1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000 Do you value identity? 2 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,920 Do you value your identity? Do you? 3 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,920 Well a lot of people I 4 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,080 included have a very destructive habit of 5 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,320 using I am statements 6 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,720 So I just became aware of this 7 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,040 yesterday when 8 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:29,560 Yesterday I was having a really rough day. I'm not gonna lie and so I I 9 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:37,080 Was like questioning if my routine is good or not and then I remember seeing a video by Alex Hormozzi 10 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,100 Basically saying like your routine is keeping you weak 11 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:47,840 and so I went and watched that video after recording yesterday's episode and 12 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,000 It was 13 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,920 It was not exactly what I was expecting it to be 14 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:01,600 And I'm not quite sure how to actually apply what he said because he was basically saying 15 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,000 It was many different it was like 16 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,960 multi-part video and the part where he was actually talking about the routine was 17 00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:21,640 Basically he was saying that if you wake up and drink coffee and you need coffee every day 18 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:28,920 Then that's keeping you weak if you need sleeping pills every night to fall asleep. Well, then that's keeping you weak 19 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:36,360 That kind of routine and I'm not quite sure if he was talking about like actual routine like the kind that 20 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,920 You do the same thing every day at the same time 21 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,240 I'm not quite sure 22 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:48,520 But there was a different there's like I said it was a multi-part episode 23 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,400 video and 24 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,400 in the beginning he was talking about 25 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:59,280 Your identity and he was saying I am statements. So 26 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,880 basically, I was kind of I had an intuitive understanding that 27 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,760 Your identity is a very powerful thing very powerful 28 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:17,080 Just part of you and if you you can like manipulate your identity fairly 29 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:22,920 easily by speaking words and you can also use that to your advantage 30 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:32,240 For example one of the things that I am changing at the moment over the past couple weeks. I talked about this is 31 00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:40,640 In my meditations, I always say I am a man with high standards when it comes to women and 32 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,040 I say that to myself like three times it 33 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:51,880 It during my meditation and there's a lot of other things that I say like I am focused and then I also say I hold 34 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:56,540 No expectations for will for what will or should happen during these meditations 35 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:04,840 and so these are all things that I say to try and change my identity like I 36 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:10,320 Want to change my identity to the point where I don't waste my energy 37 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:16,720 Like lusting over girls. I want to change my identity over 38 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,360 the to the point where I want to 39 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,160 Explore my consciousness and not expect certain results 40 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:32,200 When I'm meditating like your identity is a very powerful thing to manipulate 41 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:41,200 But there's one thing that he brought to my attention and it's just saying I am statements throughout the day like a 42 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,800 Lot of times I 43 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,080 Like over especially over the past couple weeks 44 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:55,840 I've just been becoming aware of this is I say I'm like struggling to 45 00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:03,720 To record daily one-hour episodes when I prove that it's possible for the past 100 episodes 46 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,960 I prove that daily one-hour episodes are possible 47 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:17,200 So I just my identity started to change to the point where I'm actually saying that I'm struggling recording one-hour episodes daily 48 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,680 Now I'm starting to realize that that is actually damaging to me 49 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:29,360 And so what Alex from Ozy said is instead of saying I am used if you really have to say 50 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:36,240 That statement say I have a tendency towards because I am means that you can't change it 51 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:43,880 I am means it's like infinite, but having a tendency towards means that you can change it and you are 52 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,360 It's like the vibe around it like the energy surrounding that statement is 53 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,880 Is basically saying that you are 54 00:04:54,880 --> 00:05:02,520 Working on it like if you say I have a tendency towards who says that like I've never heard anyone say I have a tendency towards 55 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,200 blank like 56 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:12,560 Everyone just says I am and it's because I feel like this also stems from the societies 57 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:20,520 Our societies just norms and the conditioning around it. We we have a tendency to like 58 00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:25,480 Stay trapped and feel like we're trapped and we have a tendency not to like 59 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,360 escape 60 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,640 and so we just say I am a 61 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,720 worker or I 62 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,880 Am 63 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,760 I'm sure I'm having a hard time coming up with stuff, but 64 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:45,040 One of the examples Alex Ramosy said is that for 26 years of his life? 65 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:51,240 He always said I am bad at math. He always thought that he was bad at math until he was 26 years old and 66 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,720 Then once he shifted his identity, then he was actually pretty good at math 67 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,880 Like that's a power of identity 68 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:05,640 And so I'm gonna be I'm gonna be conscious more conscious aware of this over the following 69 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,920 just for the rest of my life and 70 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:17,040 Yesterday yesterday's episode was very down like I was not really 71 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,440 It was a really low point for just my mental 72 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,120 Everything mental I 73 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,760 Was it really I 74 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,480 Just had a low point all around because I 75 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,320 I want to tell a quick story so over the past 76 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,560 actually seven months ago a little over seven months ago I 77 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,600 started reading a book called reality transfer fin and then 78 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:52,320 In that book I started reading it and then I got maybe like 79 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:58,840 200 or 300 pages in and by the way, it's a 750 page book 80 00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:07,280 So I got maybe a quarter of the way a third of the way done and then I just 81 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:12,600 Couldn't take it anymore. I just stopped reading it. I told myself it was because I was bored 82 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,160 But it was in reality was just because 83 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:21,880 My mental was so low. I just this book was destroying my worldview 84 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,000 I was getting destroyed by the truth and I just couldn't handle it 85 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,600 Especially because I was alone.

