I have a big meeting in an hour with a six figure deal/investment on the table. I feel like I’m in a walking movie. From just following you in your emails, your class, etc. gave me the confidence to set this up and it’s actually happening today. I wouldn’t of even had the confidence to set this up or the know how without following you. I appreciate it a lot.
And remember that you even if you end up not closing the deal, that is okay, focus on getting feedback and applying it to get better and hopefully sooner or later you will land a deal. Patience.
I have a big 10 figure deal backslash investment on the table I feel like I'm in a walking movie also from following it random UA-cam advice in your emails your class Etc gave me the confidence to set this up also and it's actually happening today. LOL I wouldn't even had the confidence to set this up or the know-how about following is random UA-cam channel but that's the only planning on setting up will be a 12 figure deal
That line about how stress takes up a lot of mental energy which makes it hard to not be lazy and work toward your goals…. Literally applies to me 100% and never thought about it like that. Great point!
you're the one who took action, its the compounding of the internal struggle of mindset you've been cultivating for years and its finally reached its tipping point with these videos. but take credit for yourself too for the things that cant be seen or measured.
I am really glad I found this channel. I have been living in the stressed/chaotic state you described for several years. Even though I advance in my 9-5 job(s), I always feel in the back of my mind that I am procrastinating (because my goals are not aligned with how I'm spending my day, so the work I'm doing for "Work" is not alleviating the sense of procrastination). I wish counselors were aware of these types of instructions. It's so simple how you created a layout to reassess your routines. I think this is something everyone needs, especially if their mental health is already struggling. It might not cure depression/anxiety, but it seems really, really important that our daily lives are matching up with our goals/purpose
I just discovered your channel today. You break things down in such an orderly and clear way. I think of myself as a fairly organized person, but listening to this video I realize I really need to “clean house” in my brain, and especially clear out some bad habits, like procrastinating. I also tend to sabotage myself (unintentionally) and need to stop making poor decisions… Thank you ☺️
Last year I told myself I was going to focus on my mental and physical well-bring (aka fitness). Suffice it to say the best laid plans of mice and men never materialise if you fail to plan. Skip ahead to this year, I am taking actionable steps to achieve my goals. The simplest yet the hardest part is mental; I schedule a daily walk in the morning (10,000 steps per day). Instead of finding excuses not to take the walk, I found an unofficial external accountability partner. I say unofficial accountability partner because the person is unaware that I use them to hold myself accountable; our paths cross in the park so we see each other and merely say "hello." Afterwards, at home I focus on the second goal - creating a sustainable one-person business. On the days that I walk 10,000 steps, I feel energised and can easily concentrate on the second goal instead of seeking distractions. The follow-through component is vital to success.
One thing I’ve noticed even before this exercise is when I’m writing ( and I’ve been hitting my one woman business for over a year now) I start feeling guilty because I must be neglecting something. I know it comes from years of being told what and when to do things, and mostly, that these people in my life expected me to drop everything to help them. I have been working on “those people “ for a couple years now and so it surprised me to feel those feelings of letting others down. I hope to get rid of that feeling soon altogether:)
Great video. A similar solution helped me get on track after years of having a messy mind. I used a notebook to check on my progress everyday by storing down what I did right and at the end of my week I did review. Few lines or few words go a long way. Honestly I did not expect that to work. I thought I would stop at day three, and here I am at week 10. It got me through being sick for 3 weeks and I could go back to acting on my goals after recovery. That usually does not happen so swiftly. Last week I started to feel sidetracked so I did a mid week review and it helped me get my thoughts clear again. I think the act of writing in itself helps the minds in ways that are not obvious. It worked wonders for me. I hope other people try it.
Hey Dan, your channel has so much value. Hands down the best and most concrete advices I got from a self development/self growth channel. I always take notes when I watch your videos or listen to a podcast episode or read a koe letter. Thanks for the value you provide!
It's easy to put energy every day to stay in a good mode than put a lot of energy triying to recover from a really bad way, so, I prefer to do little but important things each day to maintain focus on my goals. Thanks for sharing Dan.
Years ago I was a new teacher and had to write lesson plans. That stressed me out. It was like writing a screenplay, or short plays and I had to anticipate all the character moves, and positions. I felt overwhelmed by the task. I wanted simply to prepare myself, teach the class, and then create a post plan. Any way, many many hours were lost to my just sitting there staring at nothing bc I was so stressed. I still get that way sometimes. Maybe this is a way through… 5:21 Man this stresses me out just thinking about it.
