1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,780
Shed your identity. So I want to explain what that means but first, hello everyone.

2
00:00:08,780 --> 00:00:12,680
If you're watching on YouTube, you can see my face cam. I bought a face cam

3
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:21,200
yesterday and it came this morning. Now I'm brand new to having a camera so I was

4
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:28,620
gonna have the like my camera image in front of me at all times but I didn't

5
00:00:28,620 --> 00:00:34,200
want to have to look at myself the whole time because I didn't want any like

6
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:39,280
thoughts to pop up in my mind like oh is my hair good or oh like whatever you

7
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:45,600
know and if you are watching on YouTube then you'll be able to see that my

8
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:52,760
background is terrible like you I'm in the basement so I basically record all

9
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:58,160
my episodes in the basement but that said I want to talk about shedding your

10
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:09,480
identity. So shedding your identity is the most valuable skill to have and what I

11
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:17,880
mean by that is when you have your identity you have an identity and it's

12
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:24,480
basically based off of the story you tell yourself. So it's how you perceive

13
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:29,360
yourself, the story you tell yourself, your consistencies like all of these

14
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:38,200
things is form forms your identity and I'm reading a book as you guys know called

15
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:46,520
the 10x is easier than 2x and I'm learning a lot from it especially one

16
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:53,160
thing that really struck to me is shedding your identity the the ability to

17
00:01:53,160 --> 00:02:00,280
shed your identity quickly and easily and adopt a brand new identity that's

18
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:06,120
like 10 times better than your current one or an identity that's associated

19
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,780
with a goal that's impossible like it's seemingly impossible for you to

20
00:02:10,780 --> 00:02:15,560
achieve the ability to shed your current identity and then take on that new

21
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:23,360
identity is one of the most valuable things to have as a person and he he

22
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:29,520
talks all about it he says that it is not easy it's actually really difficult

23
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:35,560
it's not difficult like manually difficult but mentally difficult because

24
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:40,160
when you have your current identity you're comfortable with it you're

25
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:45,280
comfortable with your surroundings your habits your actions your day-to-day life

26
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:51,040
you're comfortable with all of your current life and in order to take on this

27
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:57,240
brand new identity you have to completely get rid of all of your current

28
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,600
like comfort zone you basically have to leave your comfort zone which is one of

29
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:07,240
the scariest things to do as a human being no like leaving your comfort zone

30
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:12,720
is one of the hardest and scariest things to do mentally even though

31
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:18,600
physically there is no challenge it's just mental so that's the whole thing

32
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:25,560
when you if you have the capacity if you are able to shed your current identity

33
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:32,240
and then take on a brand new identity then you step outside your comfort zone

34
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,960
and then you're actually getting rid of 80% of your current habits actions

35
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:42,120
thoughts surroundings like people near you you're getting rid of 80% of that

36
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:51,160
stuff and you're going all in on the 20% new and this is actually exactly what

37
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:57,960
needs to be done in order to make 10x growth so I also want to talk about

38
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:03,760
atomic habits so I haven't read it I have not read atomic habits but pretty

39
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:13,120
much James Clear was a 10x he had the 10x mindset so he would basically drop

40
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:18,600
out all of his current things that he was doing or at least not drop it but at

41
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:25,600
least stop doing it himself personally he would outsource it and so when he was

42
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:34,280
writing his blog in like 2014 he would focus on he would always focus on the

43
00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:39,960
blog now I don't remember the exact like dates and stuff of this story so I'm

44
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:46,200
just giving you averages around estimates so in 2014 he was working on his

45
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:51,840
blog and he was writing like 1500 words around and they were like very good

46
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:56,080
very every single time he would write like a better and better and he would do

47
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:04,120
this two times a week and then he decided that he wanted to make he wanted to

48
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:13,080
write a book and so what he did was he ended up going on or no he ended up

49
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:18,800
outsourcing like his day-to-day I'm not sure if he outsourced actually writing

50
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:23,960
those 1500 word things every like twice a week I'm not sure if he outsourced that

51
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,280
but he definitely outsourced like the majority of his business and got his

52
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:32,760
business up and running to where it's able to be fully functional without him

53
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:42,520
and so I assume that means he was able to send out those like news not

54
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:49,600
newsletters but those blog posts without him so pretty much he was able to

55
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:55,040
completely automate his business and that freed up all of his time to focus a

56
00:05:55,040 --> 00:06:02,440
hundred percent on writing his new book now it took I'm pretty sure it took him

57
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:10,120
three years because he was used to writing high-quality blog posts that

58
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:19,240
were around 1500 paid 1500 words more or less but the book that he was striving

59
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:28,560
to write was a high-quality book that is around 50,000 words at least 50,000

60
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:37,720
words was his his what he was achieved he was striving for and so he ended up

61
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,800
going all in on this book and then after three years he was able to publish it and

62
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:49,440
then once he published it he went all in on marketing and this achieved this

63
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:54,720
allowed him to achieve greatness because he sold like 20 million copies of the

64
00:06:54,720 --> 00:07:01,000
book and he was on the New York Times bestseller list for every single week of

65
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:09,320
the year and he pretty much sold like hey now he has the number one self-help

66
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:17,960
book ever like one of number one most sold self-help book ever so the moral

67
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:22,640
story is he was comfortable with writing blog posts and then he had this urge to

68
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:28,640
write a book so he got rid of all of his current stuff he automated everything so

69
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:34,560
he completely stopped focusing on the blog and then he focused a hundred percent

70
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:39,160
on the book and then once he was done with the book he focused a hundred percent

71
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:44,400
on selling the book so pretty much he had to get rid of all of his old habits

72
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:51,080
and then adopt the new habits so his identity was blogger and then he adopted

73
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:56,000
a new identity which was writer and then he adopted a new identity which was

74
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:01,480
New York Times bestseller like he's a marketer selling he's like a bookseller

75
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:08,400
so that's like I'm that I tell you the story because it kind of relates to

76
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:14,120
where I'm at right now so over the past couple months ever since especially

77
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:21,800
since school started I have been wanting to lower the time that I spent in the

78
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:26,640
gym because I'm focused I'm not focused on the gym that much anymore now for

79
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:31,440
context I've been going to the gym for a little over two years like two years in

80
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:39,080
a month and I for pretty much the majority of those two years I was going

81
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:44,160
like every day like seven days a week like I was hardcore so I got a lot of

82
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:52,480
progress and then I just recently like maybe four months ago when I started

