What level are you on the map of consciousness?
So, in, I finished 10x's easier than 2x today.
And it's a book by Dr. Benjamin Hardy and Dan Sullivan.
And in the conclusion, the conclusion was probably
my favorite chapter out of the whole thing.
The conclusion as well as the chapter where he was talking
about switching up your schedule, your work schedule
to make it more optimal for progress.
Meaning add rest days and buffer days and focus days.
But in the conclusion, he talked about this one book
called the map of, no, it was called Force versus Power.
I believe it was called that.
And it's by Dr. Hawkins, I wanna say.
And so, he basically said that most people,
well, here let me explain this first.
The map of consciousness is basically like a grid
or it looks like a timeline, but it's just like,
imagine a line, a horizontal line with zero on one end
and 1,000 on the other end.
And then as you go up the numbers,
you reach different levels of consciousness or awareness.
So like zero through 50 is like anger or no.
It's like, okay, I don't even remember,
I don't remember what the actual numbers are,
but pretty much zero through 150 are all negative emotions.
So like anger, fear, doubt, disbelief,
like all the negative emotions are zero through 150.
And then from 150 onwards is like happiness, joy, peace,
and then 1,000 is enlightenment.
And the premise of 10X is easier than 2X,
the book that I first heard of this concept
is all about just continually progressing yourself
and progressing your kind of advancement as a person.
And so he actually wrote in the conclusion
that according to Dr. Hawkins,
I'm just gonna call him Dr. Hawkins,
I could, I probably should have remembered his name,
but the guy who wrote the book,
the map of consciousness as well as force versus power,
that guy, Dr. Hawkins said that the average people,
like the majority of the population,
like the far majority of the world,
the entire population of humanity,
only progress like five points or five levels.
So they go from 100 to 105.
So they don't even progress to like higher levels.
They just progress five points
throughout their entire lifetime on average.
That's the average person, normal person.
And most people are operating under level 150.
So most people are still operating
under those negative emotions,
like fear, worry, anger, like all these negative emotions.
And he said that,
Dr. Hardy said that it's actually surprising
because most people only progress five points
when you can actually progress like hundreds of points
in a short period of time.
And that's what 10X is going on.
That's what going 10X is all about,
progressing multiple points in a short period of time.
This was really interesting for me to see
because I didn't realize that this book
was kind of about consciousness.
Well, 10X is easier than 2X.
I assumed that it was just going to be a normal
average self-development book
or like an average entrepreneur book, mindset book.
But it's so much more than that.
It actually talked about consciousness at the end,
which is what I'm getting into right now.
Like I'm really looking into the gateway experience.
I haven't really researched it in a little bit,
but I've been practicing the meditations
for the gateway experience,
like all about exploring consciousness
and exploring your awareness.
And so the fact that he talked about Dr. Hawkins,
I had never even heard of Dr. Hawkins
before this morning when I read that.
And so just before this episode,
I actually looked up the Force versus Power
and it's like a 450 page book.
And then I also looked up,
he also wrote another book called
The Map of Consciousness Explained,
which is like 400 pages.
So those are two books that I definitely want
to read in the future.
But there's one issue.
I have seven books already on my list right now
that I've already purchased and they're already
on my bookshelf after I finish reading this one next book,
which is Create, Don't Capture.
And so I started reading Create, Don't Capture this morning
after I finished 10X is easier than 2X.
And I'm really looking forward to it
because it's the first book that I've ever read
about how to become like a content creator.
Like I had started producing like content online 80 days ago
when my first episode on this podcast published.
And I never really looked up like how to do it better
or how to do it.
So this is why I'm really excited to read from this book,
but this book will be pretty quick.
And then I also have, cause it's only 170 pages,
but next books I'm gonna read, I've already told you guys
are all about like spirituality and just like discovering
the truth, which I don't know what that means,
but I want to discover the truth.
Those are the next books that I'm reading.
And I definitely want to add the force versus power,
as well as the map of consciousness explained
on my reading list, like to high priority reading list,
like probably like the next books that I read.
But there's one issue and it's that I only have like $100
in my bank account.
Yeah, I'm back down to nothing.
And I can't, I have to kind of control my spending
because I usually like to buy a lot of books.
Like I probably spent, I wouldn't be surprised
if it was closer to $1,000 on books over the past year.
And I have to just keep my spending under control
because I have some subscriptions that I need
to be able to pay for, like my RSS.com subscription,
which hosts my podcast.
So without that, the podcast will go down.
So I have to be able to pay for that
as well as my recording, or as well as my editing software,
podcastle.ai.
