1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000 I'm at a crossroads right now. 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:09,880 So right now I just got home from Funnel Hacking Live. 3 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,520 And let me tell you all about it. 4 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,860 It was great and I was actually recording while I was there. 5 00:00:15,860 --> 00:00:21,520 So the past few episodes, I think the past four episodes, I recorded at Funnel Hacking 6 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:22,720 Live. 7 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:30,240 So in Florida, I was at a trip and it was just a trip with me and my friend Franklin. 8 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,760 And we went to Funnel Hacking Live, got a lot of information. 9 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:41,200 And we brought home this one book called 10X is Easier Than 2X. 10 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:46,840 And inside this book, it's basically exactly what the name says. 11 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,360 10X is Easier Than 2X. 12 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:56,280 So the 10X mindset is essentially, let me explain this first. 13 00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:02,600 Throughout your life on normal living, you're 80% of the things that you're doing right 14 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:07,960 now, if you're just an average person, normal person, 80% of the things that you're doing 15 00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:09,600 are comfortable. 16 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:15,040 They're old, they're like habits, they're comfortable for you to do. 17 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,200 And then the 20% are things that are moving you forward. 18 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,560 Things that are moving you towards your goals. 19 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,720 And this 10X, so that's the 2X mindset. 20 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,800 That's basically you marginally improving and that's what smart goals are. 21 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:39,120 It's basically 2X is improving a little bit at every moment, improving a tiny amount and 22 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,840 then going for small goals. 23 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:50,400 And the issue with that is you can achieve a small goal through many different means. 24 00:01:50,400 --> 00:02:00,840 There are thousands of ways to earn $100,000, but there's a very few amount of ways to earn 25 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,480 a million dollars. 26 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,960 That's pretty much like the premise. 27 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:11,360 So he imagined like three lines on top of each other. 28 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:16,960 Three horizontal lines that are stacked on top of each other with spaces in between them. 29 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,240 So this is the story that he gave. 30 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:26,000 Dr. Benjamin Hardy, he actually spoke at the event. 31 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,640 And the story he gave was his son is a tennis player and he's really good and his coach 32 00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:34,360 asked him, why not go pro? 33 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,120 And so his son was like, I don't know, I want to go to college. 34 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,320 Well, no, his coach asked, what are your goals? 35 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,560 And then his son said, I want to go to college. 36 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,280 And then the coach was like, why not go pro? 37 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,120 And then the son was like, I'm not sure. 38 00:02:49,120 --> 00:03:01,560 So then in the car after that talk with the coach, Dr. Hardy's son and himself were talking 39 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:09,400 and Dr. Hardy was asked, so do you think you're on the right path? 40 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,800 Are you going to be able to go to college? 41 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,080 And his son was like, yeah, maybe. 42 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,800 And then he was like, do you want to go to pro? 43 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,240 Do you want to go pro? 44 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,240 And he was like, yeah. 45 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,560 And then he was like, well, do you think you're on the right path for pro? 46 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:23,960 Do you think you're doing enough? 47 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,320 And then his son was like, no. 48 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:31,120 And it's because there are thousands of ways, thousands of pathways to get to the college 49 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,120 level. 50 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:38,040 So imagine the three lines again, the horizontal lines all stacked on top of each other with 51 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,280 spaces in between. 52 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:45,080 On the bottom level, it's labeled, the bottom line is labeled where you're at right now, 53 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,760 like current life. 54 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,080 And then the middle line is labeled college. 55 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,080 And then the top line is labeled professional. 56 00:03:54,080 --> 00:04:01,680 So basically there are hundreds of thousands of arrows pointing up towards that college level. 57 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,160 Like there are many different pathways to get to college. 58 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:09,320 If college is your goal, you can pretty much not have to worry about making drastic changes 59 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,680 and you don't really have to. 60 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,720 You can basically do the majority of things you're already doing. 61 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,120 Maybe you'll have to make a few small tweaks here and there. 62 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:23,600 But for the college route, you can pretty much do what you're already doing. 63 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:28,560 And the thing is with the college, there are so many different paths to get there. 64 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:34,040 So you have this thing called analysis, paralysis by analysis. 65 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,760 So it's like, you don't really know, you have too many options. 66 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,680 So you're paralyzed by all the options. 67 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:50,400 But then only like who one or two arrows actually reach all the way to the pro level. 68 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:56,480 So there's thousands of arrows that only stop at the middle line, the college level. 69 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,840 But like maybe one or two arrows go all the way up to the professional level. 70 00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:03,520 So those arrows represent pathways. 71 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:09,560 So that basically means that you can basically do anything you want to get to the college 72 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:10,640 level. 73 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,760 But there are only a few ways to get to the pro level. 74 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:20,120 You pretty much only have a few options or one option. 75 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:27,240 So that brings me to where I started this episode, where I'm at a crossroads right now. 76 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:35,560 So originally my goal was, and I'm over the past couple of weeks, I was saying that I 77 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:41,260 wasn't going to tell you guys my goals, but I think it's different. 78 00:05:41,260 --> 00:05:47,880 So I, after liking live, I learned one, don't tell your big goals to small minds. 79 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:54,040 So yes, don't tell your goals, your big aspirations to people with small minds. 80 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,080 So like normal people, average people. 81 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:05,880 And then another thing is do not brag about your goal, just declare it. 82 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,760 And I think that it's okay to declare your goal. 83 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,880 So I'm going to be declaring my goal now. 84 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:19,400 And my goal was to just go move to Hawaii, just move to Hawaii and become a surfer. 85 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,120 Now originally that seemed kind of impossible for me. 86 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,680 Now I hadn't achieved it. 87 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:31,680 I haven't achieved it yet, but I don't think that that, now I'm thinking that it's like 88 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:32,680 too easy. 89 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,340 I think that it's actually possible. 90 00:06:36,340 --> 00:06:43,880 So when I, Dr. Hardy actually wrote down, he actually, at the end of his speech of explaining 91 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:51,760 all about the 10X process, he actually talked about, he actually had us write down in our 92 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,760 notebook our goal. 93 00:06:54,760 --> 00:07:04,120 And so naturally I wrote down, my goal is to be, to move to Hawaii and surf every day. 94 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,600 So then, and then right when I finished writing that down, he said, again, a reminder, your 95 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:15,960 goal should be so big that you would think it's impossible to achieve. 96 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,800 And so I immediately crossed it out because I knew that it was not impossible. 97 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,160 I knew it was possible. 98 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:30,000 And then I was like trying to think of a different goal to write, but I realized that it wasn't 99 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,000 going to come right away. 100 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,160 So I kind of just let it be for then, and then stayed in the moment and listened to the next 101 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,160 speaker. 102 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:44,200 And then eventually, actually this morning is when my next goal, or actually my next, 103 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:52,600 my big goal actually came into fruition over a few days because my original, I wanted to 104 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:57,040 get the two comic club, which is make $1 million. 105 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:02,720 That was my original, that was one of my original like goals before Funalaki Life. 106 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:08,760 But now I want two comic club X, which is make $10 million. 