So the big 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 welcome to the Ascend Momentum Show.
Welcome back everyone. Excuse me. So for the past couple days I've had low energy and I'm not really
sure why but I'm just pushing through trying to get it done, you know? So I want to talk to you
about a comfort zone challenge and how I failed one today. So in the four-hour work week he talks
about at the end of many chapters he gives comfort zone challenges and it's just tasks to do that
expands your comfort zone. And one of the first ones in that book was to hold eye contact with
people and don't break it until they break it first. And so I'd been trying to hold eye contact
with people as long as possible during class like when they're talking and there's this one
girl I sit across from who I was holding eye contact with and she would not break eye contact.
She was just staring and I was like and I failed. I actually looked away. So that's shameful. I was
ashamed of looking away, of breaking the eye contact. But you live, you learn, you grow.
So that's what happened today and then actually my brain has been so... I don't know the right
word but I've been so not fogged but it just doesn't feel optimal. My brain doesn't feel
like it's running 100%. It kind of feels like run down or tired all the time. That might be
because of all the studying that I've been doing. I don't know. But I'm learning a lot in
Transurfing and I'm really excited to finish it. I'm not even halfway done with it. I'm already
thinking about finishing but the second half in my opinion is... Well actually I don't even know
because the first time I read the Transurfing I didn't even finish the first half in one go.
And then I went back and finished the rest of the book. So I don't really remember what half
is the better half but I think that the second half is better because last night I read the last
page of the book and not the entire page but I just read the last second to last sentence and then
the a couple of the italicized phrases on the last couple of pages. And just by reading that last
page I already know that it's like valuable then. So I'm really looking forward to that. And then
also there's two... I ordered two new books from the reading list which is basically the ultimate
reading list for human beings and I ordered two new books from it. And one of them is called
Dancing After the Music Stops and I'm really excited for that book because that book is the
past three years of the author's life experience from reading all the books for the Ultimate
Human Being list and Road Trip, a three-year long road trip. And that I just read the back cover of
that book and it said something like the type of book that makes you want to quit school or drop
out of school, quit your job or even worse become a free-range non-GMO organic human being.
And so when I read that I laughed and I got really excited for the book but I'm not going to start it
until at least a month because it's going to take a while to finish Transurfing, I already know.
So there's this one thing that I try to do last night to get more listeners to the podcast. And
I basically went on Reddit and created an account and posted my podcast link on my profile and then
went on to an entrepreneur subreddit and just provided a bunch of value in hopes for people to
be like, oh that's cool, I want to click on his profile and then check out his stuff and then they
go to the podcast and start listening. But I am not going to do that. I did it for like 30 minutes
last night and I'm not going to do it anymore because it is too addicting and I know that it
will kind of screw up my mental. It'll not make me as focused.
So that's just one piece that I've been trying to do to get more viewers but that's the only thing
that I've tried to do to promote the show and it wasn't even like direct promoting, it was just
providing value to people in hopes that they would click on my profile
and see the podcast link and go on and listen. So that's not really, I mean I think that it's a
decent method to gain traffic but I don't really want to spend the time to do it. I'm just going
to rely on the algorithm to give me a bunch of traffic but I'm really looking forward to it
in the future and honestly podcasting is, it's just really fun. My friend was talking about this,
how he started podcasting like a week ago and we were talking about how fun it is and how
like life changing it is because I basically get to document my entire journey literally step by
step in real time and other people get to listen to it and like if they want copy it and they just
do exactly what I did and be successful themselves and I really believe that it's all about the mindset.
Like your worldview is huge and this is something that I've been trying to drill into my brain
for the past couple months. So and I actually needed it today. There's a lot of times today
where I would just fall asleep and get immersed in the game but I just got to keep reminding myself
what I'm here for, keep reminding myself of the rules of the game and just keep going,
keep on going, just keep putting one foot forward in front of the other and there's one thing that
I realized last night, I was reading in Transurfing the Goals and Doors episode or chapter and in that
he said he was talking about choosing your goal and choosing your right door and your goal is
your goal. It came from your heart not imposed on you by others and the door is basically the path
towards the goal. Like you can, I'm blanking on an example, all right well you can be a,
your goal could be to go to Hawaii and move to Hawaii and your door could be a variety of things.
