102 - Am I On the Right Path

1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,940 Everybody has off days and for me seems like yesterday was an off day turned 2 00:00:06,940 --> 00:00:13,440 into a good podcast the day before was an off day and the day before that was an 3 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:23,400 off day and today was an off day. So yesterday if you didn't hear the podcast 4 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:31,320 pretty much I had like I was super tired all day long and I was just getting 5 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:37,640 like dizzy head rushes all the time and I pretty much just sat on the couch all 6 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:43,760 day and today was pretty much no different. I woke up and the thing is 7 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:50,360 yesterday after recording that podcast I saw one video because a couple days 8 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:57,560 ago I saw an Alex Ramosy video and he said that routines are keeping you 9 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:02,800 weak and I watched that video and I wasn't completely satisfied with like 10 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:08,720 the what I got out of the video. So yesterday I saw another Alex Ramosy 11 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:15,720 video talking more about and he was talking about the anti-routine and 12 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:21,000 pretty much I saw that video yesterday and then went to bed and literally I 13 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,200 remember last night when I was like in and out of consciousness just drifting 14 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:31,040 into sleep I was thinking about like just everything that I've been doing 15 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:38,920 wrong like I've been I had this I thought that if I just added more and more to my 16 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:44,800 routine like one of the biggest things I've been preaching lately was if you 17 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:51,400 just copy a successful routine and just do it then you're guaranteed success. But 18 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,600 the thing is I have been doing that for like two months and I haven't seen any 19 00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:01,240 results and I was aware that it's not gonna happen instantly. I've been doing 20 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,800 actually no I've been doing a routine for more than two months like probably 21 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:10,920 like four or five months but I was aware that I wasn't gonna get results right 22 00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:16,360 away and I was aware that it was gonna take time but the thing is I kept on I 23 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,920 kept thinking that the more more stuff that adds my routine the more 24 00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:27,160 successful I'll be and there was one thing wrong with it my routine was so 25 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:32,720 packed that I didn't have any time for rest which was a huge issue because I 26 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,000 just learned about how you need to have rest when you're doing creative work 27 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:44,280 like this podcasting and so that's my first reason why I was like I was just 28 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,800 realizing that the routine is bad but I didn't think any other reason why it was 29 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:57,000 bad so it just off of that one like issue was not enough to change things so I 30 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:02,920 just went on with my like with my days kept the routine and then I learned 31 00:03:02,920 --> 00:03:09,200 about the anti-routine Alex Ramosy talked about in this video and he said 32 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:14,040 that the difference between and then he said a statement and when I heard him 33 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:21,880 say that I like it instantly sparked something in me because I say that all 34 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,840 the time like I say the difference between successful people and average 35 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:31,840 people is this and so if he's saying it and he already knows how to gain success 36 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:40,120 and he's already done it then his word is more valuable in mind and so I looked 37 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:45,720 at his I watched the video and he said the difference between successful people 38 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:56,080 and like average are is that successful people don't have more of what average 39 00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,640 people have like they don't have more in their routine like average he said that 40 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:06,760 average people look for things that successful people have that the average 41 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:11,240 person does not and then they add it to their routine but the thing that they 42 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:16,400 actually the difference is that successful people don't have something of 43 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:24,040 what the average people do so let me explain pretty much average people look 44 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,920 for more and more things to add to the routine and that's exactly what I was 45 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,240 doing over the past over a hundred days but especially over the past hundred 46 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,640 days once I got into this podcast I was adding more and more thing to my routine 47 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,880 and I was looking for more and more things to add to it until it just got so 48 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:47,200 packed where I had zero time in my day but he's saying that the successful 49 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,040 people are the ones that don't have stuff in their routine they're the ones 50 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:56,120 that take things out of their routine and one thing that successful people don't 51 00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:01,600 have the average people do have is an off button which is something that I have I 52 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:08,440 feel like I definitely do have or I don't have an off button which puts me in 53 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:16,440 the category of successful people because he another at so in the beginning 54 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,480 the video he basically gave like the general strategies and like the concept 55 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:25,800 conceptual ideas and then the second half of the video he gave actual tactics 56 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:32,880 like practical things that you can apply and he gave like seven tips seven 57 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:39,080 things to apply and I wrote them all down and the thing is that I am already 58 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:45,200 doing like all of them except for a few so the seven tips are the first one 59 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:50,400 change your phone number so and he basically explained why and it was 60 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:56,600 because people like you don't owe anyone a response and it's basically a huge 61 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:03,120 distraction in your day to have people texting you which I did have plans on 62 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:09,040 changing my phone number once I graduated or once I like started to see some 63 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:14,200 success but I haven't done it yet but I pretty much got the benefits from it 64 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:22,520 already because I am not even like I am not on my phone at all ever and when I 65 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:27,840 am on it people have just gotten used to my absence on my phone that they just 66 00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:32,680 don't even text me anymore like it's been probably like three weeks and I've only 67 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:39,600 gotten like one text and that was from like my family group chat so that is 68 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:45,480 that's that like I'm doing number one basically I'm not doing it but I'm 69 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,240 getting the results from it which is change your phone number and then the 70 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:54,480 second one is stop going to events unless you are trans or unless you are 71 00:06:54,480 --> 00:07:01,960 ignorant to what needs to be done that one he is more of a higher level thing 72 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:07,400 like huge time of masterminds which I'm not even going to those in the first 73 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:12,880 place because I don't even have the money to afford that but I'm not really 74 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:18,040 doing that anyways but the thing is I don't really know what needs to be done 75 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:23,840 and I'll talk about that later