72. Changes Impending

1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,240 This will change your life. 2 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:09,560 Alright, so if you guys have been avid listeners to this show, you'll know that I did not do 3 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:11,440 my intro. 4 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:17,000 And usually I have like a 30 second intro in the beginning of every single episode. 5 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:23,840 And that's because when I first started podcasting, I was, I started because I read a book called 6 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:30,640 Expert Secrets and in that book Russell Brunson actually went through and talked about, you 7 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:38,480 should start a podcast and then he actually gave like a example introduction. 8 00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:43,480 And it was the introduction that I have at the beginning of every single episode. 9 00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:50,480 But I'm actually at a business conference right now called Funnel Hacking Live. 10 00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:59,200 And it's actually funny because I just, I just learned about Russell Brunson's books 11 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:05,440 and click funnels and all that stuff a few months ago, like three months ago, I found 12 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:06,780 out about this stuff. 13 00:01:06,780 --> 00:01:16,000 And now I'm in Florida, like a thousand miles away from my home on my own with my friend. 14 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:21,000 And I'm at a business conference, which is actually amazing. 15 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,160 Already yesterday I was unable to record. 16 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,000 So it's been, I've been here two days now. 17 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,960 So yesterday was the first day of the event and tomorrow will be the second, or no, yesterday 18 00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:37,560 was the first and today is the second and then tomorrow is the third. 19 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,880 But I'm halfway done with today's actually. 20 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:51,960 So we had, I had, we got here at 8.30 in the morning and it's currently 1.50 right now. 21 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:59,400 We're just at lunch and I'm going to be honest, we don't really have any Tupperware or anything 22 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:00,480 to pack lunch. 23 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:08,600 So we basically brought three packs of carrots and a pack of dates and some butter. 24 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:09,600 And that's it. 25 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,400 That's where we're eating all day. 26 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,680 So today's a low calorie day for sure. 27 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:24,560 But I'm, I was going to record today during dinner time, but my friend wanted me to record 28 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,440 during lunch instead so he could record during dinner. 29 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:33,280 So I'm, I just did it because I'm at the mercy of his decision because I'm using his computer 30 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,320 to record. 31 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:42,720 But I want to talk about immersing yourself and surrounding yourself with like-minded 32 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:43,720 people. 33 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:51,720 So in my life at home, I'm always, I'm kind of like an outlier. 34 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:56,160 So if you've ever heard of the 1%, then that's us. 35 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,040 We're like the 1%. 36 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:06,600 And at home, I'm like on self-improvement and I'm doing all this stuff like I'm reading 37 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,880 books, going to the gym, all this stuff. 38 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,200 And no one else is doing that. 39 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:18,960 So all like 99% of the people that I surround myself with on a day to day basis are not 40 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:24,440 anything like me and they don't really do anything that I do. 41 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:33,600 But today or over the past couple of days, I've actually been at Florida and my friend, 42 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:39,080 I have one friend that is, well I have a few friends, but one friend who's in a similar 43 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,280 place to me and he's on self-improvement. 44 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:50,680 He's working on business and his name's Franklin and me and him went to Florida. 45 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:58,840 And it's actually crazy how, like how eye-opening and how life-changing this experience is because 46 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:07,400 we grew up in an environment of just middle class. 47 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:08,720 And so that was our mindset. 48 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:13,160 Our mindset was you had to work long hours and you had to work for someone else. 49 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:21,120 But at this event, I've already met like four or five millionaires just like that. 50 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:27,880 And like people here are just normal people, but they're just people who are going after 51 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:35,360 their dreams and it's amazing because I have conversations with people and you would never 52 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,680 even expect that they're like millionaires. 53 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:38,840 They seem like normal people. 54 00:04:38,840 --> 00:04:42,920 If you look around in the crowd of the event, there's like 5,000 people here. 55 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,640 And most people, they just look like normal people. 56 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:52,240 And so that it just shows, goes to show that anyone can become a millionaire. 