83
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,280
looking into business actually it wasn't even four months ago it's probably

84
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:00,360
like three or two or three months ago when I started actually getting serious

85
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:05,520
about my business and actually lacking in dialing on dialing in on this new 20%

86
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:14,640
tasks 20% habits that I'm focusing on so I once school started I moved down from

87
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:20,360
seven days a week down to three four to five days a week and I also decreased

88
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:25,880
the time that I was spending there all like down to like 30 minutes maybe and

89
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:35,000
then just recently today is Tuesday and on Monday I actually went I switched my

90
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,960
routine again so I now I go straight to the gym straight after school so this

91
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:45,360
saves like probably at least that 20 minute worth of commuting to my house

92
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,600
and then back to the gym and then back to my house I can just go straight to the

93
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:53,000
gym and then back to my house so I saved like a decent amount of time doing that

94
00:09:53,000 --> 00:10:00,000
and now I'm trying to think because I've got this I've got my podcast and then

95
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:05,160
I've also got tiktoks that I started doing tiktoks and YouTube shorts and

96
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,560
especially now that I'm getting serious about the podcast because now that I have

97
00:10:09,560 --> 00:10:15,320
the face cam I'm like let me let me actually tell you this when I first

98
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:21,840
started podcasting I started before I even started posting my episodes I was

99
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:29,840
recording on the Voice Memos app I did 14 episodes and then when I first when

100
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:34,440
I first recorded my first episode that I was actually gonna publish which was the

101
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:41,320
the Ascend Momentum trailer I recorded that on a voice recorder a little tiny

102
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:46,160
little voice quarter about this big and it's like the size of my thumb a little

103
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:52,880
bit bigger than the size of my thumb and the reason why I tell you this is because

104
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:57,200
I was recording on that thing which was by the way it was worse quality than the

105
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,920
Voice Memos app I don't know why I switched off of the Voice Memos app it

106
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,880
was dumb but I've recorded like 27 episodes on that crappy little voice

107
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:12,560
recorder and if you go back you could hear how bad quality it was and then on

108
00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:19,160
episode 28 or actually probably around like a little before episode 28 so probably

109
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:25,040
around like 24 25 around there I was looking on Amazon for a microphone

110
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,240
to buy because I was starting to get serious and I wanted to get a new

111
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:32,600
microphone because I wanted my audio quality to actually be decent so I

112
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:39,120
looked up like best podcasting mic to buy for beginners or like budget or

113
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,280
something like that and there was like a hundred dollar microphone and I bought

114
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:48,440
it and then I told my dad and then he said cancel it and then I canceled it and

115
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,480
he gave me this microphone which is what I'm using right now and it's very nice

116
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:58,320
it's an extremely nice microphone and I don't know how much cost but he said it

117
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:06,120
would cost it's like higher quality than the one I was gonna buy so then I've been

118
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:13,160
using this for the past like 50 episodes and a little bit less than 50

119
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:19,200
episodes but one of the what I'm trying to say is that I was a little iffy about

120
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:26,360
even buying a microphone in the first place much less a face cam because when

121
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,480
I was thinking about a microphone I was like oh maybe I should get a face cam

122
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:34,640
also but then I didn't want to because I wasn't as serious anymore so then once

123
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:40,720
that flat fast forward literally a couple days ago probably like less than a

124
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:47,000
week ago I was at Funal Hacking Live and I saw it I was listening to the

125
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,680
speakers and there was one speaker that was I don't remember what they were

126
00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:56,640
talking about but there was one speaker that said like get rid of your intro in

127
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:02,280
your in your videos and you have the first three seconds to hook their

128
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:08,720
attention so that's why I got rid of my long boring slow intro and then I always

129
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:16,240
start my videos with a hook like today's video was shed your identity and I'm

130
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,240
getting better and better at hooks I'm not even sure if that was a good hook

131
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,920
we'll see if you guys listen to it but I currently only have seven subscribers

132
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:28,560
so but seven subscribers I'm really happy about that because I think seven

133
00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:34,480
people are actually watching every single episode so that's cool then that's a

134
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:39,280
side tangent but the point that I'm trying to say is before I didn't want to

135
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:43,160
even buy a microphone and then I bought a microphone and I didn't even want to

136
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:48,240
buy a face cam and then I heard the speaker talk about it and then this

137
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,520
idea popped in my head to buy a face cam because I'm starting to get serious

138
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,920
like I have to oh I think it was the speaker that was talking about YouTube

139
00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:01,240
like recording on YouTube videos and I realized that I was posting on YouTube

140
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:07,720
but it was I was doing everything badly because I was just posting the if you go

141
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:13,440
on my YouTube channel you'll see I was posting the videos it was like a

142
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:22,680
automatic audio to video converter and so it basically turned my like the audio

143
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:29,840
into it took my profile picture and then it placed like sound waves on it and so

144
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:35,280
basically you're just watching it was like a podcast kind of directly menu so

145
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:39,080
it was on YouTube but it was basically just for audio there was no like video

146
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:44,680
it was just a picture a flat static picture the whole time and so I posted

147
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:50,280
like 70 episodes like that zero subscribers and less than like 30 views

148
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:56,240
all on YouTube and another thing that I was doing wrong is on my on my normal

149
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:08,440
podcast directory I post a I have all of my videos or all my episodes post at 12

150
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:15,000
a.m. the exact time at 12 a.m. every single day because I schedule them but

151
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,640
there's a you have to click a button mainly on rss.com the software I used

152
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:26,400
to kind of spread my podcast across the internet you have to click a button to

153
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:32,440
manually upload it to YouTube and so that's why on YouTube my posting my

154
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:38,320
publishing is inconsistent on like some days it's like 6 p.m. that I post it

155
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:43,440
some days it's 3 p.m. some days it's like 6 a.m. it's all different so there's no

156
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,920
real consistency so that's another reason why I'm doing YouTube wrong so

157
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:52,800
that's why I made the decision to buy a face cam at funnel hacking live but I

158
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:57,720
didn't want to buy it until I got home so then I got home and I didn't buy it

159
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,960
yesterday I'd simply just forgot actually no I did buy it yesterday what am I

160
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:06,040
talking about I bought it yesterday but I didn't buy it on Sunday because I

161
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:11,360
forgot or no Sunday I got home late so I didn't even have time but yesterday I

162
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:18,240
bought it after the podcast I bought the face cam and I bought five more books