And there's a few other subscriptions
that I have to pay for, like later,
which I schedule TikToks on and speaking of TikToks.
I have been posting three TikToks
and three YouTube shorts every single day,
the same videos just on both platforms.
And so I've found that my YouTube channel
has grown a little bit more.
People still aren't listening to the podcast on the YouTube,
which by the way, I do have a face cam for the past week.
I've had a face cam on my YouTube videos for my podcast.
So right now, if you go on YouTube
and listen to this podcast, you'll be able to see me.
And I have, like for the past week, I had no background,
but now my mom put up a sheet behind me.
So that's why now I have a background.
But speaking of TikToks and shorts,
when I went to Funalacking Live,
one of the things that I learned on the first day
that I needed to implement was to post shorts
every single day.
And so I decided to record three YouTube shorts
slash TikToks every single day and post three every day.
And as a result, I have been doing that
for the past like week.
And the first, okay, so my TikTok is doing a lot better
than my YouTube.
And I predict it's because my YouTube,
I've already posted like 80 long form podcasts
that no one is interested in listening to.
And so the algorithm kind of hates me on that regard.
So I think that it'll take a little bit of recovery
on my shorts to kind of bring it back up.
But I'm really looking forward to seeing where this takes off
because my first couple of TikToks got maybe 10, 50 views.
And I like that my first TikTok got 50 views
or one of my first ones got 50 views and I was hype.
I was really excited because that was 50 views is a lot.
Because I was expecting like five views, 10 views,
like no views.
And then recently, I like the past,
well, not the past three now
because three more have posted since I checked.
But last night I checked after recording the podcast
and I've gotten 250 views on like three TikToks in a row.
And people are liking them.
And also people are like one person
favorited one of my TikToks.
So that's awesome.
And I feel like it's gonna be really important.
So there's a few things that you guys may be able to expect
in the future, a few changes.
So first of all, I'm expecting to get a lot better
at recording my TikToks because as I'm recording
my TikToks because and I may switch
from three TikToks every day to just one.
And let me explain.
The guy that told that like basically gave the speech
at Funalaki Live to get us to post daily on TikTok,
he developed a framework for like the perfect YouTube short
or the perfect short form video.
And it's similar to Russell Brunson's
perfect webinar script, except it's basically
like a 60 second perfect video script.
And it's basically where you have the hook
which hooks the viewer's attention.
And then you have a three secrets and then a story.
I might have that flopped.
It might be a story and then three secrets.
I don't know.
It doesn't really matter because I'll figure it out later.
But you have three secrets.
So it's say like, do you guys wanna hear three secrets
on how to get rich?
Secret number one is this, secret number two,
secret number three, and then it goes through.
And then it has the offer, but I don't think offer
would be a thing or maybe it would be called to action
like fall for more.
And so that's, I learned about that for the TikToks
but I never really did it.
I just, if I did that then I would have to switch
to just doing one TikTok a day, which would be fine.
Which I might end up doing because I started reading
the create don't capture book.
And literally after two chapters, I had an epiphany
and I wrote down in the notes like on the last page
of the book, on like the blank page
where I sometimes write notes on my books.
I wrote down, should I structure my podcast
to follow the perfect 60 second, excuse me,
perfect 60 second TikTok basically.
So should I structure my podcast
to be a 60 minute version of the perfect short?
So essentially I would have a hook
and then I'd have like 20 minutes,
no it would be like 15 minutes of secret one,
15 minutes of secret two, 15 minutes of secret three.
And then I would reveal all the secrets in the beginning
of the podcast to get people to listen to the whole thing
so they could get all the secrets.
And then potentially put the most interesting secret
at the end so that people listen to the whole thing.
Maybe that will help with my engagement.
I don't know what my engagement is on podcasts.
I don't think they tell me that stat,
but I think that will help a lot with my engagement
as well as just quality of the podcast.
So that would be a good structure
that I may experiment with in the future.
And then I also, I'd have to switch it to one short every day
just follow that same structure except minified.
But I don't know, that's a few things
to look forward to possibly.
But I wanna talk about 10X is easier than 2X.
I'm realizing that I'm really thinking about
that map of consciousness
and how the majority of people on this world,
like 99% of people in this world
only move five points out of 1,000.
There is 1,000 points up for grabs
on the map of consciousness.
And the majority of people only move five points
in their entire lifetime, like 80 years.
They only move five points.
When you can actually move like hundreds of points
in a very short amount of time, like a year,
a couple months, I don't know how long it takes,
but I'm definitely like looking into that.