57 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:58,560 And actually on the first day of the event, there was one guy that we sat next to. 58 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:03,600 His name was Gary and we didn't really talk the whole time because we were just paying 59 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,440 attention to the event and listening to the event. 60 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,880 But at the end, we were talking to him and he asked us what we do. 61 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:18,400 He told him and then we asked him what he does and he basically runs a spa. 62 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:27,840 So he's got like a local brick and mortar shop, just like a spa and he makes like 10 63 00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:31,880 mil or I don't even know how much like 5 mil a year. 64 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,760 It's absolutely insane. 65 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,720 And he was just a normal dude. 66 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:45,640 And then we were talking to him a lot more and he actually said like, you got to just 67 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,720 never work for another person. 68 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:55,000 Always work for yourself because he told us a story where when he was just graduated 69 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,800 high school, so when he was still in high school, he basically had two dads. 70 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,280 One was his biological dad, his father. 71 00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:05,600 And then there was another who was his uncle. 72 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:12,160 And so his father was, he would work for someone else and he didn't really have that great 73 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,160 of a life. 74 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,440 But his uncle was an entrepreneur, a business owner and he had an amazing life. 75 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:23,920 So what Gary did was he actually listened to his uncle's advice and actually followed 76 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,960 into his uncle, like everything that his uncle said to do. 77 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:34,520 And then what happened is once he was graduated. 78 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,560 So he went through high school and then graduated. 79 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:41,560 He never worked a single day of his life for somebody else. 80 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,960 And he literally just hustled. 81 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,320 So the moment he graduated, he would become like a salesman. 82 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:57,500 So he would walk door to door and he, at the beginning it took him like 100 knocks. 83 00:06:57,500 --> 00:07:04,480 So he would knock 100 times on 100 doors or no, it would, he would knock on way more 84 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,360 doors, but a hundred people would answer. 85 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:12,080 So every hundred people that answered the doors and he actually had a conversation with, he 86 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,880 would get one sale. 87 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,480 And then he kept on doing at it. 88 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,920 Like literally every single day he would knock on hundreds and hundreds of doors. 89 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:25,280 And towards like every single day it would go down to 80 and then 70 and then 60. 90 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:30,360 And then after a while he was able to knock on two doors and get one sale. 91 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:37,040 So that's like a simple thing that he did, consistency and hard work. 92 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:42,760 Discipline and consistency is literally all that he had in order to become great at sales 93 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,040 and make a lot of sales. 94 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,440 And I want to relate that back to the podcast. 95 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:54,200 I'm literally being consistent and I guess it's hard work to record one hour every day, 96 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,360 which I don't think it's very hard, but some people think it's pretty hard. 97 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,800 So that's consistency and hard work. 98 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:06,560 And then after a little bit you'll get better and better and better. 99 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,440 And then eventually you'll actually make it. 100 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:15,960 And then we were talking about it a lot more and then he said that the best habit to have 101 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,200 is to read books. 102 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,400 And then he said, make sure that you're reading the right types of books because it can mess 103 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,200 you up if you don't read the right types of books. 104 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:30,080 He actually talked about a few books, but he basically said that if you create a habit 105 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:40,880 to record or read and study for one hour a day, then you'll basically be guaranteed success. 106 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:47,280 And he actually, when he was looking at the guest speaker lineup for this event, he actually 107 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:52,400 went through and looked for the best speaker and found the best one and then bought their 108 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:58,320 book and he just sat, locked himself in his room for two days straight, didn't do anything 109 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,080 except for read that book. 110 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,960 And then he read that book and now he's well prepared for this business conference. 111 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,960 So reading that, and that's also goes with consistency and hard work. 112 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,080 Like most people don't want to read. 113 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,840 And so if you can stay consistent, read every day for every morning, which is what I've been 114 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:15,840 doing. 