How To Chase Your Dreams In Your 20s
“The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he's always doing both. ”

Personal Notes: This was a new type of video for me. Generally I explore my research around the aspects of my life that I want to improve and share my learnings. In this video, I looked backwards and shared what I learned over the last ten years and shared it with the internet. Truthfully, the former is more fun for me, so I expect to go back to that format in the future. But this was still a great experience for me to look back on the years and compile what I learned. Thanks for watching.

The last time I flew an airplane, we almost crashed. There was a high pressure moment, and I failed. So I quit flight school, and I settled for smaller dreams. But after a few years of reflection, I've come to realize that I need to face this fear of pressure head on. So in this video, I'm going back to flight school, but this time I'll be equipped with new techniques to overcome pressure. I ho...

Переглядів 9 тис.Рік тому
I think a lot of people struggle with making new friends. In a recent study, it was found that nearly half of Americans have not made a new friend in the last 5 years. And since no one teaches you this stuff, I decided to teach myself. So I've read and listened to over 30 books on relationships, friendships, small talk, and charisma that have helped me immensely. 00:00 Intro 00:59 Go to recurri...
How To Make The Next 100 Days the Best Of Your Life
Переглядів 224 тис.Рік тому
A friend recently asked me what I would do if I wanted to make the next 100 days the best of my life. At first I rattled off a few ideas. "Meditate, eat better, pay off debt." But in reality, I had tried doing all of those things at times but never actually stuck to them long-term. So I went on a soul searching mission to figure out why I was so unsuccessful in building good habits in the past ...

Startup Idea: Stocks Are The New Sports Teams In 2020, we have significantly fewer entertainment opportunities. Concerts, movies, sports games are all on hiatus. People have turned to the stock market for entertainment. During this period an interesting relationship is forming. People are becoming "fanatical" about the stocks they own. As fans, I believe these individuals want to own merchandis...

Thanks you so much
When I started the video, I thought this guy must have a million subscribers until I got to the end and checked it out. Good work man, I'm sure you'll grow to that level eventually.
Solid advice. Would have been an added bonus if you would have included a list of top 3/5/n books from the 30 books you had read on friendships/relationships.
Well done! Very helpful Thank you Joel
hello. I am starting my day 1 today. I am committing to improving myself for the next 100 days. I will be updating weekly. wish me luck.
Hi Joel, If you wouldn't mind sharing your spreadsheet I'd appreciate it.
Hey Andy docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pMkHnQ-pJ9hKTe7VrRQvjy0IN1kKpZah/copy
10:05 you gonna be sooo good runner 😂
Great video!!!
the easiest for me is going to be no screen time before I ended my work tasks of the day
What a fantastic video! I had to rewatch certain parts of it to take notes, so that I don't forget. It seems I need to work on the first two principles to reach my goals.
great info man! I like the way you broke down the points.
Amazing content thank you
I'll be grateful if you don't apply background music in your future contents
Can you recommend the best book of this 30? And can you recommend a book about the mindset and beliefs when it comes to friendships? I know it has to do with childhood and what you learned there....
1. Platonic - Marisa Franco was the most actionable, i.e. go to recurring events. It works. 2. The first few chapters of The Charisma Formula was the most mind expanding to me. You don't need to read the whole book. Just the few chapters covers it all.
Can you please share the excel?
Hey here’s a link. You can download it and then start editing it. docs.google.com/file/d/1pMkHnQ-pJ9hKTe7VrRQvjy0IN1kKpZah/edit?usp=docslist_api&filetype=msexcel