And I think that I have moved up a couple of points
over the past like seven months
because I definitely think that transurfing,
reading, reality, transurfing
has helped me move up a lot of points
and studying that.
And that's kind of where I'm at with that,
but one thing that I realized is there's a lot,
there's a lot to do.
Or there's a, no, what am I even talking about?
This morning, I'm switching the topic completely.
This morning, I finished the transurfing review final part.
So there's gonna be two episodes coming up in the future
of Transurfing Principles Part Nine and Part Ten.
So it'll be a 10-part series completed.
So if you guys are new here, I have this series
that I recorded while I was reading the book,
Reality Transurfing.
And I would basically just kind of,
I just record and review all of the principles
that I learned, like review all of my notes
from the week before.
And so this will be a compilation of all of my notes
from the last few weeks of reading,
ever since Transurfing Principles Part Eight.
And I didn't want to like write it out
until I got home from Funnel Hacking Live,
so I can kind of recall it and have it go through my brain
after I started to forget about it.
So this morning, I spent like an hour
doing the principles review.
And I realized that, okay, so I already knew this,
but it was brought more to my attention.
So we can control our reality.
So we are the maker of our reality.
So we are literally God.
Like we are a manifestation of God.
And so what that means is that we are creators
of our own reality.
Like we can't create the entire world.
Like we can't change the entire world,
but we can, we definitely have our own layer
of our world at our disposal.
And there's one kind of, one concept
that really stuck with me again,
because I remember the first time I read it
and the second time I read it, it stuck with me.
But this morning when I reread it and wrote it down,
it really stuck with me.
We need to take care of our layer of our world,
which is our thoughts.
Let me explain this.
We need to take care of our layer of the world
just as much as we take care of our physical bodies.
We can control our reality
just as we can control our physical body.
And then when we control our physical reality,
that's our thoughts.
Our thoughts are equal to our physical reality.
So this is what I'm thinking.
I'm like, the more and more I read this stuff,
the more and more I understand it, which is everything.
If you just spend time over a few months or years
studying something, you'll understand it a lot.
And so the more weeks and months that I spend
like thinking about this stuff and learning about this,
the more it kind of goes through my mind
and I can understand a lot more.
So when we control our thoughts, we control our reality.
And it makes sense because the majority of people
only move up five points throughout their whole lifetime
on the map of consciousness.
And the majority of people don't control their thoughts.
Like the reason why I know this is because
I was part of the majority one year ago
and I never controlled my thoughts.
I didn't even give them a second thought, no pun intended.
Like I would literally just allow my thoughts
to control themselves.
Like I would literally just be controlled by my thoughts.
Like my thoughts would go rampant
and they would just go on their own.
I'd just see them as like not,
like just they'd just do whatever they want.
Like I had no discipline over them.
And that's everyone.
Like I've asked people this before.
I'm like, what are your thoughts like?
Like do you control them?
And they're like, no, they kind of just do whatever they want.
Like this is everyone, everyone in the world,
the 99% of the world does not control their thoughts.
And so if you, but 99% of the world,
like, okay, everyone can control their bodies
and everyone can control their thoughts,
but not everyone controls their thoughts.
And those that do gain extreme success.
Like Russell Brunson is a
like extremely successful entrepreneur.
He has a $100 million plus year business
called ClickFunnels.
He's a New York Times bestselling author.
Like he's a hyper successful human being.
He was an all American in wrestling
when he was in high school.
He went like, he was like one of the best in the nation
in college for wrestling.
Like he's a hyper successful human being.
And I went to his event, Funnel Hacking Live,
the other week and literally the first day
he was talking about the new thought movement,
which I had never heard of,
but it's basically a movement of people
or not really necessarily a movement,
but it's basically like a time era from like the 1850s onwards
to around the 1850s where people started to realize
that your thoughts actually affect your reality.
And so he basically went on a deep dive
in the new thought movement or new thought era.
And he like bought all of the books from these people
and study them.
And so if I'm just studying this for like six months,
transurfing and just studying transurfing
not really full time,
he's buying like 15,000 books a year on this stuff
and reading like all of it.
Probably not all of it,
but he is reading a lot about this stuff.
So he definitely controls his thoughts
and he's a hyper successful person.
So I'm coming to realize that it's like
when you, your reality reflects your thoughts.
Well, that is true.
Like one of the principles of transurfing
is called the mirror principles.
And it's basically the world is a mirror
that reflects your relationship to it.
So what that basically means
is every time you send your thought energy out,
it gets bounced back to you in physical reality.
