1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
The big question is this, how do young men like us who didn't listen to society, who are on our own,

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,000
how do we grow and improve ourselves so that we can live a better tomorrow?

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,000
That is the question and this show will give you the answers.

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:21,000
My name is James Radsinski and welcome to the Ascend Momentum Show.

5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:31,000
So if you guys haven't listened to yesterday's episode, you should check it out.

6
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:37,000
But today was a very good day.

7
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Today, let me give some context if you haven't listened to yesterday's episode.

8
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:51,000
We, me and my friend, made a commitment to go to...

9
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000
So first of all, let me give some more context.

10
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Me and my friend are about to be seniors in high school.

11
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:05,000
We're both broke and we're both trying to essentially make money online through entrepreneurship.

12
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:11,000
And we're both broke right now. Our income is zero.

13
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:17,000
And yesterday, and some of the...

14
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:23,000
The person that we're studying right now on how to make money, how to build a business,

15
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:28,000
how to build a movement, how to market.

16
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,000
The person we're studying is Russell Brunson and he's at ClickFunnels.

17
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:41,000
And he is hosting a live event.

18
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Today, as of recording this, is August 6th and his live event is in September 27th.

19
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,000
So a month and a half.

20
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,000
A little over a month and a half.

21
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,000
And tickets are $1,000 each.

22
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,000
And yesterday, me and my friend decided we're gonna go.

23
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:12,000
And then today, my friend was like, we should buy the tickets soon.

24
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:19,000
For many reasons, because when we're locked in and we were forced, we have to go now.

25
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,000
And there's no bailing out once we buy the tickets.

26
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Two, we...

27
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,000
Two, we are...

28
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:43,000
Investing a big sum of money. So now we have to make money to actually be able to fly over there.

29
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:50,000
So my friend spent $2,000 of his own money to buy both the tickets.

30
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,000
And so now we're committed, we're locked in.

31
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:00,000
So now I am focusing only on one thing.

32
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,000
And that is sales, essentially.

33
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:12,000
And this is one thing, this is a principle that I've heard from many different...

34
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Many different mentors, many different books, many different podcasts.

35
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:25,000
And it's focus on one thing and you'll be successful.

36
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:32,000
So for me, that one thing is making a sale.

37
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,000
I only have to make one sale.

38
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,000
And that's the only thing I'm focusing on right now.

39
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,000
So I'm trying to make a sale every single day.

40
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:50,000
And you know what, tomorrow... Yeah, I'm going to make a sale every single day.

41
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:57,000
This concept of focusing on one thing, I am still going to the gym.

42
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,000
I'm still doing all my other stuff.

43
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,000
But all that stuff doesn't really require anything.

44
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Once it's time to get down to business and actually move forward,

45
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:15,000
the only thing that I'm focusing on is sales.

46
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:21,000
So there's this concept that me and my friend follow.

47
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,000
And it's called a critical task.

48
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:36,000
So what it is, is your critical task for the day is the one task that if you only did that one task,

49
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,000
you would be happy with your progress.

50
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:47,000
And so my critical task every single day for now on is make a sale.

51
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,000
Make a sale.

52
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:54,000
So the way I'm doing that is walking up to local businesses and actually going in person.

53
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:03,000
And that actually expands my comfort zone and it will give me better chance of making a sale

54
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:09,000
than just emailing and cold calling.

55
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Now, that is something that you guys should apply.

56
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:18,000
If you're just starting to go to the gym, the only thing you focus, the only thing that matters,

57
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,000
the only thing that you're changing is going to the gym every day.

58
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,000
That's the only thing that matters.

59
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,000
No diet matters, nothing else.

60
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:33,000
And then once you're comfortable and once you want to go to the gym and have positive feedback loop hits,

61
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,000
then you can add another thing.

62
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,000
That's essentially what I did.

63
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:42,000
I went to the gym and then once I started going to the gym and I was addicted to it,

64
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:51,000
then I started changing other habits and fixing my diet, fixing my sleep, fixing my breathing, all of that stuff.

65
00:05:51,000 --> 00:06:00,000
And that's what I'm doing with making a sale.

66
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Now, I'm at a huge advantage now with just life in general and making improvement

67
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:16,000
because I changed this, I fixed this one piece of my health and it was to increase my testosterone.

68
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Now, at the time I didn't realize how much of an asset it is,

69
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:29,000
but when I learned that my testosterone was low, it was on a Hamza video

70
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:38,000
and he was talking about how everyone, he was just talking about estrogenics and how everyone is,

71
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:45,000
like everyone in society is affected and everyone's testosterone is way lower than it should be

72
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:53,000
and we're becoming infertile and so I started making slight changes, little changes every day

73
00:06:53,000 --> 00:07:00,000
and I focused on that for like a month or two months and my testosterone has increased so much

74
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:07,000
plus now I'm adding in supplements like I'm taking, I've always taken creatine since I was starting the gym

75
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:12,000
but now I'm taking cyst damage and I'm going to start taking pine pollen.

76
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:22,000
So all of these, and I also do certain habits like icing my balls, which I talked about yesterday I think,

77
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:30,000
that is increases your testosterone as well, just like many different habits increasing my testosterone

78
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:40,000
and back to what I was saying is that if you increase your testosterone, like we're men, we have testosterone,

79
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:49,000
we are the ones building the earth essentially, we are the ones building the buildings,

80
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:54,000
we're the ones going out and doing things, now yeah women do that stuff too,

81
00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:01,000
but men are really the ones who are like the builders and we're the ones who are taking the most risk,

82
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:11,000
who are the most aggressive, have the most vigor, we're just men essentially

83
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:20,000
and that's because we have testosterone, so me increasing, before I had no test, low testosterone

84
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:27,000
and that was, I didn't want to build anything, I didn't want to do much of what men do

85
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:33,000
and now that I am increasing my testosterone higher and higher and higher to where I'm actually supposed to be,

86
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:39,000
I actually want to build stuff and I actually want to go out and take risks and actually grow and improve as a man,

87
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:48,000
I've always wanted to grow and improve but now especially and it's just having high testosterone is such a huge advantage

88
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:55,000
over someone who does not, it's, I mean honestly you don't know until you have it

89
00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:03,000
and I don't even have as high as testosterone as I want, I want to get way higher test

90
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:08,000
and then, yeah so that's one of the things that has helped me a lot, increasing my testosterone

91
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:16,000
and now it's a slow process especially if you were where I was at where you were basically consuming a lot of estrogenics,

92
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:22,000
it takes a couple months to get the results by removing certain things

93
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:31,000
but when I started taking cyst-anch it was probably two or maybe one month, one or two months after I started removing things

94
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:37,000
and cyst-anch I saw results like that day or like that night

95
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:45,000
so that's another thing, testosterone, increase your testosterone, huge advantage

96
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:56,000
now let me bring back, bring you back to what I was talking about earlier about going to local businesses in person

97
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:05,000
and trying to essentially be a sales person, one that increases my sales ability so I'm getting better at selling in person

98
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:12,000
which is huge, that's a huge skill to have and two I'm increasing my comfort zone so much