Always appreciate the support Gabe! Thank you! And you nailed it, let's make the 30s the best decade yet!
Top tier of self improvement content right here. Refreshing to watch a video with such actionable advice - keep them coming!
Joel At the start of my career/job at small-medium scale company after completing my internship should i aspire to be a Generalist or a Specialist at 1 skill or something like that ? What works the best to achieve success at faster pace in terms of making money.. I work as a Hvac design engineer for commercial air conditioning projects in Aec construction industry. Good books suggestions on this topic would be helpful if you could recommend some..
Usually, highly specialized technical skills tend to lead to the highest incomes. But that takes time. There is nothing wrong with starting out with a general, open mind and specializing as you learn more and more what you like, what you are good at, and what people want to pay you a lot of money to do.
It’s wonderful to see you back, Joel! 💚 I’ve been replaying the video “How to make the next 100 days the best of your life” and applied the “burn the ship” method you mentioned for my career change. I feel positive about my decision, even though some people around me may not understand why I decided to stay at home, learn about myself, and prepare for a new career. They seem uneasy and want to hurry things along, but I’m staying true to my choice. Thank you for creating that video. I truly value and support your sharing of knowledge and experiences. It has been beneficial and transformative for viewers, and I hope you continue to share with the community of lifelong learners on the same journey as you.
@daodiennhi6189, thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement. It means a lot to me. The path to the career of your dreams can be filled with friends and family who have doubts, but it sounds like you are staying true to yourself and forging ahead. That takes a lot of strength and you should be proud of yourself! Thanks again for turning in and sharing those kind words. If there is ever anything I can do to help with this new career, please let me know!
Joel could you also share tips on How to convince employers to hire me when i had a 4 yrs career gap just after my internship period due to covid & family reasons ? Also i haven't done any volunteer job or certification courses during this period but i have watched many useful lectures on UA-cam + all the essential skills required to do my role as hvac design engineer in Aec construction industry..so how to tailor my resume? Possible ways to handle upcoming challenges or opportunities to succeed without coming up across as unprofessional in any way ?? Any book recommendations on this topic to get selected would be helpful too...
The single most important thing going interview is explaining honestly to the employer how this job will help you achieve your dream. Does it help you support your family, does it help you learn a skill you care about deeply, does hit help you serve a community you care about deeply, etc. The key is being super clear on why this job is right for you and why you will stay motivated at it for a long time. If HVAC work is your goal, is there a trade school you can go to? Can you convince someone to let you apprentice with them for a year, etc? Gain the skills and you'll be incredibly highly sought after.
@@joelr5840 Thank you so much 💚 it means a lot !! On this topic also of gaining soft skills & money making or becoming expert at our field which top books comes to ur mind ? In the mean time i will read those 📗 books to be prepared for the challenges or opportunities..
Amazing video!!
Thanks for the kind words, Josue! I really appreciate all of your support in creating this video.
Super Valuable tips ⭐ Could you tell me how to bounce back after some failures in the context of professional growth & thoughtful preparation to tackle upcoming challenges head on ? Especially in the face of uncertainty where there are a lot of things to do so how to go step by step without getting caught in unnecessary or less rewarding tasks.. Would be interesting to see your favourite books recommendations on these subjects to extract specific information..
Thanks so much for tuning in and the kind words. I think the best book on challenges, failures is "The Obstacle Is the Way" by Ryan Holliday. I would highly recommend reading or listening to it. I have a lot of thoughts on failures, but to sum it up: 1. Everyone, and I mean everyone, who does hard things, experiences years of hardship. It is the price one must pay to get to the next level. 2. Wisdom tell us that life is less about what happens to you and more about how you react to what happens to you. 3. If you find you are failing more than you'd like, do everything you can to find mentorship. Someone who can guide you through those challenges and help you avoid mistakes along the way.
yeah, it all sounds good but in real life we actually have to consider both good and bad things that can happen during the process, what if i won't be able to make any buisness niether will be able to study and get a good job, like literally ducked up from all sides'
Hey, thanks for the feedback. I think it is all a question of what you value most. Do you value the dream most, do you value money most, time with others, etc. For me, it was never about money. It was always about creating something new during my time on earth. That is how I measured success. I knew things could go badly (they did for many years) but I put the dream above everything, which I think is a common theme of those who pursue their passions.