So you're basically standing in front of a mirror
at all times, at all times.
And the way you, like the way you're sending in front of it
is by just thinking.
And since our thoughts are nonstop, they're constant,
we're constantly sending an image to the mirror.
And then the mirror reflects back
by manifesting it in real life.
So you send your thoughts out,
the mirror manifests it back in real life,
but there's a delay.
So you can't, that's why you can't just say,
like I'm a millionaire
or you can't just think like I'm a millionaire.
Hey, there's a delay.
So you have to hold that image in your thought
for quite some time and then it'll send back.
That's what I'm in the works of doing right now.
My goal is to move to Hawaii and surf,
but there's some stuff that I've added to it.
For example, a wife and a yacht.
That's what I've added to it so far.
So I'm basically like on the yacht
and I'm also surfing and I have a house,
but that's kind of like what I've added to it.
And I visualize that during my meditation,
I usually spend like the first two thirds of the meditation
getting into focus 10,
which is basically trying to get your body
as deeply relaxed as possible.
I'm unable to get into sleep paralysis yet,
but I will in the future.
That's what I'm practicing for.
And I basically, for the first two thirds,
I spend just getting as deep as possible
and then the last one third about on average,
I just visualize my goal and then I get out of it
and then I go and then usually, okay,
so in the morning, my morning routine,
once I'm done meditating,
I get up and balance on my medicine ball,
which if you guys remember,
I have a medicine ball that I balance on every morning.
I do seven minutes every morning
and I basically am doing that
so I can become, have better balance
so I can become a better surfer.
And so since I just get off of visualizing
while I'm balancing,
or since I just get off of visualizing,
then I start balancing on the ball
and continue that like visualization
and imagine that I'm surfing while I'm balancing on the ball.
So that's another time that I do it.
And I find that every once in a while,
some days it's more, some days it's less.
Throughout the day, I think about my goal,
but I find that it's kind of,
it doesn't really happen too often.
So that's why I put it in my routine to think about my goal.
And then I like, I've meditated three times a day at least.
So I get visualization three times a day.
And that's one of the things that Russ Brunson said,
visualize your goal every single day.
Like, hyper successful people are focusing on their thoughts.
Like they don't get there on accident.
And it just makes sense.
Like when I first got into reality, trans surfing,
I realized like, before I even knew about any of this stuff,
I realized that I was focused on my physical body,
but I didn't really focus on my thoughts.
I knew that my thoughts were like,
oh yeah, you should probably focus on those next.
Just like the next thing to improve,
but I didn't realize just how important they are.
Now that I'm starting to realize how important my thoughts are,
I'm going all in on like, fixing them.
And it's also like, I have seven months in to trans surfing,
and probably only like four months in
to actually focusing on my thoughts,
because I'm going to be honest for like the first,
I didn't even start like worrying about waking up in my day
until the second time I read trans surfing.
Like I was just asleep the whole time
I was reading trans surfing the first,
which is basically not being present.
There's a lot going on,
and I know that I'm on the right path,
I'm really excited for future,
but I'm going to be honest,
there's one thing that's been on my mind.
Lately my podcast quality has not been up to par.
I'm not happy with the level of quality
that I've been putting out for my podcast lately,
which is why there's some changes that are going to be happening.
Today I'm going to be doing a double episode.
So what that means is I'm going to be recording two episodes today,
so I can get another trans surfing principles episode out.
But that means that I'm going to have,
instead of five episodes scheduled ahead of time,
I'll have six, and then tomorrow I'm going to record
two episodes again, so then I'll be at seven.
And then all week from tomorrow, starting tomorrow,
ending, I'll have to see what my gym timing is,
but pretty much all week, like tomorrow through Friday,
I'm going to be like practicing sketching out,
or not even sketching out, but framing out
future episodes.
So if you guys heard yesterday I talked about
one of the things that I'm going to be doing is
adding rest days to my day,
because usually I just record every single day
and have no rest days.
But I know that it's essential to have rest days,
especially from work.
So I'm going to be having all week rest days
slash buffer days, which means that
I'm going to be, at least for this first week,
I'm going to be spending all week still recording,
because I want to maintain the seven episode schedule.
So I'm still going to be recording all week,
but I'm also going to be schedule, not scheduling,
but I'm also going to be planning out episodes,
which means that I'm going to start taking notes again
in my books.
So every single time I see something that's important,
I'm writing it down.
And then when it's time to work out the episode,
like when it's time to script out,
I'm not going to script it, but I'm going to plan it out.
So I'm going to have, like I said,
I'm going to try the three secrets for one episode.