I 169 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,680 Wanted to I was reading seven books at once because I thought it was gonna be faster 170 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,040 But I did not it was not as efficient or effective for me 171 00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:01,520 And and one of those books was to FD the priestess, which was keeping me in the transfer from mindset 172 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:06,160 And so I decided that I needed just focus on one book at a time 173 00:14:06,680 --> 00:14:10,040 and so I dropped all the books except for die-wise and 174 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:16,240 Die-wise was like my main focus so I dropped to FD and I dropped trans surfing all 175 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,800 like all in general and 176 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,680 over these past like week I was reading die-wise and 177 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,120 The past week when I was reading die-wise I could tell that 178 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,880 Even over the past like multiple weeks since I stopped trans surfing 179 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:42,680 I could tell that the podcast has been like not as high quality because I just don't understand these new books as much because they're just brand new to me 180 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,440 So I'm not able to speak on them as much so I have to basically speak on 181 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:54,960 Different things I just have to come up with an hour of content just out of thin air every single day 182 00:14:54,960 --> 00:15:00,600 Which I was able to do it got harder and harder every single day like for example today 183 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,080 Like I write a few notes before every episode 184 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,040 yesterday I had 185 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,720 Almost a full page of notes 186 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,800 The day before I had like half a page notes, but today I had like two lines of notes 187 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:20,160 So it's actually getting a lot more difficult to come up with things to say 188 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:25,720 Because my days are the same like and I'm not learning anything at school. So schools are waste of time 189 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:32,840 That could also be me not being as intuitive during my day like maybe I'm not actually 190 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:40,960 Growing as much as I should be maybe this is something I should be conscious of because maybe I should actually be 191 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,480 able to speak an 192 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,040 Hour about lessons I learned every single day 193 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,360 Maybe I should 194 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,360 Be more conscious about that 195 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,800 but pretty much 196 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,080 Die wise over the past week I was reading it and I 197 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,600 Like especially over the past week. I was struggling 198 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:07,120 like I don't know if after telling the story of the first time me reading 199 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,600 Transurfing and me like learning the truth 200 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:15,000 After telling that story again today. I kind of have this 201 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:21,880 questioning of whether or not I was experiencing similar thing reading die wise because 202 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,360 after yesterday's episode like an all-time low point I 203 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,160 Was like at a really low point mentally I 204 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:41,520 Was reading die wise yesterday and then I decided after yesterday's episode that I needed to I was like losing it last night during my journaling I 205 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:47,720 Was just like scratch scribbled all over the place because I was like in a fit of rage last night 206 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:53,040 And so I realized that I was kind of losing my Transurfing again 207 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,680 So I decided last night 208 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,040 That I need to start I need to drop everything and just read Transurfing again 209 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:06,480 So that's what I did this morning. I read the first 25 pages of Transurfing. So now I'm reading it again 210 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,960 And this will last like a month 211 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,760 So yes expect to transfer from principles 212 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,840 episodes again in the future 213 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:17,640 but 214 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:25,160 Like I said in the first time I read Transurfing I had no one to talk to about it and I was struggling mentally 215 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:31,520 It was a really low point and then the first time I read die wise which I didn't even finish. I stopped around the same 216 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,440 time like die wise like 300 pages and I got in 217 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,440 One hundred pages in and then I stopped 218 00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:46,360 Transurfing is like 700 pages and I got 200 pages in and then I stopped like about a third of the book I stopped 219 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:55,360 So maybe it's maybe I just couldn't handle die wise because I have no one no one that I know 220 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,720 Not even my friend Franklin is reading die wise 221 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,800 So maybe I just couldn't handle that like 222 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,800 mental burden 223 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,320 Maybe that's why I was like stressing out so much 224 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,840 Who knows I'll only know once I decide to actually read it again 225 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,480 Which I definitely plan on reading and like finishing it in the future 226 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:25,840 But for for the time being I want to focus on Transurfing because that'll give me content 227 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,160 And it also keep me on that wavelength during school 228 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,960 Because it's especially important during school 229 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,560 When I'm when I go to school 230 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,080 Over these past like month 231 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:42,040 I could tell that I was falling asleep a lot more like I was not conscious 232 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,800 And if you don't know what falling asleep means, it's basically you have two 233 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:53,220 Screens like your attention can be focused on two things the inner screen or the outer screen 234 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,800 The inner screen is like anything going on in your body.

I basically said that I'm documenting my journey escaping this matrix 318 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,720 and I truly believe that 319 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,680 The way you escape is just mindset like yesterday 320 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:40,760 In that Alex Mormose video that I watched yesterday about how your routine is keeping you lazy 321 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,400 Or keeping you weak in the beginning 322 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:50,920 He said that there are three components and I did I took notes on the video like I don't watch YouTube and when I do 323 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,920 it's for a definitive purpose and 324 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,760 When I actually do watch it for a very clear purpose 325 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,000 I make sure I take notes because I want to get the most out of it 326 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,320 And so I took some notes and in the beginning he said there's three 327 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:13,160 Components to growing your business and this was like about entrepreneurship. It was basically a video on on entrepreneurship 328 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:18,640 So there's three components to growing your business one skills as an entrepreneur 329 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:20,800 to 330 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:25,120 your character traits as an entrepreneur and three is beliefs and 331 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,240 Your character traits 332 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:34,160 All right, so your skills is basically just I'm pretty sure it's just like your normal 333 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:39,880 Material skills like are you a good speaker at podcasting for my business? 334 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:45,520 Are you good at building funnels?

