Probably one of the biggest factors in ambitious laziness, is that people would get praise for the achievements they’ve already done and is told how talented and skilled they that they become complacent. They believe the next big step would be straightforward and easy, only to get humbled because they weren’t nearly as good as everyone else trying to accomplish the same thing. Source: Me. I just went through this and I had to reevaluate my goals and efforts. I’m going to have to take a couple detours in order to get to where I want to be and I can’t slack off anymore.
Exactly, I was always complimented in every aspect of my life, people expected me to be an aviation Mechanic and go to a nice college and be rich, I thought the same exact thing since I have an official certification as a teenager, I thought I was special. I’m 18 and I just play video games in my room, no job, no college, not even a drivers license. I feel pretty pathetic lol
@@sircruz1what I can tell you is to GET UP! Find a driving school, pick up a day and apply! When you get your driver's license, get a job in your local taxi firm. Doing this will give you a goal, a source of income, discipline and will help you to understand yourself better (maybe you'll like to talk to the clients? Maybe you'll like to drive? Or maybe you'll hate it all? Whatever the case is, knowing it will help you to pick a job you'll like)!
Sick and tired of being a lab rat and not having any value in my work. Going back to train into healthcare. I work part-time, recovering from an op and lost a pet. Feel like a lot of obstacles in my way but nothing to lose in trying, going to throw myself into it. Thanks, you have a very relatable mindset.
I’ve found my goal, but I’ve been feeling really lazy lately. I know I can do more, but every time I try to get started, I end up procrastinating and then feel that regret afterward. It’s like that ‘post-nut’ effect, if you know what I mean. I think the way to fix this is to just go for it without overthinking how hard it might be ,just start small and forgive yourself along the way. I tell myself, ‘Yeah, I might be lazy sometimes, but I’m working toward my goal, and that’s okay. I have time.’ None of us are perfect, and instead of beating yourself up with, ‘Why am I not where I want to be?’ just focus on moving forward. We’re not stuck things can change, and I’m working on it. Reading through the comments here makes me feel better, knowing that everyone has their own struggles and you’re not alone.
UA-cam has been a dream of mine since I was 14 (now I am 22). I had 3 channels, the first 2 I left behind because they didn't give the results that I wanted (I was too impatient and thought it was easy being a content creator and looking back my videos were terrible back then but they're better now) so the first 5 years there was practically no growth, the 1st channel got like 1 to 10 views per video and had 48 subscribers in total (I uploaded on that channel for 3 years with 92 uploads) then I deleted that channel and started the 2nd channel which did better, the highest amount of subscribers and views I had back then was on the 2nd channel (568 subs and 14k views) but I continued to upload but nothing progressed (I uploaded on that channel for 2 years with 117 uploads) then I decided to quit that channel and start the 3rd channel (16 November 2021) and everything changed. I found a new game and for the first 2 months there was no progress and then I decided to do a stream (25th January 2022) with a certain challenge and it popped off I was getting new viewers very quickly and my subscriber count was getting higher and in the 3rd month (February) of that new 3rd channel I got 1000 subscribers which was insane and completely unexpected and I was so happy which gave me more motivation so I streamed everyday and uploaded constantly. Then I reached the end of the challenge and uploaded the last video of that challenge on 27th March 2022 and that same video got 100k views in 1 day which I was speechless and then 17 days later that same video got 500k views and then 45 days later it reached 1 million views and I was just in shock and didn't know what to say but that was my first 1 million views. So I continued streaming and uploading videos until July came around and I uploaded a video (31st July 2022) and that was my second video that hit 1 million views which I was in complete shock and I realized that I had 2 videos with over 1 million views which I was not expecting but then I took a turn and made the biggest mistake, I began to be very inconsistent and did not like the game as much. I started to play less and less of that game that gave me the most growth and started to upload less and stream less and that hit my channel like a truck. Views went down and subscribers went down there was still growth but not as much before because of my inconsistency. So for 2023 my uploads lessened and my streams lessened I didn't have a schedule and I made false promises and I was playing a game that I didn't enjoy which the viewers knew and could sense it. That went on for a whole year and half until 1st July 2024 I decided to quit the game that gave me the most growth and some people will think that was a dumb idea and that my channel will die because it, they were kind of right the views did lessen a lot but at least I am playing games that I enjoy and someday I will have an idea for a video and it will do well but this time I need to stay consistent when and if that happens. Looking back on the progress that I have made since November 2021 up until now I am very grateful for things that have happened to this channel and what that game gave to this channel because the channel wouldn't be at the point where it is right now if it wasn't for that game but my biggest setback was myself because I was lazy and I still am but not as bad still trying to work on it and eventually I will be consistent. But no matter what happens I enjoy making videos and will continue doing youtube until I die even if it gets me nowhere I do have a 2nd job which is paying all the bills which I have had for the last 4 years but until I make it full time on UA-cam this is what I will do no matter how long it takes but I had a golden opportunity which I wasted because of my laziness and I realized that so I will try my best to not make the same mistake again. To those of you who want to become content creators I wish you the best of luck and I hope you all succeed just make sure to stay consistent and put a lot of effort into your videos.
I don't have anything to "lock in" to because i have no goals, but i enjoyed watching the video, and i agree with you. Hopefully this will help many many others
my game plan is to not be comfortable, but make the uncomfortable, comfortable. i need to do a lot of shit which is lame and boring, consistently. this work is necessary to the places i want to be in.
My game plan is to get closer with God, be successful in school (chemical engineering major), and eventually find my future wife. I know many of you all aren’t religious but there are my personal goal. I’m trying to be more proactive in studying snd reading the Bible daily. It is very hard at times because I can be lazy a lot. I hope we all get the motivation we need!
Me wanting a girlfriend has been a thing for a long ass time, and since I've thought on it for many months now, probably a year, I'm finally coming to terms with the fact that I'm never going to get a girlfriend if I don't have anything to offer. And by that, I mean if I'm not doing anything and I don't have any goals and I'm not finding myself, then how am I supposed to find a girlfriend that matches me when I don't even know what will match with me? There's a lot of ideas and interests I wanna do and that I wanna get started on. School does play a role in it but to be honest, if anything school just feels like a burden to me unless I'm meeting people, which isn't often. There's a whole other issue with school related things but I won't get into them. So the plan in simple terms is: Pursue my hobbies and interests instead of just "thinking" about them, build who I actually am as a person, hopefully get a girlfriend.