163
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:23,320
and I'll get into the books in a second so I bought the face cam just like that

164
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:30,320
just like click a button no mental stopping me no nothing so I bought the

165
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:36,960
face cam now I'm serious about YouTube so now my plan is to post my video post

166
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:42,360
my like post the video to YouTube schedule it to YouTube actually and then

167
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:50,840
Trent do on podcast so there's a feature to to convert video to audio so then

168
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,600
I'll convert video to audio and then edit that audio and then like edit how I

169
00:16:54,600 --> 00:17:00,200
normally do so that's huge because while I'm doing all of that I'm gonna

170
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,840
record my three tiktoks as well because I started doing tiktoks the other day

171
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:10,000
and if you guys see the video lessons there's I always have around three video

172
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:15,040
lessons so then that's three videos that I can record on tiktok and this is just

173
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:19,400
to build a following on tiktok and then hopefully have people click my link in

174
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:24,000
tiktok and then that will send them to my link tree and then hopefully they'll

175
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,240
click on the podcast and then they'll listen to the podcast so my tiktok is

176
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:33,880
purely to get more more reach essentially because I don't think that I

177
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:41,520
think I lost my our organic traffic for podcasting I think that they gave me

178
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:46,840
some organic traffic right off the bat just to get the ball rolling and then I

179
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:51,760
don't know if I get more organic track traffic for a little while because I

180
00:17:51,760 --> 00:18:00,360
haven't been getting much growth like my first month I started in like August like

181
00:18:00,360 --> 00:18:07,960
late August so my first month I had like four subscribers and which is actually

182
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:14,240
a lot because I only had like a couple episodes post on in August so I had four

183
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:19,960
subscribers and my analytics actually is like a graph so it's it's like it went

184
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:24,760
up but then it kind of like plateaued a little bit so that's why I think that my

185
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:29,680
organic organic traffic which is basically traffic that the algorithm is

186
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:35,320
sending my way just because I'm doing what it wants I'm posting consistently so

187
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:41,040
I think that I ran out of that so I have to use other means and I have a few

188
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:47,880
plans so one plan is the tiktoks get people pull people from tiktok onto my

189
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:54,560
channel and then have them watch and hopefully become subscribers and then I

190
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:59,800
have another and when I say subscriber I'm I'm not monetized I'm just saying

191
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:06,200
like they follow my channel they and there's a stat on rss.com that they

192
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,240
give you it's called rolling average subscriber that's what I'm referring to

193
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:13,800
it's just like the average subscriber because you can't really tell how many

194
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:18,320
subs there's no real stat to tell you how much subscribers you have so it gives

195
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:23,720
you the average based off of how many people watch every single episode you

196
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:29,640
post within 24 hours of it post you and right now I have seven which I'm very

197
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:34,240
happy about because there's seven people listening to me every single day so

198
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:42,880
that's cool but what I'm trying to say is I have a few plans so right now is the

199
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:47,360
tiktok to get more organic traffic traffic for free simply just for me

200
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:52,960
providing content and then I have another plan which I may or may not start I

201
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:59,880
don't know how to even go about it but I may start posting ads or buying ads

202
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:03,600
right now I have like a hundred bucks in my bank account so I don't know if

203
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:10,120
that's a good idea I think I might just focus on organic traffic because I want

204
00:20:10,120 --> 00:20:15,520
to save my money for memberships that I am paying for that are gonna charge me

205
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:21,520
like if I don't have enough money to pay for my RSS comm subscription then I

206
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:27,840
won't be able to my channel will probably disappear so that is essential

207
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:32,680
same with my podcast so I need to pay for that like there's some things that I

208
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:38,120
have to pay for so I'm I might not do paid ads but I was thinking about doing

209
00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:43,600
it and then the other thing the other thing on my plan is I actually wrote

210
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:50,520
this yesterday in my notebook go on to other people's shows like be a guest on

211
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:56,400
other people's shows and this I want to go back to the identity thing it's

212
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:01,240
extremely hard because it's outside of your comfort zone but you have to take

213
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:06,400
on this new identity so right now my current identity is solo podcaster and

214
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,560
I've gotten very comfortable with it like if you go back to my first episode it

215
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:15,840
was out of my comfort zone like I was not wanting to do it I didn't want to do

216
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:20,480
it and it was uncomfortable for me so it's out of my comfort zone so it was

217
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:25,360
part of my 20% new things and it's good that I focused on a percent on it but

218
00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:30,880
now I'm 76 episodes in and naturally I've become comfortable at it it's in it's

219
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:37,560
been pulled into my comfort zone so the next thing that I'm gonna focus on is

220
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:43,720
go on other people's podcasts be a guest on other people's podcast and if I can

221
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:52,360
find people's podcasts that are in the same niche or market as me I can hopefully

222
00:21:52,360 --> 00:21:59,920
grab more organic audience grab more viewers from that if I do a good job on

223
00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:07,000
that those episodes then I can they'll say like oh how can people find you and

224
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:11,960
then at the end I'll just be like I have a podcast ascend momentum and then

225
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,480
that's it that's literally all I'll do because that's the only thing I'm trying

226
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,520
to grow right now that's all I care about my podcast I want to grow my

227
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:25,280
podcast because I've got a few plans after the podcast so let's stay on the

228
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:30,440
topic of being a guest on other people's shows I don't even know how to go about

229
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:36,600
starting it but I'm not gonna worry about it till 24 days from now so let me

230
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:46,120
explain I wrote in my book in my journal I will be I will begin to be a guest I

231
00:22:46,120 --> 00:22:52,120
will begin looking into being a guest speaker once I reach episode 100 there's

232
00:22:52,120 --> 00:22:58,080
a few reasons one Seth Godin said he'll be a guest on anyone's podcast anyone's

233
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,720
show once they reach episode 100 because that shows they're in it for the

234
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:07,160
long run they're they're serious about it so I want to I want to portray myself

235
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:11,040
as being serious because I am serious about it and I want to prove it I want

236
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:15,320
people to see that I'm credible and I have actually been I'm in it for the

237
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:21,200
long run so that's one reason another reason is I want so right now I'm very

238
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:27,480
comfortable with or I'm not very comfortable but I'm way better at a

239
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:32,800
podcast at being a podcaster and I go so far to say that I'm almost an expert I

240
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:39,320
don't know what expert status looks like or sounds like on a podcast but I wrote

241
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:44,680
down in my journal I will once I reach episode 100 I will be an expert

