The questions I got in this weeks episode are truly profound and thought provoking…. Hit like and subscribe for a new episode every Monday 🙌🏽

Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly.

I'd love to Steven do something with a really regular person. Not a celebrity or someone really far down the line. Just someone maybe who has just started a small business or in the early stages of it and see what he could do with them. Would be relatable for most of the viewers

Takeaways from the podcast: 1/3. Focus is important and essential for success. If you don't give 100% of your focus towards the thing you are doing, you are basically reducing your chance of success. But if you do invest 100% of your efforts, you are giving it the best possible chance of success. 2/3. Imposter syndrome is a sign of growth. If you are feeling that you are an imposter, you are in a situation where you will be able to grow a lot. "If you are not outside of your comfort zone, you will not grow". That will allow you to strive forward and learn. 3/3. The three things to look at for success: Enjoyment, Evidence, Validation Enjoyment: If you are not enjoying it, you will probably not be giving 100% of your time attention. Evidence: Are you seeing evidence of progress? Is there marginal progress from one period to the next period? Validation: Am I getting feedback from the people and are people showing up again and again? Are they helping you grow and is there continuous increase X (important metric)?

Creating wealth and gaining financial freedom isn’t as difficult as lots of people think. Through the right information, building wealth and staying financially stable forever is way easy. Investing is the only true way to earn a great income and staying wealthy forever..

"Imposter syndrome isn't evidence that you are in the wrong situation, or one that you aren't supposed to be in, it's clear proof that you are in the right one. You are exactly where you are supposed to be." Steven you are a bloody genius.

After learning more about you, how you spoke to your guests, how you held yourself. I slowly started to realise how great this channel is. And I'm glad. May have just found the most down to earth and humble young person on this whole site. Keep creating this content. You don't care about the 'clout' or the flashy cars and houses. It is all about the journey and building stuff that motivates you.

That’s the best positioning of imposter syndrome to change the thought process around it; that I’ve ever heard Steven. As someone who has created several successful businesses but daily suffers from crippling self doubt preventing me from pursuing new ideas, this has been a lightbulb moment. Thank you Steven, you brighten up my early morning dog walks every day too. Best wishes Emma

This was amazing, thanks Steven! I needed to hear number 1 - sometimes I have so many ideas I just have to push them the side and focus on what I’m doing in the fitness industry with business. I also always think the feeling in my stomach is “excitement” as opposed to fear and that changes so much for me mentally. Loved these questions and answers.

Thank you so much for making this video and for this podcast, Steven. I am from Afghanistan and I am now fortunate to call the US my home and be able to watch, learn and benefit from your channel. I have been binging your podcast for the past few days and I already know that my mind and actions have changed for the better. Last month, I admitted myself to a psychiatrist hospital for suicide attempt, depression and anxiety and today, I am working on converting my hobby to a business. I just want you to know how much you have touched my life. If someone like me, who has lived through three wars, lots of past and childhood and adulthood traumas can certainly say that your platform has impacted me in so many ways, then it can definitely help a lot of others who feel helpless and weak. I wish you all the best and hope to see more of your content. Thank you again.

I’m leaving a wow! You answered so much I needed to hear. So, I would like to leave a big thank you to the people who put themselves out there and asked the right questions. And thank you, Steve, for the thoughtful answers. I’m a month from launch and I had been feeling overwhelmed. I am coming back to this video each time I feel I’m crumbling to the nervousness of running the show. Thank you!🥰💫🙏🏼

Aww that last guy was such a darling, I have so much empathy for him. Hugs.

Loving these podcast episodes! 🔥

A massive part of this podcast's success is the presenter's charm, charisma, energy, articulateness and his pretty face!

How did you know that I needed this 🙌 . Please do this like every month or something. Every response that you gave had elements that I could relate to. Question one had me sitting down and looking at things that I need to put on that shelf. I have three projects that I am pushing at the same and today I literally sat down in the morning and asked myself why I was stretching myself so thin? My time is divided and I have become a master of none. It's time to focus✔️. Thank you for this video.