I'm pretty sure that's what that means and then your character 336 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,800 Your your character traits as an entrepreneur 337 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:04,800 I'm not quite sure what it means, but I I believe that it has something to do with the identity like 338 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:10,520 He was taught like he was talking a lot about your identity like I am statements. I am 339 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:18,280 Bad at math. I am good at math like these I am statements. I'm pretty sure that has to do with your character traits and 340 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:25,480 Then the third one the third component to growing your business as an entrepreneur 341 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:31,880 The third component was your beliefs so your worldview like everything that you believe to be true 342 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,720 so that's why I'm focusing so much on my 343 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,200 worldview because 344 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,480 There's a 345 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,360 Quote that I remember hearing on a Hamza video. He basically said that 346 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:52,120 You should when you're focusing on your business when you're trying to grow your business or even when you're 347 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,640 Actually, yeah, let's just say business 348 00:27:54,640 --> 00:28:00,240 So when you're an entrepreneur we choose to be an entrepreneur and he and you start focusing on growing your business 349 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,240 you 350 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,560 Have like you should follow the 80-20 rule so pretty much 351 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,160 20% of your time 352 00:28:11,120 --> 00:28:18,440 Or actually let me explain this first you figure out what you want to do so for example you want to be a youtuber 353 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:23,040 Okay, so that's what you want to do and then you figure out 354 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:29,880 What what the one task or one like thing is? 355 00:28:30,120 --> 00:28:37,280 That will actually help you improve so for a youtuber the one thing that will help you improve is record videos 356 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,920 not editing videos not commenting on 357 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:48,680 Posts or not replying to your comments like the one thing that will actually help you grow is 358 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:51,840 recording 359 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:56,200 So pretty much you follow the 80-20 rule during your day 360 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:02,320 20% of your day should be focused on just doing that one thing just record and 361 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:12,480 Then the rest of your day the 80% other time available in your day should just be focused on learning about that one thing 362 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:17,680 So just learn about that how to record better how to be a better youtuber 363 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:22,800 That's it like that's how he basically said that's how you become successful 364 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:24,880 and 365 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:31,440 So I was aware of that and I kind of like shifted around so right now like my 366 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:38,880 What I'm trying to do is be a podcaster. I'm but I'm not just like the podcast is not the end game 367 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,640 I'm trying to have the podcast be a like 368 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:48,920 Be the foundation to my business but right now in this stage of my journey the podcast is like my only focus 369 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:56,360 So that's my one that's my thing that I want to do be a podcaster. So then what's the one thing? 370 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:03,200 That you like what's the one thing that will help you be a better podcaster will record 371 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:05,480 and 372 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,480 I was also aware of this 373 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,880 But I don't I'm not quite sure if I was conscious of it when I first started 374 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:18,440 I'd kind of just devise a strategy and then I went with it just from my knowledge and that was part of my knowledge so 375 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:25,920 But that's like my that was my whole plan just focus on recording. So I spend one hour recording and 376 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,480 then I 377 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,480 basically spend the rest of my day or 378 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:32,800 at least 379 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,240 And the rest of the available time I have 380 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:43,200 So I really only have like two hours every day one hour for recording and then one hour for reading in the morning 381 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,120 just the way that my 382 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:50,400 Routine is structured because I meditate a lot in the day and I sleep a lot at night 383 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:58,360 And I go to school. So you know, so like I have a lot of things I do but pretty much in my free time. I just spend 384 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:04,320 One hour reading and one hour recording and that's pretty much it. I don't really edit 385 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,880 Like I don't waste my time editing. I 386 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,600 do however edit like and 387 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,960 Increase the audio quality on podcastle 388 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:22,400 But other than that, I don't really edit. I don't like clip and do cuts or anything 389 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:29,240 So that's my one thing record and then the rest of my day is spent learning about that 390 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:33,200 But I don't learn about how to be a better podcaster sometimes I do like 391 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:40,560 Especially over the past like a couple weeks. I've realized that I've kind of hit a plateau on the quality of my episodes 392 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:45,680 so I had to figure out how to