audio is low! this guy despite not having a natural talent in presentation & teaching, knows his subject well. worth listening. well done. atleast he speaks from empirical evidence.

[@SeamusMcMichael]

Indeed. The video needs more views!

I'm so happy I've found this video. I feel like I'm on the verge of either severe depression or a breakthrough and this video is very helpful. I'm not naturally mentally tough and I didn't have the perfect upbringing to instill confidence and resilience at a young age. But I am an adult now and what happened in the past doesn't define my future and I am taking responsibility & control of my life so I can empower myself to become the confident, mentally tough, determined and successful person I want to become. I can't afford counseling or life coaching although I know I'll benefit greatly from it so I am very grateful for this video. Thank God for the internet and thanks to the speaker and channel for sharing this. Day One of the rest of my life starts today. 😊

Close but no cigar! If you really understood excellence and the main thing you wouldn't say that motivation is short-lived!

What if your bosses - in corporate job like me - only valuate you for your sale records, because THAT is the only thing that matters to them?

Love the reach as high as you can. Now higher! segment. Very enlightening.

[@mohamedlokya4811]

Don't you think he needs to relax a little?

[@lizett3465]

You're absolutely right. I wouldn't want to be this guy's son :) Or wife, for that matter.