You could just walk there, that would take a long, I mean you could swim there, I mean it's not even,
all right you could swim there, that's a possible door or you could fly there
or you could boat there, those are all different doors to that goal and if you don't have the money
to do any of that stuff then you can, he says in the book that money is an attribute so while
you're creating your path towards the goal, money will come to you in abundance so you're not
supposed to worry about the money, you're just supposed to keep moving forward towards the goal
and one thing that I realized last night and for some background towards the middle of this
past summer so maybe one or two months ago I was at the park with my friend and he had just
come back from his vacation with his family which was like one week long and he went to California
and he was surfing there a lot, he was like surfing and so he came back and he was like
do you know something that's really fun and I was like what? He said surfing and right when he
said that, that sparked something in my mind and in my brain and my heart, we're just like super,
I started to get super excited because I remembered that I used to want to surf but I've never
surfed before and so after I heard that I was thinking that's my goal, that's what I want to do,
I want to move to Hawaii and go surfing and just surf every single day and live there
so then I was focused on that and then funnel hacking live, I became aware of funnel hacking
live so then that became my second goal so my first goal was funnel hacking live and then the
second goal was surfing because funnel hacking live was going to happen quicker
and then I read on in Transurfing and he said do not have two goals, it is like you would be
swimming in two opposite directions and you can't swim in two opposite directions, it's impossible
so when you have two goals your thought energy has spread too thin and you achieved nothing
so then I dropped the Hawaii goal and I just basically said I'm not going there, I'm not doing
that, I basically told myself that and then I only focused on Florida and I just forgot about surfing
and then over time I realized that I was like lower mood because right when I
learned about surfing I was super excited and then over time I started my energy started going down
and then yesterday when I was reading the goals and doors chapter he said basically something he
said sparked, re-sparked that surfing, it was a combination of the fact that we already bought
the plane tickets and the hotel to go to Florida so we're already going to go there,
it's already a done deal so I don't necessarily have to focus on the Florida goal anymore
because we're already going to do it, it's just something to look forward to
but now I get to focus on a new goal and that's Florida so that's what I'm thinking about and then
another thing I want to talk to you about is throughout the day I find that I like my mind
starts thinking about random things and I'm asleep, I fall asleep and I'm just immersed in the game
and my mind is just thinking constantly about random things and I realized that that is such a waste
instead of thinking about random things and all of that thought energy going to waste
focus on one thing, my goal and always keep my goal in the back of my mind
so then all of that thought energy gets hyper focused into one thing, it's
so it's the equivalent of you placing a pizza out in the sun, a cold pizza out in the sun
and just trying to cook it, it's not going to work but if you create that
that kind of contraption that is very popular where you put like tin foil and like a mirror
or something like that and reflect the sun onto the pizza and have it in one like condensed
targeted location then you'll be able to
then you'll be able to actually cook the pizza and it will actually cook because
it's being focused, the energy is being focused and our thought energy is the same way,
if you're just thinking about random things all day and your mind is just talking on its own
without your influence on it, if your mind is just let off on its own to talk to itself all the time
then that thought energy will just be like dispersed throughout everywhere, you'll be thinking about
food, you'll be thinking about TV, you'll be thinking about soccer, you'll be thinking about
phone or like just random things, you'll be thinking about all that and so your
thought energy won't have enough like focus and have enough condensed energy, like focused energy
to actually focus on one of those things and manifest it into your reality so that's what
I was thinking about today when I'm just, when my mind is just racing with its thoughts,
just change the thinking to my goal, so change the thinking to surfing in Florida
and then the more and more I think about that and the more and more I run my side of my head,
the more like once it becomes background like the background thought of my head,
that's when I start moving closer and closer to the goal because there's this other technique
called the window and the frame and so it's basically throughout the day our mind just
falls asleep and does is off and releases its grip of control for an instant moment,
multiple times per day and this is like quicker than a second so in this moment if you can be
thinking about that slide, if you can think about one frame in your slide then you'll be pushed
super far ahead into that, like into that goal and there's another thing that I just remembered,
you shouldn't be thinking about the target slide because the target slide simply just
expands your comfort zone to allow yourself to actually have that and allow yourself to
believe that it's possible to actually get that but what you should do is run a slide of your
current transfer link so if you're in first grade and your goal is to graduate fifth grade well
you shouldn't be visualizing that, you shouldn't be visualizing fifth grade, you should be
visualizing finishing first grade and that's when the actual visualization actually works
and you shouldn't even just visualize that, you should visualize the process so for me my end goal
is to go to Hawaii and surf but the process in my current transfer link, I believe the current
transfer link is to check my analytics and it be a high number and then me start a coaching
coaching program or me start coaching
and then that is one that's like the first step or that's the next process so my slide would
look like me clicking the analytics button and it being a high number, let me get some water.
