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 Ascent Momentum Show.
Welcome back. So this is the last episode I'm going to be recording before I go to Funnel Hacking Live.
So I leave tomorrow morning at 3.30 and I have to wake up at around like 2.00 I think.
So it's going to be an early morning, but I'll get through it.
I'm going to take a couple naps, a few in the car and then a few on the plane.
But I really think that this week will be a game changer.
I think that this week will be really good for me.
And for context for you guys, I haven't been keeping up with my podcast.
I'm going to Funnel Hacking Live, which is a business conference for entrepreneurs.
It's like a four day live event in person.
There's like 5,000 people in attendance.
So it'll be fun and it'll be awesome.
But in preparation for that, I actually finished reading Transurfing yesterday.
The book, Reality Transurfing.
The book that I've been reading for the past two months, I just finished.
Just in time to start The Lynch Pin, which is a book by Russell Brunson.
And the reason why I'm starting this book right now is because it's a fairly quick read.
I feel so I could read it before, I could read it within like a day or two.
And I only spent like 30 minutes on it so far and I already finished like 1 1⁄8 of it.
So it's not going to be that long of a read.
I'll probably be able to finish it on the plane if not at the hotel tomorrow.
But the reason why I'm reading it is because Russell Brunson wrote it and he is going to be teaching about that.
The Lynch Pin is basically one of his frameworks and it's an essential framework for structuring your business.
So that's why I'm studying it before so I can get some background information.
And I probably should have studied it like a lot earlier but this is how it happened.
But I want to talk about just life in general.
I don't know if it was just from me getting more and more better at meditation or transurfing, understanding it a lot more,
or just a combination of the two.
Because for the past couple months I've been reading transurfing for the second time through.
And now I'm actually applying a lot more of it in real life.
Because the first read through, it was really just me destroying all of my limiting beliefs and it was just destroying my worldview.
It was mostly just a read of, is this even true?
Instead of, okay I'm going to implement this.
I was mostly just reading if it was true or not.
But basically I see the functionality of my first time reading it as me actually believing it.
And then the second time through me actually knowing it.
Like actually taking action and applying the principles and actually seeing them as real.
And actually putting them in my brain as knowledge and not just beliefs or information.
And that's what I've been doing.
Like I've been waking up, I've been a lot more present, falling coordination a lot more.
I've been doing a lot more things.
And I don't know if it was that, like it was probably just a combination of them all.
But over the past couple days I've just been looking at the world a lot differently.
And there are moments when I basically fall asleep and I lose my guard.
I lower my guard and then I start going into negative thoughts.
But those moments are fewer and farther between than they used to be.
And so I'm like, and I always catch them fairly quickly.
And I actually really like how I'm looking at the world now because before I kind of just felt trapped.
I didn't really know what to do.
Like I didn't know, I didn't even know how the world worked.
And I didn't know how I was going to achieve my goals.
And I didn't know if my goals were possible.
And I didn't really have as big of a vision as I do now.
For example, maybe like a year ago, I wouldn't have even known it was possible to become a millionaire.
Or at least for me.
Like obviously it was possible for others, but I don't know about me.
But now like my beliefs in my worldview is changing so much.
Now it's not, is it possible?
It's when is it going to happen?
And I'm just like waiting for the mirror to go like start reflecting an image back.
Like because there's a delay period period.
And like I've been completely changing my mental outlook because now I realize just how important your thoughts are.
Because your thoughts first of all, when you kind of let your thoughts go free and you react to physical reality,
there's no real benefit for you to reacting to physical reality.
Like there's no benefit to react negatively to your world.
But there's an immense amount of benefit if you control your thoughts and send your image out first,
that you would like to send the image in your thoughts that you would like to see first.
And then let it stream into physical reality.
Like that actually has a benefit.
And then I also want to talk about energy because there's this one epiphany that I kind of came across.
I don't know if it was today or I don't know, but I kind of just in passing came across this thought where
in Transurfing towards the end, he actually said,
you have to like direct your energy into a thought.
Like you have to direct your energy into something for it to become streamed into like streamlined into physical reality.
And this is what I was thinking about.
There are energy exercises in Transurfing like the fountain exercise where you imagine your energy going up and down your spine through your meridians
and then creating a fountain over and under your head enveloping you in a sphere of energy.
So that energy exercise me and my friend Franklin actually did like very consistently for like months.
