1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,240
This will change your life.

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:09,560
Alright, so if you guys have been avid listeners to this show, you'll know that I did not do

3
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:11,440
my intro.

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:17,000
And usually I have like a 30 second intro in the beginning of every single episode.

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:23,840
And that's because when I first started podcasting, I was, I started because I read a book called

6
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:30,640
Expert Secrets and in that book Russell Brunson actually went through and talked about, you

7
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:38,480
should start a podcast and then he actually gave like a example introduction.

8
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:43,480
And it was the introduction that I have at the beginning of every single episode.

9
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:50,480
But I'm actually at a business conference right now called Funnel Hacking Live.

10
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:59,200
And it's actually funny because I just, I just learned about Russell Brunson's books

11
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:05,440
and click funnels and all that stuff a few months ago, like three months ago, I found

12
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:06,780
out about this stuff.

13
00:01:06,780 --> 00:01:16,000
And now I'm in Florida, like a thousand miles away from my home on my own with my friend.

14
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:21,000
And I'm at a business conference, which is actually amazing.

15
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,160
Already yesterday I was unable to record.

16
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,000
So it's been, I've been here two days now.

17
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,960
So yesterday was the first day of the event and tomorrow will be the second, or no, yesterday

18
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:37,560
was the first and today is the second and then tomorrow is the third.

19
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,880
But I'm halfway done with today's actually.

20
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:51,960
So we had, I had, we got here at 8.30 in the morning and it's currently 1.50 right now.

21
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:59,400
We're just at lunch and I'm going to be honest, we don't really have any Tupperware or anything

22
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:00,480
to pack lunch.

23
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:08,600
So we basically brought three packs of carrots and a pack of dates and some butter.

24
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:09,600
And that's it.

25
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,400
That's where we're eating all day.

26
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,680
So today's a low calorie day for sure.

27
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:24,560
But I'm, I was going to record today during dinner time, but my friend wanted me to record

28
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,440
during lunch instead so he could record during dinner.

29
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:33,280
So I'm, I just did it because I'm at the mercy of his decision because I'm using his computer

30
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,320
to record.

31
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:42,720
But I want to talk about immersing yourself and surrounding yourself with like-minded

32
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:43,720
people.

33
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:51,720
So in my life at home, I'm always, I'm kind of like an outlier.

34
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:56,160
So if you've ever heard of the 1%, then that's us.

35
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,040
We're like the 1%.

36
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:06,600
And at home, I'm like on self-improvement and I'm doing all this stuff like I'm reading

37
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,880
books, going to the gym, all this stuff.

38
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,200
And no one else is doing that.

39
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:18,960
So all like 99% of the people that I surround myself with on a day to day basis are not

40
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:24,440
anything like me and they don't really do anything that I do.

41
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:33,600
But today or over the past couple of days, I've actually been at Florida and my friend,

42
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:39,080
I have one friend that is, well I have a few friends, but one friend who's in a similar

43
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,280
place to me and he's on self-improvement.

44
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:50,680
He's working on business and his name's Franklin and me and him went to Florida.

45
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:58,840
And it's actually crazy how, like how eye-opening and how life-changing this experience is because

46
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:07,400
we grew up in an environment of just middle class.

47
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:08,720
And so that was our mindset.

48
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:13,160
Our mindset was you had to work long hours and you had to work for someone else.

49
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:21,120
But at this event, I've already met like four or five millionaires just like that.

50
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:27,880
And like people here are just normal people, but they're just people who are going after

51
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:35,360
their dreams and it's amazing because I have conversations with people and you would never

52
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,680
even expect that they're like millionaires.

53
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:38,840
They seem like normal people.

54
00:04:38,840 --> 00:04:42,920
If you look around in the crowd of the event, there's like 5,000 people here.

55
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,640
And most people, they just look like normal people.

56
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:52,240
And so that it just shows, goes to show that anyone can become a millionaire.

57
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:58,560
And actually on the first day of the event, there was one guy that we sat next to.

58
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:03,600
His name was Gary and we didn't really talk the whole time because we were just paying

59
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,440
attention to the event and listening to the event.

60
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,880
But at the end, we were talking to him and he asked us what we do.

61
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:18,400
He told him and then we asked him what he does and he basically runs a spa.

62
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:27,840
So he's got like a local brick and mortar shop, just like a spa and he makes like 10

63
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:31,880
mil or I don't even know how much like 5 mil a year.

64
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,760
It's absolutely insane.

65
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,720
And he was just a normal dude.

66
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:45,640
And then we were talking to him a lot more and he actually said like, you got to just

67
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,720
never work for another person.

68
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:55,000
Always work for yourself because he told us a story where when he was just graduated

69
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,800
high school, so when he was still in high school, he basically had two dads.

70
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,280
One was his biological dad, his father.

71
00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:05,600
And then there was another who was his uncle.

72
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:12,160
And so his father was, he would work for someone else and he didn't really have that great

73
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,160
of a life.

74
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,440
But his uncle was an entrepreneur, a business owner and he had an amazing life.

75
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:23,920
So what Gary did was he actually listened to his uncle's advice and actually followed

76
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,960
into his uncle, like everything that his uncle said to do.

77
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:34,520
And then what happened is once he was graduated.

78
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,560
So he went through high school and then graduated.

79
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:41,560
He never worked a single day of his life for somebody else.

80
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,960
And he literally just hustled.

81
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,320
So the moment he graduated, he would become like a salesman.

82
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:57,500
So he would walk door to door and he, at the beginning it took him like 100 knocks.

83
00:06:57,500 --> 00:07:04,480
So he would knock 100 times on 100 doors or no, it would, he would knock on way more

84
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,360
doors, but a hundred people would answer.

85
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:12,080
So every hundred people that answered the doors and he actually had a conversation with, he

86
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,880
would get one sale.

87
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,480
And then he kept on doing at it.

88
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,920
Like literally every single day he would knock on hundreds and hundreds of doors.

89
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:25,280
And towards like every single day it would go down to 80 and then 70 and then 60.

90
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:30,360
And then after a while he was able to knock on two doors and get one sale.

91
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:37,040
So that's like a simple thing that he did, consistency and hard work.

92
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:42,760
Discipline and consistency is literally all that he had in order to become great at sales

93
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,040
and make a lot of sales.

94
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,440
And I want to relate that back to the podcast.

