How do you win the game?
So, let's answer this question.
How do you win the game?
So first we have to understand what is the game.
And we have to understand how to actually win it.
But to preface, I want to start this episode off by letting you guys know that
I did find a better location to record than yesterday.
And I'm actually in the middle of a golf course under trees,
kind of in an isolated area and it's right next to the highway.
So I'm unsure if you guys will be able to hear the highway.
I doubt it, but I'm just saying sorry for that.
And also I'm unsure if you guys will be able to hear the wind.
Right now there's wind blowing.
So sorry if you do hear that as well.
I'll do my best to kind of remove all of that.
But this is the best I can do right now.
But I wanted to talk about winning the game.
So first things off, let's start with what is the game?
So the game is the game of life.
We're all playing a game right now.
We are born into this world and we're just thrown into this game.
Now some people, most people actually are fully immersed in the game.
And they're just playing out the rules like how non-playable characters in video games would play.
Like they're just doing exactly what they're supposed to be doing.
They're doing exactly what they're told to do, exactly what they're programmed to do.
And I don't have a full grasp on this picture of the game,
but I do have an understanding because I first learned,
I first started learning about this game in a book called Unscripted by MJ DeMarco.
And it basically exposes how the financial system and how most people are kind of slaved to it.
And slaved by it.
But what this game actually is, is you can actually control it.
You can actually be the master of your own fate.
You can be the king of the financial system.
Now fast forward a few months, I picked up this book called Reality Transurfing.
And this absolutely shattered my beliefs.
So Unscripted kind of confirmed some of my suspicions.
I kind of had a suspicion that there was more to life than working a 9-to-5 job.
I had a suspicion that since there are millionaires in the world,
I had a suspicion that anyone could be a millionaire.
Like anyone can make a million dollars, anyone can be free from the system
and actually have the system work for them.
But Transurfing absolutely destroyed my worldview.
So Transurfing exposed this idea of pendulums.
And what pendulums are, they're basically whenever multiple people are thinking of the same thing,
whenever they're thinking of the same thing, then a pendulum emerges.
And if enough people are feeding energy to it and then enough people are attuned to that frequency,
then what happens is the pendulum actually develops on its own and actually becomes its own individual unit,
its own individual structure.
And so when this happens and the pendulum picks up enough energy and it becomes powerful enough,
it can actually control people.
So some of the most powerful pendulums out there is the school system, Wall Street, the workforce, jobs.
So those are some of the most powerful pendulums.
And since we're born into a world of pendulums, then...
And what the pendulums do is once they get strong enough and powerful enough, they actually are able to, like, control...
They're actually able to pick up adherence, so get people to think on its wavelength and then control it.
And so the pendulums control the person and then it instills thoughts and beliefs and it shapes their mind.
It shapes their worldview.
It shapes everything that goes on in their mind to serve the pendulum.
And we're born into this world destined to be great.
We're already pretty much guaranteed greatness as long as we don't, like, screw it up ourselves or as long as we don't get picked up by a pendulum.
And we're born into this world by individual...
Like, we're individual souls.
We're all our own people.
And so when you are picked up by a pendulum, you actually lose your individuality.
And then you lose all of this kind of...
You gain a common sense.
And then you basically get to the point where you're just thinking about...
Thinking what the pendulum needs you to think.
So it teaches you everything to think.
And this is evident in the school system, in the workforce, in the jail system.
Prison system.
The...anything.
Like, one of the most powerful that I'm dealing with right now is the school system.
Now let me explain.
So I grew up in America, just outside of Chicago.
And I grew up going to school like a normal American...
Like a normal American.
And basically this pendulum grabbed a hold of me and I started to become an inherent.
And so for my entire life, my thoughts were shaped.
And they were formed by this school system.
And I was...my mindset was shaped and then it was kind of confined.
It was...it shrunk, essentially.
Because the school system doesn't benefit from people living their own lives,
living individually free, living to their fullest potential.
The school system benefits from cogs in the machine.
People who are going to feed energy to it and do the work.
And the school system basically teaches to be a kaga machine.
And what that looks like is to work a 9-5 job.
Pretty much, that's it. Work a 9-5 job.
Like, that's why most people go to college and then get a degree, just so they can get a job.
So this is one of the most dangerous pendulums that I'm facing right now, because I'm a senior.
And actually, over the past week, I missed all...like this whole week of school.
It's Saturday today. And I missed the past week of school,
because I went to this business conference called Funnel Hacking Life.
And I'm going to be honest, it absolutely revolutionized everything.
It gave me a lot of clarity.
I was really already suspicious on what to do.
I already had my suspicions on how to move forward.
And what this conference did was it basically confirmed everything for me.
