There’s this plastic surgeon that lost ALL of his hair for a while and istg it made him look 1000x more serious to me. 🔥😎 he’s since gotten some facial hair back. I think they look so good-!!!
@@alwaysyouramanda i buzzed my 5 month long hair yesterday and i can confirm i look 1000x better. I forgot i even made this comment but looking back on it now it definitely pushed me over the edge (at least subconsciously) to finally go monk mode lol
Your videos have helped me more than anyone on this site. As a writer who’s been setting aside my own goals for what I believed I “should” be doing, I feel I’ve finally unlocked my soul working on an authentic project that has sat in my mind for way too long. When you said nobody will ever care about your life as much as you will, that offset everything. Hope everyone reading this has an incredible day or night.
Dan, I’ve just witnessed you grow into a mature man right before my eyes, especially in the way you shared your thoughts on your receding hairline and how you’ve identified with your hair. Your decision to simply remove your hat, face the situation head-on, and embrace it with such bravery has greatly increased my respect for you. You truly are the man! And, you also you’re a handsome dude you look great!

@@DanKoeTalks You will get the hang of it. Got admit, you have a good basis (Head shape and thick neck. Body also helps). I started shaving at 21. Pretty young to have a receding hairline, and my father and brother have a full head of hair. Unfortunate, however i grew a lot from the situation. Full beard diverts the attention and you're golden brother. At the end, nobody really cares.
Koe's Law, not to be confused with coleslaw. I absolutely adore you, Dan. thank you for sharing your wisdom. Your videos, book, and courses have given me back hope and excitement for my future.
Identify and solve the distractions (boredom, anxiety) that prevent focus and productivity. Live at the "flow state" where your skills match the challenge. Develop a clear vision and identity for your ideal future. Pursue goals that are positive and shape your identity over time. Create a tangible project to work on in the first 1-2 hours each day. The project should help build your future vision. Break your project down into manageable milestones or goals that can be achieved in 1-4 hour work sessions. Your project does not need to be perfect - focus on getting a minimum viable product or vision. Build to identify improvements. Create an outline to plan your project. Add to the outline as you build. Use your project to solve problems and continually learn through struggle, not just memorization. Teach others as you build. Dedicate a clear space and time each day to anchor your focus on productive work, away from negative thoughts.
Awesome work Dan. Got the book on Audible. I had beautiful hair (so my mother said). 16 yrs ago my dad got glioblastoma and lost his stately silver hair from chemo. At that point I shaved my already thinning locks and embraced liberation from hair. It was a vanity that slowed me down. As men, you know we are defined by many things. Hair is not one that is critical. Wisdom flows from the heart as does the value we bring to the world. Rock on and embrace the baldness. Turn entropy into renaissance. 💪🏽💪🏽
Dan you've ignited something in me that is out of my character. I know that this isn't just like an infatuation because I actually started writing a Digital Book with no prior knowledge about it just dumping in my ideas and improving it from there. Your idea of ripple effect in contributing to innovation, I want to be a part of it.
Thanks as always, Dan! If you do decide to grow your hair out again, I’d recommend putting in a couple drops of Rosemary oil, Pumpkin Seed oil, and Castor oil on your scalp and hairline. Eschew the chemicals! 🙏 🙌
This is my first video I am watching from Dan Koe, I am watching for the third time now taking down notes. I just had to the content is heavy and needs clarity and slow breakdown for me to understand and put things into practice. This is a new high for me, I don't know what to expect on videos i have not watched yet.
Yes bro, I have the same problem and it indeed solves with his book. That information is just easier to be consumed when you read it bc you can stop and think as much as you need on every sentence.
Implementing the 2-4 hours a day has been the hardest with two creative projects that I love spending time on with Embassy Life in DC and my UA-cam channel, but at the end of the day, anything past that and I do notice a massive drop in quality and productivity. I can speak from personal experience with Embassy Life in DC, it took me a year of focused work to build up a reputation here in the DC area, and now I am in a completely different place with brands reaching out to me and vice versa. Am I rich? No Am I a millionaire? No Am I free from my 9-5? No The point is this: it take time to build your "vision" of the future and for a naturally impatient person like me, it is utter hell. But there is no other choice. Cheers, Dan!