And I can't speak for him, but I can speak for myself on this regard.
I was doing that exercise, but I wasn't directing my thoughts.
My thoughts were still like uncontrolled.
So I've kind of came to the epiphany that doing that energy exercise is not going to help you.
It may even hurt you if you don't control your thoughts because your thoughts.
Okay, so the way it works is you take in energy and then you program that energy through your thoughts and then you like release that those thoughts that programmed energy into the universe.
So if your thoughts are already negative, then you're going to be sending out negative energy.
But if you increase your energy through doing those exercises and don't control your thoughts, then you're basically going to be sending out an increased expenditure of energy output.
So you're basically going to be sending out more and more energy outwards like negative energy.
So that may even be to your detriment.
So that's why the negative or the energy exercises you should focus on as a supplement to controlling your thoughts.
Controlling your thoughts should be your utmost priority and then you control and then you work on increasing your energy.
And that's a mistake that I made because I was increasing my energy through doing those exercises.
And to be honest, I don't even think that I really felt any more energy from using those exercises.
But I wasn't controlling my thoughts and I was just kind of... that extra energy was probably being wasted.
But now what I'm doing is I'm actually controlling my thoughts a lot more.
Now I have this new perspective that when you clean up your thoughts, if you ask people, what's your thoughts like?
Are they random, scattered? Do they just have a mind of their own? Everyone will say yes.
And there's this thing that I... this conclusion I came to is a person's world layer is a reflection of their thoughts.
That's the principle of Transurfing, the mirror principle.
But you can actually see... you can actually take a peek inside of someone's thoughts, like their worldview, everything that's going on in their head.
You can actually take a peek inside of that simply by looking at their physical reality.
If their physical reality is exactly what they want and it's very orderly and they feel like they're in control of it,
then they're in control of their thoughts.
But if they feel like they're the victim of circumstance and they can't really get what they want, then they're not in control of their thoughts.
So if you simply just take control of your thoughts, then you'll be able to actually fix your physical reality.
That's another thing. So I found extreme benefit by visualizing my slide in meditation.
And I did it for like a few days and then I stopped for a few days because I wanted to focus on getting to focus 10.
But then I realized like it's actually beneficial, it's actually way better to visualize than not.
And so I went back into visualizing it.
But then for the past like one or two days, probably like two or probably past two days, I haven't been visualizing because I've literally been like asleep
or like passed out during my meditations because I've for yesterday, I believe it was no Friday and Saturday.
I did double episodes and yesterday I had a one to the gym and I did some like for the past like two or three days,
I have been getting to bed like 30 minutes late.
And for context, I go to bed at 630 like literally 630 every single day and it's very consistent.
And I went to bed at 7 for the past like three days because I was like up late editing the past couple episodes of the podcast.
And it actually messed me up.
Like it's actually so crazy how much 30 minutes of sleep affected me.
Like it didn't really, I could definitely tell like my energy levels were lower throughout the day.
But I could especially tell in my meditation because usually during my meditation, I'm like awake the whole time.
And it's just a matter of me getting like my body to be asleep, getting a matter of getting my body to fall asleep.
But the past couple days, I've literally just been asleep except for nighttime.
Like the morning and afternoon meditation sessions, I've been asleep like the whole time like until he calls you back.
So I'm like, well, it's a 30 minute meditation and I'm awake for the preparatory process.
But then once it's like a quiet period, then I fall asleep and then I wake back up like towards the last like 10 minutes, probably.
And so I'm like asleep in my meditations and it's not very optimal.
So I don't know what I'm going to do move forward because tomorrow I'm going to be waking up like extremely early.
But I will have like four hours on the plane to take a nap.
So that's going to be very good.
And there's also another thing like I am going I'm still a senior in high school.
So I'm still in school right now.
And this is going to be especially amazing experience because I'm still in school and I'm like getting over all these limiting beliefs of this like current worldview that's been placed upon me.
And I'm getting over all of these like this like worldview that is holding me back.
And the fact that I'm going to be in Florida on my own, well with my friend, but basically on my own in Florida during school.
Like it's it just shows that you can escaped.
You can escape the rat race.
Like you can control you have the choice like you can control your own destiny.
Like when I was when me and my friend were first like thinking of doing this, we both like had no.
We didn't even think it was going to happen to be honest.
And even today, like even right now as I'm speaking, I still can't even think I can't even fathom of the idea.
