Everybody has off days and for me seems like yesterday was an off day turned
into a good podcast the day before was an off day and the day before that was an
off day and today was an off day. So yesterday if you didn't hear the podcast
pretty much I had like I was super tired all day long and I was just getting
like dizzy head rushes all the time and I pretty much just sat on the couch all
day and today was pretty much no different. I woke up and the thing is
yesterday after recording that podcast I saw one video because a couple days
ago I saw an Alex Ramosy video and he said that routines are keeping you
weak and I watched that video and I wasn't completely satisfied with like
the what I got out of the video. So yesterday I saw another Alex Ramosy
video talking more about and he was talking about the anti-routine and
pretty much I saw that video yesterday and then went to bed and literally I
remember last night when I was like in and out of consciousness just drifting
into sleep I was thinking about like just everything that I've been doing
wrong like I've been I had this I thought that if I just added more and more to my
routine like one of the biggest things I've been preaching lately was if you
just copy a successful routine and just do it then you're guaranteed success. But
the thing is I have been doing that for like two months and I haven't seen any
results and I was aware that it's not gonna happen instantly. I've been doing
actually no I've been doing a routine for more than two months like probably
like four or five months but I was aware that I wasn't gonna get results right
away and I was aware that it was gonna take time but the thing is I kept on I
kept thinking that the more more stuff that adds my routine the more
successful I'll be and there was one thing wrong with it my routine was so
packed that I didn't have any time for rest which was a huge issue because I
just learned about how you need to have rest when you're doing creative work
like this podcasting and so that's my first reason why I was like I was just
realizing that the routine is bad but I didn't think any other reason why it was
bad so it just off of that one like issue was not enough to change things so I
just went on with my like with my days kept the routine and then I learned
about the anti-routine Alex Ramosy talked about in this video and he said
that the difference between and then he said a statement and when I heard him
say that I like it instantly sparked something in me because I say that all
the time like I say the difference between successful people and average
people is this and so if he's saying it and he already knows how to gain success
and he's already done it then his word is more valuable in mind and so I looked
at his I watched the video and he said the difference between successful people
and like average are is that successful people don't have more of what average
people have like they don't have more in their routine like average he said that
average people look for things that successful people have that the average
person does not and then they add it to their routine but the thing that they
actually the difference is that successful people don't have something of
what the average people do so let me explain pretty much average people look
for more and more things to add to the routine and that's exactly what I was
doing over the past over a hundred days but especially over the past hundred
days once I got into this podcast I was adding more and more thing to my routine
and I was looking for more and more things to add to it until it just got so
packed where I had zero time in my day but he's saying that the successful
people are the ones that don't have stuff in their routine they're the ones
that take things out of their routine and one thing that successful people don't
have the average people do have is an off button which is something that I have I
feel like I definitely do have or I don't have an off button which puts me in
the category of successful people because he another at so in the beginning
the video he basically gave like the general strategies and like the concept
conceptual ideas and then the second half of the video he gave actual tactics
like practical things that you can apply and he gave like seven tips seven
things to apply and I wrote them all down and the thing is that I am already
doing like all of them except for a few so the seven tips are the first one
change your phone number so and he basically explained why and it was
because people like you don't owe anyone a response and it's basically a huge
distraction in your day to have people texting you which I did have plans on
changing my phone number once I graduated or once I like started to see some
success but I haven't done it yet but I pretty much got the benefits from it
already because I am not even like I am not on my phone at all ever and when I
am on it people have just gotten used to my absence on my phone that they just
don't even text me anymore like it's been probably like three weeks and I've only
gotten like one text and that was from like my family group chat so that is
that's that like I'm doing number one basically I'm not doing it but I'm
getting the results from it which is change your phone number and then the
second one is stop going to events unless you are trans or unless you are
ignorant to what needs to be done that one he is more of a higher level thing
like huge time of masterminds which I'm not even going to those in the first
place because I don't even have the money to afford that but I'm not really
doing that anyways but the thing is I don't really know what needs to be done
and I'll talk about that later on and then the third one is take no meetings