So you guys will, when this episode releases you guys will definitely be,
if you're listening to it the day of, then I will definitely have checked my analytics at that point
probably because right now it's the 29th of August when I'm recording and I'm going to be
going out of town this weekend from Saturday to Monday morning and then Monday I'll be back
so I'll probably check my analytics on Monday or Tuesday depending on how things turn out
so then once I see that number I'll create a plan of action from there
if even if it's like 200 views 200 downloads per episode I will still probably offer a
coaching program I'll probably just make a funnel a website and then promote that.
Now I'm trying to think because I'm going to have to wait like five days
because I'm not going to be post, I'm not going to be recording this weekend so there's going to be
like two days where I don't record so right now I have seven episodes back like scheduled
so on Monday I'll probably only have five episodes scheduled so I'm gonna have to figure out a way
to contact you guys quicker or else I'm gonna have to wait five whole days to actually promote my
like the things I want to promote like the website that I'd make to offer a coaching service
or maybe I should just create the website now and then I don't know I'll figure it out because
this is episode 43 so episode 43 will be released on like Tuesday or something like that
maybe even maybe even later I don't know and it's either Monday I don't even know
it'll I don't keep track of my schedules but it's around that time and then at that point I'll have
five episodes scheduled so then I'll have to wait until like the next weekend
until you guys actually hear me talking about what's going on it's this whole thing
there's pros and cons to me having five episodes scheduled ahead of time I like it because it gives
me a cushion just in case I forget to post one day but I don't like it because it's not like real
time it's it's like five days past so I don't know what I'll do because
I don't know I'll have to figure it out and if you guys have any opinions email me at james
at ascendmomentum.com
so a couple weeks ago or a month ago I was thinking so once I got my driver's license a couple months
ago I realized that I needed a wallet to hold my stuff and so but then I didn't really want to go
out and buy a wallet so I just left my cards in my like drawer in my closet and then every time I
needed them I just put them in my pocket and leave them in my pocket but when I went to the bank
the other day to like change my pin number for my card I I noticed that in my mini travel notebook
there's a little slot where you can actually put cards in and so that is like amazing an amazing
feature so I'm actually not going to get a I'm not going to get a a wallet I'm just going to buy
another one of these notebooks because this notebook is actually almost gone it's almost out
I'm probably three fourths away done with it and it's a small notebook so it goes quick
and I use it in like spurts so during the your first or during the your first funnel challenge
I probably wrote half of the notebook worth of stuff over five days seven or five to seven days
and then I just like didn't use it since maybe like once every couple days so it's it's weird
but recently my friend actually took a testosterone test and he got the results back
and it inspired me to want to get my own test because I want to I want to figure out what
my testosterone levels are at and so I asked my mom and she's she said she'll buy me one on my
birthday so like next month I'll I probably won't get the results back until like October around there
so I'll be getting I'll be able to check my testosterone levels
and a couple weeks ago I started taking pine pollen but then I stopped because I ate it all
I I used it all and I really want to start it again so I might buy the tincture again
well or I didn't buy the tincture the last time I actually bought the powder and if you guys have
never heard of pine pollen I 100 recommend it it's super good to increase your testosterone
and the the last time I got it I got the powder form so I could just scoop it into a drink and drink it
but it is actually the tincture is actually better for testosterone they said
so I I might get the tincture next time my friend said he's gonna get the tincture
and I want to talk to you guys about something taking magnesium before bed
my friend started taking magnesium before bed maybe a week or two ago and he said that he's gotten
good benefits and good results out of it better sleep and so I'm gonna try and get my mom to buy
me some magnesium supplement and take that before bed I probably won't get it until like this Friday
and it's Tuesday right now so we'll see
there's this one thing that has been on in the back of my mind resurfacing to my thoughts
and it's that lately I haven't really been I haven't really had much to talk about on the podcast
like a couple weeks ago I had a lot to talk about all the time because a lot was changing in my life
and I was making a lot of progress but now I'm kind of at a standstill and my life is pretty much
the same as it was like a week or two ago so I don't really know I don't know I'm kind of
kind of just stagnant right now
I'm kind of just waiting for things to happen and I'm not making things happen
so I got to figure out how to change that because I got to start living life according to my will
and shape my destiny according to my will
but my sleep has been so good lately I've been actually I'm not even my sleep has been good
except not perfect because in the middle of the night I always wake up at the same exact time to
