Shark Tank mentor Daymond John shares his views on the key to success and more

In a recently released Instagram reel, Shark Tank investor Daymond John discussed how he often learns about people talking about:

"How difficult things are to accomplish and how they don't think they have what it takes to succeed."

He stated that such a mindset leads people towards being intimidated and shackles them and their ability to achieve greater things in life. As a result, they can't get themselves free from the "shackles of mental chains."

The Shark further added:

'Don't get me wrong, nothing in life comes easy. However, living an unhappy life and wondering "what could have been" is more painful than any struggle."

Shark Tank's mentor said he wanted to guide individuals going through such situations and difficult times. For that, he mentioned that learning was the "key." He noted anyone can start "today" as it is "super simple."

The reel further reveals that successes range from "health to marriage to faith to business" and everything in between them. In addition, no matter how diverse backgrounds and definitions of "success" might differ for individuals, achievements "boil down" to three reasons.

The reasons that Daymond John mentioned were:

"They solved a problem. They brought somebody joy. They loved what they did."

Despite sharing his thoughts, the Shark Tank mentor stated that he knew it was "easier" said than done. But he learned that if we try and concentrate on solving other people's problems, the rest will "fall into place."

For those who might have doubts about this advice that he had shared, he mentioned that individuals can talk to other successful people and learn more about that. The video clip concluded with Daymond John stating that, reaching the heart of the success, individuals would "uncover" what he took years to discover by himself.

Additionally, he could be seen writing on a paper, the answer to the ultimate question:

"How to be an entrepreneur?"

He wrote a simple answer: "Solve a problem."