99
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:20,000
so when I first started getting into trying to build funnels for other people, I would send emails to people

100
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:27,000
and I'll tell you, when I sent my first email I was extremely nervous, I did not want to click send

101
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:39,000
and I ended up doing this later on but at that time which was literally like two, maybe one week ago

102
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:48,000
yeah I think it was actually a week ago, I mean I documented it so you guys can go back to episodes and see what day it was

103
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:59,000
but it was literally like recently and if I were to ask that person to cold call that same business that I just emailed

104
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:06,000
I would have not wanted to do it and then I started cold calling after that

105
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:13,000
and then that expanded my comfort zone so first of all emailing expanded my comfort zone

106
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:19,000
and then cold calling expanded my comfort zone, now let me tell you exactly what that means

107
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:26,000
the first time I emailed I was super nervous, now I can email just with a breeze and I can just email anyone I want

108
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:35,000
and not have any worries, the first time I cold called I was like on that call I was struggling

109
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:43,000
I was nervous, I was like if you were to listen to that audio recording which I don't think is possible because it was a call

110
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,000
but if you were to hear me, you would, my voice was shaking it was bad

111
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:55,000
but then the second time I did it it was so much easier and then after that I got easier and easier and now I can cold call

112
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:02,000
without question and to be honest yesterday I was so nervous about cold calling

113
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:08,000
I'm not even kidding, today I can cold call whoever I want and not have to worry about it

114
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:20,000
now three days ago I realized that cold calling is not enough and I need to go into the business in person

115
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:26,000
and try and sell them in person because then they know I'm serious and legit and then they can see like

116
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:32,000
it's incredible if you go in person, there's many reasons and the first time I'm going to be honest

117
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:42,000
I pushed it off the next day and then it wasn't until I went into deep meditation and my friend spent like an hour or two slowly

118
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:54,000
but low key, like he wasn't making it obvious that he was doing this but slowly but surely he was saying things that ended up making me convince myself

119
00:12:54,000 --> 00:13:01,000
but he was really the one that helped me through it to actually do it and go to the first shop

120
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:07,000
and then once I did it I was way more nervous than any of the other places I felt like I was about to die

121
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:19,000
and I was scared, my voice was shaking, I was stumbling over my words, I was really bad

122
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:30,000
and then I did it and I was fine, I got rejected but that's okay and then the next day I was going to do it but

123
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:38,000
my bike lock got stolen but to be honest I just used that as an excuse to not do it again

124
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:46,000
and so I was still scared but then the next day I went which was yesterday and it was so much easier

125
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:56,000
and then it was similar to how the second cold call went where it was just 80% easier

126
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:04,000
so instead of 100% fear I had 20% fear and that's the same thing that happened today again

127
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:13,000
today I went for a third time and instead of 20% fear I only had 10% fear and it went a lot more smoothly

128
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:20,000
and so tomorrow when I go again it's just going to be 5% and then it's just going to keep getting lower and lower

129
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:31,000
and so I'm comfortable doing it and then I make a sale and really I'm going in to try and get them to accept my offer

130
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:38,000
but really what's happening is I'm just trying to expand my comfort zone to be honest

131
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:44,000
that's really all that I'm trying to do and I have bad social anxiety and I'm an introvert

132
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:49,000
and also I'm shy around people, I get nervous around people

133
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:58,000
usually my dad has his friends over sometimes and whenever that happens I just get really nervous

134
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:04,000
and then when people try and talk to me I just stumble over my words and all that

135
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:12,000
not a great scene and today after I've done all this stuff I didn't really know that this was going to happen

136
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:22,000
but today people came over and we started talking and I was actually like way more comfortable and confident talking

137
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:31,000
it was, it's crazy how much of a difference cold emailing people, cold calling and then going in person has made on me

138
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:42,000
I'm just so much more calm around people and this is huge because school is starting literally in like maybe 7 or 8 days

139
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:48,000
maybe 6 days, yeah no 7 days is my first day of school

140
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:56,000
no 8 days sorry, 8 days is my first day of school because today is Sunday tomorrow is Monday

141
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:03,000
8 days is my first day of school and now during school I'm like nervous in the first day

142
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:11,000
but then once I get comfortable around the people then it's fine but I still am like shy and stuff like that

143
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,000
but I feel like it's going to be different this year

144
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:24,000
I'm going to be way more confident and just stronger, better man, I'm going to be more manly

145
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:32,000
because honestly looking back it's embarrassing being like having bad social anxiety

146
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:41,000
and even today like I'm still embarrassed or not embarrassed but I'm still like shy, nervous and scared around other people

147
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:46,000
even today when I was going to the business today

148
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:55,000
it's embarrassing, I'm like weak and I'm a man, I need to be strong and confident up front

149
00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:01,000
it's fine to have all that stuff inside but on the face I have to be strong and confident

150
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:06,000
and so doing this stuff is actually making me more strong and confident

151
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:11,000
and it's honestly embarrassing, I'm embarrassed that I waited this long to do it

152
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:19,000
but literally the past 6 days I've grown more, I've grown my social abilities more than I have in my entire life

153
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:25,000
it's actually crazy just by doing progressive overload and I did this on accident

154
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:32,000
I wasn't doing this to grow at first, I was doing this to for my business, my consulting business

155
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:39,000
and it's literally just progressive overload from emailing businesses and then voicemail

156
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:44,000
or cold calling them and then to going in person

157
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:51,000
it's actually insane how much I've grown, I'm like so much more calm, calm and I feel more manly

158
00:17:51,000 --> 00:18:02,000
I'm actually really excited for the future because I always felt like a, I always felt like a, what's the word?

159
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:10,000
I always felt like a boy and yeah I was a boy but once you get to a teenager you're supposed to feel more manly

160
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:15,000
I never felt manly, today while I'm saying this is probably the first day I've ever felt manly

161
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:23,000
because I was able to, I always like shake people's hands but I'm not really confident when I do it

162
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:30,000
but today was the first time where I met one of my dad's friends while he was over for like dinner

163
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:41,000
and, or it was lunch but he, like I introduced myself and he introduced himself and I just walked over to him and I shook his hand

164
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:52,000
and for the first time I actually felt confident and it was like the first time I'd ever felt like a man in a social situation

165
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:57,000
so that's huge, if you guys, I definitely recommend doing that

166
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:08,000
even if you don't have like a business idea, just try and like, I mean if I was, if I was looking to grow

167
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:15,000
I would do this and I would just do the same exact thing I'm doing and then if you happen to get a yes

168
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:20,000
and I know what I'm doing and I'm trying to get a yes and I have not gotten a single yes

169
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:29,000
so, and most people just ignore me unless I'm like, obviously unless I'm calling them, like most people I email just ignore me

170
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:39,000
and if you're trying to grow your social, like your social capabilities, all that stuff that I just talked about

171
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:48,000
I would literally just send emails in earlier podcasts, I told you exactly the email that

172
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:55,000
but you should just make an email and say, hey I want to help you with your business, like I'm just looking for opportunities to grow

173
00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:00,000
and then if they say yes, just say, hey nevermind, sorry about that