actually improve the quality again and 393 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,560 So I was looking up how to actually be 394 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:55,480 a better podcaster and I was actually looking up how to grow the podcast and 395 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:01,640 So other than that, I'm just learning about the content that I'm speaking about 396 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:08,080 So I'm not just learning about the podcast like I'm not just I'm not learning about how to do a better podcast 397 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,600 I'm learning about how to 398 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:20,960 I'm learning about more the message so and I'm aware of as I'm saying this in a book that I read called 399 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,280 Create don't capture. I read it a couple weeks ago 400 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:26,960 he basically said that 401 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:33,280 that when you're like recording when you're an influencer when you're creating content 402 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:40,200 Don't focus on the message, but focus on the messenger. So focus on the messenger and not the message 403 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:45,760 So don't try I just remember the quote and in hindsight 404 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:50,640 I don't really remember exactly what he meant by that but what I interpreted it as is 405 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,200 Don't focus on improving your message so much 406 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,960 so don't focus on like learning all these 407 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,600 like don't focus on improving your message by 408 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,240 Learning more learning more information. I 409 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,440 kind of have a 410 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:15,160 I'm kind of like questioning that right now. Maybe I should go back and read the book again, but 411 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:23,120 Instead of focusing on the message focus on the messenger, which means that you improve yourself and 412 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,640 when you're documenting your journey your 413 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:30,520 viewers will actually see that improvement in that growth on the journey and 414 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:37,760 That's like them. That's the thing that people actually want to see that growth like that's that's the journey of transformation when 415 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:44,960 In movies, there's two like in most like hero movies or most like 416 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,520 adventure movies or 417 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,680 just think like Star Wars and 418 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,000 And movies like that pretty much there's 419 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,040 there's actually a 420 00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,320 like framework that they follow and 421 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:06,200 Originally like the hero starts in their home and then they like travel off they meet a 422 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:12,360 Like they meet a teacher and then they like there's a whole framework and then 423 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:19,720 And they go on two different journeys one the visible journey is the journey of destination and 424 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:27,440 That is or the journey of accomplishment that that's like the journey that they're taking to achieve this thing 425 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,360 so 426 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,480 I'm trying to think of one 427 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:39,440 So Star Wars, I'm pretty sure the journey of accomplishment would be like he wanted to 428 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:43,040 Basically save the galaxy. That's the accomplishment and 429 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:49,680 On that journey along the along the way there's a hidden journey and that's the journey of transformation 430 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,640 so when you are 431 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:59,800 Basically in order to accomplish that goal you have to actually transform yourself because what got you here won't get you there 432 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:01,520 you have to actually 433 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,520 transform yourself into 434 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:07,120 What will be able to achieve that goal and 435 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:12,960 And so the journey of transformation in Star Wars was like Luke Skywalker wanted to 436 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:20,600 Or he wanted to the journey of accomplishment was he wanted to save the galaxy destroy the Death Star and 437 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,120 then the journey of transformation was 438 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:31,160 When he was training with Yoda and he like had to transform into this like Jedi master essentially 439 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:36,160 That's the journey of transformation and that's like the most rewarding piece as 440 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:37,600 as 441 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,160 viewer to watch like the viewer wants to 442 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,120 Basically see 443 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,080 the person 444 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,840 Transform and so that's why I was focusing on worldview so much 445 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:54,400 One because I knew that that was like the secret that was one of the secrets to success 446 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,840 Like I knew that your worldview and your beliefs were 447 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,520 Vital because the first like 448 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,520 like the first book that I really read that 449 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,000 Became that got me aware of 450 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:12,720 Or one of the first books was reality-transurfing became got me aware of like this matrix that we live in 451 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,920 and I say one of because I read unscripted before and 452 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:19,480 then 453 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,480 That got me aware of the fact that 454 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:26,160 But your beliefs are like keeping you in this prison your worldview is keeping you in this person 455 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,840 like I'm still in 456 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,640 The same place I was 457 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:36,880 on the surface.

