This is your sign to step towards living the life you desire
"Authenticity vs Connection". You want to weigh this option carefully. There is a way to be authentic without being reactive and offensive. "Its not how well you throw a punch. Its how many punches you can take, and still keep going". If you get mad... you've lost control. You lose. Edit: Free will (control) is an illusion. Fate, destiny, luck, chance..is more real than our minds can handle. Having a healthy amount of fear is beneficial...especially of the unknown. A good rule: if you want to walk through a door, its a good idea to have the ability to back up, and go through another door.
@@Bat_Boy thanks for the super thoughtful insight man!
I really enjoyed this. Thank you

Beautiful
I love this so much. Thank you.
@@Daydreaming384 you are so very welcome. It brinngs me joy to know this resonates with you
Thanks for watching y'all! How are you going to rise in 2025?
Have y'all fallen into any of these traps? I sure have... Let me know what y'all are working on!
Where do y'all want to start winning in life? Let me know!🤍
Loved the metaphor about dancing with the edge! In the past I've burned myself out numerous times in this cycle of going all out, way past my comfort zone, and then inevitably shutting down because it's unsustainable. As with all things in life, slow and steady wins the race - but it's good to have such a beautiful visual to go along witht that thought, thank you :) P.S. The video is available only up to 360p - not sure if that's intentional, but I thought I'd let u know. Happy holidays!
@@chovek____________2489 its so important to honor your edge and not destroy it, but yes dance with it, get curious about it, expand it. The overnight successes are usually the extremely small percentage of people who can blast past their edge, hit he goal, then crash hard hard hard. Slow is fast in my opinion. Feeling better each day is more sustainable then having to avoid feeling exhausting. + thanks for the heads up - started using final cutpro and im actually pretty confused about the export settings
Thank you for this video. It really resonated with me and found me at the right time.
@@mr.smikels absolutely my pleasure. Im so glad this found you and that you were open to receive! Youre right on time my friend.
its so refreshing to watch your content on this website because for 99% youtubers its all about material attraction and honestly its ZEROOOOOO percent inspiring for at least aware peole. we are right in the beginning of this wonderful new age where we can and will create this wonderful new world. most people dont innerstand the actual gift of being at this point of time during this golden age :) the age of aquarius and your videos are such an amazing work, awesome :)
wow! fckyeah mate could not agree any more deeply. What an inspired time to actually devote to the call of the new age and embody the presence required to bring this new era into form. Thank you so much for the super thoughtgul comment, I am so stoked you're here. Let's create the beautiful world we know is possible!
@@kevji lets do it brother! I am super ready to create valuable stuff and make things happen because its fun and good from inside and outside. god will give me all the abundance in life for sure :) Honestly I feel it for the first time that this will be the time for "us" .. the introverts, the doubters, the modest ones, the givers, the people with a good heart and so on. inspiration through high vibration and not the pursue of money. I opened 9 videos already and will watch them today :D have a fantastic day and see you at the next video I will comment on :D
@ i appreciate your brother. you are spot on and right on the beautiful (and challenging) path my friend. please keep on! the world craves your gifts
@@kevji thank you for your kind words :)
Nobody teaches us the nuanced art of communication, but I guarantee these practices will transform your life. let me know what y'all find most curious!
This is super helpful for me, thanks! I definitely get caught up in trying to overly enjoy the process and do it my pre-determined way rather than accepting what actually gets me the results of money. Good point that if it doesn't make money, it's a hobby.
@@RecoveredResilience so glad it resonated with you. its tricky to navigate right? we want to enjoy the process and we want to do it for us, but at the same time there has to be some degree of selflessness to the service of others. it can fluctuate but i find its easier for me to adapt to whats working and learn to enjoy that process rather than stay confined in what i overly enjoy expecting others to adapt to me
@@kevji I really love that, selfless service to others... among all the talk of boundaries, self protection and self determination in the world that's a really valuable counter balancing perspective I've forgotten about. I want to learn how to be of selfless service to others while still honoring my boundaries and not being 100% selfless ya know? :)
@ you picked up on exactly what i was trying to express! so true. its neither hyper-independence "im my own woman with boundaries" nor uber co-dependemce where youve lost yourself in the giving. such a fine line, and a line that im very passionate about... maybe ill make a video on it!
@kevji I would seriously love to hear your perspectives if you do a video on it!
This heart forward process is so encouraging! It makes me feel like what normally feels to me like a very intimidating process can be simple and enjoyable. I will try it out. Thank you
@@RecoveredResilience absolutely☘️ it is intimidating at times but one step at a time. it will seem like the world will resist your gifts from time to time, but its just a test to see if you can remain heart open and persist