Like it still does not feel real.
Like to be honest, I am not excited simply because I don't know how to get excited because I can't even comprehend of the idea.
It's so far out of my worldview that I can't even get like I can't even comprehend it.
But tomorrow's episode like episode 71 seven through like 76.
I'm all going to be in Florida.
I'm going to be right now when I'm recording this episode.
It's the 25th of September.
I believe this episode goes live on the second of of October.
So that gives me five days.
I believe five days to five or six.
Okay, so for the next like five or six episodes, if I find the time like I'm going to try and find the time I'm bringing my microphone.
I'm going to use my friend's computer.
I'm going to try and find the time to podcast because I have a priority system right now.
So in my current routine, I basically have no time to do anything else.
I basically have to do my routine and then I go to bed and I just repeat it.
Like I have no time to do anything else.
And that's my current routine with school and school only lasts like four hours.
But I assume fun lacking live will be probably like eight hours every day.
I assume it's going to be very long every single day.
And so I'm going to have to like prioritize certain things that I do every day and every morning in my routine.
I'm going to have to prioritize things and figure out what is number one.
And for me, number one is podcast.
Number two is meditation.
And then I'm probably only going to have enough time to podcast and meditate.
Like I really, as long as I get at least one session of meditation every day and then one podcast every day,
I'm going to be a happy camper because that will be enough to document the journey at Florida.
And that's like only two hours because it takes one hour to record 30 minutes to meditate.
I would meditate first and then record and then about 30 minutes to like edit.
But that's pretty much like the plan for Florida.
And to be honest, there's this one thing that I was thinking about because for the next,
it's probably going to be different during fun lacking life because there's going to be a lot of guest speakers,
not just talking about like business.
But my original, this is one of the things that I was struggling with early on in this show where whatever
book I'm studying at that moment, like whatever book I'm reading at that time of recording will greatly affect
how the episode plays out.
And so my original, like this show is meant to be a self improvement show.
And I see entrepreneurship as a self improvement show, but I kind of feel a little iffy talking about business
because I'm not, I don't really know who my dream viewer is like my, I don't really know who I'm speaking.
I don't know who is listening to this.
I don't know where you guys are in your journeys.
So I'm not sure if business will be beneficial to talk about.
So that's kind of where I'm at with that.
But I think that it will be fine during fun lacking life because the speakers are going to talk a lot about mindset.
So I'm, I think I'm going to pick up a lot about that because I remember going to the five day your first funnel challenge.
And that challenge, there was like two guest speakers every day.
And they all talked about mindset.
It was just only mindset.
And that was amazing.
Like I learned so much just from that.
And so I assume that there's going to be 30 guest speakers and I believe that they're all going to be talked about mindset.
But that's like, that's where I'm at with that.
My one mistake that I made when I'm when I bought my ticket was I bought a checked bag, a carry on bag.
Yeah, I bought a checked bag and a carry on bag when I only needed just a checked bag because you get a free like carry on a free person item, which I'm going to be using as well.
But honestly, back to what I was talking about how my current book influences what I talk about.
It's very evident and it may be evident in the upcoming days until I go back to like these worldview books.
I've been reading because I have been reading Transurfing for the past two months.
So I've had something to talk about for the past like 60 episodes, probably it was Ben.
I've had something to talk about Transurfing for the past 60 episodes.
I haven't really I like right now I'm just reading the linchpin and I just started it.
So I'm not really sure like what to talk about.
Actually, I'm just going to give a lesson on the linchpin.
So far, what he's saying is your business you have to have continuity.
You have to have reoccurring reoccurring payments because if you just have like single time purchases,
then you're not going to be able to scale your business.
And also when you want to sell, you're not going to be able to sell it for that much.
And one change that he made was he was originally doing webinars and having his like on the thank you page of the registration,
he would like send them to like buy a book or something just like a $37 to $99 offer.
And that would kind of recoup the ads advertisement spent and then whatever he sold on the webinar would just be profit.
But what they changed was on the second after the on the thank you page, they actually got the people to start their free trial.
So that sends them to create a free trial.
So that is gets them into their continuity like reoccurring payment subscription.
And then on the webinar, it's also an upsell into a big continuity package like reoccurring payment.
So that is kind of where I'm at with just chapter one of the book.
And again, I'm going to be reading the rest of the book over the following days and I'll be getting the lessons learned from Russell Brunson himself in person.
