how the algorithm is just now putting you in my rotation!
Wooooooooow when you said documentary your journey, that blew my mind and was such an a-ha and light bulb moment.
Ties together branding, marketing myself, the sheer joy of writing + developing it as a skill further.
@dan you are fr fr slowly changing my life. I integrate small changes into my daily routine that you emphasize, and it works. Thank you for not being click bait or talking in unfulfilled circles.
💗 love you Dan Great content! And the music in the background its so relaxing.
This will be my, AM video. Thank you for everything.
I have been creating content over the past 3 weeks.
I am a generalist.
Fitness, Mindset, Spirituality, Men's Style, Grooming.
So much to learn, but it is exciting.
1:52 ideas are things. ideas come from thoughts. ideas become things. you control your thoughts.
this means what you think becomes reality.
Vastly underrated content. Thx for sharing mate 👍much appreciated post.
Thank you for sharing, you're putting in words what I've felt for many years but could not articulate. You've got yourself a new subscriber.
The value you are creating is insane. Thank you so much for your authenticity and for sharing your knowledge with us. Really appreciate you.
Insane? 😂
You have such an unique perspective on things. Love your content!
Hi Dan, recently discovered your channel, I like that you are straight to the point, and so effective in communication. Looking forward for more!
We shall all work on our communication.
Communicating ideas is underrated but one of the most valuable skills
Subscribed and even put notis on. Thank you for creating this.
Thanks for creating this video! It's definitely in alignment with where I'm at in my creative/entrepreneurial journey. I'm currently in the process of pivoting and restructuring my creative studio to reflect the updated vision we have for our brand. This video provided some helpful insight and clarified that we are thinking and moving in the right direction. #gratitude
Love your content.
You’re one of the only people on IG I keep on notification mode 🛎️
First time seeing your work, Dan - I watched the whole video and you got a subscriber. Solid, keeping it real, so real and authentic. I appreciate that man, thank you.
You really clarified the actual process and logic for building value-content-audience-product-business. You've got a unique handle on this, or at least a uniquely clear way of articulating it. As an "aspiring entrepreneur" for 19 years already, since dropping out of college in my early twenties and failing hard, I see the wisdom and truth in what you're laying out.
Several bits stood out for me:
>>> It is only logical to be sharing valuable free content BEFORE soliciting paid work.
This affirms my recent re-commitment to start putting out lots of content, after years of collecting my learning and value in private. Your video comes at a perfect time.
>>> "Your brand is your vision for the future"
This is a POWERFUL definition/framing I have not heard before, and I love it! Especially as someone who is strongly a visionary, and who has often though I'm not good at selling myself/branding myself. This clarifies and simplifies it for me, and more importantly, redeems branding as something authentic.
>>> Raise the collective consciousness by giving out pieces of your map. Then, my products themselves are the map, as complete as possible.
Great way to tie purpose into practicality; raising the collective consciousness must be a fundamental human drive for all those, like you and I, who are on a path of conscious growth. And the nuance of sharing "pieces of the map" for free, and the product providing the value of being the as-complete-as-possible map, that is gold.
As you identify, people pay for
1. Aggregation
2. Speed
3. Convenience
I'm sure you weren't trying to make an all-time comprehensive list there. Those are good points. A few more which occurred to me:
4. Curation
5. Advice/recommendations
6. Beauty/pleasure/joy & reduction of pain
Again, great video, great insights, well worth the time.
I'm 4 minutes into your first video Dan and I'm loving the vibe. Truth!
This is blowing my mind. I can’t help but get the feeling that this is changing my life. I never comment on RUclips videos but I have to say thank you.
Thanks Dan, I really value your content. You make me feel like this big online personal brand dream is reachable. I found you at the right time, and I am grateful for that. Cheers bro.
Same feeling, It gives inspiration to start one's own journey. I'm also on this path.
Good to hear this from another creator - I have done much of what you talked about and put it out there - so, what you are sharing is high value and WORKS! Over the years I slacked off and got comfortable and needed a kick in the butt and this video did so….THANK YOU!
Mic sounds great! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Thank you!!
Thanks, your video came out of now where on my feed and it was refreshing. I started my channel a year ago, it’s so random and I’m amazed people tune into it. Thank you, your advice is sound. We think “ oh, someone already made a video on it” but who cares. The time is going to pass regardless so me might as well all have content
Seen you for the first time, and subscribed. Thank you so much Dan Lots of value after value. And l loved the conscious bit at the end. I needed that reminder in the place l am right now.
You are right now playing as a fantasy in awareness, as i continue watching your videos. You are an epitome of the person I will transmutating to after I work-out my communicative leg!!! Damn I am overwhelmed.
I started a business 14 years ago. First year made 36k now up 275k. People keep asking me how I got into my business how do you start. This must be sign for me to start teaching what I know.
I can't believe all of these gems are free Dan. You're super generous, there is so much value here.
Thank you so much, I've learned a lot!