Man I hate to admit it but you nailed the problem that has been messing up my life for years. Focus & clarity is the target I need to dig myself out of the hole I find myself in.
Thanks for the vids Dan. One of my biggest concerns listening to these vids is that, I believe, not many people actually KNOW, what they want to do. It is the issue with all the motivational teachings.. “Follow your heart… Start a project… etc” but what if you have no idea what truly makes your heart sing, in your 20s… 30s… 50s, people are still looking for the purpose ‘from within’. I don’t think this is a problem that can be intellectually solved either. Please, Connect with those millions that are lost not because they are not organized or lack problem solving skill or missing the will to change, but those, who are simply stuck figuring out what is their passion! Respect.. 🤞🏻
Wow, this one touched deep. Have to clean my the place where I am, my body, my internet browser, everything. Clarity will come after this. Thanks a lot Dan.
I actually sat down to write this: Your ability to analyze, boil down, and simplify complex concepts is nothing short of a DEEP TALENT. Thank you for sharing this amazing content with us. It is (to be honest) better than all the award winning million copy selling self help crap out there. More power to you Dan 💫 Even your own hair couldn't handle you..
Dan I don't care how much your hairline recedes, you're your own worst critic and you need to hold onto that glorious curly hair at all costs. You're never gonna go totally bald, just hold onto it even if it's down to a narrow strip in the back. It's more than just hair, it's powerful.
There's a guy on here who grew a lot of his hair back. He dermarolls and applies rosemary oil, minoxidil, and finasteride I believe. I was able to thicken my hair using similar methods, the inversion method, and Ayruvedic medicine.
My friend, greetings from Romania! Just wanted to say thank you! You are an inspiration for me, I started posting shorts where I challenged myself to post a video everyday in order to overcome my doubts and negative thoughts and your content played an important part in that. Thank you again 🙏 and keep doing what you are doing!
I love how you have taken a courageous step in dis-identifying with your hair. I have had pixie cuts, waist- long hair and a lot in between and have noticed it is surprising how much we can identify with external things. The wonderful thing about disidentifying is you can release yourself from conforming to/supporting ideas of yourself that can be limiting and misleading. Now don't fall into the same trap on the opposite end of the spectrum 🎉 Thank you Dan for putting out this high quality, in-depth content. It is helping me make dramatic growth in so many ways.
Dan I love your curly beautiful hair, please let it grow back!!! You're a perfectionist and I respect that as well. But your hair was looking great. You look very, very attractive with that new hair style, just in case you decide to keep it.
Nah see at first I thought you used a funny edit in order to catch attention with the thumbnail, but when I later found out that you did it in order to launch yourself into the unknown “LIKE YOU’VE BEEN PREACHING” it made me respect you a million times more. You’re dope bro! We appreciate you man. Keep going. ✊🏽❤️
WOW... Fantastic Info.. Work on 1 thing at a time for a set amount of time, 45 mins, take a break then come back to the drawing board.. This is how you start a project 🏆 Take some action toward my Future Vision of my Self 💙 That's my takeaway.. Thanks Dan 👏👏
I’m half way through your book Dan. It’s brilliant and I can’t believe how much of this has dropped experientially for me the past 12 months. Especially the “zooming out”. I can SEE so much more! I know when I need to zoom out in order to know what to zoom in on. I came off social media last year and it’s incredible how much my focus has sharpened for my Deep Work. I’ve stopped consuming completely, apart from the odd newsletter from peeps like you and Tim Denning. My awareness has heightened and I have so much time. I am curious about these subjects when it comes to the masculine and feminine energies. PS You look very handsome, hair or no hair.
Well done! From one internet stranger to another, the act of "zooming out" is extremely difficult for me to accomplish but the shift in perspective that comes with it and recognizing opportunities is worthy of it. Keep going and build that awareness!