See how that goes.
And I'm going to be doing...
I'm just going to go through all my notes
of what I read in the morning,
and then just compile an episode.
That's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to figure out how these notes,
like, connect with each other,
and I'm going to say three secrets for this one result.
So for example, three secrets to get rich.
And they're going to be different,
but they're going to be towards the same result.
That's what I'm thinking for improving the quality of my episodes.
So I can have rest days,
but this first week is going to be very tough
because I still want to maintain my daily recording
so that I can stay at a seven-episode schedule.
But I also want to script out future episodes
so that over the weekend I can just crank out a bunch of episodes
and record a bunch.
It's going to be interesting, but I think it'll be worth it.
Because to be honest,
it's extremely tough
because when I was reading Transurfing,
I knew exactly what to talk about
because I was just constantly learning exactly what
you guys want to hear,
or not necessarily what you guys want to hear,
I was learning exactly what I wanted to talk about.
Or I was also strengthening my knowledge on Transurfing
because that was my second time reading it and I was studying it.
And like I said, whatever you're reading at the time heavily influences
the course of events in the day.
So if you're reading Transurfing,
you're going to be talking about Transurfing a lot
and you're going to be thinking about it a lot,
which means that it'll affect the podcast episode greatly,
which is why I had entire episodes dedicated to Transurfing.
Eight up to date.
Eight whole episodes just for Transurfing.
And there was many other episodes where I talked mostly on Transurfing.
But I switched to 10x's easier than 2x,
which I don't have a great understanding on yet
because it was just my first time reading it.
But I don't know, let me get some water.
I want to talk about the gym.
So one of the things I realized,
something I realized at Funnel Hacking Live was
I focused on strategies over tactics.
So essentially, I started to realize this over time,
especially when I found out that like billionaires don't even know
like what payment processors they're using
or they don't know all the little tactics.
All they know is the main strategies on how to move forward.
They know the business strategies.
And so I started to realize that
and then I realized one time to focus on the general strategy.
I don't remember exactly what the story was behind how it came to the epiphany.
But I was like telling my friend about that
and then he was like, oh, that makes so much sense.
That's why there are like skinny bodybuilders
that are focusing on all these little things
like the exact angle, all the tactics for lifting.
But then there's absolutely massive jacked bodybuilders
that are just going like going so fast,
pumping out the weight so fast with extremely high intensity.
And that's because they're focusing on the strategies over the tactics.
They're making sure that they have the main strategy down,
which is intensity.
And so I was like, oh yeah, but I didn't really think much about it.
And then one day I was in a rush for while I was at the gym.
I was in a rush and it was my push day.
So I was hitting chest, trice and shoulders.
And so I was, I usually like superset when I'm in a rush,
but this time I supersetted as well as had high intensity.
And let me tell you, it is so much better.
If you focus on just high intensity,
like that's the only thing I focus on.
Like I had a crazy pump and I was only there for like probably 25 minutes.
And so I've been doing high intensity at the gym lately.
Yesterday I had an amazing leg day, high intensity.
And then today I had a great whole day, high intensity.
And tomorrow I'm going to have another chest day or push day, high intensity.
So focus on the strategies over the tactics.
Which is also another reason why I haven't been focusing too much on the tactics for my videos.
Like I haven't even looked into like keywords or...
I haven't looked into a lot of the things which I'm sure they're very important.
And it's probably just excuses by me.
But to be honest, I don't really care too much about it.
But there is one thing that I do want to get is thumbnails.
Because I feel like that's another reason why my episodes are not doing too hot on YouTube.
Is because I don't have any thumbnails.
Also it's probably because people don't want to listen to a one hour long video.
But I don't know.
I think that there are people that want to listen to a one hour long video.
Because I used to watch Hamza all the time. And a lot of people would watch his long form videos.
And that's another thing.
I think that I might go back to watch just like one of the podcasts that I used to listen to.
Like Modern Wisdom or Die of a CEO.
I might listen to one of those podcasts.
Maybe not. Because those are like guest speakers a lot of the times.
And I don't have a guest speaker. It's always just me talking.
But I also want to go onto YouTube and watch Hamza video again.
So I can see like what he does.
So I can like figure out how to make my stuff better.
Because I feel like if I can make a YouTube video.
Right now I'm just making a podcast. Like I'm just sitting here in front of the camera.
Or in front of the microphone just speaking.
But if I can make a YouTube video that I can repurpose into a podcast.
Without having people confused.
Like without having people be required to look at the screen.
Like for example if I make sure that I don't say like look at here.