115 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:23,560 One of the, one very good marketing thing is to confirm people's suspicions. 116 00:09:23,560 --> 00:09:28,720 On my way to Funnel Hacking Live, over the past couple months, I've developed a lot of 117 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,840 good habits. 118 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:38,440 For example, I would read like an hour every morning, I would podcast an hour every afternoon. 119 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:47,080 And I would have all this consistency and reading and podcasting and a lot more different 120 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,080 things. 121 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,400 But I kind of had suspicions that I was on the right path forward, but I didn't know 122 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,080 for sure. 123 00:09:54,080 --> 00:10:00,240 And after yesterday and today, I know exactly that I know that I am actually on the right 124 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:07,160 path forward because yesterday there was one speaker that talked about short form videos. 125 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:15,960 And so he basically said that if you create, if you like basically post a TikTok every 126 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:22,120 day or post a short every single day, just like a 60 minute short every single day, then 127 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:23,920 eventually you will actually make it. 128 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:31,800 And so that is, I essentially knew that principle, but he went like deep into like his exact 129 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,920 journey, like his, he actually showed his graph. 130 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:40,800 So for two months, he was actually like losing followers. 131 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:45,000 And then that was like the first two months of him posting a short every single day. 132 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,240 And that was probably because he sucked at it. 133 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:53,760 And in the beginning, he like, he was so bad at like recording those videos. 134 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,000 And so it took him two months. 135 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,640 And then after two months, he was even, he broke even. 136 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,920 So he was gaining the same amount of followers as he was losing. 137 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:05,320 And that's probably because he picked up a little bit more skill to where people were 138 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,720 just like neutral with him. 139 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:12,680 And then on like the fifth month, I'm pretty sure it was the fifth month, his like account 140 00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:14,040 skyrocketed. 141 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:20,000 And his, there is on the graph that he showed, there was two lines, one line for unfollows 142 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,720 and then one line for new follows. 143 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:28,760 And the unfollows line was all the way on the, it was kind of like steady throughout the 144 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:36,240 whole time, but the follow line was low for the first two months, a little bit higher 145 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:37,600 for the next two months. 146 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,880 And then it just skyrocketed on month five. 147 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,520 And I'm on episode 72, so it's been like two months. 148 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,160 So right now I'm in the suck phase, like I'm in the sucky phase. 149 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,880 And then soon I'll shift and I'll hit a point where I'm actually going to start gaining 150 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:53,880 followers. 151 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,240 And then eventually I'll hit a point where I'm going to skyrocket. 152 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:04,120 And I understand that it's not going to be the same graph for everyone, but I feel like 153 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,640 I'm very glad that he showed that graph because right now I'm in the first two months, I'm 154 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,680 just two months in. 155 00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:19,440 And it's very, it gives me some ease and some like a little bit more understanding to know 156 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,640 that it took him five months to even get results. 157 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:33,640 So I don't feel bad about not having like all the way, not having that much results yet. 158 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:38,880 And with that said, I actually haven't checked my analytics in a couple of weeks, but that's 159 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,680 another thing I want to talk about. 160 00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:47,640 Today, another lady was speaking and she was a YouTuber, she's a YouTuber. 161 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:54,240 And she started in like 2019 and she actually showed her whole journey. 162 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,800 She started in like September or October. 163 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:04,400 And in like the first month, she like was pretty bad. 164 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:05,960 And it's always like bad. 165 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,800 And then she would post like once a week and then she'd get better and better and better. 166 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,040 The more practice she had that she posted once a week. 167 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:18,560 So she actually gave me so much insights, her speech was the best that I've, it was 168 00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:24,720 exactly what I needed to hear because she basically went through and talked about her 169 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:25,720 progress. 