@@thelifewithnate Thankyou Nate. Yeah in those moments of zooming out, it creates a lot of space which I feel opens up all possibilities again. Kinda like taking the blinkers off to see if I’m on the right track and in the movie I want to create! Good luck with your channel, by the way 😊
Thanks for sharing this.We don't lack motivation but lack clarity. For many years I had searched for tools to motivate but I realised that clear direction and momentum is the biggest game changer
Comments might be your best ever. Thanks for mentioning the hair thing. Something that takes up our mental RAM everyday. I think truly enlightened people stop caring, and finding that freedom is challenging. Also love the ideas around work here, thanks!
I love your hair now, it´s awesome to be this detached, I feel like having it cut myself now. I have done it once when I was 15 or so. To me this says - a new period begins, there is no turning point now and I ´m ready. And I looove your content, every single word so empowering. I even started making notes. Thank you and hats off.
This is all gold @Dan Koe! Seems very in line with what I've been searching for. I'll be watching this repeatedly to commit it to memory. Picked up your book and just happened to purchase Flow recently. "You need something to build that will result in your ideal future. If you aren't building your future, then that future isn't going to be built!" Thank you for this video!
I have been scamming myself into thinking that my inability to "create" what my vision tells me is due to procrastination and general lack of a variety of things. the graph you show about boredom and self esteem is life changing. Much much to be learned here, thanks for the nudge at getting 'life'!
The hair is immaterial when that smile surfaces. Wow. I saw it twice and you must know how much discipline it took to avoid pausing the video! I was committed to getting to the end. Enjoy the hair, however you want, knowing that it is fleeting ... I'm looking at the eyes and drinking in the intensity, in any event.😘
This is the video i needed so much. PS. Loosing hair is a proces, before regrowing it try shaving it completely . Remeber some boldies become super rich. Ask Rogan or Bezos if not having hair is a problem for them.

Wow, your content is like finding a hidden treasure chest in a digital forest! I stumbled upon your channel today, and it’s like discovering a secret passage to the land of wit and wisdom. Keep it up, Captain Curious
Hi Dan I feel your struggles about losing hair and the uncertainty that comes with it. I also shaved my hair 3 years ago, that moment felt like a relief literally shaving away my insecurity. Now a few years later I have accepted my hair and found a hairstyle like Mike Thurston what really fits me well. Lifestyle changes like quitting working 9-5, starting a raw animal based diet led to less stress and slowly growing back thicker hair. I admire your decision to change a big part of your "identity". You will inspire more men with this decision, the knowledge and impact you have on the world will not diminish if you rock a Buzz cut.
What amazes me the most is that this man just spearding gold and platinum with every line he is saying! When i share some of these ideas with friends or familly, they tell me to not dream and fantisize so much. Which i kinda understand if your in the wrong perpspective of it all
I love having a project to work on with this channel. Each weekend I feel like I have a mission to accomplish in my free time. And every few weeks a full video is completed and the response is so satisfying to see. Building a business back end will come later once this channel has properly popped off. I can’t wait! The future truly is amazing
You’re a voice in my head that reminds me to snap to and get back on track. The necessities and understanding to track the measurables. Appreciate your guidance good sir! 🙌🏽⚡️🙌🏽
Thank You Dan I've learned so much from you and am always inspired to examine, execute and improve after listening. Looking great no matter what. I've had short hair, long hair, very little hair (cancer) it's not the hair that makes the man or woman- it is the love and acceptance of self that does 💜💜
I think this is the first video I watch from your channel and I went from "yeah, he's right" to "Ok, I need to become a full crazy fan and learn everything I can, ASAP!" Fantastic stuff man, and about the hairline... I think it suits you! haha
Excellent video! Greetings from an American 🇺🇸 expatriate and language teacher in Taipei, Taiwan (English as a Foreign Language and sometimes Spanish). New subscriber! I’m transitioning from brick-and-mortar teaching to online teaching and you’ve given me lots of food for thought as my pension approaches.