107 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,680 And I want to do it in one year. 108 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,440 And this is an impossible goal for me. 109 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,800 Like I have $0 in my bank account. 110 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:24,160 I have a little bit more than that, but I have not made a single penny off of my business. 111 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,600 And so that's because I didn't really have a clear goal. 112 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,480 So now I have a clear goal. 113 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:37,320 And that's like one of the first steps to the 10X process to find your clear goal. 114 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:47,080 And so what my clear goal is, is to move to Hawaii and become a surfer, but also live 115 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:53,040 in such a way where I have the exact lifestyle that I want and I can, I'm never burdened 116 00:08:53,040 --> 00:09:02,240 by money and I'm in the 10X, 10X or two comma club X, two CCX. 117 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:10,560 And that means that I have $10 million earned and I have the house that I want, which I 118 00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:12,040 don't really know what house I want. 119 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:18,360 I just kind of want to get a nice house, which I guess I should fix that. 120 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:23,120 So that was my goal that came about probably yesterday or the day before. 121 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,480 That was my new goal. 122 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,640 So it's basically the same goal that I had before, except a little bit more lavish and 123 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:34,400 a lot more like, what's the word? 124 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:39,480 A lot more, just a lot more extravagant. 125 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:46,260 And so this morning actually, while I was in my, I was doing my balancing. 126 00:09:46,260 --> 00:09:50,800 So every morning I balance on a medicine ball for like 10 minutes. 127 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:55,520 And this is to help me improve my balance so I can be a better surfer when I actually 128 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,240 get to that stage in my life. 129 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,000 And I'm like, I'm balancing on my ball this morning. 130 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,640 And then this image pops up into my head. 131 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:16,960 And it's, because usually when I'm balancing, I am, I'm visualizing me surfing. 132 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:21,480 I'm kind of like imagining that I'm surfing a lot of times when I'm balancing. 133 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,760 So that's like a cool visualization exercise that I do. 134 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:29,680 It's another thing that's a guaranteed visualization because you need to be visualizing every single 135 00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:31,560 day. 136 00:10:31,560 --> 00:10:35,800 And I don't really visualize often throughout the day. 137 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:41,340 So and there's one thing that one rule that I know is true. 138 00:10:41,340 --> 00:10:47,540 And it's anything that is in your morning routine is a guaranteed thing to happen every 139 00:10:47,540 --> 00:10:51,320 single day, which is why I have a four hour long morning routine. 140 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,880 Like all of these things are guaranteed to happen every single morning. 141 00:10:55,880 --> 00:11:00,280 So that's why I extended my morning routine so long so I can put in more and more things 142 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,760 to have in my morning routine. 143 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:07,400 So that's why I put in visualization in my morning routine through my meditation as well 144 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:13,400 as my surf, not surfing, as well as my medicine ball balancing. 145 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,240 But while I'm balancing on my medicine ball, I'm visualizing my surfboard and then this 146 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,280 image just pops up. 147 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:26,480 And it's, it's basically the same image that I see in my surfing visualization. 148 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:31,200 And mind you, I don't really, I can't really see when I'm visualizing like I'm kind of 149 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,360 a little bit blind in the mind's eye. 150 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:38,040 So I can like feel the energies of it's, it's weird. 151 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,800 I don't really know how to explain it other than that. 152 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,000 That's like best explanation I have for my visualization. 153 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:50,820 So I'm like on this surfboard and then this image pops up and it's just the same image 154 00:11:50,820 --> 00:11:55,120 except my surfboard got a new color to it. 155 00:11:55,120 --> 00:12:00,840 It's got a new like decal, basically like a new paint, paint job. 156 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:06,200 And so before my surfboard was just plain, I don't really know what color it was. 157 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,480 I just, well, I didn't really imagine a color. 158 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,640 I just imagined the board. 159 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:19,360 But now my surfboard is all black and in the middle, it has in golden colored letters, 160 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,000 2 comma club X. 161 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:30,680 And that's pretty much just an all black surfboard with 2 comma club X written on it. 162 00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:35,600 And so that is exactly what I'm visualizing now. 163 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:40,160 Like that's my new goal, surfing with the 2 comma club X, but that's not, that's not 164 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,960 all, that's not all. 165 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:47,760 But another thing that popped up in my head at the exact same time is one that surfboard, 166 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,320 but two, my swimsuit. 167 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:58,960 My swimsuit was like black, all black with on the left side, on the left leg of the swimsuit. 168 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,520 It said 2 CCX in gold fine. 169 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:08,880 It's very minimalist, but that's pretty much like my new, my new slide. 170 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:15,440 It's basically me imagining myself with the 2 comma club surfboard and 2 comma, or 2 comma 171 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,280 club X surfboard and 2 comma club X shorts. 172 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:26,880 So I could get those before I got $10 million, but that I would never do that. 173 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:27,880 That's dishonorable. 174 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:34,760 In order for me to get those, I have to get the 2 comma club X. 175 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:39,000 I have to make enough, I have to make 10 mil. 176 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,480 So that's basically my new, my new goal. 177 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:49,040 And I'm reading 10 X's easier than 2 X's as I just said, but I'm on probably page 80 178 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,960 right now, maybe like 75. 179 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:57,800 And there's one thing that I realized. 180 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:03,160 So this is getting back to the first thing that I said of how I'm at a crossroads right 181 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:04,320 now. 182 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:05,680 I'm getting to it. 183 00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:11,400 This whole episode so far has just been context, but I'll get to where I'm at the crossroads. 184 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:12,400 I'll explain that. 185 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,120 But at first I have to explain this one thing. 186 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,360 I was absent all week last week from school. 187 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,240 And by the way, I'm a senior in high school. 188 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:27,480 And so I was absent all week last week from school to go to Florida, to go to the business 189 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,320 conference for an acumen. 190 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:34,840 And when I come back, I'm reading this 10 X's easier than 2 X's. 191 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:43,800 I'm realizing that you have to ditch like 80% of your old habits, old lifestyle, old people, 192 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:49,920 old like actions, old schedule, everything that you're doing that's comfortable, that's 193 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:50,920 holding you back. 194 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,480 You have to ditch it. 195 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:59,320 And then you have to, in order to achieve the 10 X process, which is like true evolution 196 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:07,280 and true growth, you have to strive for that 20 or that 20%, which is all of the new things 197 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:08,520 that you're doing. 198 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:15,560 So for me, the 20%, I believe is podcasting every day, as well as just recently I started 199 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:23,120 TikTok, posting three TikToks every day. 200 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,400 So I haven't actually posted any yet as of recording. 201 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:31,760 I just scheduled them because they're kind of linked to every episode that I record. 202 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:38,560 So I basically have three daily lessons that I record. 203 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:43,880 So in my description of the podcast, this has evolved over time, but recently I'd been 204 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:51,320 doing three kind of descriptions or three, what's the words? 205 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:52,320 Three lessons. 206 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:53,760 So I basically have three daily lessons. 207 00:15:53,760 --> 00:16:00,400 And so I take each of those and make a video, like a short form video, like 20 to a minute 208 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,000 long, 20 seconds to a minute long. 209 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,440 And so I basically take those and then record that. 210 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:11,760 And I post three TikToks every day, which they're not scheduled until two days from 211 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:12,760 now. 212 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:18,880 And now I'm recording this on the second and it's going to go live on the fourth. 