You have to start now, with what you have!!
Mr. speaker, follow your own advice and avoid trying to speak like Schwarzenegger.
Other than that, good speech.
Arnold Schwarzenegger might come to know the secret after this talk
Thanks bro
Have watched this multiple times on different occasions and yet can never internalize the idea being presented.
Thus video was three years ago and still much needed information. I have been working through my procrastination. I've started writing again and as soon as I did, my ideas didn't fit in with the previous ideas. I started another project and from the looks of it, I believe it could be a real breakthrough for me and my family. I'm staying optimistic. I am scared though. Thanks for this video.
i have ADHD and it ruin everything i start so i stopped starting anything
I'm trying to write a paper for coursework and he says to be original and innovative, god damnit that's exactly why I'm watching this video because I don't have anything original to write about.
I agree with the uniqueness… but stating cal newport: Just following your passion is dangerous.
Create first something the world needs instead of just being unique… what do you think?
Although I appreciate the anecdote in this video, it didn't provide almost no value when it comes to tackling fear. I know it already that if I do x I might get y but to say just start is really bad advice. I am not suggesting you need a miracle to put action because as a matter of fact we all start but we hit a plateau very quickly and there when doubts sets in and we find ourselves slowly putting the work off for hours to days and months.
Can we talk about how amazing his impression of the agent and Arnold were?
Great content on getting over your fears
Just what I needed!
Thank you Mark, what an inspiring talk. I've always got "what do i know?" and the Imposter voice in my head.
The world has continually rejected me and left me feeling crestfallen and disillusioned.
I want to ask a question. I have been thinking about writing a fiction for quite a long time. But I fear that my vocabulary isnt good enough.And I am not good enough in structuring great sentences. So should I just start right now with what I know or start reading books to make myself better?
That impression tho…
bad talk
I am always afraid of doing new things
This video gave me some new perspective. Much Love!
i want to be a freelance photographer for newspaper articles but im scared to call them and ask what i would need or how we can work together.
I'm a perfectionist and terrified of starting things then I feel worse when 6 months or a year or 2 years pass and I did nothing
Very Informative and encouraging. Thanks so much
Yes this happens with me ..simple solution …thanks