from 4 a.m. to 12 p.m. and that's I mean I'm not even taking meetings I don't
even have a team and I don't even have like a business up yet so like all these
most these tips are for like further advanced people the fourth one is stop
treating weekends differently wake up and go to the bed at
same time that is something that I've been doing for quite some time I I treat
my weekends as the same like I go to bed at the same exact time every single day
even on weekends and I wake up at the same exact time every single day even on
weekend so I go to bed around 6 10 and then I wake up around 4 o'clock or I
wake up at 4 o'clock every day and that's like the same same every day even on
weekends so that's one of the big tips I already am doing and then number five is
just maintain in the gym so that is one that I've kind of been dipping my toes
into and I'll I'll get into like one of the things he said is you only have so
much like growth juice one of the things that I realized is I'm kind of dipping
my toes into business right now I'm kind of like passing it out seeing if I like
it or not but I'm not fully committing so let me let me tell you something I see
so many people around me that want to get a good physique they want to build
some muscle but they're just kind of dipping their toes in there they're
just like going once a week once every other week or something like that they're
just like testing it out and they're not getting any results obviously but the
reason why I got so much results is because I literally just invested my
entire life into that like that was all I did like that was my only purpose
every single day was to go to the gym for from like the beginning of sophomore
year all the way until like that like summer going into senior year so literally
for almost like pretty much two years I literally only cared about going to the
gym that's that was my only purpose and like I did not dip my toes I like fully
emerged myself in that and that's why I got so much results in that amount of
time like that's why I was able to see success like I didn't worry about
anything else except for that and I am like just yesterday and today I've just
become conscious of the fact that I'm dipping my toes into entrepreneurship I'm
dipping a toes into business because I'm just kind of like testing out the
waters I'm I'm kind of just recording some videos and I'm not really doing
anything other than that and the only way you actually see success is by
investing like your entire life to it and like he said you only have so much
growth juice and I was investing my growth juice all around the board like
with my routine was so jam-packed and I say was because this morning was the
first time that I didn't do my routine in like a long time so my routine was so
jam-packed that I was investing my growth juice in maintaining my balance
maintaining or not maintaining but improving my balance improving my
physique getting my breath more optimal like I was there was a lot of things
that I was investing in there's so many things that was working towards improving
so I was spreading myself so thin over all of these things and then he when he
said you only have so much growth juice I and he Alex or Mosey he's a very built
guy like he is got a very good physique and he literally said in the video that
during that like phase when he was building up his business literally he
just went to the gym two days a week just to maintain and he fasted for two
two days a week like he literally didn't eat at all for two days a week and he
had an ex like he has an amazing physique I'm sure he had a great physique
back then also and so if he definitely he invested his like he invested
everything into that into the business so that's what I realized I need to do
because I have kind of I kind of like shifted to only going three days on two
days off instead of seven days a week which yeah that's like kind of half
invested now but now I'm just like half invested in building my physique and
half invested in entrepreneur in business so I'm kind of like getting nothing out
of both so that's another issue and then the like okay so number six was fast
one to two days a week and then he only ate caffeine and bone broth on the days
where he fasted and that he said that saved him a lot of time like cooking
food and eating like and also I'm sure that your focus increases when you fast
because in like during summer I did some research on fasting and intermittent
fasting and it's it's actually got some pretty good benefits for your focus so
I'm sure that definitely helped him and the seventh one is delete all social
media which I already did I did so going to my notes for today's podcast I
towards the end of the notes I said like I'm doing all the things but not seeing
any of the results like I'm doing all the things I deleted my social media I am
what else am I doing I'm recording every day I am not on my phone ever I'm like
doing like I'm doing all the things but I'm not seeing any of the results and I
realized that it's because like I said it's I'm like dipping my toes in the
water so I have to either go go all in or nothing because if I if I kind of dip
my toes in the water I'm not gonna see any of the results that's like like I
said you can't just dip your toes into the water when you're going to the gym
you're not gonna see any of the results if you just go like one one day a week
you're not gonna see any results like that's the that's why like Hamza when he
was on business when he was going into business focusing on building his
business he only went to the gym one day a week to maintain so if one day a week
is maintaining at the gym and you are just trying to start out the gym that