on and then the third one is take no meetings 76 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:29,680 from 4 a.m. to 12 p.m. and that's I mean I'm not even taking meetings I don't 77 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:36,520 even have a team and I don't even have like a business up yet so like all these 78 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:44,680 most these tips are for like further advanced people the fourth one is stop 79 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,240 treating weekends differently wake up and go to the bed at 80 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:54,000 same time that is something that I've been doing for quite some time I I treat 81 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,600 my weekends as the same like I go to bed at the same exact time every single day 82 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,680 even on weekends and I wake up at the same exact time every single day even on 83 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:08,080 weekend so I go to bed around 6 10 and then I wake up around 4 o'clock or I 84 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:15,040 wake up at 4 o'clock every day and that's like the same same every day even on 85 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:21,320 weekends so that's one of the big tips I already am doing and then number five is 86 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:28,600 just maintain in the gym so that is one that I've kind of been dipping my toes 87 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:34,520 into and I'll I'll get into like one of the things he said is you only have so 88 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:41,960 much like growth juice one of the things that I realized is I'm kind of dipping 89 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:47,440 my toes into business right now I'm kind of like passing it out seeing if I like 90 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:52,440 it or not but I'm not fully committing so let me let me tell you something I see 91 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:58,320 so many people around me that want to get a good physique they want to build 92 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:04,640 some muscle but they're just kind of dipping their toes in there they're 93 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,520 just like going once a week once every other week or something like that they're 94 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:16,960 just like testing it out and they're not getting any results obviously but the 95 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:21,200 reason why I got so much results is because I literally just invested my 96 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,680 entire life into that like that was all I did like that was my only purpose 97 00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:30,280 every single day was to go to the gym for from like the beginning of sophomore 98 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:37,160 year all the way until like that like summer going into senior year so literally 99 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:43,160 for almost like pretty much two years I literally only cared about going to the 100 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:51,160 gym that's that was my only purpose and like I did not dip my toes I like fully 101 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:57,880 emerged myself in that and that's why I got so much results in that amount of 102 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:03,400 time like that's why I was able to see success like I didn't worry about 103 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:12,360 anything else except for that and I am like just yesterday and today I've just 104 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,080 become conscious of the fact that I'm dipping my toes into entrepreneurship I'm 105 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,600 dipping a toes into business because I'm just kind of like testing out the 106 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:25,320 waters I'm I'm kind of just recording some videos and I'm not really doing 107 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:32,920 anything other than that and the only way you actually see success is by 108 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:39,280 investing like your entire life to it and like he said you only have so much 109 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:44,640 growth juice and I was investing my growth juice all around the board like 110 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:49,920 with my routine was so jam-packed and I say was because this morning was the 111 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:55,200 first time that I didn't do my routine in like a long time so my routine was so 112 00:10:55,200 --> 00:11:04,920 jam-packed that I was investing my growth juice in maintaining my balance 113 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:09,160 maintaining or not maintaining but improving my balance improving my 114 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:18,080 physique getting my breath more optimal like I was there was a lot of things 115 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:24,920 that I was investing in there's so many things that was working towards improving 116 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:35,680 so I was spreading myself so thin over all of these things and then he when he 117 00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:41,480 said you only have so much growth juice I and he Alex or Mosey he's a very built 118 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:47,480 guy like he is got a very good physique and he literally said in the video that 119 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:54,440 during that like phase when he was building up his business literally he 120 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:59,960 just went to the gym two days a week just to maintain and he fasted for two 121 00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:07,520 two days a week like he literally didn't eat at all for two days a week and he 122 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:12,600 had an ex like he has an amazing physique I'm sure he had a great physique 123 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:20,760 back then also and so if he definitely he invested his like he invested 124 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:26,280 everything into that into the business so that's what I realized I need to do 125 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:33,160 because I have kind of I kind of like shifted to only going three days on two 126 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:38,360 days off instead of seven days a week which yeah that's like kind of half 127 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:45,800 invested now but now I'm just like half invested in building my physique and 128 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:52,400 half invested in entrepreneur in business so I'm kind of like getting nothing out 129 00:12:52,400 --> 00:13:02,400 of both so that's another issue and then the like okay so number six was fast 130 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:08,000 one to two days a week and then he only ate caffeine and bone broth on the days 131 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,480 where he fasted and that he said that saved him a lot of time like cooking 132 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:19,200 food and eating like and also I'm sure that your focus increases when you fast 133 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:24,440 because in like during summer I did some research on fasting and intermittent 134 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:30,200 fasting and it's it's actually got some pretty good benefits for your focus so 135 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:36,560 I'm sure that definitely helped him and the seventh one is delete all social 136 00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:45,480 media which I already did I did so going to my notes for today's podcast I 137 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:53,440 towards the end of the notes I said like I'm doing all the things but not seeing 138 00:13:53,440 --> 00:14:01,760 any of the results like I'm doing all the things I deleted my social media I am 139 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:12,920 what else am I doing I'm recording every day I am not on my phone ever I'm like 140 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:18,000 doing like I'm doing all the things but I'm not seeing any of the results and I 141 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:23,200 realized that it's because like I said it's I'm like dipping my toes in the 142 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:29,000 water so I have to either go go all in or nothing because if I if I kind of dip 143 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:34,400 my toes in the water I'm not gonna see any of the results that's like like I 144 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,840 said you can't just dip your toes into the water when you're going to the gym 145 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:42,600 you're not gonna see any of the results if you just go like one one day a week 146 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:49,320 you're not gonna see any results like that's the that's why like Hamza when he 147 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,240 was on business when he was going into business focusing on building his 148 00:14:53,240 --> 00:15:00,760 business he only went to the gym one day a week to maintain so if one day a week 149 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:07,480 is maintaining at the gym and you are just trying to start out the gym