Waw. Now I can say who I aspire to become. Your journey, your obsessions, and your content are exactly what I want to share with the world with my vision. You are a tremendous inspiration to me. I always saw you on YT & Linked In but never took the time to really grasp and digest your content. Now that I did, my vision is expanded like never before. Do you have a video where you share your journey from start to finish?
As a Monk that spent most of my time living at meditation centres around Europe and Asia I saw people doing resets all the time. Making a list and writing everything down like Dan suggests is a great idea and really helps bring to light what’s going on in one's life. At meditation centres people would be forced into a strict schedule that was made to both tie up all their time, but it was also focused on activities that calmed and focused them on their practice. When you come home after a retreat like that you’ll be clear in a way that is difficult to explain. I wish they’d give something like this method to people when they leave to help bridge the gap between retreat and daily life which in my opinion is one of the weak points in many centres even though there are some that stand out and try to do something about it. Plum Village in France where I spent one to three months every summer comes to mind. Thanks again for a great video Dan, keep 'em coming!
@@DanKoeTalks You won't regret it, it's an incredible experience :) Have you decided where you're going or more of a general idea of tradition/style of retreat you're after?
@@MartinKPettersson Hey mate, hope don't me jumping and asking here... any recommednations for retreat tradition/styles for someone new but curious? A lot of people tell me a 10 day vipassana retreat
@@ayumelove Happy to help! When you say Vipassana, I'm assuming you mean the Goenka retreats? If so, I've done 25 of those and a few of the 20 day reterats so I have quite a bit of experience with them. I'd say this is the perfect way for someone starting out who want to try on some serious insight meditation. It's like going on a rollercoaster and you're just going along for the ride and it's one unforgettable ride :) My mind was blown after I did my first one and it does change your perspective on what you're able to do with your mind. Don't be fooled though, you'll want to go home after the 2nd or 3'rd day, but just stick with it since it gets better once you've overcome that obstacle. Upside is that they're easily accesible, donation based, good vegitarian food and a good solid tradition even though we used to call it the "McDonalds of meditation" since it's basically a franchise with very strict guidelines for their teachers and and staff. I used to see them as vacation time since it's not quite as strict as the Burmese insight meditation centers I visited alot and I always did enjoy the atmosphere there and conversing with fellow meditators on the last day when they lifted the silence. Downside is that they're quite narrow minded in what they consider to be "The way to meditate" even though they outwards accept all traditions. Don't think about it, just set of the time and go. I haven't heard a single person who regreted it, except the ones who went home day 2 or 3 which I'd estimate is less than 5% from what I saw. Good luck and if you do go I'd love to hear how it went :)
Everything you hate about yourself is actually a loving and protective part of you; even the impulse to escape is a defense mechanism designed to keep you from experiencing too much distress all at once. Exploring these parts of us on a day-to-day basis is the key to bettering ourselves. Thank you Dan, for another great f**** video.
1. Write out what you do, what you think you should do, (specific) kinda your thought patterns 2. Write dow exactly you fell throughout the day 3. Cricle the things that brings the result 4. Eliminate those stuff which is trash 5. Restructure tasks and obligations 6. Create a week long plan - every single thing that you're going to do over the next week. (Of each day throughout)
So good Dan! I definitely pulled out my journal for this one. Resetting your life every now and then is almost necessary. Pick your head up, figure out what you need to do different. change your life.
Reset or evolution? lifting higher weights on the same exercise is one way to grow, another is to try new things even though at the start it sucks and you suck at it. A humbling experience yet still leads to growth
Hey Dan, lately you've become my go-to youtuber. Can you make a video on how to be in control of your emotions? As i see a lot of people struggling with it nowadays...
I'd like to listen your thoughts on dating advice. 😂 I know it's not related to business and your kind of advice but I'd like to see your approach around this. It would be helpful to not waste time! Great videos always. ✨🥰
Hello Dan. I am working from home as a freelancer. I am having hard time to wake up early (ı wake up usually at 10:30-11:00 am). Therefore, I start the day a little late and all day time is usually spent with work. Can you make a video about how to get disciplined as a freelancer? Maybe a video about sleep? Thank you for sharing
Writing everything down sounds very simple and many are not convinced that it helps. But the truth is that the human mind can be very confusing at times, and what you think you're thinking very clearly, when you write it down, you realize that you're not thinking clearly at all, it's just a jumble of vague ideas. These slimy thoughts you will repeat over and over again. Eventually it will leave you in some subconscious fear of doing nothing and being constantly anxious.
