In this motivational video, Jared Goetz argues that emotional and physical energy is the foundational element for any entrepreneur’s success. He explains that energy can be understood through various cultural lenses—chi, emotional vibrancy, or scientific heat—and emphasizes that the way you feel shapes the world around you. Goetz critiques the common habit of starting the day focused on problems, describing how low‑vibrational energy leads to negative thinking, while a high‑energy morning routine (hydration, stretching, cold exposure) flips the mindset toward opportunity. He warns that mindless scrolling on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts creates dopamine spikes followed by a crash, lowering energy and attention. To counter this, he suggests replacing scrolling with high‑energy actions such as breathwork, walking, music, exercise, and keeping personal promises. These practices shift perception, allowing entrepreneurs to reframe setbacks (e.g., a shut‑down ad account) as new opportunities. Throughout, Goetz ties energy management back to business performance, stating that without a solid energy foundation, ventures crumble despite having the right tactics. He concludes with a brief promotion of Zendrop Academy, inviting viewers to access deeper mindset tools.

In this video, I'm gonna change it up a little bit. However, I'd say that this is one of the most important things that you can be focusing on regularly because it transforms everything else around you, and that is your energy. Now, energy can be looked at from so many different ways. You know, if you're looking at Asian culture, they're talking about chi and flows and current going through your body. You might be talking to someone in a Western culture and they're, they're talking about your emotions and how vibrant you are, or if you're talking about scientific terms, it's literally how much heat are you producing, right? Light, energy. What I want to talk about now really is kind of how you feel, like your emotional energy. I'm a firm believer, and beyond a believer because I've proven this to myself, is that the way I feel creates the world around me. So if I feel certain emotions, my life is likely to take on the form and shape of those emotions in a matter of time. So when it comes to business, you might be wondering, why are we talking about energy? I wanna know about ads. I wanna know about how do I find winning products. I wanna know about how do I save money on taxes. Yes, yes, yes, yes, of course. But that comes next. This foundation is more important. And this is the reason why most people fail in business because they don't realize that this is the most important thing. And they go right to that stuff and they have not created the foundation that gives them the platform to build upon, to build an empire, build a business, because right when things start working, they come crumbling down because they don't have this foundation. So I want to talk about how to build the foundation. Now, let's think about our lives. For example, we wake up in the morning and what's the first thing that goes through your mind? Well, you can train yourself on this. You know, most people wake up and they think about their problems. They're tired because they're in a low vibrational energy when they first wake up and they get a little pop problem, ah shit, pop, another problem, oh shit, pop, oh shit, I don't wanna get out of bed yet, I don't wanna face all these problems and they give into their mind and they sit there and they think about their problems and they start their day like that. Other people who, I'm not gonna name specific people but there's lots of them that you might find on the internet, on YouTube, that have very vibrant energy, their routine is likely a lot different. They likely get their alarm in the morning. They don't let those pop into their head because they know that they will. They just pop right out of bed, get right into their routine, whether it's drink some water, go downstairs, do some stretches. You know, some people are crazy enough to just go right into a cold body of water, wake themselves up, physically go do something. And then they notice because their energy is different, their thoughts are different. So instead of the problem, problem, now it's opportunity. Oh my God, this is awesome. Oh, I just connected these two dots. I must reach out to this person. And all these good ideas start flowing. And those are the ideas that, that drive your business. So to ignore your energy would be totally ignorant, right? Because you need to be in that energetic state to have these good ideas, to see these opportunities, to see these connections. Hey guys, don't forget you could You can find this and more within Zen Drop Academy.

I mean, I gave the example of, you know, waking up and having all those negative thoughts, which I'm sure most of you guys can relate to because I can relate to them and a lot of people I've spoken to can relate to that. So there's many other things though. It's, you know, sitting around and scrolling on your phone is the worst thing, right? Literally. And, you know, I don't want to make this a rant about the negativities of social media, but I will say that when you're on TikTok or Instagram or even YouTube Shorts, for example, All you're doing is you're, you're triggering little dopamine hits, little dopamine hits, little dopamine hits. And then when you get rid of it, now your dopamine levels are lower than they were. And you're also training your brain to, I don't want to focus on this. I don't want to focus on this. I don't want to focus on this. So you're, you're lowering your dopamine while increasing your attention deficit. So scrolling is a recipe for low energy. What can you do to replace scrolling? Well, If you notice yourself scrolling, what I like to do is right when I realize that I'm like, what am I doing? The first thing that happens is I have an internal debate. My brain's like, oh, I'll give it a couple more minutes. And my other side's like, well, Jared, you know you shouldn't. And if I let that continue, my brain's like, my mind's like, oh, just, it's 9 o'clock, we'll stop at 9:05. And my other side's like, you've been through this before, And in the past, I used to give in to that. Okay, 9:05. And then 9:05 comes around and I'm in the middle of a strong dopamine hit. I'm like, well, I'll just go till 9:10, 9:10. And I've had times where I went until 9:30 or 10, and it was— and then I felt bad about myself because I knew what was right and I kept doing what was wrong. So my subconscious lost confidence. So what can you do when you start to get in that internal debate or when you recognize that you're about to go down a path of low energy? Well, one thing I like to do is replace it with something that will bring me high energy. So for example, if I see myself going down that path and I start to hear that debate, it's like, "Oh, give it a few more scrolls." Nope, done. Put it down. Go and do something to replace it. So I'll do some breathwork. I like breathwork because it's simple. I can do it anywhere. You know, if I'm in public, it's a little bit weird maybe for people to watch me breathing crazily, but If I'm in my office, I'll put it down, I'll do 15, 20, 30, 40 breaths, hold my breath, be present, and now I feel my energy shift. And then I'll get up and I'll go for a walk and I'll put on some music. And now rather than having all those overwhelming amounts of problems that I'm shoving into a corner and I'm replacing with the dopamine from my phone, I'm solving those problems, I'm seeing opportunities, my energy is shifting, and now I'm seeing more opportunities and I'm seeing more things I can do. And this has everything to do with your business. This has everything to do with any business you're in, whether you're a— you own a taxi cab company or you own an e-commerce business, or whether you own an NFT company or you're a hedge fund manager. It does not matter what it is that you're doing, which is why we're talking about this today. Shifting your energy creates the ability to see more opportunities for you to, to look at things from a different perspective. Everything in life you can look at from many different perspectives, and only you can choose which meaning you give to those things. You might look at a situation where, you know, maybe your ad account got shut down. What does that mean? Well, it can mean many things. If you're in a low energy state, I'll tell you what it means. It means, ah shit, all this work I put in and now my ad account went down, right? But if you're in a really high energy state, You can look at that problem and say, oh, you know what? Well, this is an opportunity to try other platforms. Maybe I'll hit something on another platform. Same exact situation, two totally different ways to look at it. And you're the one who gets to choose. Now imagine every problem in your life. You're like, ah, shit, this problem, blah, blah, blah. Or you see another route. Imagine you were able to shift the way you see every problem, how much your life would change. Well, the only way to do that is by shifting your energy, and shifting your energy comes from certain practices. I like to say physical practices. I love going for a walk or, you know, just going and doing a sprint and then walking for like 5 or 10 minutes with good music. You know, personally, I have a playlist that I listen to that brings me through different emotional states when I'm on my walks. Working out, keeping promises to yourself. We'll talk more about specifically how to change your energy state with different tactics and tools if you want to. But in this video, I just wanted to bring awareness to the importance of it. So when you're focusing on your business, remember to focus on your energy.
