I help ambitious people build a life and a skillset that actually pays them back.

I'm Nick Daniels: teacher turned marketer turned founder. Eight years teaching in Vietnam, more failed side hustles than I can count, and one business built from scratch in South Africa. This channel documents that process in real time, not the highlight reel version.

Every week: frameworks nobody taught you in school, how to design a life on purpose instead of by default, and the actual skills I'm using to build Parallax, shown as I use them, not after the fact.

You don't start over. You start from here.

Limiting beliefs are the things that hold us back the most. ๐Ÿšซ๐Ÿ’ญ What we tell ourselves in our heads on a daily basis is ultimately what we believe.

I posted the #Limitless ๐ŸŒŸ about a week ago which is a great framework that can be implemented to challenge these beliefs.

If there is an area of your life you'd like to improve, ask yourself this question โ“ and spend some time thinking about how you can develop a plan to work on that area. #SelfImprovement #BelieveInYourself #PositiveMindset #PersonalGrowth

I got this in a newsletter from @jamesclear the author of @atomichabitsjamesclear and it really hit home. ๐Ÿ’ฏ

For a large part of my life I always thought about the future but my decisions in the present never aligned with my plan. I found dicipline was a key trait I needed to learn and it is slowly developing as I get older. ๐Ÿ‘

Try asking yourself this question every morning when you get out of bed and see if you decisions align with where you want to be in 5 years.๐Ÿค”

The way we talk to others often reflects the way we talk to ourselves. If we are critical and judgmental towards others, we are likely to be critical and judgmental towards ourselves as well. Similarly, if we are kind and compassionate towards others, we are more likely to extend that kindness and compassion towards ourselves. Our internal and external dialogue are interconnected and can influence each other significantly.

Be mindful the next time you are talking to your colleagues, friends and family as it is a reflection of your own self-talk.

Never forget the difficult times you went through in life. These ultimately shaped you into who you are today. ๐Ÿ‘

Life is full of ups and downs but ultimately you are in control of how you react and the decisions you make. I've had a week that I am not happy with but it's important to realize that this is part of life and it happens.๐Ÿ™„

This question resonated with me as my mindset is shifting from short term gratification to what I want my life to look like in the long term. ๐Ÿคจ

Your small habits today will impact your life in the future! ๐Ÿ’ฏ