Subscribed and will stay tuned for more as I start my own online business.
No more bullshit excuses, I'm tired of postponing my dream life.
Well he does make money off these videos through the Google Adsense. He’s making these videos to make money.
Bro. This is one the realest video I have seen in such a long long time.
Loved every moment of this video! Thank you for your work and helping me to better understand myself ❤
Have been debating taking the leap for months, that kybalion quote was actually what was making me consider not starting, thinking anything I figure out should be kept secret, but the way you applied it just helped me see a different perspective
Connected a couple neurons with this video and now know where to start, thank you 🤝
Thanks for this man!
Dude, respect. Your style is great. So simple to understand. There’s so many ppl I know the could learn from you.
Thanks for all the videos on your channel. You are my Guru now! 🙏🏽
You distilled entrepreneurship to its barest essence and I haven't come across anyone with this particular perspective. Sometimes it can be overwhelming, having to deal with the entire scope of running your business. And in those moments it does help to stop overthinking it and just return to the essence: we're all just a clump of meat on a journey of discovery. And whenever you discover something useful, you simply share it with other people who are looking into the same things. And sometimes that can lead to a job or business transaction.
Well said. Connecting with like-minded people goes a long way. And as you said, sharing your insights is a nice place to start.
Thanks for this video man. Currently I am a college student, but I’m trying to grow a mindset coaching business on the side. I have been overthinking a lot and consuming content instead of just taking action and learning along the way. Your video gives some good insights. I agree, if you are going to do something for the rest of your life, you might as well just get started - it doesn’t matter how long it will take.
Same with me: consuming a lot of contents, and not taking enough actions.
I wish everyone can find the will to take persistent action, this might be key.
Thank you. Watched from beginning to end. You made me realize a really important thing.
I’m so obsessed with what you said about the meaning of life that I wrote down every word. 😅❤
one of the clearest and most insightful videos i’ve ever seen jesus christ
your channel is a gold mine, I'm so glad I stumbled upon this
Glad i found your channel Dan been looking for a long time of some kind of guide to do this!. Dan spitting facts!
Love everything that I’m learning here. Looking forward to applying it to my life 🙏
“Counterintuitive “, that was a great point indeed... very nice video, definitely interesting and quite insightful. Fixing your own problems/questions by sharing your “path” with others is simple but genial, great reminder
I thouroughly enjoy the inclusion of esoteric wisdom in your videos. I have been so interested in hermeticisim but always failed to see how such knowledge could be utilized in such a productive way.
You're an absolute Maverick.
Bro, what a gem is your channel, thank you so much! greeting from Colombia
I like the way you think and I adapting the same process. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for this vid man, I love how down to earth and straight up this was it really put the entire process into a digestible perspective. Immediately makes me wanna take action and ask the right questions. Can't thank you enough for this brilliant content.
Means the world man, thank you for watching and good luck on your journey🙏
I've discovered you at the exact time that I needed to. You're an inspiration Dan!
love your clarity of thought...
Love how real you kept this video. Great content…Thank you!
you are the real deal man!! never stop
words in this particular video are very much real , implementable, organic and i feel they were all there in my mind....but ur giving them voice.......thanks a lot for this type of conversation..........when u speak in front a camera like this......its a dialogue and not a monologue.........and u have made it totally relatable.........
Needed this thanks man !!!! 🔥🔥🔥
@DanKoe Wow, thank goodness you came across my feed today! First video, 5 in the queue....the alignment as I'm launching my brand this week is powerful! Thank you for BEing uniquely YOU💥🤩⚡️
Self Education or self informing is the key. So many people appeal to authority for solutions and learn nothing about how to resolve their own problems, always relying on others to do it for them. I guess you could call them potential clients.
I wasn't sure initially if you could motivate me because I am so so introspective and while part of my income comes from working for myself I've never known how to either motivate myself to expand or get over the fear of failure and these hold me back. I think you might be getting through.
Thanks for the great content Dan, I hope to start my journey on content creation. Thanks for all the helpful advice! :D
Brilliant as always. You deserve all the success in world with content like.
Fantastic info here, brother. I'm glad I stumbled into it. This is exactly what I need to hear today. Liked and Subbed.
Thank you, bro! Love your content! 👍👍👍
Great content, Dan! Thank you for sharing!
I am getting closer to my epic life with every vid I watch form you dan, as it is packed with useful info for my stage. And yes it is becoming a bit repetitive but at least I am building a foundation for my future self.
I appreciate your wisdom and insight. Definitely provided some focus.
One of the best talks/videos I've ever watched. When you go viral, this video will be top 3!
My. Man.🤝
This video is life changing
Such a generous post, man. Thank you sooo much.
This is so awesome and helpful, thank you so much :)
One way to see the meaning of life is to become who we are and create what we are meant to create by sharing and expressing our own & unique Gifts 🎁 & Talents ❤
Your content is honest and really important. Thank you