213 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,080 And that's another thing. 214 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:25,720 Over break or not break, over the past week, I missed two days of episodes. 215 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,640 Just, it was out of my control. 216 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:33,000 I like travel days and I was using my friend's computer. 217 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,040 So there is two days that I missed. 218 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,840 So I'm back at five episodes. 219 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,680 Like this is going to be my fifth episode that's scheduled. 220 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:46,600 So I'm going to have to double up episodes again soon to catch up to seven. 221 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,760 But to where I'm at the crossroads. 222 00:16:49,760 --> 00:17:01,280 So with that 80, 20, 80%, 20% explained, another thing is he was saying that you have 223 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:05,000 to dramatically like change everything. 224 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,280 And there was, I was thinking about this one thing and it's this one thing that's been 225 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:17,840 kind of on the back of my mind for the past couple months, honestly, since like summer 226 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:18,840 break. 227 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:25,160 And so it's been on my mind for the past like four months, maybe, maybe three, three to 228 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,120 four months, and it's to drop out of high school. 229 00:17:28,120 --> 00:17:33,840 And I'm saying this quietly because I don't want my parents to hear because I'm in this 230 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:41,120 kind of state where I over the past three months, I've been like kind of wanting to drop out 231 00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:42,120 of high school. 232 00:17:42,120 --> 00:17:46,760 And I feel like my parents kind of know because I have mentioned it before. 233 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,200 I have said I should just drop out. 234 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,760 I have said things like that. 235 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,360 But I'm not sure if they're, if they know I'm actually serious about it. 236 00:17:55,360 --> 00:17:58,520 But I'm thinking about this thing. 237 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,560 This action is on the back of my mind. 238 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,920 And while I'm reading this book and every single thing that he's saying that relates 239 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:12,680 to 10x corresponds with me dropping out of high school. 240 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:20,560 So literally, literally nothing that I'm doing in school is 10x. 241 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,320 Like it's all 2x and it's all holding me back. 242 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,080 It's that 80% that's holding me back. 243 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:33,520 And what I realized is that this morning I had this. 244 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:38,920 So I hope you guys are familiar by now with the terms of Transurfing called the heart 245 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,840 and the mind. 246 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:47,400 But if you're not familiar, the heart or the mind is basically what is talking to itself 247 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,120 all day long. 248 00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:58,520 And the mind is, it's basically logical, it uses reasoning and it like talks, it like 249 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,760 perceives information from the outside world. 250 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:09,320 And then the heart is, it knows things, it feels things and it's emotional and it's creative. 251 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:10,920 And the heart actually knows everything. 252 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:18,800 So basically in most people the heart is kind of drowned out, like the whisperings of the 253 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:27,000 heart or the input of the heart that it's trying to help the you is drowned out. 254 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:32,720 All that noise made by the heart is drowned out by the constant chatter, the inner monologue 255 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,560 of the mind. 256 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:38,080 So we don't really hear our heart that often, we have to look for it. 257 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:45,760 And so I have been way more conscientious about looking for this noise, like looking 258 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:51,040 for this Russell the Morning Stars, this is what it's called by Vadim Zan. 259 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:55,960 And I've been a lot more conscious about listening to this noise. 260 00:19:55,960 --> 00:20:00,120 And this morning, let me explain this first. 261 00:20:00,120 --> 00:20:01,200 There's inner tension. 262 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,640 So whenever you're making decisions, your mind either does, or your heart either has 263 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,920 one of three things, inner tension, which means that it's a bad decision. 264 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,520 Like you don't want to do it. 265 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,280 Like the heart does not want to do it. 266 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:18,760 And then there's another thing is it just doesn't have any reaction. 267 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,680 There's no tension or peace. 268 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,480 And that's just, it just means that it's okay. 269 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:26,480 It's fine. 270 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,680 Like it's neither good nor bad, it's just it's. 271 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,800 So that action is, in general, it's okay. 272 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:39,080 And then there's a third one, which is inner peace, like inner joy, inner bliss. 273 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,800 And that whenever you experience that, you know that you're on the right path, right 274 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,640 track. 275 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:49,560 And so this morning, I'm getting ready to go to school. 276 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,400 It's been over a week since I've been at school. 277 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,280 And I'm getting ready. 278 00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:02,200 And the whole time I'm having this inner tension, especially while I'm biking to school, I have 279 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:03,200 this inner tension. 280 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,400 It just feels like my heart is screaming no. 281 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:13,320 Because at Funnel Hat King Live, we saw like eight speakers. 282 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,280 So there was probably like 30 speakers on there. 283 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:22,320 And we saw probably like, maybe eight is an exaggeration, but at least four speakers that 284 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,680 were high school dropouts. 285 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,640 And the majority of the speakers didn't go to college, I think. 286 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,280 Actually, I'm not sure. 287 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:36,320 But literally four of the speakers were high school dropouts, and they said it too. 288 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,360 And so that's another thing. 289 00:21:38,360 --> 00:21:43,120 And the other thing is that when I was watching the award ceremony, like right now I'm just 290 00:21:43,120 --> 00:21:49,880 listening to all the, like a lot more examples that is basically getting me to go deeper 291 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:54,880 on this kind of decision or desire to drop out. 292 00:21:54,880 --> 00:22:00,600 And so we're watching this award ceremony where people are walking across the stage 293 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:06,200 receiving an award, the Two Comma Club Award, which you can, there's people that earn the 294 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:11,400 Two Comma Club Award, which is one mil, Two Comma Club X Award, which is 10 mil, and then 295 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:16,960 Two Comma Club C Award, which is anywhere between 25 to 100 mil. 296 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:23,280 And I'm watching these guys, and there's like probably like 36 year olds walk across that 297 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,160 stage that got one million dollars. 298 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:27,160 Six year olds. 299 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:31,280 Like they may be smarter than me, but they're six years old. 300 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,480 Like I can definitely do better than them. 301 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:40,560 And like I can definitely, if a six year old can do it, I can do it, you know? 302 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,680 And so that's another thing is like they're not even in high school and they're already 303 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:45,680 a millionaire. 304 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:50,760 So that's another thing that kind of confirmed my suspicions of dropping out. 305 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:57,280 And so I'm like extremely kind of inner tense, inner tension. 306 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:02,960 And I'm at school and even like the last night I was talking to my mom and I was like, this 307 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:10,120 is unacceptable that it's unacceptable that, or no, I was saying like I spent like five 308 00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:15,080 hours at school and she was like, no, it's like four hours. 309 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,320 And then we did the math and it was four hours. 310 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:23,160 But then I was like, okay, but I think about school a lot outside of school. 311 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,920 So I'm thinking about it and I'm focusing a lot of energy and attention on it outside 312 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:28,920 of school. 313 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,200 And plus I have homework. 314 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:37,640 So it's like, no, it's like I'm spending way more than five hours at school basically. 315 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:42,920 And I was thinking like this is unacceptable that I'm thinking about school at all. 316 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,240 Like I shouldn't be thinking about school. 