So that will actually be something I don't know.
Honestly, there's a few thoughts going through my head with that.
One thought is when I am sitting in class like in a lecture, I don't remember anything.
But then so I'm kind of thinking if I'm sitting in funnel I can live I'm not going to remember much.
But then again, there's two differences in class.
I don't want to be there funnel I can live I want to be there in class.
The teachers teach kind of they just say things.
But at funnel I can live they're going to be telling stories and stories is exactly how you like remember things.
So that's kind of that's what I'm thinking with that.
But I'm actually right now my current plan once I'm done with the lunchpin and once I'm done with being in the once I'm done with what what is funnel I can live once I'm done with funnel I can live when I get home.
My current plan is to dive into these 180 books. The ultimate reading list for human beings something that I've been talking about for probably the past like month and this reading list is something I really want to get into and that's my current plans right now.
But I have a suspicion that my plans may change after funnel I can live because I'm probably going to want to read more about business and I have a feeling that funnel I can live may completely shift my mindset again into going into business like learning more about business because right now I'm not doing anything for business other than podcasts and I'm not doing.
To be honest, I'm not really sure if I even have enough time to do anything for business.
But then again that is kind of just excuses.
Because I definitely have time throughout the day.
It's just I decide to prioritize different things for different reasons.
So I could absolutely free up like a few hours every single day. For example, one change that I'm going to make right away when I get home from Florida is instead of biking all the way home after school to eat and then bike all the way back to the gym.
And then by comb.
I'm just going to go straight to the gym from school and then bike home and then eat.
That will be a change and that's definitely going to save probably like at least 30 minutes to my day just from the bike and from.
Yeah, just from the bike ride because that's like two less bike rides that I'd have to do.
Yeah, two less bike rides and it takes about like 15 minutes.
So yeah, it would save me 30 minutes. And then another thing is I like there's one thing that I've been thinking about a lot lately right now.
I feel as though going to the gym is like it's taken away from business.
Even though I did like lower my gym time by a lot like I'm I used to go to the gym seven days a week and now I'm going to the gym four to five days a week.
I go to the gym three days on two days off.
But I stand I have like even cut down my gym time once I'm there to like literally like 25 minutes to 30 minutes.
And I still feel as though it's still taken away. So there's one thing that I had heard from my friend saw Hamza video.
One of my other friends actually not the one that I usually talk about one of my other friends told me about what Hamza said.
He said that when he was focusing on entrepreneurship, he was only going to the gym once a week just to maintain because he wanted to focus all his time on entrepreneurship.
And he was just going to the gym once to maintain and not not lose his muscle.
So like I heard that when he said that like a month or a few months ago.
And I was like no I'm not doing that I'm going to have it all but I'm not sure if you can actually do that.
So I don't know I've been trying to have it all.
But like I said I'm not doing anything for business except for podcasting which is very good that I'm podcasting.
I feel as though this will help me a lot but I don't know it's there's there's still like a lot that I could do.
But the thing is I'm not even sure if I magically freed up like five hours a day.
I'm not even sure what I would do like when I was first getting into this like a couple months ago after I read all of Russell Brunson's books.
I was like flowing with ideas I had so much ideas like if you look back in my notebook a couple months ago.
I was like writing idea after idea after idea and then now I don't even know like where I would start.
But I could if I just sat down for a few minutes I could like figure out where to start.
I could figure out like the most optimal way forward but the thing is I'm not even sure I'm not even sure if it would be the most optimal way forward because I like I've been one quote that I remember from
Transurfing is people who are not listening to their hearts are not makers and I'm saying maker with a capital M like that's the creator creative your world.
There are people who don't listen to their heart are not makers they are making mistakes and that's one of the one of the very impactful quotes that I heard and he said it towards the end of the book probably like the last chapter.
So that just shows like how important is to listen to your heart and I'm not really sure like how to listen.
No I'm just making excuses I just have to sit down and figure it out.
Figure out what to do moving forward and if you like if you guys have any product ideas or no not practically ideas if you guys have any like problems that you're experiencing.
That you think I could solve.
Email me James at a sentimental.com and if I see enough of enough people having the same problem then I would solve it and now this is assuming that this is me assuming that people are more people are actually listening to this show.
Which I haven't checked my analytics in a few weeks so I don't actually know how many people are listening to the show.
