Shed your identity. So I want to explain what that means but first, hello everyone.
If you're watching on YouTube, you can see my face cam. I bought a face cam
yesterday and it came this morning. Now I'm brand new to having a camera so I was
gonna have the like my camera image in front of me at all times but I didn't
want to have to look at myself the whole time because I didn't want any like
thoughts to pop up in my mind like oh is my hair good or oh like whatever you
know and if you are watching on YouTube then you'll be able to see that my
background is terrible like you I'm in the basement so I basically record all
my episodes in the basement but that said I want to talk about shedding your
identity. So shedding your identity is the most valuable skill to have and what I
mean by that is when you have your identity you have an identity and it's
basically based off of the story you tell yourself. So it's how you perceive
yourself, the story you tell yourself, your consistencies like all of these
things is form forms your identity and I'm reading a book as you guys know called
the 10x is easier than 2x and I'm learning a lot from it especially one
thing that really struck to me is shedding your identity the the ability to
shed your identity quickly and easily and adopt a brand new identity that's
like 10 times better than your current one or an identity that's associated
with a goal that's impossible like it's seemingly impossible for you to
achieve the ability to shed your current identity and then take on that new
identity is one of the most valuable things to have as a person and he he
talks all about it he says that it is not easy it's actually really difficult
it's not difficult like manually difficult but mentally difficult because
when you have your current identity you're comfortable with it you're
comfortable with your surroundings your habits your actions your day-to-day life
you're comfortable with all of your current life and in order to take on this
brand new identity you have to completely get rid of all of your current
like comfort zone you basically have to leave your comfort zone which is one of
the scariest things to do as a human being no like leaving your comfort zone
is one of the hardest and scariest things to do mentally even though
physically there is no challenge it's just mental so that's the whole thing
when you if you have the capacity if you are able to shed your current identity
and then take on a brand new identity then you step outside your comfort zone
and then you're actually getting rid of 80% of your current habits actions
thoughts surroundings like people near you you're getting rid of 80% of that
stuff and you're going all in on the 20% new and this is actually exactly what
needs to be done in order to make 10x growth so I also want to talk about
atomic habits so I haven't read it I have not read atomic habits but pretty
much James Clear was a 10x he had the 10x mindset so he would basically drop
out all of his current things that he was doing or at least not drop it but at
least stop doing it himself personally he would outsource it and so when he was
writing his blog in like 2014 he would focus on he would always focus on the
blog now I don't remember the exact like dates and stuff of this story so I'm
just giving you averages around estimates so in 2014 he was working on his
blog and he was writing like 1500 words around and they were like very good
very every single time he would write like a better and better and he would do
this two times a week and then he decided that he wanted to make he wanted to
write a book and so what he did was he ended up going on or no he ended up
outsourcing like his day-to-day I'm not sure if he outsourced actually writing
those 1500 word things every like twice a week I'm not sure if he outsourced that
but he definitely outsourced like the majority of his business and got his
business up and running to where it's able to be fully functional without him
and so I assume that means he was able to send out those like news not
newsletters but those blog posts without him so pretty much he was able to
completely automate his business and that freed up all of his time to focus a
hundred percent on writing his new book now it took I'm pretty sure it took him
three years because he was used to writing high-quality blog posts that
were around 1500 paid 1500 words more or less but the book that he was striving
to write was a high-quality book that is around 50,000 words at least 50,000
words was his his what he was achieved he was striving for and so he ended up
going all in on this book and then after three years he was able to publish it and
then once he published it he went all in on marketing and this achieved this
allowed him to achieve greatness because he sold like 20 million copies of the
book and he was on the New York Times bestseller list for every single week of
the year and he pretty much sold like hey now he has the number one self-help
book ever like one of number one most sold self-help book ever so the moral
story is he was comfortable with writing blog posts and then he had this urge to
write a book so he got rid of all of his current stuff he automated everything so
he completely stopped focusing on the blog and then he focused a hundred percent
on the book and then once he was done with the book he focused a hundred percent
on selling the book so pretty much he had to get rid of all of his old habits
and then adopt the new habits so his identity was blogger and then he adopted
a new identity which was writer and then he adopted a new identity which was
New York Times bestseller like he's a marketer selling he's like a bookseller
so that's like I'm that I tell you the story because it kind of relates to
where I'm at right now so over the past couple months ever since especially
since school started I have been wanting to lower the time that I spent in the
gym because I'm focused I'm not focused on the gym that much anymore now for
context I've been going to the gym for a little over two years like two years in
a month and I for pretty much the majority of those two years I was going
like every day like seven days a week like I was hardcore so I got a lot of