It's not just a linear growth like like just one better 486 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:08,880 It's actually like exponentially better just the difference between 100 and 101 is crazy 487 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:14,800 And the more and more posts you make the more and more power it has like long term especially 488 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,760 Because and to connect this with my personal experience 489 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:22,280 I went like I said I went to funnel hacking live a month ago 490 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:27,840 And I had the opportunity to speak to many different entrepreneurs and one person I spoke to 491 00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:36,080 He was from Hungary and he actually had a podcast that he got to like a hundred episodes 492 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:40,560 And then he just stopped recording and that was like in January 493 00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:45,200 He stopped recording and it's October it was September when I talked to him 494 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,320 but it's October now and he's probably hasn't recorded and 495 00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,760 He was telling me that he is still getting like consistent viewers 496 00:39:55,760 --> 00:40:01,040 Like he's still getting a lot of leads and people are still listening to his show 497 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,600 literally like eight months nine months later like 498 00:40:06,240 --> 00:40:13,640 Nine months later. He's still getting people and that's because he built up 100 episodes on his podcast 499 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:18,920 So that's the value. That's a power of consistency over a period of time 500 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,480 and so I'm at a hundred episodes and 501 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:27,320 Right now I have less than a thousand downloads total all time 502 00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:28,800 and 503 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,800 then I also have 504 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:37,440 like five rolling average subscribers, which is like the average amount of people that 505 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,120 unique devices that 506 00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:44,520 watch a 507 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,960 Video within 24 hours and that's the average of your past three videos and 508 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:50,960 and 509 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:57,760 Oh a couple days ago. I was at six and then a couple weeks ago. I was at seven rolling average subscribers 510 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:06,200 So the first month I was at four and then the next month like six and then the next month seven and now I'm down to five 511 00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,440 So I like I dropped 512 00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:16,440 But it's all the same like the difference between four and seven not very big difference. It's all the same 513 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,120 But the big thing is 514 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,360 That over time like right now I'm seeing linear growth 515 00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:28,000 But that's simply because I'm posting every day and I have around the same amount of people 516 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:35,600 Watching every like new episode. So I get like six or seven new downloads every day 517 00:41:37,720 --> 00:41:44,880 So that's like linear growth just every single day it's adding seven downloads to my download total 518 00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:51,760 It's linear growth now, but long-term consistency like I'm in it for the long game 519 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,000 And it's evident because I made it to a hundred episodes 520 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:59,360 Like that's a huge accomplishment. I was proud of myself 521 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:05,040 Reaching 21 episodes because that's you're in the top 1% of podcasters 522 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:07,320 but 523 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,320 Of those top 1% 524 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:16,840 That's your true competition. I remember hearing that like the 99% of people that stopped before 21 525 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,000 Episodes those are not your competition 526 00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:28,240 Those people are too lazy to actually even make it past episode 21 your true competition is that is that 1% and 527 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,280 The further and further you get 528 00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,200 into like recording 529 00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:38,000 The further and further you get more and more episodes in 530 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:45,480 You start to whittle that 1% down and down and down further until you get to like more and more to your truest 531 00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:47,680 competitors 532 00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:52,760 Like episode 21 that was 80 that was like 80 days ago 79 days ago 533 00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,560 That's a long time for people to quit 534 00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:01,120 That's a long time like big opportunity big potential of quitters 535 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,800 So at my point I'm like still 536 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:11,320 Not even seen any success like any real success yet 537 00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:16,600 But I'm just whittling down the competition even more and more so 538 00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:21,160 At my like whenever since I started I've had like a lot 539 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:25,960 So let's just go through the whole journey when I first started I had a 540 00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:28,720 100% 541 00:43:28,720 --> 00:43:34,600 podcasters as a