95
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:54,200
I'm literally being consistent and I guess it's hard work to record one hour every day,

96
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,360
which I don't think it's very hard, but some people think it's pretty hard.

97
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,800
So that's consistency and hard work.

98
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:06,560
And then after a little bit you'll get better and better and better.

99
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,440
And then eventually you'll actually make it.

100
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:15,960
And then we were talking about it a lot more and then he said that the best habit to have

101
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,200
is to read books.

102
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,400
And then he said, make sure that you're reading the right types of books because it can mess

103
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,200
you up if you don't read the right types of books.

104
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:30,080
He actually talked about a few books, but he basically said that if you create a habit

105
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:40,880
to record or read and study for one hour a day, then you'll basically be guaranteed success.

106
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:47,280
And he actually, when he was looking at the guest speaker lineup for this event, he actually

107
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:52,400
went through and looked for the best speaker and found the best one and then bought their

108
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:58,320
book and he just sat, locked himself in his room for two days straight, didn't do anything

109
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,080
except for read that book.

110
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,960
And then he read that book and now he's well prepared for this business conference.

111
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,960
So reading that, and that's also goes with consistency and hard work.

112
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,080
Like most people don't want to read.

113
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,840
And so if you can stay consistent, read every day for every morning, which is what I've been

114
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:15,840
doing.

115
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:23,560
One of the, one very good marketing thing is to confirm people's suspicions.

116
00:09:23,560 --> 00:09:28,720
On my way to Funnel Hacking Live, over the past couple months, I've developed a lot of

117
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,840
good habits.

118
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:38,440
For example, I would read like an hour every morning, I would podcast an hour every afternoon.

119
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:47,080
And I would have all this consistency and reading and podcasting and a lot more different

120
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,080
things.

121
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,400
But I kind of had suspicions that I was on the right path forward, but I didn't know

122
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,080
for sure.

123
00:09:54,080 --> 00:10:00,240
And after yesterday and today, I know exactly that I know that I am actually on the right

124
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:07,160
path forward because yesterday there was one speaker that talked about short form videos.

125
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:15,960
And so he basically said that if you create, if you like basically post a TikTok every

126
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:22,120
day or post a short every single day, just like a 60 minute short every single day, then

127
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:23,920
eventually you will actually make it.

128
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:31,800
And so that is, I essentially knew that principle, but he went like deep into like his exact

129
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,920
journey, like his, he actually showed his graph.

130
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:40,800
So for two months, he was actually like losing followers.

131
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:45,000
And then that was like the first two months of him posting a short every single day.

132
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,240
And that was probably because he sucked at it.

133
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:53,760
And in the beginning, he like, he was so bad at like recording those videos.

134
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,000
And so it took him two months.

135
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,640
And then after two months, he was even, he broke even.

136
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,920
So he was gaining the same amount of followers as he was losing.

137
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:05,320
And that's probably because he picked up a little bit more skill to where people were

138
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,720
just like neutral with him.

139
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:12,680
And then on like the fifth month, I'm pretty sure it was the fifth month, his like account

140
00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:14,040
skyrocketed.

141
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:20,000
And his, there is on the graph that he showed, there was two lines, one line for unfollows

142
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,720
and then one line for new follows.

143
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:28,760
And the unfollows line was all the way on the, it was kind of like steady throughout the

144
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:36,240
whole time, but the follow line was low for the first two months, a little bit higher

145
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:37,600
for the next two months.

146
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,880
And then it just skyrocketed on month five.

147
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,520
And I'm on episode 72, so it's been like two months.

148
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,160
So right now I'm in the suck phase, like I'm in the sucky phase.

149
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,880
And then soon I'll shift and I'll hit a point where I'm actually going to start gaining

150
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:53,880
followers.

151
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,240
And then eventually I'll hit a point where I'm going to skyrocket.

152
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:04,120
And I understand that it's not going to be the same graph for everyone, but I feel like

153
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,640
I'm very glad that he showed that graph because right now I'm in the first two months, I'm

154
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,680
just two months in.

155
00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:19,440
And it's very, it gives me some ease and some like a little bit more understanding to know

156
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,640
that it took him five months to even get results.

157
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:33,640
So I don't feel bad about not having like all the way, not having that much results yet.

158
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:38,880
And with that said, I actually haven't checked my analytics in a couple of weeks, but that's

159
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,680
another thing I want to talk about.

160
00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:47,640
Today, another lady was speaking and she was a YouTuber, she's a YouTuber.

161
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:54,240
And she started in like 2019 and she actually showed her whole journey.

162
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,800
She started in like September or October.

163
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:04,400
And in like the first month, she like was pretty bad.

164
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:05,960
And it's always like bad.

165
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,800
And then she would post like once a week and then she'd get better and better and better.

166
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,040
The more practice she had that she posted once a week.

167
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:18,560
So she actually gave me so much insights, her speech was the best that I've, it was

168
00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:24,720
exactly what I needed to hear because she basically went through and talked about her

169
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:25,720
progress.

170
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:32,960
And she also said that the first three seconds were the most important of your videos or

171
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,560
podcasts or whatever your show is.

172
00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:41,200
And that's why I cut out my introduction because my introduction was just 30 seconds

173
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:42,200
of stupid.

174
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:47,360
Like, I was just speaking for 30 seconds mundane and it was stupid.

175
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:53,160
But that's why you need to capture everyone's attention within three seconds.

176
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:54,160
So that's my new rule.

177
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,360
That's why I had a hook in the beginning of this episode.

178
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:04,280
I tried to hook your attention so you would stay in and watch the whole episode.

179
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:08,160
And another thing that she said is don't ask people to subscribe.

180
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:14,560
Ask people to subscribe at the end and also at the end, send them to another video on

181
00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:19,400
your, on your show.

182
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,880
So that's one thing that I'm going to implement.

183
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,880
Send them to another video on your show.

184
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:30,160
And she basically went through and showed exactly like many different strategies on

185
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,200
how to find video ideas.

186
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:37,200
So one thing that she said was you create a dummy account.

187
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:43,040
So basically you go on YouTube and create a brand new account that is like a dummy person.

188
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:49,320
So it's a fake person, but it, that person represents your dream customer or your viewer,

189
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:50,320
your listener.

190
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:57,880
And then you basically like, I don't really 100% understand the concept just yet.

191
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:04,680
I have to go look at the replay if the replays are available.

