The question is this, how do young men like us who didn't listen to society or on our
own, how do we grow and improve ourselves so that we can live a better tomorrow?
That is the question and this podcast will give you the answers.
My name is James Radsinski and this is the Ascend Momentum Show.
Welcome back everyone.
So I want to start things off today by talking about a lesson I learned yesterday.
And I want to give you a quick little backstory.
For the past couple weeks I've been just reading books.
That's all I've been doing.
I've been going to football practice and then coming home and just reading books.
And I was talking with a friend on a job and he just said that I have to value my time more.
And that really stuck out to me.
I 100% agree.
I am not valuing my time enough.
Now before you get me wrong, reading books are an essential habit.
It is high value.
But I know exactly what I need to do right now to move forward in my business.
But I'm simply not doing it.
I'm just distracting myself with more books.
So right now I'm a watch renewer and I have to value my time more and just sit down, focus up, and get the work done that needs to be done.
So that's that.
That was the lesson I learned yesterday.
But I want to talk to you about something.
A year ago I found myself just scrolling through TikTok all day.
Not even left my bed yet.
I was just sitting in my room on my bed scrolling through TikTok.
And that's what I would do for like hours before I woke up.
And I want to say that I felt extremely lazy and I felt trapped when I was in those moments.
I didn't want to get up.
It just seemed way easier to just sit down and lay there.
And there was one time I remember scrolling through TikTok, scrolling through like, you know, these videos.
And then suddenly I realized that the past 10 videos that I watched, I did not even enjoy.
So then I got up and it was actually difficult to get up and get off my phone and go take a shower.
And I realized that you have to build up discipline to be able to even get out of your bed.
And it'll get way easier, the stronger your discipline is.
And especially it'll get extremely easy if you have a purpose in life.
One year ago when I was just sitting there in my bed scrolling through TikTok, I had no purpose.
There was no meaning in my life.
I didn't have anything that I felt called to do.
But once I gained a purpose of going to the gym and lifting weights and getting stronger and building my physique up, that was my purpose.
And to be honest, it was so easy to get out of bed after that.
Once I really started getting into the gym, it was really...
It was not easy, but it was way easier compared to how it was when I was just trapped on my phone.
But I tell you this story because it's not your discipline.
It's not your... you're not the reason.
There's not something wrong with you.
It's just you haven't been taken under someone else's wing.
And you haven't been educated properly.
You've just been consumed by social media and we as a society let that happen.
So in that sense, it's not your fault that you find it difficult to lay in bed or find it difficult to get out of bed in the morning.
And I want to tell you a few tips.
I want to just tell you what needs to be done to be able to move your life forward.
First thing that I would do is I would build up your discipline because you can't really do anything without discipline.
And then I would try and find a purpose like going to the gym.
And there's some other steps too, like getting consistency in your life on everything.
And then I would free up your time and I go into depth on all of these strategies and teach you what to do and how to do it in my guidebook.
It's called the Self-Improvement Guidebook.
And you can get it for free if you go to my website.
www.Self-Improvement.com
The website's not up yet, but hopefully by the time this podcast will go out, it will be up.
That's my one critical task for today.
So that brings me back to another thing, critical task.
This concept I learned from the 4-hour work week.
And it's pretty much where...
Yeah!
Okay.
I will have a great day.
4-hour work week.
I have to...
This is right when I was talking about focus. I lost my focus.
I have to fix this and not get distracted while I'm recording my podcast.
I can't let... I have to record my podcast outside of my house so I don't get distracted.
I should go to the park and record my podcast for now on.
Well, let's just talk about the 4-hour work week.
Focus.
You pretty much have to dial in on one task for the day and figure out what task that would be the most important task that is the number one task where if you didn't do anything else except for that, your day would be productive.
So then you just only focus on that one task every single day.
So for me, it's getting my website up and running to give out this free guidebook to everyone.
Okay, well, that's it for today's episode. Have a great day!