progress and then I just recently like maybe four months ago when I started
looking into business actually it wasn't even four months ago it's probably
like three or two or three months ago when I started actually getting serious
about my business and actually lacking in dialing on dialing in on this new 20%
tasks 20% habits that I'm focusing on so I once school started I moved down from
seven days a week down to three four to five days a week and I also decreased
the time that I was spending there all like down to like 30 minutes maybe and
then just recently today is Tuesday and on Monday I actually went I switched my
routine again so I now I go straight to the gym straight after school so this
saves like probably at least that 20 minute worth of commuting to my house
and then back to the gym and then back to my house I can just go straight to the
gym and then back to my house so I saved like a decent amount of time doing that
and now I'm trying to think because I've got this I've got my podcast and then
I've also got tiktoks that I started doing tiktoks and YouTube shorts and
especially now that I'm getting serious about the podcast because now that I have
the face cam I'm like let me let me actually tell you this when I first
started podcasting I started before I even started posting my episodes I was
recording on the Voice Memos app I did 14 episodes and then when I first when
I first recorded my first episode that I was actually gonna publish which was the
the Ascend Momentum trailer I recorded that on a voice recorder a little tiny
little voice quarter about this big and it's like the size of my thumb a little
bit bigger than the size of my thumb and the reason why I tell you this is because
I was recording on that thing which was by the way it was worse quality than the
Voice Memos app I don't know why I switched off of the Voice Memos app it
was dumb but I've recorded like 27 episodes on that crappy little voice
recorder and if you go back you could hear how bad quality it was and then on
episode 28 or actually probably around like a little before episode 28 so probably
around like 24 25 around there I was looking on Amazon for a microphone
to buy because I was starting to get serious and I wanted to get a new
microphone because I wanted my audio quality to actually be decent so I
looked up like best podcasting mic to buy for beginners or like budget or
something like that and there was like a hundred dollar microphone and I bought
it and then I told my dad and then he said cancel it and then I canceled it and
he gave me this microphone which is what I'm using right now and it's very nice
it's an extremely nice microphone and I don't know how much cost but he said it
would cost it's like higher quality than the one I was gonna buy so then I've been
using this for the past like 50 episodes and a little bit less than 50
episodes but one of the what I'm trying to say is that I was a little iffy about
even buying a microphone in the first place much less a face cam because when
I was thinking about a microphone I was like oh maybe I should get a face cam
also but then I didn't want to because I wasn't as serious anymore so then once
that flat fast forward literally a couple days ago probably like less than a
week ago I was at Funal Hacking Live and I saw it I was listening to the
speakers and there was one speaker that was I don't remember what they were
talking about but there was one speaker that said like get rid of your intro in
your in your videos and you have the first three seconds to hook their
attention so that's why I got rid of my long boring slow intro and then I always
start my videos with a hook like today's video was shed your identity and I'm
getting better and better at hooks I'm not even sure if that was a good hook
we'll see if you guys listen to it but I currently only have seven subscribers
so but seven subscribers I'm really happy about that because I think seven
people are actually watching every single episode so that's cool then that's a
side tangent but the point that I'm trying to say is before I didn't want to
even buy a microphone and then I bought a microphone and I didn't even want to
buy a face cam and then I heard the speaker talk about it and then this
idea popped in my head to buy a face cam because I'm starting to get serious
like I have to oh I think it was the speaker that was talking about YouTube
like recording on YouTube videos and I realized that I was posting on YouTube
but it was I was doing everything badly because I was just posting the if you go
on my YouTube channel you'll see I was posting the videos it was like a
automatic audio to video converter and so it basically turned my like the audio
into it took my profile picture and then it placed like sound waves on it and so
basically you're just watching it was like a podcast kind of directly menu so
it was on YouTube but it was basically just for audio there was no like video
it was just a picture a flat static picture the whole time and so I posted
like 70 episodes like that zero subscribers and less than like 30 views
all on YouTube and another thing that I was doing wrong is on my on my normal
podcast directory I post a I have all of my videos or all my episodes post at 12
a.m. the exact time at 12 a.m. every single day because I schedule them but
there's a you have to click a button mainly on rss.com the software I used
to kind of spread my podcast across the internet you have to click a button to
manually upload it to YouTube and so that's why on YouTube my posting my
publishing is inconsistent on like some days it's like 6 p.m. that I post it
some days it's 3 p.m. some days it's like 6 a.m. it's all different so there's no
real consistency so that's another reason why I'm doing YouTube wrong so
that's why I made the decision to buy a face cam at funnel hacking live but I
didn't want to buy it until I got home so then I got home and I didn't buy it
yesterday I'd simply just forgot actually no I did buy it yesterday what am I
talking about I bought it yesterday but I didn't buy it on Sunday because I
forgot or no Sunday I got home late so I didn't even have time but yesterday I
bought it after the podcast I bought the face cam and I bought five more books