competitor and then once I got to episode 3 like 50% are 542 00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:36,600 Are my competitors and 543 00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:39,440 Then 544 00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,440 Okay, let's actually put numbers to this 545 00:43:42,240 --> 00:43:49,200 Let's say there's a million podcasters in the world. I don't think that's actually true. It's probably a lot more than that 546 00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:51,880 But let's say a million podcasters 547 00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:58,120 So when I first started I had a million competitors and then once I got to episode 3 I 548 00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:00,720 had 500,000 competitors and 549 00:44:00,720 --> 00:44:04,520 Then once I got to episode 21. I 550 00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,240 only had 551 00:44:07,240 --> 00:44:08,880 What is that? 552 00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:14,000 1000 is that 1000 1000 times 100 is 553 00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,520 100,000 so it'd be 10,000 right 554 00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:25,160 10,000 times 100 is a 555 00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:31,800 Million yeah, so once I got to episode 21. I had 10,000 competitors 556 00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:36,720 And these are just random numbers ballpark just to give just put numbers to it 557 00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:41,080 Not even ballpark. I don't even know what the real numbers are but 558 00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:48,320 Episode 21 80 days ago I had 10,000 competitors and 559 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:56,440 The more episodes that go by the more that number whittles down so right now I might have a thousand competitors 560 00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:58,480 I might have 9,000 competitors. I don't know 561 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:06,120 but after every single episode with that long-term consistent growth every single episode is another 562 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:08,640 day of 563 00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:13,880 Dropping another competitor another day of competitors dropping out of the race and 564 00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:19,520 So in the initial start 1 million people were fighting over 565 00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:28,960 Let's just say there are a hundred million eyeballs or a hundred million ears a hundred million viewers listening to podcasts in the world 566 00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:34,440 Again, I don't know these numbers. I'm just giving random numbers just for 567 00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:37,480 argument's sake 568 00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,920 So let's say there's a hundred million people listening to podcasts 569 00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:46,840 So when I first started I was competing against 1 million creators 570 00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,840 For those 100 million people 571 00:45:52,600 --> 00:46:00,040 To listen to the podcast so it makes sense that I was just fighting for scraps because the people that were in it for the long term the people 572 00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:05,200 That were actually recorded for years. They had the majority of people 573 00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:07,880 so then when I 574 00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:15,920 Got to episode three instantly I was only competing against 500,000 other people and 575 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:22,760 Then once I got to episode 21 only 10,000 people I'm competing against and 576 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:25,920 the further and further along 577 00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:31,920 Like right now, let's just say I'm only competing against 1000 other podcasts and 578 00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,600 Let's say a hundred of those are 579 00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:37,920 Are actually the popular ones that? 580 00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:40,840 So let's follow the 80-20 rule right now 581 00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:47,920 Right now. I'm at episode 100 and I'm competing against a thousand other podcasts for 100 million 582 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,480 people people's attention and 583 00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:57,320 100 of my competitors are the big fish in this sea and they're the people that 584 00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:02,720 Have been in it for the long term and they've been like resilient against time and they can actually 585 00:47:02,720 --> 00:47:06,040 They're the ones who actually have like 586 00:47:07,240 --> 00:47:09,240 90% of the 587 00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:16,560 Like viewers so those hundred people that I'm can those hundred top dogs. I'm competing against 588 00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:24,240 They have 90% of the viewers so that leaves me and the 589 00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:28,180 900 other competitors fighting for the scraps 590 00:47:28,180 --> 00:47:31,980 competing against each other fighting for the scraps for 591 00:47:34,500 --> 00:47:37,860 only like 10 million viewers and 592 00:47:39,620 --> 00:47:41,620 the like 593 00:47:42,060 --> 00:47:43,740 Let's just say 594 00:47:43,740 --> 00:47:45,340 I'm at 595 00:47:45,340 --> 00:47:50,340 1000th place total so that means that I get like the bottom of the bucket 596 00:47:50,340 --> 00:47:57,320 It's like a exponential growth graph if you've seen a 597 00:47:58,500 --> 00:48:00,780 Graph where it just goes it starts 598 00:48:01,660 --> 00:48:08,620 Small and then like very quickly it gets like super tall and gets like grows super high 599 00:48:09,820 --> 00:48:16,860 Like it takes a while it may take a while to get to that like part where you actually start to grow 600 00:48:16,860 --> 00:48:23,340 Exponentially but once you actually grow exponentially you're at like the top a hundred competitors 601 00:48:23,340 --> 00:48:29,780 So then that means you you have access to those like hundred those 90 million viewers 602 00:48:32,020 --> 00:48:37,380 That was a lot of numbers that I threw around and I'm even I'm having a hard time keeping up and 603 00:48:38,140 --> 00:48:43,740 Following that so I'm sorry if I lost you guys there, but like that just 604 00:48:43,740 --> 00:48:50,060 This is one of the tools that I use to keep pushing forward first of all discipline 605 00:48:50,060 --> 00:48:54,700 Is like the number one tool to keep pushing forward and just keep going and 606 00:48:55,540 --> 00:48:58,740 It also is comforting knowing the knowledge that 607 