And basically, confirmed my suspicions.
And now, all of the things that I was already kind of doing and already suspected,
for example, I suspected that mindset and worldview was big, very important for becoming successful.
I suspected that even like tactical things that I was doing, like working on a podcast was important.
All of these things were confirmed.
Every single thing was confirmed.
You have to have the right mindset. You have to have the right worldview, the right attitude.
You have to be doing the right strategies according to your own beliefs, your own path.
So my strategies, my tactics that I'm doing right now are going to be different.
They may be similar, but they're going to be different from person to person.
So that's why you have some people doing just podcasts.
Some people not even on social media at all, they're just working on like their own business or something like that.
Like everyone has their own path.
And that's basically when we come into this world, we're placed in this body, our soul is placed in a body,
and it's basically like a clean sheet, a blank canvas.
And so what this blank canvas does, like what happens is whenever we perceive the world
and we can actually choose how we perceive the world.
So what we choose to perceive the world as is what's written on our blank canvas.
It's basically our worldview.
And so naturally we live in a world of pendulums.
So these pendulums pick us up, grab ahold of our canvas and take our hand
and basically lead our hand to write certain things down.
And what these things are are narrow restricted, confined worldviews that keep us placed.
We're born, I was listening to Garrett J. White speak today on the fourth day of the event, the last day of the event.
I just heard him speak like an hour ago.
And what he said is that we're born into a system that is meant to keep you down.
It's meant for you to lose in the system.
You're born into a system where you're basically destined for failure.
Not destined for failure, but you're born in a system where it basically, how do I word this?
He worded it very well.
I forgot what he said.
But basically the system that we're in, like the entire system, the entire game,
is designed to prevent people from winning.
It's designed to keep people in the losing bucket, keep people losing.
And I was thinking like last night, me and my friend Franklin were both at this business conference together in Florida.
Like we're both in Florida right now, Orlando.
And I can actually see him on the other side of the golf course right now recording YouTube short or TikTok in a tree.
So that's awesome.
But we're both here together.
And basically what we're doing is we realized last night that our worldview is so important.
And what we discovered was strategy over tactics.
So we were talking about all of the big guys, Jeff Bezos, even Russell Brunson, Damon John, Grant Cardone,
all of these guys know all the strategies.
They know their strategy, but they don't necessarily know the tactics.
They don't know what, they don't know how to post a podcast.
They don't know what their merchant account is.
They don't know any of these tactic things.
They don't know how to create a funnel builder.
Or they know how to create a funnel, but they don't know how.
And what that means is they know the strategy behind it, but they don't necessarily know how to actually go about to create it.
The tactical part.
They don't know how to get onto the website.
They don't know how to actually use the website.
This is all stuff that they do because they basically, what I realized is that the big entrepreneurs, the big business owners,
are the ones who are masters of the strategies.
And then what they do is, since they're masters of the strategies and they don't know the tactics, they don't waste their time trying to learn the tactics.
What they do is they actually hire people.
They hire a team.
So all of the big guys have a team and they hire an entire team to do the tactics for them.
So what they do is they basically just know the strategies and then they tell the team what to do, like the strategy behind it.
And then the team goes in and implements it.
So I'm kind of getting off topic, but that is one, that's like strategies over tactics.
That's what I've learned.
And also I want to talk about worldview, mindset.
So for some background knowledge, I have been on self-improvement.
I've been lifting, I've been working on my health for all of high school.
So the past like three years, I'm a senior, I started in freshman year.
And then I, no, actually I think I started in sophomore year, but it doesn't really matter when I started.
So I've been focusing on health for pretty much all of high school.
And then I started lifting two years ago and then I started reading one year ago.
And then the books that I was reading were Breath, The New Science of a Lost Art, The Oxygen Advantage, The China Study,
like all of these health related books, like all the things to increase my health, fitness, like all of this stuff.
And I got to the point where I'm like, okay, I know, like I have a basic idea of where to go forward.
And I got to the point where I'm fairly confident I can get to a healthy state.
I can become healthy and I can do all these things.
And I was thinking, I kind of had this intuitive idea that the next step is my mindset.
I didn't know much about mindset before, but I was thinking like, okay, I was working on my physical body,
but what about like everything that goes on inside of my head?
Like that was kind of what I was thinking at the time.
And little did I know, little did I know how valuable that actually is,
like more valuable than even working on health and fitness in my opinion.
And I'm just in the beginning and I've realized that this is so valuable.
So what I did was I was looking, I looked up mindset books on Google.
And I don't really remember what the searches showed, but I just remember thinking like, yeah, I don't want to read any of these books.
These aren't, these don't seem that great.
