Dude, loving your content so much. My sis and I are using your videos (starting here) to help us go from absolute zero experience on a clothing brand vision (her idea, I'm helping), through to making it real and manifest. Hoping it'll be impactful for many others eventually. We locking in! 🔒
30 seconds in and you’ve literally explained what I just told myself a few days ago about having an adhd mind, needing people mind, creative mind, etc. I definitely needed to hear those words beyond therapy for some reason. Thank you so much. I find myself to be locked in for such a short period of time during the day but at least I know what it feels like and hope to grow that feeling.
The tension between finishing this video, playing Pokemon, and working on the next edition of my bi-weekly newsletter almost exploded my head. Thanks for the push! I'm sold. It's time to lock in. 🔒
I’m going to rewatch take notes and immediately implement. As a creative I need better systems and time management. I can get lost in being a visionary and not execute as much . This is helpful with that ! Thank you Oren.
you are one of the most important thinkers and people to follow and learn from in the world rn and it feels like we aren't even scratching the surface of what you have to offer and share and teach. thanks for everything you do O
These type of video are gold ! Very applicable and life changing if we are ready to put in the work. It amazes me how much useful info you share for free. Keep up the great work, man!
I find your content so helpful. This video has a sense of urgency along with it. I'm not sure if that was intentional but it was definitely effective. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I'm going to set up an ongoing document to structure my projects. I think scheduling time for creativity will be a challenge for me but I am ready to take this challenge on!
Currently studying industrial design and just wanted to say I’ve learned a ton of good info through the brand strategies you talk about. I think a lot of talented creatives overlook the business end and only want to focus on making things which I totally get but for me personally, I think mastering business is crucial for both getting more opportunities and being more free financially to make things that reach a wider audience. Fortunately my school bakes in some of these entrepreneurship ideals into the courses but not nearly to the level you’re going over especially with marketing.
Yeah need the balance. Theres a whole culture of “stay true to the art it will come” but yet is just… not how it works for 99% who want to be successful
Man this was 🔥. I just started my channel and niching down to a few things but prob will end up helping Gen X’s (wellness, mobility, flexibility, fasting etc..). Currently stuck in the corporate rat race 9-5 and about to quit my $200K job. It’s eating my soul alive.. In fintech and banking. But it’s time.. I should be able to go full throttle for at least 1 year taking a break from that corp life and locking into my YT mission. Btw, YT recommended your channel. New sub here ☝🏻
@@vittorianesse this is just my opinion, but I feel bad for people who are just in marketing. Like what is your actual skill beneath that? Marketing is constantly shifting. It’s a spectator sport. Not to pump my own tires, but I like to think I understand marketing plus have a whole creative skillset under my belt. Can you imagine just deeming your claim to fame is marketing???? Which I suppose is fine if you work at a faceless corporation… But not if you’re trying to do what is being discussed in this video.
Right on brother! The video I didn't know I needed 😂 Being an introvert helps. Having adhd helps. We are all here to bring our visions into life 🎉❤🎉 Thank you 😊
oren you're a fucking legend. I've been slowly locking in. Set the intention and signed the contract to really lock in today. Then i see this.... inspiring bigger action
Love all this content. I’m more of a pen the paper guy but I see so many downsides of this for the long term. Love the idea of getting into notion. Could you do a more in depth of how your organize and make routine use of it? Thanks so much. This is so motivating and actionable.
I really appreciate this video, your perspective, your content. It’s timely for me personally. In my opinion, you’re nailing an overarching cultural zeitgeist. Thank you 😊
absolutely love the content - in the later stages of launching a brand with my gf and we have taken so much inspo and knowledge from you! question - how would you launch your brand on socials? all short-form content platforms once a day? or do you pump out multiple pieces of content every day?
I remembered seeing your shorts on Instagram and wondered why. Now I know! By the way, here's the full breakdown on how to lock in: Locking in.🔒 09:25 Read the book by Steven Pressfield: The Art of War 10:33 Fight distractions by limiting screen time 11:47 Fight every ounce: Where is my time wasted? (Write down where I'm spending time.) 11:58 Apply constraints by focusing on completing one task related to your goal every day 12:44 For every project, do one thing a day, and stay consistent 13:39 Establish a contract with yourself and hold yourself accountable to not waste a single day 14:21 List out what you want to do within the next five years, and which ones are the most important that you won’t want to violate the contract with yourself. (How do I achieve this goal and move the ball forward every day?) 15:02 Example: Do one t-shirt design a day, do a piece of art a day. 15:08 Habit stack? 15:37 Create a 90-day plan. Break down the goal, list all the things you have to get done to achieve that goal. Break those achievements down into habits and create a checklist. Do one thing on the list every single day. The how.❔ 16:19 Create a place (command center) where you can put your tasks, references, and projects. Example: 16:32 Create a kanban-like structure so you have oversight on what you're working on and have some level of tracking and accountability. 16:44 Create a to-do list: What are we crossing out on. Example: 17:00 Enhance: Incorporate a calendar feature, allowing you to view daily events and plan ahead. 17:19 Some examples given out by the creator of this video on how to break down the to-do list. 17:52 Make a plan and start creating the framework. 18:31 Seek out what's repeatable, identify your repeating tasks, and make them a schedule.
Hey Oren - How do you go about prioritising everything you do? Whats your approach to that? I love ove the content btw. Really getting me into gear. I've always felt like I had to do just one thing but I love your mindset of just having an idea and bringing to life with the skills you have and the connections you've built.
Bro can you make a video about how to start. I feel like I’m at a place where I’m living check to check and my full time job takes all my time and energy and now that I have a kid it feels impossible to get enough time. I wake up at 4am just to get an hour to myself each morning but I have so many projects and vision it feels like it’s spread so thin. If I could just spend a good amount of time I believe I have the skill and talent to be successful… any tips? Thanks bro for all the valuable content.
Im going to attempt to use this framework to develop and create exposure for my next music project. If you have any further tips or another video that can help in this specific industry, please do let me know. thanks
At a macro level I completely degree - at brief periods in your life trying to take the jump to the next level, too many people justify not going hard but having to live up to some healthy standard that’s in their heads that holds them back from a few weeks of sleepless nights that might change their life
It’s annoying because people who don’t encourage cohesiveness are always in charge. Just got laid off by a weed company that is actively selling mid and 50%+ of their wax is from mold weed
@@orenmeetsworld I’m in cooking / food content (IG) and my perception is that there’s too many creators already that brands would want to work with; i.e. a red sea. Is there something I might not be looking at?
sound great, but what if the quality of what you wanna do daily will have to drop so you can be constant without burning out. would you just never make something if greater quality or effort?
Yes. To achieve the metrics this guy has you need to make content that middles "low-effort" content and "potentially valuable" content on the venn diagram. You need high output, which means lower effort, which means ultimately you're not being creative for yourself, but rather to feed the machine in a way that works with your schedule and doesn't burn you out quickly. Then, after you have a following, maybe you can risk higher quality/production-value content. I took a peek at this guys insta. It's very mild marketing stuff, possibly using a bit of GPT for inspiration. He greenscreens himself over other brands' material, pulls moments from long-form podcasts (getting double exposure from a single source material) and makes minimal edits (automatic captions using capcut, no sound design, and simple cutting/splicing). Sure, he records his screen too. Pair all that with him being a good talker and its no wonder he's got a following. He's got a very smart strategy. However, he has no business talking to "creatives," as marketing and the arts are opposites, in my opinion. One has soul, the other takes souls. Sorry for the long-winded comment. But the strategy for you and I will come down to figuring out that venn diagram before we can truly create what we want to create. Otherwise, create simply for you, which is the most honest way to derive fulfillment and self-enrichment