Thank you very much for the valuable lesson! The „some day“-shelf plus the fact that I need to focus on one thing rather than many different things and then not being able to allocate 100% to each of those things, that’s what I needed to hear. I am a Full Time Student from Germany and my study really takes up much time, but I also have ideas and visions I would like to follow but put them in the back, to concentrate on my studies. And I always say to myself that it’s a bad thing to not take action and work on my idea „alongside“ my studies but this would also mean dividing my time and energy.. it would in fact shift my focus. Hearing that putting my idea on a shelf and postponing taking action isn’t necessary a bad thing reliefs me

This was absolutely amazing!! Thank you so much for creating this channel, you are such an inspiration. Everything you said was so accurate and honestly I feel so inspired to work my ass off and hopefully be one of the minds that gets to watch you do what you do in person one day 🙌🏾. Sending love and support from Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺

Love this new format. As much as I love hearing the inspiring stories of your guests, getting some nuts and bolts advice direct from you is brilliant, so thank you.

Key Points Master 1 activity. Then branch into multiple domains. 14:50 Feel like an imposter. Hence u know u have to grow. 21:00 R there any jobs going? Oh dear. 25:11 I must have a worthwhile goal that is challenging that I can pursue with people I love.

Well,this was quite impressive! What a start of the week…thank you Steve,for your time taken to answer those questions. I literally started to see things differently since the Mo episode. Can’t wait for the next update on the channel. Good day!

An essential bit of viewing for those starting out and those a little longer in the tooth - what a nice guy Steven is. It's great to see leaders embracing empathy and authenticity over the toxic 1950s bullying and tell management styles I was exposed to in my early career.

Really enjoyed this! The one thing most of us have from running a business, we all can appreciate the hard work it takes to get a business going. We all have had the same problems! Always great to see I’m not the only one.

Steven, thank you so much for this. It really helps us newbees when all you successful people become vulnerable and share these simple yet deep lessons with us. Appreciate it a lot.

Encredibly interesting answers, your core values are very relatable and being 21 I have a lot I can learn from you. Thanks for helping many people like me keep pushing forward

This is my first time listening to this segment. It was so so valuable. I could relate to so many of people who submitted their questions. You've brought a lot of value through insight, honesty, and advice. Thank you, Steven Bartlett! I enjoy your podcast immensely.

As a multi hyphenate juggling multiple passions/business pursuits, I appreciate your note regarding focusing on one thing at a time at least for 6 month sprints. I used to think I had to work on all my projects a little bit everyday or every week but something always ends up taking more priority than the other, so looking forward to trying this out🙏🏽

I have been watching your podcasts for a long time now and I have to say Thank-you for creating content that uplifts folks. You have a huge purpose

I'm very late to finding this, but this episode brought me so much value. You're one of the few people who I've found to deliver truly valuable insights in such an authentic and honest way. Thank you for this 🙏

Another brilliant Q&A Steven. I am very grateful for these pods. My wife and I listen every week, inspiring and we always get a learning opportunity or nugget of gold wisdom which we can take into our own lives to make a change or an improvement. Thank you.

Forever grateful with you Steven, much respect and admiration for your impact on the community with your unbelievable value!

Stephen! The question/answer at 15:00 IS ABSOLUTE GOLD. Thank you!

You're the only youtuber I can watch the full video without getting distracted or looking at my phone. Love the advice you give!

