The question is this, how do young men like us, who didn't listen to society, who are
on our own, how do we grow and improve ourselves so that we can live a better tomorrow?
That is the question and this show will give you the answers.
My name is James Radzinski and this is the Ascend Momentum Show.
Welcome back everybody.
So today was a good day.
I'm on day four of Russell Bronson's first funnel challenge and that day was good, first
challenge, but I will say that it was the worst day so far because there was only one
speaker and he spent the majority of the time making his offer and trying to sell his $2,000
offer, which is a very good offer and it's a very good thing to study how he was offering
it because he was using the perfect webinar script to actually sell it.
And what I've learned is that I just need to study, study, study all of my books from
him and from there just keep acting and keep pushing through my comfort because there's
a lot of things that I'm going to have to do that are going to be uncomfortable but
it's what I need to do to be able to get success.
But one thing that I came to the realization today was that when I was reading, let me
just tell you a quick story first.
When I was reading the 4 hour work week by Timothy Ferris, I learned of this thing where
you do figure out the one thing that you need to do to move forward.
The most important thing to where if that was the only thing you did that day, it would
be a productive day and just do that.
Only do that.
Don't get distracted.
Don't do any emails and stuff.
And that's good.
So I was implementing that.
That's what I would say to my friend, hey, what's your task for today?
And he would say the same to me.
And then we would do that task that day.
But I realized that I am getting distracted by emails and I'm forming bad habits.
So I need to put a nip to that.
But also by the time I did get down to business, I was uncomfortable and quickly went to another
photo tab like email or read a book or something like that.
And it was just an unproductive time.
So I have to do what the speaker on day four said.
I forgot her name.
I feel bad, but I forgot her name.
But she just said, just do it.
And she gave a whole speech about how the enemy to entrepreneurs is not the mindset.
It's or I don't even remember.
I'm probably butchering this, but it was something along the lines of the enemy to your achieving
your goals or getting progress is not your mindset.
But it's your inaction or it's how long you take to do something.
I don't know.
It's pretty much however you respond to an act.
I don't know.
Here, let me start over.
When you have figure out your mission critical task and you don't do it, that is the enemy
to entrepreneurship, not mindset, not nothing.
You need to figure out your task and then sit down and just do it.
That's what she said.
Just do it.
You need to just do it.
And that's there's one billionaire that she talked about that no one really knows of.
And here, let me pull it up in my notes.
There's a billionaire that she talked about that no one really knows of that said that
issued all of that gave credit to all of his wealth and success to one phrase.
And that phrase is I'm on the page.
One second.
Do it now.
And he would repeat do it now, do it now, do it now every single day over a hundred
times to himself.
He would actually make all of his employees repeat do it now to themselves a hundred
times.
And oh, here it is.
The number one enemy of wealth is not mindset.
It's delay.
And that's that just comes in your thoughts.
You have to beat it by using words.
You have to beat your thoughts by using words and that's do it now.
You just have to repeat do it now.
So you know what?
Here's an actionable step right now.
Get out a piece of paper.
I'm going to tear out a piece of paper out of my notebook.
There you go.
You probably heard that rip.
And write down the following in really big letters to take up the entire page.
Do it now.
Exclamation point.
Now leave that piece of paper on your desk upright so you can see it.
And also I already did this, but another actionable step is take out a piece of paper and write
down on the top on the header.
What is my task today?
And then under it say one with a period next to it and then a colon or whatever you want
just to show that this is an example and you don't write on it just to get your mind thinking
about what your task is.
And then under that say now say exactly what I say.
Say write down now comma just do it.
And those are the two pieces of paper that I'm going to keep on my desk for now.
I'm actually going to put the just do it right under my monitor on the monitor stand so I
can see that.
And then what is my task today?
Just near my notebook.
And what that will do is just keep training my brain to every time I see it I'll be conscious
of it.
So this will only work if you're conscious of it.
So I want you every time you see it and notice it repeat yourself just do it and that will
be a reminder and you have 99 more times to go to say that.
So right now I've probably said it 20 times today and it's 3pm that's not enough.
Tomorrow I'm going to say it 100 times.
Today I'm going to say it 100 times.
Just do it, just do it, just do it.
There's three more.
So every time I see it but you have to you can't just go through the motions.