means you're gonna maintain your already zero physique like if you're just
trying to get to the gym if you're just trying to build your physique and you
go one day a week which is dipping your toes in the water you're just gonna be
maintaining what you already have which is nothing so that's basically what I'm
doing right now I'm essentially maintaining what I already have in my
business which is nothing so I have to either go all in or just not even do
anything so I'm kind of at a crossroads right now in my life where there's
definitely things are gonna be changing in the future like there's no point in
going on further like this like there's no point in spreading myself so thin to
where I'm trying to improve like all these different things so I either drop
everything and go back into just focusing on my health just focus on going to the
gym and realize that I'm not gonna be making any money and then go down that
path of I'm probably gonna have to go get a job go to college like all these
things or I drop everything else like going to the gym every like all these
times drop my routine and I drop all this stuff and just focus on business so I
have to I have two choices and I'm gonna choose the business side because what
like what why would I go back when I'm already like I know what the like
negatives are of both I know what the negatives are of not working on business
at this point of of my life so I'm working on business but the thing is I
realized that people infest their entire life so I realized that like the
difference okay so one of my favorite phrases is the difference between
successful people and normal people are and what I realized is after learning
these things in these recent days is that successful people go all in on their
thing they go all in on their business just like I went all in on building my
physique but there's one issue I don't really know what my business is because
I'm kind of having doubts about this like podcast like for the past couple
months I thought that I was gonna be able to build a business off of this
podcast but I'm in the middle of reading a book called rework so I am still
reading Transurfing and I was reading it this morning but I like had a stomach
ache all day today and like really bad diarrhea so I was literally like using
the bathroom probably 50 times today and so I was not really feeling anything
and so I was basically just reading all day and I didn't want to read
Transurfing because I wanted to read outside of my room in a comfortable
spot like on the couch and I didn't want to read Transurfing on the couch
because it's a big book and I was gonna have to take notes so I was reading
rework which was a book that was sitting in my closet for quite some time and I'm
only reading it because I feel like I can finish it in this weekend it's like a
300 page book but it's there's like barely any words and there's a lot of
pictures so I'm already halfway done with it and I just read for like four
hours today maybe but in rework it's basically like a business book it's
about entrepreneurship and I'm learning like all of the strategies and mindsets
behind a successful business owner or their term was a startup or like not a
startup a start I don't know they had a term they didn't like using an
entrepreneur and they didn't like using business owner it was something else I
forgot but I'm reading this book and I'm realizing that I don't even know what
I'm doing like okay I know what to do the thing is I I'm learning all these
business books they're extremely helpful with general mindsets and what to do but
I don't know how to do it so I know I know to get a business idea like they
they say find something that you would like to like make a product or solve a
problem that you're experiencing but I don't really know what like how to do
that like I I'm also reading a Transurfing which kind of tells you how to
do that but the thing is I am kind of in this phase where I'm inexperienced at
Transurfing and I also like don't really know I just don't know how to do all
this stuff like they're telling me the strategies but I don't know how to
actually go out on these strategies so I know exactly what I need to do once I
find an idea that like once I find my business thing well like once I find the
business idea I know exactly what to do once I find that but I don't know what to
do in the meantime like I don't know how to do that so I'm at this like I'm at
the crossroads where I'm kind of just maintaining what I'm doing right now by
recording every day so basically maintaining my routine but I'm also
realizing that I need to figure out like what business I'm actually doing and
that brings me to the next point like I don't know what I don't know if this
podcast is actually beneficial or not like the thing is one of the early
reasons why I wanted to do daily one-hour podcasts is because of the
practice like I've gotten like a hundred hours of practice by now but the
thing is I've gotten to the point where I've kind of plateaued for my podcast so
I'm not really improving too much and so I have to figure out how to improve the
quality otherwise and I don't really know how to but it's also the thing is
that in in my day sorry I there's a lot of distractions going on upstairs and I
can really I don't know if you guys can hear it but you can hear like all of the
creeks and all the steps people make upstairs in my house and it's just
really distracting so sorry about that but like I don't know if this podcast is
actually helping me because I had this vision of once I got a certain amount of
viewers listening to the podcast I was gonna actually start the business off of
the podcast but I don't even know like what product I would make because I don't