And then I kind of just gave up on looking for mindset books.
So I went back into my like focusing on all these like health physical stuff.
And then after a little bit, I was watching Tik Tok at the, or not Tik Tok,
I was watching YouTube shorts at the time and I stumbled upon this video, a fan channel, Iman Gazi's fan channel.
Someone's fan channel for Iman Gazi and someone, it was like, there was probably like 10 likes on the video.
So no one watched it.
And I, someone like, it was the video was like 10 seconds long, probably.
And someone walked up to Iman Gazi, interviewed him real quick and asked, hey, you've suggested some books on this channel,
but they're all pretty much introduction.
They're all beginner type books.
So what kind of more advanced books are you studying right now?
What kind of, what books are you studying right now?
And so Iman Gazi said, reality Transurfing.
And then that's it.
That was the video.
And so I bought it.
I went on Amazon and bought it.
It was like 80 bucks.
It was a pretty big investment considering I didn't even know what Transurfing was.
I didn't know anything about it, but something just told me to buy it.
So I bought it.
And then fast forward six months later, I actually seven months now probably, I have studied it.
I've read it two times, two times through.
And what I learned in that book is that your mindset is actually the most important.
Now he didn't say this like directly, but pretty much the whole book was about how important your mindset is.
And when you are thinking, you're actually creating your world.
Just by thinking, you're creating the layer of your world.
So I realized all this and I was learning a lot about how to clean up my mind and then how to like kind of structure my thinking in a certain way and follow certain principles and rules to get what I want and achieve my goals and my result.
And like just the life that I desire.
So that goal or that book basically lays out frameworks and principles to follow and adhere to.
So I learned about all that stuff and I started implementing it.
And I was like, yes, this is good.
This is exactly the book that I needed.
In fact, if I could only read one book for the rest of my life currently at this moment, the book that I would choose is Reality Transurfing by Vadim Zahn.
And that's for very good reason because I really believe that it's a foundation and let's go back to the pendulums.
So by the way, the pendulums is a concept I learned about on trans on Transurfing.
So this let's talk about how pendulums basically instill a worldview into you.
And if you've never really took any account into it and like never really paid any attention to it, then start to tell you but you probably have a worldview that is not benefiting you.
And so let's talk about how my what basically I drew a picture today in my notebook right when I sat down at the event.
I was basically recapping kind of one of the most important things I learned.
So what I drew was just a square at the bottom of my page.
And what that represented was the foundation.
And then I just wrote the foundation and then I said, and I was just writing like what kind of books does the foundation lay out or like what kind of books give you a foundation to your life.
And so this picture was representing your life like on the side, I wrote a line and I said life.
So this is basically your life and I wanted to represent your life as kind of like a house or just whatever, like a building.
So some people choose to build a small little shack.
That's like the average average people, normal people build a small shack.
And then other people just choose to choose to build a massive castle or a mansion or whatever it may be.
And that's greatness. That's like the 1% that's the all the top people.
And so first you have to do the first thing you do is to build a foundation.
Now automatically the foundation is laid out for us.
Just we're led by the hand from our childhood to go into the pendulums like to think to adhere to the pendulum rule do as I do.
And we're automatically kind of led by the hand of pendulums and thoughts are instilled in us.
And then what happens is the pendulums lay a foundation for us.
Now this is a very small weak foundation and it's actually a destructive foundation too.
The only thing that you can really build on this foundation in my opinion is a shack.
And that's what most people have. Most people's lives are akin to a shack.
Because they have a weak foundation.
And so what I drew next was I drew a castle.
Like I drew the outline of a castle on top of the foundation.
And so but let's rewind. I want to say the two books that I wrote down that were kind of teaching about the foundation was reality transurfing and 10x is easier than 2x.
Now for kind of context I just learned about that book 10x is easier than 2x yesterday.
And I'll talk more about that in this episode later.
And I haven't even read the book yet so I'm not even 100% sure if it's really this great or if it's really supposed to be on this part of the picture.
But from what I heard in the speech I'll talk about this later in the episode.
But right now I want to talk about the castle.
So what I laid out is the castle is the strategy.
So books strategy books are books like expert secrets dot com secrets like all like general strategies for business life and it would be like a general strategy would be lifting push pole legs.
And then the tactics would be like lift three by 12 reps with dumbbells at this certain degree like that that's the tactics.
And then I drew one more thing.
So then I drew kind of like vines and I tried to decorate the castle and then I labeled the vines tactics.
So let's recap the foundation is worldview mindset.
The castle is strategy and then the vines the decoration the paint on the castle all the decoration is tactics.
So again I just wrote this picture I kind of came up with this picture and outline today like five four five hours ago.
