The wisest thing that should be on everyone's mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on government paycheck. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world , this is still a time to invest in Stocks, Forex and Digital currencies

Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others.. As an investor, you should've known by now nothing beats experience and that's final. Personally i had to reach out to a financial adviso (Ava Brenda Harry) for guidance which is how i was able to grow my losing account back to $150, 000 withdraw my profile right before the corrections and now I'm buying again.

This is something i want to do! How did you start? if you dont mind

The 51% rule is exactly what I needed to hear. I try my hardest to be 90+ percent sure and it’s making me spend way too much time on analysis and less time on activity. I spend more time thinking about all the ways it’s not going to happen rather than thinking about all the ways it IS going to happen. Thank you Mel!

Every time I watch your podcasts, I get incredibly juicy nuggets of wisdom. This one with Stephen Bartlett was so inspiring. Hard to believe how much wisdom spewed out of such a young man but old soul. I love the 51% rule. As always, lots of note taking in my journal. Love you Mel!!!

I wanted to be a teacher but I stuck with business, not because I was too afraid to change professions but because I couldn't support myself enough on a teachers salary. But I loooove to learn and I love to teach.... so I worked for a long time in a lot of different roles but now I'm a professional trainer for the company I work for so I teach AND make enough to support my family on much more comfortably.

I think you just proved there are so many types of teachers, and that is not just limited to being in a classroom. Congrats on finding a way to do what you love!

The 51% rule sounds like the perfect antidote to overthinking paralysis! I'm all in for making decisions with just enough certainty to get started.

I was on a walk with my dog and thought about calling a family member I’ve been putting off and putting off. We have an unfortunately very divided family. Due to past trauma. I get it. I miss this person more than anything and worry about being denied. Anyway, thanks to your video that talks about overthinking which was exactly what I was doing, and putting it off. I did it! I called him!!! It went wonderfully. Of course there was this elephant in the room, but I wanted to talk and catch up. I got off the phone thinking “I loved that” it was therapeutic. Long story short, thank you for this video ❤ it was exactly what I needed!

I haven't even finished watching the video and am blown away by the wisdom of Steven Bartlett. I have been questioning for the last few years about what society says about women over 60 and finding it mostly false. I am embracing my beauty and wisdom. I am also accepting people to express themselves the way they are most comfortable at. I am looking for more fun, experiences, joy, happiness, peace and success at this time in my life than ever before!

Two of my fav interviewers - can’t get enough of your sit downs

The vulnerability of steve is beautiful n makes him so relatable. Got lots of action points from this interviews, its life changing 🙌

This is one of my favorite podcasts that you have done😊

MELLLLLLLL!!!! Oh my gosh- this video finally showed me, at FIFTY ONE that my whole career has been chasing jobs/titled that my peers and loved ones thought were "worthy of your intellect."

Key takeaways are: 1. **Background and Resilience**: Stephen Bartlett's journey from poverty and adversity, including racial challenges and personal struggles, to recognizing his potential, underscores the importance of resilience and the impact of supportive figures in overcoming difficult circumstances. 2. **Decision-Making's Role**: The emphasis on decision-making highlights its fundamental role in shaping our lives. The concept that we make numerous decisions daily, which can have far-reaching consequences, underlines the importance of improving decision-making skills for a better life. 3. **Overcoming Perfectionism**: The 51% Rule is presented as a practical strategy to combat perfectionism and self-doubt by encouraging action over prolonged deliberation, emphasizing that the act of deciding is often more critical than the decision itself. 4. **First Principles Thinking**: Distinguishing between fast and slow decisions and advocating for first principles thinking illustrates a methodical approach to problem-solving by breaking down complex issues into basic elements, facilitating better decision-making. 5. **Intuition and Risk-Taking**: Bartlett's reliance on intuition and his stance on the necessity of taking risks to overcome self-imposed limitations highlight the importance of trusting one's instincts and the potential regrets associated with inaction or complacency. 6. **Personal Growth through Teaching**: The Fryman technique and the practice of sharing daily reflections on social media are suggested as tools for personal growth and self-awareness, emphasizing the value of introspection and the educational power of teaching. 7. **Setting Boundaries and Learning from Mistakes**: The discussion on setting boundaries, especially with family, and the value of learning from mistakes points to the importance of personal responsibility and the sometimes tough love required for true personal development and success.