Never have I related more to something in my life. Trouble is, I also have a porn addiction holding me back. It's funny because when I was dating my ex that addiction was gone, and for the 5 months that we lasted I would only jerk off once a week, and I did not watch porn at all. However, my ex was a huge mental drain so I basically got nothing done during that time. Fast forward to a month after breaking up, and ive made incredible progress in my daily life, by eating better, sleeping better, getting a job, signing up for martial arts, locking in with schoolwork, while also feeling disgusted by the idea of watching porn. All of this also led me to joining a local car group, with whom I had tons of fun goofing around. Fast forward another month and I felt the addiction poking it's ugly head again. I resisted temptation until one day I felt particularly exhausted and just gave in. Wanna know the worst part? It felt genuinely good. I did not feel any post nut regret or anything. In fact, a few weeks later I went on a binge and that's when I finally felt the good old post nut depression. After beating it non stop for 2 days in a row... Now I don't have such control over it anymore and I can already feel myself slipping in all areas. My performance at work is worse, my schoolwork has also gotten worse, I haven't gone to martial arts lessons in almost two months, I am starting to eat like shit again and I can feel myself losing that beastly confidence I had when I started this process. This is also showing in the way people around me are treating me as I seem to become more invisible to them the more I succumb to these temptations. It sucks because in a way, i am "accepting" this. I'm reverting back to my old self and for some reason it doesn't seem to bother me. I know that a great way to fix it would be moving out of my parent's house but that is currently not an option, at least until I am able to stop spending half my paycheck on car repairs.
It’s helpful to keep in mind that while it’s great to push yourself to get more work done and avoid laziness, it’s also important to pace yourself to prevent burnout.
you are really inspiring niko, I have been listening to your videos while doing my homework. I have been having trouble having motivation but listening to you really helps me!
Thanks for this vid, dude. I've done some things, but also done a lot of procrastinating, tricking myself that "thinking" is productive. Thanks again and good luck with your endeavours
I’m Matt, I’ve been making music for nearly three years and I want to be successful more than anything and know I could be doing more. I even understand what I could be doing sometimes and still don’t do it. I wanted to comment to hold myself accountable. Anyways, great video Niko. 🙏
I came here because I heard you're Greek and i want to support my people, but I'll stay here because your words in multiple of your videos touched my heart. Please never give up and chase your dreams
This video is missing one thing I didn't realize until I was well into my 20s. People spend years working on things, but nothing ever comes of it because the work was misguided and lacked focus.
I slacked off on my first years of high school, terrible grades and no social interaction. In the middle of my journey online classes ended and my grades started to get better and I started joining extra curriculars. I'm nearing the end of my high school years and I want to graduate with high honors in my school so I can get a scholarship at a nice university. I would need REALLY high grades in my last 2 years of high school. Even though a small part of me doesn't expect to achieve I will try my best anyways and will hold out hope that I'm gonna make it. To anybody else reading this I bid you all good luck in your endeavors. Don't forget to give yourself a break from your hard work from time to time so as to not get burnt out and may your hard work pay off so that you achieve your dreams and ambitions with great success.
My game plan: be a man, work out, get mental success. Sacrifice my social life. It will hurt but that is whats distracting me from success. Become cancelled on purpose.
i have the same plan, except i need a social life in order to gain mental success. i currently don't have one, but im working out 4-5 days a week and eating pretty healthy. im sober and i feel good but i have a lot of work to do
thank you for this gang, it's inspired me to do my work cause i kinda js do the bare minimum but i want to to better. it's just so much stuff that i don't do it, even if i want to get better grades.
My life goal is to become a choreographer and professional dancer and I’m at a pivotal point in my life of changing universities from one where I barely have to pay to thousands of dollars mountain of debt for a degree. It scares me but I feel like everything in me and out of me keeps telling me to do it, I’m just scared of debt. I feel like I’m procrastinating but I’m gonna do it no matter how much it terrifies me.
Well, I have been learning to build relationships overtime after graduating at high school, some succeeded, gladly till this day, while others cross to a point where I wished I could help them and didn’t succeed on them. Not only was I lazy, but had a horrible experience on what to question about my life. Believing that I much be a regular sad person than someone who actually loves content such as Dragon Ball or Sonic The Hedgehog. Then I got hired at 3 retail jobs and while many of them I had a complicated experience. Some caused me sadness, others caused me anger and lust. And I learned not to take those paths anymore once I realized that I was too tired from all of that. I want to build more happiness from not only my past viewers and current, but also build an impact with my own happiness with them. That is what I want.
yo recently ive came upon ur chanel and you have genuinely opened my eyes in some yk catergories. My gameplan is tho to just be the best version of myself physically and make it pro in my desired sport (rugby) and i havent had the best time because i tore my acl in one game and i just started lacking sm confidence and aspiration. You helped me lock tf ijn and im greatful for that :)
Tomorrow is my 18th birthday , and I wanna achieve my goals. I have a ged test that I have been procrastinating for months now. I am gonna take that test and I wanna reduce my screen time of like 15hrs a day to just 8. I am getting my once lost passion of art and I wanna be an artist again. Hope you have a great day and. May fortune be with you.
After watching your videos for the last few days in my home feed Imma subscribe. Your yaps are really chill and entertaining but also relatable. Thumbs up my dude 👍
I have recently applied to University (in the UK) and got 2 offers already. My goals are to get my grades up to exceed these offers, get closer to God because I have slowly drifted away from him, and also to become a more outgoing person.
I want to be have to be the top 10% in my batch, I want to have a lean and defined body, I want to have meaningful social interaction, I want to pray and meditate everyday night, I want to be fashionable.