174
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:06,000
it's literally, that's such a huge exercise to grow and I wish I did it a lot earlier

175
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:13,000
but if you do that, just start with emails and then move on after like three or four days

176
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:19,000
or two days or one day, it doesn't matter, once you build up enough confidence

177
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:25,000
and trust me, you're not going to want to move to calls but just do it anyways and you're never going to feel ready

178
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:30,000
but once emails become too easy and you lose that uncomfortable feeling

179
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:39,000
then just cold call a random local business and talk about your opportunity and do that like for five people

180
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:46,000
I literally only called like six people maybe, actually maybe like 10 or 15, I don't remember

181
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:51,000
I was doing like five calls a day for like a couple of days, I don't know

182
00:20:51,000 --> 00:21:02,000
but literally five emails, five calls and five in persons will change your life

183
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,000
and right now I've done five emails, I've done five calls at least

184
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:13,000
I've done way more than that on each of those two and so far I've done three in person visits

185
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:19,000
so two more and I will be just like how I was earlier

186
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:25,000
I will be just how I was with calling or how I am with calling in person

187
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:32,000
and that's a huge skill to have being able to make a sale in person

188
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:37,000
it changes your life, not just for the business but more so because you're more confident

189
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:43,000
like what I said, I feel way more manly, I feel more masculine, I feel more confident

190
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:49,000
and it's actually crazy, I've always heard all my life like how awesome it is to be confident

191
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:55,000
and I didn't know until now, it is different, it is one of the most amazing things

192
00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:03,000
and today is my first day and I'm getting better every time

193
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:15,000
now I want to talk to you guys about one of the things that really propelled me forward

194
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:24,000
so I never read the book Atomic Habits but just like ten minutes ago

195
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:29,000
I read James Clear's book, who is the author of Atomic Habits

196
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:38,000
I read one of his blog posts and I came to the realization that what he was talking about

197
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:45,000
is exactly what I did and I didn't realize what I was doing until now

198
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,000
and I realized that that's the most effective method

199
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:54,000
so what he says is don't worry about your goals, worry about your system

200
00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:01,000
so your goal would be, if your goal is to get jacked, don't worry about getting jacked

201
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:07,000
don't worry about looking in the mirror every day, that's a waste of time, it's distracting

202
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:11,000
and worry about the system on how to do it

203
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,000
so I don't like the word system, I like the word routine

204
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,000
worry about the routine on how to get there

205
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,000
and literally just add the gym, go to the gym to your routine

206
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,000
and that's what I did, I went to the gym every single morning

207
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:31,000
like during school, because I figured out how to put it into my routine the easiest

208
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,000
that will make me actually be able to go

209
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:38,000
so for me I found that going before school was the easiest

210
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:45,000
because I had the most energy, or not the energy

211
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:50,000
I was still like not, I was still tired waking up in the morning

212
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,000
I hadn't adjusted to it yet at that time

213
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:58,000
but the reason why I did it in the morning was because if I went after school

214
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:02,000
there was a lot of times where I just skipped because

215
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:07,000
and it just wasn't as enjoyable because I'd use all my mental energy at school

216
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,000
and I didn't feel as productive

217
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,000
so I decided to put it in the morning

218
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,000
because then I could use the afternoon to read books

219
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,000
but I slowly added that to my routine

220
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,000
I only focused on one thing, and it was gym

221
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,000
I was literally just only going to the gym, that's the only thing that mattered

222
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,000
so that's exactly how you get progress

223
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,000
so goal is to set your direction

224
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:38,000
and then literally ignore the goal but still move towards the goal

225
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,000
but the way you move towards the goal is routine

226
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,000
routine is how you make progress towards the goal

227
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,000
the goal is to set your direction, routine is to make progress

228
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,000
and to be honest you need both

229
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,000
so you need to set the goal first

230
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,000
and then you need to figure out what you need to do

231
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,000
and then just add it to your daily routine

232
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:05,000
so that's what I did with the gym and that is what I did with podcasting

233
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,000
I just added it to my daily routine

234
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,000
and then I just told myself I was just going to do it every day

235
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,000
it was just as simple as that, it was actually way easier

236
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,000
just doing that then trying to figure out a time

237
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,000
but that's also what I did

238
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,000
and am doing with selling in person

239
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,000
I told myself I was going to email someone

240
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,000
and really the first day I emailed like 50 people

241
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,000
because email is just really easy

242
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,000
my first email was hard but after that it was really easy

243
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:48,000
and then I told myself I was going to cold call every day for the next 5 days

244
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:53,000
or 5 calls every day for the next however much days

245
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,000
and then I realized that I had to go in person

246
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,000
and I feel like that's the last stage of growth

247
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,000
because once I'm in person I can talk in person

248
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:07,000
and actually control the situation a lot better

249
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,000
plus that's like growth

250
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:15,000
and the way I did that was I made a commitment of doing it every day

251
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,000
doing it every day and that's it

252
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:21,000
and I didn't think I'm going to do it every day for the next 100 days

253
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:25,000
that is way too big of a number to think about

254
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,000
it will demotivate me

255
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:31,000
I told myself when I started podcasting

256
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,000
the reason why I started was because Russell Brunson said

257
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,000
post on your show daily for the next year

258
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,000
so instead of telling myself I was going to post every day

259
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,000
for the next 365 days

260
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,000
which would have demotivated me because

261
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,000
looking now I'm on episode 18

262
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,000
and I'm out of 365

263
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,000
it feels like I've been doing it forever

264
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,000
and I have 360 days left

265
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,000
that is not any progress

266
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,000
that number barely went down

267
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,000
so that's why I just said I was going to do it every day

268
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,000
I don't care about the end number

269
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,000
I was just going to do it every day

270
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:14,000
no 365 days in mind

271
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,000
so that means that every single day you achieve your goal

272
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:25,000
and that is such a huge, huge thing to do

273
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,000
every single day

274
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,000
just add it to your daily routine

275
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,000
and honestly

276
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,000
I'm glad that I read that

277
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,000
that blog that James Clear wrote

278
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,000
because now I'm conscious of it

279
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,000
I already was conscious of it

280
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,000
like a couple months ago

281
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,000
but now I realize, explaining it to you guys

282
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,000
how valuable that is

283
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,000
literally if you want to achieve anything

284
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,000
just add it to your daily routine

285
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,000
and I'm jealous of you guys

286
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,000
because I'm telling you exactly what to do

287
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,000
and if I heard this podcast when I was first starting

288
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:07,000
I would be so much farther ahead of where I am now

289
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,000
but I'm glad that I'm telling you guys

290
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,000
because you guys are getting this opportunity

291
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,000
so I'm giving you guys gold

292
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,000
and it's worthless if you don't pick it up

293
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,000
so pick it up and apply it

294
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,000
and really doing the routine is like the easiest

295
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,000
there's a quote that I heard

296
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,000
and it's that successful people are not really good at doing hard things

297
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:32,000
they're really good at making hard things easy

298
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,000
and that's essentially what routine is

299
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:39,000
it's really hard to make a million dollars

300
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:44,000
but if you work, that's about analogy

301
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,000
it's really hard to get jacked

302
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,000
but it's really easy to go to the gym today

303
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,000
and then just replicate that every day

304
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,000
that's just routine

305
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:58,000
it's really easy to go to the gym every day

306
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,000
but it's hard to go to the gym every day

307
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,000
for the next 365 days

308
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,000
it's easy to go to the gym every day

309
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,000
for 365 days

310
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,000
but if you tell yourself to do it for the next year

311
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,000
it's gonna be way harder because that's a really big number

312
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,000
I hope you guys understand what I'm saying

313
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,000
because this is like really important concepts to know

314
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,000
and that's exactly...

