LOVE what you do, so that one day you’ll get to do what you LOVE...
A reminder for us solopreneurs:
You have to do stuff you don't naturally love… until you have enough money to do only what you love.
Building a business as a solopreneur involves a huge variety of tasks and projects, most of which you wouldn’t naturally have thought - “This was what I was looking forward to doing, day to day, with an authentic business!”
The stronger your passion and vision for what should be your ideal work, the stronger you’ll feel the gap. The destination seems so far from where you are now.
The sane solution? You'll have to practice loving what you “have to” do now, to make money, so you can - one day in future - make money doing only what you love.

Get More Visibility For Your Content with These 7 Authentic Methods
The most clear and understandаble explanation I have ever got! Thank you so very much!
OK unlisted video are initially limited to whoever I provide the link to, but can the recipients of that link then share it with other people?
Yes whoever has the link can then share it forward. If you want, there's a setting above unlisted called Private where you can put in their email address (associated with their UA-cam account).
I have a playlist that I use for blind tests, it would have been helpful to know which videos got deleted/privated/copyright striked so I could replace them. Also, a video that got copyright striked still shows the miniature and title so in a big playlist it's unfindable
Brigitte is so kind and lovely! :)
Big G! Keen for this vid!
Great video! I've noticed in my field the bias present with some of the AIs -- chat GPT for sure. It seems to have taken on a slightly Avoidant attachment style from its human programmers, I can only guess.
Spot on, George! Solopreneuship comes from the heart. When I'm "off," I know that's where I need to go!
Spot on, thanks for spreading this message George 🙂
Yes! Loving whatever I do is the secret to enjoyment AND better results. ❤ Enjoyment is always available because it doesn't come from what we do; it's what we ARE without any thought to the contrary.
Thanks
Thanks. That's so helpful!
you are legend
Why wouldn't a video by MIT graduate go viral. I wonder if you have done a research on the producer.
George. You may not be Ryan Reynolds, but dude you rate a 9 on the 'good heart/making the world a better place' scale. YT needs more miners of the unique and worthy.
All power to the 'low effort' videos George. Keepin it real.
I saw quite a few comments with Christianity references. So maybe an older, very US centric (because of your high level of Christianity), empathetic audience? Be nice if it is possible to get a demographic breakdown of audience. The 'quitting' story is the powerful one, and resonates with probably most of us (who doesn't want to quite their day job?). The sincerity creeps through, although he is obviously neurodivergent. The male loner in wilderness would have attracted another audience segment. I am on the hunt for authentic narratives, and getting away from steriod and boxtox infused influencers or videos polished to the nanometer scale. But while I had a very positive response to this video, I could not watch much of it at all.
It was jaw-dropping. the content was jaw-dropping and I still cannot wrap my head around it because we all want to just be off worrk so bad and just be a good mom and be there for important events but we cannot because we have to still keep working or where are we going to live with our kids. Yes, we are all so envious and we are all so shocked. Contrast this with PBS American FAmilies over 30 years--two families that lost their well paying factory jogs when the plant went out of business. they did not have an education--struggled endlessly and worried about their kids living in poor neighborhoods with gangs. they kept working, working working at low paying jobs without benefits--one lost their house. I still am in shock from both programs. He could find a rewarding career in something like public health and, indeed, help may folks but i think there is more to his story. I feel like he is carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. Also, I want to go hiking in some of those beautiful areas. I am still in shock.
This video went viral because it was unedited, raw, as real as it can get. The majority of videos on youtube are hyper edited, filtered, with the goal of attracting as many views as possible. Dr Goobies video had no intention to go viral but it did because so many people can relate to his situation. Feeling empty at work doing jobs that don't serve out highest purpose is a major problem humanity is facing at work. The difference between him and us is that Dr Goobie had the balls to quit. Unlike the majority of us who continue to work our unfullfilling jobs even though we want to quit. HE also shares some very disturbing inconvinient observations about the medical profession that has the potential to harm the established order of the medical field. Very courageous for Dr Goobie to share his observations and his life so openly.
Guts, yes, probably. But he would have the luxury of presumably a huge amount of savings/investments from neurosurgery, maybe more than most people might save in their entire lives.
Im so excited!!!🎉🎉🎉
This is a genuine person with a heart ❤️
Thank you, George, for the question about paying moms :).
Inspiring. Thank you. It’s like we say in Dutch: “There’s always a boss above a boss”. Now it feels like nothing, having 9 kids/homeschooling 6 at home and being in first stages of going online with books and coaching 😂😂😂. Wow, well done Rachel. And George, this was a very good interview of you: interesting, authentic and relaxed.
Brian D. Smith really sounds like he knows his stuff. Getting over grief can be so hard for some folks, great interview guys.
Very interesting Geo, you bring such insight. I'll definitely have to soak up this game. Peace
This looks like it is no longer true...? Tried it and just brought me to my profiule page
Hi George, I would love to sign up! I’m I. Lisbon Portugal. Will you have daily and weekly sessions in my time zone - during daytime hours for me? Thank you so much
Thanks for asking! Yes the daily sessions are at 4pm Lisbon time. Also, there's a weekly Saturday work retreat that starts at 4pm Lisbon as well, so maybe you can attend those for the first hour or so, up to you.