"If the outcome of your desire is good, then desire isn't bad" is a somewhat valid point. The reason that desire that is usually labeled as bad is that desire actually keeps you in a loop-frame type of life. For example: You desire the new Apple Vision Pro (or rather the status it provides), therefore you need money, therefore you keep doing your 9-5. Once you reach that desire, another one has already entered the mind and that's how desire (which is based on past experiences - therefore time[where the loop comes from]) keeps us going in a circle, not really facing the present moment.
Hey guys first time watching you but I’m 30 and I’ve done it. 7 figure brands growing fast, left my job. I go to the gym for 2 hours a day I spend time running it’s possible!
Amazing that through watching consistently your videos i realize what you said that you shape other peoples identity and that lead to me having different behaviors these last weeks, that’s the power of the internet and spreading your massage, keep making this life changing content!
I really like this creator He doesn’t waste our time and gets right into the content of the video He’s very knowledgeable And, he is very generous, to share his knowledge Wonder if he will start a podcast like Lewis Howe He would be very good at this
Parkinson's Law is a good one. Here is another one I like: Conway's Law - [O]rganizations which design systems (in the broad sense used here) are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations.
Dan, you've helped me a lot. You inspired me to open an online music school. Before your videos, I did not believe it was possible to become a millionaire as an obscure musician. Now I believe and my reality has completely shifted. Also, please consider hiring me as your personal music consultant. Thanks for everything.
Found your channel a few weeks ago and subbed and then lost you in my pile of subs... just spent an hour digging through everything I've watched since February to find that one guy who said some really impacful things that made a lot of sense.
Hi Dan, I discovered your channel not that long ago, and let me tell you, I have been listening to you religiously since then. I resonate so ,much with you. Love how soothing your videos are, your voice is soothing and you don't have those stupid clips popping in your videos...Your channel is a like-minded friend I don't have in real life. Well, I isolate myself at the moment on purpose.....Thank you so much Dan. BTW I love your new look, it fits you better. You look great!
The Flow state is absolutely a feeling you're doing something right. It's a feeling of "rightness". You know it's correct when you feel it, but it's impossible to precisely explain why.
Dan, I've gotten into your coaching through your book. Focus is what I see and receive when I see, read or hear you. Almost effortlessly. Having more or less double your age and sharing Krishnamurti's views, amongst others, on my spiritual path, I am amazed by your use of the word. It seems that your spirituality is very productive on the individual plane. This is as attractive as it seems limited to me. Attractive because you really give goal and sense to the ego, limited because it seems to end there. Maybe this is just me, but I wonder if -hope that?- you find the time, space and interest to question and go beyond what you're undoubtedly very good at: giving sense to the ego. I have no idea if you read your comments, but thanks for all you're sharing. I wish you all the best.
Male hair loss is a real emotion. Not life ending, but a reflection point of past and future. This is my second visitation to your content ethos. My first attempt, upon reflection, I was not in the proper learning posture to receive knowledge. I am here to fix key areas of personal inefficiency with a reliable improvement system. Goal setting, distraction management, and execution. Continue your valuation proposition, they are many of us, like myself thirsting for life and business improvement.
Twins 🎶 Listened to The Art of Focus 8th times-the content is shifting as I am changing. It’s a totally different book now. Can’t wait for the next round. Love it!
I am a video editor & there is a dilemma I face everytime. When I work 4 hr & complete all tasks. I don't feel satisfied but when I work 8 hrs on creative work. Iam fully satisfied for that day.
Don't worry, my hairs are gone too. Focus on what matters Dan, changing lives, love your content, you should be top trending on UA-cam, keep nailing it!
