So let's say you make progress 19 00:01:21,100 --> 00:01:24,540 Let's say you go for making ten thousand dollars a year to 20 00:01:25,580 --> 00:01:27,580 900,000 dollars a year 21 00:01:27,620 --> 00:01:29,780 And now you didn't achieve your goal 22 00:01:30,900 --> 00:01:37,940 However, you did increase your income by a significant sum by an extremely large sum 23 00:01:37,940 --> 00:01:47,740 But since you're in the gap then you will be saying oh, I didn't make my goal. I like I'm bad 24 00:01:47,740 --> 00:01:53,940 I I'm in a terrible position. I suck like you'll pretty much be not happy about it 25 00:01:54,500 --> 00:01:58,100 Even though you should be happy about making nine hundred thousand dollars 26 00:01:58,660 --> 00:01:59,820 and 27 00:01:59,820 --> 00:02:03,540 Then let's say another example is if you 28 00:02:03,540 --> 00:02:09,460 Reach your goal if you make two million dollars then you you'll probably find some other 29 00:02:10,140 --> 00:02:14,020 reason to be mad like maybe it took too long or maybe 30 00:02:15,780 --> 00:02:18,940 Something I don't even know maybe you missed a few opportunities 31 00:02:19,940 --> 00:02:23,420 So that's pretty much the gap and that's most people's default 32 00:02:24,180 --> 00:02:26,420 Stand like standard mode of operating 33 00:02:27,020 --> 00:02:29,780 Now what the gain is the gain? 34 00:02:30,460 --> 00:02:32,460 Are let me explain this first 35 00:02:32,460 --> 00:02:40,820 The gap in the gain are two different kind of mindsets when it comes to the world or kind of worldviews you could say and 36 00:02:41,740 --> 00:02:43,740 They relate to the 10x 37 00:02:44,420 --> 00:02:45,860 process 38 00:02:45,860 --> 00:02:47,860 so first on recap 39 00:02:48,540 --> 00:02:51,620 most people live in a 2 in the 2x and 40 00:02:52,220 --> 00:02:54,100 it's basically where they're 41 00:02:54,100 --> 00:02:58,860 Not really pushing too hard 80% of their actions are spent 42 00:02:58,860 --> 00:03:04,180 doing things they're already used to things they're comfortable with and then 43 00:03:06,300 --> 00:03:10,300 20% is doing new actions new uncomfortable things 44 00:03:11,580 --> 00:03:13,580 Things you're maybe not good at yet 45 00:03:14,540 --> 00:03:19,420 So that's the two that's the 2x and then the 10x is basically 46 00:03:20,140 --> 00:03:26,020 When you're living in that 20% so instead of 20% of the actions being 47 00:03:26,020 --> 00:03:30,660 Like new it becomes 80% of the actions becoming new 48 00:03:31,140 --> 00:03:33,980 So you basically go all in on that 20% 49 00:03:34,940 --> 00:03:41,700 like I like to think of the 20% is like the target for evolution and like target for self-improvement 50 00:03:42,220 --> 00:03:46,500 You want to live in that 20% for the majority of your time and 51 00:03:47,540 --> 00:03:50,420 the 10x allows for evolution and 52 00:03:51,500 --> 00:03:53,500 massive improvement 53 00:03:53,500 --> 00:04:00,260 So one example is when you are crawling as a baby and then you learn how to walk that's a 10x 54 00:04:00,260 --> 00:04:02,260 That's a 10x jump is what? 55 00:04:02,780 --> 00:04:07,500 Dan Sullivan and Benjamin Hardy dr. Benjamin Hardy says 56 00:04:07,980 --> 00:04:15,460 That's a 10x jump. So whenever you kind of evolve as a person or evolve as an entrepreneur or evolve as 57 00:04:16,100 --> 00:04:20,820 Like a husband boyfriend or whatever it may be then that's a 10x jump 58 00:04:20,820 --> 00:04:25,420 so if you go from a blog like a 59 00:04:25,820 --> 00:04:31,220 Running a blog to becoming an author, which is what James Clear and dr. Hardy both did 60 00:04:31,860 --> 00:04:33,860 Then that's a 10x jump 61 00:04:34,300 --> 00:04:38,660 and then one of the examples that he told about is 62 00:04:41,300 --> 00:04:44,100 Michelangelo he was famous 63 00:04:44,100 --> 00:04:49,940 a sculptor or artist and he basically 64 00:04:51,260 --> 00:04:53,820 wanted to learn how to sculpt a 65 00:04:55,420 --> 00:04:57,340 sculpture and 66 00:04:57,340 --> 00:05:03,940 He didn't know anything about anatomy and he needed to know anatomy in order to create the sculpture that he wanted and like 67 00:05:04,020 --> 00:05:06,540 know how to create it so and 68 00:05:06,540 --> 00:05:14,300 The only way to study it study anatomy it was to kind of study the dead and 69 00:05:14,900 --> 00:05:16,460 And it was illegal to do that 70 00:05:16,460 --> 00:05:20,660 So he had to do it like at nighttime in the dark and kind of sneak around 71 00:05:21,940 --> 00:05:25,820 And then he studied and he became the most masterful 72 00:05:25,820 --> 00:05:35,940 Anatomist or he became the most masterful at anatomy and that allowed him to create the sculpture called the Hercules and then eventually 73 00:05:37,580 --> 00:05:39,580 Like the Hercules 74 00:05:39,660 --> 00:05:46,940 was his first 10x jump and then he created another sculpture called the David and that was 75 00:05:47,860 --> 00:05:51,620 Even more incredible than the Hercules and that was his next 10x jump and 76 00:05:51,620 --> 00:05:58,860 And the David was like world famous. It was absolutely an astonishing sculpture 77 00:06:00,460 --> 00:06:03,780 Versus the still good Hercules, but 78 00:06:04,940 --> 00:06:07,500 What dr. Hardy says it's kind of like 79 00:06:08,340 --> 00:06:12,580 Comparing fast food to fine dining. You can't really compare it 80 00:06:13,700 --> 00:06:18,740 But that's pretty much the 10x and so let's go back to the gap in the game 81 00:06:18,740 --> 00:06:26,140 The gap is what most people's default mode is and then the gain is 82 00:06:26,820 --> 00:06:28,420 What is better? 83 00:06:28,420 --> 00:06:29,420 so 84 00:06:29,420 --> 00:06:35,020 When you're doing the 10x process when you're going 10x and you're operating in the gap 85 00:06:35,500 --> 00:06:38,700 You're still you still may make some progress 86 00:06:38,940 --> 00:06:44,120 But it's gonna be miserable like life is gonna be miserable and you're not really gonna 87 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:49,720 experience that much joy out of it and then eventually you'll kind of burn out 88 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,440 So you won't be able to make that much progress for very long 89 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,040 now the gain is all about 90 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:05,320 Being looking back at your past self and looking at all the progress that you made all the achievements that you've made and 91 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,560 the progress that you've made 92 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:16,040 Within the past day past month past week past month past year past decade like look back at all the 93 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:25,200 progress that you made in the past up until this point so look back at everything that all the wins and even all the failures and 94 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:29,600 Still interpret them as good because you learned something out of them when you're operating in the game 95 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,400 You're basically it's basically following coordinating intention 96 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:40,440 Except it's more of a hindsight thing is what I've come to understand so far 97 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,000 So coordinating intention is a trans surfing principle and 98 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,160 in trans surfing I 99 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:55,600 Learned about it in Rowdy trans serving by Vadim Zellin and coordinating intention is basically 100 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,240 interpreting everything 101 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:03,920 Every event that happens as positive as good now 102 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,120 This is actually 103 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,920 Because whenever you experience an event you're at a crossroads 104 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:16,360 So you're at a road when you're experiencing the event you're at a road and there's two options 105 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,200 you can either go left or you can go right and 106 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:25,800 depending on which way you choose it'll have a positive outcome or a negative outcome and 107 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,800 and 108 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,280 This is with any event in life 109 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:35,960 So literally anything when you stub your toe when you pass your test 110 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,280 when you 111 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,280 receive a check in the mail 112 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,120 literally any possible experience in life 113 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,000 your at a crossroads and 114 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,800 The way you choose the outcome is 115 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:55,560 