And then I want to talk about the book that I'm reading or the book that I'm going to start reading.
I actually started this morning.
I only read a paragraph because I had like five minutes but the book that the next book I'm reading is going to be called it's called 10x is easy.
It's called 10x is easier than 2x.
So I want to before I say this I want to kind of give you bring back up the what I said about transfer thing.
So what I like to what I want to talk about the foundation as well.
So what I like to think is when we're born we're born into a world of pendulums and these pendulums kind of lay out a foundation for us.
And so if that's this foundation is only sufficient for a shack.
So if you want a shack if you want your life to be a shack then don't even worry about it just keep that foundation and build your life on top of it.
And if you want bigger if you want your life to be better then you have to dig out that foundation and then fill it in with something else.
So what I like to think of transfer in that book is basically you digging it out digging out that foundation and starting to fill the pavement.
And then just transfer in alone can give you probably the strongest foundation you've ever had in your like you can ever achieve.
But you have to like really become proficient and an expert at the principles and transfer in which I've read the 750 page book two times.
And I say I'm still a beginner.
I have gotten a lot of results and a lot of my life is absolutely changed because of it.
But I don't think that with just two I don't have a strong enough foundation.
So and then I also realized that there's one more there's like a missing piece.
There's an I was it was brought to my attention yesterday when Benjamin Hardy the co-author of the book 10 X is easier than two.
He came to speak yesterday and I realized that there was a whole nother part of this mindset.
There's a whole.
So basically I see it transfer as a worldview and then 10 X is easier than two X as a mindset and basically the then the both of those things the worldview and the mindset go on in your mind in your head like go on in your head.
But what I see the 10 X is easier than two X as a mindset because it basically preaches that most people follow the two X rule.
Most people when they're trying to improve me included up to yesterday kind of structure or lead their thoughts in the direction of the past.
They kind of I don't really know how to explain it because I haven't read the book yet and I just heard the presentation and to be honest when the quote if you hear something you forget if you see something you remember if you do something you understand it that quote is so true because I heard this presentation.
I was taking a lot of notes but I forgot a lot of it.
And so I have to either go back and read my notes or read the book and I'm choosing to do both.
But I haven't done it yet. And so forgive me because I'm a beginner at this but pretty much most people and I want to bring up the to your attention this one quote of if most people are doing it then you shouldn't you should probably not do it.
Or if most people are doing it then it will lead you to the path of most if most like most people are living their lives are a shack.
So if you want more don't listen to most don't do what most do.
So when I came to realize me included yesterday Benjamin Hardy brought to my attention that most people are structuring their thinking in marginal improvements and they're structuring their thinking in such a way that they're kind of focused on the past or focus on comparing themselves to the past which I have done because a lot of my episodes if you've listened.
I'm basically always bringing back up my growth which I think is fine right now.
But I need to read this book that's why.
And so I'll be reading over the next week or two.
I don't know how long it'll take but the next thing is what you're supposed to do what the 10x do what the 1% do is they focus on the future.
They basically frame their present based on their future.
And what they do is they picture themselves having an impossible goal.
Their future is impossible.
And so what happens is they have an impossible goal.
And now they have to frame all of their current decisions actions attitudes habits all of these things they have to frame this according to this future goal so they end up making a lot they they kind of filter out all the junk and only receive the new and the good.
And so that's why 10x is easier than 2x.
And that's the next piece of the mindset that I was missing.
And I'm sure there's more.
But right now this is the next piece of the mindset.
So I see going back to the foundation metaphor.
I see pendulums is filling in the foundation for us.
Transurfing is getting rid of the foundation and starting to fill it in.
And then 10x is easier than 2x is filling it in more and like polishing it and applying a strengthening unit to it.
And also I realized that let's kind of recap so pretty much we're in a game of life and we're it taught certain worldview to keep us down.
And there's a certain word there's a worldview called transurfing.
And then there's a mindset called 10x is easier than 2x that basically teaches you how to become a 1% because anyone can be a 1%.
A quote by Vadim Zan is the chosen ones choose themselves.
And that basically says that anyone can be a millionaire anyone can be a billionaire that all the billionaires of the world chose themselves.
And today listening to all the speakers or actually over the past week listening to all the speakers.
I realized that everyone had their struggles.
Everyone has that voice in their head holding them back everyone even the successful people and everyone has their downfalls pitfalls everything.
And so it's just those who choose to ignore the voice in their head and take action anyways.
One of the terms that I learned yesterday is called just give her.
And it basically means to do it anyways take action anyways.
And I forgot the guy's name but he wrote a book called just give her and he basically came to talk yesterday and he talked about the just give her.
So that was awesome.