In Australia there is an old saying “ Have a go you mug”. Or “nothing ventured nothing gained”. This podcast was great - thank you.

I love the interview. Dont love the frequency of Ads though. 🤔🧐

We are watching and listening to two great gurus doing what they are good at.

Mel! Mel! Mel! YOU MOVE ME! I decided today, in this moment, that I'm going to stand out to you. I am going to comment in some *specifical* (my own made up word that totally sounds legit) way, every single time I finish watching an episode, something that I take away from it. The doors you can't walk back thru.. Holy. Holy. My deepest inner self thanks you & your incredible guest, for convincing me into taking action at 51% belief... BOOM!

The insights from Steven Bartlett on decision-making are pure gold for any entrepreneur. For those looking to apply this, remember that Type 1 decisions are reversible and should be made quickly to maintain momentum, while Type 2 decisions are high-stakes and require more deliberation. It's a game-changer to classify your decisions and approach them with the appropriate urgency and caution.

I am right now in a phase of my life, in which I have to make, perhaps, my biggest decision... And just today, I'm already listening to your talk. It was exactly what I needed to hear, the help I needed and the stabilization of my thoughts and fears. As you said before, random things don't happen to us in life. :) Thank you so much for your impeccable support, the confidence you give us, and the help to navigate our inner selves. Best regards!

The 51% Rule!!! Mel and Steven, Omgoodness, I’m learning this principle at almost age 50… I’ve always waited, more like procrastinated on making any decision until I was like 90-100%, and I’ve wasted so much of my life living in indecisiveness. 🤯 This was an amazing podcast that will be a catalyst to turning my life around and moving me forward. We’re only 1 decision away from the best life possible!! Take action, as that first step will lead you to the next step and beyond!! Thank you!! ❤

Truthfully these are two of my faves teachers of how to build a great life. Steve and Mel I am so grateful to continue to learn with you both on eachs’ podcast 🤩🙋🏻‍♀️

God she’s so good in getting him to talk and be comfortable being vulnerable

The excitement I felt when I saw the video thumbnail!

This was incredible. So many good takeaways. Thank you Mel and Steven!!❤

Mel - you are just killing this podcast thing lately!! :) THANK YOU SO MUCH, I CAN'T GET ENOUGH!!!

I watch Stevens podcast without knowing his story. He serms so normal whilst being exceptional. I resonate with the trial & error approach.

Also see you both interview each other. In combination you"re quite the influence on me. I starred the podcast KZread without knowing how.

Through these 2 amazing people, I changed and realised soo many things. I never understood, why people accept "the simple answer" I always question everything and do it my way. I always thought, I'm sooo different but special. I still think I'm way ahead of everyone around me. So hearing all these hours of podcasts shaped me. Teached me acceptance and I will always and forever be thankful. Also, totally random, while Mel says "where other people fire up a blunt..." I realized how Stevens big toe is hugging the chair legs. Maybe cause in that moment I lighted my good night blunt. 🤭🤭🤭❤

Love Steven, and listen to him every morning!

Thanks!

I've been a fan of Steven's for a while. Brilliant young man. Thanks for this episode, Mel. Excellent.

Mel, I'm 55 as well and you are so relatable. I feel that I am actually channelling your spirit/voice and Steve's when I'm teaching....! You both share your vulnerabilities (being human) and your hacks to overcome them. Mel, I swear, when my alarm goes off at 5am, I hear your voice- no kidding. Steve, your sharp focus and drive, motivate and inspire me, as well. Thank you to both of you. Great partnership! Windsor, Ontario, Canada

Hi, Mell. I’m also 31 y/o. I have found confirmation through him that I am doing the right thing. I feel I am radical when I make my decisions. I do things in a non-conventional way, and sometimes I wonder if I'm doing the right thing, but so far it is working amazingly and living an amazing reality. I see others living by the “book” that aren't living as happy or as successful. It's comforting to get some sort of confirmation that I am doing the right thing through this interview.