170 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:32,960 And she also said that the first three seconds were the most important of your videos or 171 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,560 podcasts or whatever your show is. 172 00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:41,200 And that's why I cut out my introduction because my introduction was just 30 seconds 173 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:42,200 of stupid. 174 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:47,360 Like, I was just speaking for 30 seconds mundane and it was stupid. 175 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:53,160 But that's why you need to capture everyone's attention within three seconds. 176 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:54,160 So that's my new rule. 177 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,360 That's why I had a hook in the beginning of this episode. 178 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:04,280 I tried to hook your attention so you would stay in and watch the whole episode. 179 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:08,160 And another thing that she said is don't ask people to subscribe. 180 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:14,560 Ask people to subscribe at the end and also at the end, send them to another video on 181 00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:19,400 your, on your show. 182 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,880 So that's one thing that I'm going to implement. 183 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,880 Send them to another video on your show. 184 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:30,160 And she basically went through and showed exactly like many different strategies on 185 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,200 how to find video ideas. 186 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:37,200 So one thing that she said was you create a dummy account. 187 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:43,040 So basically you go on YouTube and create a brand new account that is like a dummy person. 188 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:49,320 So it's a fake person, but it, that person represents your dream customer or your viewer, 189 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:50,320 your listener. 190 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:57,880 And then you basically like, I don't really 100% understand the concept just yet. 191 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:04,680 I have to go look at the replay if the replays are available. 192 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:11,600 But pretty much what I understand is you watch YouTube as your like viewer, your dream viewer, 193 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:16,200 and then you would go through and like look at all the suggested videos. 194 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,440 And then you would like see if your video is suggested. 195 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:25,480 And then on your video, you would look at the suggested videos and then you would figure 196 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,360 out what they're doing and basically model them. 197 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,560 And then you can find a bunch of video ideas from that. 198 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:39,280 But that's like, that's just the, just two speakers. 199 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:45,560 And there was like, probably, I think there's probably like 15 speakers already, I bet. 200 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:50,240 And yesterday we were, the keynote speaker was Jaco Willink. 201 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,880 So I was listening to Jaco Willink. 202 00:15:54,880 --> 00:16:00,120 But I want to also talk about another thing called the new thought movement. 203 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:05,200 So this is something that Russell Brunson was talking about on stage yesterday. 204 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,600 And this was his like first speech. 205 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:14,000 So basically he said that he's been treasure hunting for the past year. 206 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:19,560 So basically what that means is he was flying around the world looking for like documents 207 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:26,440 and artifacts and all kinds of books and stuff like that, that he could purchase that relates 208 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:27,840 to the new thought movement. 209 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:33,520 Now, what the new thought movement is, it's a, it's basically like reality transurfing. 210 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:38,680 So if you've been listening to this show, you'll definitely know what reality transurfing 211 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,040 is. 212 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:45,360 And if you don't know what it is, it's basically a method of thinking. 213 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,240 And it's, it actually, reality transurfing is a book. 214 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:56,040 So transurfing is basically it relates to how you perceive the world, your worldview, 215 00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:01,880 your attitude towards the world, your thoughts, your everything that goes on in your mind 216 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,640 relates to transurfing. 217 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:11,200 And the new thought movement is basically that it's like a movement that started in 1850s 218 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:17,960 where people actually realized that the way you think actually affects the course of your 219 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,560 life. 220 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:25,600 And it was very like awesome to see that Russell Brunson has actually been looking into this 221 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,680 stuff and he's like going deep. 222 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:32,680 And he's like starting his own library and he's building his own library in his house 223 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,200 about the new thought movement. 224 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:39,200 And the fact that he is getting so deep into this stuff really confers my suspicions as 225 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,000 well because I'm going deep into this stuff as well. 226 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,840 And I know that I'm on the right track now. 227 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,600 But that's pretty much the new thought movement. 