And that's why right now I'm just focusing on worldview because I feel like the foundation is extremely important.
Like you wouldn't build a house without building a strong foundation.
You wouldn't build your life without having a strong foundation to it which is your worldview your worldview is the foundation to your life.
So that's why I'm really focusing I'm really dialing in on worldview mindset all of this stuff it's a foundation to build an amazing life that you want.
And with that said I still want to take action on my business because one it's action taken on the business.
So I'm moving forward to my goals but also it gives me a very unique and excellent opportunity to strengthen my knowledge by teaching exactly what I'm learning in real time.
So if I hadn't started this podcast I would not have had as much success or understanding as I have now from reading my books like if I didn't start this podcast I still would be learning I still would be learning about stuff on the books.
But I wouldn't have nearly as much understanding because when you teach something you strengthen your own understanding.
So with that said that is extremely important to understand.
So that's why I'm recording on the podcast plus a extreme it's a very good self improvement act like it's a very good thing to do for self improvement.
Because if you go back to my first episode which fun fact it's not even my first episode is my 15th episode but if you go back to that episode and listen to it you'll know the difference.
It's like I grew so much as a person not only in self improvement but also in my speaking and my confidence like on my first episode I also talked about this yesterday and I had a similar experience yesterday as I have today but on my first episode I was kind of embarrassed I was ashamed and I was whispering into my microphone because I didn't want my family to hear and I was in my basement.
I still am in my basement not today or yesterday or the past week but I'm like when I go home I will be in my basement again.
This is just the place I record it's distraction free it's my environment but the thing is that podcasting I haven't gotten any monetary benefits and I understood that it was going to take.
Russell Brunson said if you focus on if you post on your show daily for an entire year you'll never have to worry about money again so I went in it with the mindset that it's not going to be instant it may take a year.
And that's okay but one thing I didn't realize I kind of understood that it's good to find your voice but I didn't realize how valuable that is in your life because.
I'm sitting in the I'm standing actually with a microphone attached to a Mac book in the middle of a golf course and I'm shirtless I'm not wearing a shirt or shoes or socks.
And I'm just walking around pacing around my notebook or not notebook my my friend's computer actually I'm pacing around this making weird hand signals just kind of like leaning forward leaning back doing weird things I probably look like an absolute idiot.
And there's probably been like 20 people 30 people 50 people walk by me not even counting the cars driving by which I don't even think they can see me but it doesn't matter.
Like I've made eye contact with probably at least 15 people over the course of this episode which I am actually like not even 35 minutes into.
And I've made eye contact with many people some people have stared at me some people are staring at me and the thing is if you took me 70 days ago I would not have ever done this I would have folded under pressure I wouldn't have even attempted to record in public.
But now I'm able to make eye contact with people while I'm recording while I'm speaking while I'm shirtless and make eye contact with them and not be phased.
Now there are moments when I do lose my focus because I am like I it's just a distraction.
It's not necessarily me being ashamed or embarrassed it's just a distraction when people walk by which I understand because I'm in public so it is my fault that I'm in this situation but this is the best spot to record that I found so far because everywhere like there's 5000 people at this event.
So people are walking the halls so like you can't really escape from people and so I just went to my the most isolated place which I discovered today was on the opposite end of the golf course in this like tree area so.
And I actually almost got kicked off some like yesterday I got kicked off of the golf course in the first half.
In the first eight minutes I recorded in the golf course and then I paused it if you go back on the video you might be able to hear the cut but I paused it and then I got kicked off and I had to move over but I started recording I was 30 seconds 45 seconds in to this episode and then I actually.
It's another guy in the golf cart rode up to me and kicked almost kicked me out as well but I paused it and then he said like I'll tell you what I'll let you be here so that's pretty much.
This I don't even know what I went on that tangent for but that's like what happened so I ended up deleting that first 45 seconds because it was only 45 seconds so I just restarted.
But going back to the worldview I'm realizing that there are kind of two types of speakers well there's more types of speakers but there are.
Russell set up the fun lacking live event in such a way where we would both be able to learn but also get inspiration and motivation.
And some people are so there was a kind of like a strategy slash tactical kind of speaker and then there were other speakers that were purely just for motivation and inspiration.
And that was evident today especially because both the speakers that came up Gary J. White and.
What's his name Ben.
Or Ben call I don't know.
He they were both motivational speakers they were just telling their story and like pretty much getting us to get motivated and all that.
But what I realized is that. The motivational speakers are actually the ones we need to be listening to because yes the strategies slash tactical speakers are important to listen to.
Like for example on the first day or the second day.
