Great value sir. Knowledge does two things. Brings in new idea or Endorse a conceived idea for friutition. Discovering you has been a great booster to my

@@be-found4kids506 Psyched to hear that!

Mr Vicino, Read my first Newsletter and frankly I was left speechless to say the least. It woke me up and it took me forward at hyper speed. I’m looking forward to the next one upon hitting my 📥 inbox. I’m glad I stumbled upon your podcast. The narrative and commentary is second to none. There is no fluff just pure 🔥 fire. I’m no groupie, just know greatness When I see it. I Salute you for your Accomplishments. Sincerely, Carlos V

@@MrUcruise That's great! Realy glad to hear you got some awesome value from the newsletter so far. We'll do our best to keep delivering amazing content each week!

I think I'm benefitting more than required.... you're really a source of wisdom

Great breakdown!

I always wonder why people do these silly lists of a video, especially one of such great importance. It's in the actual listening, absorption can have its place. No one on the planet truly seeking to be successful needs your shortcut. You waisted your time doing it and the growth of others who read it without listening to the valuable advice provided by the speaker.

@@pria7538 Maybe you're not just a target audience for these comments. I browse down to these comments to get some context, but for most of the time, to get a summary for videos longer than 10 minutes. Not that I don't watch long videos, but there's just a lot of backlog on my watchlist that breakdowns make the quality check on videos easier for me to decide. The list has got me piqued so Imma watch this later on a longer break.

@@pria7538 It's not wasted brother💪

It’s because most videos are just voice overs of a script…eg chatGPT generated. Time is money. Most important habit not in these scripts since they make more money the longer you watch.

Glad to hear you've gotten some value from the videos, man. That's awesome!

100%

I love this idea.

Lol. It's true. I'm pretty damn lazy.

@@AnthonyVicino Bruv I’m a stoner with adhd. Kill me now😂

@@Autonomous_Don you should probably quit drugs bro

@@Autonomous_Don You can quit bro I used to be in the exact same position and my life is so much better now that im sober. Im at a point now where I truly don't even desire smoking I let myself break sobriety once every month just so I don't feel like im missing out but when I do it often makes me appreciate being sober. Ultimately what has worked for me is the idea of keeping it out of sight out of mind. Doing that means not having any and if you dont have it dont think about it. If you find yourself thinking about it and cant stop have something that you decide to do instead for me that was meditating. When I was first trying to start I had trouble going for a full month it took me a few attempts to be where I am now. Itss definately possible to quit cold turkey so dont make ecuses for yourself but if you find it too hard then start with smaller intervals of sobriety. You could start with only smoking after 8pm then move to only smoking on weekends then move to once a month. Trust me that through doing this you will be much happier. You should also work to removing any other forms of cheap dopamine to help with your ADHD. I think peope largely are resposible for their own ADHD and while some may be genetic I think thats largely an excuse for most people. I used to supposedly have ADHD but I realized it was actually that I was just addicted to cheap dopamine. Ive never met someone who had ADHD that wasnt also addicted to their phones, videogames, or some other cheap dopamien source. For me quitting that was the cure to my ADHD and I think it would be the cure for most if not all people with ADHD. Search up "Dopamine Detoxing" for more information on how to fix your brains dopamine reward system.

@@AnthonyVicino That's not laziness, that's intelligent priority setting.

Good recap

Thank you for your service. I'm glad the videos have been helpful on your journey

Im 40 in the same phase. 15 year army, Med released 6 years ago. Ive gained skills, but never seem to do anything with them. Im home learning all day instead of putting anything into action.

Awesome! Psyched to hear it!

Go for it 🌎 Enjoy the journey.

100%. If you're stressed out, then have you "really" succeeded? I dunno. Maybe. But it's not the path I'd choose.

Life has a way of throwing us off course every now and again. Don't beat yourself up over it. Just get back on the path as quick as possible. You got this, Shereen!

Boom! Thanks for being here! Psyched to have you.

That's so cool to hear! THank you, Morgan!

Morgan, you are doing the best, hardest, and most useful job in the world. Congratulations on that choice, and I wish you the best for your future

@@ivar6o6 Thank you so much for the kind words! It means a lot to me.

Thank you! I'm glad you dig the nuance (a lot of people don't. they want things to be more cut and dry, black and white). I appreciate you being here!

Dude, I really appreciate you being here as well. Thanks for the support. It means a lot!

I really appreciate you checking this out, Annita! Psyched to hear you loved it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Can't wait to hear how it serves you in the future.

Dude, that means a lot. Thanks for your kind words. It's truly appreciated!

Awesome! Thank you!

So psyched to hear you enjoyed it!

the part about weeding out is so true. This is my 2nd video I just watched from him and his content is def helping

@@georgem5512 I agree 100%

I just discovered you tonight! Wow, you are very clear and insightful!

@@devinligtelyn404 thank you!

Awesome to hear!

Awesome! That's the goal: to get you thinking and hopefully putting some concepts into action! Good luck, Kayli!