315
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:26,000
this routine is exactly how I'm gonna get to Florida

316
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:36,000
and plus me saying it on the podcast

317
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,000
is getting me accountable

318
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,000
so accountability is huge

319
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,000
I wasn't really...

320
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:47,000
before I announced to my friend and then to you guys

321
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:51,000
that I was doing this business consulting thing

322
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,000
I wasn't really...

323
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:56,000
I was doing it but I wasn't really making big gains

324
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,000
until I announced it

325
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:02,000
and then once I announced it I became more accountable

326
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,000
because I told you guys and I didn't want to

327
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,000
one, look like a wuss

328
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,000
because I didn't want to look like a failure

329
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,000
and that's huge

330
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,000
if you can announce your...

331
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,000
like announce that you're gonna do this every day

332
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,000
don't announce your goal

333
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,000
don't announce I'm going to be jacked

334
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,000
announce I'm going to go to the gym every single day

335
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,000
and then...

336
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:32,000
and then do it because you'll feel like a wuss

337
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,000
or a failure if you miss

338
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,000
and then that means that you can't miss the next day

339
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,000
or else you're gonna actually be a failure

340
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,000
if you miss one day

341
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:46,000
bad but just wipe it off like sweat it off

342
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,000
and then don't miss two days

343
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,000
don't miss two days in a row

344
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,000
that's one quote that I heard also

345
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,000
don't miss two days in a row

346
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,000
if you miss two days in a row that's the end

347
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,000
like that's terrible

348
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,000
and don't miss three days in a row

349
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,000
or else it's terrible

350
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,000
like it just don't miss two days in a row

351
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,000
don't miss one day in a row

352
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,000
which is just don't miss

353
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:11,000
but if you miss just make sure you don't miss two days in a row

354
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:19,000
and that was actually what that quote actually pushed me through

355
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,000
not missing two days in a row yesterday

356
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,000
when I went the second day

357
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,000
because I was gonna miss two days in a row

358
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,000
if I didn't go yesterday

359
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,000
but I didn't

360
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,000
and yesterday was actually when I committed to doing it every day

361
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,000
so I wouldn't have even missed a day

362
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,000
but besides the point

363
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,000
and can you guys realize that

364
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,000
I just want to bring to your attention

365
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,000
that there are so many quotes

366
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,000
that push me forward

367
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,000
and concepts

368
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,000
and it's because I read them in books

369
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,000
or heard them in podcasts

370
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,000
but that's way less effective

371
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,000
it's all the quotes that I read in the books

372
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,000
I understand

373
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,000
and I remembered them

374
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,000
I understood the concepts and the ideas around them

375
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,000
that's huge

376
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,000
that's so valuable

377
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,000
because if you can have a quote pop up in your mind

378
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,000
and actually understand what it means

379
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,000
just at the right moment

380
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,000
like right before you're about to bail out

381
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,000
and it pops up in your mind

382
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,000
and then you remember that quote

383
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,000
then you push forward

384
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,000
that's how valuable

385
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,000
that's one of the hidden benefits of reading

386
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,000
like one reading is the most valuable

387
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,000
like one of the most valuable skills

388
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,000
or habits

389
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,000
whatever

390
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,000
like things that you can do

391
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,000
but that is one of the biggest benefits

392
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,000
that no one talks about

393
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,000
having little pieces of information

394
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,000
pop up in your head at the right moment

395
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,000
just when you need it

396
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,000
and that is like

397
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,000
and even if it doesn't pop up

398
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,000
you still have a vague idea

399
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,000
or you have a vague notion

400
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,000
that that is the idea

401
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,000
and you just keep pushing forward

402
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,000
maybe you don't actually understand

403
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,000
why you're pushing forward

404
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,000
but you can feel deep down

405
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,000
that that is the right thing to do

406
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,000
and that's really because of reading

407
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,000
reading remolds your brain

408
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,000
to make better decisions

409
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,000
on a subconscious scale

410
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,000
especially

411
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,000
but also on a conscious scale

412
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,000
because you know the new information

413
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,000
but reading molds your subconscious

414
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,000
and I mean

415
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,000
I'm actually gonna look this up

416
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,000
percentage

417
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:26,000
I've never looked this up

418
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,000
but I heard this before

419
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:31,000
percentage of human action

420
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,000
subconscious

421
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,000
uh

422
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,000
oh wow

423
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:38,000
yeah

424
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,000
current studies

425
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,000
or current scientific estimates

426
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,000
are that

427
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,000
some 95% of brain activity

428
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,000
is unconscious

429
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,000
95% of your like brain activity

430
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:51,000
that is insane

431
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,000
and if you can

432
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,000
so that is essentially

433
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,000
you have no control over that

434
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,000
because it's subconscious

435
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,000
like you don't have conscious control

436
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,000
over your subconscious

437
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,000
so think about that

438
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,000
you don't have

439
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,000
conscious control over

440
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,000
95% of your actions

441
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:09,000
not actions but

442
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,000
activity in your brain

443
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,000
that is insane

444
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,000
so would you rather have

445
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,000
very bad

446
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,000
like a weak subconscious

447
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,000
which is how society molds it

448
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,000
like with tiktok

449
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,000
would you rather have a weak subconscious

450
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,000
of 95% of your brain activity

451
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,000
or would you rather have

452
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,000
a strong subconscious

453
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,000
with 95% of your brain activity

454
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,000
I would rather have a strong subconscious

455
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,000
and I've never heard anyone say this before

456
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,000
but

457
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,000
I really think that

458
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,000
reading like rewires your subconscious

459
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,000
to where you

460
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,000
simply by the fact of reading

461
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,000
you are actually making

462
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,000
you're molding your subconscious brain

463
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,000
so you can make conscious decisions

464
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,000
that's only 5% of your brain activity

465
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,000
if you read

466
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,000
you're molding all 95%

467
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,000
plus you're making conscious decisions

468
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,000
off of the new knowledge

469
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,000
so you're actually getting the full 100%

470
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,000
if you are just making conscious decisions

471
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,000
and just doing conscious things

472
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,000
based off stuff you are here

473
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,000
like there's a quote that I heard

474
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,000
if you hear something you forget it

475
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,000
if you see something you remember it

476
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,000
and if you do something you understand it

477
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,000
so if you hear something like on a podcast

478
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,000
you're gonna forget it

479
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,000
you're gonna forget most of the things

480
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,000
on this episode that I said to you