192
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:11,600
But pretty much what I understand is you watch YouTube as your like viewer, your dream viewer,

193
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:16,200
and then you would go through and like look at all the suggested videos.

194
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,440
And then you would like see if your video is suggested.

195
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:25,480
And then on your video, you would look at the suggested videos and then you would figure

196
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,360
out what they're doing and basically model them.

197
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,560
And then you can find a bunch of video ideas from that.

198
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:39,280
But that's like, that's just the, just two speakers.

199
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:45,560
And there was like, probably, I think there's probably like 15 speakers already, I bet.

200
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:50,240
And yesterday we were, the keynote speaker was Jaco Willink.

201
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,880
So I was listening to Jaco Willink.

202
00:15:54,880 --> 00:16:00,120
But I want to also talk about another thing called the new thought movement.

203
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:05,200
So this is something that Russell Brunson was talking about on stage yesterday.

204
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,600
And this was his like first speech.

205
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:14,000
So basically he said that he's been treasure hunting for the past year.

206
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:19,560
So basically what that means is he was flying around the world looking for like documents

207
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:26,440
and artifacts and all kinds of books and stuff like that, that he could purchase that relates

208
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:27,840
to the new thought movement.

209
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:33,520
Now, what the new thought movement is, it's a, it's basically like reality transurfing.

210
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:38,680
So if you've been listening to this show, you'll definitely know what reality transurfing

211
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,040
is.

212
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:45,360
And if you don't know what it is, it's basically a method of thinking.

213
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,240
And it's, it actually, reality transurfing is a book.

214
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:56,040
So transurfing is basically it relates to how you perceive the world, your worldview,

215
00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:01,880
your attitude towards the world, your thoughts, your everything that goes on in your mind

216
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,640
relates to transurfing.

217
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:11,200
And the new thought movement is basically that it's like a movement that started in 1850s

218
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:17,960
where people actually realized that the way you think actually affects the course of your

219
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,560
life.

220
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:25,600
And it was very like awesome to see that Russell Brunson has actually been looking into this

221
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,680
stuff and he's like going deep.

222
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:32,680
And he's like starting his own library and he's building his own library in his house

223
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,200
about the new thought movement.

224
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:39,200
And the fact that he is getting so deep into this stuff really confers my suspicions as

225
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,000
well because I'm going deep into this stuff as well.

226
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,840
And I know that I'm on the right track now.

227
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,600
But that's pretty much the new thought movement.

228
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:58,440
And he actually had a few books or he listed like nine or six people.

229
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:03,080
I don't know the exact number, maybe eight people that are revolutionary.

230
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,680
And he said that he's going to be talking about it a lot more.

231
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,080
Now let's talk about this one quote that I heard.

232
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:15,320
The billionaires of tomorrow are building their brands today.

233
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:24,360
And that is, that makes a lot of sense because if you look at Mr. Beast, Mr. Beast is a billionaire.

234
00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:29,880
And he has spent like the past probably like 10, I don't even know how long he's been on

235
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:36,640
YouTube, but he's spent the past like half a decade or a decade on building his brand

236
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,840
and creating YouTube videos.

237
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:45,080
And now he's building like, so now that he has this huge audience, huge follower base,

238
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:50,080
and like this cult following, he's got like a hundred, he's got more than a hundred million

239
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:51,240
subscribers on YouTube.

240
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:58,600
Now that he's got all of these people that follow him, he can build businesses and like

241
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:05,040
basically use that audience and promote that traffic, all that traffic towards that business.

242
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:11,640
And that's why he's been so successful because he launched a burger chain, Mr. Beast burger.

243
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:18,240
And he basically just promoted it on his show, on his YouTube channel and it became an overnight

244
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,240
success.

245
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:24,880
Like thousands of people flew across the country just to get a burger from a fast food joint.

246
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,920
Like that is an insane thing.

247
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:33,400
And then he launched another chocolate bar company.

248
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,920
And once again, he followed the same process.

249
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:45,480
He leveraged his like traffic, all of his following his channel to send it to the, send

250
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,560
all of them to buy candy bars, chocolate bars.

251
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:55,920
So and now like he's a billionaire and that's exactly like what Elon Musk does as well.

252
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,600
Like no one cares about Tesla.

253
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:02,360
I mean, people care about Tesla, but on Twitter, like people follow Elon Musk.

254
00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:05,560
Like Elon Musk is so much more entertaining than Tesla.

255
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:10,520
That's why so many people followed Elon Musk, but not necessarily Tesla.

256
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,080
So basically the billionaires of tomorrow are building their brands today.

257
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:20,600
And now I know I'm on the right, on the right path forward because that's exactly what I'm

258
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:21,600
doing right now.

259
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,760
I've been working on this podcast for quite some time and I plan on working for quite

260
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,520
some more time.

261
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:34,400
And also another thing that I want to talk about is I realize now that I need to be making

262
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:35,400
shorts.

263
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:41,280
So I kind of was brought, this was brought to my attention a while ago because when I

264
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,880
first started recording my podcast, I was actually recording shorts as well, but they

265
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,240
weren't necessarily linked to the podcast.

266
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:55,000
They were just kind of separate things and they were TikToks, but I didn't post any of

267
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,000
them.

268
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:01,720
And I did this for probably like six days and I would record three podcasts a day for

269
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:02,720
six days.

270
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,000
But I got like 19, not podcasts.

271
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,920
I got TikToks.

272
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:12,160
I basically recorded like 19 TikToks.

273
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,160
And then I kind of stopped because I felt that I wasn't going to be able to keep this

274
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:22,920
routine up because I wanted to focus on like the big mover like podcasts.

275
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:27,320
I wanted to focus on the podcast a lot more and I didn't think that I would be able to

276
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:35,160
be consistent at both at the beginning at least and I definitely planned on starting

277
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:40,320
shorts again in the future once I basically became proficient at podcast, not necessarily

278
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:46,560
proficient at podcasting, but consistent enough for a decent amount of time to where it's

279
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,000
easy to do it.

280
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,120
So for example, when I first started going to the gym, it took some willpower to go to

281
00:21:52,120 --> 00:21:58,160
the gym for the first few weeks or months and then eventually a positive feedback loop

282
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:02,800
formed and then going to the gym actually became like pleasurable and I actually wanted

283
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,160
to go to the gym instead of not.