that 150 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:13,440 means you're gonna maintain your already zero physique like if you're just 151 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,440 trying to get to the gym if you're just trying to build your physique and you 152 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,760 go one day a week which is dipping your toes in the water you're just gonna be 153 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:25,200 maintaining what you already have which is nothing so that's basically what I'm 154 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:30,120 doing right now I'm essentially maintaining what I already have in my 155 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:35,920 business which is nothing so I have to either go all in or just not even do 156 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:41,720 anything so I'm kind of at a crossroads right now in my life where there's 157 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,920 definitely things are gonna be changing in the future like there's no point in 158 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:52,080 going on further like this like there's no point in spreading myself so thin to 159 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:58,640 where I'm trying to improve like all these different things so I either drop 160 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:03,320 everything and go back into just focusing on my health just focus on going to the 161 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:10,240 gym and realize that I'm not gonna be making any money and then go down that 162 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:15,080 path of I'm probably gonna have to go get a job go to college like all these 163 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:23,800 things or I drop everything else like going to the gym every like all these 164 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:31,360 times drop my routine and I drop all this stuff and just focus on business so I 165 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:36,880 have to I have two choices and I'm gonna choose the business side because what 166 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:45,520 like what why would I go back when I'm already like I know what the like 167 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:50,840 negatives are of both I know what the negatives are of not working on business 168 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:57,040 at this point of of my life so I'm working on business but the thing is I 169 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:02,920 realized that people infest their entire life so I realized that like the 170 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,040 difference okay so one of my favorite phrases is the difference between 171 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:12,280 successful people and normal people are and what I realized is after learning 172 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:19,960 these things in these recent days is that successful people go all in on their 173 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:24,440 thing they go all in on their business just like I went all in on building my 174 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:29,360 physique but there's one issue I don't really know what my business is because 175 00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:36,320 I'm kind of having doubts about this like podcast like for the past couple 176 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,960 months I thought that I was gonna be able to build a business off of this 177 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:45,520 podcast but I'm in the middle of reading a book called rework so I am still 178 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:51,600 reading Transurfing and I was reading it this morning but I like had a stomach 179 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:58,360 ache all day today and like really bad diarrhea so I was literally like using 180 00:17:58,360 --> 00:18:07,840 the bathroom probably 50 times today and so I was not really feeling anything 181 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,500 and so I was basically just reading all day and I didn't want to read 182 00:18:11,500 --> 00:18:15,560 Transurfing because I wanted to read outside of my room in a comfortable 183 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:20,640 spot like on the couch and I didn't want to read Transurfing on the couch 184 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:25,280 because it's a big book and I was gonna have to take notes so I was reading 185 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:31,280 rework which was a book that was sitting in my closet for quite some time and I'm 186 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:35,560 only reading it because I feel like I can finish it in this weekend it's like a 187 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:41,600 300 page book but it's there's like barely any words and there's a lot of 188 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:47,600 pictures so I'm already halfway done with it and I just read for like four 189 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:54,520 hours today maybe but in rework it's basically like a business book it's 190 00:18:54,520 --> 00:19:04,760 about entrepreneurship and I'm learning like all of the strategies and mindsets 191 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:12,560 behind a successful business owner or their term was a startup or like not a 192 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:18,480 startup a start I don't know they had a term they didn't like using an 193 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:23,960 entrepreneur and they didn't like using business owner it was something else I 194 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:31,520 forgot but I'm reading this book and I'm realizing that I don't even know what 195 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:36,760 I'm doing like okay I know what to do the thing is I I'm learning all these 196 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:43,920 business books they're extremely helpful with general mindsets and what to do but 197 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:50,400 I don't know how to do it so I know I know to get a business idea like they 198 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:58,960 they say find something that you would like to like make a product or solve a 199 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:05,440 problem that you're experiencing but I don't really know what like how to do 200 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:10,040 that like I I'm also reading a Transurfing which kind of tells you how to 201 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:15,800 do that but the thing is I am kind of in this phase where I'm inexperienced at 202 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:20,800 Transurfing and I also like don't really know I just don't know how to do all 203 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,880 this stuff like they're telling me the strategies but I don't know how to 204 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:30,000 actually go out on these strategies so I know exactly what I need to do once I 205 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:40,680 find an idea that like once I find my business thing well like once I find the 206 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:47,880 business idea I know exactly what to do once I find that but I don't know what to 207 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:54,640 do in the meantime like I don't know how to do that so I'm at this like I'm at 208 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:59,040 the crossroads where I'm kind of just maintaining what I'm doing right now by 209 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,760 recording every day so basically maintaining my routine but I'm also 210 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:07,840 realizing that I need to figure out like what business I'm actually doing and 211 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:14,000 that brings me to the next point like I don't know what I don't know if this 212 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:21,760 podcast is actually beneficial or not like the thing is one of the early 213 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:27,240 reasons why I wanted to do daily one-hour podcasts is because of the 214 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:33,040 practice like I've gotten like a hundred hours of practice by now but the 215 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,520 thing is I've gotten to the point where I've kind of plateaued for my podcast so 216 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:42,480 I'm not really improving too much and so I have to figure out how to improve the 217 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:49,160 quality otherwise and I don't really know how to but it's also the thing is 218 00:21:49,160 --> 00:22:03,280 that in in my day sorry I there's a lot of distractions going on upstairs and I 219 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:07,480 can really I don't know if you guys can hear it but you can hear like all of the 220 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:13,960 creeks and all the steps people make upstairs in my house and it's just 221 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:23,120 really distracting so sorry about that but like I don't know if this podcast is 222 00:22:23,120 --> 00:22:27,840 actually helping me because I had this vision of once I got a certain amount of 223 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:32,840 viewers listening to the podcast I was gonna actually start the business off of 224 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:38,040 the podcast but I don't even