The most informative 26 minutes of information I have heard in a very long time ,short smart sentences, quick resolutions ,and a bucket full of humility, roll on next week

I'm slowly going back though all of these videos and taking a lot of notes to implement into my own life and business in its very early stages. Thank you so much for these insights! Lesser people would sell this advice you offer for free. All the best

Steven, as a dedicated subscriber of your KZfaq channel, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to you on your upcoming 'Diary of a CEO Live Tour.' Your profound insights and unwavering commitment to empowering others have had a profound impact on my personal and professional growth! I can't wait to be there, eagerly cheering you on as your wisdom takes center stage and unfolds its magic before our eyes!👏🏻🤩

I’ve recently began my first role as a CEO and to hear you talk about imposter syndrome is such a relief. I don’t need to know everything I just need to trust my skills and be me - after all that’s what got me here!

You are the man. That advice about imposter syndrome is such a positive twist to what WAS a negative feeling. Nice!! Thanks, bud. Great content as always.

I've been struggling with the focus bit a lot this year, but choosing one thing over 10 has been the best thing. It's actually made me more creative as I now have more headspace to do so. Great advice, and more of these segments please! Thank you as always ❤ ...now to find my nearest post office 😅

I can’t believe I have only recently found your videos. Amazing information that is so relatable to any type of business owner.

Good morning 😃 What a pleasant surprise! Thank you again to all involved in these inspiring podcasts. I look forward to them & really appreciate it. Wishing everyone a wonderful day. 🤗🙌

Love love love the words of wisdom each and every week in the Diary of A CEO - thank you so much Steve

'Journey as Place...Becoming as End.' This statement has evolved into a mantra...from which.... l have guided my own discovery process. There is always much more...to learn. Thanks for sharing your own insight.

I got loads of value through this just hearing your wisdom on some nuanced and very relatable questions thank you Steven, team and questioners!

This young man is simply brilliant and oozing with wisdom.

"Let's change what we thought was true to what we know is true." This one resonated with me. When I founded my company, The Room Xchange, five years ago, I hung onto the original concept and business model with clenched fists. Thankfully, the two years we were in lockdown in Melbourne Australia, gave me the time to reflect, let go and pivot the company into our new rent/rent offset model which has since proven to be the right move. We're in a rental crisis and we're now ready to solve this problem. Thank you for the reminder. I liken it to when you're pregnant. You have an idea of what your baby/child is going to be like with a naive view. It's not until it's born that you realise that you need to pivot and relaunch your parenting concepts! Having had 30 years of experience as a parent, it's very clear how the same principals work in business. You must let go and grow. Thanks again Steve for your pearls of wisdom. Ludwina x

I only discovered the podcast a couple of days ago and I’m loving it, in fact, I’m abducted to it and listening every day to catch up. This episode was exactly what I needed to give me the kick and get my focus back on my business. And I’m absolutely gutted the live tour tickets are all sold out! Would you add extra dates for London perhaps? Lastly, thank you for what you do and for inspiring us!

Hey Steven, I had just decided that I needed to spend more time online in something positive and motivational rather than watching short meaningless clips one after another. The day I decided to change what I spend my time on is when I found your channel. First video was about coffee and I have been drinking for 12 years without realizing what caffeine can and is doing to me. Its been 2 weeks. I sleep better, wake up and finally feel full of energy. I told my family and my sister has stopped coffee in the evenings. She thought she could sleep even with coffee but couldn’t understand why she was waking up tired. I have listened to a few more episodes and its so positive and inspirational. I am so grateful for your channel. Thank you.

16:42 Tips on mentorship and outreaches/asks #1 Put yourself in their shoes - what do they want? #2 Reach out on their least saturated channel (ex. mail, twitter, phone) #3 Solve a problem they're looking for + acknowledge they're busy/empathy + ask something that costs them very little + offer something in return (ex. publicity) SAMPLE MSG: 19:10

FOCUS!! This is what I'm struggling with massively! Spreading myself too thin on multiple projects.

''the imposter feeling is a sign of growth'' such an awesome and refreshing line for self encouragement!

Definitely going to listen to this again. Especially that there is a new journey / project that I am starting. Thank you for this, its just what I needed❤️

This podcast was just brilliant! Very inspiring! Thanks Steve you are a genius❤️

The value you bring is unquestionable 🙌✌️👏. Thank you so much.