go pee it's always at like 9 45 at 9 45 p.m. always that time and then and then I go back to bed
and this morning I woke up like 30 minutes before my alarm went and I have a sunrise alarm so
when I woke up this morning the alarm was going it was red because it gradually increases in
brightness and changes colors and so it was red and then I went back to bed and then when I woke
up again it was like about to go off in like three minutes but when I woke up I had this like
it's what I was talking about earlier how my brain just feels
tired and it just feels slow and not refreshed and I'm not really sure why but lately I haven't
been feeling like as refreshed when I wake up so that's something else I got to figure out
but I want to talk to you guys about this class I'm in
in business incubator in my in school so I'm taking a class called business incubator and
it's basically a class for entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship
and I'm taking it with my friend Franklin as well and we're both graduating early and the class is
a two-semester class but we're only taking one semester this school year so we are supposed
to get in teams of four and group up with two like three other people but we talked to the teacher
and told him the situation and we all came to the conclusion that we should just be a group of two
and then later on we went back to my teacher and asked if we could complete the entire year
in one semester so and he said yes so I'm looking forward to that and we made our teams today
officially and so we got to sit at our own table we're at our own table today
and the business that me and my friend have decided on is to be funnel builders and we
decided to build funnels for local business owners or just anyone who needs a funnel
and I was originally thinking that we would just charge uh straight up front cost
and then my friend brought into the attention that no one would pay us up front so we should
actually charge a percentage of future sales or essentially get a piece of their business
and then that sparked something in me we could go to if if that's the case we could literally just
go create deals with business owners and then literally just build their thing
and if it fails whatever no one's harm no harm no foul but if it succeeds then we can literally get
future profits from a real business and that's huge because that business incubator class the way it
works is everyone is in separate groups so separate teams and the and it's basically a competition
essentially so you're you're trying to make the most money and last year's team made like $3,000
from an entire year and so I'm thinking like we can definitely beat that if we just get one funnel
that it works decent then we've already got that in the bag and plus we're not going to build just
one funnel we're going to build a bunch of funnels because we're going to have like all semester for
this and plus we're going to funnel hacking live next month so we're going to learn even more
it's just I mean we're we're going to be unstoppable maybe my friend are partnering together on this
and the way it works is you all of your money gets sent into the your personal like I think it's
called rev track and it's basically a account opened under either my teacher's name or the school's
name and then we each team has their own individual like account under that and so you all the money
you make goes into that account and then if you make a profit so let's say at the end of the year
you have like $5,000 sitting in that account my teacher said that there's two options so
all of that money gets split up between all of the group members evenly and then
it either goes towards your college tuition or it goes straight into your business bank account
if you create a a new business like if you actually go on and become an entrepreneur and start your
own business that's huge because if we focus on this and actually work towards making
like making a decent sum of money and then we can split it and then it goes into our bank accounts
which I'm sure by December we will our business our personal businesses will have made a decent
sum of money so we won't really necessarily need that but that's cool because we would be making
money essentially by going to school which has never happened to me in my life I've never made
money going to school and I don't think anyone's ever made money going to school like at least not
normally and so this is a opportunity for me and my friend to just make money during school and also
it's not even even about it's not even about the money the money is probably we're not even gonna
like the money does not matter the reason why we chose this business model of building funnels
is because we know that that skill is a high value skill and we know that since we're going to be
choosing this business model we will grow and learn so much simply by building funnels during class
that's all there is to it that like us doing this will help us so much in the future
like this is the first time I've ever had a class where I actually think that I'll be using the
knowledge in my life like the first time probably
except for like first grade when I was learning how to read or whenever I learned how to read I
don't remember like that and learning basic arithmetic like addition subtraction multiplication
and division so I'm really excited for that
let me get some water
so
trying to think of things to talk about and that's one of the things that I'm trying to get better
at and it's to be able to get into the flow and just have things spew out there are certain episodes
in like that I've recorded in the past where I was able to just literally talk the entire time
and never have any downtime and there's also another thing so in my episodes there's a lot of