242
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:50,920
podcaster and I will begin to go be a guest on other people's shows that's

243
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:57,000
what I said so once I reach episode 100 I will begin to like promote myself to

244
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:04,160
other podcasts hosts and hopefully they'll invite me on to their show so

245
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:09,360
that's kind of a plan to get more organic traffic right now I'm just currently

246
00:24:09,360 --> 00:24:16,000
my only organic source is the podcast and I've been doing it for 76 episodes and

247
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:21,240
it's I have seven subscribers so I'm not really gaining that much organic

248
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:26,360
traffic it's not too fast and then another method that I've begun the other

249
00:24:26,360 --> 00:24:30,840
day which I haven't actually begun in real time because I scheduled the posts

250
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:37,800
for the fourth so tomorrow it will begin tomorrow is the first day that I'll be

251
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:43,280
posting my tiktoks so that's a second organic method and the reason why I'm

252
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:48,360
focusing on organic is because I simply don't have the funds to buy ads like I

253
00:24:48,360 --> 00:24:54,640
don't have the funds to pay for traffic I don't have money I'm broke and so I

254
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,520
don't want to say that actually because that's a bad identity thing to say out

255
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:05,680
loud I'm actually abundant but that that's whatever so I don't have much

256
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,440
money right now at the moment so that's why I'm focusing on organic so I have to

257
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:15,160
figure out ways that I can do it for free and then the third and probably most

258
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:20,760
powerful way of getting traffic is to be a guest speaker on someone else's

259
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:25,480
podcast and this is for multiple reasons one they already have a follower base

260
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:33,360
built up so I'll already be tapping into a built up pond of viewers versus the

261
00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:36,880
tiktok I'd have to build up my follower base the podcast I have to build up my

262
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:43,920
follower base to they're on the same platform there's a thing where people

263
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,120
don't want to leave their current platform like people ten youtubers

264
00:25:47,120 --> 00:25:52,560
YouTube viewers tend to stay on YouTube like they don't want to go to

265
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:57,480
youtubers podcast per se or they don't want to go to their tiktok or their

266
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:04,000
Instagram like they tend to consumers tend to want to stay on their current

267
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:08,400
platform on the platform they're comfortable at and so that's why it'll

268
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:15,280
be tough to grab tiktok viewers over to my podcast it's possible but it's not

269
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:20,440
going to be the most efficient method and then so that's why it'll be the best

270
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:27,160
source for those two reasons is being a guest speaker and plus it'll greatly

271
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:32,680
expand my comfort zone because I am an introvert and I'm not very when I speak

272
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:38,400
I can get into the flow like I have gotten into the flow speaking with my

273
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:45,160
friends but I've never gotten into the flow speaking with a stranger and so it

274
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:49,600
will be interesting I don't know how it would even set up because I may have to

275
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:54,960
travel I don't I would prefer to travel but I don't have the funds I'd prefer I

276
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:59,120
don't know I I don't know if they would pay for it if I would have to pay for it

277
00:26:59,120 --> 00:27:06,200
I don't know but that's like I really want I think that this is my next step and

278
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:12,040
that's like that's pretty much my current trajectory that I'm looking at for

279
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:17,440
that now let's talk about further along the road once I get more viewers so

280
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:22,080
right now I have seven subscribers we've established this I wrote down in my book

281
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:27,280
so let me give some context I went to funnel hacking live and the theme of

282
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:31,800
this year was the linchpin which is basically a reoccurring revenue model

283
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:37,640
so it's basically you build a membership site and you get people to pay you monthly

284
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:43,400
for it that's essentially what it is so right now I don't have a business I'm

285
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:48,240
just focusing on building my audience and I'm very glad that I'm building I'm

286
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:53,080
just focused on this because this was the first thing that I could do that like

287
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:57,520
right here right now that I could just get reps at or get reps and get better

288
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:04,280
and get better podcasting and that's what I'm doing right now and so what I want

289
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,160
to do I like the whole reason why I'm doing this is to set up a business and

290
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:12,280
so the business I'm gonna set up is a linchpin model it's gonna follow the

291
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:18,280
linchpin model and I don't even know what I want to do but all I know is that my

292
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:24,600
plan I wrote this down in my journal once I get 100 subscribers so 100 people

293
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:29,720
are watching me every single day or listening to me every single day once

294
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:37,200
I get that number then I will start to build a membership site and the way I'm

295
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:42,800
gonna do it is I'm gonna like send out a survey to my viewers that's basically

296
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,320
gonna be like an open-ended response so I'm gonna send out a survey to you guys

297
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:50,720
and then I'm going to be

298
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:56,240
reading all those responses and then building a membership site around it

299
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:04,560
because this is huge this will tell me exactly what you guys want and as a

300
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:10,240
result it'll tell me all of your problems that you're need solved and then

301
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:15,080
I'll be way better equipped with more intel Intel to better solve those

302
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,720
problems and then I'll be able to hit on all of the different things that you're

303
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:23,480
experiencing in the membership site so it'll have a higher quality experience

304
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:29,120
for you guys plus it'll be a better business model for me because the

305
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:34,160
customer will actually want it whereas if I was to just make a whole membership

306
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:38,680
site and it turns out no one even wants it well then that that would be bad for

307
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:43,760
both me and you guys so that's kind of where I'm at with that because once I

308
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,960
get a hundred subscribers I am going to start building the membership site and

309
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:54,640
then I'll promote it onto here because now I'll have audience congregated so

310
00:29:54,640 --> 00:30:00,120
once I get a hundred subscribers I send some of those people over to buy my

311
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:04,200
membership site and then I can serve them at a higher level serve them at a

312
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:09,200
higher level and then who knows maybe I'll do coaching again that was actually

313
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:15,440
my plan to do prior like went back I don't know what episode it was it was

314
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:20,120
probably like episode 46 or around for in the 40s I think I was talking about

315
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:24,760
that and so that I was talking about doing coaching which I actually think

316
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,640
that would be a good idea because it would be good off in the beginning

317
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:33,840
because then I can get some quick cash or I don't know if that's the right word

318
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:38,920
but I would charge like $50 an hour and then I could get like cash right now to

319
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,640
build up funds build up capital so I can invest in more and more and better

320
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:48,200
resources like I invested in this face cam I invested in some software and all

321
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,520
of this stuff I actually invest in books so I can educate myself so I can be a

322
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:57,400
better podcast so like that's I count books as an investment into my business