You have to consciously say it or else it won't work.
You won't get any benefit out of it.
And you have to feel it.
And then this will work especially well if you remember to say it and act on it when
it's time to just do it.
So today I don't know if you guys heard my story about how I first got into podcasting.
Just because I read Russell Brunson's book, Expert Secrets and in there he said if you
post your show every day for the next year you will never have to worry about money again.
And so I was just like okay I'll try it and at first I just recorded my episodes on voice
memos and never posted them on my phone.
Just because I was so nervous and this was just like three weeks ago I talked about this
in my last episode too but this was just like three weeks ago.
It was a really short period of time ago and I posted 14, er not posted, I recorded 14
episodes before I actually built up the balls and the confidence to actually post my show
for real online.
And when I did post it online it sucked.
Because you guys can see going back to the trailer even like 7 or 8 episodes ago the
trailer sucked.
But now I'm getting way, way better and the times are getting longer and longer.
When I was practicing for 14 episodes on my voice memos I would only record for less than
8 minutes.
Most times it was like 5 minutes because I just could not think anything to say.
I couldn't come up with anything to say and a lot of times I was just sitting there in
awkward silence.
But why do I say this?
I say this because today I recorded my first three tiktoks and I just put them, er actually
yesterday I recorded one, today I recorded four.
The two that I recorded yesterday and the first one I recorded today were just ads and
I published them privately and I realized that I don't think I want to be uploading that
kind of tiktok because I don't think that's how you succeed in that.
You have to provide value to be able to get customers or viewers and then those viewers
turn into loyal viewers and then they get curious, go to your page, go to your link
tree and then go from there.
I kind of just blanked.
I was talking about the, they go to my, oh yeah, so I'm saying this because I posted two
videos privately and then three videos I actually am going to post, maybe.
I recorded them back to back, they're three, like one minute long tiktoks and each of them
just goes through one step of my framework and tomorrow I plan on posting the other three
and recording the other three, just the six step framework to start improving yourself.
If you don't have that book, actually go to selfimprovementguidebook.com to learn more
and then just click, like, or you can, if you just want to go straight to it, selfimprovementguidebook.com
slash get-now.
I just went, I funnel hacked Russell Brunson's tiktoks and wrote down a framework of what
I think he's using in his tiktoks and then recorded the first three episodes and I plan
on posting three episodes a day, three tiktoks a day, just like what I did, what I'm doing
with podcasting and I'll continue to post a podcast a day every day, so I'll post one
podcast every day and three tiktoks every day and those three tiktoks will be the,
I really predict that if I can get one to go big and just practice my skills at posting
then by the time I actually run paid ads I'll be so much better off and I'm not actually
going to be running paid ads until I'm 18 because you're not allowed to create a tiktok
business account until you're 18.
But yeah, so pretty much why I'm saying all of this to wrap everything up is I didn't
start any podcasting or tiktoks publicly.
I just practice privately on my own consistently every day.
I recorded 14 days, 14 episodes of a podcast that no one has seen yet.
I only shared one podcast with my friend and I don't even think he opened it, which I don't
blame him because I probably wouldn't open it either.
But I say this because you don't need to post your stuff if you're uncomfortable.
You can do it yourself and then also I'm linking this back to a lesson that I learned today
is we don't have an issue with problems.
Our problem isn't the problem, it's our relationship with the problems.
So if you have problems, okay, you have problems, but the fact that we're letting the problems
stop us is the issue.
That's our relationship with them.
When we come up with a problem, when we go to my notes, but when we come up with a problem
we need to create a plan on how to deal with the problem.
So that was me.
I was too nervous.
My problem was I was too nervous to go to or to post my first podcast publicly because
I sucked.
So my plan was to post podcasts temporarily for the time being and I had to stay conscious
that I was actually going to post publicly eventually and then I just set the time to
14 days.
It's the time limit of 14 days and then I'll post no matter what.
And that was my plan and then now I'm going to get success because I'm way more comfortable
now doing podcasts.
So and this also happened with my sister.
She was too scared to go to the gym and lift weights.
So because she was afraid that she'd see someone that she knows.
So she drove, she still does this, I think.
She drives an extra like 20 minutes to the further gym away, the gym just out of town
and she works out there.
So she doesn't have to worry about other people.