moments where I go and like get water like just then and it was a silent like it was a silent
couple of seconds and I just want I want to ask you guys if you guys want me to cut out like
remove the silence because when I first started podcasting I was intending on having a not not
edited like show like not edited at all but I kind of feel bad because there's a lot of
moments where I'm just talking and one time a couple episodes back I actually
accidentally clicked on the remove the silence tool and my episode like length went from one
hour long it's like 51 minutes so there was like 10 minutes of silence in that episode
so that's a lot and I'm not sure if I would if I was listening to an episode a podcast
and there was an a 10 minutes of silence throughout the whole thing
I'm not sure how I'd feel about that so I have two options either or actually I have three options
ignore it or like just forget about it the second option is to edit it out which I could do with a
click of a button thanks to the software and the third option is to just get better at podcasting
to where I don't even need to worry about silence because I'll just be talking the whole time so
I like the third option and I wasn't actually conscious of that option until just now when I
was talking about it so I think I'm going to take that third option but in the meantime if you guys
want me to remove the silence you should email me and tell me at james at ascendmomentum.com
all right so I want to tell you guys this one thing when I first started my business and I was
I literally spent like a week researching all the things I need to know about filing the business
choosing the right business structure all of these things
I was overstressed and I was over meticulous because in reality all I needed to do was just
file the business as an LLC and then that's it but I ended up going on Zen business and buying
like a bunch of stuff that I didn't need I spent like $500 when in reality I should have only spent
like $150 for the filing fee like all I needed to spend was $150 and then I didn't even need to
start the business or I didn't even need to actually form an LLC yet because
all I've done so far is just podcasting I haven't really done any business stuff
and I'm not really planning on it until I don't know when like in the near future because
in like 20 days I'll be in like 19 or 20 days my time I'll be 18 so then I can open a business
bank account and then actually get into business but that's like
like if you guys are looking to create your own business just I mean if you're in my situation
where you're just waiting until you're 18 until you're even gonna make money just don't even bother
filing the business and then once you start making money and actually start making sales and stuff
then file the LLC but do not do what I did and don't go on Zen business and buy like there
I bought I don't even know what I bought I bought like their pro plan and I didn't even use any of
that stuff and then I also bought their it was I forgot what the word was but it's basically the
person who receives the legal documents and I bought I paid them to be my like that person for me
even though I could have just been that person it's like I don't even know there's there's a decent
it's all you really need is to file the LLC they were marketing me like they did good marketing
that's for sure and they made it seem a lot well actually I'm not even sure if they made it seem
they were just educating me on it and I made it seem a lot worse than it was I they were talking
about how you need to have a it's required to have someone who receives the legal documents
and you don't want it to be you because if you get like subpoenaed you don't want to get subpoenaed
in your like home or at your like workplace because that's embarrassing in front of your customers
that's basically what they were saying even though I and they were also saying you have to be
present at your work at your workplace at all business hours and I was thinking like I'm I
don't want to be present and I was just thinking about like two months down the line to where
where I was going to go on vacation where they weren't even gonna send me documents anyways
honestly you don't need you need you don't need any of that all you have to do is just
file your business just don't stress and I'm gonna be honest
so I'm into self-improvement and I've been doing it for a prior over a prior round a year and
over like at the beginning of summer I saw a hams of video and he was basically saying
like the next step is starting a business and the next part of your life is starting a business and
then throughout all the different aspects of my my life I realized that I can't really
progress any further until I have more money so then I realized slowly but surely that I needed
to start a business and work on entrepreneurship so then I started reading about it and then
eventually I actually decided to start my business and that was one of the scariest things I've ever
done let me explain there is a fear a fear exercise where you basically write out the things that the
thing that you're afraid of and then explain like exactly what will happen if you fail succeed
like all these different things I learned about in the four-hour work week
and I was writing out my the reasons why I was scared to start my own business and file my own
business and it was just a ridiculous I was just scared it was just my mind holding me back
and after like four days I just pulled the trigger and actually did it
and nothing bad happened I mean nothing really good happened yet but I'm just at the beginning