So could be a lot could be a little could be no one.
But this is like this is another like this is what I'm talking about.
I don't know what to talk about right now and I haven't even I was just reading Transurfing yesterday and I don't know what to talk about.
Usually I would talk about exactly what I learned in the book today.
But I didn't read Transurfing. So I'm going to have to figure out some other source stream of information to talk about.
So I don't just have like terrible episodes where I'm just kind of mumbling along.
But I just figured out something to say this morning I actually went fishing with my dad and we went up to Lake Michigan and we were we were at this one part.
I think it's called Mentros Harbor or Mentros Bay or something like that. It's basically a harbor where a bunch of there's a marina right near it.
And we the first time I went fishing I've only been twice so far the first time and today.
But the first time we went we went to the same spot except the way that it is is it's kind of like a double sided.
Let me explain. So there's land on one side and then there's the lake and then there's land.
So there's kind of like this little island in the middle.
But we were on the outside. We were not on the island.
That's when we were on the outside. No fish and my dad decided that we should go on the inside this time.
And it was like a very windy day. It was pretty chilly.
I was wearing a sweatshirt and I was kind of shaking. I was shivering a little bit towards the end.
But all around us is pretty good experience.
And we were there was this one spot where I was sitting and I was sitting on this kind of like mini lighthouse where it was like a dock.
But it wasn't for ships. It was just a dock that extended out for the lighthouse.
And then the lighthouse was like it was on a foundation of cement that was like raised above the dock.
So I climbed up to that foundation of cement and I would just sit there and I mean I was fishing but I was I don't really consider what I was doing today fishing.
I was kind of just sitting there enjoying the the experience that the day I was sending out my the line but I wasn't really worried too much about a fish.
If if my line got a bite then I would obviously but I've never caught a fish even today.
I didn't catch a fish but I was sitting on the lighthouse and I was just looking out in the lake and the view was amazing.
So I could see the entire city on the right side and then I saw the entire lake and I couldn't see the other side of the lake because it's like Michigan and it's huge.
So I couldn't see the other side of the lake and the waves were very like they're crashing about they were even crashing like almost up to where I was.
So they were very like wild and rapid but I was looking out and where I was standing it was very cloudy and it was like storm clouds.
It was windy and it was kind of drizzling but it wasn't really raining that much.
And then so I was sitting in this like darkness kind of just enjoying the views a very awesome view just watching this the waves crashing just sitting there.
And then I was looking out in the distance like towards the other side of the lake that I couldn't even see. It was like bright.
It was a very sunny on the other side so it was such an awesome thing.
It was so cool and I didn't have my phone because I don't bring my phone places so I didn't bring my phone with me but I would have taken a picture of that.
That would have been awesome. But I'm glad that I didn't bring my phone because it's I wouldn't have had the same experience.
That's that's what I noticed when I have my phone. I'm not present and even if it's powered off but if it's in the proximity then I'm like subconsciously thinking about it and it's subconsciously affecting my thoughts and my actions.
But that's I want to I want to talk about meditation because meditation has been so valuable for me.
I was I was I've been meditating for the past like couple months very consistently multiple times a day and I was able to experience that thing today at the lighthouse at the lake.
And I was I was able to experience that and especially now that I have this new understanding of the world.
It just was a it was a surreal phenomenal experience because even when I was driving towards even when we were driving to that spot when we were on the car ride there I was like looking out and the world.
I just see the world so much more different even though I've been I've seen all of these places before I just looked at them differently.
They just seemed different when I like when I was going today and it just kind of goes to show that I am like moving towards my goals even though I can't really see them.
Even though I can't really see the changes and I am like definitely my worldview is definitely changing and like my lens on life is definitely changing because I was like in awe just looking around at the outskirts of the city.
It was pretty sure as Lakeshore Drive in Chicago and it's like amazing looking out at the beaches and all the green the grass the lake like all of that stuff.
It was at like seven in the morning seven thirty in the morning Monday morning.
There's few people out.
It was awesome.
That's another thing just to completely shift the topic.
I want to talk about how most of my podcast I've been having a five episode like cushion.
I've episodes scheduled to have the time but right now for the past couple of days I've been having a seven episode cushion simply because I wanted to prepare for the funnel hacking live just in case I can't.
I can't upload for some reason or record.
And I actually think that I want to maintain a seven episode cushion because it's I feel like it would be a better experience for you guys.
