Working as a programmer was just a series of puzzles. Now as a farmer it's a much more varied and interesting series of puzzles where you have less control of the variables. I now have basic skills in DC solar, hydraulics, mechanics, construction, earthworks, composting, growing spray free greens, animal husbandry. The best things you can set up in life low maintenance systems that save or make you money. For me it was solar power production, an EV for moving produce. Growing low maintenance produce. Getting paid to accept green waste for composting. Finding food waste that is suitable for supplementing stock, eg milk, brewery grain, bread. You can do these things at a small scale in the suburbs.
On "completing things gives dopamine" there is power in making lists and importantly *checking them off*. It sounds dumb, but don't have big things on your to-do, have bite sized ones that you can easily achieve. You only tick off 3 things and you feel like you failed. You tick off 10+ things in a day and you feel like a legend. It doesn't matter what they were it's just how many you tick off. You try doing that for even just a week and you'll get what I mean
Good point - but problem solvers arent always paid for what they do. mums and wives are often total vikings at problem solving for others in life around them without them even knowing it, and sadly most of it cant be monetised. Might be a successful life - but not a rich one.
I write this stuff down literally on my walls behind me and in front of me so it's either on the back of my mind or right in front of me at my computer desk.
I actually work at BHP and believe it or not they really do value people who go above and beyond to identify opportunities and solve them. Anything to move more ore more quickly.
Jordan Shanks: Write down who you are Me: A nobody who will never succeed Jordan Shanks: Well you successfully failed didn't you Me: .... no no he has a point
That is the most redundant thing I have ever heard. Obviously not, friendlyjordies is political and has a wig collection; Shanks here lives in the Caribbean on Success Island with access to multidimensional portals; duh!
Gunna disagree on this one. Every place I've worked, I've tried improving/problem solving the easy and obvious things. In an attempt to better the workplace. All it creates is more problems, that you created. You become the 'non drone' that won't follow the line blindly. No matter how dumb a process is, no matter how wasteful or pointless, people will keep doing it regardless because that's just the way it's always been done. 'Helping isn't helping' is my new motto.
I think the moral here is to find the problems THEY THINK they need solved. Employers definitely aren’t gonna like someone who comes in and tries to change things because they think they know better. Not saying you did that, but I’ve had similar experiences from employers when trying to change systems that they think are running fine.
You've been employed to solve a certain problem, for which your labour is the solution. If you want to solve additional problems, you need to present them to your manager in a clear and concise way beforehand; you can't go off on your own and just fix them, because they have a system in place and you'd be undermining this system. The mindset presented by Jordan here is stated from a leadership position, not the position of a worker, so if you're not the leader then you need to brinc up these issues and your ideas for solutions to open a discussion. Over time, they'll come to see your ability to recognise and address these issues.
@@claysettlement9757 Apart from a few ppl at the top we're all just workers, really. I've tried the 'sneaky changes' by just doing it and hopefully it will work (sometimes it does) to full blown drawn up plans and mini presentations. Even when they have worked, the moment anything goes wrong it's my head the axe falls (all too quickly) apon. Big and small businesses. Never started my own biz, that I think, is the best place to problem solve.

I am the force of life present since the beginning of time, I am that which gives flight to birds and growth to the trees. I am alpha and omega The beginning and the end. Creator of the firmament and omnipotent leader of all that is deep fried. I am you
If only my life was as simple as doing something piddly and getting a dopamine hit. Hell I got a few things done on the weekend and it was still just whatever. Maybe it has something to do with not having the same sort of Arrogance that most Australians swan about with regardless of whether said arrogance is warranted or not. Maybe I am just way too humble because anything I do is just something anyone else can do so I don't make a big deal about anything I do. It would be nice to have beneficial insomnia rather than the burden of a minimum 8 hours sleep that most of my and the younger generations seem to have.
hahaha as an electrician? What you got a coke addiction too? As if you're broke. The next layer of that which was touched on in this video is then the next law of the economy which is the more complicated and specialised the problem's you're solving the more you'll be paid. Ie an electrician solves harder more technical problems than someone flipping burgers (which is also a problem being solved). However being a brain surgeon is a more technical problem than an electrician, hence they get paid more. The next layer after that is scaling, ie if you're running a business of electricians you're solving numerous people's problems simultaneously hence you get paid more.
The secret to success, depending on how you define it. According to my accountant, it is... a really big inheritance. Possibly a lottery win, but mostly an inheritance. Followed by organised crime, robbing pensioners or a government contract. Usually all three. That's how they all start one way or another. We have a name for problem solvers, employees, preferably underpaid. The rich don't solve problems, they create problems for other people to solve and profit from the solution. That's how capitalism works. Remember the Dutch East India Company? How did they get rich? Tea, opium and slavery? No, they started with a lot of wealthy investors and a massive government injection of a shitload of cash. Then they used that extreme wealth to build a globe spanning business empire. If problem solving made you rich Friendly Jordies would have bought Fairfax by now and own at least three major newspapers. If problem solving made you rich I would own a private island somewhere in the middle of the pacific, protected by sharks with frickin lasers and dolphins with fricking torpedoes. If problem solving made you rich Clive Palmer, Gina Rinehart, Elon Musk, etc. would all be living rough under a bridge, unemployed and selling their bodies to pay for drugs and alcohol. If problem solving made you rich scientists would all be billionaires living on their private yachts. Not up to their eyeballs in debt, living in a rat and cockroach infested apartment with faulty plumbing, a cruel and occasionally violent landlord. Perhaps Jordan should get off the self help bandwagon clichés and stick to what he's good at. The fact that he does it just comes off as weird. It's like watching Ben Shapiro if he promoted climate action or Matt Walsh if he celebrated pride month. It's just weird. Somewhere deep in the uncanny valley between bad parody and fake sincerity.
Pfffft don't watch this channel. I hope you never click on it again, I don't want sad twitch addicts like you on it. You think being cynical = you "get it" and that you're better than everyone. Let me tell you something. If it wasn't for self help...you wouldn't know who I am to be snarky in my comments. The only reason I got to the point of being able to compete with the likes of 7 and 9 is through all the principles you so smugly dismiss as "cliches". To your own detriment. No one else's. Also what's with this "the rich only create problems that's how they become rich" and then using a few billionaires that are inheritors as counter examples when in reality you're dismissing what? Virtually every business ever created that worked its way from the ground up? We're not even talking about billionaires by the way we're talking about everything from laundromats up. In short I've got a counter to your lame little "cliche" you finish with " DON'T stick to what you're good at". You complaining, whinging and pretending that that's some sort of net good in the world is pathetic.
An accountant looks at things through the lens of money. You want them to help you solve financial problems, but the problems of life?? Why would you listen to them for that? Most of them are miserable. I was one of the top students in accounting at university and I pulled out to become a nurse. I realised spending your life purely dealing with money is a horrible way to frame your existence.

Has anyone noticed Jordan Shanks looks pretty similar to that friendlyjordies guy
Nah completely different. You need to have your eyes checked.
if I squint hard enough I can kind of see the resemblance...
pretty sure it's a different person, I mean one wears a suit and the other never does