By your attitude towards that so your relationship to that problem 116 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,320 so if you choose to express 117 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,200 satisfaction or joy and 118 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,640 Happiness then you'll take that positive route 119 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,320 Whereas if you express 120 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,840 dissatisfaction inks 121 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,240 disc discomfort 122 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,280 on ease like anger 123 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,320 At all that all the negative emotions 124 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,840 Then you'll take that negative route and then life will go down from there 125 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,800 And then you'll get another negative event and another and another 126 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:35,400 And that's pretty much what coordinating intention is it's to perceive all things that happen as good and 127 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:43,280 perceive everything that happens to you is it happens for you like everything happens for you in 128 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,280 the 129 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,760 It happens for you in your 130 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,760 Progress towards your goals.

We've just followed the 10x process 192 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:39,920 so 193 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,920 I'm talking about 194 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:51,240 When you go 10x when you follow the 10x process you want to be operating in the gain and with the gain like I said is 195 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:53,600 essentially 196 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,160 coordinating intention 197 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,160 perceiving everything is positive except 198 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:03,680 Transurfing's coordinating intention is more like current so if I were to stub my toe right now 199 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:12,520 And I followed the coordinating intention principle then I would be happy about it. I would like rejoice I would be joyful 200 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,440 but 201 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,080 What you're what the 202 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:24,040 Gain is all about is kind of in hindsight. It's not really about present 203 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:29,160 It's kind of in hindsight. So whenever you look back at the progress that you made 204 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,440 So let's let's just use me as an example 205 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,720 today is October 5th when I'm recording this and 206 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:46,600 Excuse me today's October 5th and I started reading books 207 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:52,320 About a year and a month ago. So about 13 months ago and 208 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,000 the books that I was reading were 209 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,640 When I first started I 210 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,400 Didn't really know anything about 211 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,200 health diet 212 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:10,520 Fitness I had just I learned I knew a little bit about fitness, but I 213 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,320 didn't know about 214 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,800 Anything about worldview or mindset and 215 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,000 I didn't really have that clear of a mind. I was still on 216 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,200 Tic-Tac, I don't know if I was on Tic-Tac. I was definitely on YouTube. I 217 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,800 Still on YouTube. I was still playing video games 218 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,320 Just still doing a lot of the 219 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:39,800 Bad habits and so if I were to look at if I were to be in the game right now 220 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:44,400 Then I would look back and I'd see wow. I made so much progress 221 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,400 Not even a year ago. I was still playing video games 222 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,880 not even a year ago, I 223 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:56,040 Wasn't even taking cold showers not even a year ago. I didn't know anything about worldview 224 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,800 not even a year ago I 225 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,800 like literally less than 226 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,760 Three months less than three months ago. I had never 227 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:11,960 Recorded a single episode on a podcast. I didn't record a single podcast episode 228 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:18,800 Actually, maybe maybe three months ago was my first episode. I'm not sure. I'm not quite sure 229 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:25,720 Let's just say four months ago four months ago. I was I was just learning about business was just 230 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:31,240 Picking up my first books on business my first book that I read about business was 231 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,000 dot com secrets and 232 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:39,520 That is absolutely insane for me to think because I've learned so much on business 233 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,080 I've come so such a long way now 234 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:48,280 My goal or kind of like what I was striving for over summer 235 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:52,080 I was trying to move out before school started 236 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,280 That was my goal. I was trying to move out in like one or two months 237 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:04,000 now that didn't happen and spoil alert I'm two months into school and I'm still not moved out but 238 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:10,360 Doesn't matter because I came so far already I progressed so far and that's all about the gain 239 00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:14,200 if I were in the gap then I would be mad because I didn't 240 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,560 Move out when I wanted to I haven't moved out yet. I'd be mad. I'd be 241 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,320 disappointed and I wouldn't see the joy or the I 242 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,920 Wouldn't see the actual improvement that I've made in 243 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,200 my current life 244 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,760 So that's pretty much what the gap in the gain are so 245 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:37,000 Let's go back. Are you in the gap or are you in the game? 246 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:46,040 So most like I said that most people's default mode is the gap and you want to be in the game 247 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:52,680 And so this is kind of what I think that I've been in the game a little bit because I 248 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:58,200 tend to always like look back at my progress and look be super excited and 249 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:05,640 And like I said about how it wasn't moving out how it didn't move out yet. I wasn't too like disappointed about that 250 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:12,320 I wasn't like pissed or anything. I just kind of realized that I made a lot of progress and kept on moving forward and 251 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,880 I have a feeling that there's gonna be a lot more progress to come because 252 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,280 Once I'm done with 10x is easier than 2x 253 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:31,520 I'm gonna be reading my first book about how to be an influencer or how to be like a social media 254 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,200 content creator and 255 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:40,280 I've this is episode 78. I think 256 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:43,600 