know like what product I would make because I don't 225 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:42,320 feel like an expert like a couple days or a couple weeks ago I definitely felt 226 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:47,760 like an expert in my field but the thing is more the more I'm studying and one of 227 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:52,760 the things that I said I was gonna do is be a guest speaker on other podcasts and 228 00:22:52,760 --> 00:23:00,720 I was like doing research finding other podcasts in my like niche and first of 229 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:05,240 all I didn't really know like what my niche was I think it's like secrets of 230 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:10,680 success and I also think it's like like your thoughts like how your thoughts 231 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:16,600 actually affect your success so like all these things and so I was like looking 232 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:23,080 up those keywords in Apple podcasts today and I saw all these different 233 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:31,240 podcasts literally called secrets of success and I was looking at them and the 234 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:40,080 hosts were literally like extremely like they were experts 100% they were 235 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:44,760 already successful in what they preach like for me I kind of feel like an 236 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:49,560 imposter because I'm preaching all this success stuff but I haven't been 237 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:56,640 successful at it yet so I don't think that it would work very well to create a 238 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,840 business off of this like maybe this is just a documentation thing and maybe this 239 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:07,680 is actually just meant for me to practice the skills of podcasting for 240 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:12,760 something else in the future or maybe this is what I'm supposed to do I don't 241 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:19,760 know like the thing is that I know all this knowledge you would think that the 242 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:24,800 path would be so clear but it's not like I don't know what I'm doing I have no 243 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:32,440 idea what to do and I'm just trying to figure it out and today I was like so 244 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:39,840 tired and I was getting like the headache again or like the headrush this 245 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:47,320 morning and today was just a really low point like this morning was I was really 246 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:54,160 like the lowest point I've been in a few months just because I was like I kind of 247 00:24:54,160 --> 00:25:00,040 feel sick I kind of feel tired or burnt out I'm not sure what it is but this 248 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:07,240 morning like my actual physical health was not very great like I said I'd die 249 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:12,880 but that wasn't even the worst of it it was just like super tired and I was 250 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:18,480 getting headaches and also headrushes literally just didn't even want to walk 251 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:25,840 around and I it got to the point where I was like I knew about transfer fee and I 252 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:32,360 knew I was basically choosing all this stuff and then I was it got to the point 253 00:25:32,360 --> 00:25:36,040 where I was all of a sudden I was just like okay life I yield I literally just 254 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:42,080 said that in my mind I was like okay I yield so what do I do and then nothing 255 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:47,880 happened and then I was just laying there on the couch and then literally a 256 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:55,600 couple minutes later this like intuitive understanding popped up in my head and 257 00:25:55,600 --> 00:26:01,640 I was trying to figure out like how to actually get out of this situation because 258 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,240 I've done something like that before where I had a very bad stomach ache and 259 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:10,360 then I it wasn't getting any better and then I like kind of got out of it by 260 00:26:10,360 --> 00:26:14,560 following the transfer from principles but I didn't really know how to do it 261 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:21,040 today for some reason or I wasn't willing to and so I it got to a breaking point 262 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:29,440 where I was like I yield and the pit the intuition that I came to was two 263 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:34,680 things first of all like don't worry about the past or the future just focus 264 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,720 on this present so it was kind of like an intuitive understanding of the fact 265 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:43,680 that the past doesn't matter like one of the things I was also stressing on was 266 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:48,120 the fact that I may have wasted the past hundred days recording this podcast I 267 00:26:48,120 --> 00:26:52,760 may have wasted the past hundred days not working on business and kind of just 268 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,040 distracting myself so I was also stressing about that so that's kind of 269 00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:00,640 like the past and then the future is I don't know if I'm gonna be successful 270 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:06,200 like I have all these doubts in my mind and I'm like am I actually gonna see 271 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:12,800 success like how how do I do this like I know what all these people who are 272 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:17,600 successful are doing I know what to do but I don't know how to do it and so a 273 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:22,760 lot of doubts were creeping in my mind so that was like the two things that I 274 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:29,440 needed fixed this morning was the doubts of the past or the the regret of the 275 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:35,840 past the doubts of the future as well as my actual physical health like my 276 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:41,760 physical well-being so those are the two the three things I needed fixed and the 277 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:50,400 solution to that was don't worry about the past or the future like don't worry 278 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:56,400 about the past or the future just focus on the present like literally the future 279 00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:01,720 or the past does not even exist just focus on the present and I was like okay 280 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:07,280 and I applied that and I was like just focus on the present staying awake 281 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:12,640 present and then I fell asleep and I was thinking about the past and the future 282 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:17,600 again and I was like oh no get back to the moment the present moment is is this 283 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:23,880 am I doing like what needs to be done or am I improving my current situation just 284 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:29,240 take take life moment by moment just live in the present and make sure you 285 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:33,600 apply the transfer from principles moment by moment and so that's basically 286 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:38,920 what I was doing and I'm it wasn't like perfect I wasn't like awake and present 287 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,760 the whole day I was falling asleep a lot but it definitely helped me get out of 288 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:51,360 that rut and then so that that just focused on the present moment helped 289 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:58,440 me get rid of the doubts of the future and the regrets of the past but I also 290 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:04,440 needed one more thing helped with was my actual physical health my physical 291 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:09,360 condition and that brings me to the second intuitive understanding that I 292 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:14,040 got literally like I'm pretty sure I got it maybe a few moments 293 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:19,520 after the first one or I got them all at the same I don't know I don't know but 294 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:27,440 that second intuitive understanding was am I dreaming because I was literally 295 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:33,560 just like I hadn't asked myself is this a dream in quite some time maybe a few 296 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:40,560 days and then that like little just question popped in my head I was like 297 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:46,760 oh am I dreaming right now and so I was like I did like all the tests to see if 298 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:55,280 I was awake or not and like that in like got me extremely conscious of what was 299 