feel like an expert like a couple days or a couple weeks ago I definitely felt
like an expert in my field but the thing is more the more I'm studying and one of
the things that I said I was gonna do is be a guest speaker on other podcasts and
I was like doing research finding other podcasts in my like niche and first of
all I didn't really know like what my niche was I think it's like secrets of
success and I also think it's like like your thoughts like how your thoughts
actually affect your success so like all these things and so I was like looking
up those keywords in Apple podcasts today and I saw all these different
podcasts literally called secrets of success and I was looking at them and the
hosts were literally like extremely like they were experts 100% they were
already successful in what they preach like for me I kind of feel like an
imposter because I'm preaching all this success stuff but I haven't been
successful at it yet so I don't think that it would work very well to create a
business off of this like maybe this is just a documentation thing and maybe this
is actually just meant for me to practice the skills of podcasting for
something else in the future or maybe this is what I'm supposed to do I don't
know like the thing is that I know all this knowledge you would think that the
path would be so clear but it's not like I don't know what I'm doing I have no
idea what to do and I'm just trying to figure it out and today I was like so
tired and I was getting like the headache again or like the headrush this
morning and today was just a really low point like this morning was I was really
like the lowest point I've been in a few months just because I was like I kind of
feel sick I kind of feel tired or burnt out I'm not sure what it is but this
morning like my actual physical health was not very great like I said I'd die
but that wasn't even the worst of it it was just like super tired and I was
getting headaches and also headrushes literally just didn't even want to walk
around and I it got to the point where I was like I knew about transfer fee and I
knew I was basically choosing all this stuff and then I was it got to the point
where I was all of a sudden I was just like okay life I yield I literally just
said that in my mind I was like okay I yield so what do I do and then nothing
happened and then I was just laying there on the couch and then literally a
couple minutes later this like intuitive understanding popped up in my head and
I was trying to figure out like how to actually get out of this situation because
I've done something like that before where I had a very bad stomach ache and
then I it wasn't getting any better and then I like kind of got out of it by
following the transfer from principles but I didn't really know how to do it
today for some reason or I wasn't willing to and so I it got to a breaking point
where I was like I yield and the pit the intuition that I came to was two
things first of all like don't worry about the past or the future just focus
on this present so it was kind of like an intuitive understanding of the fact
that the past doesn't matter like one of the things I was also stressing on was
the fact that I may have wasted the past hundred days recording this podcast I
may have wasted the past hundred days not working on business and kind of just
distracting myself so I was also stressing about that so that's kind of
like the past and then the future is I don't know if I'm gonna be successful
like I have all these doubts in my mind and I'm like am I actually gonna see
success like how how do I do this like I know what all these people who are
successful are doing I know what to do but I don't know how to do it and so a
lot of doubts were creeping in my mind so that was like the two things that I
needed fixed this morning was the doubts of the past or the the regret of the
past the doubts of the future as well as my actual physical health like my
physical well-being so those are the two the three things I needed fixed and the
solution to that was don't worry about the past or the future like don't worry
about the past or the future just focus on the present like literally the future
or the past does not even exist just focus on the present and I was like okay
and I applied that and I was like just focus on the present staying awake
present and then I fell asleep and I was thinking about the past and the future
again and I was like oh no get back to the moment the present moment is is this
am I doing like what needs to be done or am I improving my current situation just
take take life moment by moment just live in the present and make sure you
apply the transfer from principles moment by moment and so that's basically
what I was doing and I'm it wasn't like perfect I wasn't like awake and present
the whole day I was falling asleep a lot but it definitely helped me get out of
that rut and then so that that just focused on the present moment helped
me get rid of the doubts of the future and the regrets of the past but I also
needed one more thing helped with was my actual physical health my physical
condition and that brings me to the second intuitive understanding that I
got literally like I'm pretty sure I got it maybe a few moments
after the first one or I got them all at the same I don't know I don't know but
that second intuitive understanding was am I dreaming because I was literally
just like I hadn't asked myself is this a dream in quite some time maybe a few
days and then that like little just question popped in my head I was like
oh am I dreaming right now and so I was like I did like all the tests to see if
I was awake or not and like that in like got me extremely conscious of what was
