    I’m 23, always learning- through UA-cam videos and books, always thinking of how to escape the rat race. I feel so good watching young guys like myself doing what you guys do, I’m inspired. Learning through your words that our mindsets’ align only reminds me that I’m on the right path.
    Thank you

    I was turned off by the vids original thumbnail but I’m glad I watched . I have always felt like I thought and saw things differently than everyone I grew up with , adults told me it was good but simultaneously feeling like I did not learn or catch onto things as easily as my peers did KILL my confidence. I wanted to be different for so long but this made me feel like it’s okay to not be as good as you think everyone else is , it’s okay to have to work harder in areas others don’t, and it’s okay to have strengths that others don’t even if it’s not clear where they are useful .

    The point about positioning your life for constant elevation really resonates. Entrepreneurs often overlook the power of strategic networking; connecting with individuals who are where you aspire to be can provide not just inspiration, but practical pathways and mentorship to accelerate growth.

    This was an inspirational podcast taking matters into your own hands and remaining focused. However, it is also a constant reminder that bringing up children into this world sometimes outside of a martial home can create a whole array of problems had he focus on himself, perhaps being childfree until ready to take up the responsibility of fatherhood, the dynamic of that relationship may have been different. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and not lean onto our own understanding. Perhaps things may have been done differently, and the women may have had more respect and patience for him and his vision.

    • @christinesmith3231
      @christinesmith3231 6 місяців тому +3

      ​@@raisinbrand3663I don't think she is not appreciating his story or success. Often time the custodial parent has less time available to pursue their dreams because their time is spent taking care of the child ( appointments, activities, school, etc..) in addition to working a 9- 5 to make sure the child is provided for. I think she is saying it is nice to see a success story come from that.

    Relationships is a distraction unless yall on the same page, put it like this, you don’t go taking food out of thee oven when it’s not finished, you wait till it’s done so you can enjoy the results. That’s goes the same for your purpose in life.. It’s not a dream it’s real, it’s your soul purpose. So if your locked in, only a few miles from the finish line, why tf would you get in a relationship or go celebrate like the jobs done.. The jobs never finished. If your not happy where you are in life please don’t go get a distraction to take you off of track. I say that because I did, and that was the biggest mistake of my life.. That woman manipulated and wasted my time, it’s a possible chance I’ll never live out my purpose. That’s the scariest thing in life to face, I don’t want that for anyone..
    So #KEEPGOING nd God bless✌🏾🙏🏾

    Ok, ok, okay........I made a comment a few months ago about being a refreshing version of a diary of a ceo.....It is like you have just changed your whole format to be exactly like Steven Bartletts since that comment. Now you have done a whole 180. It is not refreshing, genuine and now lacks your uniqueness. The intro is highly unnecessary and annoying, it takes wayyyyyyyy too long for you to explain your point before you get to the actual questions, which are usually great questions.....Please change your format back! That is what got you here in the first place. Defo unsubscribing if you continue to copy and paste Diary of a ceo. I will just go there instead. The beauty of your podcast is that you are not the diary of a ceo, why copy everything until you lose yourself and what your viewers are here for! Extremely disappointing!! 😩