So 257 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:50,160 episode 78 and I've never really read anything about how to podcast because last night I literally 258 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,520 Sometimes when I'm falling asleep, I 259 00:19:54,320 --> 00:20:00,880 Kind of get this message in my head like I remember one time I got this message to 260 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,520 I don't remember I 261 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,440 Don't know but sometimes I just get simple messages 262 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:12,240 So last night I got when I was starting to fall asleep and it was I was like in my bed laying down 263 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:19,120 Had already down. I'm starting to fall asleep. I got this message in my head and it was like how to become a better podcaster and 264 00:20:19,120 --> 00:20:26,120 So I was like, oh wow, that's important because I never looked that up and I'm a I'm 77 episodes in I've 265 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,920 practiced a lot. I've 266 00:20:29,120 --> 00:20:31,120 Proved that I'm in it for the long game 267 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:36,120 Or actually, I don't know if I've proved it yet, but I've proved that I can stay consistent 268 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,880 I'm already in the top 1% of 269 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:44,280 Videos posted I'm already like doing all this but I 270 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:49,920 Haven't had any results like I still have six or seven subscribers 271 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:54,240 I I have like less than a thousand downloads and 272 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,000 Like all-time downloads 273 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,320 So I don't I'm not having that much results. So 274 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:06,680 But it makes sense because I have heard that the results don't come right away 275 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,040 and that's obviously why I'm in it for the long game, but I 276 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,240 I 277 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:18,360 I'm pretty much plateaued like my my graph is pretty much the same as it was when I first started 278 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,880 like first month or first week so 279 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:29,960 Kind of plateaued, but that's why I think it's important to be a better podcaster because another thing is a 280 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,120 huge part of the 10x process is 281 00:21:33,120 --> 00:21:39,080 Operating on quality over quantity and right now for like I became conscious of this 282 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:47,160 Since I started reading the 10x is easier than 2x. I became conscious that I've been operating on quantity 283 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,400 Which is 2x? 284 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,400 I've just been kind of 285 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,600 Wrapping out all of the episodes kind of just sending them out there. No 286 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:58,360 like 287 00:21:58,360 --> 00:22:00,360 No real editing 288 00:22:00,360 --> 00:22:05,320 No preparation. I kind of just come downstairs sit down hit record and start talking 289 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:11,680 Now yes, I have made a few tweaks and improvements like I got rid of my intro and 290 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,120 I 291 00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:17,720 What else did I do? I started every episode with a hook 292 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:25,720 Like but that's like slight things. I haven't really improved the quality too much of my episodes 293 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,200 And so that's that's why I wrote down yesterday 294 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,840 I focused on quality over quantity because 295 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,800 There mr. Beast 296 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:43,120 Focused all on quality like he didn't post daily or at least I don't think now he 297 00:22:43,360 --> 00:22:48,160 Maybe he didn't when he first started but right now. He's not posting daily. I haven't checked his 298 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:54,760 I used to watch him like when I was watching YouTube a long time ago probably like a year ago 299 00:22:54,760 --> 00:23:01,720 But I haven't checked his channel and like prior year, but I remember that he was not posting daily 300 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:07,080 He'd probably post like once a week. Maybe once a month. I don't know and I remember hearing one of his things 301 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:12,680 And this was before I knew about 10x or anything like much self-improvement 302 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:19,720 I remember hearing him say like I spent like millions or thousands of dollars on this one episode 303 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,380 or this one video and 304 00:23:22,380 --> 00:23:27,060 I decided to scrap the whole thing and just delete it 305 00:23:28,100 --> 00:23:31,100 And I was thinking like that is crazy. He didn't even post 306 00:23:32,500 --> 00:23:34,500 episode that he like 307 00:23:34,620 --> 00:23:40,060 Spent a lot of money on he didn't even post it and now looking back at it on hindsight 308 00:23:40,060 --> 00:23:44,780 It's because he focused he hyper focused on quality over con over 309 00:23:45,260 --> 00:23:50,620 Quantity like he could have simply added another episode to his channel by posting that 310 00:23:50,620 --> 00:23:54,940 But it may not have been up to his standards for quality 311 00:23:55,940 --> 00:24:01,080 And so he scrapped it and knew that quality is way more important than quantity 312 00:24:02,660 --> 00:24:10,180 Which brings me back to my podcast I've been recording an hour every single day for the past 70 days 313 00:24:12,940 --> 00:24:16,700 Less than that, but I've been recording our episodes 314 00:24:16,700 --> 00:24:20,820 for months now and 315 00:24:23,380 --> 00:24:30,340 That's quantity. I haven't focused on quality at all like I said the only thing I did was cut out the intro 316 00:24:31,100 --> 00:24:33,100 That's nothing 317 00:24:33,900 --> 00:24:36,500 So and I to be honest 318 00:24:36,500 --> 00:24:41,900 I forgot to look it up because it was last night when I said it and I wanted to get my podcast 319 00:24:42,540 --> 00:24:43,980 finished 320 00:24:43,980 --> 00:24:45,980 finished recording soon 321 00:24:45,980 --> 00:24:47,700 because 322 00:24:47,700 --> 00:24:52,420 I'm back on my sleep routine. So I want to talk about this this kind of a 323 00:24:53,300 --> 00:24:55,300 this kind of a complete 324 00:24:55,700 --> 00:24:57,700 topic switch but 325 00:24:58,140 --> 00:25:03,100 Last okay, so probably like a week before I left for fun lacking life 326 00:25:03,100 --> 00:25:07,740 I was going to bed at six o'clock six thirty every single day and 327 00:25:08,580 --> 00:25:14,460 I was consistent every single day I go to bed at that time. I would never stay up late and 328 00:25:14,460 --> 00:25:18,720 Then and I would also like cut out all my screens 329 00:25:19,220 --> 00:25:24,100 everything probably like an hour before I even went to bed or even an hour and a half like a 330 00:25:25,100 --> 00:25:27,740 decent amount of time before I even went to bed 331 00:25:29,020 --> 00:25:31,260 Maybe even two hours. I'm not sure but 332 00:25:31,860 --> 00:25:38,540 Pretty much I would do that and then I would every single night. I'd have the same exact experience 333 00:25:38,540 --> 00:25:46,420 I would go to bed at six or six thirty and I'd wake up at nine forty five the same exact time every single day 334 00:25:46,420 --> 00:25:47,900 I'd wake up 335 00:25:47,900 --> 00:25:49,900 Go to the bathroom 336 00:25:49,940 --> 00:25:55,260 Look at the clock and it was nine forty five on the dot every single day and then I'd go to bed and 337 00:25:56,180 --> 00:26:02,140 That would have a night after night after night because I was consistent with going to bed at the same time waking up at the same time 338 00:26:03,820 --> 00:26:07,740 945 exactly to go to the bathroom and then 339 00:26:07,740 --> 00:26:10,380 I would always like wake up 340 00:26:11,100 --> 00:26:13,300 Rape like ten minutes before my alarm 341 00:26:13,660 --> 00:26:20,100 Which is perfect because then I could start my nighttime or my morning routine a little bit early and get a little bit more reading time 342 00:26:20,100 --> 00:26:22,100 and 343 00:26:22,300 --> 00:26:23,940 Then 344 00:26:23,940 --> 00:26:27,900 Like probably a week leading up to fun and hacking live. I started 345 00:26:28,500 --> 00:26:32,860 kind of