going on and I realized that that's a good test not just to help get into loose
dreams but it's a good test to make sure that you're not a victim like all
morning I was feeling like a victim of this like whatever was happening to my
physical body also yesterday I was feeling like a victim and I didn't
really know how to control my situation I didn't know how to take charge of my
destiny or at least I wasn't willing to and then that intuition popped in my
head which was am I dreaming which serves two purposes the lucid dreaming
part which at that moment did not really matter but the most important purpose
of all is to make sure you're not a victim because at that moment I realized
that I was just I was just acting like a victim I thought that I was a victim of
the circumstances to my like whatever was happening to my body and so the
moment I was like no I'm not a victim I'm like in charge of what's going on and
from that moment onwards I realized like oh I can actually control my destiny or
I can actually change my relationship to what's going on and I'm not gonna lie
it didn't it definitely helped to a piece of mind and like end the doom and
gloom but like even right now I still have like a slight stomach ache and like a
slight head whatever it is but it definitely helped like it didn't it may
not have helped too much on the physical side but it definitely helped like
mental and definitely I think my like the head rushes are not as bad as this
morning though so that's pretty much like the two intuitions that I came to
today so I wrote a lot of notes and they were kind of out of order for today's
episode so I want to go back to me questioning if this podcast is even
like worth it or if this podcast is even helping me one first of all I
understand that it's not gonna happen right away like I'm not gonna start
making money right away and I understand that even a hundred days is still a
short period of time to actually start making money so I understand that I'm
still like kind of in the short term for the podcast and it's a long-term game
so I understand that I probably would not see results until a couple months or
half of a year from now but the thing is that
beside all that when I was reading rework there was one chapter or one like
sub chapter in it that was talking about like you have to be good at quitting
like you have to ask yourself why are you doing what you're doing like why are
you doing that and one of the things that they said is like most people are
doing it because someone else told them to do it and like when they asked me why
are you doing what you're doing I actually thought about my podcast and
doubts started to rise well I mean doubts were already like lingering about
this podcast or not and so I asked myself why are you doing what you're doing
for the podcast and then the next line in that book was like most people are
doing it because someone else told them to and I instantly thought of literally
the whole reason why I started this podcast was because I read in a book
called expert secrets by Russell Brunson if you record on your if you post every
day for an entire year you'll never have to worry about money yet like that's
why I'm doing it because someone else told me to do it so that's not a very
good why and one of the things that I have definitely seen in quite a few
business books was you have to find your why and to be honest I don't think I
have a why for my podcast why am I doing this because Russell Brunson told me to
like that's not a good why and then the next thing is the next like line was you
have to figure out like why are you doing it so I'm not sure I like one thought
popped up in my mind like I want to document my journey but I'm not I'm not
really sure I'm like having a lot of doubts right now and I don't even know
kind of in like a suspended state where I don't really know how to move forward
and I don't really know what to do I don't know what business to pursue it's
kind of like how when I was first starting business over a summer I remember
I just started reading these books and I was like my one task like I just wanted
to figure out what business to start and literally took me like a month and so I
got to the point where I was at like my family vacation and that was my entire
task for that my only task for the entire week was to wake up and literally
filter all events that happened to me through the question or through the
filter of can I make a business out of this like that was really what I did I
discovered a few like trash business ideas but one of the ones that hit me
that I started to pursue was like basically create a vacation home rental
website which at the time I thought was revolutionary because my grandparents
were complaining about how they had to use an agent so I thought it was perfect
like opportunity but I realized that like Airbnb verbo I think verbo yeah
verbo like all these other like things are already doing that so that whatever
and then I found a few other ideas like one of the ideas that I actually used
to start pursuing was acne business which I'm not even passionate about acne at
all it's just it was called stop acne and I actually filed it on Zen business
but thankfully they didn't like file it to the state right away and I was able
to edit it and change it to ascend momentum and changed it to like something
I'm passionate about which is self-improvement and like that's like
that was the suspended state where I experienced like I didn't know where to
even start so I felt like I wasn't really achieving much and I'm kind of
experiencing that right now where I'm kind of thinking that this idea is not
that great or it's not even gonna work and I'm also aware that maybe this is