Or yeah the first day the tactical strategy speaker spoke about shorts and posting on social media and all that stuff which was very I'm very grateful that I listened to that because it confirmed my suspicions like I was already headed that path anyways but it confirmed my suspicions on that's the right path forward.
So it's important.
But the real important like you can get away with not knowing the strategies for now.
But what you need to know is you need to know the inspirational concepts the concepts that all the motivational speakers all the life coaches are teaching.
And that's basically summed up is to take action started starting out like.
But there's a lot of different kind of frameworks that other motivational speakers gave like just give her that guy was more of a tactical strategy speaker but he actually sprinkled in some motivation and created a word called just give her.
And it basically says take action.
And then another person.
Which is basically taking action because your extreme ownership is oh I'm in chart like I am the reason why I have this life.
Like I chose this life and I'm going to take ownership of it so I'm going to take action now.
All of the things kind of sum up from one thing is taking action.
And that's what that's another thing like right now I'm only 18 years old so I'm in the beginning of my life and going back to the metaphor.
Right now I'm at the beginning life so it makes sense to create a very strong foundation that's why I'm focusing so hard on mindset because I'm sure once I have the mindset it'll shift and I won't really care too much about the motivational speakers.
And I did see this like I saw some older people leave during the motivational speakers and then come back during the strategies because for them they already have the mindset they already have the world do that they need for their life they already have the foundation strong enough big enough wide enough for the life that they want the castle they want to build on top of it.
And so at that point strategies are important to know that you need to know the strategies now.
So that's why I feel like in order to go out throughout your life you need to follow the same order that you would follow to build a castle.
If you want greatness in your life build build your life in the same order you would build a castle.
If you want average mediocrity in your life go about you're building your life in the same order you would build a shack.
And that order is first you lay out the foundation which is your worldview your mindset your attitude towards life how you perceive the world like all that stuff everything that goes on in your mind that's the foundation.
And then you start to build up the structure the actual castle building and it starts to take form.
That's the strategies that's what to do that's all that stuff.
And then you start to decorate it like and you learned how to decorate that's the tactics you start putting paint on you start adding in like windows you start adding in like plants house plans vines a garden pool like all all that stuff.
That is how you should go about with building your life you as a foundation worldview build the building strategies decorate the building tactics.
And then what you could do actually what most high successful people do is they build a foundation they spend a lot of time building the foundation.
And then what they do is they learn how to build the strategy they learn how to build the building they learn all the strategies.
And then they just hire outsource the decoration they have other people decorate for them and that's how they build the entire their entire life.
And I've been studying for I've been studying books for a year I've only been studying like worldview getting into this actual important stuff.
Don't get me wrong. Breathing health diet all this stuff is important massively important.
I still focus on it every day.
But the real big game changers are your mindset worldview.
And so I've only been focusing on this stuff for the past six months and I didn't really dial in on it until probably like four months ago five months ago three months ago.
Didn't really dial in on it until recently. And so I'm only like three months into my six months into my foundation.
And I definitely plan on learning more that's why I'm going to read the 10x is easier than 2x because that's a massively important book.
It's extremely important. It teaches exactly how high successful ultra successful entrepreneurs.
Ultra successful business leaders businessmen business women are all their mindsets like Steve Jobs.
He absolutely revolutionized the way we communicate with each other the way we access the Internet the way we use like he revolutionized the telephone industry the phone like all that stuff.
He started the smart or no he didn't start the smartphone industry but he basically started.
What did he start the smartphone industry. I think I don't even know.
Doesn't matter. But pretty much he didn't make smart goals.
What Ben Hardy talked about was smart goals are holding you back.
Just the other day I was in a business class business incubator class which is great.
But we had to learn a smart goal. We had to do a smart goal set a smart goal.
And I didn't realize how damaging that is for your mindset your world view for your life until I heard Ben Hardy speak because when you're when you try and like marginally increase your health or marginally increase your testosterone levels like my friend was talking about.
Literally this morning we were talking about 10x is the other than 2x and when he out he said he was trying to increase his testosterone levels by two like 10%.
And what he was doing was he would research you deep dive on like Reddit on forums like all of these things he would learn some extremely esoteric extremely niche things like.
He said something extremely scientific to me he speaks in a lot of scientific terms that I don't even understand but.
Pretty much he like for example one thing that he's doing is like he's got like eight supplements which I think they're good.
That's a bad example. Let me I don't even know.
Carrots.
There was one really interesting thing that he was doing that was marginally increasing his testosterone.
So it doesn't matter what he was doing the point of the matter is he spent lots of time and effort researching how to increase his testosterone by 10%.
He wasn't really he wasn't like.
He wasn't really conscious or he wasn't like saying oh how do I increase my testosterone 10%.