This wa s great,I have been having an idea that's been bugging me for almost 3 years,the last 6 months of this year I'm giving it a chance by a total undisturbed focus.Thank you❤

This is great, but honestly it's all about how you handle yourself and how much confidence you can bring to the table, been able to answer tough questions, etc. A born leader is hard to come by

Thank God to find this type of podcast 🙏🏽 Thank you so much for doing your great job your podcast changed my life 👌🏾... Am from Ethiopia, in my country getting therapy is so tough to have your podcast is dream come true Thank you again 🙏🏽

This was 26:41 min of pure value. Thank you Steven!

Steven!!! You are a God send 😘🙌🏼I asked for a sign and your responses have just clarified it!! Thank you 🙏🏽

With the first lesson that you shared, the very same thing happened to me. I went to someone I consider an advisor of mine and I had a list of goals I wanted to achieve. He told me that I was scattered like a dog with dogmores and advised me to be a dog with a bone. A dog with dogmores has many nuggets or fragments of meat to get. It is all over the place. A dog with a bone has one thing to focus on. So, that's how he showed me the importance of focus.

Thank you Steve for this video and sharing your answers. It is much appreciated. I have enjoyed my morning coffee and leave with clarity I needed.

When I think back over my long career, I’ve always asked myself what got me up every morning? Why didn’t I get tired or blasé about being a dentist? Between Simon Sinek‘s “Find Your Why”, and Steve Bartlett‘s “Diary of a CEO”, all the answers are found in there. I was lucky I found what excited and fulfilled me on my first try. Now Steve Bartlett is my source of motivation to start a second career, but this time it’s not so easy, because it’s not falling into my lap. Great podcasts Steve. Thank you for being passionate and genuine. Seeing the actual person who’s asking the question made this concept more meaningful.

Just discovered this podcast, it's going to become my new thing to listen to when working from home.

Best 26 minutes advice of my life thankyou for this, so grateful 🙏 Saved this & intend to learn from it & pass on where I learnt it every opportunity I get 👏👏

I am on a journey and have found that I have so many ideas, I find it hard to just focus, but fully understand it's important to focus. Great video. 😉😉

How can I share this a million times? cause I so much love this podcast. The first answer honestly blew my mind. I'm 23, I just started my journey in content creation about a year ago and there's so much going on in my mind to give out but definitely, I'd focus on developing in one area. Thanks, a lot.

This is profound!!! I truly appreciate it! Thank you, Steven!

This was much needed. Appreciate you bro. Thank you 🙏🏾

Best podcast to listen to when our exercising. Your words and humble manner are inspiring

These are great Steven 👏👏 love your energy and drive. These videos have really helped me through a tough time and kept me motivated 🙏🙏

You have no idea how much this helped me. Thank you a lot.

23:02 if your business/project is getting getting 1% better every week, then thanks to compound interest you will be 100% better in 70 weeks, not after 100 weeks as you said. After 100 weeks of 1% improvement per week, you will actually have improved 170%, so that is very encouraging. This is the theme of the book Atomic Habits, which I think it is highly likely you have read. I enjoyed this video by the way!

Oh Wow, Steven, there was so much value in that. I am going to listen to it all again, and I'm going to ask my husband to listen too. Really enjoyed that. Thank you. I wish you great success.

Thank you honestly this is exactly what I needed at this point in my life.

Surprisingly, I've only just discovered you. It's nice to see another Black business man successful in the same business I'm in. I will use this as inspiration. Thanks Social Reach

Steve, loving your work! One for your "Someday* shelf - How about choosing someone to mentor, and recording the mentoring sessions? I think watching, and understanding the whole authentic process, would be an awesome addition to your channel. I realise your time is precious, and limited, hence "the shelf"! 🤔

You are so phenomenal. Thank you SO much for everything you do.