My my game plan is obtaining my apartment getting a car and going to California to see my best friend and from there just growing prosperity even more finding myself loving myself to love all to the fullest.
sorry for my english. A few weeks ago I came to these same conclusions. I have been giving my all for the things I want for some time now, and little by little I have been feeling good about myself. There are days when it's hard because I feel like everyone is a better than me, but now I can't stop. it's time to lock in. I'll achieve something someday.
I’m 18 and I live with my mom and dad, I don’t have a job, I don’t go to college, I don’t have a drivers license and I don’t have any friends. I took an aviation class for two years and I have a certificate, everyone says I’m definitely gonna have a nice job and go to a nice college as a mechanic and be rich, and I thought so too, but now I’m just playing video games in my room, not knowing what I should even do right now. I feel like I’m letting down my family and aviation teacher. I know I need to do something now, I would like some advice.
You should try to get a job, yeah, but maybe you're not just lazy. Maybe something more is going on(but that shouldn't be an excuse to do nothing). Try talking to people you trust about how you feel, or therapy. It's (maybe) not just laziness.
I wanted to get closer to a friend of mine and let her know I like her. Problem is, she blocked me so that’s never going to happen. That was my gameplan.
Niko i can't describe how much i agree with you man... 6:31 david goggins once said Your talent with last untill you reach a certain level... then your growth depends on you and your mind
I agree with everything you just said. I hope more people start not being lazy. My schools rugby team is literally out of members because people were lazy and quit🤦♂️
Or maybe nobody in your school likes rugby. You can't blame EVERYTHING EVERY TIME on "people being too lazy". Life isn't monochrome, there always are some other factors at play
@@cobaltPerzy hm, then maybe they just got tired of it? I was in my school's theatre for 5 years and I liked it. We went all around the town, participating in all kinds of contests and I was always the one who knew the whole program and could improvise to save the play if someone forgot something. But then I stopped enjoying it, got tired of the routine and then just quit. Now, am I lasy for doing this?
Bro, I have literally been thinking of the exact same thing for this whole week. I noticed that once I'm comfortable, I will do anything to stay inside my comfort zone. It's extremely difficult to get off my ass unless I set a fire under it. I think the best thing I could do is create an enviornment around me that only gives me the option to pursue my goals instead of always having an option to be distracted.
I wanna get better grades, get a job, get an awesome physique and truly make a comfortable wonderful life. I'd like to be able to catch my family if they fall financially so in other words I'd like to get wealthy. I'd also like to give UA-cam a shot sometime...maybe try and make content like creators made just a few years ago before UA-cam changed for the worse. But I really don't have a game plan. Ig discipline is the most important thing so im trying to work my way up to discipline. Just joined your discord btw. Hope to see you there brother.
Just finishing up college apps. Feel like imma go back to being lazy after, but hopefully I want to be productive after all this shit is done. Been stressing me out for way to long. Appreciate you for making this type of content talking about deeper topics.
I like your content, and your previous video on "starting over is ok". I’m 20 and doing well, thank you! Thanks for the reminder about my mistakes-after watching this video, I feel inspired to work on my ambitions.
I wanna find not so many fake people who actually care i want to find someone who will love me for who i am And nit be used all the time and taken advantage of cause i have a disability What i really want is the girl or friend I lost but i sent a apology to her and got witch hunted for it all because trying to make things right
Just a highschool student who wants to be a detective yet I am just lazy. I do enough to pass my classes, sure, but I always feel down whenever I do get the grades back, because I know I could be doing so much more. Lucky, I can always put a niko video in the background while I work, as I am starting to try. 🔥
I honestly have a good few things I really want to achieve. The first would be getting myself into professional Motorsport and getting the chance to win the 24h of Le Mans, 24h or Nurburgring and 24h of Daytona. With the money I get from being a driver is what I can use to provide for my family in the future. Next, is to eventually start a car related YT channel where I can get myself a garage to modify cars and then sell them for profit for UA-cam (I’d also make videos about my professional racing career). Lastly, I’d want to make a racing game simalar to something like gran turismo or Forza. With it being better AND more accessible than the competition. The game and yt channel would both be made so I can get people into the liking of Motorsport and cars in general.
I want to maintain a 90 average for my math course, my game plan is to create scheduled time for studying, work on the homework problems, and simply put in the reps and make it a non negotiable.
Your videos have helped me so much. I've never had a good person to look up to when it comes to advice, and you've helped me develop and become a better person. Thank you.
i guess in school im comfortable. enjoy how things go. i'm staying in honour roll, staying active there's not much at all until college. just enjoy my childhood as it happens, make memories, play hockey, the whole 9 yards
Hey Niko, I normally don't comment on your videos as I was reluctant because of worrying about people thinking I'm doing it for clout and such. I want to say you have heavily inspired me and my progress so far. I am appreciative of what you have done with your channel so far. I look forward to seeing more great things from you, it seems like you only get better with time. I'm hoping to push through and grind growing as best I can partially because of you. Cheers 💪💚
Currently in my last year in High School (in Greece) and I'm struggling to study as much as I want to so I'm going to have a notebook making a program to myself and at the end of each month look at my progress and what hours I studied, went to workout etc. I want to pass to a University so bad, just to prove to myself that everything is achievable with hard work and dedication. Honestly fuck laziness.
I think I actually might have done it - by making sure my environment didn't allow laziness, and finding motivation - I wanted to see what you had to say anyway, whilst doing smth else. I'm not disappointed, I quite like the yapping.
Done it again Niko! Somehow talking about exactly where I'm at with life. I'm looking to go travelling next year so the next few months I am trying to lock in at work and gym to prepare for it!
My game plan, bro, is to get my music out there, boost my socials to more followers, and start getting people so I can produce/master for them. This year, I'm also looking to shed some weight and make that part of the hustle too.
I know it sounds weird but I want to become a racing driver while coming from sim racing. I want to show that sim racers can keep up with real drivers. The problem is I don't work at but tomorrow I have a half day at school so when I get home I am getting right to work.
Honestly i'm damn comfortable in my spot. I'm in an internship and live in a rather small room in a shared flat, because i dont have much money, but i will have money when I'm done with my internship. But even then i dont see myself being a hustler or a working machine, i want a peaceful and quite life. And that is what i currently have, so im happy with that.