🤯 The risk is not in taking the step but in staying exactly where you are. What a mind shift!! We are taught standing still is a good thing because we are safe but really we are more at risk for additional bad choices. First podcast I’ve listened to and LOVED it. Thank you Mel and Steven.

Steven just describing himself as an avoidant attacher. Quickly to leave situations that do not serve him and feeling proud of having done all 'on his own', afraid of shame and rejection.

28:15 in. Thank you.

Hey Mel I LOVE your podcasts but recently the last couple of podcasts have been very low volume. I've had to turn my volume all the way up to hear it but then when the commercials come on it blasts my ears out. I don't know why.

Wow, you have Nigerian roots! That's truly amazing. I'm not sure why, but this revelation brings me such joy on a day that's been rather challenging. It's incredibly inspiring to see how successful you've become, especially knowing the struggles you've had to overcome. Your journey is a testament to resilience and determination. Keep shining!

This is my favorite podcast you’ve done, Mel. The mutual respect and trust between you and Steven created beautiful freedom of heart, dialogue. Thank you.

This podcast was so inspiring! Stephen is so focused and passionate about his approach.

I love Steve and this was an amazing interview. My quick takeaways to put to use are: question everything, choose quickly, start your business on Instagram. And of course, which I agree 100%, don’t freaking write a business plan. Just take the first step and then another every day. This was a very fun and educational podcast. By the way, I subscribed. Thanks. PS I’m going to summarize my days and release my findings to the world on a new Instagram/Twitter account.

Amazing. This is exactly what I’ve been learning about and the law of attraction is in action! Thanks for delivering this interview right now.

Wowww!! 2 of my favorite personal growth leaders (and their podcasts) TOGETHER! What a way to start my morning. Mel , thank you for challenging Steven with your always relevant questions and, Steven, you are just inspiring. Going through a major time of change in my midlife and the revelations in your talk truly gave me a kick in the backside where I’ve turned some Type 1 decisions into Type 2s and set my mind to them already. I feel big changes coming ! Thank you thank you

Right 🤩 they are both super awesome and have such an amazing influence in the community of growth in one’s life

Wonderful listen. I would say that editing a talk feels a bit against the point of this format. Would love if you released the full length version and a edited down version.

I'm 27 going back. to college now after being in a trade I worked for years to come to realize i was miserable. It's ironic because I know I have alot of intelligence and potential but I'm so quick to doubt myself and to let fear dictate what I do and what I don't. I am learning and trying to be conscience to unlearn that non sense and rembering my capabilites. I pray in God that he guides me down me down a fulfilling and happy path. God bless guys.

Steven is so open and confident, and the fact that he is filming without shoes shows how trustworthy he is❤

This has been the best most informative conversation I’ve heard in a long time. Thank you to you both.

Great podcast. Steven has such an admirable concept of his own mortality and really uses his gut and intuition to chase a life that brings him the most joy and fulfillment. Everyday I am trying more and more to live that way. What a zest for life!

Wow! Amazing interview! There's so much information, I look forward to re-listening to it so that I could get the most out of it! As someone who's tried and failed at multiple careers, I'm inspired to try and fail (again!) because all failure is something I could learn from. I think that most people (especially myself) get stuck in analysis paralysis and that stops them from making a decision. And when we rely on conventional knowledge (rather than our inner knowing), we get stuck in thinking that it's better off being a banker than exploring what it would be like to work with kids.

Unlocked my challenges in decision making. Iam a procrastinator.

I was riveted by the Steven's story. Thanks for the share. From the depths comes strength. Mel, I made a 51% decision right after New Year's. Best decision of my life. Loved this interview. Not just the accent but the fortitude. Oh one last thing. Mel, gotta say...Love the love at the end of the show...makes me feel #hugged.