284
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:13,880
And so that's basically why I dropped the shorts because if you record shorts, then

285
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:19,920
it would take a little bit of time to actually get like the positive feedback loop rolled.

286
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,560
And then I was doing shorts and podcasts.

287
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:29,080
So that's basically, it would take, I didn't want to risk dropping them both.

288
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:34,240
So I just dropped the short and then focus on podcasting so I could build that positive

289
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:40,160
feedback loop and then eventually I recorded the podcast or eventually now I'm going to

290
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,440
start the shorts.

291
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,320
I definitely plan on starting them.

292
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:50,360
I don't know when I'm going to start them, but I definitely plan on starting them soon

293
00:22:50,360 --> 00:22:55,800
because yesterday one of the speakers that I was talking about earlier was talking about,

294
00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:03,720
he was talking all about the shorts and how if you post a short a day, it'll like absolutely

295
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:09,120
revolutionize your business and everything like that.

296
00:23:09,120 --> 00:23:18,280
So I think that instead of just posting on its own short like I did on my like when I

297
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:24,120
first started, I'm going to post like maybe I'd have to figure out how many I want to

298
00:23:24,120 --> 00:23:25,120
record.

299
00:23:25,120 --> 00:23:29,880
I'd either do one or three shorts per day.

300
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:34,040
So I'd have to figure that out depending on how long it takes to do it.

301
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:39,240
I don't want to spend, I would want to do this during my editing because I already have

302
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:45,320
to do like spend like 30 minutes editing the podcast because it takes like 30 minutes for

303
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:54,760
the software to actually automatically like reduce the background noise, level the audio

304
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:59,360
levels and all that kind of stuff and then actually download it and then post it takes

305
00:23:59,360 --> 00:24:07,040
like 30 minutes at a time. So if I just right after my podcast, I actually plan on doing

306
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:13,560
a short based off of what I just talked about because this is what Hamza does.

307
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:22,040
So Hamza is a YouTuber that I used to watch that is basically a role model to me and my

308
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:28,880
friend actually showed me his channel again and showed that he's making longer form videos

309
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:37,000
and then he is taking little concepts from that video and then turning them into a short.

310
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:43,960
So he basically creates a long like hour and a half long video and then gets like nine

311
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:49,640
or three, I don't know the exact number of shorts that he gets out of that, but he basically

312
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:54,240
gets a few shorts out of that long video from that video.

313
00:24:54,240 --> 00:25:00,840
So basically if he was talking about like going to the gym and lifting weights for 90

314
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:07,720
minutes in the video, he would basically create a short about one specific topic that he talked

315
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:14,480
about in that video and that would allow him to basically post that short and then drive

316
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:20,680
traffic from the short. So he get a lot more views on the short and then all the traffic

317
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:25,240
that he got from that short at the end of the video, he would actually have a call to

318
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:30,840
action to go watch. He said like, if you like this, go watch the full unedited like full

319
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:37,160
length unedited video and then he would like give a link or something like that. So that

320
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,040
is basically like his strategy and I was aware of that over the past couple of weeks, but

321
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:46,520
I never really implemented it until a lot of times when you hear something, you don't

322
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:55,720
implement it until like you hear it again. That's what happens a lot. And then for example,

323
00:25:55,720 --> 00:26:02,240
my dad told me to read the book called the alchemist and I understood that it was a good

324
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:10,400
book, but I didn't actually implement it until I, well, even then I heard it again on the

325
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:15,200
Hamza's reading list. I saw the alchemist on that and I still didn't implement it, but

326
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:20,320
then I implemented it. It took me like a little bit longer to actually implement it. So I

327
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:25,000
had to wait for the actual opportunity to present it itself. And in that specific case,

328
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:34,200
the opportunity was me in class. We, in my English class, we have 30 minutes to do independent

329
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:39,840
reading or 20 minutes every Monday and Friday to do independent reading. So that was the

330
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:49,640
opportunity. So usually you, it doesn't, you don't, what am I trying to say? Like I originally

331
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:56,960
saw this strategy on Hamza and I didn't implement it until, well, I actually haven't implemented

332
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:02,120
it yet, but this is the second time that I saw it yesterday when that speaker talked

333
00:27:02,120 --> 00:27:05,840
about it and he actually gave us a book all about it. So I'm definitely going to be reading

334
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:11,800
that next. And that, that's the thing. And before Funnel Hacking Live, I created this

335
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:18,640
whole plan of books to read next. And I was conscious of the fact that Funnel Hacking

336
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:24,280
Live will definitely shift me and I may not want to read these books next. And so I decided

337
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:31,080
to just wait. And then once I got to Funnel Hacking Live, I am just waiting for like the

338
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:37,440
next books to present themselves. And what I ended up doing is we actually received a

339
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:45,280
book for free. It's called Create, Don't Capture. And I forgot the author's name, but

340
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:49,960
I'll definitely be, I'll definitely know the author's name as I read it, but that's the

341
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:55,640
next book that I'm going to be reading. And basically, like my, in essence, my plan is

342
00:27:55,640 --> 00:28:02,000
to incorporate all of these strategies. Like for now, like now that I know the first three

343
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:07,640
seconds is the most important in your video, I'm dropping the intro. Like that's stupid.

344
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:12,160
And I already had suspicions to drop my intro like the other day, I was talking to my friend,

345
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:16,600
I was like, should I just drop my intro? It's kind of stupid. And then today I'm definitely

346
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:21,960
dropping it. And then another thing is I'm going to add a hook to the first three seconds

347
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:28,120
of my video because hooks are essential because if you don't hook their attention, they won't

348
00:28:28,120 --> 00:28:34,600
listen to the video. And then after every single video I'm going to be while I'm editing,

349
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:42,560
I'm going to be recording a TikTok or like a YouTube short or something like that. And

350
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:49,680
I haven't decided whether one or three or two, I don't know, but that will help drive traffic

351
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:57,520
to the podcast. So that's huge. And then what else is there? We were talking, Jaco

352
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,880
Willink came last night and he was basically talking about extreme ownership and taking

353
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:09,640
100% ownership of your business and all your failures. So I really liked him and I might

354
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:19,440
read his books, but probably not for a little bit while. But tonight, okay, so Garrett J.