He was like okay I want to increase my testosterone a lot.
How do I do it and then he went about looking for certain like things to do.
He went about looking for.
Little strategies tactics to do and he went into a niche thing.
Pretty much the point is that he said I was spending all this time learning how to 10% increase my testosterone when I was literally sleeping like six hours a night.
Like I was my foundation the entire foundation of my health my sleep.
I was just ignoring and I was just focusing on these tiny little 10% improvements which were helping.
But if I were to have just improved my sleep.
Now I'm not sure if improving your sleep increases your testosterone I'm sure it may because sleep is the foundation of health.
Like I learned that in the why we sleep book sleep is massively important the most important piece of your health.
And he was like his sleep was terrible and it still is terrible.
But he realized now after listening to the 10x we have to be filtering out like is this going to 10% improve me or is this going to 10x me.
Is this going to multiply my self by two times or 10 times or 100 times or 1000 times.
And one great story that Benjamin Hardy had taught or told yesterday which I'm going to retell is he's got a son who is on he's a very good tennis player.
And he was talking to his tennis coach and the coach was like so what are you going to do are you going to like what's your goals on tennis.
And for context they live in Florida and like Florida is like one of the best tennis states out there.
And so he is like amongst a lot of competition and there's a lot of tennis players amazing great tennis players in Florida.
And so Benjamin Hardy's son responded to his coach saying I want I want to go to college and then Benjamin his coach.
And then that was that was it.
That was his goal.
And then Ben Hardy talked to his son about that conversation a little bit while later and asked like.
Well do you think you can get to college and his son responded.
I don't know.
I'm not sure.
And then Ben Hardy was like well do you want to go pro.
And then Ben hard or his son was like yeah that'd be cool.
And then Ben Hardy said well do you think you're going to go pro and his son said no.
And that's because there are so many paths to get to college level like that was his goal college level.
But his real goal was pro but he was just focused on college level because that is kind of like the smart goal the realistic and I say realistic with quotes like but or not quotes but bunny ears.
That's kind of like the realistic goal the smart goal that he set for himself to go college.
And that's what society teaches us back to the pendulum.
We society teaches us to set smart goals because they're achievable or realistic and I say these all with bunny ears.
And that's another way that society keeps us down keeps us conditioned to stay trapped in the box.
And so Benjamin Hardy's son or no.
And Ben Hardy yesterday when he was on the story he drew took out a whiteboard and started drawing and he drew like 20 arrows.
All right so he drew three lines on top of each other on the bottom line was where you are now on the middle line was college level and then the top line was professional.
And so he pretty much drew like 20 lines going up to the college level.
These represent all the different paths to get to college.
So there are a lot of different paths to take to get to the professional level.
But then he only drew like again there was 20 paths to get to college level when in reality there's like thousands a lot of different paths to get to college level.
But a lot of different coaches to get to college level as well.
So you can pretty much randomly take any coach and you'll be able to get to college level and any path.
And then but there's only like one or two lines that he drew that extended all the way up to the professional level.
So there is only like a specific way one or two ways to get to pro or one or two coaches that can actually get you professional level.
And so when he told his son that he was like are you on the right path to go pro and the son was like no.
And so pretty much now I don't know how the story turned out.
I forgot if he even said it but I assume the son is now going to choose the right coach that can get him to professional level and he'll want to achieve the college level.
But he's got a real big golden animal.
So now he's filtering all of his actions through the big massive seemingly impossible goal because that's like the whole point of the 10 X is you're than 2 X from what I could understand is if you filter all your decisions through realistic.
And I say that with bunny ears again realistic goals.
Then you're kind of just going to marginally improve and your your vision is kind of like going to take in everything your filter.
The way you see the world to your filter all the information you filter in you're going to take in like those 20 different paths like all the different paths to get to college level.
But what you need to be doing is you got to set that massive impossible impossible seeming goal.
And then that will make you filter all of the things and you'll realize oh these 20 paths they all suck.
Only three of them are good.
Only three of them can actually get to get me to where I need to go.
So now you filter a very specific small amount because he also talks about the 80 20 rule 80% of the actions.
So this is the 2 X mindset the mindset of taking the 20 paths to get to college.
80% of your actions are comfortable old like you're you're good at them and only 20% are new that are getting you to the next level.
So that is like 80% of the paths possible are not going to are going to get you to where you want but only 20% are going to get you further.
And then the opposite.
So if you reverse it you have the 10 X mindset if you're only doing 20% of your daily actions as what you're comfortable with what's natural or not natural.
But what is like comfortable easy you've done for a while you're used to and then 80% are brand new because you're filtering out all of that like you're filtering out all of the stuff now.