And once she builds up confidence, she will probably go to the local gym.
So we need, I just learned about this concept today.
We need to fix our relationship with problems.
And so this is a very valuable lesson for you guys to learn.
We need to fix our relationship with our problems.
So I want you to write that down right now.
Fix my relationship with my problems.
And so to do that, you just have to realize that you have a problem and then come up with
a plan on how to deal with it.
So right now my problem is I'm scared to post TikToks.
So I am going to record three TikToks a day, every single day and post them to my drafts
folder.
And then once I become confident enough or once a time limit reaches, for example, 14
days on my podcast, then I will start posting publicly no matter what.
And usually I don't come up with a time limit right away because I trust myself to actually
follow through on it and actually come up with a time limit, not just indefinitely never
post.
But if you don't trust yourself, you should definitely come up with a time limit.
And then when that time limit expires, so do 14 days of posting a podcast.
And then once those days come up, you have to post on day 15 online for real.
And I'm not going to lie, when I posted my podcast for real, my trailer, I didn't actually
post it for that day.
I scheduled it for like five or six days later.
So I have like five or six days cushion of podcast just because I still don't trust myself
because I'm new to this and I want to be able to build up a reputation, build up skills
and build up consistency before I cut out those five days because I don't want to accidentally
miss a day and you guys miss an episode.
I want publicly all of my episodes to be consistent.
So every single day you guys will be able to expect an episode no matter what.
And even if I forget to record an episode one day, I'll still have those five extra days
cushion.
So then I'll just record to the next day.
And yeah.
And I'm so this, as you guys can see, this is my journey so far.
I'm only on like episode eight, I think.
And I'm already so much better at talking.
And also, I want you guys to know that I'm not just practicing podcasting.
I'm meditating every single day, two times a day for 20 minutes each time.
So in the morning I wake up, 20 minute meditation and then I do, well I do the Wim Hof method
for 20 minutes, which is just hyperventilating.
You should go to his website to learn it, but it's pretty much breathe fast in through
the nose, out through the mouth, 30 reps and then exhale and hold your breath there on
the exhale until you need another breath and then breathe in all the way.
Hold that for 15 seconds and then exhale and then repeat that entire process like three
or four times.
I usually do it four times in the morning and then that's 20 minutes.
So that's like 15 minutes and then I just sit and meditate, focus on my breath for the
rest of that time.
And I have two timers actually, two stopwatches because my phone does not come in my room
ever.
I always keep my phone in the basement as far away as possible on airplane mode, powered
off.
And so I have two actual like physical timers where one is set to 20 minutes and one is
set to 30 minutes.
And what that does is I start them both at the same time and then I turn off the 20 minute
one when it goes off and then I switch to a different meditation, which I'm working
on.
I'm not sure what it's called, but it's pretty much like a resistance training breathing
exercise where you have a metal straw and then you breathe in for four counts and then
hold it for four counts, exhale for four counts, hold it for four counts.
Sometimes I just breathe in for four counts, exhale for four counts, but that I have a friend
who said that that's really good for your core development and building up your diaphragm.
So I'm practicing that.
And then at nighttime I do 20 minute journaling of my thoughts like right before I go to bed
after my nighttime routine and I have this set at the same time every day.
So at 5.50 I'm in my room journaling and then 5.10.
I'm in the works of reworking my routine so I don't actually know for sure yet.
I think it's 5.40 I start journaling and then at 6 I start meditating for 30 minutes and
then once that alarm goes off I actually set both my alarms again, one for 50 minutes and
one for 20 minutes.
Once the 20 minutes goes off I start meditating until that alarm goes off.
And I find that if you have an actual alarm it's so much better because you don't have
to open your eyes to see how much time is up so that it doesn't actually ruin your experience,
your meditation.
So I actually can just trust on the alarm to go off and get me out of the meditation.
And it's like a mental builder too because you're sitting in your boredom and you just
tell yourself you're not going to open your eyes until that alarm goes off.
But yeah I actually feel that meditating every day consistently is one of the best decisions
I made and I didn't actually implement this until like one month ago until I bought this
mat and kept it in my room so I could actually have meditation in my routine every day.
And now I actually sleep on that mat but that's a story for a different day.
Alright everybody, that was a good episode.
Thanks for listening.
Have a great day.