228 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:58,440 And he actually had a few books or he listed like nine or six people. 229 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:03,080 I don't know the exact number, maybe eight people that are revolutionary. 230 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,680 And he said that he's going to be talking about it a lot more. 231 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,080 Now let's talk about this one quote that I heard. 232 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:15,320 The billionaires of tomorrow are building their brands today. 233 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:24,360 And that is, that makes a lot of sense because if you look at Mr. Beast, Mr. Beast is a billionaire. 234 00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:29,880 And he has spent like the past probably like 10, I don't even know how long he's been on 235 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:36,640 YouTube, but he's spent the past like half a decade or a decade on building his brand 236 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,840 and creating YouTube videos. 237 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:45,080 And now he's building like, so now that he has this huge audience, huge follower base, 238 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:50,080 and like this cult following, he's got like a hundred, he's got more than a hundred million 239 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:51,240 subscribers on YouTube. 240 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:58,600 Now that he's got all of these people that follow him, he can build businesses and like 241 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:05,040 basically use that audience and promote that traffic, all that traffic towards that business. 242 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:11,640 And that's why he's been so successful because he launched a burger chain, Mr. Beast burger. 243 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:18,240 And he basically just promoted it on his show, on his YouTube channel and it became an overnight 244 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,240 success. 245 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:24,880 Like thousands of people flew across the country just to get a burger from a fast food joint. 246 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,920 Like that is an insane thing. 247 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:33,400 And then he launched another chocolate bar company. 248 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,920 And once again, he followed the same process. 249 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:45,480 He leveraged his like traffic, all of his following his channel to send it to the, send 250 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,560 all of them to buy candy bars, chocolate bars. 251 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:55,920 So and now like he's a billionaire and that's exactly like what Elon Musk does as well. 252 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,600 Like no one cares about Tesla. 253 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:02,360 I mean, people care about Tesla, but on Twitter, like people follow Elon Musk. 254 00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:05,560 Like Elon Musk is so much more entertaining than Tesla. 255 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:10,520 That's why so many people followed Elon Musk, but not necessarily Tesla. 256 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,080 So basically the billionaires of tomorrow are building their brands today. 257 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:20,600 And now I know I'm on the right, on the right path forward because that's exactly what I'm 258 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:21,600 doing right now. 259 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,760 I've been working on this podcast for quite some time and I plan on working for quite 260 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,520 some more time. 261 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:34,400 And also another thing that I want to talk about is I realize now that I need to be making 262 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:35,400 shorts. 263 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:41,280 So I kind of was brought, this was brought to my attention a while ago because when I 264 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,880 first started recording my podcast, I was actually recording shorts as well, but they 265 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,240 weren't necessarily linked to the podcast. 266 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:55,000 They were just kind of separate things and they were TikToks, but I didn't post any of 267 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,000 them. 268 00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:01,720 And I did this for probably like six days and I would record three podcasts a day for 269 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:02,720 six days. 270 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,000 But I got like 19, not podcasts. 271 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,920 I got TikToks. 272 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:12,160 I basically recorded like 19 TikToks. 273 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,160 And then I kind of stopped because I felt that I wasn't going to be able to keep this 274 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:22,920 routine up because I wanted to focus on like the big mover like podcasts. 275 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:27,320 I wanted to focus on the podcast a lot more and I didn't think that I would be able to 276 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:35,160 be consistent at both at the beginning at least and I definitely planned on starting 277 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:40,320 shorts again in the future once I basically became proficient at podcast, not necessarily 278 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:46,560 proficient at podcasting, but consistent enough for a decent amount of time to where it's 279 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,000 easy to do it. 280 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,120 So for example, when I first started going to the gym, it took some willpower to go to 281 00:21:52,120 --> 00:21:58,160 the gym for the first few weeks or months and then eventually a positive feedback loop 282 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:02,800 formed and then going to the gym actually became like pleasurable and I actually wanted 283 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,160 to go to the gym instead of not. 284 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:13,880 And so that's basically why I dropped the shorts because if you record shorts, then 285 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:19,920 it would take a little bit of time to actually get like the positive feedback loop rolled. 