I'm on it 😐
I always love that not only doing you do the research and tell us what you've learned, but you always give such concrete and personal examples that make it incredibly tangible.
Too kind, Kevin! Thanks for tuning in.
I wanted to pop back in and say this practice is still working for me! I did a two-month fast from UA-cam with only the consequence of having to text a friend if I failed -- and it worked! I never had to text her.
Thank you so much for coming back and sharing that. It means a lot to me. And a major congratulations on succeeding with your goal. Do you have any plans to start a new challenge now that you've successfully completed your 2 month YT fast?
@@joelr5840 Thanks so much! Since I didn't really focus on implementing the important but not urgent goals from your video, I'm plannng to work on those next.
Great video. Learnt a lot. And well done for getting back in the air!
Production: A* Information: A* Execution:A* You can tell sinbad has taught well! Subscribed. As a trader, this video was perfect, as pressure in trading is the leading cause of bad decisions leading to losses.
Thanks so much for the kind words, Josh! Greatly appreciated. Trading is a crazy game. So much pressure and a whirlwind of emotions. Wishing you great success with managing the pressure and absolutely crushing your trading!
@@joelr5840 Thank you Joel, you are very correct, its a big challenge considering the stats of failure, but videos like yours only help me. Keep up with the insane quality!
I loved this video! I am writing my finals in about two weeks and I am super nervous and know that I am going to be under pressure. But this video was really helpful and be proud of yourself for flying again! Regards from Germany
Thanks so much Tamara! Good luck on your finals!
I'll burn the ships🔥 Hell subscribed to your channel I'll watch all your uploaded videos and I'll definitely executive the things I learn from here.
Great video Joel! It is full of outstanding advice. Researching this topic, I have found similar things myself!
Thanks, Juls! Wishing you an incredibly successful next 100 days
😭underrated video am pretty sure u will grow up soon can uh make video on how to learn anything fast for long term memory
Thank you Shanaya! I really appreciate the kind words. Poured myself into this video and learned a ton about myself! And absolutely. Learning is a topic I find very interesting. Will certainly work that in to a video soon!
This video is masterpiece and such a underrated one. The fact "only" 770 people have saw this video is not fair. Should be in thousands. Keep working this video has helped me a lot and keeps helping 💪
Thank you! Poured my heart into this one! Really appreciate the encouragement to keep going. 💪
This really is quality content, also comparing to many other self-improvement videos.
Thanks Patrick, I really appreciate the kind words. Poured my heart into this one, and it has been really awesome to see it making a positive impact in people's lives. Wishing you a wildly successful next 100 days. -Joel
Great Video! If you learn how to get the best out of the UA-cam algorithm you will make your channel massive, your content deserves more subs /views. Thanks good luck ☺️
Thank you! I really appreciate it. Yeah, the algorithm is tricky! Some of my more recent videos I thought would take off, but only got a few hundred views. But I am enjoying the journey nonetheless. Thanks again for the kind words, and wishing you an incredible next 100 days!
Only 4k subs?! What
Thanks so much for turning in and the kind words. When I published this video, I had 8 subscribers, so it has been pretty cool to see it grow! Wishing you a wildly successful next 100 days!
@@joelr5840 Thanks Joel, I am subscribed. I just moved to a new country by myself for 4 months and want to make it the best 120 days of my life. I get lonely and anxious at times so there are days where I am struggling to find the motivation to keep pushing. Do you maybe have a video for that or planning on making one?
Hi Joel, I really find your idea of burning the ships a good motivator to try out, but I'm still stuck on ways I can make it work for myself, running 10 miles doesn't feel as too much of a motivator for me for 2 reasons, one I like running and two, after my internship day it's dark outside and my parents won't really allow me to run in the dark (also because i'm a girl). Now I want to find something that would be a good motivator for me (what i need to finish is an internship report by the end of my internship, but every day i just don't feel satisfied with what i got done, i feel like im going so slow and lose focus quickly) do you have any advice?
Hey GK! There are a lot of ways to burn the ships. Here are two ideas: 1. Make a donation to charity each day you don't put solid work into the project. 2. Tell someone at your internship that you really admire (preferably your boss) that you are going to have a draft report done by date X. Date X should come before the actual due date. Then you will feel the pressure to complete the report sooner than the actual due date. Let me know if that is helpful!
@@joelr5840 Hi Joel, thank you for your reply, I have been thinking about the principle and came up with a cold shower, which did work for me. Your suggestions are great in addition, I can definitely tell my internship supervisor when I will have a draft ready to have more long term motivation!
@@GK-pc4qb Awesome! Good luck!