So many great insights in here! One thing I would add - I know it sounds simple but - Try to enjoy the journey, create a schedule of actions that you genuinely enjoy. You mention “flow” this is key! And having genuine excitement and enjoyment for your actions will help a lot in long term consistency! Cheers 🥂
Hi Dan. I'm quite stuck at the moment. My previous 9-5 gave me absolutely no joy whatsoever and I want financial freedom. I have been deliterating between multiple choices, social media marketing agency, ecom, stock trading and being a fitness influencer. I can't quite pick. Any tips when someone is stuck with choices? You seem like someone who has the wisdom with mental blockers and blockers in general. By the way, your content is very good. Alot of wisdom.
A hard reset, cleaning house, and reordering life is exactly the discussion I had yesterday with a friend. This channel and your Modern Mastery group are really helping me out!
I'm currently bogged down by unexpected events in life. After watching this, I feel refreshed. I completely agree that having a journal is powerful. One has to try having one to experience the benefits of putting your thoughts on paper. Thank you for this. 🧠
Any tip on ADHD and ordering the week/life in a way that doesn’t feel like extremely painful (motivation disregulation) nor relies on sheer will power (source of self-harm for neurodivergents). Anyone?
Dude I swear a month ago you had like 80k subs? You’re killing it man! It’s proof that the ideas you’re sharing work if you actually take action on them. I haven’t watched this video yet (got excited seeing you uploaded) but just wanted to say keep killing it! Much love ❤
I think the pen-on-paper method is very effective when it comes to seeing how much you are fcking up day by day; it just puts it right in front of you. But if you would just stop doing things you know that aren't good for you, then you wouldn't have to do these techniques or different approaches. You can just use common sense and then use discipline to manifest the common sense that you already have.
The timing of your videos has been absolutely insane over the last few weeks. They seem to appear just at the right time for me. Coincidence? Nah! Time to get back on track, be honest about what has started to hold you back and cut out all the bullshit and limiting thoughts / actions. Really appreciate the effort Dan, you’re helping a lot of people here! Keep the short form videos coming 🙏🏼
Hey man. I found you on instagram and somehow you just became my biggest role model just like that. Bro. I’m going to become a person you and I both will be proud of just by listening to your advice. Just you watch. Additionally. I’ll give myself a timeframe for a milestone too. My birthday, March 20th, I’ll put out my first UA-cam video. I wish to pivot,to not only become someone new, but finally become myself. I’ll be … I’ll be terrified and unsure, that I know, but nonetheless I’m going to take this giant leap. I hope you’ll watch me fly then. ❤Tangi
Dan - many concepts you’ve shared on your channel I’ve done for a while so connected with you quickly. Except the writing, which I am now doing everyday and has made a drastic positive impact on my being and my work. The writing alone was a huge missing piece in my life and business. Thank you G
I don’t get it right. What should I write first? I’m thinking about so much, I would be writing all day. And the second list is just a list with tasks I have to accomplish?
Is it best to also write down the start time and end time of the things you do daily? For morning, day, night routine. Are we being specific with start time end time or is it more, in the morning (whatever one decides is the time range), complete these tasks In the day, complete these at any time. Just trying to figure out if it’s better to be specific with time ranges
I have been trying to use the power plan, and it usually takes me 2 hours each time I write. Even though it's time-consuming, I can feel the significant impact it has on my life. The week before the last was particularly busy, and I didn't have time to work on power plan for 5 days in a row. I caught up over the weekend. Last week was busy again, and I missed 4 days of writing. Now I'm catching up, and it feels very challenging. It seems like the constant catching up is not sustainable. Is there a specific detail I'm not executing properly? I need help and advice, thank you very much in advance!
How to audit your life: - Write down every thing you do daily - Write down how you feel during these times - Now relentless remove anything you do that isn't serving your higher purpose - Write down exactly what tasks you need to do to reach your higher purpose
Thanks Dan! Enjoyed the shorter format (I also enjoy your long ones) - you are becoming more articulate and better on camera, cool to see. Also, great exercise for a hard reset, I will try it! I have a little popup every hour for mindfulness, I will tack on tracking what I'm doing/feeling/thinking about.