Thank, El! Glad you loved it!!

Glad it was helpful!

Sounds like you've been struggling for a long time. I'm curious, what type of business is this? My initial thought (knowing nothing of your situation, so take this with a grain of salt), is that something isnt working. If you keep doing what you've been doing, you'll get the same results. This could be a function of your industry, market, skills, or systems. I have no way of knowing which, but one thing is for certain...a pivot is required. Might only be a small pivot. Then again, could be a massive pivot. Hard to say with the the limited information I have.

​@@AnthonyVicino Thank you so much for the reply. The business is a specialty book publishing company - specializing in signed limited edition hardcovers with 99.9% of the business being conducted through an e-commerce website. It also operates as a specialty retailer - offering signed limited edition hardcovers and special products from other publishers in the same industry. A big part of the problem is that these books are very expensive to produce and unless the author is Stephen King, they often do not sell out. So you pay the printers and binders for 200 to 500 copies of this book to be produced, only sold half of that print run then end up sitting on inventory that to move you have to discount or include in grab bags/bundles. When ordering these limited edition hardcovers from other publishers, the retailer discount is typically around 30% which doesn't give a lot of breathing room for profit. With offset printers becoming more rare, material prices and shipping costs continually going up, paper shortages... the future prospects for the industry aren't exactly inspiring. However, the business definitely has its "niche" and it is a specialized industry without too much competition. The biggest challenge and expense is the cost of producing/purchasing the products, having them shipped to our fulfillment office, then inspecting/sorting/doing inventory, then packing the orders for those products with bubble wrap into boxes, then paying for the shipping labels... the shipping/logistics portion of the business is a huge effort and is the main reason why it's so financially difficult. Unfortunately, there's not really a way around it. We've tried using Amazon Fulfillment for some of our own published products with pretty good success which definitely saved time and hassle by getting the products shipped directly from the printer/binder to Amazon, but that's not really possible for products from other publishers unless we use a middleman company who would pack the units and send them to Amazon for us, but because these specialty products are typically in smaller quantities (anywhere from 10 to 500 units) having another company doing the packing/logistics for us adds so much to the cost per unit that it basically evens out. I've been struggling to think of a better way to handle the logistics/fulfillment side of the business and that's definitely a significant source of the challenges in our business.

Welcome aboard!

Same. Doing ain't easy! :)

Much love! I really appreciate that feedback. Thank you!

Thank you, Mr. Zero. I appreciate the love and support!

Aww, thanks for the kind words, Leila. Honestly, a month ago we only had 200 subs, so the fact that we're at 20k absolutely blows my mind. Grateful to everybody who has checked out the channel!

You're welcome, Kintu!

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you so much, Charlotte!

Psyched to have you here, Janice!

Perfect recap

Agreed

I love hearing that you've been working on yourself. Keep it up!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Great breakdown! Thanks for sharing

appreciate it! Welcome!

My pleasure!

I love that mindset, Legion.

Thanks for checking out the other videos. I agree there are some WAY more valuable videos in the library that have gotten a lot less love from the algorithm. Glad you found them!

Thank you!

That book is so damn good.

Awesome, Robert! Psyched to have you here, brother.

Boom! Way to find the positive through the difficulty. That's the winning mindset and a path that will inevitably lead you to success.

Good luck, Steve 💫

Forever curious!

Thank you, Lisa. I appreciate that so much!

Great question, Filip. Truthfully, we could go a whole lot deeper on this topic, but it's just not viable given the format and medium of KZfaq videos. We're launching a daily podcast next month called Beyond the Apex, which will allow us to go into way deeper detail for those interested. Also, here's a shameless plug, I'm working on a book and a course (Hyperfocus Mastery) which will go way deeper into this topic as well. The book will launch in late 2023, but we're working on the videos for the course as we speak, so hoping to have that out in the next month or so. If you're a passionate student of this world, that might be something worth checking out. Otherwise, we're gonna continue trying to pump out high quality videos for free on this channel, so stick with us as we'll keep going deeper in deeper into this topic and more over the coming year. Thanks for the feedback, Filip. P.S. Love me a good Benjamin Franklin quote!

My pleasure!

Thanks bro!

Thanks for the love, Jamie! Really psyched you enjoyed the content.

Exactly! Glad it resonated with your experiences.

Most welcome

Crypto has been a helluva ride recently. Hang in there! Glad you found the channel. Psyched to have you here.

Thank you! I appreciate that.

Glad you liked it!!

I feel that!

Me too!

Love me some Aristotle.

That simple principle has served me very well in life@!

It really is!

I kind of went into hermit mode, to be honest. I put my head down and just focused on the goals I had set for myself. My true friends understood and supported me.

My pleasure!

You nailed it on the head, Jacob. The beauty of these habits is that they create a virtuous cycle. The more you learn, the more you have to think on and ultimate do. Also, we all fall into the consumption trap. The key is to recognize we've fallen in and then make a conscious decision to get out! Thanks for being here, Jacob!