355
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:25,440
White came and one thing that, okay, let me just talk about this. One thing that I really

356
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:32,800
noticed is throughout the whole event, I was thinking I want to be on that stage, like

357
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:38,960
not necessarily fun-hacking live stage, but I want to be on a stage. And I was thinking

358
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:45,560
that I grew so much over the past couple of months just from doing like comfort zone challenges

359
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:51,400
and like just a bunch of stuff. I grew so much over the past couple of months. And then

360
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:57,760
I remember like a year ago, if I were to think about like even talking to a stranger, I would

361
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:04,440
like be nervous. But now I'm actually having like aspirations of being a public speaker

362
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:10,280
and doing all this stuff. But I don't know. And then I want to talk about the business.

363
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:15,040
I'm sorry, this episode is going to be a lot about business because that's like the mindset

364
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:20,320
I'm in right now because I'm at a business conference. But I want to talk about the business

365
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:26,680
because right now the theme of this year's event is called the Lynch Pin. And it's basically

366
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:33,240
all about continuity. So it's like a membership service. So anytime you have a recurring revenue,

367
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:43,360
so that be like if you are subscribed to like Netflix or just like any subscription or membership

368
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:49,720
service. And then even if you're like on Amazon, there's like options for if there's things

369
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:56,620
that you can get multiple times, like let's say you buy toilet paper, there's an option

370
00:30:56,620 --> 00:31:05,240
that says subscribe and save. That's continuity, that's recurring revenue. And that's basically

371
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:11,680
what I'm like. That is what I definitely am going to be moving forward on because I know

372
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:18,640
that continuity is everything in business. Because this whole event is tailored to get

373
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:28,560
us to want to do continuity and basically focus on continuity. So also networking is

374
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:35,120
a huge piece of business events. And one thing that I realized is when I'm networking, when

375
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:40,120
I first came here, I was like, I'm not really doing anything. But now I realize that what

376
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:45,160
I'm doing right now for business is I'm just focusing on my podcast and trying to find

377
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:52,280
my voice. And I keep on telling people that I'm podcasting and finding my voice and then

378
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:58,760
waiting for like the path to present itself and waiting for something to happen. And that's

379
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:04,920
basically what I plan because I know that once I find my voice and actually the speaker

380
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:14,400
today was saying that step one to creating like a membership or a continuity is to have

381
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:19,440
like a small following like of 100 people or like a couple hundred people. That's literally

382
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:25,920
easy. I don't know how many people are following me right now. But last time I checked it was

383
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:34,120
seven. So like if and like 100 people is not that much like you see people with millions

384
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:41,280
of followers. So 100 is simple. And actually, a few of my friends when they used to do YouTube,

385
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:49,160
they had like 100 followers. So it's not that difficult to get 100 followers. That's basically

386
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:55,960
the first step to creating a continuity like membership program. And then after that, you

387
00:32:55,960 --> 00:33:02,280
basically create your program and then you send all of your people to that program. So

388
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:09,400
that's basically I've been waiting for things to happen in my podcast. And now I'm learning

389
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:14,000
a lot of tools to be proactive and actually get things to happen on like actually get

390
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:19,160
move the move the wheel forward and get things to happen. Like many different small things

391
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:24,320
I'm starting right now is the shorts and then the hook cutting out my intro. All these things

392
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:30,960
are small things that are happening that will help me move forward. And also, I know that

393
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:35,280
once I have like a decent following, I'll be able to ask people because a lot of one

394
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:40,160
of the biggest concepts is asking your client what they want like asking your dream customer

395
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:45,720
what they want. So I'll basically just create an episode. And like I've actually been doing

396
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:54,120
this in the past where I dropped my email and I'm like, everyone who is like if you

397
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:59,760
have a problem, then email me and then if there's enough people who have the similar

398
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:05,400
problem, solve it. And that's like that's also what I was thinking. Once I get enough

399
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:13,120
people, I think that the one of the first steps on the path is creating a coaching program

400
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:20,560
because having a coaching program, Hamza did a coaching program and he was able to learn

401
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:26,560
a lot because if I have like a bunch of people and then I do a coaching like individual one

402
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:31,840
on one coaching, then you can basically have like one on one sessions with people and then

403
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:37,320
you'll like be able to learn what they want. And then you'll be able to learn exactly all

404
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:43,880
the problems they have. And then you'll be able to see like common themes. That's that

405
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:53,320
was actually my strategy a couple, actually a couple weeks ago was once I checked my analytics,

406
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:58,440
my strategy was if I had a high number and a lot of people are listening, I would offer

407
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:06,960
a coaching program and then promote it onto the podcast and then I would like coach five

408
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:13,760
people, see a common theme and then solve it. And now I'm figuring out like more better

409
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:21,640
ways to solve it because continuity is an extremely good like continuity is everything

410
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:28,120
in a business. But I'm sorry if this episode is not like as great as the other episodes

411
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:32,520
because I am sitting outside in Florida and there's a bunch of people around a lot of

412
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:38,080
distractions. And but this is like the best that I could find. This is the best spot that

413
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:44,920
I could find. And I'm like tonight is going to be awesome. I'm pretty sure Gary J. White

414
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:54,440
is speaking again tonight. And he is all about like he's all about motivation. But he's

415
00:35:54,440 --> 00:36:01,640
he's also saying that well, let me talk about let me can completely switch the topic to I

416
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:07,760
want to talk more about networking. Now, networking was a big fear that I had come in here. Like

417
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:17,040
I'm an introvert and I don't have a very large comfort zone yet. And but over the past couple

418
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:23,240
like weeks and months, I've been doing a lot sorry if you can hear this noise but I'm

419
00:36:23,240 --> 00:36:30,160
recording outside and the spot that I chose has barely any shade and the sun is moving

420
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:36,600
around. And so the computer that I'm recording on was in the shade but now it's in the sun

421
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:43,920
and it got really hot so I had to move it but pretty much the networking is so valuable

422
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:47,600
because when I was coming when I was like when I knew I was going to come I knew that

423
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:57,560
networking was great. But one thing is that networking is so valuable. Now I think I talked

424
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:02,680
about this on yesterday's episode but literally the first day we were here during registration

425
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:10,960
day zero of the event, I saw two dudes networking and one they literally just met and one dude

426
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:17,800
literally hooked the other guy up with so many leads and so many like potential clients

427
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:23,000
and it was like an amazing sight to see. So right there I already like learned of the

428
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:29,200
value of networking and then but I was still like a little nervous to network and then