If I make sure not to like put images on the screen.
Or if I need to know that you need to be able to see.
To like understand what's going on.
I feel like if I do that and make like YouTube videos.
And then repurpose it for podcasts.
It will be so much better.
But I don't know.
I have to figure out what.
Because I haven't looked at YouTube in a while.
So I'd have to figure out like what Hamza's doing.
And see.
That had to actually be a good idea.
See what he does for his podcast.
Because or not podcast.
His YouTube.
This is very one of the most valuable lessons that I learned so far.
Is to model other people.
Like figure out what works.
And literally just model it.
And I learned this in Russell Brunson's books.
His dot com secrets.
Expert secrets.
Traffic secrets.
I learned it's called funnel hacking.
Where you basically look at another company's website.
That is like profitable and that's doing very well.
And then you just model it.
So wherever they have a headline.
You put your headline.
Wherever they have a buy now button.
You put your buy now button.
Or they have a story or a picture.
You put your story or picture there.
And you basically just model it.
And I learned that.
And I started to apply that to other things.
Like for example my podcast.
My picture my profile pic.
Is basically modeled from.
Diary of a CEO.
Modern wisdom.
On purpose.
Like those those podcasters.
I modeled my picture off of that.
And then I modeled.
Like my intro.
My old intro off of what Russell's.
Wrote in extra secrets.
And then I also like a lot of things I modeled.
So.
Model off of other people.
Like even my gym routine I modeled off of someone else originally.
Like I just looked up.
Push pull legs.
And I looked at the pictures.
And I copied that routine.
Just do that.
And so obviously Hamza's videos are working.
Like he is extremely popular.
He's extremely successful.
So if I just figure out what he's doing and model it.
For my own stuff.
I can get on good.
And I think that.
One of the important things is to find my own niche.
So if you guys haven't noticed that.
Especially on today's episode.
I always just like bounce back and forth.
Between many different.
Topics and themes.
And that makes the episode hard to listen to.
And a lot of times I'm just talking about my own progress.
Because I simply don't have anything to talk about.
So I think that.
It'll be extremely beneficial once I start scripting out these videos.
Or not like completely scripting out.
But writing it.
Writing like episode notes.
Like just writing notes.
Down.
And.
Maybe I'll be able to start writing the show notes.
Or chapter notes or chapters.
I don't know what they're called.
But.
Because I know that Hamza writes notes.
I'm pretty sure he writes notes.
Because I remember one time he was like.
Oh let me check my notes or.
Something I don't know.
I don't know.
But.
I want to figure out like all that.
Because.
He is able to talk about something.
For literally an hour and a half.
And have no stoppage.
No stop.
And he has notes I'm pretty sure.
So notes are extremely important.
And that's the one thing I don't do.
But I do do them on the Transurf and Principles episodes.
And I think those are some of my best episodes.
And I'm going to be recording another one.
In 20 minutes.
Once I'm done with this episode.
But.
Just model other people.
That's what I did when I was like.
Coming up with my morning routine.
And.
My.
Just my day.
I was figuring out like what.
Successful people do.
Well they read.
Well they go to the gym.
They meditate.
They eat clean.
They eat healthy.
Like.
They do all these things.
And then now I'm realizing.
That.
One thing that I never even knew.
Was they focus on their thoughts.
Like they focus on everything that's going up here.
That's going up here in their mind.
Focus on all of that stuff.
Which is all internal work.
Like no one sees that work.
Like people can see if you're going to the gym.
And.
I heard this.
I read this in 10x's easier than 2x.
There is.
A story about this one.
Super Bowl champion.
Quarterback.
Who I believe was retired.
Who was talking about this one.
Quarterback.
And.
Forgive me because I don't know.
Like the names.
I don't watch football that often.
But.
He was talking about this one quarterback.
Who.
Like went 10x.
And he used to be good.
But now he's great.
And.
The.
Super Bowl winner who was talking about him.
Said like this guy does the lonely work.
He goes out.
And does the work.
Like he goes out.
To the.
Like.
Hit those reps when no one's watching.
It's not the stuff that you post on social media.
It's not the stuff you tell people that he does out.
And does.
Goes out and does the lonely work.
Like no one knows that he's doing this.
Except for him.
And he does it because this.
Pones his craft.
So he spent.
Days.
Hours every day.
For months or years.
Out.
Like at the park by himself.
Getting the reps in.
And no one else knows.
And that's the lonely work.
And so that's kind of what I'm thinking.
The inner work is because.
When I was first.
When I first discovered about transfer fame.
It was.
I watched a video.