This is a process I’ve been doing every now and then when I feel overwhelmed mentally. Now that I know it’s an actual strategy, I want to try doing it more often
Unique visual id, kind of message and how close that to real life, the seriousness of content. Seems like I found one more channel that fit the criteria.
man I gotta say, I just discovered you through your Life is a Video Game video and frankly, I was expecting a run of the mill self help channel that focuses on the wrong things that pushes hyper productivity. Instead, I was met with a world shattering viewpoint that I have heard before, but the way that you broke it down and used each point to build upon the next absolutely blew my mind. So I wrote notes on the whole video and reflected on it for an hour, then said "let me just check out his most recent one real quick" to see if he is consistently like this and within the first few seconds you say "I need a reset when I catch myself thinking back to when times were better often" and I couldn't have described my current state lately any better than that. I think I will be watching the Life is a Video Game video every night. I am tired of thinking back to my times in college with my perceived perfect gf that I have lost and I am tired of being a slave to pointless UA-cam videos that quiet my mind but yield me nothing. Thank you, truly, and please stay authentic to yourself. You have something that not a single other one of these self help, productivity UA-camrs has. Can't put the words to it. Authentic, truthful and actionable are close words but not even doing it justice. Picking up a copy of Flow by Mihaly tonight.
Hey Dan. Love your work. Quick question - does a typical week for you include any days when you don't do any work? If so, how many days off do you generally take each week?
At the moment, no. While writing is my "work," I couldn't see myself going a morning without it. I know I will have to restructure as I take on more responsibility outside of business though.
Dan I just wanted to say that I really enjoy watching your content. These videos at the beginning of this year really do inspire me. You are actually one of the UA-camrs that inspired me to start making my own vids. Thank you for that :)
I have a big meeting in an hour with a six figure deal/investment on the table. I feel like I’m in a walking movie. From just following you in your emails, your class, etc. gave me the confidence to set this up and it’s actually happening today. I wouldn’t of even had the confidence to set this up or the know how without following you. I appreciate it a lot.
good luck, hope u the best
Dan is really changing the game of mastering and controlling the mind for everyone.
Protect him at all cost and goodluck on your meeting bro.

I'm currently bogged down by unexpected events in life. After watching this, I feel refreshed. I completely agree that having a journal is powerful. One has to try having one to experience the benefits of putting your thoughts on paper. Thank you for this. 🧠
Any tip on ADHD and ordering the week/life in a way that doesn’t feel like extremely painful (motivation disregulation) nor relies on sheer will power (source of self-harm for neurodivergents). Anyone?
Read "Atomic Habits" by James Clear! :)
Thank you ❤
Dude I swear a month ago you had like 80k subs? You’re killing it man! It’s proof that the ideas you’re sharing work if you actually take action on them. I haven’t watched this video yet (got excited seeing you uploaded) but just wanted to say keep killing it! Much love ❤
I found this page a week ago and he had 80k.
I think the pen-on-paper method is very effective when it comes to seeing how much you are fcking up day by day; it just puts it right in front of you. But if you would just stop doing things you know that aren't good for you, then you wouldn't have to do these techniques or different approaches. You can just use common sense and then use discipline to manifest the common sense that you already have.
The timing of your videos has been absolutely insane over the last few weeks. They seem to appear just at the right time for me. Coincidence? Nah!
Time to get back on track, be honest about what has started to hold you back and cut out all the bullshit and limiting thoughts / actions.
Really appreciate the effort Dan, you’re helping a lot of people here! Keep the short form videos coming 🙏🏼
Hey man. I found you on instagram and somehow you just became my biggest role model just like that. Bro.
I’m going to become a person you and I both will be proud of just by listening to your advice.
Just you watch.
Additionally.
I’ll give myself a timeframe for a milestone too. My birthday, March 20th, I’ll put out my first UA-cam video. I wish to pivot,to not only become someone new, but finally become myself.
I’ll be … I’ll be terrified and unsure, that I know, but nonetheless I’m going to take this giant leap.
I hope you’ll watch me fly then.

🎥 equipment in , podcast beginnings. Message me
Resetting my life and finding myself clicking in your channel and what do you know, 1 second ago you published this video! I'll absolutely watch this
You described me man. Thanks
Dan please do make a video on breaking habits and addictions , it will really help
Damn Dan. I started following you when you had 55k subscribers. You're blowing up dude! Great job!
Dan - many concepts you’ve shared on your channel I’ve done for a while so connected with you quickly. Except the writing, which I am now doing everyday and has made a drastic positive impact on my being and my work. The writing alone was a huge missing piece in my life and business. Thank you G
Let's go my man, I love it. Writing is so so so big - especially if you are in this biz / improvement space
Excellent, practical and doable.. thank you @Dan Koe
Thank you for your vids, love you
Thank you
God bless you
I don’t get it right. What should I write first? I’m thinking about so much, I would be writing all day. And the second list is just a list with tasks I have to accomplish?
Is it best to also write down the start time and end time of the things you do daily?
For morning, day, night routine. Are we being specific with start time end time or is it more, in the morning (whatever one decides is the time range), complete these tasks
In the day, complete these at any time.
Just trying to figure out if it’s better to be specific with time ranges
Solid help. Applaud you!