429
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:34,960
once I just did it like I didn't to be honest I didn't even like I didn't even walk up to

430
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:44,960
many people but once I actually did it I was super what am I trying to say once I once

431
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:51,680
I actually did it then like all the excess potential just dissipated and it was like

432
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:56,520
what am I trying to say the excess potential dissipate I'm sorry I'm like very distracted

433
00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:02,440
right now because I can see someone in the corner of my eye but all the excess potential

434
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:08,400
dissipated and then I was comfortable talking. Now I made a few mistakes like for the first

435
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:12,120
couple network things that I was just talking about myself and then I became conscious of

436
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:19,280
that and then I started asking other people and I've met like a bunch of people and like

437
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:25,480
they're all millionaires like everyone here are business owners and everyone here are

438
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:33,040
like millionaires so that's another thing the biggest lesson is to surround yourself

439
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:39,480
with like-minded people. Now let me explain so probably like so I started self-improvement

440
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:47,960
let's just say one year ago I started reading my first books like one in September of 2022

441
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:55,120
and so I was working on that and then I heard this quote of the your five people you spend

442
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:59,480
the most time with or you're the average of the five people you spend your most time with

443
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:04,960
and I kind of just assumed that it didn't really affect me I kind of just assumed that

444
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:11,880
I can just stay indifferent to other people and that I can just not like make them pull

445
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:17,040
me down because at this time I was doing a lot of like high values high value habits

446
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:23,040
like reading and going to the gym and a lot of this stuff and eating healthy and then

447
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:28,960
most of my friends were not and so I just assumed that I could just be indifferent and

448
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:35,120
not really be affected by them but what I found out was I actually didn't find this

449
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:40,120
out until a couple months ago when I met my friend Franklin who is on self-improvement

450
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:48,960
and is on a similar path to me and it was absolutely insane because we grew so much

451
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:55,400
like and so it wasn't until a couple months ago it wasn't until a couple weeks or months

452
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:59,400
after I met him when I realized that and I talked about this on my episode on my show

453
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:05,400
before that I realized you're not just losing out on the fact that all those five other

454
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:10,360
people are pulling you down yeah they're pulling you down even if you're indifferent to it

455
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:14,120
but you're also missing out on the fact that those five people are not going to be able

456
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:22,080
to like pull you up and I realized this I've only met two people that are on self-improvement

457
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:26,400
and one of them I don't even spend that much time with but one of them I spent a lot of

458
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:33,280
time with Franklin and we realized that over summer we spend the majority of our time with

459
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:38,880
each other and we're able to pull each other up and so that's huge because in my current

460
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:48,320
school I go to school and there is like everyone is like going to college and everyone is going

461
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:53,920
on their own paths like the traditional path and that's not what I'm doing but I pretty

462
00:40:53,920 --> 00:41:00,440
much spend my entire day at school with all these people and now I'm staying indifferent

463
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:04,800
like I don't really talk to many people at school I just have like simple conversations

464
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:10,360
with them I don't really hang out much but I'm trying to stay indifferent which is like

465
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:15,560
I'm doing the best I can but I'm missing out on the fact of other people can pull me up

466
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:19,040
and I realized that again like that was the biggest lesson that I learned coming to Fun

467
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:26,240
and I Can Live because literally on the first day of the event we I sat next to a multi-millionaire

468
00:41:26,240 --> 00:41:33,680
he makes multi-million dollars every year in income in his business and like just talking

469
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:39,080
to him for like we probably talked to him for like 10 20 minutes maybe just that one

470
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:47,560
conversation we had with him it was so amazing like he we were just talking about all like

471
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:52,680
literally I did not learn anything new from him but he confirmed all of my suspicions

472
00:41:52,680 --> 00:42:02,000
because he was probably like 50 60 years old like he was a pretty old dude and I like

473
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:09,000
he is like 50 years ahead of me on this path and he confirmed everything all my suspicions

474
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:15,200
of whether I'm doing everything right because throughout my podcast like throughout my journey

475
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:20,200
I knew that I was doing all like I was I knew I was doing the habits of millionaires and

476
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:28,640
I knew that I was like on the right path but those were just my suspicions but now talking

477
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:35,160
to this one guy just one guy who is like 50 years ahead of me all of my suspicions were

478
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:42,280
confirmed he said meditate he said talk to people like network and all this stuff and

479
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:48,120
all my suspicions are confirmed it's amazing so that's one guy that we spent time with

480
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:54,240
who is a millionaire and that he like pulled us up and then there's other people that we

481
00:42:54,240 --> 00:42:59,600
were talking to that were like on a similar they were like there's like two people who

482
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:05,000
were like in their 20s like 26 years old and they were just starting their businesses as

483
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:11,720
well similar to us who are able to pull us up as well so even though we're not even if

484
00:43:11,720 --> 00:43:17,040
we talk to like people who are in the same level as us they're pulling us up so that's

485
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:21,640
why I really believe in the you're the average of the five most people you spend five people

486
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:28,480
you spend the most time with because like I'm just looking around and in the event they

487
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:34,320
talk about like there's a thing called the two comma club it's basically if you have

488
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:42,760
earned two million or earned one million dollars in revenue in a funnel and there were thousands

489
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:50,360
of people in the audience so there's like five thousand people there in attendance and they're

490
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:54,800
like who are my two comma club winners and then thousands of people are talking and then

491
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:59,080
there's like this inner circle that you have to pay like fifty thousand dollars a year or

492
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:04,960
like two hundred fifty thousand dollars a year to get into and we saw so many people and

493
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:12,280
the most amazing thing is they all look like normal people they just look like you and I

494
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:19,920
so that's another thing limiting beliefs I am grown up like there's a quote in Transurfing

495
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:25,320
where your worldview is exactly what it's you are taught for it to be so you basically

496
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:32,280
think in exactly the same way where you're supposed to think and your worldview is like

497
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:39,640
been formed and created by like your upcoming and so basically I grew up in a middle class

498
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:48,000
house and my worldview was basically formed by that so I grew up seeing all like the normal

499
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:53,720
people because normal people are basically you the your definition of normal people is

500
00:44:53,720 --> 00:45:00,040
people who you see on a day to day basis so I'm I can see probably like 20 people in my

501
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:05,000
field of vision right now so these are the types of people that I see on a day to day

502
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:11,800
basis so they become my definition of normal people now normal people differs from everyone