And it was.
Interview.
Someone was interviewing him on.
About what books he's been doing.
And.
I was.
And it was a.
Interview.
Someone was interviewing him on.
About what books he reads right now.
And he said.
Transurfing.
That was it.
That was the.
It was a YouTube short.
So it was like 10 seconds long.
And then I remember.
Like telling my friend about it.
And then.
He.
Saw a video and he said that.
He saw another video.
And it was basically.
A.
YouTube short video.
About transfer.
And he said.
It was someone.
I think it was the same video except like extended.
Because he was like.
What books do you read.
And he was like.
Rowdy transfer.
And then he was like.
Yeah.
The thing is that.
Most people these days.
Don't do the inner work.
Like.
You.
I don't remember exactly how the video went.
But.
The.
Summer.
The moral of.
He said that most people don't do the inner work and you got to build it.
You got to do the inner work if you want to be successful.
And the inner work is all the stuff that goes in your mind.
Like up here.
In the inner head.
And that's the lonely work because no one sees it.
No one sees.
You constantly.
Waking up.
No one sees anything that is going on in your head.
Only you know about that.
Like that is the true lonely work.
No one knows about it.
Like.
Yes.
No one knows that that quarterback went out to the park.
But he was doing it in physical reality.
Yes.
It was lonely work.
Yes.
It's extremely hard.
Yes.
No one else wants to do it.
And that's why he was great.
But the.
Like.
The.
Lonely work as well.
Is I don't want to discredit what this quarterback is doing because.
I've done that before.
Literally just for.
Few months and it's it's rough.
It's like that's the only work.
No one wants to do it.
And I was not able to maintain it obviously.
But.
The lonely work goes on up here because.
So just bear with me here.
If we all agree that successful the difference between success.
Successful people.
Like the difference between the 1% and the 99% is all up here.
Like objectively speaking.
Actually I don't know but.
All the hyper successful people like.
Hyper successful entrepreneurs Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.
Bill Gates like these people.
They look average like they just look like a normal person right.
Right.
Like they don't have wildly crazy physics like.
There are no.
Arnold Schwarzenegger there are no.
Like.
What's that guy's name.
He's a.
Oh C bomb.
Chris Bumstead there are no Chris Bumstead.
Like they have average physics they probably have average health.
Like I saw this Warren Buffett would eat like.
Burger King every day.
Like they probably have average health.
The only difference is up here.
They just did the inner work they did the lonely work.
And that's the difference between hyper success and average mediocrity.
Like that's why no one like most people only go up five points out of a thousand.
In their entire lifetime.
And that's why other people go hundreds of points in a few years.
On the map of consciousness.
So if if we can agree that the difference.
Let's just agree that the difference between the 1% and the 99% is all mental.
Yes they know more knowledge but that's the inner work as well.
Like they'd sit down and read.
But they also focus on their thoughts they also like hound their thinking.
And get rid of they absolutely destroy all negative thoughts.
They absolutely control their thoughts because when you control your thoughts you control reality.
So let's agree right now that the difference is your thinking your thoughts your worldview your mindset.
So now we can go on to say that if you just do the inner work you are guaranteed success.
If you do the inner work you will be successful.
And the thing is one of the biggest factors stopping me from going to the gym in the first place.
Like for years I had a gym membership just a family gym membership.
And for years I would sit on the back couch watching YouTube.
And my sister and my mom or my dad would say go into the gym you won't come with.
And I always say no no for years this happened.
And inside it was because I was too embarrassed.
I didn't want to do it.
Like I was too embarrassed to go out.
I didn't want people to see so I literally for during COVID during the lockdown.
I literally just sat I would like every night I would just do like push-ups in my in my room.
So and then if I heard people walking by I would instantly stop because I was embarrassed.
But when you're doing the inner work no one has to see no one has to know you're the only one that knows.
But that's also another thing.
If you rely on other people's gratification other people's approval their permission.
You're not going to want to do it.
But if you also rely on other people's permission you don't need no one's permission to do the inner work.
Because no one knows no knows that it's it's happening.
And then all of a sudden things are going to change because remember the world is a mirror but it has a delay.
So right now I'm in the delay stagnant time.
Like there's no changes happening in my life.
But eventually it's going to come like a tidal wave.
I don't actually know if it's going to come like a tidal wave but that's what I'm telling myself.
It's going to come like a tidal wave.
It's going to catch everyone else by surprise because this whole time I've been doing the inner work.
And taking charge of my thoughts.
When you take charge of your thoughts you take charge of your reality.