just the resistance and maybe I am on the right path and I'm just really close
where I'm about to I'm like right next to the gold but I'm about to give up so I
don't know that's why I'm continuing to record until I figure out like where my
path is because I I feel like the path will hopefully get a little clearer when
the days go by
okay so this morning another conclusion that I came to like right when I had that
epiphany of just being present and not worrying about the past or the future
and then I also had the epiphany of are you dreaming like not being the victim
to circumstance then I immediately like went down to the basement and wrote it
down in my episode notes because I wanted to talk about it today and then I
went back upstairs and I had a few other or I had a few other epiphany's which
was like why am I doing all this because someone told me to which I just talked
about find my why and then like I have to figure out why am I doing this like you
can definitely find your why after you started it so I just remember reading in
a book called create don't capture Eric Thane he had a successful business and
then he found his why like he didn't find his why until well after his business
was well established so you can definitely go without a why for a little
bit at time so maybe I'm just worried about like all these little details and
not really worried about the big picture but the next thing that I remembered
or the next epiphany that I had and this was in the morning when I was in this
like really low state like I was just talking about when I was just feeling
physically ill just bad everything and my mental was not very controlled all
this stuff and I was like trying to fight all this I was like I'm having an
off-day and I'm I was trying to fight it and then this thought like like appeared
in my mind like it's okay to have off days they're normal stop fighting it and
accept it like and then the moment that I just like stopped fighting it and
accepted it it also started to get better so like all these things kind of
happened around the same time so I actually don't think that this epiphany
actually came to me when I actually needed it I think the epiphany that
actually changed things was the am I dreaming am I the victim of circumstances
and then I kind of later after the fact tried to come up with like a
explanation to it and it was that it was like stop it's okay to have off days
everyone has them just stop fighting it and accept it so I just stopped fighting
my off day and that's like that definitely helped and then okay I want to
talk about like where I'm headed in my business and just in life in general
because one-hour episodes for something I'm not even sure like one-hour daily
episodes for something I'm not even sure of is even helping me it's probably not
like help it's definitely hurting my progress in business so if I'm not even
100% sure that this is actually good business idea then it's probably just
hurting me more so one of the things that I came to the conclusion is I'm
gonna maintain this one-hour daily episodes I'm gonna maintain it for the
time being but I'm gonna be on the lookout for my actual path my actual and
it may just turn out that this is my actual path and I'm just being an idiot
but I like I'm gonna maintain this current routine and look out for a
business idea and then work on and then once I get into that I'm gonna dive a
hundred percent of my time into that and just the decision I made right now I'm
gonna maintain this podcast just like once a week just giving updates still
documenting the journey but that could change in the future like I could just
decide to stop it all together because it's probably it's it may not even be
helping me but right now I'm I still plan on maintaining the podcast in some
form or another but I but kind of my path my task right now is to come up with a
business idea to actually pursue and actually dive full all my time into and
I've already started to come up with certain plans on how to change my day
around for example I was gonna do I was gonna fast every single day like not do
full fasts like Al Sirmosi did two days of an a full fast like he didn't eat at
all in the entire day but I was gonna fast every single day like do an
intermittent fast every single day and with wake up in my normal time don't do
my routine I would just wake up do my routine up until I shower so I would
wake up drink all my supplements and water and then I would use the bathroom
brush my teeth all that stuff and then shower and then I would meditate and then
get straight into my day like get straight into working so I'd basically
start around like five o'clock in the morning five ten around in the morning
and then work until whatever time like right now at my school so I'd basically
have to work until like 7 20 so I get like two solid hours every single day
but then like once I'm done with school or on the weekends I would probably work
until like 12 or something like that and I'd figure out the rest later but
pretty much I realized that there's another thing that he said all that
remains is the work to be done like I'm just distracting myself with all this
stuff on my routine like me balancing on my medicine ball me going out for a walk
every morning me doing all this stuff maybe even meditating I'm not sure all
this stuff I am distracting myself and all that remains all that's actually
gonna help me move forward all that's gonna get me forward and push me forward
in my business in my life is the work like the work needs to be done and
that's what needs to be done in order to achieve success and I've been
distracting myself with all this routine to the point where I don't even have any