323
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:02,560
even though I don't think they're actually like legally allowed to be tax

324
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,760
write-offs I don't know anything about taxes yet but that's something I'm

325
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:11,160
definitely gonna be getting into in the future but I spent a lot of money on

326
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:15,560
books because I want to educate myself as I've been saying in the past couple

327
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:20,200
episodes whatever book I'm reading at the moment heavily influences the course

328
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:24,640
of the episode and right now I'm reading 10x is easier than 2x that's why I

329
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:30,360
spent the whole like beginning portion of this episode on identity because

330
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,000
that's what I learned in the 10x is easier than 2x it's fresh on my mind

331
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:38,680
plus when I teach it I strengthen my understanding and then I can teach you

332
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:43,600
guys what I'm learning along the way like that's the whole that's the whole

333
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:49,720
documenting of the journey so I'm investing a lot of books so I'm spending

334
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,680
a lot of money on books I'm spending a lot of money on my education which is

335
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:58,960
which is just books now let's talk about the books I said that I ordered my

336
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:03,520
face cam and five books the earlier and I said I was gonna talk about the books

337
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:10,920
later and now's the time so I want to explain there is this one website that

338
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:15,080
I've been obsessing over for the past like maybe month I don't know how long

339
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:20,640
it's been but it's been a while back when I don't remember what episode it was

340
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:26,400
but it was a long time ago I made an episode I don't remember what it was

341
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:32,380
titled but it was before the episode titled how a declassified CIA document

342
00:32:32,380 --> 00:32:36,920
changed my life it was before that episode so I found a website called and

343
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:42,240
you guys are probably very well versed in this story but I'm just gonna tell it

344
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,320
again because I haven't told in a while so I found a website called the most

345
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:51,600
beautiful world and on this website it was a reading list and the way I found

346
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:55,720
this website was I was researching Transurfing reality Transurfing which

347
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,760
is a book that I've been reading for the past six months seven months now I

348
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:05,600
think but I haven't read it in a few weeks I or I haven't read it in like a

349
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:09,480
week because I've read it twice and it's 750 pages long so I've read it twice

350
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:13,720
but I definitely plan on reading again it's the best book I've ever read alright

351
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:19,080
that's the summary so I found this website the most beautiful world and it

352
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,320
was a reading list called the ultimate reading list for human beings and I read

353
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:27,080
it it was like a blog post where it taught it wrote the article out just like

354
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:32,080
explaining stuff and then it gave the list the list of the books so I read the

355
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:36,520
article and it was talking about like this is the list like number one list

356
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:40,800
for human beings everyone should read this list and then it was talking about

357
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,600
all of the a lot of the stuff that I learned in Transurfing like you are a

358
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:49,640
god like you have you're a creator of your world like you get to choose all

359
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:54,920
all this stuff it was speaking in a language that I came fond of and I

360
00:33:54,920 --> 00:34:01,640
really appreciate that language because it's what I strive to learn more about

361
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:07,320
and then he said that before you read any book the first book you should read

362
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:12,000
is reality Transurfing so right then and there I knew this book this list was

363
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,520
very important because he's basically saying reality Transurfing is the

364
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:20,040
foundation to this reading list which by the way this reading list is the

365
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:24,840
ultimate reading list for human beings so if reality Transurfing is the

366
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:30,000
foundation that means Transurfing is the foundation to human life so we've

367
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:37,760
established that now then I went on to read it and the first maybe 50 hundred

368
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:42,480
books I had never even heard of before yet he said that they were the most

369
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:50,640
influential or the best books he's ever he's ever read that is insane all the

370
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,920
majority of the books on that list I'd never read before I'd never even heard

371
00:34:53,920 --> 00:35:00,160
of before so but then he was also talking about in the let's go back up to the

372
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:09,000
the blog post he was saying he said there's this reading method that is you

373
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,120
can it allows you to read a book a day depending on how much time you have but

374
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:16,840
you can read way more quick way quicker and more effectively and efficiently

375
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:22,240
using this reading method which is to get seven books at a time and then read

376
00:35:22,240 --> 00:35:26,960
one until you lose focus and then switch to the next one and then read one

377
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,640
until you lose focus and then switch and then repeat and repeat and repeat and

378
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:35,200
interspersed with pushups every once in a while and then this reading method will

379
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:42,440
be way more effective for reading like way more books in a shorter amount of

380
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:51,040
time so I was extremely skeptical with that because I was not with that speed

381
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:55,440
now I wasn't skeptical of the speed I kind of am skeptical of the speed but

382
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:59,960
the reason why skeptical because I don't know how much information I'll retain

383
00:35:59,960 --> 00:36:05,960
using that method because if you guys remember a while back when I first started

384
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:11,720
reading reality Transurfing for the second time I also wanted to read expert

385
00:36:11,720 --> 00:36:16,960
secrets for the second time so I was reading expert secrets as well as

386
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:21,760
Transurfing so I was reading expert in the in the morning and then

387
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,800
Transurfing at night and then eventually I realized I wasn't retaining much

388
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,480
information on Transurfing so I read Transurfing in the morning and then

389
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,600
Expert at night and then I realized that I wasn't retaining much information on

390
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:36,440
Expert so then I just decided to go all in on Transurfing because I knew I

391
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:40,960
realized that it's not a good idea to read multiple books at the same time like

392
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:45,840
two books at the same time so you're not gonna retain as much and I had known of

393
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:51,000
this principle yet I wanted to read them both at the same time just to be able to

394
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:56,360
get them both at the same time I learned about this rule of thumb from a book

395
00:36:56,360 --> 00:37:01,280
called the four-hour work week where in like the you know how when there's like

396
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:05,800
a one so they say a word or a sentence and then there's like a one on the top

397
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:09,760
right it's kind of like an exponent and then you know that that or it's like a

398
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:15,680
star or a cross you know to look at the bottom of the page to learn more about

399
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:20,640
what that is and then the author like writes like a side note at the bottom so

400
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:27,400
there was a side note that I read and it was basically

401
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:36,240
I'm blanking on his name the author of the four-hour work week he basically said

402
00:37:36,240 --> 00:37:42,240
trust me I have been reading for or trust me when I say from someone who's

403
00:37:42,240 --> 00:37:50,240
been reading strictly nonfiction books for like 15 years of his life he does

404
00:37:50,240 --> 00:37:55,560
not recommend reading two nonfiction books at the same time so I knew that I