of my journey and I know that it takes time for things to happen so it's not gonna happen overnight
but I'm really looking I'm really excited
I'm just the honestly a monthly like even okay let's say the beginning of 2022
you know how people have New Year's resolutions it was like December 31st and I was thinking like oh
people have New Year's resolutions I'm not gonna do that I never do New Year's resolutions
I just make my goals when I feel like them and then I achieve them but what I was thinking about
eight like nine months ago on December 31st I was thinking that oh I wish that I had tracked my
progress one year ago today so I can actually look back and see oh that's where I was one year ago
today like I wish I tracked all my stats so then I took advantage of that time and I actually wrote
down all of my stats on like I think I wrote it down on like December 1st or not December 1st
January 1st I wrote down all my stats for the new year with the intent to improve on pretty much all
of them and the only stats I really wrote down were mostly just like my lifting and my physique
and like how much I weighed all these different things that's all I really wrote down and then
I did write down my income and I wrote down my income at the end and I was thinking oh whatever
this is this is probably not gonna change but it's worth I might I might as well write it down
because I was just thinking for more I was just trying to think about more things to say more
things to write down but I actually think that I'm gonna reread that like all that all those stats
on the same day like December 31st at the end of the year and I'm gonna reread it and I'm gonna
like write down right next to it all of my new stats and I'm really excited because
like I I've never done that before have an entire year of new stats and I'll share those with you
guys when the when the day comes in like four months or three months actually yeah four months
wow four months nine ten eleven twelve four months until the next year so that means in four months
I'll be a I'll be a graduate like I'll be done with high school that's amazing I'll be an adult
in four months that's crazy where was that four months ago January February March April April 29th
I was in class probably four months ago I was probably reading a book actually four months
ago today right now I was reading let's see what was I reading it was probably like
it might have actually been reality Transurfing because I got that book in March
and I were no it was probably meditations or the way the superior man I was probably reading
the way the superior man around that wow I hadn't even read reality Transurfing four months ago
like completely and now in four months I'll be oh my gosh this is this is why self-improvement is so
great because four months ago I was like I didn't even know anything about mindset and I was just my
mind like I didn't have any control over my mind now today I have a lot more control over my mind
not as good as I want but I have a lot of control over my mind and I'm like getting a lot better
and then in four months from today in the future wow things are going to be way different
I'm in a very unique situation I'm in like I'm very grateful for my situation because I
all my life I'd been disliking school and I never really could figure out exactly why
I would always just say I'm never going to use it in life but I didn't realize that it was
a whole system like there's an actual system about it and I'm starting to uncover the truth
by reading reality Transurfing even though it's not directly talking about school
and then I already know that this reading lists this next reading list that I'm going to follow
the ultimate reading list for human beings I was reading through it and he was talking about how
you'll soon discover the truth and then his book the guy that made the reading list wrote a book
about the past three years of his experience which includes all of those books that he read on the
reading list and I like flipped through like you know how people just sift their thumb to flip
through all the pages of a brand new book I did that on his book when it came last night and one
of the pages I accidentally like landed on he was like the heading of that page was called the school
system and I like read it and he was saying that the school system is like bad but I didn't really
read it I kind of just glanced at it and saw that so I'm really looking forward to it I'll be able
to learn a lot and the thing is at the end like I already said this but the back cover of the book
said it's the type of book that will make you want to drop out of school and I have four months until
I'm a graduate but if I read this book and discover a lot of new stuff I'll be like I'm afraid because
I might want to drop out I don't know I'm not making any plans because I haven't even made
any money yet so I'm still financially dependent that's all there is to it financial dependency
is I dislike it a lot I hate being dependent on for my financials I want to be in control of my
financials that's one of the biggest reasons why I wanted to start my own business so I can make
my own money because I hate not being in control of my money because I hate worrying about spending
too much that's like the terrible it's a poor mindset let me get some water
I'm just thinking about my closet and I have a bookshelf in my closet
and I probably have like 100 books in there no not 100 books probably like less than 50 books
around 50 maybe and half of them I didn't even read and when I was first getting to business I
literally just bought all the books I looked up books for business like books for entrepreneurs
and then I just bought all of them and I only read like one of them