Loved this video and loved the insight! Thank you very much for sharing! I recently quit my corporate job in finance to launch my own social media marketing agency (woohoo). I got great traction at the beginning (in September), but have slowed down since then. Totally get the growing pains and that building a business/reputation/client base takes time, but am eager to find ways to promote my services to land my ideal clients. Definitely going to use this tactic as I build and see how it goes. Thanks once again!
@@anyshapatel absolutely my pleasure! and thank you for sharing your journey thus far, what a beautiful chapter to unravel. This strategy will definitely help you get more clear on what resonates and what you can refine in your messaging and servicing. Is there anything else that youre struggling with or would be to know that i can make a future video on?
Great Video!
@@ChevChelios-z2v thanks partner! i appreciate you anything else youd like to see a video on that would be helpful for you?
I made a whole product, without validating... 😅 I was afraid of not finding product-market fit, but then I got around 300 signups to the free trial, and the staggering amount of 3 users bought the lifetime license! I guess I can call that PMF? 😝 It's not much, but it's a start! I'm super happy that at least those people validated it, paying real money for it. Loved the video, you got your suscribe sir!
@@pablocubicomusic hahaha ive definitely done that too but super stoked that people found resonance and some even put cash on the table! thats amazing mate. anything else that youd like to see a video on? something youre struggling with or would find helpful?
@@kevji Not so far, keep those videos coming!
@ you got it mate!
Nice video!
@@themindhunter9 thanks partner!
problem with this strategy is that it might take 1-2 years for youtube to show your videos to the right audience. so if you do only 2 weeks of content, and no one is signing up, u might be thinking that your business idea is bad, not knowing that you have the best idea, a gold mine at that. but simply because the algorithm is doing it’s thing you are not been noticed. it took me a long time to realize this.
@@Hardwaremoney totally. youtube is a much longer term play for businesses. This strategy works well on platforms that give you more immediate feedback. Of course, any form of audience is helpful but to build any business there has to be commitment to building trust through authenticity. To be launching ideas, products, and services while you build is a great way to get the audience engaged in what youre trying to create for the world. Also a huge fan of the in-person coffee shop type of networking and offering. I would definitely encourage you to keep on the youtube path and experiment with other platforms and places that feel authentic for you. Let me know anything you would like to see a future video on too! be well mate
This is exactly what ive been thinking, I want to make a pair of pants. Ive been wearing oversized dickies and styling it my way and got a lot of hits on TT. Thats one form of confirmation??
@@erichopham beautiful. not sure what TT is, but if it involves people being stoked on your pants thats definitely confirmation. More of a wranglers man myself but i can support your dickies style! Here's what i would I do: Make an artful 7 day sequence of content( if social media is where people are digging on your dickies) Show your dickies, no fluff. then tell a story about why you started styling the way you do. Ask people what they like most, do a side by side maybe of 2 pairs. Then call to action post - a lot of you have been stoked on my dickies style, so im going to do a small handcrafted batch of 10 pairs. Join the waitlist so you dont miss out on snagging this special edition pair (i plan to sell out fast) then a few more pieces of content on story + style with a call to action sprinkled in good luck mate
@ TT is TikTok! Thanks, ive done most of this, just no call to action yet!
hey, maybe u mentioned this but i had a question professor. with the example of making an artifact or painting are you channeling the thoughts into the art or creation? or should you do art about something else than these thoughts? does it matter whats ur take
@@SuperKeithers thats definitely one way of creating an artifact and i encourage you to start there. In that light, your artifact could be a poem of your thoughts. I would however work on a more intuitive medium if possible. What i mean is something that is less literal, less thinking based, and more feeling based. My personal favorite medium in this fashion is collage. I like to make 5 collages in 5 minutes- super rough but just focusing on making gestures of a feeling not perfect execution of an idea
Somehow you made me think of different aspects of my mind and body as friends -- friends that are good but need me to coach them, know their habits, reel them in, or get them on the field and running the plays. Going to think about that. Thanks for the inspiration!
Side note, the music is a little loud. Otherwise nice vid.
@@hernehill6282 i love that! thats definitely how i relate to myself too. Body, mind, heart, soul - all good buddies but buddies sometimes buddies in disagreement. I especially like this frame for my fears as well. What if my fears are friends and i just need to listen compassionately or take them out for a metaphorical beer? really helps to get down to this wisdom
@@hernehill6282 thank you so much for letting me know, ill fix it for the next one around cheers!
@@kevji Yup. My idea of heaven is internal peace and harmony. Not there but certainly closer!
@ thanks a great idea of heaven! we get moments of it, and align more to it, but being human in the imperfection is also a beautiful part of it as well
Yea this is me! I have been stuck and looping for 35 years. New subscriber.