286 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,560 And then I was doing shorts and podcasts. 287 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:29,080 So that's basically, it would take, I didn't want to risk dropping them both. 288 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:34,240 So I just dropped the short and then focus on podcasting so I could build that positive 289 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:40,160 feedback loop and then eventually I recorded the podcast or eventually now I'm going to 290 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,440 start the shorts. 291 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,320 I definitely plan on starting them. 292 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:50,360 I don't know when I'm going to start them, but I definitely plan on starting them soon 293 00:22:50,360 --> 00:22:55,800 because yesterday one of the speakers that I was talking about earlier was talking about, 294 00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:03,720 he was talking all about the shorts and how if you post a short a day, it'll like absolutely 295 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:09,120 revolutionize your business and everything like that. 296 00:23:09,120 --> 00:23:18,280 So I think that instead of just posting on its own short like I did on my like when I 297 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:24,120 first started, I'm going to post like maybe I'd have to figure out how many I want to 298 00:23:24,120 --> 00:23:25,120 record. 299 00:23:25,120 --> 00:23:29,880 I'd either do one or three shorts per day. 300 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:34,040 So I'd have to figure that out depending on how long it takes to do it. 301 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:39,240 I don't want to spend, I would want to do this during my editing because I already have 302 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:45,320 to do like spend like 30 minutes editing the podcast because it takes like 30 minutes for 303 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:54,760 the software to actually automatically like reduce the background noise, level the audio 304 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:59,360 levels and all that kind of stuff and then actually download it and then post it takes 305 00:23:59,360 --> 00:24:07,040 like 30 minutes at a time. So if I just right after my podcast, I actually plan on doing 306 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:13,560 a short based off of what I just talked about because this is what Hamza does. 307 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:22,040 So Hamza is a YouTuber that I used to watch that is basically a role model to me and my 308 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:28,880 friend actually showed me his channel again and showed that he's making longer form videos 309 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:37,000 and then he is taking little concepts from that video and then turning them into a short. 310 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:43,960 So he basically creates a long like hour and a half long video and then gets like nine 311 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:49,640 or three, I don't know the exact number of shorts that he gets out of that, but he basically 312 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:54,240 gets a few shorts out of that long video from that video. 313 00:24:54,240 --> 00:25:00,840 So basically if he was talking about like going to the gym and lifting weights for 90 314 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:07,720 minutes in the video, he would basically create a short about one specific topic that he talked 315 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:14,480 about in that video and that would allow him to basically post that short and then drive 316 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:20,680 traffic from the short. So he get a lot more views on the short and then all the traffic 317 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:25,240 that he got from that short at the end of the video, he would actually have a call to 318 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:30,840 action to go watch. He said like, if you like this, go watch the full unedited like full 319 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:37,160 length unedited video and then he would like give a link or something like that. So that 320 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,040 is basically like his strategy and I was aware of that over the past couple of weeks, but 321 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:46,520 I never really implemented it until a lot of times when you hear something, you don't 322 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:55,720 implement it until like you hear it again. That's what happens a lot. And then for example, 323 00:25:55,720 --> 00:26:02,240 my dad told me to read the book called the alchemist and I understood that it was a good 324 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:10,400 book, but I didn't actually implement it until I, well, even then I heard it again on the 325 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:15,200 Hamza's reading list. I saw the alchemist on that and I still didn't implement it, but 326 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:20,320 then I implemented it. It took me like a little bit longer to actually implement it. So I 327 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:25,000 had to wait for the actual opportunity to present it itself. And in that specific case, 328 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:34,200 the opportunity was me in class. We, in my English class, we have 30 minutes to do independent 329 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:39,840 reading or 20 minutes every Monday and Friday to do independent reading. So that was the 330 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:49,640 opportunity. So usually you, it doesn't, you don't, what am I trying to say? Like I originally 331 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:56,960 saw this strategy on Hamza and I didn't implement it until, well, I actually haven't implemented 332 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:02,120 it yet, but this is the second time that I saw it yesterday when that speaker talked 333 00:27:02,120 --> 00:27:05,840 about it and he actually gave us a book all about it. So I'm definitely