This is my first video of yours that I've ever watched so for me I will always see you as the guy with the clear, focused, distraction-free shaved head. Going back to watch your older videos now with the curly haired guy. 😁
I have discovered your channel fairly recently and I have only seen a handful of your videos due to time constraints. I really appreciate your tone and the authenticity you convey in your talks. It is not that of yet another influencer/entrepreneur who pretends to have everything in his life figured out and speaks to and treats his audience like some kind of cult followers. You seem to be a person of high intellect who has given some truly deep thought on many ideas and concepts and yet you remain humble. I believe you truly care in helping others unlocking their potential and you come off talking to us as talking to a friend rather than to a subscriber. I wish you all the best in your life and to continue being a voice of meaningful inspiration, practicality and productive optimism. P. S. I think you look good with the shaved hair. I have been doing it myself for some time now and I find it quite refreshing as it gives me a sense of reset of my personal identity.
@Dan Koe - the cut is good from the perspective of letting go of something weighting one down. I did this alot when i was younger - It was like a reset button for me. The Video 🔥 very informative as always. The Passion and conviction in what you are saying shows through the video and body language- a great attribute. I am working now on getting back into my Focus Mode like I did some years ago - listening to the latest video from you about Focus have been very inspo. Looking forward to starting Listening to your book too. I tend to be first an Audible - Listening to a Book, then buy the Physical copy. I can guess this will be a great one. Thanks for All the work you.put in these, Appreciated bse it is not easy being consistent and great value!
I have never felt more enlightened over a video like I did on this one. I'm going to have to follow, subscribe and watch the ones before on a daily basis.
@dankoe very much appreciate this topic. I left the rat race quite a while ago I want a real estate company and started a side project to create a tech company that rents apartments and simplifies the process and removing the barrier that wastes time . We're very close to Launch. I love how more comments are about the hairline over the content.
Excellent ‘very specific’ and methodical advice, nice job, Dan! I would just add that the biggest distraction (for most people) is simply wasting too much time consuming social media. Young people must learn to deliberately set defined time limits here as well-or the insightful advice herein will eventually (if not quickly) be lost in its chaotic noise. Social media, or even obsessing over the latest news, is poisonous to project completion and overall vision fulfillment.
The hair style allows your exceptionally high intellect to be seen. We can take so much more from the sessions. Less distractions I guess. Good stuff ❤
You are still handsome and thank you for sharing your insecurities and imperfections ❤ really want to see how your philosophy will change once you have kids
The concept of the 4-hour workday is really intriguing. To amplify this, entrepreneurs should explore the Pareto Principle, focusing 80% of their efforts on the 20% of tasks that yield the most results. It's about working smarter, not harder, to truly enjoy that lifestyle design.

Dan I love your curly beautiful hair, please let it grow back!!! You're a perfectionist and I respect that as well. But your hair was looking great.
You look very, very attractive with that new hair style, just in case you decide to keep it.
Nah see at first I thought you used a funny edit in order to catch attention with the thumbnail, but when I later found out that you did it in order to launch yourself into the unknown “LIKE YOU’VE BEEN PREACHING” it made me respect you a million times more.
You’re dope bro! We appreciate you man. Keep going. ✊🏽❤️
WOW... Fantastic Info.. Work on 1 thing at a time for a set amount of time, 45 mins, take a break then come back to the drawing board.. This is how you start a project 🏆 Take some action toward my Future Vision of my Self 💙 That's my takeaway.. Thanks Dan 👏👏
I’m half way through your book Dan. It’s brilliant and I can’t believe how much of this has dropped experientially for me the past 12 months. Especially the “zooming out”.
I can SEE so much more! I know when I need to zoom out in order to know what to zoom in on.
I came off social media last year and it’s incredible how much my focus has sharpened for my Deep Work. I’ve stopped consuming completely, apart from the odd newsletter from peeps like you and Tim Denning. My awareness has heightened and I have so much time.
I am curious about these subjects when it comes to the masculine and feminine energies.
PS You look very handsome, hair or no hair.
Well done! From one internet stranger to another, the act of "zooming out" is extremely difficult for me to accomplish but the shift in perspective that comes with it and recognizing opportunities is worthy of it. Keep going and build that awareness!
@@thelifewithnate Thankyou Nate. Yeah in those moments of zooming out, it creates a lot of space which I feel opens up all possibilities again. Kinda like taking the blinkers off to see if I’m on the right track and in the movie I want to create!