317 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:45,560 It's such a waste. 318 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,120 It's a waste. 319 00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:54,680 And so then I go to school this morning with all this inner tension. 320 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,120 And you know what the craziest thing is? 321 00:23:57,120 --> 00:24:07,360 I was gone for an entire week and I was expecting a lot of work because my mom was kind of like, 322 00:24:07,360 --> 00:24:08,880 you got to check in with your teacher. 323 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:14,880 She was like getting on my case about getting all my work done for all my missing work done. 324 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:22,160 Because naturally I was expecting a lot of work and literally probably an hour of work 325 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:23,640 is what I missed. 326 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,760 An hour for an entire week of school. 327 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,520 So let's say I go to school for four hours a day. 328 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:36,520 I missed 20 hours of school and you know how much work I missed? 329 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:37,520 One hour. 330 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,480 Like that alone is ridiculous. 331 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:45,280 I'm just sitting in school wasting my day when there's only like one hour of actual 332 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:46,280 work. 333 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,760 And by the way, the work is like ridiculous. 334 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,800 It's stupid stuff. 335 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:55,720 And so I'm okay. 336 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,680 So then I go to school. 337 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,480 I'm at school sitting there wasting my day again. 338 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:09,120 And I come home and like usual my parents are like, hey, how's your day? 339 00:25:09,120 --> 00:25:10,560 And I was like, good. 340 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:11,560 That's normal. 341 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,000 I always respond that way. 342 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,920 And this whole time when my parents were talking to me, I'm just thinking like, I want to drop 343 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:19,920 out. 344 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:20,920 I want to drop out. 345 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:21,920 I want to drop out. 346 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:29,800 And I like had this extreme desire to say out loud, I want to drop out. 347 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,520 To declare that I wanted to drop out. 348 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:38,000 But I held my tongue because first of all, that was not a good environment to say it 349 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,480 because my mom was about to get on a call. 350 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,880 And so I didn't want to just drop that bomb. 351 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,720 And so I kind of just held it there. 352 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,880 But this is something that's been on my mind. 353 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,640 And so after that, I was making food. 354 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:57,760 And then it was like, after a minute, after a minute, after a minute, this thought was 355 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,880 getting stronger and stronger and stronger in my mind. 356 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:01,880 Like, I want to drop out. 357 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:02,880 I want to drop out. 358 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:03,880 I want to drop out. 359 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:08,160 I want to keep on getting this desire to and urge to drop out. 360 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:13,800 And so I go in my room because I can't deal with all this. 361 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,000 I want to clear my mind. 362 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:20,640 So I go in my room, take out my journal, and I write like, I don't remember exactly where 363 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:26,360 I wrote, but I was thinking like, is this is dropping out of school 10x? 364 00:26:26,360 --> 00:26:33,320 Is dropping out of school my next 10x or 10 phase in my 10x growth? 365 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,240 Or is dropping out of school going to allow me to 10x my life? 366 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:42,600 Is dropping out of school, but like, do I really want to drop out of school? 367 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,400 Is dropping out of school on my path? 368 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:50,560 And so I wrote down a bunch of different questions relating to that, just to like clear my mind, 369 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,680 just to release those questions from my mind and write them on paper. 370 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,760 And then I just got to the point where this idea popped in my head after I was writing 371 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:04,480 these, probably filled up half of a page of these questions, and this idea popped in my 372 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:09,200 mind that was to write a T chart, pros and cons. 373 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:17,400 And so I created a T chart and I labeled the left side pros, the right side cons. 374 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,640 And then I labeled it dropping out of school. 375 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:28,400 And so I went through the pro side and it was, I'll ease up a lot of time, ease up a 376 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:32,000 lot of mind power, brain power. 377 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:39,280 I'll kind of, I don't remember all the stuff I wrote, but I probably wrote like five items 378 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,440 on the left side. 379 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:48,720 And then on the right side, I didn't really know what to write. 380 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:57,920 And then I wrote down possible or unforeseen risks or unforeseen consequences. 381 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,320 But I wrote that with question mark because they're unforeseen. 382 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,200 I'm not sure what they would be. 383 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,000 And I'm not even sure if there will be any consequences. 384 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:10,800 I'm sure my parents would give consequences, but there was a lot of things that I've done 385 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:16,600 in the past like year that are, they're only one thing that I can think of. 386 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:22,840 Like I literally bought a tickets to Funalaki live before even telling my parents and they 387 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,400 were not happy about that. 388 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:34,840 And then I, but literally after a couple hours of letting it sink into their mind, they were 389 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,320 like okay with it. 390 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:40,960 And they were actually like encouraging me to go forward with it. 391 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,360 So that like shifted. 392 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:48,160 And so I don't, I'm not sure if dropping out of school will be much different because 393 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:53,240 another thing is first of all, when I declared that I was not going to go to college for 394 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,960 the first time, they were like uneasy. 395 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:02,080 Naturally they were uneasy, but they were like, okay, we'll support you. 396 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:08,240 And they've been like, I feel like in the beginning they were just extremely tense about that 397 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:14,760 decision and like they were on the surface supporting me and like on inside they didn't 398 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,440 want me to not go to college. 399 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,120 And so they were still kind of holding on to that thread. 400 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,800 And so they were saying, you still have to apply to colleges, you still have to apply 401 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,440 to school when the time comes. 402 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,280 And I was saying like, I'm not doing that. 403 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:29,920 And they were saying, yes, you are doing that. 404 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:34,280 So then to end the argument, I just, I just agreed that I'll do it. 405 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:43,920 And then another thing is that they didn't want me to drop all of my classes to get a 406 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:50,600 half day for this first semester and they also didn't necessarily want me to graduate 407 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:51,600 early. 408 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:57,120 So those are two more things that kind of, but eventually with time they shifted and 409 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,800 they ease, they were okay with it. 410 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:05,040 And then like just more and more things like all of these things were originally my parents 411 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,040 were not like didn't want. 412 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,480 And then over time they became okay with it. 413 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:15,360 So I'm thinking like would dropping out of school be any different? 414 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,240 Because eventually they allowed me to not even apply to colleges. 415 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:20,760 They were like, okay, don't even worry about it. 416 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,680 You don't have to apply anymore. 417 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,800 So I'd never applied. 418 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:32,560 And so they're like, all of these things are, I'm like, they're changing their minds. 419 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,840 And now they're like encouraging me. 420 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:41,880 And I feel like, like, so I did just say that they were on the surface. 421 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:46,960 They were on the surface supporting me for college, but not inside. 422 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,960 But now over time they've shifted. 423 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:55,240 And I do believe that they are supporting me 100% on the surface and inside. 