481
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,000
hopefully you pick up one thing

482
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,000
and decide to go for it

483
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,000
and that's the goal

484
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,000
and then if you see something you understand it

485
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:44,000
or not understand it

486
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,000
if you see something you remember it

487
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,000
and that's reading

488
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,000
you literally look at the words on a piece of paper

489
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,000
and you have to see it

490
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,000
but you also

491
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,000
like interpret it

492
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,000
so that like goes through your mind

493
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,000
and that's huge

494
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,000
I can't believe no

495
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,000
I mean there's probably people saying this

496
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,000
but when I was learning

497
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,000
about self improvement

498
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,000
and learning about reasons to start reading

499
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,000
no one was saying that

500
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,000
95% of your brain activity is unconscious

501
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,000
and reading helps

502
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,000
really like shape your unconscious

503
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,000
to make better decisions

504
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,000
so if you read good books

505
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,000
like nonfiction self help books

506
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,000
you are actually changing 100% of your brain activity

507
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,000
whereas if you're listening to podcasts

508
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,000
or watching YouTube videos

509
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,000
that's 5%

510
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,000
you're making 5% progress

511
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,000
if you're listening to podcasts

512
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,000
or YouTube videos

513
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,000
if you read that's 100% progress

514
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,000
man

515
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,000
I just put all of that together

516
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,000
just now

517
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,000
I've been piecing it together

518
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:51,000
over the past couple days

519
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,000
but today was like the first time

520
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:57,000
I actually put it all together into words

521
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,000
reading is one of the most valuable skills

522
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,000
that is huge

523
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,000
95% of your brain activity is unconscious

524
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,000
you guys have to understand

525
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,000
how valuable that is to know

526
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,000
because if you guys think you're improving

527
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:18,000
on listening to YouTube videos and podcasts

528
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,000
that's only 5%

529
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,000
imagine what you can do when you start reading

530
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,000
and 100%

531
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:28,000
and then once you start meditating

532
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,000
and focusing your brain better

533
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,000
to make reading more effective

534
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,000
and then meditation also heals your brain

535
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,000
and takes out the trash out of it

536
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,000
and then what happens when you start

537
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,000
reading Transurfing

538
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,000
what happens when you start

539
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,000
man there's so many possibilities

540
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,000
I'm really excited for you guys

541
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,000
you guys have

542
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,000
honestly I think that

543
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,000
I don't think I could say this

544
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,000
a week ago

545
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,000
I don't even think I could say this

546
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,000
5 days ago

547
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,000
but honestly I think that this podcast

548
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,000
is the best podcast out there

549
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,000
now I know the audio is not that good

550
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,000
and I'm still getting better at speaking

551
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,000
but I'm growing as I'm going

552
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,000
and by the time that I'm popular

553
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,000
I'll have a better microphone

554
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,000
and I'll be way better at speaking

555
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,000
because that's how growth happens

556
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,000
self-improvement

557
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,000
I really think that this podcast is the best podcast out there

558
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,000
and if you guys

559
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,000
actually want to make growth

560
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,000
like you're here to make growth

561
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,000
you're here to improve yourself

562
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,000
well then stop listening to my podcast

563
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,000
only listen to this one episode

564
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,000
that's all you need to be successful

565
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,000
this episode

566
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,000
and just listen to

567
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,000
all of my episodes

568
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,000
up to this one

569
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,000
and then

570
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,000
there are

571
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,000
2 or 3 episodes

572
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,000
episode 14 for sure is very good

573
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,000
this episode I think is

574
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,000
18 maybe

575
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,000
episode 14

576
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,000
episode 18

577
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,000
and then also there was one other episode where I talk about the 6 steps

578
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,000
of

579
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,000
self-improvement that I would take

580
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,000
that I would listen to that too

581
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,000
but I'll just tell you

582
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,000
I kind of touched on them already

583
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,000
but I'll tell you exactly what they are

584
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,000
so

585
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,000
the 6 steps of self-improvement that I would take

586
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,000
is

587
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,000
these are in no particular order

588
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,000
but I kind of tried to order them

589
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,000
where they would be most valuable

590
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,000
in that order

591
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,000
so if you want to follow them in this order

592
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,000
do that

593
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,000
but I definitely did not follow them in this order

594
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,000
and I'm not sure if this order is optimal

595
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,000
for people actually trying to

596
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,000
I just try to use logic

597
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,000
but I also know that I don't have

598
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,000
very good logic when it comes to

599
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,000
people's mindset

600
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,000
so that's one thing

601
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,000
so you can try this order

602
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,000
or not

603
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,000
so step 1 is to build discipline

604
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,000
and the way you do that is

605
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,000
you can build showers

606
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,000
cold showers are

607
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,000
literally the easiest way

608
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,000
the simplest way to build discipline

609
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,000
you don't have to go outside of your house

610
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,000
you can literally

611
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,000
in the morning time

612
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,000
when you normally take a shower

613
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,000
or at the night time whenever you take a shower

614
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,000
just do cold water

615
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,000
and at first it's going to be like

616
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,000
terrible like you're not going to want to do it

617
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,000
so just force yourself to do it

618
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,000
and every time you force yourself to do it

619
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,000
every time you don't want to do it

620
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,000
but you do it anyways

621
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,000
you're building your discipline

622
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,000
and in the beginning

623
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,000
maybe you won't only be able to do it for 10 seconds

624
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,000
that is still huge

625
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,000
even if it's one second of cold

626
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,000
that is insane

627
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,000
like that is so much discipline

628
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,000
especially if you

629
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,000
walk into it

630
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,000
because that makes it harder

631
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,000
so if you

632
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,000
have the warm water on first

633
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,000
and then you have

634
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,000
and then you just switch it to cold

635
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,000
that's easy

636
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,000
but if you already have it on

637
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,000
and you're still dry

638
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,000
and you walk into cold water

639
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,000
that is way harder

640
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,000
and that requires discipline

641
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,000
like discipline is the way that you

642
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,000
achieve anything really

643
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,000
I've focused so much on building my discipline

644
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,000
and discipline allows you

645
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,000
to actually get through all the stuff that I talked about today

646
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,000
that allows you to send your first email

647
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,000
allows you to

648
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,000
actually

649
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,000
it makes it so you're actually able to

650
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,000
cold call someone that actually makes it

651
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,000
so you're able to go in

652
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,000
to your first business

653
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,000
and talk to them

654
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,000
it makes it so you

655
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,000
lift those two extra reps

656
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,000
in the gym it makes it so you

657
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,000
actually go to the gym everyday

658
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,000
discipline is how you achieve your goals

659
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,000
discipline is

660
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,000
discipline is you can't do anything

661
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,000
without discipline you can't get out of bed without discipline

662
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,000
and

663
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,000
I mean

664
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,000
you can get out of bed with

665
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,000
that's purpose I'll talk about that

666
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,000
step two is purpose

667
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,000
well let me talk about the cold showers

668
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,000
on discipline first

669
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,000
I was super excited because

670
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,000
I was into cold showers before

671
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,000
but I had done it consistently

672
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,000
and then I stopped and then I did it