405
00:37:55,560 --> 00:38:00,760
followed it and then I decided not to and then I realized it was bad idea so

406
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:05,840
that's kind of why I have I'm skeptical over this seven reading method because

407
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:10,280
instead of two books it's seven books and you're constantly switching back and

408
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:15,480
forth I'm not sure if I'll even retain the information much less remember where

409
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:19,560
it came from like which book it came from which I'm sure I'll be able to

410
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:25,040
cipher through which book it came from but that's kind of what I'm skeptical

411
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:29,320
about but I decided I was gonna give it a try but first I wanted to finish

412
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:33,360
transurfing and then go to funnel hacking live and then read the linchpin

413
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:39,440
while I'm there and then go home and then read these books but I was aware of the

414
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:45,440
fact that I may decide that I wanted to continue reading or I wanted to read a

415
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:50,600
different book because the funnel hacking live was a huge monumental shift in my

416
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:56,040
life so and I knew it was gonna be so it may call me to read a different book and

417
00:38:56,040 --> 00:39:01,160
it did so I actually have two books on my list before I even start this these

418
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:05,760
seven books and right now the first one is the 10x is easier than 2x I'm about a

419
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:12,200
third of the way done excuse me I'm about a third of the way done with that

420
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:20,800
book and then the second book on my list is called create don't capture and I

421
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:26,200
haven't started that but it's a pretty small book let me get some water

422
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:41,920
all right so oh my gosh my voice excuse me this create don't capture I want to

423
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:47,240
read after that so these are the two books on my list right now not as much

424
00:39:47,240 --> 00:39:51,720
of a change as I was expecting which I'm grateful for because I really want to

425
00:39:51,720 --> 00:39:56,280
get into these books and in fact I'm so excited to get into these books that I

426
00:39:56,280 --> 00:40:02,240
actually just ordered the first set of seven because if you remember you read

427
00:40:02,240 --> 00:40:07,760
them in us in the exact order he gave you he listed them all out in the exact

428
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:12,920
order you should read them and then he also said read seven at a time so but

429
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:18,360
there are some that he said read after this certain one so but it's like rate

430
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:23,520
after it's like let's say this is not the actual order or the actual numbers but

431
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:29,120
for example the second book on the list he said read after the first book but

432
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:33,240
that wouldn't work because you're supposed to read them all in order using

433
00:40:33,240 --> 00:40:37,400
seven at a time so you would get the first book and the second book at the

434
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:41,520
same time so that's why I moved the first one to the first set and then the

435
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:46,040
second one to the second set so I had to do a little organization but I ended up

436
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:53,720
with my list and I had a list of seven and I added in one book that is not on

437
00:40:53,720 --> 00:40:58,480
the reading list that I really wanted to read and it's called Toofty and it's

438
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:04,280
by Vadim Zan who's the author of Reality Transurfing and that's the next

439
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,160
book that I wanted to read from him because I've only read Reality

440
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:13,200
Transurfing parts one through five I haven't read his other three books so

441
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:20,480
that's why I bought that and now my the first set of seven books is Die Wise

442
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:24,520
Dancing After The Music Stops

443
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:32,480
Come Of Age I think it's called Toofty

444
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:38,360
I don't even remember what they are I'll have to tell you guys in a

445
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:43,440
future episode because to be honest I completely forgot them all but those are

446
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:48,280
like the first three or four but I want to talk about Dancing After The Music

447
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:52,680
Stops that book I actually started to read the introduction a couple weeks

448
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:57,560
back and that actually changed I'm very grateful I did because that changed the

449
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:02,840
course of events of my life again in that book in the introduction I've told

450
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:09,560
you guys this a few times on the episode he wrote a he inserted in the intro of

451
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:14,760
his book he inserted a declassified CIA document about time travel which was

452
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:19,560
crazy for me to see and I read it and it was I didn't make it didn't make any

453
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:24,320
sense to me so the next day I ended up like looking at that whole document I

454
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:31,840
printed it out read it all in a weekend and it was all about this meditation

455
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:40,200
method using Hemisync which Hemisync is a it's basically playing a noise in your

456
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:44,560
right ear and a slightly different frequency noise in your left ear and

457
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:51,640
then it your whole brain synchronizes and then creates a third noise which is

458
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:55,200
the difference of the two so let's say your right ear is 100 Hertz your left

459
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:59,720
year is a hundred four Hertz your whole brain will play a four Hertz frequency so

460
00:42:59,720 --> 00:43:06,560
it's kind of strange but I definitely think that it works because I've been

461
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:14,160
doing Hemisync for a few weeks now with three days three times a day two to three

462
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:18,080
times so in the beginning the first week I did two times a day and then I quickly

463
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:23,040
moved up to three times a day which they're like 30 30 to 45 minute meditation

464
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:29,560
tapes so that's like 30 minutes times three so like 90 minutes a day 90 to an hour and a half

465
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:39,240
or that's the same 90 to like two hours a day and then I do that three so I do a

466
00:43:39,240 --> 00:43:44,320
three times a day one in the morning one before the podcast one at night and then

467
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:48,120
when I went to funnel hacking live I was trying to stay consistent but I was only

468
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:54,560
able to do one or two times for the first couple days and then there's a few

469
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:58,280
days there's like two days that I didn't do it at all because there was no time

470
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:02,760
and then I was getting and then I got back consistent I got back to consistency

471
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:08,080
and now I'm doing it back to three times a day I did it yesterday and today so I'm

472
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:12,240
pretty much been doing it very consistently for the past two or three

473
00:44:12,240 --> 00:44:19,280
weeks I think and I'm definitely able to get in a much deeper meditation I'm

474
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:26,120
I'm definitely noticing a difference between now and before I even went to

475
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:32,400
funnel hacking live because I'm much more relaxed in this state I haven't

476
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:37,600
achieved mind-awake body asleep which is like sleep paralysis I have not achieved

477
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:45,240
that yet but I am a lot more relaxed but there is one issue since I went to

478
00:44:45,240 --> 00:44:50,720
funnel hacking live my sleep was scattered because I stayed up to like

479
00:44:50,720 --> 00:44:55,600
12 o'clock one night because it lasted like all the way to like 11 30 stay up

480
00:44:55,600 --> 00:45:01,480
to like 12 one night and then 10 the other night like I was up late for a few

481
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:10,320
days in a row and then Sunday night I was up till like 8 30 maybe 8 o'clock and