I want to do a mauy thai fight, I have been training for 2 years but I need to get my fitness up, I always skip the morning run or the extra session but I am just too lazy to fully commit.
Niko, I just wanted to say thank you for the breakup video you did 10 months ago. I’ve been dealing with a breakup for the last year without any progress. Your video touched my heart and gave me a better perspective on what to look forward to!
i have this idea of an app. started the journey but didnt get any momentum because im lazy to read documentations and tutorials. Imma just push through them. Read more books maybe to get more comfortable reading (im not a native english speaker/reader). Yeah i guess the game plan to get a book. read book everyday. get comfy reading. Read documentation even if its uncomfy for now and push through. here ya go. thanks for the content and motivation and good luck to you too!
This is perfect timing for me bc I just got to the point where I’m over her and the loss of my job(happened within one week) and I’m finally starting to get out of bed and get my life together again. Hopefully I get the job🤞
This is exactly how ive been the past few months, my dream job is to be an airline pilot, and it is very well in reach as i am in college working towards it, however recently ive not had the motivation to do anything. and just like you said, the works not even hard (yet). ive recently been changing however, by improving other aspects in my life such as fixing my sleep schedule, doing exercise, and socializing more. its been working so far, ive been getting my grades up, but im also scared for the future as i dont know how long this burst of motivation will last, and i really dont want to fall back into my bad habits.
My Gameplan is not a specific goal in Life. It's just living a fulfilling Life. The goal is to just being able to say "This day was perfect" every night before bed. Can anyone relate? A perfect day would definitely include: Being productive at whatever..., Meditation, Sports, Good Sleep, living mindfully and also time for some Hobbys (Gaming, Reading, Movies). And what really annoys me that this is the plan for the last 2 years, and I am unable to do it. Im just too lazy, unmotivated and seriously dunno what to do.
My Game plan is to find peace, inner peace, to stop questioning myself and always underrate myself on everything i do. And i feel like i am getting close to it, i have recently started kickboxing which is really helping me get confidence in myself and in my abilities while also learning how to defend myself and i have recently reconnected with the bible and God and Reading the books of Proverbs and Romans is helping me too, it’s a long term goal, but i hope i can find peace. Im 17 years old, and at this age, you really start to question what am i going to do in life ? What is my purpose ? How do i find what i want to do in life ? And i believe that in order to find the answer to this haunting everlasting question, i have to be at peace and acceptance with myself.
I want my grade to be better. Since the start of the semester, I focused too much on volleyball to compete in a tournament. I which I ended up losing the final match. During that time was grade went down so badly and I lacked some important knowledge. Right after the game is over, I want to focus in study again but sometimes I just can't stand up and go to the table to study.
Im chasing my dream. Going to post my first video in 30 years. Ive always recorded myself playing games and talking about life, just like you. But i never had the courage to post them. Im turning 30 years old in one week or so, and I think its about time to chase what I want for my life. Thanks for inspiring me, you are a part of this.
Im currently 219 pounds and am very unhappy with my body. I have a lovely partner who makes me feel loved but im still unhappy with myself. I have a very bad binge eating disorder which has caused me to gain the weight. Ive been counting calories and weighing myself everyday, making slow changes and planning things out. My plan is to try and control my binge disorder. Like you said, its time to lock in
Currently my game plan is to move to the US and become a meteorologist,. I am in high school and I'm trying to get there with every move I make in life but I'm stuck up in Canada in a town that seems to be the complete opposite of what I'm trying to do, it seems like the town I am in is trying to hold me back from ever leaving. It seems like no matter what I do, there's something going on here that either stalls it or tries to shut it down. I try to keep up but it gets tiring after the 3rd issue in a month. I know there is probably nothing to talk about and I am just ranting but its nice to get it off of my chest.
While I don't have anything big I want to do i suppose I would like to spend more time with friends other than online, so it feels more personal to me because, something I have noticed in my life is the only time it hurts to lose a friend is when it's personal to me and I can't feel that way through online only
I wanna animate more and get good at it too. My game plan is to just see what im doing wrong and improve it lil by lik, day by day. And i wanna be pround of myself for it.
yea mb for this long ahh comment but i gotta lock in as well tbh im working on one of my first videos rn (i obv have other goals as well lol) i mean i have been locking in but not enough to push through if yk what i mean i know some of you all arent "religious" but i know God will help me make it one day, i just gotta put in the work and do my part well speaking of locking in, as soon as niko said "this video got recommended to you because of this" (or something like that) i feel this is the right timing somehow oh and about my game plan, i just plan to put more effort into my videos and improve better than the previous video although it feels like im losing many battles, i will win the war eventually with Christ my videos will suck at first but eventually i will make it (Luke 1:37 - “For with God nothing will be impossible.”) alr thats it for the long ahh message but yea God bless and make sure to lock in yall
god, i hope i can stop myself from spending so much time on the Internet, this would give me a lot of time to focus on my studies. I always wish for good grades...
I want to get a job in tech. I have all the time I can spend studying the roadmap that I already planned but the games and ig and tiktok and shitty stuff distract me thats the shit I don't want to do every day, I want to study but that depends only on me and I keep destroying myself from within
My goal is to create a game and publish it on steam and also start uploading videos on my channel to improve my communication skills, for now I'm just trying to improve my game every day and one day I will put my first video on my channel.
Marco pierre white ones said "If you have a dream, you have a responsibility to yourself to make it come true ... Because if you don't you're just a dreamer".
come on bro i js laid down in my bed let me rest a bit
nahh fam time to get up
**You cannot rest when nikoyaps is nearby**

Get the yap up rn

“i hate being a hypocrite to myself”
i have never felt so related to a sentence
thanks for the yap session
it did help
Probably one of the biggest factors in ambitious laziness, is that people would get praise for the achievements they’ve already done and is told how talented and skilled they that they become complacent. They believe the next big step would be straightforward and easy, only to get humbled because they weren’t nearly as good as everyone else trying to accomplish the same thing.