So now you've only dialed in on the new stuff.
And now you're just focused on the new when it when the with the 2 X mindset you're focused on the like old mostly.
So that's like the 10 X 10 X and the 2 X mindset and I hope you guys can see why I'm so excited about this stuff.
I'm so looking forward to this.
I'm really looking forward to like learning about this stuff.
And that's why foundation is extremely important because I'm taking action.
So I'm like the way I see it is I'm pretty much guaranteed success.
Like I'm guaranteed success.
It's not a matter it's not a matter of whether I'm going to be successful or not.
It's a matter of when will it happen.
Like as long as I stay on this current path of podcasting every day.
And just recently I added in posting three Tiktoks YouTube shorts like three Tiktoks every day to like kind of expand my reach and get more people to follow me and get a bigger audience and possibly get people to listen to the podcast more.
As long as I keep doing this every day.
I'm guaranteed success.
So now that I have success in the bag.
I'm guaranteed success just by these small things.
Just focusing on these things since I don't know my path forward like they're all talking about building the linchpin model out through your business like building product service challenge webinar.
Free webinar like all these things all these strategies for business.
I'm not worried about them.
I'm just focusing on one thing and that's what you guys need to do.
You need to start taking action.
I started taking action working on the podcast.
I focus on one thing only podcast only podcast.
And once I got positive feedback loop on my podcast.
I went on to Tiktoks YouTube shorts all this stuff.
And again it took me 70 days to get to the YouTube shorts Tiktoks and I was recording for the first like week but then I realized I needed to just focus on podcast because you have to focus on one thing.
And then once you're at the point where you know that you're guaranteed success it may take a year.
It may take one week.
I don't know.
It took me personally like 70 days.
I what I did have the mindset that I was guaranteed success but I didn't really believe it until recently when I got to funnel hacking life like now I believe it like I said earlier I had suspicions that podcasting every day was important and valuable.
That's why I was doing it but I didn't know yet.
And so fun like in life confirm my suspicions.
I was hearing from people who are on the path just a couple years ahead of me and they're saying yes this is exactly they're shining light on the path ahead of me.
They're saying this is exactly what you need to do.
So that is why now I'm at the positive feedback loop.
I'm pretty much guaranteed success.
I'm only focusing business wise on podcasting and YouTube shorts.
I'm only focusing on content creation.
So now I have now I'm only focused now that I have all that guaranteed all that stuff push it to the side.
I'm doing that anyways I'm doing that by default every single day.
So now I can start.
I have been doing this but now I can focus 100% on my foundation.
I'm building up my business but now I'm going to focus on my foundation my mindset my worldview because that's how you explode your growth because you need to start.
Destroying your worldview because you're okay your world you can actually tell how valuable your worldview is to you or you can actually tell how good your worldview is simply by taking a look at your life.
If your life is crappy and you hate it well then you need to improve your worldview because your worldview is obviously terrible.
But if your world is amazing then your worldview is going to be amazing as well.
And fun fact the worldview actually starts and then causes the life but it takes a little while it's the mirror principle of Transurfing is it takes a little bit while to reflect back the worldview takes a delay there's delay.
So fix your worldview and then your life will reflect that so that's why I'm focusing on my guarantees.
I'm guaranteed success as long as I keep doing podcasting.
So that's guaranteed I have a positive I have a positive feedback loop formed with podcasting I'm not going to stop.
Now what I have to do is figure out how to improve my mindset which is what I've been doing for the past six months.
I have to figure out how I can improve my mindset improve and learn and implement this 10x is easier than 2x learn and improve met this 10x mindset mentality.
So I can explode my growth I hope you guys are getting what I'm saying because this is extremely important I really wish that I listened to this episode one year ago.
I really wish that I had access to this episode because this is exactly how you be successful.
This may sound motivational inspirational.
No I'm telling you exactly what you do and I learned all this from the inspirational speakers.
There's this amazing thing that in Transurfing is called being detached from the game.
It's kind of being awake being consciously present.
And so when I was listening to these speakers at times I was immersed I'll be honest and at other times I was awake and I was kind of looking at it from a wider lens and I was realizing like yeah these guys are exactly like you.
If there's anything you take away from the entire fun life event it should be the concepts that the inspirational speakers talk about because those are the important things that actually get you forward.
Those are the things that actually dramatically revolutionize the way you look at life and the way you experience life and as a result your life will be amazing.
Man I still have 30 seconds left but that would have been an amazing way to just end the video.
But as you guys can see I'm getting a lot better at this every single day.
I'm only on episode 73 or 74.
I'm only on episode 74 and I don't know how many people are listening to this but once I get actually really good like by the time people start listening I'll actually be way better.