673
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,000
and then I read in a book

674
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,000
that the simplest way to build

675
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,000
discipline is cold showers

676
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,000
and literally that is

677
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,000
so awesome to think about

678
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,000
how we're already in the shower

679
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,000
and we can grow there

680
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,000
well no one has to see

681
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,000
like no one has to see you being a wuss

682
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,000
and backing off the first couple of times

683
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,000
but then

684
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,000
people see

685
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,000
that discipline that you built from

686
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,000
going back in after being a wuss

687
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,000
and staying in

688
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,000
and then eventually just

689
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,000
staying in the cold shower the entire shower

690
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,000
every single time you shower

691
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,000
people see that discipline outside

692
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,000
of the shower no one sees you showering

693
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,000
so you can grow in

694
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,000
like you can grow

695
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,000
in solitude

696
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,000
like no one has to see you growing

697
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,000
no one has to see your failures in the cold shower

698
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,000
but people do see that you're success

699
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,000
and how you grew from that

700
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,000
and people see your

701
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,000
progress move forward from the discipline

702
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,000
built from cold showers

703
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,000
they don't know it was from cold showers

704
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,000
but they think that this guy is superhuman

705
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,000
and it's all just because you did cold showers

706
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,000
like that's so simple cold showers

707
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,000
I mean if you think about it

708
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,000
a cold shower is literally

709
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,000
the easiest thing to do

710
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,000
you're already in the water

711
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,000
so it might as well be cold

712
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,000
and I'm not even gonna lie I still struggle to this day

713
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,000
I'm still

714
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,000
okay I'll let you know

715
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,000
for the past couple months I have been

716
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,000
in

717
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,000
I have been only taking cold showers

718
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,000
with no hot water

719
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,000
and only being in the cold

720
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,000
but I still even this morning when I took my shower

721
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,000
I still struggle to stay in there

722
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,000
because I

723
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,000
sometimes step out

724
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,000
and

725
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,000
it's hard

726
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,000
I'll tell you it is hard

727
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,000
it gets easier but it's still hard

728
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,000
and I've been doing this for like a while and it's still hard

729
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,000
so

730
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,000
hopefully that gives you comfort

731
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,000
it's hard for everyone

732
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,000
my friend says that it's easy for him

733
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,000
I don't believe him

734
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,000
I believe I think that it's

735
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,000
easy enough to say that it's easy

736
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,000
that's what I'm trying to say

737
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,000
it gets easier

738
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,000
and my friend has probably gotten to the point where

739
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,000
it's easy enough to where

740
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,000
it requires very little discipline

741
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,000
to where you barely notice but

742
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,000
it's still harder than

743
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,000
not doing it

744
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,000
so step 2

745
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,000
that was step 1 to build discipline and

746
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,000
cold shower. Step 2 is to gain a purpose

747
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,000
and confidence and the way you do that

748
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,000
is by going to the gym

749
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,000
so a purpose, having a purpose, basically

750
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,000
so discipline gets you out of bed

751
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,000
purpose gets you out of bed

752
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,000
and what I mean by that is discipline

753
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,000
you have to push through

754
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,000
fight your mind to get out of bed

755
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,000
having a purpose

756
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,000
gets you out of bed

757
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,000
so you

758
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,000
literally jump for joy when you wake up

759
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,000
and you want to get out of your bed

760
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,000
now that is an over exaggeration

761
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,000
but

762
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,000
having a purpose basically makes it so

763
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,000
you want to get out of bed

764
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,000
and you don't want to stay in bed

765
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,000
that's like the easiest way to explain it

766
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,000
it's where you actually have a reason to live

767
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,000
and have a reason to push forward

768
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,000
and my first purpose was

769
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,000
getting jacked

770
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,000
essentially going to the gym

771
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,000
just don't forget about the process

772
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,000
that I was talking to you guys about routine

773
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,000
don't worry about the gold, worry about the routine

774
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,000
so that's step 2, step 3

775
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,000
is increase mental clarity

776
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,000
and curing your internet addiction

777
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,000
so and the way you do that

778
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,000
is by meditation

779
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,000
now I had always not

780
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,000
meditated consistently

781
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,000
but I did meditate for a while

782
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,000
and I found some benefits

783
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,000
but it wasn't until

784
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,000
I saw a Hamza video where

785
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,000
he was saying your

786
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,000
addicted to the internet and the way you cure it

787
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,000
there's only one way to cure it

788
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,000
and it's through meditation

789
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,000
now I always had the

790
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,000
kind of

791
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,000
thoughts

792
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,000
or the subconscious thoughts that

793
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,000
curing your internet addiction

794
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,000
through meditation

795
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,000
was like that was the way through meditation

796
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,000
but it wasn't until he said it out loud

797
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,000
to where I became

798
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,000
100% confident of it

799
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,000
and just went all in

800
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,000
so that's meditation

801
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,000
that cures your internet addiction

802
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,000
improves your mental clarity

803
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,000
pretty much all around

804
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,000
and then 4

805
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,000
is freeing up your time

806
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,000
and improving your mental health

807
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,000
and

808
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,000
that's the way you do that is

809
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,000
by cutting out your phone

810
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,000
and there's many steps

811
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,000
that you should take to do that

812
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,000
I'll tell you them all right now

813
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,000
very quick rapid fire if you want more in depth

814
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,000
I'll go to my previous

815
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,000
episodes and you'll see

816
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,000
so the first is turn on gray

817
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,000
scale color filter and keep it on

818
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,000
the second is

819
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:21,000
delete all your non tool apps

820
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,000
so youtube, social media, games, everything

821
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,000
a tool app would be the notes app

822
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,000
or like a calculator

823
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,000
the third thing is remove all of your apps

824
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,000
from the home screen

825
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,000
so your home screen is empty

826
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,000
and then change your wallpaper to

827
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,000
both of your wallpapers to like a black

828
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,000
or a gray or something

829
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,000
some mundane thing

830
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,000
step 4 is

831
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,000
turn off all of your notifications

832
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,000
on your phone on every single app

833
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,000
and keep on do not disturb forever

834
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,000
the fifth thing is

835
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,000
keep your phone on airplane mode

836
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,000
and always power it off

837
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,000
like actually hold the power button

838
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,000
and slide it to the right to power it off

839
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,000
and keep that power off

840
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,000
forever and then also

841
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,000
make sure you keep your phone

842
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,000
in the basement or the attic

843
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,000
or wherever is furthest away

844
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,000
from you where you normally are

845
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,000
so that will

846
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,000
make it so you have to

847
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,000
have a huge task to use your phone

848
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,000
the sixth thing is

849
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,000
don't bring your phone places like

850
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,000
leave it at the house

851
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,000
most of the time 99% of the time

852
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,000
you do not need your phone outside of

853
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,000
your house and I'm actually

854
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,000
the school year is starting up soon

855
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,000
I'm going to email all my teachers

856
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,000
that I'm not bringing my phone

857
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,000
because they require us to put our phones in the phone home

858
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,000
so I'm going to email them and tell them

859
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,000
that I won't be putting my phone in the phone home