I have been trying to use the power plan, and it usually takes me 2 hours each time I write. Even though it's time-consuming, I can feel the significant impact it has on my life. The week before the last was particularly busy, and I didn't have time to work on power plan for 5 days in a row. I caught up over the weekend. Last week was busy again, and I missed 4 days of writing. Now I'm catching up, and it feels very challenging. It seems like the constant catching up is not sustainable. Is there a specific detail I'm not executing properly? I need help and advice, thank you very much in advance!
Dan's content seems perfect for where I am at currently. I like these short videos as well. Keep up the good work.
I’ve been doing just that!! It’s given me lots of clarity. Looking forward to re-prioritizing my life
What a pleasant fucking surprise on a Thursday lol, time to watch
You are diverting from initially you started
Thankyou for clarity in a world full of noise…
How to audit your life:
- Write down every thing you do daily
- Write down how you feel during these times
- Now relentless remove anything you do that isn't serving your higher purpose
- Write down exactly what tasks you need to do to reach your higher purpose
How to identify that purpose in the first place?
@@yksderson Just pick one. Start with a bad choice. Something is still better than nothing.
Amazing Dan, I am all set out to reset my mindset and start from scratch! Namaste!
Namaste my friend
Thank bro .awaked 👍
Dan is the man ! It’s the spirit, the mind where it all begins. PS - I love a good yellow legal pad for my exercises . Such good feelzzz
this is exactly what I needed right now⚡
Thanks Dan! Enjoyed the shorter format (I also enjoy your long ones) - you are becoming more articulate and better on camera, cool to see.
Also, great exercise for a hard reset, I will try it! I have a little popup every hour for mindfulness, I will tack on tracking what I'm doing/feeling/thinking about.
Thank you 🙏☺️
I can't stop sleeping until 5 am and I'm very upset. I work 3 pm to 12 am and i just can't fucking sleep after my shift fml
This is a process I’ve been doing every now and then when I feel overwhelmed mentally. Now that I know it’s an actual strategy, I want to try doing it more often
You're as impactful as I wish I would be. Thank you for your accumulated wisdom.
Love the short clips!
Unique visual id, kind of message and how close that to real life, the seriousness of content. Seems like I found one more channel that fit the criteria.
man I gotta say, I just discovered you through your Life is a Video Game video and frankly, I was expecting a run of the mill self help channel that focuses on the wrong things that pushes hyper productivity.
Instead, I was met with a world shattering viewpoint that I have heard before, but the way that you broke it down and used each point to build upon the next absolutely blew my mind.
So I wrote notes on the whole video and reflected on it for an hour, then said "let me just check out his most recent one real quick" to see if he is consistently like this and within the first few seconds you say "I need a reset when I catch myself thinking back to when times were better often" and I couldn't have described my current state lately any better than that.
I think I will be watching the Life is a Video Game video every night. I am tired of thinking back to my times in college with my perceived perfect gf that I have lost and I am tired of being a slave to pointless UA-cam videos that quiet my mind but yield me nothing.
Thank you, truly, and please stay authentic to yourself. You have something that not a single other one of these self help, productivity UA-camrs has. Can't put the words to it. Authentic, truthful and actionable are close words but not even doing it justice. Picking up a copy of Flow by Mihaly tonight.
Never been this early 💜
Hey Dan. Love your work. Quick question - does a typical week for you include any days when you don't do any work? If so, how many days off do you generally take each week?
At the moment, no. While writing is my "work," I couldn't see myself going a morning without it. I know I will have to restructure as I take on more responsibility outside of business though.
@@DanKoeTalks got it! Thanks!
Found your channel about a month ago and watch it everyday 💪🏽
I recommend Dr. justin sung
Dan I just wanted to say that I really enjoy watching your content. These videos at the beginning of this year really do inspire me. You are actually one of the UA-camrs that inspired me to start making my own vids. Thank you for that :)

Where you started
Good Advice
If I start writing mind thoughts of mine on paper,it would be a novel..
@dan koe, this your real I'd??
Dan's amazing man thank you 🙏
I do not know how to say this but I am so so glad I found you
💯💯💯⭐🌞🌹Beautiful Gentle Spirit.
Mental hygiene is a process best done daily. Writing down what working and what’s not working is the way to go. Great points, Dan. See you Sunday!
See you Sunday Kareen!
How does that amount to 30 minutes?
Dan, you are as old as I am, but 20 years ahead at the same time.
I'm always trying to become the highest version of myself. That's why I smoke so much weed.
How do you think the mind is complex
Dude thanks for content. Am try my new year knowledge