and I'll get into the books in a second so I bought the face cam just like that
just like click a button no mental stopping me no nothing so I bought the
face cam now I'm serious about YouTube so now my plan is to post my video post
my like post the video to YouTube schedule it to YouTube actually and then
Trent do on podcast so there's a feature to to convert video to audio so then
I'll convert video to audio and then edit that audio and then like edit how I
normally do so that's huge because while I'm doing all of that I'm gonna
record my three tiktoks as well because I started doing tiktoks the other day
and if you guys see the video lessons there's I always have around three video
lessons so then that's three videos that I can record on tiktok and this is just
to build a following on tiktok and then hopefully have people click my link in
tiktok and then that will send them to my link tree and then hopefully they'll
click on the podcast and then they'll listen to the podcast so my tiktok is
purely to get more more reach essentially because I don't think that I
think I lost my our organic traffic for podcasting I think that they gave me
some organic traffic right off the bat just to get the ball rolling and then I
don't know if I get more organic track traffic for a little while because I
haven't been getting much growth like my first month I started in like August like
late August so my first month I had like four subscribers and which is actually
a lot because I only had like a couple episodes post on in August so I had four
subscribers and my analytics actually is like a graph so it's it's like it went
up but then it kind of like plateaued a little bit so that's why I think that my
organic organic traffic which is basically traffic that the algorithm is
sending my way just because I'm doing what it wants I'm posting consistently so
I think that I ran out of that so I have to use other means and I have a few
plans so one plan is the tiktoks get people pull people from tiktok onto my
channel and then have them watch and hopefully become subscribers and then I
have another and when I say subscriber I'm I'm not monetized I'm just saying
like they follow my channel they and there's a stat on rss.com that they
give you it's called rolling average subscriber that's what I'm referring to
it's just like the average subscriber because you can't really tell how many
subs there's no real stat to tell you how much subscribers you have so it gives
you the average based off of how many people watch every single episode you
post within 24 hours of it post you and right now I have seven which I'm very
happy about because there's seven people listening to me every single day so
that's cool but what I'm trying to say is I have a few plans so right now is the
tiktok to get more organic traffic traffic for free simply just for me
providing content and then I have another plan which I may or may not start I
don't know how to even go about it but I may start posting ads or buying ads
right now I have like a hundred bucks in my bank account so I don't know if
that's a good idea I think I might just focus on organic traffic because I want
to save my money for memberships that I am paying for that are gonna charge me
like if I don't have enough money to pay for my RSS comm subscription then I
won't be able to my channel will probably disappear so that is essential
same with my podcast so I need to pay for that like there's some things that I
have to pay for so I'm I might not do paid ads but I was thinking about doing
it and then the other thing the other thing on my plan is I actually wrote
this yesterday in my notebook go on to other people's shows like be a guest on
other people's shows and this I want to go back to the identity thing it's
extremely hard because it's outside of your comfort zone but you have to take
on this new identity so right now my current identity is solo podcaster and
I've gotten very comfortable with it like if you go back to my first episode it
was out of my comfort zone like I was not wanting to do it I didn't want to do
it and it was uncomfortable for me so it's out of my comfort zone so it was
part of my 20% new things and it's good that I focused on a percent on it but
now I'm 76 episodes in and naturally I've become comfortable at it it's in it's
been pulled into my comfort zone so the next thing that I'm gonna focus on is
go on other people's podcasts be a guest on other people's podcast and if I can
find people's podcasts that are in the same niche or market as me I can hopefully
grab more organic audience grab more viewers from that if I do a good job on
that those episodes then I can they'll say like oh how can people find you and
then at the end I'll just be like I have a podcast ascend momentum and then
that's it that's literally all I'll do because that's the only thing I'm trying
to grow right now that's all I care about my podcast I want to grow my
podcast because I've got a few plans after the podcast so let's stay on the
topic of being a guest on other people's shows I don't even know how to go about
starting it but I'm not gonna worry about it till 24 days from now so let me
explain I wrote in my book in my journal I will be I will begin to be a guest I
will begin looking into being a guest speaker once I reach episode 100 there's
a few reasons one Seth Godin said he'll be a guest on anyone's podcast anyone's
show once they reach episode 100 because that shows they're in it for the
long run they're they're serious about it so I want to I want to portray myself
as being serious because I am serious about it and I want to prove it I want
people to see that I'm credible and I have actually been I'm in it for the
long run so that's one reason another reason is I want so right now I'm very
comfortable with or I'm not very comfortable but I'm way better at a
podcast at being a podcaster and I go so far to say that I'm almost an expert I
don't know what expert status looks like or sounds like on a podcast but I wrote
down in my journal I will once I reach episode 100 I will be an expert
podcaster and I will begin to go be a guest on other people's shows that's
what I said so once I reach episode 100 I will begin to like promote myself to