424 00:30:55,240 --> 00:31:02,680 And so I'm not sure like, obviously dropping out of high school is a lot bigger of a deal 425 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,200 than all of the other things. 426 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,360 It's like the biggest thing. 427 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:10,120 But all of these things were bigger than the last. 428 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:14,760 Like graduating early was bigger than not going to college. 429 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:20,920 Having a half day, having like four classes was bigger than like not going to college 430 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,400 and graduating early. 431 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,000 Like all these things were bigger than last. 432 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:32,120 So the next step is dropping out is bigger than graduating early. 433 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:37,920 And so I'm thinking like, let's go back to the T-Chart. 434 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:42,200 On the con side, I wrote unforeseen consequences. 435 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,200 So I'm not sure if I get kicked out. 436 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,840 I don't think I'd ever get kicked out of my house, but I'm not sure like the stress or 437 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:55,320 the struggles because another thing. 438 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:56,320 Okay. 439 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,920 So one thing that I wrote down. 440 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,680 So I wrote down two things on the con side of the T-Chart. 441 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,760 I wrote down unforeseen consequences with the question mark. 442 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:10,880 And then the second thing I wrote down was my status will lower. 443 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:16,480 I will lower my status amongst low status people, average people. 444 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:23,480 So my status will be dropped lower amongst average, everyday, ordinary people. 445 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:31,320 So amongst people who have like college degrees, amongst most people who are part of the system, 446 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,440 like people are like, oh, where'd you go to college? 447 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:37,800 And then if you say you didn't go to college, they're already like, okay, you suck. 448 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,480 Like they're already thinking badly of you. 449 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,440 And so if you're like, oh, I didn't go to college. 450 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,240 And then they're like, oh, where'd you go to high school? 451 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,360 And you're like, oh, I dropped out. 452 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,920 Like if you say I'm a high school dropout, that's already you're lowering your status 453 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,520 amongst those people. 454 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,560 But that's a con. 455 00:32:55,560 --> 00:33:02,800 But it doesn't really matter because another part of the 10X process is your life and the 456 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,120 people around you are going to be radically different. 457 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:13,560 So these ordinary people won't even, like their opinions won't even matter. 458 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:19,720 And it's like, once you get to, like once I achieve my goal of being a surfer with the 459 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:28,760 10X surfboard, 10, 2 comma club X surfboard, then I will like, it doesn't matter if I'm 460 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,080 a high school dropout. 461 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,400 Like there's no, like that does not matter. 462 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,520 And even now, if I dropped out of high school right now, I still don't think that it would 463 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:37,800 matter much. 464 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:38,800 And I'm not sure. 465 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,120 I don't think that it would be like on my conscience at all. 466 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:47,320 Like if anything, it would just completely liberate me from like, it would just give 467 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,640 me infinite freedom. 468 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:57,560 And so I'm thinking like these low, low status people won't even matter. 469 00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:04,840 And then it's also like, when those, when those speakers, when those like four speakers 470 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:09,480 were on stage and they were talking and they said they were high school dropouts, I was 471 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,040 like, I didn't think badly of them at all. 472 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:13,040 I looked up to them. 473 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:14,480 I was inspired by them. 474 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:19,240 And I've seen this time and time again throughout other people, like high school dropouts become 475 00:34:19,240 --> 00:34:20,240 millionaire. 476 00:34:20,240 --> 00:34:21,920 Like that's a flex. 477 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:30,200 Like there's literally one of the hooks, one of the ad advertisement hooks was drunk high 478 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:34,840 school dropout becomes a millionaire after reading this four-hour book. 479 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:39,560 And that was an advertisement for the book called dot com secrets. 480 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:44,240 And I believe it was Dan Henry. 481 00:34:44,240 --> 00:34:49,920 Or yeah, I think Dan Henry or Dan Kennedy, I don't even know. 482 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:58,640 I forgot his name, but that guy was, he was a high school dropout and he became a millionaire. 483 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,480 And so that was like a flex. 484 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,760 Like he, they position, they leverage that as a flex. 485 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,920 Like Iman Gazi is a high school dropout. 486 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:07,760 And that's a flex. 487 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:11,920 Like all of these things are like the high school dropout status is a flex if you're 488 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,760 a millionaire. 489 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:23,400 And so I truly cannot see any cons other than the backlash I'd receive in my family, but 490 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,320 I don't really care about that. 491 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:34,400 If going like I'm, if going, if dropping out of high school will get me on a fast lane 492 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:41,080 or fast track my life and allow me to achieve my goals quicker, better, more efficiently, 493 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,560 then I 100% want to take it. 494 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:48,200 And so I, I don't know what I want. 495 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,680 I don't know what to do to be honest. 496 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:55,160 On one hand, I literally only have two months left of school. 497 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,240 Like it's October 2nd right now. 498 00:35:58,240 --> 00:36:04,800 And I graduate on like the last day of school is like December like 16th or something around 499 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:10,960 that day in December, like halfway through December is the last day of school for me. 500 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,680 So I literally only have two months of school. 501 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,520 I've already done two months of school. 502 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:23,600 Like I'm halfway through my senior year basically a little bit under halfway through. 503 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:33,240 I'm about to hit like quarter two, but it's like all of this, like this is just what's 504 00:36:33,240 --> 00:36:38,080 on top of my mind on top of my mind. 505 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:43,280 I'm not sure, I'm not sure where to move forward if I'm going to be completely honest. 506 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:47,120 I don't know if I should just pull the trigger and drop out. 507 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:48,960 I don't know how that would look like. 508 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:54,480 And I think the reason why I'm scared to do it is because I don't know it's like fear 509 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,040 of the unknown. 510 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,560 It's like so many unknowns on the other side. 511 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:05,040 I don't know how my life will change because if I'm going to be completely honest, my life 512 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:14,200 will change, like will not change at all unless my parents react drastically. 513 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:19,560 Like that's the only way that my life will change, which I don't, I think they'll react 514 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:27,040 drastically at the start, but I don't think that I'd get kicked out. 515 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:32,760 And so I'm just thinking like this is what I really want to do, drop out of school. 516 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:40,440 And I don't know, I'm just in a very kind of tense state where I'm kind of at a crossroads 517 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:49,240 where I think that this will absolutely change my life, but I'm not sure exactly how, like 518 00:37:49,240 --> 00:37:57,480 I'm not sure what to do, which talking about this out loud, the obvious answer, like the 519 00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:01,080 answer seems obvious, just drop out. 520 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:06,440 But which leads me to another thing is should I declare I am dropping out of high school? 521 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,400 Or should I say, can I drop out of high school? 522 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:15,880 Which I feel like the first, like the, what is latter? 523 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,000 Ladder is the second one. 524 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:22,800 And then, oh yeah, the former, I feel like the former would be a better option for like 525 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:31,240 having sternness, but the last time I, like the, the, the I will drop out of high school 526 00:38:31,240 --> 00:38:34,880 will be a better option for actually getting the result. 