spending a lot more time in the basement or kind of getting to 346 00:26:33,500 --> 00:26:35,500 the basement later and 347 00:26:35,500 --> 00:26:43,380 So I as a result I ended up not even leaving the basement until like 545 usually 348 00:26:43,380 --> 00:26:46,540 I would leave at like 445 at the latest and 349 00:26:47,380 --> 00:26:52,340 Then I lately I've been like or a week before fun and hacking live 350 00:26:52,340 --> 00:26:57,980 I which was like two weeks ago. I would start going up at 545 6 351 00:26:58,700 --> 00:27:00,300 around there 352 00:27:00,300 --> 00:27:07,180 So as a result I didn't go to bed until like 7 and I only had one hour of off of screens 353 00:27:08,140 --> 00:27:11,620 So that's bad because and as a result I 354 00:27:12,460 --> 00:27:17,220 Didn't go to I didn't wake up at the same time. I woke up at like two instead 355 00:27:18,540 --> 00:27:20,540 Which was way closer to 356 00:27:20,540 --> 00:27:29,420 My waking times was harder to get to bed again, which I was always able to get to bed again, but it would mess up my 357 00:27:30,660 --> 00:27:37,620 waking which as a result I would not wake up 10 minutes before I would wake up like right on the dot when my alarm goes off and 358 00:27:39,060 --> 00:27:45,700 Then as a result I was more tired throughout the day and this actually impacted a lot one 359 00:27:45,700 --> 00:27:51,340 There's two methods that I are two markers that I use to measure how 360 00:27:52,220 --> 00:27:55,100 high quality or how much I'm sleeping and 361 00:27:56,140 --> 00:28:03,580 The first one is by my reading how focused I am while I'm reading. So during this time when I was going about at 7 I 362 00:28:05,900 --> 00:28:09,780 My focus for my reading was scattered. I had to reread a lot 363 00:28:09,780 --> 00:28:14,540 I had to reread the sentence. I just read multiple times and it was slow as 364 00:28:14,540 --> 00:28:17,260 As a result I didn't learn as much and 365 00:28:18,500 --> 00:28:23,060 Then the second method that I used to measure my 366 00:28:24,860 --> 00:28:28,900 How long I slept and how high quality it was is 367 00:28:29,860 --> 00:28:31,740 my meditation 368 00:28:31,740 --> 00:28:35,700 How focused I am during my meditation and during this time 369 00:28:36,820 --> 00:28:42,500 My meditation was not to focus. I would click out or I would literally fall asleep the entire time 370 00:28:42,500 --> 00:28:50,380 So it's basically a nap and so it's kind of a waste of not a waste of time because a nap is better than nothing 371 00:28:50,380 --> 00:28:52,380 But it was I wasn't really 372 00:28:53,220 --> 00:28:55,220 progressing that far in my meditations 373 00:28:55,820 --> 00:28:56,820 and 374 00:28:56,820 --> 00:29:01,580 Then during fun lacking live that week. I we were going to bed really late like 375 00:29:01,980 --> 00:29:07,620 12 o'clock one night. I'm pretty sure we were like I didn't hit the pillow until like 376 00:29:07,620 --> 00:29:13,460 12 10 or something like that like really late as the latest I'd stayed up all year 377 00:29:14,460 --> 00:29:16,460 so 378 00:29:16,860 --> 00:29:22,460 As a result I was literally falling asleep during the entire meditation not good and 379 00:29:23,300 --> 00:29:25,300 My focus was not as good and 380 00:29:25,900 --> 00:29:33,740 Then when I came home from like the night that I I went to bed when I was home. I went to bed at like eight 381 00:29:33,740 --> 00:29:37,460 so then I woke up at four and 382 00:29:37,980 --> 00:29:42,740 I was getting back to my normal routine, but I was still falling asleep. That was Monday 383 00:29:43,420 --> 00:29:45,420 Falling asleep during all of my 384 00:29:45,700 --> 00:29:46,780 meditations 385 00:29:46,780 --> 00:29:50,780 Not really focusing that much in my reading and then on Tuesday 386 00:29:52,180 --> 00:29:54,900 Same thing fell asleep at seven and 387 00:29:55,700 --> 00:30:01,700 Then I realized that I needed to fix this so Wednesday. I fell asleep at 6 30 last night 388 00:30:01,700 --> 00:30:05,780 I was in bed at 6 10 6 15 389 00:30:06,300 --> 00:30:11,900 so that's huge and I'm still I'd still kind of fell asleep during these 390 00:30:13,140 --> 00:30:19,420 Meditations, but I'm catching up. I think that I'm catching up on my sleep because it takes a little bit of time to catch up and 391 00:30:19,740 --> 00:30:21,740 then I'll be able to 392 00:30:24,500 --> 00:30:26,700 Get back to my meditations pretty much 393 00:30:26,700 --> 00:30:33,260 I'm still meditating three times a day, but I'm not focused and I'm basically like falling asleep during it 394 00:30:33,900 --> 00:30:35,900 So it's not very effective 395 00:30:36,380 --> 00:30:38,380 But that's pretty much 396 00:30:38,700 --> 00:30:43,620 Why sleep is extremely important and I don't remember what I was gonna tie this back to 397 00:30:46,020 --> 00:30:49,580 10x I was talking about the 10x and I was saying that 398 00:30:49,580 --> 00:30:51,580 I 399 00:30:54,980 --> 00:30:59,660 Don't even know but pretty much this is why your nighttime routine is so essential because 400 00:31:00,820 --> 00:31:03,140 That's why I'm getting that's why 401 00:31:04,340 --> 00:31:08,780 I'm I didn't look up how to pop how to be a better 402 00:31:09,020 --> 00:31:12,220 Pockaster that's why I didn't look it up yet because I'm gonna look it up after 403 00:31:12,220 --> 00:31:20,380 While I'm editing the podcast like because I have to sit here for like 30 minutes to wait for it to 404 00:31:20,460 --> 00:31:22,460 Upload and edit and all that stuff 405 00:31:23,220 --> 00:31:26,740 So that that's what I'm gonna be looking up how to podcast better 406 00:31:27,540 --> 00:31:35,060 Because that's extremely important how to podcast better and then also I'm gonna be learning how to be a better content creator and influencer 407 00:31:36,020 --> 00:31:41,380 In once I'm done with 10x decision 2x, which I'm over halfway done with this book so far 408 00:31:41,380 --> 00:31:48,100 I'll probably be done within the week. So Sunday. I'll be done by and I'll work on the 409 00:31:49,460 --> 00:31:53,220 Content or it's called create create. Don't 410 00:31:53,860 --> 00:31:55,060 or 411 00:31:55,060 --> 00:31:57,060 Create don't capture 412 00:31:57,060 --> 00:31:58,020 and 413 00:31:58,020 --> 00:32:03,380 That will that book is only like 150 pages long and it's small small. It's a small book 414 00:32:03,380 --> 00:32:06,180 So I'll probably finish that in one or two days 415 00:32:06,180 --> 00:32:12,180 So and then on Monday is when to FD the priestess comes 416 00:32:12,660 --> 00:32:19,460 So I'm gonna get I'm gonna be getting back into the Transurfing mindset because when I read Transurfing the first time I 417 00:32:20,860 --> 00:32:25,060 Didn't really do much to retain the information in my head. So literally like 418 00:32:25,540 --> 00:32:32,820 Took me prior a day or a week for me to just completely get off the wavelength of Transurfing now 419 00:32:32,820 --> 00:32:39,140 Today I am doing different because I stopped reading Transurfing the second time through 420 00:32:40,620 --> 00:32:44,420 Because the first time through after I finished I kind of forgot like pretty much everything 421 00:32:44,660 --> 00:32:50,460 Which was evident because I was reading in the second time through and it was basically like I was reading it for the first time ever because I 422 00:32:50,460 --> 00:32:54,060 Was relearning all this stuff which I didn't remember learning in the first place 423 00:32:54,060 --> 00:33:01,900 But I'm doing it different because I read it probably like a week ago and then for the I 424 00:33:02,820 --> 00:33:05,780 Am working on the Transurfing review and 425 00:33:06,700 --> 00:33:12,980 What that is is on my channel. There is Transurfing principles episodes 1 through 8 426 00:33:13,980 --> 00:33:20,800 So throughout my channel like throughout my channel history. I've posted episodes called Transurfing principles 427 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,120 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 and 428 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:32,320 That's basically me like reviewing what I learned and recapping what I learned in that section of the book usually like one or two weeks of 429 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:33,880 studying 430 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:41,040 Like the past one or two weeks of studying I would recap in an episode and I'm due for episode 9 soon 431 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:48,160 And that's pretty much what I'm doing to retain all this information in my head at nighttime during my journaling while I see my balls and 432 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:53,080 I'm done journaling and I still have like minutes left on my icing session. I 433 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,600 go through my 434 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:04,360 Transurfing journal and I write out the review so I'm basically rewriting a bunch of this stuff 435 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,720 So I'm I'm still trying to retain all this information 436 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,480 plus 437 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:14,400 The first time