I’m 23, from Romania — a place where most people either play it safe or get ahead through shady shortcuts. Growing up, starting a business felt like a distant dream, especially if you wanted to do things the right way. But Simon, your videos flipped a switch in me. I moved to the UK, studied computer science and cancer genomics, and now I’m building a health tech startup focused on cancer care. It’s risky, it’s hard — but it finally feels right. Thanks for pushing people like me to believe that doing good and building big can go hand in hand.

A job honestly doesn’t gives you the time, space and opportunity to chase your dreams and achieve your goals. From personal experience i can tell you working a serious job is modern day slavery. they pay you a small amount for doing a significant amount of work and promises you promotion. Best advice make investments and take calculated risks that would guarantee your success.

Here's is:<br><br>1. Set the Goal: Define a financial target for freedom.<br>2. Choose Your Adventure: Determine if a career, side hustle, or entrepreneurship suits you.<br>3. Get Started: Take action even without complete certainty.<br>4. Master Your Time: Effective time management is crucial for consistency.<br>5. Take Consistent Action: Accountability and community support help maintain progress.<br>6. Get Clarity on Who You Serve: Identify your target audience.<br>7. Monetize: Validate demand before building a product.<br>8. Scale: Decide whether to grow a business for more freedom or keep it as a lifestyle business.<br><br>Ali highlights the importance of finding fun and fulfillment in work, not just financial success. The key is balancing financial goals with personal satisfaction and freedom.

My brother owns his own business and once told me, "I work 80 hours a week so I don't have to work 40 hours a week for "the man"." - He enjoys what he does, so that makes a difference.

I’ve watched videos like this for years, always waiting for the “right time” to start. Then I realized: the first step matters more than perfection. I just launched my channel to finally take action on my goals—and it’s changing me already.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_of876Yi6V4&t=1430">23:50</a> answering the question is : fear of failure. I once saw a podcast that really explained it well. You pay the intro fee, your mind says you can do it. When time passes your mind / trauma’s take over and tell you you can’t do it. So it is better to not send the video than to get a bad voice memo back with negative advice / your mentor who says you can do better / or people who laugh at you when you post it. Typical fear of failure or worried about getting bad advice back. We all protect ourself. And we think it is better to not send it so that protect us from maybeeeeee a negative memo. When we all know a mentor will not break you but help you 😅 mindgames
