"Working is one of the most dangerous forms of procrastination" Soooo true!

[@RaquelleMantra]

I've read both of Gretchen's books. And I always ask my clients to take her quiz so I know what habit personality type they are. I've heard lots of what she said in this video many times, in many interviews or speeches -- and I never get tired of it. And of course she always shares new gold in ever interview. PLUS I've watched almost all your inteviews Kelsey -- so to me THIS particular interview was a powerhouse one! I love you both

[@daphneedwards2738]

One of the best interviews, what a down to earth person.

[@roserodriguez9452]

wow, this woman is a wealth of PRACTICAL information. Kelsey I think she was definitely an ideal interview for you and what you try to provide for us viewers. I like reinforcing the things I know intuitively with constant messages from people who can articulate things in a way that's unique and helpful. great interview!

[@thekelseyhumphreys]

Rose Rodriguez glad you enjoyed it Rose!!

[@seansworld5877]

[@radiorosienashville]

Will you put up links to the guest ? Pretty please 🙏

[@thekelseyhumphreys]

Rosie Maria good call, we do this on the website but I'll add them here too!!

I spend all my extra time either reading books on improving myself or watching UA-cam videos on things to improve my life . What does that mean I should do , as a kid I would read a lot about murder mysteries

[@gamerkitti]

Could you please post the quiz link?

HI I love what you do Kelsey. But could you make the titles more accurate in that as I watched it was more about book publishing and success. I know her topic is happiness, but you steered it more success in career change and book publishing, and that is not my interest but the title made it sound like it was going to be more focused on happiness and success. I know it may not seem like a big deal, but if the video title seems inaccurate and folks don't think it delivers what they expected they are more likely to give thumbs down which can hurt video.
Not wanting to be mean just something I noticed this time & possibly 1 other video. Maybe really title after the edit and seeing what the convo went towards? Again thanks for all the work.

Hmm, often readers are good writers, often people who love learning about self-improvement go into coaching, or maybe you love researching and learning, there are jobs that use those skills. Keep digging and asking yourself more of these questions!