I read it. I didn't really read anything related to Transurfing 438 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:21,200 Right after or at least like a month or two after took me like a month or two to go back to Transurfing 439 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,200 So I forgot pretty much everything and 440 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:29,240 so instead what I'm doing is I'm retaining through the review plus I am 441 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:34,320 Going to be reading Toofty the priestess which is all about Transurfing as well 442 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:42,720 It's basically another it's it's another book that that I'm zone wrote about Transurfing except I'm pretty sure the point of it is it 443 00:34:42,720 --> 00:34:44,320 I 444 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:48,980 Actually don't really know pretty much all I know is that it's about a 445 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:54,560 Priestess like a fictional character. He made up or maybe not fictional. I'm not sure a 446 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,680 character that 447 00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,320 basically tells you 448 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,480 What to do in Transurfing or something like that? 449 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,280 so that's pretty much what I'm 450 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,680 Gonna be getting back into the Transurfing mindset 451 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:15,600 But that's gonna be one of the seven books I'm reading and that book doesn't train. Uh, Toofty doesn't come until Monday and today is 452 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:22,440 Thursday today's Thursday, so I've got Friday Saturday Sunday Monday 453 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:28,920 I got four days to finish 10x's easier than 2x and create don't capture 454 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,560 But if I don't finish them no big deal 455 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:35,560 I'll just extend it and not worry about Toofty in a little bit and 456 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:40,280 And Toofty is one of seven books. I'm gonna be reading and I have all the books 457 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,680 Dancing after the music stops die wise come of age 458 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,440 a sent on humanity 459 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:52,120 Journey out of bodies Toofty and the Egypt Egypt code 460 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:57,120 So those are all the seven books. I'm gonna be reading next and if you guys haven't heard 461 00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,360 I'm using the reading method where you read all seven at once 462 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:06,680 So basically you pick up one read instantly lose focus and then switch to the next reading to lose focus and then repeat 463 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:14,080 interspersed with push-ups every once while and that is a reading method that Jean Pascal Reiman, I think is his name 464 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,120 He the author of the Dancing After the music stops 465 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:18,440 He basically 466 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:22,560 recommended using that reading method and you'll be able to read a book a day 467 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:28,040 So I don't know I'm barely able to read a book a week. So if I can read a 468 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:32,640 book quicker than a week using this reading method because I assume 469 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:37,600 Reading a book a day with that method you have to be reading like a lot of hours 470 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:43,040 But I'm only gonna be reading like one hour every day. So if I can read it quicker than a book a week 471 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:49,200 Then it'll definitely be worth it. And if I can retain it, then it'll definitely be worth it 472 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,240 If I can't retain it, I'm not gonna do it anymore 473 00:36:52,240 --> 00:36:58,440 But if I can retain it and I can read it quicker, then I'm a hundred percent gonna be doing it 474 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:05,680 That's why I'm practicing on these books because I don't want to practice on a business book and not retain it 475 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:11,160 But that's pretty much where I'm at with the next stage 476 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:19,160 Let me get some water 477 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,440 And 478 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,840 So going back to the 10x process 479 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:41,280 Focusing on quality over quantity. I'm not really sure 480 00:37:42,240 --> 00:37:44,240 kind of what to do because 481 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,320 Obviously right now I'm focusing on quantity 482 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,800 But I want to maintain this level of quantity 483 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,760 But I also want to improve my quality 484 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:58,880 So let me explain 485 00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:03,040 the whole like kind of the reason why I'm 486 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:08,960 podcasting like the original reason why I started podcasting was because in 487 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,800 Expert secrets Russell Brunson said 488 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:20,720 If you post on your show every single day for an entire year 489 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,440 You'll never have to worry about money again 490 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,040 So if you post 491 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:31,080 365 episodes on your podcast within a year like in a year 492 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,080 Every single day daily uploads 493 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:40,000 Then you'll never have to worry about money again. So pretty much I want to prove that as fact 494 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,560 That's pretty much why I started the podcast 495 00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:54,360 However, I'm doing one hour a day which I'm not sure if he intended on long-form videos every single day like an hour a day like I'm doing 496 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,200 Maybe he intended like 10 minutes a day 497 00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:03,160 But I'm doing an hour a day and so far it's working out fine like I have an hour every day 498 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:08,000 I have the exact time that I need to record and edit and post 499 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,200 But 500 00:39:12,240 --> 00:39:18,000 One hour every day is a lot of quantity a lot of quantity 501 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,200 and so I 502 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:28,920 Need to be focusing on quality because the only thing that I'm focusing on quality is pure reps like 503 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:38,280 Just getting the reps in and always improving just by pure practice 504 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:46,800 So that's why I need to focus on quality and I don't even know where to go. Oh, excuse me. I gotta get some water. I got hiccups. I 505 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,480 Don't even know where to start 506 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,280 That's just I'm just gonna look up 507 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:11,640 How to be a better podcaster I'm simply you're just gonna start with that simple Google search and then 508 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:15,360 See where it takes me and I'll start implementing in tomorrow's episode 509 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:21,160 Which is also I'm excited to read the book create don't capture 510 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:26,560 Because I'm pretty sure it's gonna talk about how to be better influencer because with that said I 511 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,280 also ever since 512 00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,560 Funal lacking life on the first day 513 00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:33,360 they 514 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,160 