Great video that I resonated with. More creation less consumption is key to surviving the modern world
I remembered seeing your shorts on Instagram and wondered why. Now I know! By the way, here's the full breakdown on how to lock in:
Locking in.🔒
09:25 Read the book by Steven Pressfield: The Art of War
10:33 Fight distractions by limiting screen time
11:47 Fight every ounce: Where is my time wasted? (Write down where I'm spending time.)
11:58 Apply constraints by focusing on completing one task related to your goal every day
12:44 For every project, do one thing a day, and stay consistent
13:39 Establish a contract with yourself and hold yourself accountable to not waste a single day
14:21 List out what you want to do within the next five years, and which ones are the most important that you won’t want to violate the contract with yourself. (How do I achieve this goal and move the ball forward every day?)
15:02 Example: Do one t-shirt design a day, do a piece of art a day.
15:08 Habit stack?
15:37 Create a 90-day plan. Break down the goal, list all the things you have to get done to achieve that goal. Break those achievements down into habits and create a checklist. Do one thing on the list every single day.
The how.❔
16:19 Create a place (command center) where you can put your tasks, references, and projects. Example:
16:32 Create a kanban-like structure so you have oversight on what you're working on and have some level of tracking and accountability.

I thought there was more supply than demand but I'm surprised to learn it's the other way around.
for creators that can do brand content? massive supply issue

sound great, but what if the quality of what you wanna do daily will have to drop so you can be constant without burning out. would you just never make something if greater quality or effort?