Good luck with your channel, by the way 😊
Thanks for sharing this.We don't lack motivation but lack clarity. For many years I had searched for tools to motivate but I realised that clear direction and momentum is the biggest game changer
Thank you for the consistent, growing quality of teaching in your videos. I will be sharing your content with friends and family.
Comments might be your best ever. Thanks for mentioning the hair thing. Something that takes up our mental RAM everyday. I think truly enlightened people stop caring, and finding that freedom is challenging. Also love the ideas around work here, thanks!
I love your hair now, it´s awesome to be this detached, I feel like having it cut myself now. I have done it once when I was 15 or so. To me this says - a new period begins, there is no turning point now and I ´m ready. And I looove your content, every single word so empowering. I even started making notes. Thank you and hats off.
This is all gold @Dan Koe! Seems very in line with what I've been searching for. I'll be watching this repeatedly to commit it to memory. Picked up your book and just happened to purchase Flow recently.
"You need something to build that will result in your ideal future. If you aren't building your future, then that future isn't going to be built!"
Thank you for this video!
You are genuine, that what make you different. We cant fake that.
I have been scamming myself into thinking that my inability to "create" what my vision tells me is due to procrastination and general lack of a variety of things. the graph you show about boredom and self esteem is life changing. Much much to be learned here, thanks for the nudge at getting 'life'!
The hair is immaterial when that smile surfaces. Wow. I saw it twice and you must know how much discipline it took to avoid pausing the video! I was committed to getting to the end. Enjoy the hair, however you want, knowing that it is fleeting ... I'm looking at the eyes and drinking in the intensity, in any event.😘
Simple man here, I see Dan, with hair or without, I click.
This is the video i needed so much.
PS. Loosing hair is a proces, before regrowing it try shaving it completely . Remeber some boldies become super rich. Ask Rogan or Bezos if not having hair is a problem for them.

Big bad bald Dan Koe > Normal Dan Koe
Hi Dan I feel your struggles about losing hair and the uncertainty that comes with it.
I also shaved my hair 3 years ago, that moment felt like a relief literally shaving away my insecurity.
Now a few years later I have accepted my hair and found a hairstyle like Mike Thurston what really fits me well.
Lifestyle changes like quitting working 9-5, starting a raw animal based diet led to less stress and slowly growing back thicker hair.
I admire your decision to change a big part of your "identity".
You will inspire more men with this decision, the knowledge and impact you have on the world will not diminish if you rock a Buzz cut.
Dan you're great. I am your number fan, I hate to admit it but distraction takes one away from their goals causing to focus on worthless things.
What amazes me the most is that this man just spearding gold and platinum with every line he is saying! When i share some of these ideas with friends or familly, they tell me to not dream and fantisize so much. Which i kinda understand if your in the wrong perpspective of it all
I love having a project to work on with this channel. Each weekend I feel like I have a mission to accomplish in my free time. And every few weeks a full video is completed and the response is so satisfying to see. Building a business back end will come later once this channel has properly popped off. I can’t wait! The future truly is amazing
Once you know what you have to do, then you are unstoppable 🎉🎉🎉
You’re a voice in my head that reminds me to snap to and get back on track. The necessities and understanding to track the measurables. Appreciate your guidance good sir! 🙌🏽⚡️🙌🏽
Thank You Dan I've learned so much from you and am always inspired to examine, execute and improve after listening. Looking great no matter what. I've had short hair, long hair, very little hair (cancer) it's not the hair that makes the man or woman- it is the love and acceptance of self that does 💜💜
This couldn’t be closer to what I needed right now .
I think this is the first video I watch from your channel and I went from "yeah, he's right" to "Ok, I need to become a full crazy fan and learn everything I can, ASAP!"
Fantastic stuff man, and about the hairline... I think it suits you! haha
Excellent video! Greetings from an American 🇺🇸 expatriate and language teacher in Taipei, Taiwan (English as a Foreign Language and sometimes Spanish). New subscriber! I’m transitioning from brick-and-mortar teaching to online teaching and you’ve given me lots of food for thought as my pension approaches.