time to do the work I don't even know what business idea to do like I'm having
dots like me having doubts about this podcast topples like the past hundred
days of work that I've been doing like the only thing that I've been doing for
past hundred days was just working on the podcast and now I'm having doubts of
you if this is even like beneficial or helpful to me or looking at help me move
forward in my in my future in my like business and another thing so I read in
rework and I don't remember the exact like phrasing they used but pretty much a
half of like amazing product so if you have an like a half of an idea but you
execute very well then that is better than full of half ASS product that's
basically what they said so it's better to not have a complete but very good
quality versus a complete but very bad quality so I read that and I didn't
really think of it much but then when I was like sitting down here writing my
show notes trying to think of like things to talk about that happened today
and that I learned today I this thought popped them in my head and I was like am
I spamming a bunch of trash like I'm posting three TikToks every day
unedited not like just posted like I just took one take for recording that might
just had one try and then edit error I didn't edit like I just recorded and
then posted and then on my podcast is the same thing one take just one hour of
unedited stuff so I'm asking myself am I just record am I just spamming a bunch
of trash maybe that maybe that's why I'm losing a bunch of followers on this
podcast like I used to have seven followers and now I have five like I
lost two followers this month which yeah two followers not that much to lose but
that's like a quarter of my entire follower base and yet like seven and
four or five is a very small number in the first place so it's not really that
big of a deal but like people are leaving so and these small numbers seem big
when one person leaves people are leaving and like when people leave it's
because they don't want like they're just not watching it anymore which is
probably because it's like bad quality so I question if I'm if I'm just spamming
a bunch of trash because I don't edit anything I don't like the only thing
that I'm getting better at is the actual quality of my own voice just because I
have getting the reps in practicing every day but like I said earlier I I feel
like I'm plateauing like I've gotten a hundred hours of podcasting practice and
I'm not really quite sure how to improve other than that because in 10x is easier
than 2x he said that he basically debunked the myth of the 10,000 hour rule
like there's a saying that if you have 10,000 hours of practice in something
you're an expert but in 10x is using 2x he basically said that that's not
actually true because if you just have 10,000 mindless hours and you're not
really you're just kind of doing the same thing over and over and over again
then you're not gonna get much benefit you're just gonna plateau but 10,000
iterations is where it's actually better because and then he went on to talk about
how like athletes like football players they watch their game film after playing
and they're actually able to see that outside observer a different perspective
of their own game that's an iteration because they see where they went wrong
and they they fixed it so I was also conscious of that a couple weeks ago
when I read that book and I was like oh maybe I should actually go back and
listen to some of my content and see where I can improve didn't do that too
lazy I guess or it's because I don't have enough time in my day because I am so
jam-packed on my routine so I've gotten a hundred hours but I'm not really getting
much more iterations because I don't know where I can like improve on so that's
why I asked if I'm just posting a bunch of trash and that brings me to the last
thing which I've already talked about but I want to talk about a little bit more
like I I've been saying like the difference between the greats and the
average is this and that but what I'm realizing like one thing that heard from
an actual great like I was from OZ he said the difference between like the
greats they don't have more on their plate they actually have less on their
plate I don't think he said exactly like that but pretty much what I mean by
that is the greats figure out they don't figure out what to add to the routine
they figure out what to get rid of what to take away like I'm pretty sure I don't
I just inferred that from the fact that Alex from OZ said in that video I was
talking about that I saw last night he basically said that he didn't take any
meetings from 4 a.m. to 12 p.m. so I inferred that he like basically woke up
prior like 3 30 or 4 a.m. and then just worked until for like eight hours until
12 so I inferred that he basically worked from from like 4 a.m. to 12 p.m. which
means that he literally got rid of his entire routine and just focused on the
work that needs to be done like you have to ask yourself what are you gonna move
forward on what's gonna help you move forward well the work the work is like
the business is actually what's gonna help you propel you in life like a couple
months ago when I actually decided to get into business like in towards the
beginning of summer I I was really getting into like estrogenics and like
improving my health but it got like expensive and I realized that I needed
to start making my own money so I can actually improve my health on like with
my own money and so that was like I kind of forgot where I was going with this
I kind of just lost all my train of thought but let me get some water
you
so some things may be changing in the future I'm on episode 102 I've actually
