Dan Koe is single handedly helping bring about new systems for the future of employment.
“Fail hard, fail fast” love it❤
Find it so cool that we're going to be able to use a product created from someone who's delivered us so much value.
Makes me feel like my notion templates are so elementary.
Excited for Kortex to be a part of the arsenal.
found your channel at 10k subs, now we are at 650k
Well deserved Dan
How long ago was this? When he had 10k
@@NuMuzikZYX honestly not so long ago, time fleis but i would say like 6months ago tops
its crazy how he only has 650k. This guy deserves 10million
Dan is the only guy on UA-cam that gives value before the video starts
For real
The one thing I would watch out for is social media can "select" for certain opinions. Start with an idea and then _search out_ the specific people that would benefit from that idea and try to share it with them first. The main thing I would warn people against is becoming "audience captured" by people they didn't even care about to begin with but now have no choice but to design their product for.
This!!!
@benbowers3613 can you explain this further?
@@tiffanyonwudinantii think he meant to create content specifically to the target audience rather than the audience trying to choose the topic for you hence “audience captured”
@@tiffanyonwudinanti Perhaps another way to put this is, you should only ever allow user feedback to inform what kinds of features and at what prices you should provide. But never allow user feedback to tell you what your "business philosophy" is. Start a business for a particular reason, communicate that reason, and listen to feedback insofar as it is users informing you how you can better help them in service of that reason. BUT, don't let users _pick your reason for you._
@@benbowers3613 While I agree, this also may be at odds with what people are willing to pay for. You would need to spend a lot of time trying to see what language persuades people to become invested in what you have to offer. This may not come directly in the form of typed feedback, but it may come in the form of views and data metrics, which are harder to decipher due to confounding factors like the randomness of social media algorithms.
This guy is the REAL DEAL. Few people influence me, Dan does.
When you work on something that only has the capacity to make you 5 dollars, it does not matter how much harder you work - the most you will make is 5 dollars.❤
People dont understand that the prices of things are never going back down. This inflation is deeper than we think. Those buying groceries are well aware that the real inflation is much over 10%. The increments dont match our income, yet certain investors still earn over $365,000 in stocks and assets. Wish I could accomplish that.
Very possible! especially at this moment. Profits can be made in many different ways, but such intricate transactions should only be handled by seasoned market professionals.
Some persons think inves'tin is all about buying stocks; I think going into the stock market without a good experience is a big risk, that's why I'm lucky to have seen someone like mr Brian.
Finding yourself a good broker is as same as finding a good wife, which you go less stress, you get just enough with so much little effort at things
Brian demonstrates an excellent understanding of market trends, making well informed decisions that leads to consistent profit
"Money is a tool to build what you want, but doesn't exist."
Beautiful line
so most are in debt, but it doesnt exist? 😂
@@thatsidewalktechnically, no. It doesn't
@@MinisterRedPill call your bank and tell em 😂
The point about building an audience before productizing your offer is spot on. One tactic often overlooked is leveraging existing online communities related to your niche to validate your ideas and build your initial user base, which can dramatically reduce market entry risks and initial marketing costs. Remember, engaging with these communities genuinely is key; it's about adding value, not just broadcasting your message.
This man is illegal
I didn't see more value and truth in my life how I see right now in this video.
I love you Man , thank you for all !
Your life and journey Dan koe is a map of instructions and lessons for us.
So excited for Kortex Dan! I write so much about my ideas for philosophy, self development, and healing, but always feel I’m lacking a way to organize and synthesize my essays, thank you for developing this and sharing your learnings in the process! ❤
Lesson number 1: Find final boss asian team 🤣
When he was first talking about pane management and I thought it was about the customer's PAIN management.
This is exactly where my mind went as well.
thank you for changing the title.. I hated watching this video as it was not for me, but seemed to be!
keep up the content man
Love this authentic format, something different.
Enjoy your usual filming style,
but prefer this way more 🤝📈
Thank you for being so transparent and showing us the different side of the world. Appretiate everything that you are doing.
I cannot thank you enough for these videos, Dan. Content on a Sunday, no less. Top.
Ever think about using hot keys to open/close secondary and more windows?
Like playing a video game and using hotkeys for abilities.
Many folks already alt+tab their windows. Would be interesting though 🤔
So much talent in T.O and UoT !! Proud of these gentlemen !!!
Love your content, regards from Bolivia 🇧🇴🙏🏽
This is so much more helpful than the usual advice of niching first! I have so many ideas and have been confused what niche to choose. I am going to write and test what people like! Thanks, it's like an enormous pressure relieved :)
Same family cheers from California 🎉
I am already working on the software that will allow UA-camrs share more value in exchange for subscriptions (basically lead magnets inside youtube). This episode is perfect in timing
DK is like from the future mindset way of thinking.
Big fan of Notion. I know Dan is too. I’m following his content workflow I’m excited that he’s developing a product customized to exactly what he does. The writing course is genius and I’m in the first Kortex cohort starting in a week or so. Can’t wait to get my hands on this.
Such a cool project. Very inspiring to see the process. Thank you for sharing your journey & behind the scenes!!
I seriously love this new way of creating videos now, your awesome👌🏽
Thank you for so many teachings. 🌹
Thinking for yourself. Very important.
just a quick one to say thank you for everything you do
Love this Dan
Dan Koe is truly inspiring. You can feel that it's just the beginning.
Matt the chaos monkey ftw. Really enjoyed his piece.