860
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,000
because it's going to be at home

861
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,000
it's going to actually be at home

862
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,000
and

863
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,000
never put your phone in the pocket

864
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,000
that's for many reasons

865
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,000
the main reason why I do is

866
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,000
because our phone actually

867
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,000
radiates

868
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,000
it emits radiation which damages

869
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,000
our bodies

870
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,000
but especially our balls

871
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,000
and

872
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,000
just look it up phone

873
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,000
radiation

874
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,000
you'll go into all that stuff

875
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,000
the seventh thing is

876
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,000
only

877
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,000
use your phone like once a day

878
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,000
and really

879
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,000
eventually I want to get to the point where

880
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,000
I use it like once a week

881
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:27,000
to where you just

882
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,000
check your texts once a week or something like that

883
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,000
and then

884
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,000
keep making more changes

885
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,000
as you experiment

886
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,000
but those are the most significant things

887
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,000
and I just want to say

888
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,000
I'm embarrassed that I didn't

889
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,000
make these changes

890
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,000
a while ago

891
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,000
it's just embarrassing how

892
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,000
I'm so embarrassed that I was

893
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:51,000
addicted to my phone

894
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,000
I still am kind of attached

895
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,000
to my phone where I want to bring my phone places

896
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,000
where I've never been

897
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,000
it's so embarrassing to

898
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:01,000
want to bring my phone

899
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,000
I just feel so

900
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,000
it's so embarrassing to be so attached

901
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,000
where I can't

902
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,000
do stuff on my own

903
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,000
you don't feel manly

904
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,000
because

905
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,000
you're supposed to be able to do things on your own

906
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,000
not

907
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,000
no because I

908
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,000
always want to bring my phone

909
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:23,000
and that, yeah, it's just embarrassing

910
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,000
I'm ashamed of it

911
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,000
so that's

912
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,000
step 4

913
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,000
to free up time and improve

914
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,000
mental health

915
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:35,000
also you just delete all your social media accounts

916
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,000
but if you want more

917
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,000
in depth on that

918
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,000
on all of these steps and especially that

919
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,000
particular step

920
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,000
I don't go to my recent episodes

921
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,000
I don't remember exactly what episode it was

922
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,000
but one of my earlier episodes

923
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,000
I talked about that

924
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,000
and step 5

925
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,000
is fill up your time

926
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:59,000
so you just freed up your time

927
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,000
now you fill it up for the best purpose possible

928
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,000
because if you don't fill up your time after you cut off your phone

929
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,000
you're going to fail

930
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,000
you're going to want to go back on your phone

931
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,000
so you have to fill up your time

932
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,000
for the best purpose possible

933
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,000
I've already told you guys exactly

934
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,000
why reading is so beneficial

935
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,000
and it's so beneficial

936
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,000
for so many other reasons

937
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,000
and I'm sure you guys can hear about those other reasons

938
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:23,000
and I'm sure you guys already know

939
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,000
about those other reasons

940
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,000
but that's one of the big reasons

941
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,000
that no one's talking about

942
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,000
the 95% of your subconscious

943
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,000
and just start reading nonfiction

944
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,000
and if you want a recommendation on your first book

945
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,000
always

946
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,000
and I still follow this principle

947
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,000
always choose a nonfiction self-help book

948
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,000
based off of what you want to improve at that time

949
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,000
or based off what you're curious about

950
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,000
or want to learn about at that time

951
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:53,000
so my first book

952
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,000
I was interested in improving my breathing

953
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,000
so I got the oxygen advantage

954
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,000
which teaches me how to breathe

955
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,000
and

956
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,000
I'm interested right now in business

957
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:07,000
so right now I'm reading business books

958
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,000
so always read a book based on

959
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,000
where you're at and what you need in life right now

960
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,000
step

961
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:19,000
6 is gain consistency

962
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,000
I talked about this earlier as well

963
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,000
and that's just routine

964
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,000
you just make a routine

965
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,000
it's really that simple

966
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,000
and honestly all of this stuff

967
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,000
all those six steps are

968
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:37,000
really

969
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,000
if you guys hone in on

970
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,000
each of those six steps

971
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,000
you'll get exactly where I'm at

972
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,000
way quicker than it took me to get here

973
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,000
and those are not the only things you need to do

974
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,000
but those are like the big

975
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,000
I found that these are like the core

976
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,000
pieces of self-improvement

977
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,000
or at least where I'm at right now

978
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,000
and maybe I should add a 7 step

979
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,000
and it's to

980
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:03,000
add more

981
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,000
and what I mean by that is

982
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,000
self-improvement

983
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:09,000
and I noted on this concept

984
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,000
while like this entire episode

985
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,000
self-improvement you get better every day

986
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,000
so what you did yesterday is too easy for today

987
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,000
so now you need to add a little bit more

988
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,000
that's gym

989
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,000
you progressively overload

990
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,000
if I have been

991
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,000
if I started

992
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,000
I started with

993
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:29,000
self-improvement

994
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,000
have been

995
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,000
bench pressing

996
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,000
dumbbells

997
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:37,000
20 pounds each

998
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,000
well if I did that today that would be way too easy

999
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,000
so I have to add more and do 50 pound dumbbells

1000
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,000
that's gym

1001
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,000
this self-improvement

1002
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,000
is all over

1003
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,000
so add more

1004
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:55,000
that's why I said

1005
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,000
the

1006
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:59,000
also you don't have to add more numerically

1007
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,000
you could add more

1008
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,000
discomfort so for example

1009
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:05,000
how I started with

1010
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,000
emails and then once emails got too

1011
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,000
easy the way I added

1012
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:11,000
more is by cold calling

1013
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,000
that wasn't adding more emails

1014
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,000
it was just adding more

1015
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,000
discomfort

1016
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,000
and then the way the once

1017
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,000
that got too easy

1018
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,000
I added more

1019
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,000
discomfort through going in person

1020
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,000
so that's

1021
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:29,000
I'm actually going to write that down

1022
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:31,000
because

1023
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:33,000
I'm reading off of a

1024
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:35,000
kind of a guidebook

1025
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,000
that I wrote when I was first getting

1026
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,000
into business for a lead

1027
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,000
lead magnet

1028
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,000
and

1029
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,000
I'm not

1030
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:47,000
focusing on that business right now

1031
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,000
so

1032
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,000
I'm not really publishing

1033
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:55,000
this as a lead magnet

1034
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,000
let me just write it

1035
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,000
there we go add more

1036
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,000
uh

1037
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,000
episode

1038
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:05,000
wait I'm going to

1039
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,000
note down my time

1040
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:09,000
55 minutes in

1041
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:11,000
on episode

1042
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,000
I think it's

1043
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,000
18 let me log into my rss feed

1044
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:19,000
yeah 18

1045
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,000
episode

1046
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,000
18

1047
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:25,000
podcast

1048
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,000
uh

1049
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:33,000
yeah

1050
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:39,000
yeah that's

1051
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,000
if those seven things

1052
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,000
those seven steps

1053
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,000
you just focus on that

1054
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:47,000
and since you're going to be cutting off your phone