other podcasts hosts and hopefully they'll invite me on to their show so
that's kind of a plan to get more organic traffic right now I'm just currently
my only organic source is the podcast and I've been doing it for 76 episodes and
it's I have seven subscribers so I'm not really gaining that much organic
traffic it's not too fast and then another method that I've begun the other
day which I haven't actually begun in real time because I scheduled the posts
for the fourth so tomorrow it will begin tomorrow is the first day that I'll be
posting my tiktoks so that's a second organic method and the reason why I'm
focusing on organic is because I simply don't have the funds to buy ads like I
don't have the funds to pay for traffic I don't have money I'm broke and so I
don't want to say that actually because that's a bad identity thing to say out
loud I'm actually abundant but that that's whatever so I don't have much
money right now at the moment so that's why I'm focusing on organic so I have to
figure out ways that I can do it for free and then the third and probably most
powerful way of getting traffic is to be a guest speaker on someone else's
podcast and this is for multiple reasons one they already have a follower base
built up so I'll already be tapping into a built up pond of viewers versus the
tiktok I'd have to build up my follower base the podcast I have to build up my
follower base to they're on the same platform there's a thing where people
don't want to leave their current platform like people ten youtubers
YouTube viewers tend to stay on YouTube like they don't want to go to
youtubers podcast per se or they don't want to go to their tiktok or their
Instagram like they tend to consumers tend to want to stay on their current
platform on the platform they're comfortable at and so that's why it'll
be tough to grab tiktok viewers over to my podcast it's possible but it's not
going to be the most efficient method and then so that's why it'll be the best
source for those two reasons is being a guest speaker and plus it'll greatly
expand my comfort zone because I am an introvert and I'm not very when I speak
I can get into the flow like I have gotten into the flow speaking with my
friends but I've never gotten into the flow speaking with a stranger and so it
will be interesting I don't know how it would even set up because I may have to
travel I don't I would prefer to travel but I don't have the funds I'd prefer I
don't know I I don't know if they would pay for it if I would have to pay for it
I don't know but that's like I really want I think that this is my next step and
that's like that's pretty much my current trajectory that I'm looking at for
that now let's talk about further along the road once I get more viewers so
right now I have seven subscribers we've established this I wrote down in my book
so let me give some context I went to funnel hacking live and the theme of
this year was the linchpin which is basically a reoccurring revenue model
so it's basically you build a membership site and you get people to pay you monthly
for it that's essentially what it is so right now I don't have a business I'm
just focusing on building my audience and I'm very glad that I'm building I'm
just focused on this because this was the first thing that I could do that like
right here right now that I could just get reps at or get reps and get better
and get better podcasting and that's what I'm doing right now and so what I want
to do I like the whole reason why I'm doing this is to set up a business and
so the business I'm gonna set up is a linchpin model it's gonna follow the
linchpin model and I don't even know what I want to do but all I know is that my
plan I wrote this down in my journal once I get 100 subscribers so 100 people
are watching me every single day or listening to me every single day once
I get that number then I will start to build a membership site and the way I'm
gonna do it is I'm gonna like send out a survey to my viewers that's basically
gonna be like an open-ended response so I'm gonna send out a survey to you guys
and then I'm going to be
reading all those responses and then building a membership site around it
because this is huge this will tell me exactly what you guys want and as a
result it'll tell me all of your problems that you're need solved and then
I'll be way better equipped with more intel Intel to better solve those
problems and then I'll be able to hit on all of the different things that you're
experiencing in the membership site so it'll have a higher quality experience
for you guys plus it'll be a better business model for me because the
customer will actually want it whereas if I was to just make a whole membership
site and it turns out no one even wants it well then that that would be bad for
both me and you guys so that's kind of where I'm at with that because once I
get a hundred subscribers I am going to start building the membership site and
then I'll promote it onto here because now I'll have audience congregated so
once I get a hundred subscribers I send some of those people over to buy my
membership site and then I can serve them at a higher level serve them at a
higher level and then who knows maybe I'll do coaching again that was actually
my plan to do prior like went back I don't know what episode it was it was
probably like episode 46 or around for in the 40s I think I was talking about
that and so that I was talking about doing coaching which I actually think
that would be a good idea because it would be good off in the beginning
because then I can get some quick cash or I don't know if that's the right word
but I would charge like $50 an hour and then I could get like cash right now to
build up funds build up capital so I can invest in more and more and better
resources like I invested in this face cam I invested in some software and all
of this stuff I actually invest in books so I can educate myself so I can be a
better podcast so like that's I count books as an investment into my business
even though I don't think they're actually like legally allowed to be tax
write-offs I don't know anything about taxes yet but that's something I'm
definitely gonna be getting into in the future but I spent a lot of money on