00:29:55,280 --> 00:30:00,280 going on and I realized that that's a good test not just to help get into loose 300 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:06,040 dreams but it's a good test to make sure that you're not a victim like all 301 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:11,440 morning I was feeling like a victim of this like whatever was happening to my 302 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:18,160 physical body also yesterday I was feeling like a victim and I didn't 303 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,160 really know how to control my situation I didn't know how to take charge of my 304 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:27,880 destiny or at least I wasn't willing to and then that intuition popped in my 305 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:33,640 head which was am I dreaming which serves two purposes the lucid dreaming 306 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:38,920 part which at that moment did not really matter but the most important purpose 307 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:44,800 of all is to make sure you're not a victim because at that moment I realized 308 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:49,360 that I was just I was just acting like a victim I thought that I was a victim of 309 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:55,720 the circumstances to my like whatever was happening to my body and so the 310 00:30:55,720 --> 00:31:02,400 moment I was like no I'm not a victim I'm like in charge of what's going on and 311 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:08,040 from that moment onwards I realized like oh I can actually control my destiny or 312 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:13,520 I can actually change my relationship to what's going on and I'm not gonna lie 313 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:18,320 it didn't it definitely helped to a piece of mind and like end the doom and 314 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:24,680 gloom but like even right now I still have like a slight stomach ache and like a 315 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:32,880 slight head whatever it is but it definitely helped like it didn't it may 316 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,280 not have helped too much on the physical side but it definitely helped like 317 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:43,440 mental and definitely I think my like the head rushes are not as bad as this 318 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:49,320 morning though so that's pretty much like the two intuitions that I came to 319 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:57,160 today so I wrote a lot of notes and they were kind of out of order for today's 320 00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:06,720 episode so I want to go back to me questioning if this podcast is even 321 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:13,600 like worth it or if this podcast is even helping me one first of all I 322 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:19,680 understand that it's not gonna happen right away like I'm not gonna start 323 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,440 making money right away and I understand that even a hundred days is still a 324 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,160 short period of time to actually start making money so I understand that I'm 325 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:31,000 still like kind of in the short term for the podcast and it's a long-term game 326 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:37,240 so I understand that I probably would not see results until a couple months or 327 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:44,280 half of a year from now but the thing is that 328 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:52,240 beside all that when I was reading rework there was one chapter or one like 329 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:56,880 sub chapter in it that was talking about like you have to be good at quitting 330 00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:04,000 like you have to ask yourself why are you doing what you're doing like why are 331 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:10,320 you doing that and one of the things that they said is like most people are 332 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:15,120 doing it because someone else told them to do it and like when they asked me why 333 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,800 are you doing what you're doing I actually thought about my podcast and 334 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,440 doubts started to rise well I mean doubts were already like lingering about 335 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:28,880 this podcast or not and so I asked myself why are you doing what you're doing 336 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:35,320 for the podcast and then the next line in that book was like most people are 337 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:39,520 doing it because someone else told them to and I instantly thought of literally 338 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,800 the whole reason why I started this podcast was because I read in a book 339 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:47,840 called expert secrets by Russell Brunson if you record on your if you post every 340 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:53,360 day for an entire year you'll never have to worry about money yet like that's 341 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:58,400 why I'm doing it because someone else told me to do it so that's not a very 342 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:05,920 good why and one of the things that I have definitely seen in quite a few 343 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:10,240 business books was you have to find your why and to be honest I don't think I 344 00:34:10,240 --> 00:34:14,880 have a why for my podcast why am I doing this because Russell Brunson told me to 345 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:25,280 like that's not a good why and then the next thing is the next like line was you 346 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:32,200 have to figure out like why are you doing it so I'm not sure I like one thought 347 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:38,640 popped up in my mind like I want to document my journey but I'm not I'm not 348 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:42,000 really sure I'm like having a lot of doubts right now and I don't even know 349 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:47,880 kind of in like a suspended state where I don't really know how to move forward 350 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:52,920 and I don't really know what to do I don't know what business to pursue it's 351 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:58,240 kind of like how when I was first starting business over a summer I remember 352 00:34:58,240 --> 00:35:07,920 I just started reading these books and I was like my one task like I just wanted 353 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:14,560 to figure out what business to start and literally took me like a month and so I 354 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:19,040 got to the point where I was at like my family vacation and that was my entire 355 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:24,360 task for that my only task for the entire week was to wake up and literally 356 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:30,280 filter all events that happened to me through the question or through the 357 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:35,880 filter of can I make a business out of this like that was really what I did I 358 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:41,040 discovered a few like trash business ideas but one of the ones that hit me 359 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:48,400 that I started to pursue was like basically create a vacation home rental 360 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:53,160 website which at the time I thought was revolutionary because my grandparents 361 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:58,320 were complaining about how they had to use an agent so I thought it was perfect 362 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:07,640 like opportunity but I realized that like Airbnb verbo I think verbo yeah 363 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:13,280 verbo like all these other like things are already doing that so that whatever 364 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:21,760 and then I found a few other ideas like one of the ideas that I actually used 365 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:26,840 to start pursuing was acne business which I'm not even passionate about acne at 366 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:34,080 all it's just it was called stop acne and I actually filed it on Zen business 367 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:39,480 but thankfully they didn't like file it to the state right away and I was able 368 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:44,080 to edit it and change it to ascend momentum and changed it to like something 369 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:50,080 I'm passionate about which is self-improvement and like that's like 370 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,640 that was the suspended state where I experienced like I didn't know where to 371 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:57,920 even start so I felt like I wasn't really achieving much and I'm kind of 372 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,560 experiencing that right now where I'm kind of thinking that this idea is not 373 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:11,120 that great or it's not even