00:48:59,340 --> 00:49:04,940 Eventually I'll make it like it's comforting seeing other people that have gone down this path before 608 00:49:04,940 --> 00:49:07,460 that's why fun lacking live was very great for me because 609 00:49:08,140 --> 00:49:11,900 there was a few speakers that did social media and 610 00:49:11,900 --> 00:49:15,540 They like posted videos or they posted 611 00:49:16,860 --> 00:49:20,700 screenshots of their analytics graph and in the beginning it was just like 612 00:49:21,380 --> 00:49:27,740 Latlined like there was no viewers and then just randomly around like month five or four or six or whatever 613 00:49:27,740 --> 00:49:29,740 It just started to skyrocket 614 00:49:30,300 --> 00:49:35,260 So like that knowledge is comforting like that keeps you pushing forward 615 00:49:35,260 --> 00:49:43,140 But one of the best things is to combine that knowledge and create a story for yourself and just basically try and like 616 00:49:44,380 --> 00:49:46,380 Figure out how the system works 617 00:49:46,700 --> 00:49:52,660 Like I just spent like the past ten minutes telling a story to you guys and myself about how 618 00:49:54,100 --> 00:49:58,300 The system works even though I have no clue if that is actually how it works 619 00:49:58,300 --> 00:50:03,780 But that's just what I assume from all the stories that I heard like I figured that it the 620 00:50:03,780 --> 00:50:06,420 like the entry 621 00:50:08,380 --> 00:50:10,100 Requirement is 622 00:50:10,100 --> 00:50:14,580 For like having your podcast grow is standing the test of time 623 00:50:15,460 --> 00:50:17,460 Like I've only been here for a hundred days 624 00:50:17,460 --> 00:50:23,160 So it makes sense that I'm fighting for scraps against all the other people that have been here for a hundred days 625 00:50:24,500 --> 00:50:30,380 And the test of time is like years there's some I was looking at the other 626 00:50:30,380 --> 00:50:34,060 day I was figuring out trying to learn how to actually I 627 00:50:34,900 --> 00:50:38,060 Don't remember what it was, but I was like trying to figure out how to 628 00:50:39,060 --> 00:50:41,060 grow your podcast and 629 00:50:41,860 --> 00:50:44,620 there was one graph that they threw up and 630 00:50:45,620 --> 00:50:47,420 it was 631 00:50:47,420 --> 00:50:49,580 basically a graph of percentage of 632 00:50:50,220 --> 00:50:51,900 High casters 633 00:50:51,900 --> 00:50:52,980 who 634 00:50:52,980 --> 00:50:59,340 Actually make money off of the podcast and it was like a low income and a high income 635 00:50:59,340 --> 00:51:00,660 and 636 00:51:00,660 --> 00:51:02,660 it like the x-axis was 637 00:51:04,100 --> 00:51:12,580 Like years or like the time so in the beginning it was like the majority of the percentage of podcasters in 638 00:51:13,500 --> 00:51:16,980 like the first couple months were 639 00:51:18,100 --> 00:51:22,700 Like not making any money the majority were low income and then 640 00:51:23,620 --> 00:51:27,460 like slowly but surely the high income started to raise slightly and 641 00:51:27,460 --> 00:51:29,460 then 642 00:51:29,460 --> 00:51:38,060 The turning point was at like month 24 more than month 24. So once you reach month 24 of 643 00:51:39,260 --> 00:51:41,260 Having a podcast 644 00:51:41,300 --> 00:51:44,660 That's when the majority of the podcasters who have been 645 00:51:45,940 --> 00:51:47,380 recording 646 00:51:47,380 --> 00:51:51,060 for 24 months are high income 647 00:51:52,820 --> 00:51:55,340 Earners in the podcast world 648 00:51:55,340 --> 00:51:59,660 So that's another milestone two years 649 00:51:59,660 --> 00:52:08,660 It may take two years to start making money, but that means is that's pretty much a guarantee if you can 650 00:52:09,220 --> 00:52:16,180 Stand the test of time for two years. You're pretty much guaranteed to be making some big money like two whole years 651 00:52:16,820 --> 00:52:18,820 like I am just in 652 00:52:18,820 --> 00:52:26,420 In senior year of high school, I'm still a high school student and I started summer going into senior year 653 00:52:27,020 --> 00:52:29,620 so that means one year will be 654 00:52:30,220 --> 00:52:35,820 Summer going into freshman year of college, which by the way, I'm not going to college, but I'm just giving like 655 00:52:37,020 --> 00:52:44,180 General numbers of the path that I was supposed to be going down like the path that everyone around me is going down 656 00:52:44,180 --> 00:52:48,660 Like a couple of years ago left to my own like 657 00:52:49,660 --> 00:52:56,780 Left alone my default path would have been to go to college because that's just everyone around me in my town 658 00:52:56,780 --> 00:53:01,180 Go to college like people ask like where you go into college 659 00:53:01,180 --> 00:53:07,420 Like that's just the the question that people ask because it's kind of a given everyone like 99% of 660 00:53:07,820 --> 00:53:09,820 students at my school go to college 661 00:53:09,820 --> 00:53:16,820 So pretty much I like to compare myself to where I would be if I stayed on that path 662 00:53:16,940 --> 00:53:20,620 So I started my podcast going into senior year 663 00:53:20,620 --> 00:53:27,980 So that means I'd be on episode 365 going into freshman year and then I would be two years in like through 664 00:53:28,740 --> 00:53:31,500 720 I think is two years of 665 00:53:32,540 --> 00:53:34,540 recording I'd be like 666 00:53:34,540 --> 00:53:39,420 I'd be two years in going into sophomore year of college 667 00:53:40,580 --> 00:53:44,780 So that means that I'd pretty much be guaranteed to be a high-income earner 668 00:53:46,420 --> 00:53:49,820 Based on the stats obviously it's not a guarantee, but just 669 00:53:50,300 --> 00:53:55,340 Based off the stats the majority the far majority are high-income earners two years in 670 00:53:56,740 --> 00:54:01,740 As a sophomore in college like most people are still racking up the debt in college 671 00:54:01,740 --> 00:54:08,380 So just that simple stat if you just focus on podcasting it goes to show that 672 00:54:10,420 --> 00:54:14,060 That we are living in a rigged society like people are 673 00:54:15,300 --> 00:54:21,940 Basically ignorant to the fact that they're way more optimal and effective ways to make money 674 00:54:22,980 --> 00:54:26,540 Like people think that the way to actually live 675 00:54:26,540 --> 00:54:30,860 a 676 00:54:30,860 --> 00:54:32,860 Get a actually make money is by going to college getting in debt 677 00:54:33,620 --> 00:54:41,100 Wasting four years of your life working towards a piece of paper that says your name and a diploma and then 678 00:54:42,740 --> 00:54:48,900 You get a terrible job and then you have to figure out how to like get like you you know how it works 679 00:54:49,420 --> 00:54:51,420 the rat race basically 680 00:54:51,420 --> 00:55:00,260 So people are ignorant to the knowledge that you can actually make a lot more money doing focusing on the right types of things 681 00:55:00,260 --> 00:55:07,140 And that's why I'm a huge advocate. I'm huge on just increasing my knowledge 682 00:55:07,140 --> 00:55:12,740 I'm so huge on reading books because I know that I'm in this situation where I am simply because I know 683 00:55:13,300 --> 00:55:15,780 About this stuff and I've actually learned about this stuff 684 00:55:15,780 --> 