527 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:44,080 But I feel like if I say the second one, then I'll get like, I'll get a no, but, but it 528 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:53,320 will, if I say the first one, I make it like bad rep or I don't even know. 529 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,720 That's I'm going to stop, I'm going to stop talking about that. 530 00:38:56,720 --> 00:39:06,360 But if you guys have any input, definitely, if you guys have some input, which I, I actually 531 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:10,800 know don't even give me your input because this is, this has to be a decision made by 532 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:11,800 me. 533 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:19,840 I make all of my own decisions and I could actually, if you, if you think that there 534 00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:25,200 are some things that I need to know that I'm unaware of, then definitely send that information 535 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:33,560 over at James at a son momentum.com through email because these, these decisions, like 536 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,160 decisions you have to make yourself. 537 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,240 Like that's why we have our own heart and mind. 538 00:39:37,240 --> 00:39:43,040 Like if you pass on decision making process, if you outsource it, then you outsource your 539 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:44,280 life essentially. 540 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,720 You're basically outsourcing your destiny. 541 00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:50,960 So I have to make this decision on my own because this is a monumental decision in my 542 00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:56,680 life, but I would like to have information to help me make that decision better because 543 00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:03,880 if there's information I'm missing, then I definitely want to take that in con, in consideration 544 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:09,520 because I learned in the way of the spirit man, like the man needs to make the decisions. 545 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:13,000 Do not let the, do not let the woman make the decisions. 546 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,200 Like the woman wants to be led. 547 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,800 The woman does not want to make the decisions. 548 00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:22,560 She wants the man to make the decisions for her. 549 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:27,960 But with that said, you should take into consideration any input from the woman and then make your 550 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:31,520 own decision from there, considering that input. 551 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,560 But don't make your decision based off that input. 552 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,520 Make it in consideration of that input. 553 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:41,360 Just consider the input and then make your own decision from there. 554 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:48,440 So that's it for that, that talk, that talk, that literally took the entire 40, that took 555 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:53,000 40 minutes to talk about that. 556 00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:59,280 Like I started this episode by saying I'm at a crossroads and that's the crossroads. 557 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:00,920 Do I drop out or do I not? 558 00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:01,920 Like that's the crossroads. 559 00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:08,320 I don't know where to go, but I feel like that my vision will be clearer over time because 560 00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:13,960 there's another, I want to talk about the 10x book because naturally it's on the top 561 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:19,240 of my mind and whatever book that I'm reading at the time is going to directly influence 562 00:41:19,240 --> 00:41:27,800 the outcome of the podcast, which is evident because if you look through my channel history, 563 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:35,640 like I have eight episodes of the Transurfing Principles, which that reminds me, I have 564 00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:43,200 another one that I need to record or another one or two because I have, I wrote, I'm pretty 565 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:48,440 sure before I left, I wrote out all of the Transurfing Principles or I wrote out most 566 00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,280 of them for my last review. 567 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,080 So I might have episode nine of that. 568 00:41:54,080 --> 00:42:02,080 So that might come out soon, probably not to like Thursday my time. 569 00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:12,680 So probably not to like five, maybe like three or four days. 570 00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:16,560 But this heavily influenced. 571 00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:20,520 So whatever I'm reading at the time, because I read Transurfing for like two months for 572 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:25,480 the, actually I read Transurfing for I think the entire time that I was podcasting until 573 00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,480 just recently when I stopped. 574 00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:31,520 And so whatever book I'm reading at the time influences the podcast. 575 00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,400 And right now I'm reading the 10x is easier than the 2x. 576 00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,760 So that's what I'm reading. 577 00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:45,080 And one thing that I was thinking about is one, one kind of easy way out, which I'm not 578 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:49,360 sure if it's the easy way out or it's just the best way to do things is whenever you're 579 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:54,720 reading a book that will like radically change your like decision making worldview and just 580 00:42:54,720 --> 00:42:58,760 kind of morph your mind into a better. 581 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:05,000 You are kind of like on the edge of making certain decisions like I am right now. 582 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,040 And so let me give you an example. 583 00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:14,480 When I was first reading Transurfing, I was kind of on the edge about like different things. 584 00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:20,640 I can't think of anything right now, but my mind was kind of like weak, like these Transurfing 585 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:22,240 principles were weak in my mind. 586 00:43:22,240 --> 00:43:26,320 And as a result, they were weak in implementation. 587 00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,480 So I didn't really implement that strongly. 588 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,520 And so I had two options. 589 00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:38,000 One was to use my willpower and try and implement it stronger, which would take a lot of effort 590 00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:39,000 and concentration. 591 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,200 I'm not sure if I would even do it. 592 00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:46,360 And two was to just read it again and get it stronger in my mind. 593 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,080 And so I took the second option because it was easier. 594 00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:54,120 And so I'm kind of taking that same approach with the 10X is easier than 2X. 595 00:43:54,120 --> 00:44:01,000 Like right now I still have the 2X mentality, obviously, because I'm still in high school. 596 00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:04,800 And I still have the 2X mentality for a lot of things. 597 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:10,400 Like one of the things that he talked about in Benjamin Hardy's speech, after when I came 598 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:20,200 live, he was talking about do not form your present using the past, but form your present 599 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:21,800 using the future. 600 00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:26,320 So use the future to form your present, not the past to form your present. 601 00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:31,160 Like don't use the past to form your present, but do use the future to form your present. 602 00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,120 But I was always using the past to form my present. 603 00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:37,920 I was using my past decisions to form my present life. 604 00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,280 And what got you here won't get you there. 605 00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:47,520 So what all of the like the mindset, worldview, attitude, skill set, and knowledge base that 606 00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:52,560 got you in this current position will not get you to your 10X goal. 607 00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:56,840 Like it will not get you to your next goal if it's big enough. 608 00:44:56,840 --> 00:45:01,240 And so you have to kind of let go of the old and then embrace the new. 609 00:45:01,240 --> 00:45:05,200 And so this is the thing that I'm thinking about when reading this book. 610 00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:08,240 I was thinking, okay, this is definitely the mindset. 611 00:45:08,240 --> 00:45:11,440 And I was thinking about this before I even started reading the book. 612 00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:16,920 Literally right after that speech, speech, I already made the decision to read the book 613 00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:23,920 and I made the decision to read it multiple times, at least once. 614 00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,240 Definitely not two times in a row, but I will read it. 615 00:45:26,240 --> 00:45:29,600 I definitely intend on reading it again in the future. 616 00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:33,160 Similar to how I read Transurfing two times, but not directly after. 617 00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:38,840 And I definitely plan on reading Transurfing a third time, but not, not anytime soon. 618 00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:45,680 Because I have other books on my list, but this thought that I'm not going to be able 619 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:49,640 to make these decisions or I definitely can make the decisions, but they're going to be 620 00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:51,200 really hard and difficult. 621 00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:56,240 And I have to use a lot of willpower to make these decisions and solidify this stuff in 622 00:45:56,240 --> 00:45:59,440 my brain and like actually implement this stuff. 623 00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:03,400 It's going to be hard to implement this stuff, which is why I'm just going to keep reading. 624 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:08,720 I'm going to take the easy route and keep reading it and then read it again to strengthen 625 00:46:08,720 --> 00:46:10,240 it even more. 626 00:46:10,240 --> 00:46:15,280 So then these decisions basically become second nature and they become a part of me, which 627 00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:19,680 is why I believe that reading is so valuable because I don't think you can actually get 628 00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:26,240 that value by not reading it multiple times. 