  This guy is literally the reason I have a £200k turnover business, 8 years after I read Start With Why. I was stuck in terrible organisations obsessed with making money and lacking customer focus. My business is now successful because it's about why I do it, not about my bottom line. The success comes and the moral business stance is the reason. Thank you Simon.

  This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my YouTube channel 5 months ago about self development. Now I have 291 subs and almost > 100 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.

  Thank you, 30 mins in and you changed my life. I have been struggling with my purpose and my “why”. I contacted my friend, found my why, and was then hit with a huge wave of emotions. I was a babbling mess at the end. Thank you.

Simon Sinek envisions a world where people wake up inspired every day.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=125">02:05</a> 🌟 High performance is more about feeling in flow and having fun in what you do, where productivity and enjoyment collide.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=183">03:03</a> 🤝 Finding your &quot;why&quot; is crucial to high performance, as it provides a filter for decision-making and helps align your actions with your purpose.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=308">05:08</a> 🐉 Sometimes, to affect change, you have to enter the &quot;belly of the beast,&quot; engaging with organizations that may not align with your values to inspire transformation.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=376">06:16</a> 🧠 When delivering a message for change, starting with curiosity, showing genuine interest, and understanding the other person&apos;s perspective can be more effective than simply telling them what&apos;s wrong.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=568">09:28</a> 🗣️ When discovering your &quot;why,&quot; engage in the Friends Exercise: Ask a best friend what specifically about you makes them feel inspired and devoted to your friendship.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=843">14:03</a> 🌐 The power of &quot;why&quot; lies in communicating with the limbic part of the brain responsible for emotions and trust, rather than focusing solely on rational and tangible aspects.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=1027">17:07</a> 💬 The language you use when communicating your &quot;why&quot; matters. Focus on expressing your love for your work or organization, as love is an emotional connection that can resonate with others.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=1218">20:18</a> 💡 Sharing specific examples and stories that reflect your purpose can be more effective than using general statements to communicate your &quot;why.&quot;<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=1233">20:33</a> 🗝️ Discovering your purpose and doing what you love can lead to a fulfilling and magical work experience.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=1290">21:30</a> 🧲 Telling a specific story about what you love attracts like-minded people and repels those who don&apos;t resonate with your purpose.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=1471">24:31</a> 💡 Having an outsider&apos;s objectivity can help in discovering your purpose or &quot;why&quot; when you&apos;re struggling to find it yourself.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=1748">29:08</a> ❤️ Being courageous and vulnerable with friends can lead to stronger, supportive relationships and better problem-solving.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=2028">33:48</a> 🤝 Acknowledging that no one achieves success alone and seeking help from others is essential for growth and high performance.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=2137">35:37</a> 💡 Understanding your attributes and characteristics helps you create environments where you can thrive and achieve success.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=2372">39:32</a> 🔎 Being honest and self-aware about your strengths, weaknesses, and learning style can guide you in making choices that align with your true abilities and preferences.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=2470">41:10</a> 📚 Struggles faced as children can become strengths as adults. Simon Sinek&apos;s ADHD and reading difficulties in school led him to develop skills like asking questions, listening well, and connecting patterns, which benefited him later in life.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=2582">43:02</a> 🌟 Adversity and discomfort play a crucial role in personal growth. Avoiding struggles and over-coddling children may hinder their ability to learn and discover their true potential.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=2760">46:00</a> 👥 Good leaders outlive their own lives by inspiring people to believe in something bigger than themselves. Iconic leaders like Steve Jobs are remembered for their impact on people and their ability to challenge the status quo.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=2954">49:14</a> 🎭 Simon Sinek&apos;s approach to criticism and feedback involves discerning helpful insights from unconstructive negativity. He values the opinions of those he respects but doesn&apos;t let harsh criticism affect him negatively.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=3084">51:24</a> ✍️ Simon Sinek initially lacked confidence in his writing ability but overcame it by writing in a conversational style that he himself would enjoy reading, leading to the creation of impactful books.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=3432">57:12</a> 🧠 Simon Sinek&apos;s trusted editor, Jen Hellam, complements his skills with her meticulous attention to logical consistency in his writing, providing valuable feedback and enhancing the quality of his work.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=3610">01:00:10</a> 🌐 Achieving commercial success can lead to increased attention and scrutiny, but it&apos;s essential to remain grounded and not let praise or criticism define one&apos;s identity. Trusting the right people and avoiding self-absorption is crucial for sustained success.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=3679">01:01:19</a> 🏆 Success is often accompanied by perks and privileges, but they are usually for the position one holds, not the individual.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=3862">01:04:22</a> 🧭 Having a clear vision (knowing your &quot;why&quot;) and surrounding yourself with honest critics can help keep you grounded and focused.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=3934">01:05:34</a> 🌊 Pursuing a vision is like building an iceberg – most of it lies beneath the surface, and success requires continuous effort.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=3961">01:06:01</a> 💡 Leaders should strive to create a legacy beyond themselves, where their vision continues to thrive even if they are no longer around.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=4058">01:07:38</a> 🤝 Three non-negotiable behaviors for individuals and those around them: integrity, honor (doing right by others), and the willingness to improve oneself.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=4099">01:08:19</a> 🤝 Honor involves not taking advantage of others&apos; vulnerabilities for personal gain and doing right by people even in difficult times.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=4226">01:10:26</a> 🤝 Valuable advice: &quot;Get over yourself&quot; – avoid self-centeredness and entitlement, and remember that you don&apos;t have to know all the answers.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=4282">01:11:22</a> 🤝 &quot;Three quarters of an answer is better than an answer and a half&quot; – provide helpful insights even if you can&apos;t provide a complete solution.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=4353">01:12:33</a> 🌟 To discover your &quot;why,&quot; consider trying the &quot;friends exercise,&quot; or use resources like Simon Sinek&apos;s book &quot;Find Your Why&quot; to explore your purpose.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ5NaZ2Ucdo&amp;t=4380">01:13:00</a> 🌟 Live a high-performance life with a golden rule: Strive for the benefit of others, not just personal success.<br><br>Made with HARPA AI

  As long as people like Simon exist, indeed there is still hope for a better day tomorrow than it was yesterday. And as long as there are channels who&apos;s main aim is to find and sort of &quot;expose&quot; these people for the lessons they have to teach the common folk, then we are good. Very refreshing and very satisfying seeing content like this is regularly being uploaded in an era where tik tok, youtube shorts and insta reels are all created to keep us hooked in a screen, scrolling aimlessly just for another slight dose of unawarding and money grabbing dopamine.<br>Keep ul the amazing work guys. All three of you.

  Evidently, a lot is put into consideration when making investments which is why the importance of an advisor is key. Mr. David Samuel Rochon has been my secret weapon for making incredible profits in the stock market. I recommend his services to beginners and others looking to make gains.