books because I want to educate myself as I've been saying in the past couple
episodes whatever book I'm reading at the moment heavily influences the course
of the episode and right now I'm reading 10x is easier than 2x that's why I
spent the whole like beginning portion of this episode on identity because
that's what I learned in the 10x is easier than 2x it's fresh on my mind
plus when I teach it I strengthen my understanding and then I can teach you
guys what I'm learning along the way like that's the whole that's the whole
documenting of the journey so I'm investing a lot of books so I'm spending
a lot of money on books I'm spending a lot of money on my education which is
which is just books now let's talk about the books I said that I ordered my
face cam and five books the earlier and I said I was gonna talk about the books
later and now's the time so I want to explain there is this one website that
I've been obsessing over for the past like maybe month I don't know how long
it's been but it's been a while back when I don't remember what episode it was
but it was a long time ago I made an episode I don't remember what it was
titled but it was before the episode titled how a declassified CIA document
changed my life it was before that episode so I found a website called and
you guys are probably very well versed in this story but I'm just gonna tell it
again because I haven't told in a while so I found a website called the most
beautiful world and on this website it was a reading list and the way I found
this website was I was researching Transurfing reality Transurfing which
is a book that I've been reading for the past six months seven months now I
think but I haven't read it in a few weeks I or I haven't read it in like a
week because I've read it twice and it's 750 pages long so I've read it twice
but I definitely plan on reading again it's the best book I've ever read alright
that's the summary so I found this website the most beautiful world and it
was a reading list called the ultimate reading list for human beings and I read
it it was like a blog post where it taught it wrote the article out just like
explaining stuff and then it gave the list the list of the books so I read the
article and it was talking about like this is the list like number one list
for human beings everyone should read this list and then it was talking about
all of the a lot of the stuff that I learned in Transurfing like you are a
god like you have you're a creator of your world like you get to choose all
all this stuff it was speaking in a language that I came fond of and I
really appreciate that language because it's what I strive to learn more about
and then he said that before you read any book the first book you should read
is reality Transurfing so right then and there I knew this book this list was
very important because he's basically saying reality Transurfing is the
foundation to this reading list which by the way this reading list is the
ultimate reading list for human beings so if reality Transurfing is the
foundation that means Transurfing is the foundation to human life so we've
established that now then I went on to read it and the first maybe 50 hundred
books I had never even heard of before yet he said that they were the most
influential or the best books he's ever he's ever read that is insane all the
majority of the books on that list I'd never read before I'd never even heard
of before so but then he was also talking about in the let's go back up to the
the blog post he was saying he said there's this reading method that is you
can it allows you to read a book a day depending on how much time you have but
you can read way more quick way quicker and more effectively and efficiently
using this reading method which is to get seven books at a time and then read
one until you lose focus and then switch to the next one and then read one
until you lose focus and then switch and then repeat and repeat and repeat and
interspersed with pushups every once in a while and then this reading method will
be way more effective for reading like way more books in a shorter amount of
time so I was extremely skeptical with that because I was not with that speed
now I wasn't skeptical of the speed I kind of am skeptical of the speed but
the reason why skeptical because I don't know how much information I'll retain
using that method because if you guys remember a while back when I first started
reading reality Transurfing for the second time I also wanted to read expert
secrets for the second time so I was reading expert secrets as well as
Transurfing so I was reading expert in the in the morning and then
Transurfing at night and then eventually I realized I wasn't retaining much
information on Transurfing so I read Transurfing in the morning and then
Expert at night and then I realized that I wasn't retaining much information on
Expert so then I just decided to go all in on Transurfing because I knew I
realized that it's not a good idea to read multiple books at the same time like
two books at the same time so you're not gonna retain as much and I had known of
this principle yet I wanted to read them both at the same time just to be able to
get them both at the same time I learned about this rule of thumb from a book
called the four-hour work week where in like the you know how when there's like
a one so they say a word or a sentence and then there's like a one on the top
right it's kind of like an exponent and then you know that that or it's like a
star or a cross you know to look at the bottom of the page to learn more about
what that is and then the author like writes like a side note at the bottom so
there was a side note that I read and it was basically
I'm blanking on his name the author of the four-hour work week he basically said
trust me I have been reading for or trust me when I say from someone who's
been reading strictly nonfiction books for like 15 years of his life he does
not recommend reading two nonfiction books at the same time so I knew that I
followed it and then I decided not to and then I realized it was bad idea so
that's kind of why I have I'm skeptical over this seven reading method because
instead of two books it's seven books and you're constantly switching back and