Now let me explain when I was when I had the five episode cushion it would I would say like today's Monday but the episode wouldn't even like go live until like Sunday or something like that.
Or Saturday.
So if you guys are listening live like well like whenever it's released then it would be hard harder to keep up with that when is five days but seven days.
I can say it's Monday and then you guys will be listening on Monday if you're listening right when it's released.
So you'll listen on Monday and then you'll just have an understanding that it's one week in advance.
So I think that I'm going to maintain a seven episode cushion because five episodes is fine.
It's good but I feel like it's unnecessarily confusing.
Seven episodes would be better.
But meditation.
I have still not been able to get a breakthrough in my meditation.
I'm just waiting for the day to come where I have a breakthrough.
And honestly I haven't even been really reading much about the gateway experience recently because I haven't really had.
I haven't been at school in like since like a couple days and I usually read it during school because I what else is there to do at school.
Nothing.
So I usually read about it at school but I haven't read about it in a little bit.
So maybe I don't know.
I think I have enough knowledge to achieve focus 10 because right now that's my goal focus 10 because then once I get focused 10.
I can move on to focus 12.
And that's what I really want to get to focus 12 and 15 so I can manifest and visualize.
And I assume it's simply just practice.
You just got to keep getting at it because there was this one woman that I talked about that I read about on Reddit.
She was she is a Buddhist and she had been meditating consistently for 14 years.
She was probably only able to get focus 12 once without the gateway tapes.
And then once she got the gateway tapes she was able to achieve like the she was able to complete the whole course and get like focus 27 or whatever the last focus level is within like three months.
So she had a very strong foundation so that allowed her to actually like move on to the higher focus levels.
So I assume that it's simply just creating a very strong foundation and that's what I'm doing.
But I've actually I've been focusing on the wave one which is focus 10 but for the past like day or so for the past like three or four meditations.
I've been doing the introduction to focus 12.
For some reason I just wanted to change things up even though focus 10 the intro or the free flow focus 10 is more than enough.
And it's probably more optimal to do that anyways.
So yeah, I'll probably just go back to that.
And there's one thing that I was thinking about doing because I only did the like the introduction, the first tape on the whole set like wave one, the first tape.
I've only done that once and but all the rest I've done multiple times.
And so I'm and also when I first did number one, I was a brand new beginner at the gateway tapes and now I've been doing the tapes for almost two weeks now.
Tomorrow will be two weeks into the gateway tapes.
And so I'll have a lot more experience so I think that I might actually completely restart.
Yeah, I'm actually going to do that tonight during my nighttime meditation session.
I'm going to restart the tapes completely.
I start at number one, the introduction, which doesn't even get to focus 10.
It just gets to focus three and it's like the they basically introduce you to Hemisync.
So I'm going to do that tonight because I want to actually restart it now with the better knowledge because I feel like I was kind of just rushing through it originally because I wanted to just get focus 10 over with and then get to focus 12.
But it obviously it obviously takes a little bit more work than that.
So I'm going to restart it and a plus it'll be a benefit because I want I'm definitely going to be giving the headphones and the CD player to my friend a few times this week to let him use it because he's never used it before.
And I feel like he would like it a lot.
So I'm definitely going to be letting him borrow that, especially since he's going to be letting me borrow his computer for like an hour and a half every day.
Hopefully we haven't like set up schedules yet, but I'm definitely going to be prioritizing that like that's my biggest priority getting that done.
But man, this episode has been like the first episode in like a long time that I haven't really had anything to talk about.
So I guess this is part of the journey, like having dry spells, like not really knowing what to talk about.
But I'm going to have to figure out a solution to this quickly because I assume that I'm going to have so much to talk about over the following week, like over the next five days.
But for the time being like today, and I don't want it to get back to this when I get back from Florida.
So it's kind of just like me just talking about random stuff.
You know, I'm just going to explain some Transurfing because when in doubt, go back to Transurfing.
Then reality Transurfing, that is the probably the most foundational book that I've ever read.
It basically explains the way the world works and how to like how to kind of maneuver yourself in that in the environment of the world and maneuver yourself in such a way to where you can actually gain more control than you otherwise.
Would not have had.
And I just learned about Transurfing six months ago.
And it's absolutely changed my life. Only six months. I'm only 18. I have my entire life ahead of me.