talked about 515 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:39,760 They talked all about shorts and like posting daily on tiktok and 516 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,680 posting short form videos 517 00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:49,720 So I started doing that because I originally started doing I didn't post ever but I started recording shorts 518 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,600 Probably like the first six episodes of me podcasting 519 00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:57,760 But I realized that it was too much for me to handle at the time because I didn't have a positive feedback loop on 520 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:00,640 podcast yet 521 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:06,360 But during final hacking live now that I have a positive feedback loop on podcasting I'm 522 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:13,480 Doing three shorts every day. So I'm posting three tiktoks and three YouTube shorts every single day and 523 00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,200 The first and I scheduled them for the future 524 00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,920 so they match up with my 525 00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:28,600 Current episode release like the podcast because I do three daily lessons in every single podcast 526 00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,600 today's three daily lessons are 527 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,360 the gain versus 528 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:37,560 the gap the gap versus the gain and then it's also 529 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,160 What else was there? 530 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,440 focus on quality over quantity and 531 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,960 Sleep is extremely important, but I'm pretty sure there's another one 532 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:53,880 So those the actual lessons that I write down may be different because I also have 19 minutes left to talk 533 00:41:53,880 --> 00:42:00,920 But that's that's right now. I'm posting three every three tiktoks every single day and I 534 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:04,440 Started that I 535 00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:08,160 Started recording them at fun lacking live. So probably like a week ago 536 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,080 Less than a week ago actually 537 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:13,800 No 538 00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,040 More than a week ago. I 539 00:42:16,720 --> 00:42:18,720 Don't even know I forgot I 540 00:42:18,720 --> 00:42:25,000 I started recording them a little over a week ago and the first ones published 541 00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:34,360 Yesterday I want to say and so the first two because yesterday is when I checked them after after yesterday's episode 542 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:40,480 I checked the two that published yesterday. I post three times a day one at six in the morning one at 543 00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:42,840 12 544 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:44,200 in 545 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:45,440 afternoon 546 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,840 I'm the one at six in the afternoon but 547 00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:54,680 The time zones kind of messed up because I scheduled the first ones in 548 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,360 Florida so that's like one our head 549 00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:03,920 So the first couple ones are at like five instead of 12 or instead of six, but it doesn't really matter 550 00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:06,200 I'm gonna go back to six and 551 00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:09,960 The first two 552 00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,560 shorts 553 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:19,880 Or tiktoks, I don't know but the first two got 50 views each around there around 50 views each and one of them 554 00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:23,520 Got two likes so that's awesome. That's already more 555 00:43:24,240 --> 00:43:26,840 Views than I got like in the past 556 00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:29,840 probably 20 557 00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,160 Now past like 10 558 00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:38,360 Podcasts that I've recorded so and the reason why I'm doing this is to get more 559 00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:43,880 Viewers more organic traffic onto my podcast like that's the whole point of doing tiktoks 560 00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,400 Plus it's another 561 00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:52,560 Extremely good method to find my voice and become a more effective and efficient speaker 562 00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:58,400 because one of the extremely great benefits of podcasting that I still 563 00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:04,360 Think is the most valuable piece to becoming a podcaster is 564 00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:07,960 Is you be you improve your speaking so much? 565 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:13,200 Like when I first started my speaking was terrible and I remember saying 566 00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:15,160 that I 567 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,400 remember I don't I'm not sure if I said it in the first episodes when I was 568 00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:26,680 Posting them but definitely in the episodes that I had no intention on posting like I recorded 14 episodes that I had no intention on posting 569 00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:33,000 on voice memos app on my phone and I remember saying like yeah, I suck at 570 00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:38,440 Podcasting I suck at speaking but I'm gonna keep it up because this is an extremely valuable 571 00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:45,320 Like practice. This is extremely valuable practice for me to get better at speaking and I'm glad I did because 572 00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:47,960 Now I don't suck so much at speaking 573 00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,920 I still have a long way to go to where I want to be 574 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:59,480 but I'm so much better off than where I was before especially like in school and like in public social situations 575 00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:05,440 I'm so much more clear at my speaking and I'm able to kind of talk 576 00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:10,280 From like the flow or kind of like talk from nothing 577 00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:12,960 because I remember when I used to 578 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,440 Raise my hand to speak in class 579 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:21,160 I used to have to like pretty much quickly memorize what I was gonna say or kind of come up with 580 00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:27,800 With how I was gonna say beforehand, but now I can like get cold-called and literally just say just start talking 581 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:33,960 So that's a huge benefit to podcasting which I think is way more valuable than the monetary gain 582 00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,520 And I haven't even gotten a monetary gain yet 583 00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:41,720 Which I'm sure my opinions will change once I get the monetary gain, but 584 00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:49,280 That's and that's he also talked about that last night. I was so excited to start the crate on capture 585 00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,720 I was right before I like 586 00:45:51,720 --> 00:46:00,760 Started my meditation and I was putting away my ice pack and been away my journal. I read like the 587 00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:02,760 back 588 00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:06,960 Summary and I read like one of the first one of the chapters and 589 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:11,160 One of the chapters in that book is finding your voice and I read like a part of it 590 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:15,600 and he said the most beneficial or the most impactful the 591 00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:23,400 Best part to being a content creator is finding your voice your purpose and your