forth I'm not sure if I'll even retain the information much less remember where
it came from like which book it came from which I'm sure I'll be able to
cipher through which book it came from but that's kind of what I'm skeptical
about but I decided I was gonna give it a try but first I wanted to finish
transurfing and then go to funnel hacking live and then read the linchpin
while I'm there and then go home and then read these books but I was aware of the
fact that I may decide that I wanted to continue reading or I wanted to read a
different book because the funnel hacking live was a huge monumental shift in my
life so and I knew it was gonna be so it may call me to read a different book and
it did so I actually have two books on my list before I even start this these
seven books and right now the first one is the 10x is easier than 2x I'm about a
third of the way done excuse me I'm about a third of the way done with that
book and then the second book on my list is called create don't capture and I
haven't started that but it's a pretty small book let me get some water
all right so oh my gosh my voice excuse me this create don't capture I want to
read after that so these are the two books on my list right now not as much
of a change as I was expecting which I'm grateful for because I really want to
get into these books and in fact I'm so excited to get into these books that I
actually just ordered the first set of seven because if you remember you read
them in us in the exact order he gave you he listed them all out in the exact
order you should read them and then he also said read seven at a time so but
there are some that he said read after this certain one so but it's like rate
after it's like let's say this is not the actual order or the actual numbers but
for example the second book on the list he said read after the first book but
that wouldn't work because you're supposed to read them all in order using
seven at a time so you would get the first book and the second book at the
same time so that's why I moved the first one to the first set and then the
second one to the second set so I had to do a little organization but I ended up
with my list and I had a list of seven and I added in one book that is not on
the reading list that I really wanted to read and it's called Toofty and it's
by Vadim Zan who's the author of Reality Transurfing and that's the next
book that I wanted to read from him because I've only read Reality
Transurfing parts one through five I haven't read his other three books so
that's why I bought that and now my the first set of seven books is Die Wise
Dancing After The Music Stops
Come Of Age I think it's called Toofty
I don't even remember what they are I'll have to tell you guys in a
future episode because to be honest I completely forgot them all but those are
like the first three or four but I want to talk about Dancing After The Music
Stops that book I actually started to read the introduction a couple weeks
back and that actually changed I'm very grateful I did because that changed the
course of events of my life again in that book in the introduction I've told
you guys this a few times on the episode he wrote a he inserted in the intro of
his book he inserted a declassified CIA document about time travel which was
crazy for me to see and I read it and it was I didn't make it didn't make any
sense to me so the next day I ended up like looking at that whole document I
printed it out read it all in a weekend and it was all about this meditation
method using Hemisync which Hemisync is a it's basically playing a noise in your
right ear and a slightly different frequency noise in your left ear and
then it your whole brain synchronizes and then creates a third noise which is
the difference of the two so let's say your right ear is 100 Hertz your left
year is a hundred four Hertz your whole brain will play a four Hertz frequency so
it's kind of strange but I definitely think that it works because I've been
doing Hemisync for a few weeks now with three days three times a day two to three
times so in the beginning the first week I did two times a day and then I quickly
moved up to three times a day which they're like 30 30 to 45 minute meditation
tapes so that's like 30 minutes times three so like 90 minutes a day 90 to an hour and a half
or that's the same 90 to like two hours a day and then I do that three so I do a
three times a day one in the morning one before the podcast one at night and then
when I went to funnel hacking live I was trying to stay consistent but I was only
able to do one or two times for the first couple days and then there's a few
days there's like two days that I didn't do it at all because there was no time
and then I was getting and then I got back consistent I got back to consistency
and now I'm doing it back to three times a day I did it yesterday and today so I'm
pretty much been doing it very consistently for the past two or three
weeks I think and I'm definitely able to get in a much deeper meditation I'm
I'm definitely noticing a difference between now and before I even went to
funnel hacking live because I'm much more relaxed in this state I haven't
achieved mind-awake body asleep which is like sleep paralysis I have not achieved
that yet but I am a lot more relaxed but there is one issue since I went to
funnel hacking live my sleep was scattered because I stayed up to like
12 o'clock one night because it lasted like all the way to like 11 30 stay up
to like 12 one night and then 10 the other night like I was up late for a few
days in a row and then Sunday night I was up till like 8 30 maybe 8 o'clock and
then last night I was up till 7 usually I'm usually I go to bed at 6 30 and this
definitely affected me because I'm right tonight I'm gonna go to bed at 6 30 my
normal time no matter what because this is extremely it okay so when I go to bed
that late even if it's 30 minutes late my meditation is a lot less focused let
me explain one my mind is not as like disciplined or focused because I'm just
tired and two I fall asleep sometimes or I space out way more often so like the
up the the meditation that I had just before this like 10 like five minutes
before I recorded started recording this episode the meditation that I had I was