And I'm definitely going to be reading about it a lot more in the future, especially because the first book that I'm going to be reading when I get back, my current plan is the my current plan for when I get back, I'm going to be reading a book called Dancing After the Music Stops.
Now I'm going to be reading seven books at once, but that's a whole thing.
But one of the books is going to be called Dancing After the Music Stops. And in that book, it's a guy who actually discovered, he read that entire reading list that I was talking about.
It was actually the person who compiled that reading list, the 180 books, the ultimate reading list for human beings.
He compiled it. He said Transurfing is the foundation to that reading list and the foundation to life.
I bought his book. I read the introduction. And I actually read the Table of Consents and he has an entire chapter dedicated to reality Transurfing.
So I'm going to be reading more about it in that book.
And plus another, okay, this is actually huge because I was actually worried that I was going to kind of, all of my Transurfing knowledge and mindset and worldview was going to atrophy.
Because when I first read Transurfing, the first time through after I finished, I kind of just forgot about it slowly but surely.
And like my actions definitely affected, were definitely going back to my old habits.
But I just kind of switched to business books and I didn't really think about Transurfing at all or read about it anymore.
But what I'm trying to, when I, my current plan of the books I'm going to read in the future, when I get back from Florida are, I said I was going to have seven books because there's a reading method that the guy who wrote Dancing After Music stops who also compiled the reading list.
He said that if you pick up seven books at once, read one until you lose focus and then switch to the next and then repeat that.
And then interspersed with pushups every once in a while.
And you can like read a book a day using that method.
So apparently that method is extremely efficient at reading books.
So I'm definitely going to be trying that out and I actually have, I already have the first two books in that seven books set.
One is called Dancing After Music stops which I just talked about.
Another is called Die Wise.
But I already bought those two. They're already here.
But there's five more that I'm going to be reading.
And one of them is called Toofty the Priestess. And it was basically, it's another book by Vadim Zellin about Transurfing.
And it's my friend, Rhett, listened to the audiobook and he's basically saying that he basically said that it's like how to actually apply it and how Vadim Zellin would actually go about applying that Transurfing technique in real life.
So I'm definitely going to be still learning more about Transurfing, especially because it's going to be in Toofty the Priestess, an entire book dedicated to Transurfing by Vadim Zellin, the person who actually coined the term.
But also, or the person who's the author of the book, Reality Transurfing, but also in Dancing After Music stops, there's a chapter about it.
So he's probably been referencing it throughout the book.
And in the second set of seven.
So the way it's going to work is I'm going to get seven books and then, like, as books are finished, as I finished books, because they're probably not all going to get finished at the same time.
As I finished books, I'm just going to replace them with a new one.
And what I'm thinking of doing is when I finish Toofty, I'm going to replace it with It-Foot, which is basically like the prequel to Toofty.
So that's another Transurfing.
And then eventually, depending on where I'm at, I'm going to replace It-Foot with... depending if I actually feel I want it or not, I'm going to replace It-Foot with the 78 days of Transurfing.
And I'm pretty sure that would be all of his books.
There might be another one that I'm missing, but...
Because currently, I've only read one of his books, but there are like three other books. Toofty, It-Foot, and then 78 days, Beginner's Guide or something like that.
And I've only read one of his books twice and it's changed my life.
So it just makes sense to read the rest of his books.
And I assume... like, Mike...
Alright, so let me explain this.
There's something that I discovered.
For the first, like, year of me reading... or no, let's say first six months of me reading, I was really just reading about mainstream stuff.
Even... no, even like the first year, like my entire time reading, I've only been reading mainstream.
Like, classic books.
Like, How to Win Friends, Influence Others, Way to Superior Man's Breath, The Oxygen Manage.
All these books are just... like, they're good books, but they're just normal, basic books that most people read.
But one of the reasons why I'm so excited about this reading list is because these books I've never even heard of before, and they're not mainstream.
They're like... they're definitely kind of esoteric, I think.
Now, I've never heard of them before, so that's not to say that they are not mainstream.
But they're not, like, classic books that I've seen on anyone's reading list.
Like, Hamza's reading list, MJ DeMarco's reading list.
All these reading lists that I followed when I first...
Because when I first started getting into reading, I would follow other people's reading lists.
So I had a basic idea of many different books that are kind of common amongst all of these people.
And this ultimate reading list, like, has the first hundred books, none of them are, like, common.