629 00:46:26,240 --> 00:46:32,680 Or at least it would be extremely difficult and you have to like radically push through 630 00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,120 discomfort. 631 00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:40,480 So that's why I'm really focusing on just reading it and not making drastic decisions. 632 00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:45,760 Like one thing that, because my friend is in a very similar position where we're definitely 633 00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:51,280 wanting to drop out, but I don't want to make radical decisions unless I'm confident in my 634 00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:52,960 ability to do so. 635 00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:59,560 Because this decision has been lingering in my mind for the past couple of months. 636 00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:02,760 Like I've been wanting to drop out for the past couple of months, but it wasn't until 637 00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:09,600 literally like yesterday or two days ago or today when it got extremely strong. 638 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:18,360 Like it got extremely strong and I don't think that I have the capacity to do it, but I don't 639 00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:22,240 know if I have the knowledge base or the worldview or the skill set to do it 100%. 640 00:47:22,240 --> 00:47:25,320 Yeah, because that will absolutely destroy it. 641 00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:30,680 Like everything I come to see and know again, again, like I read that happened when I read 642 00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:34,680 Transurfing the first time, but now it's happening again. 643 00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:36,880 So that's kind of where I'm at with that. 644 00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:41,000 But another thing I want to talk about, this is extremely important. 645 00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:42,240 So listen up. 646 00:47:42,240 --> 00:47:44,000 I want to give a back story. 647 00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:50,280 So when I first started reading Transurfing, I was thinking like I developed this high 648 00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:56,840 ego and I developed this kind of very toxic attitude and mindset. 649 00:47:56,840 --> 00:48:03,400 Like I developed this superiority mindset where I developed, I learned all this new 650 00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:07,040 knowledge and I realized that no one else really knew it. 651 00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:12,720 And so I kind of started judging people internally, not externally, but I started kind of like 652 00:48:12,720 --> 00:48:15,360 putting other people down in my thoughts. 653 00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:22,000 So I was like thinking badly of other people and then I was kind of like in everything 654 00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:29,560 that I did, it was this toxic attitude of, ugh, that's like not Transurfing or like 655 00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:31,560 I just developed this really toxic attitude. 656 00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:36,760 And then thankfully I became conscious of it and then I slowly started to destroy it. 657 00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:46,800 And then I grew like now I am pretty, I believe that I'm pretty blissful. 658 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:47,800 Is that the word? 659 00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:48,800 I don't even know. 660 00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:57,920 But I'm pretty peaceful in my mind, in my thinking where I just, I take it as fact or 661 00:48:57,920 --> 00:48:59,240 I just take it as is. 662 00:48:59,240 --> 00:49:03,600 I accept the situation that not everyone knows about Transurfing. 663 00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:08,040 And now I accept that fact and I'm like, okay, that's okay. 664 00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:09,040 They can make their decision. 665 00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:10,200 I'll make mine. 666 00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:13,440 And now I just don't really worry about other people anymore. 667 00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:16,760 And I don't really have this toxic mindset anymore. 668 00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:23,120 And then when I learned about the 10X is easier than 2X, we were at Funalaki Live, me and 669 00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:27,560 my friend Franco were sitting next to each other and we're watching this and then we 670 00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:35,960 like this to radically, we got this new information that radically transformed our worldview again 671 00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,080 or our mindset again. 672 00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:43,700 So with this new information, naturally our ego started to rise because we had this new 673 00:49:43,700 --> 00:49:46,280 information that we didn't have before. 674 00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:47,600 And so we thought we were the best. 675 00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:49,760 We thought that we were amazing. 676 00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,200 We thought that we were beasts. 677 00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:57,920 And so then we started thinking like we started pointing things out like, oh, that's 2X. 678 00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:02,280 And we started developing this really toxic attitude. 679 00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:05,120 We started thinking like, ugh, that's 2X. 680 00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:07,800 And then another thing is really toxic. 681 00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,920 We were watching the 2 comma club. 682 00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:14,960 So this 2 comma club award was on our mind. 683 00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:22,400 And we were making jokes because my friend actually started this joke, but I maintained 684 00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:29,160 it and in my business incubator class, all of the years prior or like last year, the 685 00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:36,240 number one first place team made $5,000 in an entire year. 686 00:50:36,240 --> 00:50:47,400 So my friend originally made this joke because we were at the 2 comma club hangout basically. 687 00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:52,680 And then we realized that we had to go back to business incubator the next day. 688 00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:56,560 And so my friend was like, ugh, we got to go back to the 2 comma club. 689 00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:57,800 Or not the 2. 690 00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:01,120 He said, we got to go back to the 1 comma club. 691 00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:06,480 And so that was a funny joke, but it like spiraled and it started to go further and 692 00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:07,480 further. 693 00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:13,920 And then we established this very toxic and superior attitude towards literally everyone 694 00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:18,000 in that building, but especially in that room. 695 00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:26,200 And then when we got into that room, we were just, I walked in and mind you, this morning 696 00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:27,720 I was thinking about that. 697 00:51:27,720 --> 00:51:30,080 And I was like, I had this inner tension. 698 00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:31,840 I had this inner tension. 699 00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:38,080 And I was like, I was talking like, or not, and last night I was talking about, we were 700 00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:41,400 saying like, that's 10 X or that's 2 X. 701 00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:44,320 We were basically having this toxic attitude. 702 00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:47,240 And I started to sense this inner tension. 703 00:51:47,240 --> 00:51:52,960 Going back to what I was said before how I started to actually pay attention to my inner 704 00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:56,400 tension now, like my heart pay attention to my heart. 705 00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:59,800 So I sense this inner tension, but I didn't really realize what it was. 706 00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:04,240 And then today walking into business incubator, my friend was already sitting there and he 707 00:52:04,240 --> 00:52:09,240 gave me this smirk that it was like this smile. 708 00:52:09,240 --> 00:52:16,400 And it was like the smile that you develop when you have this attitude of your superior 709 00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:18,280 than everyone else in the room. 710 00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:20,400 And you have this high ego. 711 00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:25,120 And I'm not trying to paint him in dark colors because I was doing the same exact thing. 712 00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:27,280 I reciprocated it. 713 00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:33,120 I smiled back at him and I was like, ugh, all these one comma club. 714 00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:34,600 It was a very toxic attitude. 715 00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:42,800 And at that moment, after I smiled back and reciprocated, I instantly became conscious. 716 00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:44,520 I was already conscious of the inner tension. 717 00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:46,160 I just didn't know what it was. 718 00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:51,680 I instantly became conscious of the fact that this was an extremely toxic attitude. 719 00:52:51,680 --> 00:53:00,720 And then my teacher was talking, like he was giving a lecture on the content for that day. 720 00:53:00,720 --> 00:53:05,200 And so I didn't really have time to talk to my friend about it until the end, but the 721 00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:08,160 whole time he kept on smirking at me and smirking at me. 722 00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:11,800 Like every time something my teacher would say something, he kept looking over at me 723 00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:12,800 and smiling. 724 00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:14,800 And I got really disgusted. 725 00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:18,120 I got really disgusted, I'm going to be honest. 726 00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:26,680 And so I said to him, I'm not playing this game anymore. 727 00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:28,400 And then he was like, yeah, I know I'm not. 728 00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:32,600 Because he thought I was talking about I'm not playing the one comma club game. 729 00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:38,280 He thought I was still part of the game that we developed of being high ego and superior 730 00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:40,120 than other people. 