1055
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,000
that implies internet as well

1056
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,000
you'll improve so fast

1057
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:53,000
if I read

1058
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,000
if I listen to this

1059
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,000
if I had access to this podcast

1060
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,000
when I first started

1061
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,000
man

1062
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:03,000
now it's one thing to have access

1063
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:05,000
but it's another thing to actually do it

1064
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,000
and that's the hardest part

1065
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:11,000
to actually do it so good luck on that

1066
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,000
and I gave you all the tools

1067
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,000
that you need to be able to do it

1068
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,000
you have to build your discipline by cold showers

1069
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:19,000
and routine

1070
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,000
just build a routine

1071
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:23,000
so add things into your routine slowly

1072
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:25,000
but surely and add more

1073
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:27,000
so I would first

1074
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:29,000
add cold shower to your routine

1075
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,000
do it every single day

1076
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:33,000
even if you start with 10 seconds

1077
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,000
10 seconds is still more than the 0 seconds

1078
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:37,000
you did yesterday

1079
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:39,000
and then tomorrow you do 11 seconds

1080
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,000
the next day you do 13

1081
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:43,000
there's really no rush

1082
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:45,000
especially since I just told you exactly what to do

1083
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:47,000
you're going to be

1084
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,000
so much more efficient

1085
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:51,000
quicker at growth

1086
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:53,000
ever

1087
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,000
today

1088
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:13,000
this is another reason why

1089
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:15,000
podcasting

1090
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:17,000
and finding someone

1091
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,000
at least talking

1092
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:21,000
talking to someone

1093
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:23,000
who's like-minded with you

1094
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:25,000
and or

1095
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,000
podcasting is so valuable because

1096
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,000
when I'm at the park

1097
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:31,000
with my friend

1098
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:33,000
who is like-minded with me

1099
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:35,000
we're at very similar stages

1100
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:37,000
in our growth and we're both on self improvement

1101
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,000
and we talk a lot

1102
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:41,000
and a lot of times

1103
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,000
we say things and make connections

1104
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,000
that we would never have known

1105
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:47,000
prior or otherwise

1106
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:49,000
if we hadn't

1107
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:51,000
actually spent time together

1108
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:53,000
and I'm realizing that

1109
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:55,000
with spending time at the park with them

1110
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:57,000
which is master-minding

1111
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,000
master-minding

1112
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,000
it's basically where you spend time

1113
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:03,000
at least once a week

1114
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,000
once a month, once a day

1115
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:07,000
spend time with that person

1116
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:09,000
and it's just two people in your group

1117
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:11,000
it can be like five, ten people

1118
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:13,000
if you want

1119
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:15,000
and then basically just talk about

1120
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:17,000
where you're at

1121
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:19,000
goals, progress

1122
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,000
tips, things to teach

1123
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:23,000
and all that stuff

1124
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:25,000
new ideas and connections are formed

1125
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:27,000
plus your teaching

1126
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,000
so your understanding better yourself

1127
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:31,000
it's just

1128
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:33,000
that's a huge thing

1129
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:35,000
one of the very big things that I've done as well

1130
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,000
that I never really had until

1131
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,000
I started hanging out with my friend

1132
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,000
this summer

1133
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:43,000
and

1134
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,000
now I know how valuable it is

1135
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,000
I've grown so much

1136
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:49,000
you really are the product of the five people

1137
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:51,000
you're the average of the five people

1138
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,000
that you spend your time with

1139
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:55,000
now I believe that

1140
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:57,000
but I also think that

1141
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,000
it's not the average

1142
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:01,000
because the five people that I spent my time with

1143
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:03,000
during the school year

1144
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,000
they were not on self improvement

1145
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:07,000
and I definitely

1146
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,000
was not the average of all of those people

1147
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:11,000
I was

1148
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:13,000
but I was definitely held down

1149
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:15,000
like they were tugging

1150
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:17,000
down my

1151
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:19,000
growth

1152
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,000
they were tugging me down to lower

1153
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,000
they were tugging me, pulling me down closer

1154
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:25,000
so

1155
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:27,000
that's that

1156
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:29,000
being that

1157
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,000
but you definitely

1158
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:33,000
once you do spend time with

1159
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:35,000
who are like minded with you

1160
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,000
or better than you

1161
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,000
that's where real growth happens

1162
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,000
I thought that I could just get away with

1163
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:43,000
the five average people

1164
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:45,000
rule

1165
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,000
and I could just stay conscious of it

1166
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:49,000
and not let it affect me, no

1167
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:51,000
it's not

1168
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:53,000
just that piece

1169
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,000
it's not just them pulling you down piece

1170
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,000
it's also the fact that

1171
00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:59,000
if you spend time with different people

1172
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:01,000
or actually where you're at

1173
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:03,000
that's them pulling you up

1174
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,000
so you're missing out on the pulling up piece as well

1175
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:07,000
so

1176
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,000
that's huge

1177
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:11,000
and if you can't find anyone

1178
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,000
like I didn't even know

1179
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:15,000
that this person, my friend right now

1180
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:17,000
was on self improvement before the summer

1181
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,000
and so

1182
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:21,000
what I would tell myself

1183
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:23,000
my previous self

1184
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,000
six months ago

1185
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:27,000
when I didn't know anyone

1186
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:29,000
didn't think that anyone at my school was like that

1187
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:31,000
I would tell myself

1188
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:33,000
to start a podcast

1189
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:35,000
and start talking and teaching things

1190
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:37,000
and

1191
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:39,000
even you don't even have to post it

1192
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:41,000
just add it to your daily routine

1193
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:43,000
to talk on voice memos

1194
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:45,000
or some

1195
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:47,000
some place

1196
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:49,000
just that communication

1197
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:51,000
and building epiphanies

1198
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:53,000
is so valuable and push through it

1199
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:55,000
because in the first

1200
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:57,000
day you'll be terrible

1201
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:59,000
second day you'll be terrible but a little bit less terrible

1202
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:01,000
third day you'll be terrible

1203
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:03,000
but a little less terrible

1204
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:05,000
and so on

1205
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,000
until you start getting good

1206
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:09,000
right now I think that I'm almost on the verge of getting good

1207
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:13,000
like my first episode was

1208
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:15,000
absolutely garbage

1209
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:17,000
and you can go back and listen to that

1210
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:19,000
and that was actually my fifteenth episode

1211
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:21,000
but that's a different story, I didn't post my first 14 episodes

1212
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:23,000
and

1213
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:25,000
I'm on

1214
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:27,000
episode 18 right now

1215
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:29,000
and I'm just starting to

1216
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:31,000
almost get out of the garbage territory

1217
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:33,000
and it's worth it

1218
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,000
and it's going to be even more worth it

1219
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:37,000
once I'm not garbage

1220
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:39,000
and it's going to be worth it for you guys too

1221
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:45,000
to wrap things up

1222
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:47,000
don't forget to download your favorite episodes

1223
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:49,000
and subscribe to the Ascend Momentum show

1224
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:51,000
but before you guys leave

1225
01:01:51,000 --> 01:02:19,000
make sure to remember the equals!