"If the outcome of your desire is good, then desire isn't bad" is a somewhat valid point.
The reason that desire that is usually labeled as bad is that desire actually keeps you in a loop-frame type of life.
For example: You desire the new Apple Vision Pro (or rather the status it provides), therefore you need money, therefore you keep doing your 9-5. Once you reach that desire, another one has already entered the mind and that's how desire (which is based on past experiences - therefore time[where the loop comes from]) keeps us going in a circle, not really facing the present moment.
I love Tej. His words always bring me hope.
They say when you are ready a teacher come to you. I just found your videos tonight and your words really resonate. I'm glad our paths aligned
Hey guys first time watching you but I’m 30 and I’ve done it. 7 figure brands growing fast, left my job. I go to the gym for 2 hours a day I spend time running it’s possible!
Thank you for sharing this. I’m reinventing myself as a really successful me with this advice. I’ll rewatch it.
dude ur a fucking god. this video changed my life. i love u bro, words cannot explain how much personal progress I made using your ideas.
Amazing that through watching consistently your videos i realize what you said that you shape other peoples identity and that lead to me having different behaviors these last weeks, that’s the power of the internet and spreading your massage, keep making this life changing content!
Thanks! This video literally will change my life.
I really like this creator
He doesn’t waste our time and gets right into the content of the video
He’s very knowledgeable
And, he is very generous, to share his knowledge
Wonder if he will start a podcast like Lewis Howe He would be very good at this
Parkinson's Law is a good one. Here is another one I like:
Conway's Law - [O]rganizations which design systems (in the broad sense used here) are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations.
Dan, you've helped me a lot. You inspired me to open an online music school. Before your videos, I did not believe it was possible to become a millionaire as an obscure musician. Now I believe and my reality has completely shifted. Also, please consider hiring me as your personal music consultant. Thanks for everything.
Found your channel a few weeks ago and subbed and then lost you in my pile of subs... just spent an hour digging through everything I've watched since February to find that one guy who said some really impacful things that made a lot of sense.
Hi, can't wait for your next video on KOE law! Thanks a bunch for all the awesome content so far.
Hi Dan, I discovered your channel not that long ago, and let me tell you, I have been listening to you religiously since then. I resonate so ,much with you. Love how soothing your videos are, your voice is soothing and you don't have those stupid clips popping in your videos...Your channel is a like-minded friend I don't have in real life. Well, I isolate myself at the moment on purpose.....Thank you so much Dan. BTW I love your new look, it fits you better. You look great!
Having access to your channel is like having a personal motivator! Thank you
Hairs are just a part of the veil covering your light/soul.
Thank you brother for being such a wonderful human and inspiration ❤🤗
Enjoy your day 🌎🌌
This was an awesome video. Started doing 2 hours of deep work a day and it's help me make a good amount of progress in 2 months during 2024
I love how he's constantly roasting us while giving us a foundation to build our own success from a 9-5.
I'm going out on a limb and saying he's starting to remind me of a personal development version of Alan Watts.
The Flow state is absolutely a feeling you're doing something right. It's a feeling of "rightness". You know it's correct when you feel it, but it's impossible to precisely explain why.
Dan, I've gotten into your coaching through your book. Focus is what I see and receive when I see, read or hear you. Almost effortlessly.
Having more or less double your age and sharing Krishnamurti's views, amongst others, on my spiritual path, I am amazed by your use of the word. It seems that your spirituality is very productive on the individual plane. This is as attractive as it seems limited to me. Attractive because you really give goal and sense to the ego, limited because it seems to end there. Maybe this is just me, but I wonder if -hope that?- you find the time, space and interest to question and go beyond what you're undoubtedly very good at: giving sense to the ego.
I have no idea if you read your comments, but thanks for all you're sharing. I wish you all the best.