god this video just reaffirms what I'm already conveying to myself. whether im disciplined or not to follow through is another story
UA-cam has been a dream of mine since I was 14 (now I am 22). I had 3 channels, the first 2 I left behind because they didn't give the results that I wanted (I was too impatient and thought it was easy being a content creator and looking back my videos were terrible back then but they're better now) so the first 5 years there was practically no growth, the 1st channel got like 1 to 10 views per video and had 48 subscribers in total (I uploaded on that channel for 3 years with 92 uploads) then I deleted that channel and started the 2nd channel which did better, the highest amount of subscribers and views I had back then was on the 2nd channel (568 subs and 14k views) but I continued to upload but nothing progressed (I uploaded on that channel for 2 years with 117 uploads) then I decided to quit that channel and start the 3rd channel (16 November 2021) and everything changed.
I found a new game and for the first 2 months there was no progress and then I decided to do a stream (25th January 2022) with a certain challenge and it popped off I was getting new viewers very quickly and my subscriber count was getting higher and in the 3rd month (February) of that new 3rd channel I got 1000 subscribers which was insane and completely unexpected and I was so happy which gave me more motivation so I streamed everyday and uploaded constantly.
Then I reached the end of the challenge and uploaded the last video of that challenge on 27th March 2022 and that same video got 100k views in 1 day which I was speechless and then 17 days later that same video got 500k views and then 45 days later it reached 1 million views and I was just in shock and didn't know what to say but that was my first 1 million views. So I continued streaming and uploading videos until July came around and I uploaded a video (31st July 2022) and that was my second video that hit 1 million views which I was in complete shock and I realized that I had 2 videos with over 1 million views which I was not expecting but then I took a turn and made the biggest mistake, I began to be very inconsistent and did not like the game as much.
I started to play less and less of that game that gave me the most growth and started to upload less and stream less and that hit my channel like a truck. Views went down and subscribers went down there was still growth but not as much before because of my inconsistency. So for 2023 my uploads lessened and my streams lessened I didn't have a schedule and I made false promises and I was playing a game that I didn't enjoy which the viewers knew and could sense it. That went on for a whole year and half until 1st July 2024 I decided to quit the game that gave me the most growth and some people will think that was a dumb idea and that my channel will die because it, they were kind of right the views did lessen a lot but at least I am playing games that I enjoy and someday I will have an idea for a video and it will do well but this time I need to stay consistent when and if that happens. Looking back on the progress that I have made since November 2021 up until now I am very grateful for things that have happened to this channel and what that game gave to this channel because the channel wouldn't be at the point where it is right now if it wasn't for that game but my biggest setback was myself because I was lazy and I still am but not as bad still trying to work on it and eventually I will be consistent.
But no matter what happens I enjoy making videos and will continue doing youtube until I die even if it gets me nowhere I do have a 2nd job which is paying all the bills which I have had for the last 4 years but until I make it full time on UA-cam this is what I will do no matter how long it takes but I had a golden opportunity which I wasted because of my laziness and I realized that so I will try my best to not make the same mistake again. To those of you who want to become content creators I wish you the best of luck and I hope you all succeed just make sure to stay consistent and put a lot of effort into your videos.
I don't have anything to "lock in" to because i have no goals, but i enjoyed watching the video, and i agree with you. Hopefully this will help many many others
you need to have goals, even if its small time. having no goals or purpose is really bad dude
Go into engineering
@@martin_fiorilol this is good advice but it’s also bad advice
my game plan is to not be comfortable, but make the uncomfortable, comfortable. i need to do a lot of shit which is lame and boring, consistently. this work is necessary to the places i want to be in.
My game plan is to get closer with God, be successful in school (chemical engineering major), and eventually find my future wife. I know many of you all aren’t religious but there are my personal goal. I’m trying to be more proactive in studying snd reading the Bible daily. It is very hard at times because I can be lazy a lot. I hope we all get the motivation we need!
Good luck! ❤
@@larmkaart2414 thanks!
Even as a non religious person, I've never seen someone's life get worse after turning to the Lord. Do your thing bro 💪.
@@jamelbruu2482 thanks man!
I hope I achieve the same goals. God bless you
Amen ❤🙏
Me wanting a girlfriend has been a thing for a long ass time, and since I've thought on it for many months now, probably a year, I'm finally coming to terms with the fact that I'm never going to get a girlfriend if I don't have anything to offer. And by that, I mean if I'm not doing anything and I don't have any goals and I'm not finding myself, then how am I supposed to find a girlfriend that matches me when I don't even know what will match with me? There's a lot of ideas and interests I wanna do and that I wanna get started on. School does play a role in it but to be honest, if anything school just feels like a burden to me unless I'm meeting people, which isn't often. There's a whole other issue with school related things but I won't get into them.
So the plan in simple terms is: Pursue my hobbies and interests instead of just "thinking" about them, build who I actually am as a person, hopefully get a girlfriend.
Never have I related more to something in my life. Trouble is, I also have a porn addiction holding me back. It's funny because when I was dating my ex that addiction was gone, and for the 5 months that we lasted I would only jerk off once a week, and I did not watch porn at all. However, my ex was a huge mental drain so I basically got nothing done during that time.
Fast forward to a month after breaking up, and ive made incredible progress in my daily life, by eating better, sleeping better, getting a job, signing up for martial arts, locking in with schoolwork, while also feeling disgusted by the idea of watching porn. All of this also led me to joining a local car group, with whom I had tons of fun goofing around.
Fast forward another month and I felt the addiction poking it's ugly head again. I resisted temptation until one day I felt particularly exhausted and just gave in.
Wanna know the worst part? It felt genuinely good. I did not feel any post nut regret or anything. In fact, a few weeks later I went on a binge and that's when I finally felt the good old post nut depression. After beating it non stop for 2 days in a row...
Now I don't have such control over it anymore and I can already feel myself slipping in all areas. My performance at work is worse, my schoolwork has also gotten worse, I haven't gone to martial arts lessons in almost two months, I am starting to eat like shit again and I can feel myself losing that beastly confidence I had when I started this process. This is also showing in the way people around me are treating me as I seem to become more invisible to them the more I succumb to these temptations.