probably asleep I don't know if I was asleep or just clicked out for the
majority of it like I remember finishing my finishing my preparatory
process and then I remember him calling us back like he literally I finished my
preparatory process started getting the focus 10 and then I it was time to get
out and it like 30 minutes had passed even though it seemed like no time
passed and I think it's because I'm tired like my mind is tired so that's why
I have to focus on my sleep because it's affecting my meditation and then my
meditation is what I'm really focused on like my meditation is extremely
important for me because for my development process because I want to get
to focus 12 so that I can one ask questions to my inner self because today
I had a lot of I had a lot of kind of tension I was I like my mind felt
oppressed a lot of the day and at the gym I was like why why am I feeling
oppressed right now like why do I feel tense why does my heart feel tense and I
didn't have the answer so that's why I want to get to focus 12 so I can ask the
questions to my higher self and then get those higher frame of mind answers back
another reason is when you're at focus 12 your visualization is much more
effective you're able to manifest things much better and it's also they
found that non some non visualizers are actually able to visualize and I am a
non-visualizer and so I'm I'm able I want to be able to visualize so I can one
have more like one be able to actually feel it and see it and then two so it's
more effective and I'm talking about my visualizing my goal which I explained in
yesterday's episode my goal is to live in Hawaii and become a surfer and have
ten million dollars in annual recurring revenue every single year that's that's
what I want my business to be ten mil every year I want to make ten mil every
year and that's that's basically my goal but that's why I'm focusing a lot on
meditation and this gateway process is extremely important it's extremely good
it's extremely beneficial and quick side tangent I clicked back on to the tab
because I had a different I had a new tab open that I was just looking at this
whole time and because I on my normal tab it shows a big screen of me like just a
screen of what you guys are seeing on YouTube right now and so I didn't want
to like look at that because I didn't want to get distracted and so I clicked
on a new tab and just so I could focus but I wanted to go back to my recording
tab so I can see how much time it was and there's ten minutes left so that's
around 435 is when I'm done so I'm going back to my new tab but that's a side note
but let's talk let's review and this review is useful for you guys and me so
I can know what to write down so you guys can know what you learned shed your
identity like overcome that comfort zone and then another thing I was talking
about is just start like this I just told my dad cuz I was supposed to get a
curtain behind me and nail it to the ceiling so you guys wouldn't see the
background but I didn't want to spend the time doing that today and I told my
dad like my rule of thumb is just start and figure things out later that's and
so that's what I want you guys to know just start and figure things out later
like that's why I just got this I started this podcast figure that figured
it out along the way and I don't even know where I was going with that but
that's yeah but then I was also talking about meditation and reading and books
it like educate yourself it's extremely important and meditate honestly
meditation has been one of the highest level I would I don't know where to put
meditation and reading it doesn't even matter what what they are comparing each
other but I'm really looking forward to the future of my reading because I have
been dialing in on reading this 10x is easier than 2x because I really want to
get through the 10x is easier than 2x and cat create don't capture so I can get
into these books because I've been looking forward to these books for quite
some time and I'm not gonna rush these current two books too much because they
are extremely valuable and the last book on like my list won't even arrive like I
bought two FD on Amazon and it won't even arrive for like 10 days I think so I
have 10 days to finish 10x is easier than 2x as well as create don't capture and
that's basically where I'm at with that I I believe that I'll be able to finish
in 10 days pretty easily because create don't capture is a pretty thin book it's
probably like that big and it's like I think it's around 200 maybe less than
200 pages and then 10x is easier than 2x is an average size book and it's like
250 around pages but I'm already a hundred pages in so I'm a little I'm like
almost halfway done like a third I'm definitely a third of the way done but I
predict that the 10x book is gonna be a book that I go back to and reread and
kind of study just like I did to Transurfing because Transurfing is a
high tier book and I kind of see that 10x is easier than 2x is a high tier book
maybe not as high as Transurfing but definitely up there and I definitely
feel like it's extremely valuable because it's simply just there's a lot
more stories in it I feel like Transurfing doesn't have too many stories
it's kind of just like telling you a lot of things actually I don't know I don't
think there's much stories in Transurfing except for in the beginning
like the intro the preface or the foreword actually is just the story of
how he learned it like that was like the only story that is in the whole book
really but I'm really I'm really excited for the future my plans are organic
traffic focus on organic traffic and I am focusing on this taking in this new
identity of a podcaster because I was thinking this morning while I was
reading the 10x book I my okay so I have my 10x goal which is surf become a
surfer in Hawaii and have be in the 2 comma club X 2 comma club X which is
ten million dollars a year I don't know if it's actually a year but my goal is
ten million a year and that's my identity like that's that that's the new
10x goal that I'm trying to achieve but another thing that I was thinking about
was podcasting like right now because there was he was talking about Mr.