@roelvinckens5553 You sound very learned yourself. I hope you create your own content soon. I'll follow you. 🤗
Male hair loss is a real emotion. Not life ending, but a reflection point of past and future. This is my second visitation to your content ethos. My first attempt, upon reflection, I was not in the proper learning posture to receive knowledge. I am here to fix key areas of personal inefficiency with a reliable improvement system. Goal setting, distraction management, and execution. Continue your valuation proposition, they are many of us, like myself thirsting for life and business improvement.
Love the simplicity and the power you share from, has brought together so much for me to now set those blocks and stop and honour the rest
Twins 🎶 Listened to The Art of Focus 8th times-the content is shifting as I am changing. It’s a totally different book now. Can’t wait for the next round. Love it!
I am a video editor & there is a dilemma I face everytime. When I work 4 hr & complete all tasks. I don't feel satisfied but when I work 8 hrs on creative work. Iam fully satisfied for that day.
Don't worry, my hairs are gone too. Focus on what matters Dan, changing lives, love your content, you should be top trending on UA-cam, keep nailing it!
This is my first video of yours that I've ever watched so for me I will always see you as the guy with the clear, focused, distraction-free shaved head. Going back to watch your older videos now with the curly haired guy. 😁
I have discovered your channel fairly recently and I have only seen a handful of your videos due to time constraints. I really appreciate your tone and the authenticity you convey in your talks. It is not that of yet another influencer/entrepreneur who pretends to have everything in his life figured out and speaks to and treats his audience like some kind of cult followers. You seem to be a person of high intellect who has given some truly deep thought on many ideas and concepts and yet you remain humble. I believe you truly care in helping others unlocking their potential and you come off talking to us as talking to a friend rather than to a subscriber. I wish you all the best in your life and to continue being a voice of meaningful inspiration, practicality and productive optimism.
P. S. I think you look good with the shaved hair. I have been doing it myself for some time now and I find it quite refreshing as it gives me a sense of reset of my personal identity.
I just woke with the same cut as Dan 😅
Once you do the buzz cut, you never go back!
Great message as always Dan. Thanks for sharing!
New sub! I've been listening to your videos for about a week now and there's a calm that comes over me. Great info and format!
It's almost impossible to describe the value that you have provided in this video, thank you very much.
@Dan Koe - the cut is good from the perspective of letting go of something weighting one down. I did this alot when i was younger - It was like a reset button for me.
The Video 🔥 very informative as always. The Passion and conviction in what you are saying shows through the video and body language- a great attribute.
I am working now on getting back into my Focus Mode like I did some years ago - listening to the latest video from you about Focus have been very inspo.
Looking forward to starting Listening to your book too. I tend to be first an Audible - Listening to a Book, then buy the Physical copy. I can guess this will be a great one.
Thanks for All the work you.put in these, Appreciated bse it is not easy being consistent and great value!
I have never felt more enlightened over a video like I did on this one. I'm going to have to follow, subscribe and watch the ones before on a daily basis.
Full Jocko.
Appreciate your work brother.
You're looking great, looking like that 4 hour work week guy from the book
@dankoe very much appreciate this topic. I left the rat race quite a while ago I want a real estate company and started a side project to create a tech company that rents apartments and simplifies the process and removing the barrier that wastes time . We're very close to Launch. I love how more comments are about the hairline over the content.
Excellent ‘very specific’ and methodical advice, nice job, Dan! I would just add that the biggest distraction (for most people) is simply wasting too much time consuming social media. Young people must learn to deliberately set defined time limits here as well-or the insightful advice herein will eventually (if not quickly) be lost in its chaotic noise. Social media, or even obsessing over the latest news, is poisonous to project completion and overall vision fulfillment.
The hair style allows your exceptionally high intellect to be seen. We can take so much more from the sessions. Less distractions I guess. Good stuff ❤
You are still handsome and thank you for sharing your insecurities and imperfections ❤ really want to see how your philosophy will change once you have kids
The concept of the 4-hour workday is really intriguing. To amplify this, entrepreneurs should explore the Pareto Principle, focusing 80% of their efforts on the 20% of tasks that yield the most results. It's about working smarter, not harder, to truly enjoy that lifestyle design.