You can control your reality just as much as you can control your physical body.
Like I have full control over my physical body.
I can open my eyes.
I can shake my head.
I can move my hands around.
I can run.
I can jump.
Like that's all inner intention.
But another one of our features in this life is to be able to control our reality.
Like we are creators.
We are God.
God created us and put a piece of him in us.
So now we are creators as well.
If you just follow that.
If you consider your intention, the intention of God, how can it fail?
God created stuff that we can't even see outside of this universe.
So how like he created a star, something that we can't even touch.
Something so far away from us that we can barely see it in our night sky.
He created that.
How can we expect him to fail at creating the life that we want in our own little corner
of the world?
Like we can control our own reality.
Like my layer of the world I can control.
I'm the creator of my layer of the world.
So how can I fail at creating that?
There's no way I can fail because it's God's intention.
And to finish this episode up I want to talk about sleep and a nighttime routine.
Every single night for the past four months I want to say, five months.
I've always journaled right before bed.
And then for the past three to four months I always meditated right before bed.
And I added those to my routine because I knew they were important.
I wanted to have a journaling daily but I didn't know where to add it.
So I just put in my nighttime routine because whenever something is in your morning routine
or your nighttime routine it is guaranteed to happen in your day.
That's what I've found.
Like whenever something's in your routine it's guaranteed to happen every day.
Especially morning routine.
Because you just go through the motions every single morning.
Like that's why my morning routine is like four hours long.
So I just jam things in there.
And then on my nighttime routine I have journaling and I always journal.
I usually before I read 10x's easier than 2x I had four questions or five questions actually.
First is what did I do today?
Second is is this helping me?
Third is my moving forward.
Fourth is what am I doing tomorrow?
Fifth is what did I learn in my morning studies?
And then I added three more I think three.
Six is what are my daily wins?
So what are three things that I won doing today?
It's anything that's a win.
Even a failure if I learned a lesson on it.
For example I declared it a win that I screwed up my sleep schedule for a week and I fixed it.
Because now I know how important it is sleep for your meditations.
And I declared that a win.
That's also being in the gain mindset over the gap.
Which is a concept in 10x's easier than 2x.
The gain is where successful people reside.
The gap is where miserable people reside.
And the gain is all about interpreting everything as bad.
Like it's basically coordinating intention except for the past tense.
Oh wait no it's interpreting everything as good my bad.
The gain is all about seeing all your pasts, failures and successes as positive.
And then the gap is all about like you measuring yourself up against impossible standards and getting mad that you didn't achieve that.
But the question six in my journaling every night is all about what are my daily wins?
Because when you are in the gain you are.
That is an extremely good advantage.
So I added that to my nighttime routine.
And then question eight is daily wants.
And I just write down as many things that I can think about that I want at the moment.
And a lot of times I repeat things like I want to surf.
I want to be financially free.
Like a lot of things are repeated.
But other times there's specific things that I want in that day.
Like I want to finish 10x disease in 2x.
I want to start reading the ultimate reading list for human beings.
Like those are my daily wants.
And it's because when you operate under a system of wanting you have an abundance mindset.
You do things because you want to.
There's no need to justify.
You want to because you want to.
Whereas if you operate under a need system then you're under a scarcity mindset.
You need things.
So you have to take things from other people.
So you justify that.
You have to justify why you should have it over someone else.
Like the 99% operate on a needing mindset.
We're in the 1% operating in a wanting mindset.
So that's another thing.
Dan Sullivan spent like 1000 plus days just journaling every single day of his wants.
So if he did that I'm going to do that too.
Like that's how important it is.
So I added that to my night's room routine.
And then the last thing is what are my 20% tasks?
And that just gives me a...
I know question 4 is similar to that.
That gives me time to think.
Like just moments of silence to kind of think about what tasks are actually helping me move forward.
What tasks are efficient.
So that's all about being reflective.
And I found that reflection is an extremely valuable thing for moving forward.
I improved the most I've ever improved this past summer because I journaled and I was reflective over everything that I was doing every single day.
And then I kind of like went stagnant on my over the past like month or so or two months.
I kind of just went through the motions for my journaling and I wasn't as reflective and I wasn't as critical.
But now that I added these three more questions, they gave me the opportunity to actually start thinking more and not just going through the motions.
And now that I have a hard set rule of being done recording, like being done in the basement at 445 and I have to go upstairs at that time.
Even if I'm not done.
Which I'm always done recording, but I'm not always done editing.
So I have to go upstairs at 445 no matter what.
That's my rule.
But that's pretty much for that.
That's it for the episode.