Brother thank you for your valuable experience and expertise, I watch your videos and listen them all the time and try to get every point and you are my ideal ❤
Thank you for this. It is really giving me what I need so I know what to focus my energy on and how I can grow from there
thx so much dan!
Always so many NUGGETS! ✨ Thank you Dan!
Tank You Dan !
Great content! We have a software house to build personalized softwares for startups and its crazy to see that the faster you can go, the quicker you get to a product that people actually wants.
Thanks 🙏🏿Dan 😁 amazing information.
Dan out here spitting GAME!!
This is just like every other online business video.
"Allow the market to tell you what they want based on engagement."
"Be okay with doing things imperfectly."
I am developing a web design agency this is a big motivation thank you Dan .
Hi Dan. Thank you for presenting your work. Could you please elaborate on the most valuable features that your product offers ? To understand its value and how you market it.
So great that's good idea
Dan your mind is super organised and structured. Glad to learn from you. I am in the process of building my business and your structure proposal really clarifies alot for me. Hope to someday have you on my #YouREnough with Gustav B Achu podcast. Keep keeping on. #YouREnough#
Started getting into Dan's content not to long ago. Halfway through Art of Focus. Everything single piece of content he puts out, I learn something from. He has been the greatest find in my education! Absorb every piece of content he has, can't recommend it enough.
I love this
Cheers.
how do you see your software to be different from other note taking and second brain apps like obsidian, roam, notion? in terms of features structure etc.
Love from India dan.
You don’t even care abt the money as long as it’s used to build value. That’s a rare mindset. That’s a mindset to adopt. It’s not all abt profit
Good luck!
“ Learn to speak through mind not through words”
wisdom is pouring in like those hairs is sprouting up
Spot on 👌
as a compsci major, software dev is defo understated (building products i mean)
Good copy
As I listened to these young adults, I found myself questioning what I am doing😢
scope creep in video games (which are software too) are so common; everyone underestimated our work (I'm a computer scientist btw, LOL)
Dan "fill in the blank" Koe
Can you apply that analogy of having a broader niche in specified platforms like LinkedIn ?
Just a first glance curiosity, is cortex essentially a coding LSP paired with a GPT system that points to your own recursively cached database where the got identifies tokens? because that'd be sick.
Is it applicable for e-commerce?
Good. Otherwise, no-code is sustainable, unless you build a very complex payment software.
Dan I want to know how to connect, find someone who is like-minded, and network (grow together). People around me are just not right
When I see Dan, I click
Can someone help me out here, I am 18 and want to start an online business, I don't know which one to start with cuz there's so many, and I have been learning a lot from Dan, I wanna find a way to apply all what I have been learning.
Can we start a dropshiping business as a one Person business
You need to hire me Dan.
Hello sir
Waw! ✨🤓
What cut do i have in that money? How much u gona give me?
Read to collect idea
Write to distribute idea
Built to monetize idea
smart idea getting all the asians building - they're brilliant and fun.
There are so many videos that seem to be on the same topic, it's hard to know which one to watch
I see what you mean, I think the reason for that is that some abstract topics can’t be in one video. Probably he will organize videos into playlists at some point.
@@ZakariaBoualaid I am new to the channel, so I don't know if the information is basically the same in each video, or if it is on the same topic but with different info. I am not putting him down. Even if the info is the same, he might tell some new story that would help someone understand
Is A.I integrated?
Eso era Fernet? ❤🇦🇷
i am a simple man, i see dan i click
I am using notion and have my gripes about it. I feel like its neat but restrictive in regards to the ui and stylistic work flow.
What do you use that has a less restrictive UI and more customizable workflow? It's the most customizable app that I know of
@@brendalg4 im not comparing it. I am just saying for the experience when using it. I used One Note previously before making the switch. Its better than onenote with organization, and multitudes of templates
@@brendalg4 Obsidian is far more customizable. With that said, one has to be ready to do the work to customize it.
Are you looking for investors?
Thank you. I am in love with you Dan. Hihi.
If you need someone dumb with tech to “test” your product, I could be your test dummy! Seriously, if you can hear your product to someone like me who isn’t tech savvy, you would have a best seller for seniors who didn’t grow up with tech
I am concerned all your “product designers” seem to have a technical background and no mention of a ux designer. Who is conducting the actual usability testing on your product? All the best Dan, thanks for sharing.
Dan and our private beta users use the product every single day
759k in revenue or in your pocket?
👍👍👍👍
Alex Becker title
Pane (Pain) Management...
classic.
How do you talk about the product and start up and not give the idea of the product away??
Because an idea is nothing without all the work of making it a reality. That part is so enormous (as demonstrated here), there's very little to worry about. Anyone willing to invest the massive amount of time, energy and money will want to spend it on ideas of their own.
@@jamuseme I would agree but not 100% of the time
When you watch this, you wouldn't need to apply YC
Bro only hired Asians. The app is gonna be a banger.
hey dan your digital economics have been closed i have to join that course please dont do this i have to start with it 😭
asians are good programmer
I'm favoured, $60k every week! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also
support God's work and the church. God bless America.
How please. Help me I really need to gain my losses back...
It might be beneficial to consult with a financial advisor who can provide personalized guidance on your specific situation
yall overthinking your notetaking app lol
Why long face
Does his face help you build your business?
Dopamine 😅 reason why i do not watch videos like this.
Your videos have much more filler in them now. Maybe it's just there isn't any more growth or new lessons just the same repeated things.