It sucks because in a way, i am "accepting" this. I'm reverting back to my old self and for some reason it doesn't seem to bother me. I know that a great way to fix it would be moving out of my parent's house but that is currently not an option, at least until I am able to stop spending half my paycheck on car repairs.
It's easy being lazy, it's hard getting out of that habit when you feel like you've lost yourself in the void most often.
"Grab whatever you got bettween those legs, put it on the table and just go at it"-Niko
It’s helpful to keep in mind that while it’s great to push yourself to get more work done and avoid laziness, it’s also important to pace yourself to prevent burnout.
you are really inspiring niko, I have been listening to your videos while doing my homework. I have been having trouble having motivation but listening to you really helps me!
Thanks for this vid, dude. I've done some things, but also done a lot of procrastinating, tricking myself that "thinking" is productive. Thanks again and good luck with your endeavours
I’m Matt, I’ve been making music for nearly three years and I want to be successful more than anything and know I could be doing more. I even understand what I could be doing sometimes and still don’t do it. I wanted to comment to hold myself accountable. Anyways, great video Niko. 🙏

I came here because I heard you're Greek and i want to support my people, but I'll stay here because your words in multiple of your videos touched my heart. Please never give up and chase your dreams
God this was relatable
This video is missing one thing I didn't realize until I was well into my 20s. People spend years working on things, but nothing ever comes of it because the work was misguided and lacked focus.
I slacked off on my first years of high school, terrible grades and no social interaction. In the middle of my journey online classes ended and my grades started to get better and I started joining extra curriculars. I'm nearing the end of my high school years and I want to graduate with high honors in my school so I can get a scholarship at a nice university. I would need REALLY high grades in my last 2 years of high school. Even though a small part of me doesn't expect to achieve I will try my best anyways and will hold out hope that I'm gonna make it.
To anybody else reading this I bid you all good luck in your endeavors. Don't forget to give yourself a break from your hard work from time to time so as to not get burnt out and may your hard work pay off so that you achieve your dreams and ambitions with great success.
My game plan: be a man, work out, get mental success. Sacrifice my social life. It will hurt but that is whats distracting me from success. Become cancelled on purpose.
i have the same plan, except i need a social life in order to gain mental success. i currently don't have one, but im working out 4-5 days a week and eating pretty healthy. im sober and i feel good but i have a lot of work to do
thank you for this gang, it's inspired me to do my work cause i kinda js do the bare minimum but i want to to better. it's just so much stuff that i don't do it, even if i want to get better grades.
My life goal is to become a choreographer and professional dancer and I’m at a pivotal point in my life of changing universities from one where I barely have to pay to thousands of dollars mountain of debt for a degree. It scares me but I feel like everything in me and out of me keeps telling me to do it, I’m just scared of debt. I feel like I’m procrastinating but I’m gonna do it no matter how much it terrifies me.
Well, I have been learning to build relationships overtime after graduating at high school, some succeeded, gladly till this day, while others cross to a point where I wished I could help them and didn’t succeed on them. Not only was I lazy, but had a horrible experience on what to question about my life. Believing that I much be a regular sad person than someone who actually loves content such as Dragon Ball or Sonic The Hedgehog. Then I got hired at 3 retail jobs and while many of them I had a complicated experience. Some caused me sadness, others caused me anger and lust. And I learned not to take those paths anymore once I realized that I was too tired from all of that. I want to build more happiness from not only my past viewers and current, but also build an impact with my own happiness with them.
That is what I want.
yo recently ive came upon ur chanel and you have genuinely opened my eyes in some yk catergories. My gameplan is tho to just be the best version of myself physically and make it pro in my desired sport (rugby) and i havent had the best time because i tore my acl in one game and i just started lacking sm confidence and aspiration. You helped me lock tf ijn and im greatful for that :)
Tomorrow is my 18th birthday , and I wanna achieve my goals. I have a ged test that I have been procrastinating for months now. I am gonna take that test and I wanna reduce my screen time of like 15hrs a day to just 8. I am getting my once lost passion of art and I wanna be an artist again. Hope you have a great day and. May fortune be with you.
After watching your videos for the last few days in my home feed Imma subscribe. Your yaps are really chill and entertaining but also relatable. Thumbs up my dude 👍
Let’s all be honest to ourselves we’re just too basic to be different . Wake up brother 🔥
yessir💯
I have recently applied to University (in the UK) and got 2 offers already. My goals are to get my grades up to exceed these offers, get closer to God because I have slowly drifted away from him, and also to become a more outgoing person.
Well I guess I’ll try to be myself, let’s hope I don’t get picked on for doing so tho…
I want to be have to be the top 10% in my batch, I want to have a lean and defined body, I want to have meaningful social interaction, I want to pray and meditate everyday night, I want to be fashionable.
You got this, now lock in 💪
My my game plan is obtaining my apartment getting a car and going to California to see my best friend and from there just growing prosperity even more finding myself loving myself to love all to the fullest.
Impeccable timing for this to come out. Thanks bro
sorry for my english.
A few weeks ago I came to these same conclusions. I have been giving my all for the things I want for some time now, and little by little I have been feeling good about myself.
There are days when it's hard because I feel like everyone is a better than me, but now I can't stop.
it's time to lock in. I'll achieve something someday.
I’m 18 and I live with my mom and dad, I don’t have a job, I don’t go to college, I don’t have a drivers license and I don’t have any friends. I took an aviation class for two years and I have a certificate, everyone says I’m definitely gonna have a nice job and go to a nice college as a mechanic and be rich, and I thought so too, but now I’m just playing video games in my room, not knowing what I should even do right now. I feel like I’m letting down my family and aviation teacher. I know I need to do something now, I would like some advice.
You should try to get a job, yeah, but maybe you're not just lazy. Maybe something more is going on(but that shouldn't be an excuse to do nothing).
Try talking to people you trust about how you feel, or therapy.
It's (maybe) not just laziness.
You got this
ive already locked in for a while. and man its legit trial and error but I think thats the point. it aint easy
Bro needs to start a podcast
I have some good news
what's the difference (besides maybe the length and background gameplay) between this video and a podcast?