503
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:18,240
so if you are born into a hunter gather tribe with completely different clothing then those

504
00:45:18,240 --> 00:45:24,160
are your normal people so if you come into my world as a hunter gather and you see all

505
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:29,040
my normal people they're not going to be normal to you it does that make sense so basically

506
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:35,920
my normal people are middle class and then the whole reason and I see middle class as

507
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:44,000
normal I don't see them as having any particular like strong qualities or any particular thing

508
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:50,520
like attributes to them and the normal people to me are middle class that's just exactly

509
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:55,160
how I was raised but going to this event now I'm seeing all these normal people and they're

510
00:45:55,160 --> 00:46:01,080
millionaires so you're the average of five people you spend your most time with so if

511
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:05,400
you spend your most time with millionaires and you see them as normal people well you're

512
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:09,280
going to automatically want to assimilate into that and you're going to automatically

513
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:14,960
want to become normal like most people are normal and you're not going to want to be

514
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:21,000
an outlier because that's natural human like tendencies like primitive tendencies and so

515
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:25,360
naturally your normal will become millionaire and then you'll become a millionaire so that's

516
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:32,880
another reason why simply just passively being here not even necessarily doing much here

517
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:39,360
is so game changing because I'm I talked to like I've already said this multiple times

518
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:42,520
I've talked to like 10 people and there's probably two people walking by right now that

519
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:48,120
are millionaires so that's all about you're the average of the five most people you spend

520
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:54,120
your most time with shoot sorry about that interruption that was actually not my phone

521
00:46:54,120 --> 00:47:00,440
it was Franklin's phone that was the first time I've ever actually had a phone call

522
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:09,600
in the middle of my podcast and it was because his call his phone was on not on silent so

523
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:14,560
I'm actually going to power it off right now because this is my podcast and I don't want

524
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:23,440
his phone on but that actually just goes to show one very important thing making sure

525
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:29,440
that you create your environment exactly how you want it to be so let me explain basically

526
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:39,000
I made sure that my environment when I podcast like at home right now I don't really have

527
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:43,680
much control because I'm at Florida and I'm at like a hotel that I'm not even staying

528
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:51,400
at so shoot I think okay I close my computer but right now I'm at an environment that I'm

529
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:55,680
not really in much control about I'm out in public recording now I probably could have

530
00:47:55,680 --> 00:48:02,640
done a better job finding a finding a location to record with less distractions but that

531
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:09,040
is one important thing in your work in your day to day basis all of your things you have

532
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:13,280
to take control of your environment this is like the first time I heard about this lesson

533
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:19,680
was in the book called the millionaire fast lane by MJ DeMarco he basically he basically

534
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:26,120
talked about how when he was first when he was still living at his parents house trying

535
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:32,600
to become a millionaire he was living in his mom's basement and one of the things is he

536
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:39,960
was living in Chicago and he has like seasonal depression and that was like a big bad thing

537
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:45,360
for him and he didn't realize that he could actually change and control his environment

538
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:51,280
so what he did was he literally just picked up his bags and moved across the country to

539
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:55,760
the sunniest place in the world and so that is one way he changed his environment so that's

540
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,560
the first that's like the first lesson that I learned about changing your environment

541
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:04,960
and so I knew about that but I didn't really I wasn't really conscious when I was making

542
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:13,360
these decisions so I kind of like subconsciously controlled my environment because a year ago

543
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:20,520
my room I had a bed and a TV mounted to the wall and I had my PC all my gaming stuff my

544
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:25,880
Xbox in my room and then I realized that I could actually control my environment put

545
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:31,400
because even after I stopped playing video games I realized that this stuff was still

546
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:38,040
a distraction and so I would I literally just got rid of all of my stuff in my room and

547
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:45,680
it became minimalist and then I realized that I wanted to focus on studying and I wanted

548
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:51,400
to focus on meditating as well so studying and meditating is one of the things that I

549
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:57,160
wanted to get into like hardcore because I knew that those were two successful habits

550
00:49:57,160 --> 00:50:03,720
to have studying and meditating and so I was like I was questioning like how can I make

551
00:50:03,720 --> 00:50:10,120
this the easiest possible to be consistent so I was thinking like I tried to meditate

552
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:18,120
in my in the gym and it didn't really work out very well because it's hard to be consistent

553
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:21,800
and meditating if you're meditating in the gym because you can't really control that

554
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:28,320
environment because most people like there's people that walk by and then in the gym if

555
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:34,480
you have a rest day you're resting from meditation as well so I was trying to figure out how

556
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:39,360
I could make it like a consistent practice and so what I ended up doing was I tried to

557
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:47,840
find a mat to meditate on and I found a tatami mat because I just watched a video about sleep

558
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:54,080
and in that sleep video he basically recommended a tatami mat and so this is like a tatami mat

559
00:50:54,080 --> 00:51:02,240
who is all about it's just like a straw grass this is a grass straw mat and this this mat

560
00:51:02,240 --> 00:51:07,520
I bought just for meditation I put it in my room and I was consistent and then I ended

561
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:12,640
up wanting to study and so I basically got rid of everything in my room except for that mat

562
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:18,800
and that basically made it so there was no distractions absolutely zero distractions

563
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:25,920
in my room at all zero and so now I have ever since that I did that probably like one or two

564
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:32,160
probably like two months ago and ever since then it I've been extremely consistent no I think it

565
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:39,360
was three months ago I've been extremely consistent at meditating and studying so that is like if you

566
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:45,440
want to be successful in like a certain thing control your environment and make it the easiest

567
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:53,760
possible so when you are so that's like that relates to me right now I'm podcasting and I'm

568
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:59,520
actually like a little stressed out because everyone's going inside and I think I'm missing the event

569
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:05,280
but I still have eight minutes left so that's another thing that I failed on to control my

570
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:12,000
environment controlling your environment is so important like you need to control your environment

571
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:20,080
that's like that and I didn't even learn about that at fun life in life yet but tonight we're

572
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:27,760
actually I believe the next thing that is planned is the awards ceremony for fun life in life and

573
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:35,520
this award ceremony is basically like a two hour long award ceremony which I refer to the

574
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:43,680
two comma club earlier and it's like that it's basically a club or it's basically the award

575
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:53,920
you were you are receive when you make a funnel that creates one million in sales and this when