I agree completely with Dr. Goobie. The "healthcare" system has become a death trap for both patients and providers alike. I am a Nurse Practitioner. Worked in "healthcare" since 2008. I have taken care of patients from the White House to top Generals of our nation at Walter Reed. I've worked in Primary Care, Psychiatry, and Neurology and it's all the same every where I go. I had to leave because you cannot be ethical or moral in our system today. Only GOD can heal us. This is happening for a reason, but we all have a choice. I choose to tell the truth. "He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions." Psalm 107:20
Thanks!
Thank you George for the wonderful conversation opportunity, I enjoy working with you as always!
The video may have been “boring” in our hyper-stimulated society, I thought it a much needed antidote to the depression/anxiety/stress most of Americans feel. We are a people feeling empty and tapped out pouring ourselves into an ideal of what we think makes us happy. Doobie is a heroic voice because he reached the ideal of “success” to say this all feels wrong.
Constantly comparing Asian to other minorities got old quick in this video. ASIA is a big continent plenty of medical opportunities especially for American Asian therefore Asian actually have way more opportunities. I watched the video and it was a great video. Coming from a medical man myself
Thank you for this helpful information. I love the reminder to keep content separate from selling, and that energy signature is the thread that connects.
Thank you - very helpful
Love this message, George! As one of my teachers says, you have to go out into the world with your fists full of wild flower seeds 🌼🌷🏵️
I watched the whole thing because Dr. Goobie is real and authentic. I’m so happy for people who break free and are doing what they love and who want to really help people. I’ve been an RN for almost 30 years (not a neurosurgeon) but I can relate. He speaks the truth regarding the health care system. IMO
It’s fun to revisit this topic overtime. One thing that comes to mind is that it is definitely hard to operate multiple channels. This idea from George helps remove the need to slice and dice yourself all over the Internet.
Another one from him that is unbelievably viral -- and boring -- compared to most YT vids! Here it is-- ua-cam.com/video/27_EQbVnhiE/v-deo.html
How did you get into my thinking today, George. This was today’s rumination.
Great analysis. I enjoyed listening
Recently discovered your prolific work and service and had to let you know that this video was very helpful to me... thank you for creating it, I can feel the honesty and intention of your service! I run what I call a 'creative research studio' and in the way that I understand the three phases that you shared, it's creative research in action! I wanted to share how I made sense of your framework: Phase 1 of exploration/play is where we get to listen to our own inner stirring (listening to my creative desire and pure expression), Phase 2 is the zone of iteration based on what resonated (this is all about service and responding to need-more outer oriented), and then I'm thinking of Phase 3 of Promote as a the sacred synthesis of the process, where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. That's my takeaway anyway :) Thank you again!
YES! Beautiful synthesis and expression. Thank you.
Great points. Here are mine to add: 1) His title creates a ton of curiosity 2) In the intro, he keeps building this curiosity loop ("I did it for 20 years, then I quit, and nobody could understand", etc.) - he intentionally or unintentionally sucks you in with dramatism. 3) The mountain and sound of water stream are not to be underestimated. We are hard-wired to stare at beautiful scenes. It's literally linked to our survival. 4) At the 1:33 minute mark he's saying he's "still trying to sort out his thoughts". People LOVE that stuff. From my experience, when I share in real time what I'm going through and how I'm figuring out in my own life, people pay attention. This means his video's intro has more retention than average, which means the algorithm 100% gave it a push. I didn't even get to the 2 minute mark on his video, so this is what I have for now. IF I do watch the whole thing (I doubt it, but heck, maybe I will as a case study 😅) I will come back and add my thoughts.
Thank you for this! Very good observations. About the natural scenery -- since that's what his channel is mostly about, it is on brand. I've experimented with pretty backgrounds for my videos, and although maybe it pleases the eye, I wonder if it takes away from the potency of my message and/or attracts some of the less-right-fit crowd.
@@GeorgeKaoCommunity You're absolutely right. Although it would be great for views, it's not necessarily the best approach to attract the right people. Great breakdown, George!
Brilliant video, George. My friend and I were just talking about it the other day, he was trying to convince me to tell more stories because my life is full of them. I've been feeling resistance to it though. BTW I've seen that guy's video on the feed multiple times and never felt tempted to click. YOU made me curious!
This doesn't Work. Is there a new way to turn it off in a group
I just went to the setting in one of the groups I admin, and indeed the setting is still there -- to allow turning OFF anonymous posting by members.
This was great!
Thank you for having me on your show. You are an amazing and wonderful friend and I'm so grateful to share insights with you. ~Rachel
hi, is there a way to delete the video once uploaded?
Yes go to edit mode, then click the 3 dots and there's a delete option.
I agreed with Dr Goobie and Doobie
God bless you because I was about to have an meltdown trying to figure this out