But, like, the last, like, 80 books, a lot of them are common.
So, like, the way the Spirit Man is in that, like, 48 Laws of Power, I read half of that.
I didn't really like it, but that's in the ultimate reading list.
So I'm gonna, like, read the first hundred books, for sure, because those I feel are the most valuable.
And then the last, like, 80 books, I feel I'm gonna read, but not... like, they're not... maybe not.
I don't want to make a whole plan for 180 books, because that's a lot of books.
I've only read, like, maybe 30 books so far. I've only been reading for a year.
But with this new reading method of... this reading method of reading a book a day, then... I don't know.
Maybe we'll see how... we'll see.
Especially because in December, literally, when I get back from Florida, it'll be October.
So October, November, December.
Literally, like, two and a half months, and I'm graduated. I'm done with school.
Because I'm graduating early for a semester.
So I already have a half day, but I'm also in two and a half months, I'm out of school.
I have so much more time.
And if I can get, like, a lot of books in...
I mean, honestly, what I've been doing for the past year of me just getting so much books in and reading so much books
has absolutely changed my life.
And I haven't really done much.
Like, just reading Transurfing twice changed my life.
Even though I haven't really done much.
Just reading The Secrets Trilogy once by Russell Brunson changed my life.
Even though I haven't even done much. Like, all I've done so far, the only thing that I actually took action on consistently...
Like, I've taken action on... I built funnels before. I've built some stuff.
Like, I actually went in... Reading those books caused me to expand my comfort zone because I wanted to build funnels for others.
So I went through that whole comfort zone challenge of going into businesses.
So that, like, helped that change my life as well.
But the biggest thing that's changed my life is this podcast.
I haven't made a single penny off of this podcast.
And it's changed my life.
If you record 70 episodes, once one episode every single day, for 70 days...
Like, even less than 70 days.
Even on, like, day 50 or 40 or 30, I knew that...
I knew how valuable it was because I'm actually starting to find my voice.
And I haven't had really anything much of value to speak on for this past hour.
Yet I was able to fill up the time with a lot of different tidbits of knowledge and a lot of different things.
That is simply because I've practiced 70 times.
I practiced 70 times.
And it also helps reading.
Like, learning a lot.
Like, I probably would not have had nearly as much success with this podcast on a personal level as I have had if I didn't read as well.
Because all of these episodes, like, there's eight episodes simply dedicated to one book, Transurfing.
I've recorded eight episodes dedicated to Transurfing.
That's a lot.
And a lot of episodes, like, I'm pretty sure, like, probably 80% of my episodes I've talked about Transurfing.
Maybe even more.
And so that book is amazing.
Like, if you guys have not even bought it, what are you doing?
You gotta go buy it right now.
I actually want to tell you a story about how one of my friends...
He actually is a junior.
So I'm a senior, he's a junior.
And he has been...
It's evident that he's been on self-improvement for quite some time.
Maybe like a few months, maybe a year.
I don't know.
I don't know his story, but it's evident that he's been on self-improvement.
And I am ahead of him, but I am a year older than him.
So let me explain.
He...
Okay, so actually, I'm ahead of him in current time, but he's actually ahead of me.
So when I was...
Let's compare me to him at the same age.
So let's trans...
Let's teleport me back one year ago today, and then compare that person to him.
He has read a bunch of books already.
And he just started transurfing.
I didn't start transurfing until like six months ago.
So I wouldn't have started transurfing for another six months.
But he is six months ahead of me on that.
So he is definitely going to have a lot of progress because he started reading transurfing a couple days ago.
And I can already tell that many things are changing in him.
He is definitely changing as a person, and it's very good.
Because one of his friends that I don't really know, but I saw him, but my friend Franklin knows him.
And he came up to us and came up to Franklin and said like, hey, what's up the other day?
And then it would have been awkward if he didn't say hi to me.
So he was like, hello.
And then I'm just going to say it's George.
George is the person's name of the person who's on self improvement who's ahead of me, but not really.
That I was just talking about.
And he was like, hey George brainwasher.
So that is the fact that he said that.
It's just extremely evident that I'm really excited for like that just shows how valuable transurfing is.
Because I've just told George about transurfing.
That's it.
And I don't know.
So take that story with what you will because I basically forced George to, I basically went on Amazon for him and then had him purchase it with me standing in front of him.
So if I could do that with you, I would.
So just get transurfing.