@@gmelhortablet I think it just the audio he said he'd post it on Spotify
I wanted to get closer to a friend of mine and let her know I like her. Problem is, she blocked me so that’s never going to happen. That was my gameplan.
My fresh air recently was full days outside on my bike !! it helped me focus on my goals I believe, bcp I did better then :D
Niko i can't describe how much i agree with you man... 6:31 david goggins once said
Your talent with last untill you reach a certain level... then your growth depends on you and your mind
I agree with everything you just said. I hope more people start not being lazy. My schools rugby team is literally out of members because people were lazy and quit🤦♂️
Or maybe nobody in your school likes rugby. You can't blame EVERYTHING EVERY TIME on "people being too lazy". Life isn't monochrome, there always are some other factors at play
@BLET_55artem55 if they didnt like it they wouldnt be playing and they always say that its their favourite sport
@@cobaltPerzy hm, then maybe they just got tired of it? I was in my school's theatre for 5 years and I liked it. We went all around the town, participating in all kinds of contests and I was always the one who knew the whole program and could improvise to save the play if someone forgot something. But then I stopped enjoying it, got tired of the routine and then just quit. Now, am I lasy for doing this?
Bro, I have literally been thinking of the exact same thing for this whole week. I noticed that once I'm comfortable, I will do anything to stay inside my comfort zone. It's extremely difficult to get off my ass unless I set a fire under it. I think the best thing I could do is create an enviornment around me that only gives me the option to pursue my goals instead of always having an option to be distracted.
I wanna get better grades, get a job, get an awesome physique and truly make a comfortable wonderful life. I'd like to be able to catch my family if they fall financially so in other words I'd like to get wealthy. I'd also like to give UA-cam a shot sometime...maybe try and make content like creators made just a few years ago before UA-cam changed for the worse. But I really don't have a game plan. Ig discipline is the most important thing so im trying to work my way up to discipline. Just joined your discord btw. Hope to see you there brother.
Just finishing up college apps. Feel like imma go back to being lazy after, but hopefully I want to be productive after all this shit is done. Been stressing me out for way to long. Appreciate you for making this type of content talking about deeper topics.
I like your content, and your previous video on "starting over is ok". I’m 20 and doing well, thank you! Thanks for the reminder about my mistakes-after watching this video, I feel inspired to work on my ambitions.
I wanna find not so many fake people who actually care i want to find someone who will love me for who i am
And nit be used all the time and taken advantage of cause i have a disability
What i really want is the girl or friend I lost but i sent a apology to her and got witch hunted for it all because trying to make things right
I wana get my ged and pursue my academic goals
Bro looks like hes on season 7 of love is blind lmao
Just a highschool student who wants to be a detective yet I am just lazy. I do enough to pass my classes, sure, but I always feel down whenever I do get the grades back, because I know I could be doing so much more. Lucky, I can always put a niko video in the background while I work, as I am starting to try. 🔥
I honestly have a good few things I really want to achieve. The first would be getting myself into professional Motorsport and getting the chance to win the 24h of Le Mans, 24h or Nurburgring and 24h of Daytona. With the money I get from being a driver is what I can use to provide for my family in the future. Next, is to eventually start a car related YT channel where I can get myself a garage to modify cars and then sell them for profit for UA-cam (I’d also make videos about my professional racing career). Lastly, I’d want to make a racing game simalar to something like gran turismo or Forza. With it being better AND more accessible than the competition. The game and yt channel would both be made so I can get people into the liking of Motorsport and cars in general.
I want to maintain a 90 average for my math course, my game plan is to create scheduled time for studying, work on the homework problems, and simply put in the reps and make it a non negotiable.
My goal is to make the volleyball team.
Your videos have helped me so much. I've never had a good person to look up to when it comes to advice, and you've helped me develop and become a better person. Thank you.
i guess in school im comfortable. enjoy how things go. i'm staying in honour roll, staying active there's not much at all until college. just enjoy my childhood as it happens, make memories, play hockey, the whole 9 yards
Hey Niko, I normally don't comment on your videos as I was reluctant because of worrying about people thinking I'm doing it for clout and such.
I want to say you have heavily inspired me and my progress so far. I am appreciative of what you have done with your channel so far. I look forward to seeing more great things from you, it seems like you only get better with time. I'm hoping to push through and grind growing as best I can partially because of you. Cheers 💪💚
Currently in my last year in High School (in Greece) and I'm struggling to study as much as I want to so I'm going to have a notebook making a program to myself and at the end of each month look at my progress and what hours I studied, went to workout etc. I want to pass to a University so bad, just to prove to myself that everything is achievable with hard work and dedication. Honestly fuck laziness.
Just don't forget that rest is a very important part of the process. You can't do your best if you're burnt out.
first thing i see on my youtube homepage it's a sign
I think I actually might have done it - by making sure my environment didn't allow laziness, and finding motivation - I wanted to see what you had to say anyway, whilst doing smth else.
I'm not disappointed, I quite like the yapping.
Done it again Niko! Somehow talking about exactly where I'm at with life. I'm looking to go travelling next year so the next few months I am trying to lock in at work and gym to prepare for it!
My game plan, bro, is to get my music out there, boost my socials to more followers, and start getting people so I can produce/master for them. This year, I'm also looking to shed some weight and make that part of the hustle too.
I know it sounds weird but I want to become a racing driver while coming from sim racing. I want to show that sim racers can keep up with real drivers. The problem is I don't work at but tomorrow I have a half day at school so when I get home I am getting right to work.
Honestly i'm damn comfortable in my spot. I'm in an internship and live in a rather small room in a shared flat, because i dont have much money, but i will have money when I'm done with my internship. But even then i dont see myself being a hustler or a working machine, i want a peaceful and quite life. And that is what i currently have, so im happy with that.
You just made me clean my room
I want to do a mauy thai fight, I have been training for 2 years but I need to get my fitness up, I always skip the morning run or the extra session but I am just too lazy to fully commit.
Niko, I just wanted to say thank you for the breakup video you did 10 months ago. I’ve been dealing with a breakup for the last year without any progress. Your video touched my heart and gave me a better perspective on what to look forward to!
