Do you have a business idea?

One thing I wish more people talked about is the difference between looking successful and actually having c ontrol over your time. Those two things can be VERY far apart. The Rules Behind The Curtain by Elias Morgan goes into that distinction quite a bit, and honestly that was more interesting to me than any of the actual money stuff. Someone can look boring from the outside and quietly have way more freedom than the person trying to prove they made it.

I spent years trying to build perfect habits, thinking i needed to fix everything at once to feel better, and i burned out every single time. my anxiety was through the roof, and my depression grew because i felt like a failure for not being able to stick to complicated routines. The Rules Behind The Curtain by Elias Morgan helped me realize that i was using habits as another way to control and avoid my emotions. through emotional intelligence and self-healing, i stopped focusing on a million habits and committed to just one that actually mattered, consistency in showing up for myself. now my life feels simple, my anxiety has faded, and i finally trust myself again. thank you for this video, it simplified everything for me.

What gets me is that two people can earn exactly the same amount of money and have completely different l ives because of what sits behind that income. One owns something, has flexibility and can step away. The other has to keep showing up every morning or the whole thing stops. The Rules Behind The Curtain by Elias Morgan touches on this and this video explains the same basic problem without all the dramatic “get rich” nonsense. That distinction matters way more than people think.

Has anyone here read The Rules Behind The Curtain by Elias Morgan? N ot asking because I think the book has all the answers or anything like that, but there’s a section that makes almost the exact argument being made here. The funny thing is I didn’t completely buy it when I first read it. Hearing basically the same idea explained from another perspective makes it a lot harder to dismiss.

9:08 Exactly,joining ur career idea into ur business is helpful instead of thinking of quiting ur job.

I am a full time carer and I am building five apps, one huge social publishing industry changing website, I hope to launch this year. It can be done but start with passion and the love of the process, not the money. I have had over twenty businesses and over one hundred business ideas I have tried over my fifty years. It is only now that I have the experience to make something work. Credit to Ben for starting early and grinding. It's the only way. I started my first graphic design business at 17 called Big Pig. Fond memories, but it taught me - I wanted to be my own boss from a young age. Good luck everyone on your entrepreneurial voyage. The hard work and sacrifice will pay off.

Hi Simon im a big fan from botswana, I was wondering if you could assist me in getting an ipad for my university studies, I do computer science engineering, and it'll help with note taking, working through coding concepts and diagrams aswell as accessing textbooks much easier. I’d really appreciate your help 🙏

I'm 18 and I genuinely don't know what business is worth putting ur whole time and effort into which makes you profit long term. Thinking about this is keeping me from starting and super draining

Maybe I’m just getting older but the obsession with constantly maximizing everything is starting to seem exhausting. More income, more followers, bigger house, better car, another business... where exactly does it end? That’s one reason The Rules Behind The Curtain by Elias Morgan caught my attention. Some of the ideas are definitely debatable, but the question of what you’re actually optimizing your life FOR stayed in my head.