576
00:52:53,920 --> 00:53:00,640
this when you do this you basically receive the two comma club award and click funnels provides that

577
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:07,280
and there are like I think there's like thousands of people in the two comma club now and there's

578
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:16,960
been like 400 people that received a two comma club award since last fun life in life so on today

579
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:23,360
is actually going to be the two comma club award ceremony and the two comma club x and the two comma

580
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:31,200
club c so pretty much I'm going to be watching a bunch of normal people that look like you and me go

581
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:38,080
on stage in front of 5000 people and receive an award that they had earned by creating a business

582
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:50,480
that that generated one million ten million or like five 100 million in revenue so I'm going to be

583
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:57,440
seeing a bunch of people that look just like me on stage winning an award doing something that I

584
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:08,160
strive to do so that's going to be another very good like life-changing um thing but one thing is

585
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:16,960
Gary J. White it was on stage today and he's basically the founder of wake up warrior and

586
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:25,200
he's a beast so he's like the man he if you think of a masculine man he is basically what will come

587
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:34,480
up and he was on stage just talking about business and he's usually like motivational so he was on

588
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:40,800
stage just for business and in I'm pretty sure he's going to do his motivational one on in like a

589
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:48,640
week or or not a week but today or tomorrow or the next day and pretty much he was on stage and

590
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:53,760
to be honest I completely forgot where I was going with this because I keep on seeing people

591
00:54:54,480 --> 00:55:00,160
that I'm getting distracted by so that's another thing of the event or control your environment but

592
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:07,680
Gary oh this is what I was saying Gary J. White was talking about how you cannot be consuming so

593
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:13,680
much content and this is something I realized in funnel hacking live because we're sitting in a chair

594
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:20,560
for hours like literally today we're at funnel hacking live for 14 hours with only like two

595
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:27,040
breaks of dinner and lunch so and we're consuming so much content and this is something me and my

596
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:31,840
friend Franklin realized yesterday after the event we got home and we're like so what happened today

597
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:37,760
and I was like I have no idea I completely forgot everything that happened and like that's the issue

598
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:45,280
we consume so much content like do not consume so much content and he actually preaches consume as

599
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:50,720
little content as possible and make sure that that content is extremely high quality and that's why

600
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:56,720
business like that's what he does in business click funnels does this and Gary J. White does this in

601
00:55:56,720 --> 00:56:05,760
business so basically when you have a bunch of content this you don't want to put out so much

602
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:13,280
content you want to I'm not talking about like general like YouTube channel I'm talking about

603
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:19,200
if you're creating a course like a membership course like the continuity program that I really want

604
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:24,160
to do but I don't really know how to move forward on so you don't want to place all of your content

605
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:33,280
in there you want to curate all that content and create the most dense piece of like content possible

606
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:39,920
and then that will basically get the person to move as quickly and optimally towards their goal

607
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:48,080
and so what happens is they're able to go on this and then it consumes little content as possible

608
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:54,480
and so Gary J. White is big on meditation and so he doesn't like consuming a lot of content and

609
00:56:54,480 --> 00:57:00,960
that's what I've been doing yesterday and today which I'm very conscious of but I want to consume

610
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:06,240
it all because this is an event that only happens once a year and this is my first time ever doing

611
00:57:06,240 --> 00:57:10,720
anything like this so I'm consuming everything so I'm making the exception to the rule right now but

612
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:17,120
basically if you consume as little content as possible but make sure it's the most high quality

613
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:23,120
content and then he says meditate like make sure your mind is clear he said conscious awareness

614
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:30,480
conscious awakening and that is like all about making sure that you're listening to the most

615
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:40,320
information high quality stuff possible and that's another thing Gary yesterday we were the guy that

616
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:44,160
the millionaire that me and my friend were talking about yesterday we were talking to him

617
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:50,320
and he when I was saying this relates to what he said he said make sure you're studying a book

618
00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:54,640
or make sure you're studying for one hour every day at least and make it a habit

619
00:57:55,280 --> 00:58:01,440
like studying a book and he said he also said make sure that you're reading like good high

620
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:07,120
quality books like don't read some trash garbage make sure that you're reading the most high quality

621
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:13,520
books possible and then he gave like an example principles by Ray Dalio he said he's gonna listen

622
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:18,560
to everything he says because he is like a millionaire he knows exactly what he's talking about

623
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:26,320
and he has what he's and like don't read some book by Joe Schmoe that they don't even know anything

624
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:30,640
about like they don't even know anything about the thing they're talking about so that's another

625
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:37,760
thing like make sure you're consuming as little content as possible and but that's another thing

626
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:44,160
like I'm producing a lot of content so naturally I want people to consume all of my content but

627
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:51,600
if you really want to move forward can make sure okay so let me explain this I was in a stage like

628
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:56,320
a couple months ago where I was consuming a lot of content but I was making sure I was listening

629
00:58:56,320 --> 00:59:02,080
to the highest quality possible so I was listening to Hamza um diary of a CEO like the highest quality

630
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:07,200
content but I was still consuming it in mass and then I and then there's a turning point that you

631
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:13,360
have to get to where you're basically you shift from not even consuming anything and that's actually

632
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:18,880
what happens eventually you end up consuming nothing like that's what I'm doing so if you

633
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:24,480
I recommend you consume as much content as possible so listen to my stuff if you think that

634
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:29,680
my stuff is the most important for you listen to it and then eventually once you get to a point where

635
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:39,360
you're like self-sustainable then that's when you make the shift and cut out all content and all media

636
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:44,400
everything like I'm not even the only content that I've been listening to for the past like

637
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:53,360
couple like honestly the last couple months is obviously school but other than that it's been

638
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:58,640
this for my life like this is the most content I've consumed in like the last long time but

639
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:05,120
that's pretty much it so one thing that I said that I was going to do is refer you guys to another video

640
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:12,720
and I want you guys to listen if you guys haven't listened to the Transurfing Principles episodes

641
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:17,600
I recommend going back and listening to them all in order um and if you don't like like the first

642
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:22,080
ones because I remember the first one it was when I was first starting recording so I wasn't very good

643
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:27,280
at recording so go back and listen to that stuff and skip through if you don't like listening to

644
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:35,360
my early voice but pretty much go watch that but to wrap things up don't forget to download your

645
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:58,000
favorite episodes and subscribe to the Ascend Momentum show but before you guys leave make sure to remember the eagles