482
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:19,720
then last night I was up till 7 usually I'm usually I go to bed at 6 30 and this

483
00:45:19,720 --> 00:45:24,960
definitely affected me because I'm right tonight I'm gonna go to bed at 6 30 my

484
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:34,800
normal time no matter what because this is extremely it okay so when I go to bed

485
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:42,080
that late even if it's 30 minutes late my meditation is a lot less focused let

486
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:47,920
me explain one my mind is not as like disciplined or focused because I'm just

487
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:54,680
tired and two I fall asleep sometimes or I space out way more often so like the

488
00:45:54,680 --> 00:46:00,920
up the the meditation that I had just before this like 10 like five minutes

489
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:05,600
before I recorded started recording this episode the meditation that I had I was

490
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:10,520
probably asleep I don't know if I was asleep or just clicked out for the

491
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:17,360
majority of it like I remember finishing my finishing my preparatory

492
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:21,880
process and then I remember him calling us back like he literally I finished my

493
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:28,720
preparatory process started getting the focus 10 and then I it was time to get

494
00:46:28,720 --> 00:46:32,440
out and it like 30 minutes had passed even though it seemed like no time

495
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:37,840
passed and I think it's because I'm tired like my mind is tired so that's why

496
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:42,560
I have to focus on my sleep because it's affecting my meditation and then my

497
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:46,840
meditation is what I'm really focused on like my meditation is extremely

498
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:53,120
important for me because for my development process because I want to get

499
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:57,760
to focus 12 so that I can one ask questions to my inner self because today

500
00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:07,800
I had a lot of I had a lot of kind of tension I was I like my mind felt

501
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:12,320
oppressed a lot of the day and at the gym I was like why why am I feeling

502
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:17,000
oppressed right now like why do I feel tense why does my heart feel tense and I

503
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:21,480
didn't have the answer so that's why I want to get to focus 12 so I can ask the

504
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:28,480
questions to my higher self and then get those higher frame of mind answers back

505
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:35,280
another reason is when you're at focus 12 your visualization is much more

506
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:42,100
effective you're able to manifest things much better and it's also they

507
00:47:42,100 --> 00:47:46,720
found that non some non visualizers are actually able to visualize and I am a

508
00:47:46,720 --> 00:47:53,080
non-visualizer and so I'm I'm able I want to be able to visualize so I can one

509
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:59,960
have more like one be able to actually feel it and see it and then two so it's

510
00:47:59,960 --> 00:48:05,480
more effective and I'm talking about my visualizing my goal which I explained in

511
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:13,560
yesterday's episode my goal is to live in Hawaii and become a surfer and have

512
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:21,080
ten million dollars in annual recurring revenue every single year that's that's

513
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:25,120
what I want my business to be ten mil every year I want to make ten mil every

514
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:35,300
year and that's that's basically my goal but that's why I'm focusing a lot on

515
00:48:35,300 --> 00:48:42,720
meditation and this gateway process is extremely important it's extremely good

516
00:48:42,720 --> 00:48:49,400
it's extremely beneficial and quick side tangent I clicked back on to the tab

517
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:53,440
because I had a different I had a new tab open that I was just looking at this

518
00:48:53,440 --> 00:49:02,400
whole time and because I on my normal tab it shows a big screen of me like just a

519
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:06,080
screen of what you guys are seeing on YouTube right now and so I didn't want

520
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:09,280
to like look at that because I didn't want to get distracted and so I clicked

521
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:15,160
on a new tab and just so I could focus but I wanted to go back to my recording

522
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:19,360
tab so I can see how much time it was and there's ten minutes left so that's

523
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:23,960
around 435 is when I'm done so I'm going back to my new tab but that's a side note

524
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:30,560
but let's talk let's review and this review is useful for you guys and me so

525
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:35,640
I can know what to write down so you guys can know what you learned shed your

526
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:43,680
identity like overcome that comfort zone and then another thing I was talking

527
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:51,920
about is just start like this I just told my dad cuz I was supposed to get a

528
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:56,440
curtain behind me and nail it to the ceiling so you guys wouldn't see the

529
00:49:56,440 --> 00:50:02,440
background but I didn't want to spend the time doing that today and I told my

530
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:08,000
dad like my rule of thumb is just start and figure things out later that's and

531
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:11,560
so that's what I want you guys to know just start and figure things out later

532
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:16,960
like that's why I just got this I started this podcast figure that figured

533
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:23,880
it out along the way and I don't even know where I was going with that but

534
00:50:25,240 --> 00:50:33,040
that's yeah but then I was also talking about meditation and reading and books

535
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:39,160
it like educate yourself it's extremely important and meditate honestly

536
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:45,760
meditation has been one of the highest level I would I don't know where to put

537
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:50,480
meditation and reading it doesn't even matter what what they are comparing each

538
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:55,440
other but I'm really looking forward to the future of my reading because I have

539
00:50:55,440 --> 00:51:03,520
been dialing in on reading this 10x is easier than 2x because I really want to

540
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:10,560
get through the 10x is easier than 2x and cat create don't capture so I can get

541
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:14,520
into these books because I've been looking forward to these books for quite

542
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:21,760
some time and I'm not gonna rush these current two books too much because they

543
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:30,160
are extremely valuable and the last book on like my list won't even arrive like I

544
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:36,280
bought two FD on Amazon and it won't even arrive for like 10 days I think so I

545
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:41,320
have 10 days to finish 10x is easier than 2x as well as create don't capture and

546
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:46,560
that's basically where I'm at with that I I believe that I'll be able to finish

547
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:52,320
in 10 days pretty easily because create don't capture is a pretty thin book it's

548
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:57,400
probably like that big and it's like I think it's around 200 maybe less than

549
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:03,920
200 pages and then 10x is easier than 2x is an average size book and it's like

550
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:10,240
250 around pages but I'm already a hundred pages in so I'm a little I'm like

551
00:52:10,240 --> 00:52:15,120
almost halfway done like a third I'm definitely a third of the way done but I

552
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:21,400
predict that the 10x book is gonna be a book that I go back to and reread and

553
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:26,280
kind of study just like I did to Transurfing because Transurfing is a

554
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:32,680
high tier book and I kind of see that 10x is easier than 2x is a high tier book

555
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:36,720
maybe not as high as Transurfing but definitely up there and I definitely

556
00:52:36,720 --> 00:52:42,360
feel like it's extremely valuable because it's simply just there's a lot