@@graceartsgifts thank you so much for enjoying and subscribing! im glad it resonated. its so resilient that our bodies can learn to be comfortable in the discomfort of confusion and not becoming all that you can be. I like to use that as evidence FOR the possibility of change, not against! its a powerful re frame
the world does not revolve around those lovey dovey couple. they can just get a room and fuck. nobody cares or gives a shit!
Thinking is the problem ... Or, unconscious thinking at least
@@LukeDickins0n i would say yes AND... The problem deals with unconscious thinking for sure, but i find it helpful to frame it like this. Its not that thinking is the problem, rather i can start to choose to not have a problem with my thinking. This helps me take less focus from my mind and put it into my feeling body
great video
@@chrispyhertz2730 thanks partner! I really appreciate you saying that, truly
This is exactly what I happening, what I am doing.the dithering part.
@@kkrenken895 its tough, we all get stuck in this loop especially the masculine. Try creating a daily practice to help you feel into your body. stretching in the morning and evening, 30 minutes to express your emotional space (even if you dont feel anything at first) morning and evening walks are great re-calibrators for me too
Thanks! I'm definitely stuck in my head at the moment. I'm so ready for a change but I'm always trying to get info for A before committing to B, and I don't think I can get that info without first taking steps towards A. So it goes around and around.
@@davefair2969 The information overload loop... pretty soon you've gone through A-Z mentally without taking a step towards B. i get it. Practice cultivating trust in those actions that you KNOW you need to take - even if it seems unrelated. example- going to the dentist. calling that friend. fasting for a day. sometimes stretching these edges is what gets the engine moving in our creative pursuits
Nice vid, Kev 🤙
@@kindlymarketing thanks partner!
Dancing with the edge does feel awkward 😅 thanks for the reminder to stick with it and trust my nervous system is rewiring to a new comfort zone! Gotta keep that faith!

Very wise advice, communication discipline is the key to success in all business models both during opportunity definition and delivery execution. You are wise beyond your years Kev

Love the no editing idea! I’m frozen by how slow I am making things look good. How did you record this video? Is this riverside and Notion?
I actually feel like heavy editing is distracting. I use loom to screen record my notion page then just my camera to film. i do actually use an editing program to just put the two together and export
hey, kev! just wanted to stop by again and say how important your message is - especially the way you tell us to be real to our "true self!" I can see you growing your channel a lot this 2024!

I'd love to know what resonated with y'all! Drop your golden nugget o' wisdom below 💙
I don’t know why this vid has only 54 views and I am thanking youtube for showing this video in my feed It’s great to see a start up business sharing in honest journey not a youtuber promising 500000£ after doing certain steps and it doesn’t work because it was marketing for their courses. As start up business I feel most lost than ever I relateto you when shame of showing or sharing or marketing. I really wanted to be different to offer something valuable but end up so different that people don’t get it. Anyway thanks for the video and the sharing it might seem not tangible steps but they will help to clear up the way ❤
wow! thank you for such a beautiful vulnerable and honest comment. I am so glad that my journey and what feels alive for me resonates with you. Im grateful to just be raw and real about the reality of doing this whole creative business because i feel the most growth always happens when we get real with our reality, not someone elses. So glad to help be a little moment on your journey - its good to have you here and you hope you expand!
hey kev, have you thought about making these notion pages into a website? great video as always! loving these and hitting very close to home
I'm so glad that these are hitting for you! What an honor to hear, thank you for telling me. No, never thought of it actually. Is that something you'd be interested in? Maybe at some point i can start a little community, and give everyone who joins access to these pages because i know its the type of stuff that starts to hit different once you re-read it a few times.
