Many people feel stuck because they are confused. The speaker says confusion happens when you do not know what you want. If you do not know the goal, you cannot choose the right action. He explains “flow” as a state where you feel calm, focused, and productive. This happens when you have a clear goal, a task that is not too easy, and no distractions.
He also shares what he sees in entrepreneur Q&A calls. Confused people tell long stories but cannot ask a clear question. Clarity comes fast when you define what you are trying to achieve and what is blocking you. His core advice is simple: define the objective, remove distractions, and do only the task that moves you toward the goal.
Most important highlights (with timestamps)
[0:00] Stop confusing yourself by defining the problem
The speaker says most people feel confused because they do not know what they want. If you cannot name the goal, you cannot know what to do next. This creates stress and frustration.
[1:13] Flow happens when the goal is clear and focus is protected
He talks about the book Flow and the “zone” athletes and creators describe. In this state, you are fully focused and your best work comes out. He says flow is linked to clear goals, steady progress, and no distraction.
[2:06] A study shows people are happiest during clear, focused progress
He explains a study where people recorded what they were doing when they got random alerts. The result was that people felt most happy when they worked toward a clear objective, with the right level of challenge, without interruptions.
[4:13] Confusion is the opposite of flow
He says confusion feels bad because there is no defined objective. When you do not know what you are trying to achieve, every action feels uncertain. That creates anxiety and mental noise.
[5:02] A clear sign of confusion: people tell stories instead of asking questions
In his consulting Q&A calls, he notices many people talk for a long time but never ask a real question. Another sign is when they end with “So what do you think?” He says clear people ask clear questions.
[6:39] Clarity comes from one simple push: “What are you trying to achieve?”
He explains how he helps people quickly by forcing them to name the objective. Once the objective is clear, he asks what is stopping them. Often they realize they already know what to do.
[8:08] Step one is to decide what you want long-term
He recommends taking time alone, away from the phone and social media. Think about what you really want, then write it down in a clear way. Only then can you pick the best action.
[9:23] Most problem solving is problem defining
He quotes a well-known idea often linked to Einstein: spend most of the time defining the problem, and little time solving it. His point is that once a problem is defined clearly, the solution often becomes obvious.
[10:03] Do not confuse “famous” with “successful”
He warns that many entrepreneurs chase social media because they see flashy signals online. But being popular is not the same as getting clients. Often the two are not connected.
[11:56] Business is simple: understand people, find their problem, solve it
He breaks business down to basics. Choose a niche based on interest. Talk to people and learn their day-to-day problems. Look for patterns. Then build a real solution and offer it.
[14:00] Stop chasing tactics and “smoke and mirrors”
He criticizes the idea that success comes from ads, funnels, a suit, a watch, or a fancy car. He says the only thing that matters is whether you solve an important problem for real people.
[18:00] Many people fail because their life is messy and full of distraction
He shares why some students do not get results: they join too many courses, follow too many voices, and try too many things at once. Their attention is split, so they do not do the work.
[19:46] The shortcut to focus is removing distraction
He says he does not rely on willpower to “focus harder.” Instead, he removes distractions. He keeps few apps, uses airplane mode, and puts the phone away. Less distraction creates more focus.
[22:37] The core advice: remove the crap, define the goal, do the one task
He ends with a simple method. Remove toxic distractions like constant phone use, social media, and alcohol. If you are still confused, write down what you are trying to achieve, find the best path, and do only that task until it is done.

Stop Confusing Yourself: Define the Goal and Remove Distractions
Many people feel lost. They feel busy, but they do not feel productive. They feel like they should be doing something, but they are not sure what. The main reason is simple. They do not know what they want.
If you do not know what you want, you cannot pick the right next step. You cannot choose the right action. So you jump between ideas. You scroll. You watch more videos. You start more projects. Then you feel even more confused.
The speaker explains a concept called “flow.” Flow is the state where you are fully focused. You forget about time. You stop overthinking. You just do the work. People often call this “being in the zone.” Athletes feel it. Writers feel it. Coders feel it. Many people have felt it at least once.
He says flow happens under clear conditions. You need a clear goal. You need steady progress. You need a task that is challenging but not impossible. And you need to be left alone without distractions. When these things are in place, you feel good. You work better. You create more.
He connects this to a study where people recorded what they were doing during random moments of the day. The main result was simple. People were happiest when they worked toward a clear objective and made progress without interruption. This supports the idea that clarity and focus are not just “nice to have.” They are a big part of feeling good in daily life.
Then he explains what confusion looks like in real life. He runs Q&A calls for entrepreneurs. Many people join and talk for a long time. They tell a story, but they do not ask a clear question. Sometimes they end with “What do you think?” He says this is a clear sign of confusion.
His solution is also simple. He asks: “What are you trying to achieve?” Many people cannot answer at first. But when they slow down and think, they get clarity. They might say, “I want more clients,” or “I want systems,” or “I want more time.” Once the objective is clear, the next question becomes easy: “What is stopping you?” Often the person realizes the block is smaller than they thought. Sometimes they even realize they already know the next step.
The speaker also warns about a common trap. Many people confuse fame with success. They see someone online with a fancy car and think social media must be the answer. Then they spend all day posting, but they still have no clients. He says popularity and real results are not the same thing. If you want clients, you should focus on the work that brings clients. Not the work that only brings attention.
He brings the idea back to basics. Business is solving problems for other people. First, pick a niche you find interesting. Then talk to people in that niche. Do not rush to sell. Learn how they think. Learn what their day looks like. Ask about their real problems. After enough conversations, patterns will show up. When you see a common problem, you can work on a real solution. People pay money for solutions that help them get to where they want to be.
He also says many people fail for a reason that has nothing to do with tactics. Their lives are messy. They are distracted all day. They follow too many voices, start too many courses, and try too many strategies at once. They are overloaded, so they do not take action. They do not implement. And then they wonder why nothing changes.
His advice is to stop trying to “focus harder.” Instead, remove distraction. Clean up your environment. Delete apps. Unsubscribe from noise. Put your phone away. Use airplane mode. Create space to think and work. He says this is easier than trying to fight temptation all day.
In the end, the message is clear. If you feel confused, stop and define the objective. Write it down. Then find the best action to reach it. Do that one task. Do not do anything else until it is done. Life and business get much simpler when you do this.