gonna work and I'm also aware that maybe this is 374 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:16,080 just the resistance and maybe I am on the right path and I'm just really close 375 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:22,760 where I'm about to I'm like right next to the gold but I'm about to give up so I 376 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:29,280 don't know that's why I'm continuing to record until I figure out like where my 377 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:34,600 path is because I I feel like the path will hopefully get a little clearer when 378 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,600 the days go by 379 00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:46,960 okay so this morning another conclusion that I came to like right when I had that 380 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:53,320 epiphany of just being present and not worrying about the past or the future 381 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:57,360 and then I also had the epiphany of are you dreaming like not being the victim 382 00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:03,240 to circumstance then I immediately like went down to the basement and wrote it 383 00:38:03,240 --> 00:38:08,160 down in my episode notes because I wanted to talk about it today and then I 384 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:13,240 went back upstairs and I had a few other or I had a few other epiphany's which 385 00:38:13,240 --> 00:38:18,440 was like why am I doing all this because someone told me to which I just talked 386 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:25,600 about find my why and then like I have to figure out why am I doing this like you 387 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:33,040 can definitely find your why after you started it so I just remember reading in 388 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:39,280 a book called create don't capture Eric Thane he had a successful business and 389 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:44,400 then he found his why like he didn't find his why until well after his business 390 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:49,400 was well established so you can definitely go without a why for a little 391 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:53,840 bit at time so maybe I'm just worried about like all these little details and 392 00:38:53,840 --> 00:39:00,680 not really worried about the big picture but the next thing that I remembered 393 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,760 or the next epiphany that I had and this was in the morning when I was in this 394 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:08,640 like really low state like I was just talking about when I was just feeling 395 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:16,080 physically ill just bad everything and my mental was not very controlled all 396 00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:21,720 this stuff and I was like trying to fight all this I was like I'm having an 397 00:39:21,720 --> 00:39:29,040 off-day and I'm I was trying to fight it and then this thought like like appeared 398 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:34,040 in my mind like it's okay to have off days they're normal stop fighting it and 399 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:39,560 accept it like and then the moment that I just like stopped fighting it and 400 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:44,720 accepted it it also started to get better so like all these things kind of 401 00:39:44,720 --> 00:39:54,200 happened around the same time so I actually don't think that this epiphany 402 00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:58,480 actually came to me when I actually needed it I think the epiphany that 403 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:05,240 actually changed things was the am I dreaming am I the victim of circumstances 404 00:40:05,240 --> 00:40:11,960 and then I kind of later after the fact tried to come up with like a 405 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:18,200 explanation to it and it was that it was like stop it's okay to have off days 406 00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:23,560 everyone has them just stop fighting it and accept it so I just stopped fighting 407 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:36,760 my off day and that's like that definitely helped and then okay I want to 408 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:42,920 talk about like where I'm headed in my business and just in life in general 409 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:49,280 because one-hour episodes for something I'm not even sure like one-hour daily 410 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:53,840 episodes for something I'm not even sure of is even helping me it's probably not 411 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:59,600 like help it's definitely hurting my progress in business so if I'm not even 412 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:05,720 100% sure that this is actually good business idea then it's probably just 413 00:41:05,720 --> 00:41:11,400 hurting me more so one of the things that I came to the conclusion is I'm 414 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:16,920 gonna maintain this one-hour daily episodes I'm gonna maintain it for the 415 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:23,640 time being but I'm gonna be on the lookout for my actual path my actual and 416 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:28,080 it may just turn out that this is my actual path and I'm just being an idiot 417 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:36,320 but I like I'm gonna maintain this current routine and look out for a 418 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:43,880 business idea and then work on and then once I get into that I'm gonna dive a 419 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:50,920 hundred percent of my time into that and just the decision I made right now I'm 420 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:55,360 gonna maintain this podcast just like once a week just giving updates still 421 00:41:55,360 --> 00:42:00,120 documenting the journey but that could change in the future like I could just 422 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,800 decide to stop it all together because it's probably it's it may not even be 423 00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:10,760 helping me but right now I'm I still plan on maintaining the podcast in some 424 00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:19,040 form or another but I but kind of my path my task right now is to come up with a 425 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:25,440 business idea to actually pursue and actually dive full all my time into and 426 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:30,560 I've already started to come up with certain plans on how to change my day 427 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:36,680 around for example I was gonna do I was gonna fast every single day like not do 428 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:43,240 full fasts like Al Sirmosi did two days of an a full fast like he didn't eat at 429 00:42:43,240 --> 00:42:52,040 all in the entire day but I was gonna fast every single day like do an 430 00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:57,440 intermittent fast every single day and with wake up in my normal time don't do 431 00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:02,360 my routine I would just wake up do my routine up until I shower so I would 432 00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:11,120 wake up drink all my supplements and water and then I would use the bathroom 433 00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:16,360 brush my teeth all that stuff and then shower and then I would meditate and then 434 00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:20,360 get straight into my day like get straight into working so I'd basically 435 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:28,720 start around like five o'clock in the morning five ten around in the morning 436 00:43:28,720 --> 00:43:37,840 and then work until whatever time like right now at my school so I'd basically 437 00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:45,720 have to work until like 7 20 so I get like two solid hours every single day 438 00:43:45,720 --> 00:43:50,720 but then like once I'm done with school or on the weekends I would probably work 439 00:43:50,720 --> 00:43:56,560 until like 12 or something like that and I'd figure out the rest later but 440 00:43:56,560 --> 00:44:01,160 pretty much I realized that there's another thing that he said all that 441 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:05,160 remains is the work to be done like I'm just distracting myself with all this 442 00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:10,280 stuff on my routine like me balancing on my medicine ball me going out for a walk 443 00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:15,640 every morning me doing all this stuff maybe even meditating I'm not sure all 444 00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:21,640 this stuff I am distracting myself and all that remains all that's actually 445 00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:25,800 gonna help me move forward all that's gonna get me forward and push me forward 446 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:29,640 in my business in my life is the work like the work needs to be done and 447 00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:34,800 that's what needs to be done in order to achieve success and I've been 448 00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:38,280 distracting myself with all this routine to the point where I don't even have any 449 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:44,760 time to do the work I don't even know what business idea to do like