Some of the best and most concise advice I’ve ever heard. Thank you 🙏

Hi Steven, Daniella here, I’m so honoured and honestly quite starstruck that you answered my question in this video. It means so much to me especially as I have been such an avid listener to this podcast from the beginning…I actually still don’t believe it’s happened but I guess I’m still processing. Thank you so much for your advice Steven, I’m definitely going to take it and run with it because you have provided me and definitely a lot of other young people in similar positions with much needed clarity❤️ looking forward to next weeks episode!! (thank you again!!!!!)

Thank you, I really enjoyed this! I am 65 and have been self-employed as a consultant for 29 years. However, I am determmined to create a writing career - and it is hard going but I love it. It is a young person's world now, or so it seems, and here I am still striving in the year I officially become an OAP 😄 It's never too late, I suppose!

It will be really nice to see you interview women / men from an Asian background talk about their issues and problems, I’ve started doing this recently within my job role and it’s really opened up a conversation 🙂 ~ especially in relation to mental health and how our ethnic communities perceive it x

The "Some day" shelf: brilliant concept - very clearly explained! Love that one! 👍 ❤️😎

I loved how the questions were shown on this episode…by them sending a video. I especially adored the man who was forth coming by sharing his struggle with depression and anxiety. As well as asking how to find meaningful motivation. Brought tears to my eyes, touching. Btw Steven I noticed your growing your hair out a bit.. I like the widows peak.

Thank you for creating this stunning video. I try to help my little sister to get her first IT job. I always found fascinating how business advices also applies to job seeking. We often forget our job is our business, it just in a bit smaller scale.

The 12 week year is perfect for trying new things in a short amount of time while still giving it your all

Such high value content and great psychological insights, thank you.

I love the last guy and his question. I love that he said “I’ll get there”.❤

Love the imposter/zone of comfort analysis!!

Steve you're a Gem, thank you. We sincerely appreciate your words.💯

AWESOME! My question made it on delighted, and more importantly loved the answer! Cheers mate

Great video Steven! thanks for sharing your raw thoughts and advice.

You are a brilliant example for our young people.

My brother I just discovered your channel. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge. I now need to go back to episode 1 so I don’t miss out on anything.

Good afternoon Steven, I am new here and now have a KZfaq account which is good as it allows me to comment on content instead of just watching. I just had to comment on this video as I found it totally inspirational, thank you. I have been sitting on a wonderful business creation to fill a gap in an overcrowded and confused sector and to develop my format to maximise every opportunity in similar sectors. I got excited and somewhat emotional as your words of positivity particularly about being out of your comfort zone as a daily challenge! I am still unclear of the right way to go about launching my first venture as I will require a level of investment but with high returns potential plus... dare I say, an exit strategy, as I and others can see the value of the business in the future, as the portfolio of websites will appeal to the masses. Much appreciated and keep inspiring the entrepreneurs of the future. AC.

This advice could apply to a career change too so helpful for me self belief, focus and resilience 🤞thankyou 😊

I'm fighting against myself today... needed this. 💛

One of my favourite videos from Steven.

My weekend has been spent in continuous pain from an ear infection so unfortunately my usual Monday morning routine of a 6am walk with my dog whilst listening to this podcast has been disrupted. And to be totally honest, I feel a bit out of sync! Looking forward to listening to this at a later date Steve. Thank you for all your hard work.

Hi Steven. I enjoyed the new questions format today. Giving people the chance to speak to you directly will have been invaluable for them and I'm sure you will have got something valuable from it too. Went to the most amazing gig last night at Yeadon Town Hall Leeds and it made me think of your tour. If you do come to Leeds or York (even better) I will make you and your team home cooked food to welcome you to Yorkshire. 🙏

I love the format of this episode! 😊 Super dense information

I love the interpretation of the feelings of Imposter Syndrome. Very apt for me right now.