00:55:23,460 If you don't know like ignorance is the best way to keep someone in prison in this matrix 685 00:55:24,220 --> 00:55:26,940 That's it like all you have to do is have the knowledge 686 00:55:26,940 --> 00:55:35,860 That's also why I'm focusing on worldview because our default basically our default worldview is based off of what we've learned in school and 687 00:55:37,460 --> 00:55:39,460 We 688 00:55:39,660 --> 00:55:41,660 Are left 689 00:55:41,660 --> 00:55:45,620 Alone like that. It's such a sophisticated system where 690 00:55:46,420 --> 00:55:50,980 No one has to like keep us in this prison. There's no like 691 00:55:51,540 --> 00:55:56,020 Security guards keeping us here. We're keeping ourselves here through our own ignorance 692 00:55:56,420 --> 00:56:02,220 So that's why I really believe that knowledge will actually set you free and I heard that 693 00:56:02,220 --> 00:56:06,580 I'm pretty sure I heard a quote like that somewhere like knowledge will set you free 694 00:56:07,780 --> 00:56:09,780 Knowledge will set you free 695 00:56:09,780 --> 00:56:19,100 It's huge I know that knowledge is everything and you see it all around you like even there was a what's his name? 696 00:56:23,340 --> 00:56:25,340 There was one guy I 697 00:56:26,220 --> 00:56:32,300 Don't know there's one guy who was in like slavery and then he learned how to read and write and he 698 00:56:32,740 --> 00:56:33,860 basically 699 00:56:33,860 --> 00:56:38,700 Obviously he escaped through his own like means, but he learned how to read and write which 700 00:56:38,700 --> 00:56:45,580 Set him free mentally first and he actually learned of all the things more in the world like ignorance is 701 00:56:46,540 --> 00:56:49,040 most powerful weapon against us and 702 00:56:50,180 --> 00:56:52,180 knowledge will actually set us free so 703 00:56:53,620 --> 00:56:56,140 Just focus on reading that's like 704 00:56:56,780 --> 00:57:00,140 Probably the biggest if you take anything out of this today's episode 705 00:57:00,740 --> 00:57:04,820 Read the right types of books and learn the most 706 00:57:05,900 --> 00:57:07,900 important pieces of knowledge 707 00:57:07,900 --> 00:57:10,700 That's another reason why I'm reading Transurfing again 708 00:57:10,900 --> 00:57:16,340 Even though it's all like not new knowledge, but it's like solidifying this knowledge even more 709 00:57:17,740 --> 00:57:19,740 So I can actually 710 00:57:20,100 --> 00:57:21,940 Have more 711 00:57:21,940 --> 00:57:23,940 opportunities or it'll 712 00:57:24,780 --> 00:57:30,700 Basically take up a lot more of my brain now. So the way I see it is when you like 713 00:57:31,580 --> 00:57:35,540 There's something called my lawn. I'm pretty sure it's called. It's basically 714 00:57:35,540 --> 00:57:41,460 Something that coats your the wiring in your brain the more and more times you do something 715 00:57:41,500 --> 00:57:45,540 so if you like let's say you're you're practicing learning how to juggle and 716 00:57:47,300 --> 00:57:52,980 Like the first time you don't have any my lawn coated on that and then after like a week of practice 717 00:57:52,980 --> 00:57:55,620 You have some my lawn built up because you're getting better 718 00:57:56,180 --> 00:58:03,020 And you've practiced a lot more and then after like a year you have a very strong thing of my lawn in your in 719 00:58:03,020 --> 00:58:08,300 Your brain so now you can juggle very well and you have like the reps and 720 00:58:09,660 --> 00:58:14,740 The way I see it is you're reading and learning the truth is the same way like the first time I read Transurfing 721 00:58:15,060 --> 00:58:21,020 Yeah, I knew I like was aware of this stuff now, but I was I had a weak thing of my lawn 722 00:58:21,020 --> 00:58:23,420 So I wasn't actually like applying it for the day 723 00:58:23,620 --> 00:58:28,420 So then the second time the my lawn was stronger and stronger and now this third time 724 00:58:28,420 --> 00:58:31,860 I suspect that it's gonna be get even stronger some getting more reps and 725 00:58:31,860 --> 00:58:35,740 And like I said this whole story of the moment 726 00:58:35,740 --> 00:58:41,020 I stopped reading Transurfing like I kind of shift started to slowly atrophy and 727 00:58:41,700 --> 00:58:47,220 The moment I started reading it again instant mindset shift. So now I'm in like that 728 00:58:47,980 --> 00:58:49,980 mindset of Transurfing 729 00:58:50,220 --> 00:58:57,700 So now that you're in the mindset you have more opportunities throughout the day to get those more reps and solidify even more like like I said I 730 00:58:58,420 --> 00:59:01,060 Started to fall asleep a lot throughout the day 731 00:59:01,060 --> 00:59:06,100 And more and more since I stopped reading Transurfing I would fall asleep more and more 732 00:59:06,540 --> 00:59:09,540 But then now that I'm back in the 733 00:59:10,100 --> 00:59:13,740 So, okay, let me go back when I was falling asleep a lot 734 00:59:13,740 --> 00:59:15,900 I was losing out on that opportunity to 735 00:59:16,580 --> 00:59:20,700 Get more and more reps to build more and more my lawn for the Transurfing habits 736 00:59:20,700 --> 00:59:26,900 There's one thing to have the Transurfing knowledge, but there's another thing to actually have it like 737 00:59:27,860 --> 00:59:29,700 integrated into your life 738 00:59:29,700 --> 00:59:32,020 like to have the true understanding and 739 00:59:33,140 --> 00:59:34,980 He actually said that towards the end of the book 740 00:59:34,980 --> 00:59:40,140 He said like it's one thing to know all this stuff, but it's another thing to like actually have applied it 741 00:59:40,500 --> 00:59:42,500 Like that's the biggest difference 742 00:59:43,140 --> 00:59:48,460 Knowing versus actually having it done like actually doing it. That's why 743 00:59:49,500 --> 00:59:56,380 There's like a correlation the more and more you are in that mindset the more more you're in that like frequency the more 744 00:59:56,700 --> 00:59:58,700 opportunities you get to 745 00:59:58,700 --> 01:00:02,780 apply it so then like eventually you'll reach a point where 746 01:00:03,540 --> 01:00:06,700 You'll you'll actually build the habits to where you're actually self-sustaining 747 01:00:07,460 --> 01:00:10,600 Because I was like that remember the first time I finished it 748 01:00:11,260 --> 01:00:17,660 Literally within the week I was off of the Transurfing mindset and then the second time I read it 749 01:00:18,420 --> 01:00:23,100 It was a month. So that's exponential growth. So maybe the third time I read it 750 01:00:23,100 --> 01:00:28,420 I'll have three months and then the fourth time I'll have like eight months and then the fifth time 751 01:00:28,420 --> 01:00:33,340 I'll have a year like or like two years or six years like 752 01:00:34,180 --> 01:00:36,100 maybe after 753 01:00:36,100 --> 01:00:40,340 Ten times reading it. It'll be like ingrained a part of me now 754 01:00:40,340 --> 01:00:44,700 And I can just get away with not reading it for the rest of my life and I'll still have it locked in 755 01:00:45,820 --> 01:00:47,820 So that's like 756 01:00:47,900 --> 01:00:51,380 That's that's under the episode. So I hope you enjoyed and 757 01:00:52,180 --> 01:00:54,180 fall for more if you're interested and 758 01:00:54,180 --> 01:00:59,180 Have a good day.