I'm having 450 00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:51,080 dots like me having doubts about this podcast topples like the past hundred 451 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:57,040 days of work that I've been doing like the only thing that I've been doing for 452 00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:01,960 past hundred days was just working on the podcast and now I'm having doubts of 453 00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:08,440 you if this is even like beneficial or helpful to me or looking at help me move 454 00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:19,640 forward in my in my future in my like business and another thing so I read in 455 00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:26,920 rework and I don't remember the exact like phrasing they used but pretty much a 456 00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:36,400 half of like amazing product so if you have an like a half of an idea but you 457 00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:51,440 execute very well then that is better than full of half ASS product that's 458 00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:58,160 basically what they said so it's better to not have a complete but very good 459 00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:06,240 quality versus a complete but very bad quality so I read that and I didn't 460 00:46:06,240 --> 00:46:11,280 really think of it much but then when I was like sitting down here writing my 461 00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:15,280 show notes trying to think of like things to talk about that happened today 462 00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:21,080 and that I learned today I this thought popped them in my head and I was like am 463 00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:27,200 I spamming a bunch of trash like I'm posting three TikToks every day 464 00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:33,480 unedited not like just posted like I just took one take for recording that might 465 00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:38,240 just had one try and then edit error I didn't edit like I just recorded and 466 00:46:38,240 --> 00:46:45,160 then posted and then on my podcast is the same thing one take just one hour of 467 00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:50,120 unedited stuff so I'm asking myself am I just record am I just spamming a bunch 468 00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:55,760 of trash maybe that maybe that's why I'm losing a bunch of followers on this 469 00:46:55,760 --> 00:47:02,040 podcast like I used to have seven followers and now I have five like I 470 00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:07,440 lost two followers this month which yeah two followers not that much to lose but 471 00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:15,000 that's like a quarter of my entire follower base and yet like seven and 472 00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:19,760 four or five is a very small number in the first place so it's not really that 473 00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:26,560 big of a deal but like people are leaving so and these small numbers seem big 474 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:32,680 when one person leaves people are leaving and like when people leave it's 475 00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:36,640 because they don't want like they're just not watching it anymore which is 476 00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:43,000 probably because it's like bad quality so I question if I'm if I'm just spamming 477 00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:47,080 a bunch of trash because I don't edit anything I don't like the only thing 478 00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:54,040 that I'm getting better at is the actual quality of my own voice just because I 479 00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:58,840 have getting the reps in practicing every day but like I said earlier I I feel 480 00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:02,560 like I'm plateauing like I've gotten a hundred hours of podcasting practice and 481 00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:08,760 I'm not really quite sure how to improve other than that because in 10x is easier 482 00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:14,120 than 2x he said that he basically debunked the myth of the 10,000 hour rule 483 00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:20,520 like there's a saying that if you have 10,000 hours of practice in something 484 00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:25,640 you're an expert but in 10x is using 2x he basically said that that's not 485 00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:31,400 actually true because if you just have 10,000 mindless hours and you're not 486 00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:35,040 really you're just kind of doing the same thing over and over and over again 487 00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:41,240 then you're not gonna get much benefit you're just gonna plateau but 10,000 488 00:48:41,240 --> 00:48:45,520 iterations is where it's actually better because and then he went on to talk about 489 00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:53,760 how like athletes like football players they watch their game film after playing 490 00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:58,280 and they're actually able to see that outside observer a different perspective 491 00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:01,520 of their own game that's an iteration because they see where they went wrong 492 00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:05,920 and they they fixed it so I was also conscious of that a couple weeks ago 493 00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,600 when I read that book and I was like oh maybe I should actually go back and 494 00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:13,720 listen to some of my content and see where I can improve didn't do that too 495 00:49:13,720 --> 00:49:19,000 lazy I guess or it's because I don't have enough time in my day because I am so 496 00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:24,520 jam-packed on my routine so I've gotten a hundred hours but I'm not really getting 497 00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:30,840 much more iterations because I don't know where I can like improve on so that's 498 00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:39,240 why I asked if I'm just posting a bunch of trash and that brings me to the last 499 00:49:39,240 --> 00:49:43,920 thing which I've already talked about but I want to talk about a little bit more 500 00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:50,840 like I I've been saying like the difference between the greats and the 501 00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:58,160 average is this and that but what I'm realizing like one thing that heard from 502 00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:04,000 an actual great like I was from OZ he said the difference between like the 503 00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:08,440 greats they don't have more on their plate they actually have less on their 504 00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:13,640 plate I don't think he said exactly like that but pretty much what I mean by 505 00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:19,320 that is the greats figure out they don't figure out what to add to the routine 506 00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:24,040 they figure out what to get rid of what to take away like I'm pretty sure I don't 507 00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:30,200 I just inferred that from the fact that Alex from OZ said in that video I was 508 00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:34,720 talking about that I saw last night he basically said that he didn't take any 509 00:50:34,720 --> 00:50:42,000 meetings from 4 a.m. to 12 p.m. so I inferred that he like basically woke up 510 00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:48,440 prior like 3 30 or 4 a.m. and then just worked until for like eight hours until 511 00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:58,640 12 so I inferred that he basically worked from from like 4 a.m. to 12 p.m. which 512 00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:04,960 means that he literally got rid of his entire routine and just focused on the 513 00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:10,320 work that needs to be done like you have to ask yourself what are you gonna move 514 00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:17,120 forward on what's gonna help you move forward well the work the work is like 515 00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:23,640 the business is actually what's gonna help you propel you in life like a couple 516 00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:26,960 months ago when I actually decided to get into business like in towards the 517 00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:34,280 beginning of summer I I was really getting into like estrogenics and like 518 00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:40,040 improving my health but it got like expensive and I realized that I needed 519 00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:44,240 to start making my own money so I can actually improve my health on like with 520 00:51:44,240 --> 00:51:55,480 my own money and so that was like I kind of forgot where I was going with this 521 00:51:55,480 --> 00:52:02,520 I kind of just lost all my train of thought but let me get some water 522 00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:05,600 you 523 00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:32,320 so some things may be changing in the future I'm on episode 102 I've actually 524 00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:43,640 posted 95 episodes