posted 95 episodes so far as a recording and I'm questioning I don't even know
like I'm already in the top like more than I'm already higher than the top 1%
of podcasters in the world so I've already proven that I'm in here for the
long game but I'm not even I'm right now I'm kind of questioning if my podcast is
fundamentally flawed like did I start it for the wrong reason did am I just doing
it for the money I'm not quite sure am I spam do I have the wrong like morals am
I just spamming a bunch of trash and also the thing is I'm I'm definitely
dipping my toes in the water and I'm just becoming conscious of this I wanted
to still be improving my gym physique I still wanted to improve my physique I
still I still want to do all this stuff and improve all this stuff but I
realized that that like I said I have to go all in I have to have to go all in
on what I want to truly what I want to grow because it's when I first started I
wanted to do it because of the my health but it's progressed to more than that I
want I just I want to be free it's progressed more to me from me like wanting
to buy my own products to me wanting to buy my own fruit me wanting to live at
my own house me wanting to be financially free me wanting to travel the
world and do whatever I want me wanting the world to be my playground like
that's what my kind of goals have or my desires have progressed to and I remember
reading the four-hour work week he was giving me very good I just I just read
it once towards the beginning of me getting into entrepreneurship and he was
talking about how he has trained people like he basically had you map out your
like dream escape some pretty sure it was cool it's called it's pretty much
where you map out where you see yourself in six or 12 months so I mapped out in
six months because that was the end of the year at the time it was like June
it was like June and so it was like June or July so like six months from that
point would have been the end of the year so it'd been like 2024 so that seemed
like a very good marker to map out and I I said that I wanted to go on a mountain
trip and then I also wanted to like go to Spain for like three months and learn
Spanish there is one other thing like I wanted to have a successful business or
something like that and he basically said map that out for six months and then
figure out like how much money you would have to make per month if you were to pay
for these things on credit so if you were to basically pay for these over the
course of six months how much would you have to make per month and it was probably
like just ten thousand or something like that ten thousand dollars I think it was
much less than that but I'd upped it to ten thousand dollars a month so that was
like my goal by
by January 1st like that was my in my lake on what's the word I don't even
know the word that was my goal for January 1st from six months and he
basically gave me like a very high hope like he has helped people get achieve
their goals in a much shorter period of time than that and then I didn't follow
his like model his plan and then I kind of like as you guys have heard in this
past episode I kind of went off track kind of just worked on the podcast and
I'm not really sure like what this is leading to I kind of lost my vision
maybe it's just my mental shifting because I'm like not in a good state of
health right now maybe it's that because I definitely know that that's a thing
because back when I was training for all I wanted to do was make the high school
soccer team and I was training relentlessly and then I got injured and I
knew that my like I thought that my chances were up and I wasn't gonna be able
to make it so once I got injured I just lost all hope and gave up everything
just dropped everything in my life and that was like I was not a good state of
physical health because I was injured and I was like mentally like extremely
low so maybe I'm just in a low state of mental health but who knows only time
will tell but it seems like I've been trending downwards over the past couple
weeks I remember like in the episodes 90s I was already having doubts of whether
one-hour episodes is even like good or not like once I stopped reading
Transurfing once I finished it reading the second time I was having doubts of
if I can even maintain one-hour episodes daily so there's a lot of things and I
did I did one thing today that was actually helping me towards my goal
which was I got my employer identification number which is just
something that you need to open a bank account so I got that today for like
literally an entire month and a half like a whole probably like 90 day or no
40 days after when I said I was gonna do it is when I actually did it but at least
I actually did it so that's something but I kind of ran out of things to say for
this episode and I wonder why I even worry about one-hour long episodes
because I'm sure this the algorithm doesn't really care of the difference
between a 59 minute long episode and a one-hour episode because it's basically
the same thing and like the difference between a 59 episode and a one-hour long
episode is the same as the difference between a one-hour long episode and a
one-hour one-minute episode so that I think that it's also been ingrained in
my identity that I record daily one-hour episodes on my podcast so that's why I'm
having such a hard time switching off of it even though it's literally been like
two weeks since I over two weeks since I realized that this is probably not the
best thing so that's make sure that you got to be very careful with your identity
and that's something that I need to listen to myself say but that's it for
today's episode so if you enjoyed it follow for more and have a good day