Beasts and his like up and coming and how Mr. Beast just from the beginning he
was he was determined to become the number one youtuber in the world like the
number one youtuber and spoiler alert he became the number one youtuber in the
world but he was like that he came his identity like just
you tubing you tubing is that the right word in
you tubing I don't even know but he was focused and he was also talking about
quality over quantity now right now I'm focusing on quantity I'm doing one hour
every single day episodes but they may or may not be high quality but I figured
that the more and more practice I get the more and more reps I get the higher
the quality will get because I'll get better and better and better but then I
was also thinking that I haven't really land anything out now I kind of just
figure things out along the way and as a result there's a lot of time spent of me
kind of just not really talking or kind of talking like stupid or not stupidly
but me talking not really let not very audibly if that makes sense and that's
simply just I'm trying to figure out of something to say next the next topic to
say but I feel like one surefire way to increase the quality is to just jot down
and I've talked about this before but I never really did it I did it in the
beginning but I quickly stopped maybe jot down a few extremely lengthy concepts
so maybe if I want to talk about mindset that would be one concept but I could
get into very big length and depth on it and then maybe there would be another
like maybe there would be two or three or four words jotted down so that I can
like go to them and talk at length for like 25 minutes 30 minutes each and then
that will allow me to have higher quality because I'll have something to say
all the time so that's another thing but I'm not I'm not too sure because I know
that I definitely know that I'm getting better like if you compare this episode
to episode 10 or episode 20 you will be able to tell the difference even like
okay so episode 30 was using the same microphone so it would not be fair to
compare this episode to episode 15 because I wasn't using this microphone
but this episode to episode 30 I haven't listened to episode 30 but I think that
I'm definitely a lot better because it's been like 40 like 45 days since is 45
more hours of practice so that's another thing and another way to increase my
quality of episodes is to just be more of an expert if you guys could tell what
in the beginning of my of my show I wasn't too good or confident or knowledgeable
at speaking about trans surfing but towards the end of when I actually
stopped or towards the end of when I finished reading at the second time I
was extremely knowledgeable and I was like way more of an expert at
trans surfing than I was before so that's another way to increase the quality
get way more knowledgeable at something and so that's why it's extremely high
valuable to study trans surfing but I want to study a lot of other stuff and
get more diverse knowledge base and so that's why I I have a feeling that if
this seven reading method will work effectively then I'm definitely gonna be
having a very high boost in my like quality of episodes because I'll be
learning a lot of different things I'll learn I'll be learning from seven
different books there's one books about there's one book about Egypt there's
another book about trans surfing there's another book about dying wise another
book about dancing after them like dancing after the music stop I don't
even know what it's about but I think it's like your spiritual guidebook to
life so like all of these books will give me a bunch of different things to
focus on or not focus on but a lot of different kind of what's the word it
will give me a lot of different things to talk about and things to learn because
I'll be picking up a lot of different things I'll be reading seven books at a
time so I'll read one book until I lose focus I'll pick up a few things there and
then switch a few things there a few things there a few things there and I'll
just keep going back and back and back so that's like that's like I'm really
excited to start doing that seven method on reading list I really hope I know I'm
skeptical but I really hope that it ends up good and it ends up working out but
the last thing I want to talk about is do not focus on the tactics I find
myself all the time kind of wasting a lot of time figuring out how to set
things up because yesterday I wasted a lot of time trying to set up a AI video
editing software so I can edit my tiktoks and that wasted literally like 40
minutes of my day so focus on the strategies like I said earlier just
start and figure it out along the way so to wrap things up don't forget to