731 00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:43,120 And so, but I wasn't talking about that. 732 00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:48,000 I was talking about I'm not playing this game of being superior to other people. 733 00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:50,560 Thinking that we're superior to the other people. 734 00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:55,960 And so once my teacher finally stopped his talk, I said to my friend again, because he 735 00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:57,920 like looked at me and smiled. 736 00:53:57,920 --> 00:53:58,920 He did that. 737 00:53:58,920 --> 00:53:59,920 Smile again. 738 00:53:59,920 --> 00:54:01,760 And I was like, no, dude, I'm not, I'm not playing this game. 739 00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:03,400 And he's like, yeah, I know I'm not playing either. 740 00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:08,600 And I was like, no, I'm not playing this game of, and then I gave like, I would literally 741 00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:10,720 like, had this burst. 742 00:54:10,720 --> 00:54:14,400 And I was like, I'm not playing this game of thinking that we're superior than other 743 00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:19,960 people like having such a high ego that we're dismissing everything everyone else is saying 744 00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:26,200 and we're like creating so much dependent relationships and access potential around 745 00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:31,520 a simple fact that we got a little bit new piece of information and we haven't even implemented 746 00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:32,520 it yet. 747 00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:37,480 Um, this is not exact word for word of what I said, but that's pretty much the gist. 748 00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:44,000 And then he like went silent naturally because I definitely hurt his ego at the time. 749 00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:47,920 And if I was to be in his position, I, my ego would have been hurt. 750 00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:50,000 And so I would have gone silent as well. 751 00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:53,440 He went silent and then he didn't really, we didn't really talk that much for the rest 752 00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:55,360 of the period. 753 00:54:55,360 --> 00:55:00,840 And then walking to our next period, he was, he said, thank you so much for telling me 754 00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:01,840 that. 755 00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:04,680 Like I didn't realize I was creating all these dependent relationships. 756 00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:06,440 And that is huge. 757 00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:10,560 The fact that he was able to just turn it around, like we were both able to just turn 758 00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:12,560 it around just like that. 759 00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:13,560 That's huge. 760 00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:20,160 And I think that's a huge asset or a huge attribute he had to have because he actually 761 00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:26,800 wrote in the 10 X is easier than two X that one of the psychological flexibility is extremely 762 00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:27,800 important. 763 00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:34,280 And one of the most valuable, like one of the most valuable skills to have is the ability 764 00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:45,560 to accept and incorporate a brand new identity and like implement a brand new identity because 765 00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:52,200 that's all that 10 X you established this brand new identity of this 10 X goal. 766 00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:59,000 So right now my new identity that I'm beginning to establish is surfing as a two comic club 767 00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:02,000 X winner. 768 00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:03,120 That's my new identity. 769 00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:18,880 I'm trying to, excuse me, I have to pick up so let me get some water. 770 00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:19,880 Okay. 771 00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:23,360 So that's the brand new identity I'm trying to establish. 772 00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:31,560 And that's like what he said in the book, the ability to get new identities and incorporate 773 00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:39,360 brand new identities easily and efficiently is the best skill to have. 774 00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:47,560 And like after I'm really grateful for today because we realized that so going back to 775 00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:51,040 the story of how he said in the hallway, thank you for telling me that. 776 00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:59,520 And I said yes, because I'm glad because I said, yeah, I was I'm glad that we're conscious 777 00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:00,520 of this now. 778 00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:04,720 I don't remember exactly what I said, but the important thing is that I said, yeah, 779 00:57:04,720 --> 00:57:08,560 because we do this a lot. 780 00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:12,760 Every time we get a new piece of information or new knowledge or learn a new book that 781 00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:20,240 no one else knows about, our egos rise so much like asymmetrically like invariably 782 00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:23,640 higher than the new knowledge we learned. 783 00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:29,280 And that's extremely damaging because our egos rise so much and then we just create 784 00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:35,040 independent relationships and we see ourselves as superior to other people. 785 00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:44,280 So that's an extremely damaging or extremely dangerous mindset that we had that we developed 786 00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:49,160 that we just destroyed we nipped in the bud just with that second. 787 00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:52,760 And I'm very glad because we're getting better at this skill. 788 00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:57,760 So when we developed this mindset from Transurfing, it probably I'm not even gonna lie, I'm pretty 789 00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:01,600 sure it took months to destroy this mindset. 790 00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:07,920 But we heard that speech probably like maybe four days ago. 791 00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:13,040 And then we didn't start like creating this toxic mindset like literally yesterday because 792 00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:15,840 yesterday is when we started reading the book. 793 00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:18,800 And we didn't start creating the toxic mindset until yesterday. 794 00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:21,120 And so yesterday is when we started doing it. 795 00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:23,320 And then today is when we nipped it in the bud. 796 00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:29,000 So that's like right there we turned it around and destroyed that mindset. 797 00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:32,360 So that's an extremely important thing to know. 798 00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:37,400 Like when you're learning all this new information when you're learning new books, you have to 799 00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:43,720 act with humility, remain silent and remain neutral in your attitude. 800 00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:49,680 Because if you you have to keep your ego in check, keep your ego in check. 801 00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:55,520 And I constantly remind myself that because I am not superior to anyone else. 802 00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:57,320 Everyone is equal on an energetic level. 803 00:58:57,320 --> 00:59:04,360 And if you create a inferiority or superiority complex and you declare yourself inferior or 804 00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:09,080 superior to other people, you reduce your own influence on the world. 805 00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:11,480 And you don't want that if you're trying to achieve greatness. 806 00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:14,800 If you're trying to get a lot of goals, you want to have as much influence as possible 807 00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:16,520 on the world. 808 00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:20,960 So that's one lesson we learned about today. 809 00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:22,600 So let's recap. 810 00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:26,080 First thing, I'm at a crossroads. 811 00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:28,080 What's the lesson? 812 00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:30,440 Learn the 10x rule. 813 00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:32,840 Destroy all this stuff. 814 00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:37,520 And then the second thing is this attitude. 815 00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:41,520 Well, I'm pretty sure I missed one, but I don't know. 816 00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:45,040 I want to talk about I just bought a face cam on Amazon. 817 00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:46,960 It should come tomorrow. 818 00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:53,520 So either episode 76 or 77 will have a face cam on YouTube. 819 00:59:53,520 --> 01:00:00,440 And that's going to be huge because right now I have literally zero subscribers on YouTube 820 01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:04,180 and like 70 episodes uploaded. 821 01:00:04,180 --> 01:00:10,760 So I have like 70 episodes uploaded and zero subscribers and probably like 20 views all 822 01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:12,360 across the board. 823 01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:17,040 So I've got like no reach on YouTube, absolutely nothing. 824 01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:21,800 And it's because all of my videos, all my podcasts, they're all podcasts like one hour 825 01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:25,240 long and they have no camera. 826 01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:26,440 Like there's no camera. 827 01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:33,040 And I feel like people on YouTube watch podcasts with a camera, with a face cam. 828 01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:36,080 So expect to see that in the future. 829 01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:42,800 If you are listening on like a podcasting platform and would like to go watch the face 830 01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:45,720 cam, check out the YouTube. 831 01:00:45,720 -->

your favorite episodes and 834 01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:00,760 subscribe to the Ascend Momentum show. 835 01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:07,440 But before you guys leave, make sure to look up at the sky.