so far as a recording and I'm questioning I don't even know 525 00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:48,880 like I'm already in the top like more than I'm already higher than the top 1% 526 00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:54,880 of podcasters in the world so I've already proven that I'm in here for the 527 00:52:54,880 --> 00:53:01,240 long game but I'm not even I'm right now I'm kind of questioning if my podcast is 528 00:53:01,240 --> 00:53:08,320 fundamentally flawed like did I start it for the wrong reason did am I just doing 529 00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:17,040 it for the money I'm not quite sure am I spam do I have the wrong like morals am 530 00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:23,440 I just spamming a bunch of trash and also the thing is I'm I'm definitely 531 00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:28,360 dipping my toes in the water and I'm just becoming conscious of this I wanted 532 00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:33,600 to still be improving my gym physique I still wanted to improve my physique I 533 00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:38,320 still I still want to do all this stuff and improve all this stuff but I 534 00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:45,080 realized that that like I said I have to go all in I have to have to go all in 535 00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:51,720 on what I want to truly what I want to grow because it's when I first started I 536 00:53:51,720 --> 00:53:57,360 wanted to do it because of the my health but it's progressed to more than that I 537 00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:05,240 want I just I want to be free it's progressed more to me from me like wanting 538 00:54:05,240 --> 00:54:12,440 to buy my own products to me wanting to buy my own fruit me wanting to live at 539 00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:16,200 my own house me wanting to be financially free me wanting to travel the 540 00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:22,480 world and do whatever I want me wanting the world to be my playground like 541 00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:32,560 that's what my kind of goals have or my desires have progressed to and I remember 542 00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:38,320 reading the four-hour work week he was giving me very good I just I just read 543 00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:44,000 it once towards the beginning of me getting into entrepreneurship and he was 544 00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:49,440 talking about how he has trained people like he basically had you map out your 545 00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:52,920 like dream escape some pretty sure it was cool it's called it's pretty much 546 00:54:52,920 --> 00:55:01,920 where you map out where you see yourself in six or 12 months so I mapped out in 547 00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:08,360 six months because that was the end of the year at the time it was like June 548 00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:14,400 it was like June and so it was like June or July so like six months from that 549 00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:20,440 point would have been the end of the year so it'd been like 2024 so that seemed 550 00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:30,960 like a very good marker to map out and I I said that I wanted to go on a mountain 551 00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:38,920 trip and then I also wanted to like go to Spain for like three months and learn 552 00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:43,440 Spanish there is one other thing like I wanted to have a successful business or 553 00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:49,400 something like that and he basically said map that out for six months and then 554 00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:55,920 figure out like how much money you would have to make per month if you were to pay 555 00:55:55,920 --> 00:56:01,800 for these things on credit so if you were to basically pay for these over the 556 00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:08,400 course of six months how much would you have to make per month and it was probably 557 00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:12,640 like just ten thousand or something like that ten thousand dollars I think it was 558 00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:17,160 much less than that but I'd upped it to ten thousand dollars a month so that was 559 00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:20,080 like my goal by 560 00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:32,800 by January 1st like that was my in my lake on what's the word I don't even 561 00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:40,280 know the word that was my goal for January 1st from six months and he 562 00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:45,680 basically gave me like a very high hope like he has helped people get achieve 563 00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:52,880 their goals in a much shorter period of time than that and then I didn't follow 564 00:56:52,880 --> 00:57:01,040 his like model his plan and then I kind of like as you guys have heard in this 565 00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:07,320 past episode I kind of went off track kind of just worked on the podcast and 566 00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:11,760 I'm not really sure like what this is leading to I kind of lost my vision 567 00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:18,240 maybe it's just my mental shifting because I'm like not in a good state of 568 00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:22,640 health right now maybe it's that because I definitely know that that's a thing 569 00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:28,080 because back when I was training for all I wanted to do was make the high school 570 00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:32,280 soccer team and I was training relentlessly and then I got injured and I 571 00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:36,200 knew that my like I thought that my chances were up and I wasn't gonna be able 572 00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:40,640 to make it so once I got injured I just lost all hope and gave up everything 573 00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:46,960 just dropped everything in my life and that was like I was not a good state of 574 00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:53,120 physical health because I was injured and I was like mentally like extremely 575 00:57:53,120 --> 00:58:01,240 low so maybe I'm just in a low state of mental health but who knows only time 576 00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:05,880 will tell but it seems like I've been trending downwards over the past couple 577 00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:12,960 weeks I remember like in the episodes 90s I was already having doubts of whether 578 00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:17,400 one-hour episodes is even like good or not like once I stopped reading 579 00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:22,320 Transurfing once I finished it reading the second time I was having doubts of 580 00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:32,520 if I can even maintain one-hour episodes daily so there's a lot of things and I 581 00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:37,040 did I did one thing today that was actually helping me towards my goal 582 00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:42,400 which was I got my employer identification number which is just 583 00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:46,720 something that you need to open a bank account so I got that today for like 584 00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:55,440 literally an entire month and a half like a whole probably like 90 day or no 585 00:58:55,440 --> 00:59:03,600 40 days after when I said I was gonna do it is when I actually did it but at least 586 00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:11,920 I actually did it so that's something but I kind of ran out of things to say for 587 00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:17,400 this episode and I wonder why I even worry about one-hour long episodes 588 00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:22,960 because I'm sure this the algorithm doesn't really care of the difference 589 00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:27,080 between a 59 minute long episode and a one-hour episode because it's basically 590 00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:33,960 the same thing and like the difference between a 59 episode and a one-hour long 591 00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:37,640 episode is the same as the difference between a one-hour long episode and a 592 00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:43,560 one-hour one-minute episode so that I think that it's also been ingrained in 593 00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:48,160 my identity that I record daily one-hour episodes on my podcast so that's why I'm 594 00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:51,760 having such a hard time switching off of it even though it's literally been like 595 00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:58,120 two weeks since I over two weeks since I realized that this is probably not the 596 00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:04,480 best thing so that's make sure that you got to be very careful with your identity 597 01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:09,680 and that's something that I need to listen to myself say but that's it for 598 01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:23,960 today's episode so if you enjoyed it follow for more and have a good day