so that was a waste and right now I don't have any intent on reading the rest maybe in the future
but and then now I'm tempted to buy like five more books from this new reading list but I'm
not even like I'm really certain that I'll read it but I don't know I'm trying I want to try but I
keep thinking about this new reading list but I'm still not even halfway done with Transurfing
it's going to take another at least another month to finish Transurfing no at least another like
20 days at least but so I just got to lock in focus on Transurfing and that's really all there is to
it once I'm done with that then I'm really excited to be okay this is a terrible mindset that I have
right now I'm so excited to just finish Transurfing get it over with but this book has the answers
at my fingertips and I have to I should like treat it as such I shouldn't try and rush through it
like I was just thinking about how I'm gonna go back and study another hour after this episode
and try and get a little bit more of Transurfing done but yes study more but don't try and rush it
that's the mistake I made last time and I barely even picked anything up on Transurfing
but the first half of the book I studied like religiously over the past month and a half
and I've changed like my mind is shaping like it's changed so much I'm actually
it's actually helping so much and just rushing through it and reading as quick as possible
is not gonna do that it's not like I'm I'm reading it so I can change my life I'm not
reading it just to read it so I have to treat it as such that's like honestly that's one of the
biggest things that I have with reading I always read and then I search for the next book to read
right after I'm done with this one but I gotta just focus on the present and focus on this current
book and then soak up all the knowledge and information off of this current book that's all
like that's one of my biggest flaws when it comes to reading because I'm always trying to look for
the next thing but I have the answers at my fingertips and I just have to actually see them
and apply them
so my bolt score has not increased since yesterday
and but I have added I have been conscious of the exercises because there's this one exercise
I do it's a nose unblocking exercise that's the only exercise that I remember on that
and so that's the only one I do but I you're supposed to do it while you're moving around
like walking but you can do it while you're biking though it's not recommended I do it anyways
and while I'm biking it's way harder I can only do like 15 pedals
and plus I'm like way more nervous to do it because I get like lightheaded kind of
or my blood like rushes to my head and then I start to like zone out and so I don't want to
push it too hard while I'm biking because I'm in the street while I'm doing it so I don't know
but I can definitely tell that I'm starting to get better because
throughout the day I'm starting to breathe a little bit better
my breathing has become more gentle and relaxed like it should be
it's a slow process and it takes a decent amount of time to train your breath and I should know
because I didn't do it last time when I actually read the books because I read the books maybe like
a year ago and I over the past year I hadn't even trained my breath at all so things are changing
and I actually think that I desired to train my breath but I never really had the consistency
but now I actually am a lot better with consistency whenever I add something to my routine I just
do it and I've gotten a lot better for example I added so there's this medicine ball that I bought
to get better balance for surfing even though I'm not even a surfer I've never surfed in my life
but once I start surfing then that medicine ball will like I'll be at an advantage because I'll have
better balance but that medicine ball I bought because my friend told me it's very good to help
balance and so I bought it I originally like practiced by doing squats on it and then I would
just stand on it but then over the past like week or two I started walking around on it and also
standing on one foot now for some weird reason my left foot is better than my right foot at it
at standing on balancing on one foot even though I am a righty and when I play soccer I my better
foot is my right foot so I don't know but I've been I have still been focusing on that ball
that ball actually I think it's only been like wait has it only been like five days
no way no it hasn't been I'd have to go back and check maybe it's been like 20 days I don't know
but the ball I got
and now I can walk around on it I can walk all the way across my kitchen so like 20 feet is my record
and it's all about consistency consistency is one of the it's literally the best thing
for getting good at something and that's why I've been consistent for 43 days on podcasting
so I don't know it's I mean all there is to is consistency like on YouTube all the YouTubers
are like all the people who make it on YouTube make it because they're consistent they're consistent
because like they make it because the algorithm likes consistency and it rewards for that consistency
but they also make it because they're consistent practice and they're consistent
recording every day they're practicing every single day so they're getting better and better every day
so then they actually eventually are able to make that better higher quality content
unlike if they weren't consistent they wouldn't have had as much practice and so I've had 43 episodes
at least at least 43 episodes worth of practice so that's something to keep in mind it's if you can
get good at consistency and master consistency then I mean there's no way you can fail like