passion and your calling 592 00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,400 Like that's the best part finding your voice 593 00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,800 Which I'm I think I found my voice and 594 00:46:32,240 --> 00:46:34,240 I'm still getting better and better every day 595 00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:39,360 And that's I definitely agree like so far. That's the best part now 596 00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:42,240 I haven't gotten any of the monetary gain yet, so I can't really speak 597 00:46:42,240 --> 00:46:46,480 But the best part that I've gotten so far is finding my voice 598 00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:49,440 Again, I think I found my voice 599 00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:53,840 But maybe in the future once I get more better at this once I'm on like episode 200 600 00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:57,400 Maybe I'll look back and be like yeah, you did not find your voice. I don't know 601 00:46:58,240 --> 00:47:00,800 That's something that only Tom will tell 602 00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:04,640 But I'm really looking forward to 603 00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:08,080 But I want to I wanted I want to point that out 604 00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:15,800 We're just talking about the gap in the game and I went off again about talking about my past and how much I've improved 605 00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:22,440 Yeah, I'm still realizing that I've got a long way to go and I'm still realizing that I 606 00:47:23,240 --> 00:47:25,240 Have a lot of improvement to make 607 00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:27,360 That is the game 608 00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:31,640 That's what the game is all about looking at your past and seeing all the progress they made 609 00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:39,560 Like I was just reminiscing on the episodes that I didn't even publish. I didn't even publish them and 610 00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:48,800 Like they were recorded 80 days ago more than 80 days ago and I'm reminiscing on how much I've improved 611 00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:52,280 Like that's the game. That's the mindset you need to have 612 00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:57,040 Which I think is completely different to what I interpreted from 613 00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:01,440 Dr. Hardy's speech he spoke at funnel hacking live and 614 00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:05,800 He spoke at funnel hacking live and 615 00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,120 He was talking about 616 00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,800 Most people create their present based off the past 617 00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:17,600 But what you should do is create your present based off the future and I interpreted that as 618 00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,200 You shouldn't look at your past 619 00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:24,120 and interpret your past at all like you shouldn't 620 00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:29,320 Think fondly or negatively of your past at all and I remember walking 621 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:36,120 With my friend talking after that and I was and we were both talking about the past and I was like 622 00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:37,520 I don't even know if I 623 00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:42,760 like destroyed the I don't even know if I broke that law or broke that 624 00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:47,840 The 10x rule or the 10x process. I don't even know if that was like 625 00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:51,560 Destructive I don't even know if that was destructive 626 00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:58,920 And neither did he because neither of us read the book yet, but now I'm realizing that that was actually beneficial 627 00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:03,040 That's the game you should be looking at how far you've come and 628 00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:09,120 Realizing that that was good like you've actually come a long way 629 00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:16,920 So I'm really I'm excited about the future and this is what you guys got to get to you guys got to get to the point 630 00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:19,000 To where you're excited for the future 631 00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:23,320 You're looking forward to all the future progress and the future improvements that you've made 632 00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:30,080 So I want to talk about do it now 633 00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,040 back when I 634 00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:36,520 Read or back when I was getting into business.

He talks about making systems 667 00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:26,920 So I make a lot of systems in my day to make things easy 668 00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:29,080 Like I do the same thing every single day 669 00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:34,200 And I make sure that those things that I'm doing every day are helping me move towards my goals 670 00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:36,200 Helping me improve a lot 671 00:52:36,720 --> 00:52:39,020 like I meditate I read I 672 00:52:40,240 --> 00:52:42,240 Work out I 673 00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:47,200 Podcasts like I do every every single thing that I do I do every day and 674 00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:53,040 When I podcast when I started when I read that 675 00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:58,720 Excerpt from expert secrets of if you post on your show every single day 676 00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:01,400 for an entire year 677 00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:06,000 You'll never have to worry about money again. I wanted to do that, but I was I 678 00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:14,080 Was paralyzed in inaction because I was so scared I was so nervous and 679 00:53:14,720 --> 00:53:20,000 So I knew that I just needed to start. I just needed to start doesn't matter if I I 680 00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:23,520 Just needed to build the habit of 681 00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:28,000 Doing it every single day. So what I did was I 682 00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,000 I 683 00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:32,560 Didn't want to post it because I was too scared to post 684 00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:36,440 So I got on my voicemail zap and every single day 685 00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:41,280 I just hit record and talked for like five ten minutes and then ended it 686 00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:48,000 I did that for 14 days and I was like, okay. I built up my confidence. I need to and it's now or never 687 00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:49,600 I need to 688 00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:53,960 Start posting start recording for real so that I made my channel 689 00:53:53,960 --> 00:54:00,040 And then the next day on day 15. I recorded the trailer 690 00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:05,800 The second trailer actually recorded because the first trailer I recorded was on the voice memos app 691 00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:11,120 but the second trailer I recorded and the one that was published is on 692 00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:17,400 My channel and that's because I on the fifth on the 15th day 693 00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:21,320 I was just like, okay. I just need to move to the next step 694 00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:26,080 I've done 14 days of this now. It's time to now. It's time to move on now 695 00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:29,000 It's time to actually be serious about this and start 696 00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:31,760 so I started and 697 00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:36,880 Then I also wanted to make make it easier. I wanted to make it easy as well 698 00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:41,760 So what I did was I wanted to schedule the videos for five days in advance 699 00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:44,800 Or at least I didn't know how 700 00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:53,640 There is two reasons why I scheduled