Watching bros content is helping me through a breakup thanks king
i have this idea of an app. started the journey but didnt get any momentum because im lazy to read documentations and tutorials. Imma just push through them. Read more books maybe to get more comfortable reading (im not a native english speaker/reader). Yeah i guess the game plan to get a book. read book everyday. get comfy reading. Read documentation even if its uncomfy for now and push through. here ya go. thanks for the content and motivation and good luck to you too!
This is perfect timing for me bc I just got to the point where I’m over her and the loss of my job(happened within one week) and I’m finally starting to get out of bed and get my life together again. Hopefully I get the job🤞
This is exactly how ive been the past few months, my dream job is to be an airline pilot, and it is very well in reach as i am in college working towards it, however recently ive not had the motivation to do anything. and just like you said, the works not even hard (yet). ive recently been changing however, by improving other aspects in my life such as fixing my sleep schedule, doing exercise, and socializing more. its been working so far, ive been getting my grades up, but im also scared for the future as i dont know how long this burst of motivation will last, and i really dont want to fall back into my bad habits.
My Gameplan is not a specific goal in Life. It's just living a fulfilling Life. The goal is to just being able to say "This day was perfect" every night before bed. Can anyone relate? A perfect day would definitely include: Being productive at whatever..., Meditation, Sports, Good Sleep, living mindfully and also time for some Hobbys (Gaming, Reading, Movies).
And what really annoys me that this is the plan for the last 2 years, and I am unable to do it. Im just too lazy, unmotivated and seriously dunno what to do.
My Game plan is to find peace, inner peace, to stop questioning myself and always underrate myself on everything i do. And i feel like i am getting close to it, i have recently started kickboxing which is really helping me get confidence in myself and in my abilities while also learning how to defend myself and i have recently reconnected with the bible and God and Reading the books of Proverbs and Romans is helping me too, it’s a long term goal, but i hope i can find peace. Im 17 years old, and at this age, you really start to question what am i going to do in life ? What is my purpose ? How do i find what i want to do in life ? And i believe that in order to find the answer to this haunting everlasting question, i have to be at peace and acceptance with myself.
I want my grade to be better. Since the start of the semester, I focused too much on volleyball to compete in a tournament. I which I ended up losing the final match. During that time was grade went down so badly and I lacked some important knowledge. Right after the game is over, I want to focus in study again but sometimes I just can't stand up and go to the table to study.
Im chasing my dream. Going to post my first video in 30 years. Ive always recorded myself playing games and talking about life, just like you. But i never had the courage to post them. Im turning 30 years old in one week or so, and I think its about time to chase what I want for my life. Thanks for inspiring me, you are a part of this.
dude i love you so much please dont like kids
I fucking love this series man
Im currently 219 pounds and am very unhappy with my body. I have a lovely partner who makes me feel loved but im still unhappy with myself. I have a very bad binge eating disorder which has caused me to gain the weight. Ive been counting calories and weighing myself everyday, making slow changes and planning things out. My plan is to try and control my binge disorder. Like you said, its time to lock in
Currently my game plan is to move to the US and become a meteorologist,. I am in high school and I'm trying to get there with every move I make in life but I'm stuck up in Canada in a town that seems to be the complete opposite of what I'm trying to do, it seems like the town I am in is trying to hold me back from ever leaving. It seems like no matter what I do, there's something going on here that either stalls it or tries to shut it down. I try to keep up but it gets tiring after the 3rd issue in a month. I know there is probably nothing to talk about and I am just ranting but its nice to get it off of my chest.
3:59 hit hard
So hard
Thanks niko thanks, really. I want to fulfill my dreams so bad ill actually go for them. Thanks.
While I don't have anything big I want to do i suppose I would like to spend more time with friends other than online, so it feels more personal to me because, something I have noticed in my life is the only time it hurts to lose a friend is when it's personal to me and I can't feel that way through online only
I wanna animate more and get good at it too. My game plan is to just see what im doing wrong and improve it lil by lik, day by day. And i wanna be pround of myself for it.
yea mb for this long ahh comment but
i gotta lock in as well tbh
im working on one of my first videos rn (i obv have other goals as well lol)
i mean i have been locking in but not enough to push through if yk what i mean
i know some of you all arent "religious" but i know God will help me make it one day, i just gotta put in the work and do my part
well speaking of locking in, as soon as niko said "this video got recommended to you because of this" (or something like that) i feel this is the right timing somehow
oh and about my game plan, i just plan to put more effort into my videos and improve better than the previous video
although it feels like im losing many battles, i will win the war eventually with Christ
my videos will suck at first but eventually i will make it (Luke 1:37 - “For with God nothing will be impossible.”)
alr thats it for the long ahh message but yea God bless and make sure to lock in yall
W mane, im trynna get big too as a youtuber. But remember, God knows what’s best for our will
Burh its about to be thanksgiving and bro wants me to Lock in 💀
Might have to skip some thanksgivings and Christmas’s to get where 99% of people never will
My game plan is to start working in the hospital at the end of the year as a CNA
god, i hope i can stop myself from spending so much time on the Internet, this would give me a lot of time to focus on my studies. I always wish for good grades...
I literally got the notification for this video as soon as I opened my phone... I guess my phone is trying to telling me something 🤔
thank you bro
bro really used redstone as an analogy 😭🙏
Appreciate the yap
I want to get a job in tech. I have all the time I can spend studying the roadmap that I already planned but the games and ig and tiktok and shitty stuff distract me thats the shit I don't want to do every day, I want to study but that depends only on me and I keep destroying myself from within
I want to be successful in school and in my education as a whole
Alright dude, this is the final push I needed.
Thank you
Not gonna finish the video now though I'll watch the rest from 4:00 later in my life.
My goal is to create a game and publish it on steam and also start uploading videos on my channel to improve my communication skills, for now I'm just trying to improve my game every day and one day I will put my first video on my channel.
im not lazy im just bit stressed cus i got so much stuff to focus on thats overwhelming me
Marco pierre white ones said "If you have a dream, you have a responsibility to yourself to make it come true ... Because if you don't you're just a dreamer".
the fact that I instantly clicked the vid in my notifications, thank you Niko
I will lock in