This episode is a WOW! My favourite 2 podcasters creatively using Steve's set (Mel in Steve's chair) and Mel recapping the main ideas. I literally got out my phone and started a daily recap on my phone because of Steve's story about sharing his day's learning with the world. Not wasting TIME was a huge take away. As a teacher here in Canada, with lots of options in my life, I truly got a lot out of the decision making ideas from these two world class podcasters ('podcasters' doesn't feel good enough of a title here). What a great partnership, Mel and Steve!

I have been waiting for this. Thank you Huge inspiration ❤

Lov you, Mel❤

The amazing Steven Bartlett!!❤️

This episode sucked me in...like a tractor beam. It took me back to my childhood. It also has me looking inward regarding the present (personal life and business). Loved the boardroom story (father and son). I can see that I'm currently limited by type 2 decisions (fail forward). It's cruel to not have boundaries. Eye-opening... Thanks Mel! Thanks Steven! What a great contribution to the platform. Time to get off of YT, and go implement this stuff. Wishing you both all the best. -Robert

I like the steps to heightening self-awareness. What Steven suggests aligns well with adult learning best practices. I can relate to what he described about being able to see new patterns after reflecting in this way day after day.

This was one of your BEST podcasts, and you have always set a very high bar! 😊 I particularly loved the discussion about type 1 and type 2 decisions. Never really thought of it that way, and the 51% threshold for making a decision--Incredible advice for the many of us who are stuck in the mud and afraid to move forward. Thanks again, and what a wonderful guest!

This was a fantastic interview. SO much useful information. I didn't want it to end. THANK YOU BOTH!

This gave me soooo much! Especially the different perspectives on how I truly can choose how I look at everything! All my decisions! And to really question everything and DO experiments! ❤❤❤ ...also, you mentioned you never know what to do/say when someone compliments you during their interview...how about what you did plus, "I receive that." It's some reason hard for us women to open our hearts to truly receive. And you deserve the same love you give out Mel!!! 😘

My 2 favourite people in the world, the most inspirational individuals alive (to me) such a treat! Thanks Mel!

This is probably one of my favorite episodes! Thank you Mel! ❤

So happy to see my two favorite speakers together! Thank you 🙏🏾 Greetings from Trinidad and Tobago

This! This has to be one of my favorites. So much gold! Thank you, Steven. Thank you, Mel.

This show was amazing. I felt like I’m coming out of a wisdom masterclass. I’ve watched Steven interview great people but seeing him interviewed is one of the best things! Learnt a lot in this 60 mins!! A Mel Robbins podcast was a thing on my podcast list for long and I’m happy it started off great! Thank you Mel for doing this. Few things were very relatable. Especially loved the type 1 and type 2 decisions of which majority is type 2 and from now on whenever I’m going to have to decide anything I’m not going to sit and let it brew rather go for it real quick despite the result. The best thing that happened today. Thank you to both of you.

Wow! I couldn’t wait to hear this episode, I listen to both of your podcasts daily. What a treat to have the both of you together! Thank you for your wisdom. ❤

Just great… Incredible…learning every day a bit more Thank you Mel…. Although I listen till the end …I went back and listen again

So much respect for both of these people. 🙂

Thanks so MUCH for this Mel and Steven. I follow the both of you on KZread and LOVE your work!

Thank you for asking every question I would have wanted to ask Steven!

Such an amazing episode! Stunning and life altering! Thank you, Mel!

I love Steven's podcast. Not only is he a motivator of big things, people open up to him like they would a therapist or friend they've known for years. This looked like a fantastic conversation among friends for both of you.

Very nice to see Steven interviewed and not interviewing. Hes so honest and clear. Brilliant.

My two favourites together again. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Always learning so much from each of you, and so often the topics discussed are so relevant. ❤️❤️

I love Mel's auditory bookmarks, but in this interview, they were not helpful reframes. What Stephen said throughout this was perfectly straightforward and Mel would often create a parallel example that essentially just repeated what he said. Stephen sounded and appeared a little thrown off by it, but that's just my observation; there seemed to be a train of thought that was constantly being interrupted.