videos so when I recorded that trailer I 701 00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:57,760 Scheduled it 702 00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:03,120 For the next Monday which happened to be five days in advance five days in the future 703 00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:09,000 And I did this for two reasons one I was too scared to post it right away 704 00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:15,880 I wanted I wanted to just kind of schedule it and then let it go like leave it and not have to worry about it 705 00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:17,920 posting 706 00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:22,640 Under my knowledge. I just had to set it in motion and not have it like 707 00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:25,560 Instantly materialize 708 00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:32,040 Because I was too scared like I said, so that's one way I made it easy on me by having it have a future problem 709 00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:34,040 And then in the future, I just will let it happen 710 00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:37,040 and 711 00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:38,880 then I 712 00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:44,360 Another reason why is because I wanted to have a cushion just in case I missed a day or 713 00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:49,880 five days now on hindsight I didn't need a cushion at all because I 714 00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:53,800 There was only like three times when I missed 715 00:55:54,480 --> 00:56:00,600 Uploads and that was when I went to my Ohio to visit my grandparents 716 00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:03,160 one weekend and then I went to 717 00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:09,560 Michigan to visit my sister one weekend and then I went to funnel hacking live one week and 718 00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:12,640 On funnel hacking live. I'd only missed two days 719 00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:15,880 So on hindsight I didn't really need that much 720 00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:18,600 but it's nice because 721 00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:23,160 It's the peace of mind and that's a way to make it easy because 722 00:56:23,720 --> 00:56:29,720 It's way I was telling my friend about this because my friend doesn't have any scheduled. He kind of just has it 723 00:56:29,720 --> 00:56:36,840 Uh posted the next day or the next day. So he's basically forced to every single day he 724 00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:44,560 Operates under necessity not want so that is a big thing in 10x is easier than 2x 725 00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:47,600 operate under want not necessity 726 00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:53,040 Because when you're operating under want then it's abundance your abundance mindset 727 00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:56,800 But when you're operating under need it's scarcity mindset 728 00:56:56,800 --> 00:57:00,600 There's other different things why but pretty much 729 00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:08,520 He needs to record every day because he doesn't have that cushion. He doesn't have that upload schedule 730 00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:13,480 whereas I want to up to record every day because I've 731 00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:16,880 freed up my 732 00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:23,640 Kind of necessity by having a five-day schedule tomorrow if I don't want to if I don't want to record 733 00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:25,640 I don't have to record 734 00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:31,400 Which makes me want to record like it's this weird reverse psychology and 735 00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:38,920 That's extremely important make things as easy as possible, but also get yourself in that one team mindset 736 00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:44,560 Like you should want to do things like I want to record every single day 737 00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:47,560 and actually I've like 738 00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:52,880 This is where I was when I was going to the gym. I wanted to go to the gym every single day 739 00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:54,880 I would go seven days a week. It's crazy 740 00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:56,880 true story though and 741 00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:00,360 Then on days when I didn't go to the gym. I would feel like crap 742 00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:03,960 Like I wanted to go to the gym so bad 743 00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:07,600 But now it's different 744 00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:13,480 Like I want to go to the gym, but not every day because now I want to record every day 745 00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:19,800 Which I I can go to gym every day and record every day, but I want to have that extra time. I 746 00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:24,040 Want to focus on business a lot more, but that's a different story 747 00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:29,760 Great, so I'm getting to the point where I'm in that seven days a week for podcasting now 748 00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:34,040 So I want to record seven days a week. I don't need to go to the gym seven days a week 749 00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:39,920 I don't need to record seven days a week, but I want to and that's such a that's a big change 750 00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:46,320 That's a big game changer operate under want and not need that's like a big premise to 751 00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:48,840 The 10x is easier than 2x 752 00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:58,040 Be a want or not a neater the majority of people operate underneath and as a result you have to justify your needs because 753 00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:04,440 When you need something and you receive that you're basically taking it away from someone else whereas if you want something 754 00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:10,760 You create that so you're not creating you're not taking it from anyone else. You're creating your own wealth 755 00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:12,840 That's the difference between wealth and money 756 00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:16,840 wealth you can create like you can 757 00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:21,800 get some tools and some polish and 758 00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:25,000 Restore a beat-up car and 759 00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:29,680 Create wealth out of thin air now you've created like you turned a 760 00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:32,560 $500 rust bucket into a 761 00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:36,000 $20,000 762 00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:42,000 Like a $20,000 what's the word that I'm looking for? 763 00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:48,160 Antique car or something like that. So now you've created wealth out of thin air 764 00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:55,080 That's the difference because money you it's like money is a finite game wealth is an infinite game 765 00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:58,120 That's that's a needing is a finite game 766 00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:04,640 Wanting is an infinite game you can infinitely expand the rules of the game like that's the difference 767 01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,120 wanters 768 01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:10,400 Want to play the game to continue the game needers 769 01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:12,400 play the game 770 01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:19,240 I'm that like that those are the concepts in the 10x is easier than 2x that I'm still kind of wrapping my head around 771 01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:23,800 but it all goes along with Transurfing which is why it's so great, but 772 01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:27,120 That's the end of the episode so to wrap things up 773 01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:31,920 Don't forget to download your favorite episodes and subscribe to the ascend momentum show 774 01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:40,680 But before you guys leave make sure to look up at the sky.