557
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:47,280
more stories in it I feel like Transurfing doesn't have too many stories

558
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:53,400
it's kind of just like telling you a lot of things actually I don't know I don't

559
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:57,280
think there's much stories in Transurfing except for in the beginning

560
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:03,000
like the intro the preface or the foreword actually is just the story of

561
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:08,000
how he learned it like that was like the only story that is in the whole book

562
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:16,720
really but I'm really I'm really excited for the future my plans are organic

563
00:53:16,720 --> 00:53:25,320
traffic focus on organic traffic and I am focusing on this taking in this new

564
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:31,120
identity of a podcaster because I was thinking this morning while I was

565
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:38,240
reading the 10x book I my okay so I have my 10x goal which is surf become a

566
00:53:38,240 --> 00:53:46,680
surfer in Hawaii and have be in the 2 comma club X 2 comma club X which is

567
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:51,720
ten million dollars a year I don't know if it's actually a year but my goal is

568
00:53:51,720 --> 00:53:57,240
ten million a year and that's my identity like that's that that's the new

569
00:53:57,240 --> 00:54:04,160
10x goal that I'm trying to achieve but another thing that I was thinking about

570
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:09,600
was podcasting like right now because there was he was talking about Mr.

571
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:15,120
Beasts and his like up and coming and how Mr. Beast just from the beginning he

572
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:20,440
was he was determined to become the number one youtuber in the world like the

573
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:26,160
number one youtuber and spoiler alert he became the number one youtuber in the

574
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:31,400
world but he was like that he came his identity like just

575
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:34,880
you tubing you tubing is that the right word in

576
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:40,240
you tubing I don't even know but he was focused and he was also talking about

577
00:54:40,240 --> 00:54:45,880
quality over quantity now right now I'm focusing on quantity I'm doing one hour

578
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:51,720
every single day episodes but they may or may not be high quality but I figured

579
00:54:51,720 --> 00:54:58,440
that the more and more practice I get the more and more reps I get the higher

580
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:03,040
the quality will get because I'll get better and better and better but then I

581
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:10,160
was also thinking that I haven't really land anything out now I kind of just

582
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:15,240
figure things out along the way and as a result there's a lot of time spent of me

583
00:55:15,240 --> 00:55:21,400
kind of just not really talking or kind of talking like stupid or not stupidly

584
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:28,240
but me talking not really let not very audibly if that makes sense and that's

585
00:55:28,240 --> 00:55:32,200
simply just I'm trying to figure out of something to say next the next topic to

586
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:38,320
say but I feel like one surefire way to increase the quality is to just jot down

587
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:41,120
and I've talked about this before but I never really did it I did it in the

588
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:51,520
beginning but I quickly stopped maybe jot down a few extremely lengthy concepts

589
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:56,120
so maybe if I want to talk about mindset that would be one concept but I could

590
00:55:56,120 --> 00:56:01,400
get into very big length and depth on it and then maybe there would be another

591
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:07,120
like maybe there would be two or three or four words jotted down so that I can

592
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:13,480
like go to them and talk at length for like 25 minutes 30 minutes each and then

593
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:16,680
that will allow me to have higher quality because I'll have something to say

594
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:25,120
all the time so that's another thing but I'm not I'm not too sure because I know

595
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:30,200
that I definitely know that I'm getting better like if you compare this episode

596
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:36,720
to episode 10 or episode 20 you will be able to tell the difference even like

597
00:56:36,720 --> 00:56:42,120
okay so episode 30 was using the same microphone so it would not be fair to

598
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:45,880
compare this episode to episode 15 because I wasn't using this microphone

599
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:54,880
but this episode to episode 30 I haven't listened to episode 30 but I think that

600
00:56:54,880 --> 00:57:01,440
I'm definitely a lot better because it's been like 40 like 45 days since is 45

601
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:06,720
more hours of practice so that's another thing and another way to increase my

602
00:57:06,720 --> 00:57:12,520
quality of episodes is to just be more of an expert if you guys could tell what

603
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:20,800
in the beginning of my of my show I wasn't too good or confident or knowledgeable

604
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:26,000
at speaking about trans surfing but towards the end of when I actually

605
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:30,960
stopped or towards the end of when I finished reading at the second time I

606
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:34,480
was extremely knowledgeable and I was like way more of an expert at

607
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:38,240
trans surfing than I was before so that's another way to increase the quality

608
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:44,600
get way more knowledgeable at something and so that's why it's extremely high

609
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:49,400
valuable to study trans surfing but I want to study a lot of other stuff and

610
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:55,120
get more diverse knowledge base and so that's why I I have a feeling that if

611
00:57:55,120 --> 00:58:01,600
this seven reading method will work effectively then I'm definitely gonna be

612
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:08,040
having a very high boost in my like quality of episodes because I'll be

613
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:11,920
learning a lot of different things I'll learn I'll be learning from seven

614
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:15,760
different books there's one books about there's one book about Egypt there's

615
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:20,680
another book about trans surfing there's another book about dying wise another

616
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:25,520
book about dancing after them like dancing after the music stop I don't

617
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:28,720
even know what it's about but I think it's like your spiritual guidebook to

618
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:34,560
life so like all of these books will give me a bunch of different things to

619
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:41,800
focus on or not focus on but a lot of different kind of what's the word it

620
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:45,680
will give me a lot of different things to talk about and things to learn because

621
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:49,040
I'll be picking up a lot of different things I'll be reading seven books at a

622
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:53,840
time so I'll read one book until I lose focus I'll pick up a few things there and

623
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:57,120
then switch a few things there a few things there a few things there and I'll

624
00:58:57,120 --> 00:59:02,720
just keep going back and back and back so that's like that's like I'm really

625
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:08,080
excited to start doing that seven method on reading list I really hope I know I'm

626
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:14,600
skeptical but I really hope that it ends up good and it ends up working out but

627
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:20,400
the last thing I want to talk about is do not focus on the tactics I find

628
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:26,560
myself all the time kind of wasting a lot of time figuring out how to set

629
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:33,600
things up because yesterday I wasted a lot of time trying to set up a AI video

630
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:41,080
editing software so I can edit my tiktoks and that wasted literally like 40

631
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:46,440
minutes of my day so focus on the strategies like I said earlier just

632
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:53,920
start and figure it out along the way so to wrap things up don't forget to

633
00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:58,280
download your favorite episodes and subscribe to the ascend momentum show