going to be reading 334 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:11,800 that next. And that, that's the thing. And before Funnel Hacking Live, I created this 335 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:18,640 whole plan of books to read next. And I was conscious of the fact that Funnel Hacking 336 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:24,280 Live will definitely shift me and I may not want to read these books next. And so I decided 337 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:31,080 to just wait. And then once I got to Funnel Hacking Live, I am just waiting for like the 338 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:37,440 next books to present themselves. And what I ended up doing is we actually received a 339 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:45,280 book for free. It's called Create, Don't Capture. And I forgot the author's name, but 340 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:49,960 I'll definitely be, I'll definitely know the author's name as I read it, but that's the 341 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:55,640 next book that I'm going to be reading. And basically, like my, in essence, my plan is 342 00:27:55,640 --> 00:28:02,000 to incorporate all of these strategies. Like for now, like now that I know the first three 343 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:07,640 seconds is the most important in your video, I'm dropping the intro. Like that's stupid. 344 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:12,160 And I already had suspicions to drop my intro like the other day, I was talking to my friend, 345 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:16,600 I was like, should I just drop my intro? It's kind of stupid. And then today I'm definitely 346 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:21,960 dropping it. And then another thing is I'm going to add a hook to the first three seconds 347 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:28,120 of my video because hooks are essential because if you don't hook their attention, they won't 348 00:28:28,120 --> 00:28:34,600 listen to the video. And then after every single video I'm going to be while I'm editing, 349 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:42,560 I'm going to be recording a TikTok or like a YouTube short or something like that. And 350 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:49,680 I haven't decided whether one or three or two, I don't know, but that will help drive traffic 351 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:57,520 to the podcast. So that's huge. And then what else is there? We were talking, Jaco 352 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,880 Willink came last night and he was basically talking about extreme ownership and taking 353 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:09,640 100% ownership of your business and all your failures. So I really liked him and I might 354 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:19,440 read his books, but probably not for a little bit while. But tonight, okay, so Garrett J. 355 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:25,440 White came and one thing that, okay, let me just talk about this. One thing that I really 356 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:32,800 noticed is throughout the whole event, I was thinking I want to be on that stage, like 357 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:38,960 not necessarily fun-hacking live stage, but I want to be on a stage. And I was thinking 358 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:45,560 that I grew so much over the past couple of months just from doing like comfort zone challenges 359 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:51,400 and like just a bunch of stuff. I grew so much over the past couple of months. And then 360 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:57,760 I remember like a year ago, if I were to think about like even talking to a stranger, I would 361 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:04,440 like be nervous. But now I'm actually having like aspirations of being a public speaker 362 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:10,280 and doing all this stuff. But I don't know. And then I want to talk about the business. 363 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:15,040 I'm sorry, this episode is going to be a lot about business because that's like the mindset 364 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:20,320 I'm in right now because I'm at a business conference. But I want to talk about the business 365 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:26,680 because right now the theme of this year's event is called the Lynch Pin. And it's basically 366 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:33,240 all about continuity. So it's like a membership service. So anytime you have a recurring revenue, 367 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:43,360 so that be like if you are subscribed to like Netflix or just like any subscription or membership 368 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:49,720 service. And then even if you're like on Amazon, there's like options for if there's things 369 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:56,620 that you can get multiple times, like let's say you buy toilet paper, there's an option 370 00:30:56,620 --> 00:31:05,240 that says subscribe and save. That's continuity, that's recurring revenue. And that's basically 371 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:11,680 what I'm like. That is what I definitely am going to be moving forward on because I know 372 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:18,640 that continuity is everything in business. Because this whole event is tailored to get 373 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:28,560 us to want to do continuity and basically focus on continuity. So also networking is 374 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:35,120 a huge piece of business events. And one thing that I realized is when I'm networking, when 375 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:40,120 I first came here, I was like, I'm not really doing anything. But now I realize that what 376 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:45,160 I'm doing right now for business is I'm just focusing on my podcast and trying to find 377 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:52,280 my voice. And I keep on telling people that I'm podcasting and finding my voice and then 378 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:58,760 waiting for like the path to present itself and waiting for something to happen. And that's 379 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:04,920 basically what I plan because I know that once I find my voice and actually the speaker 380 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:14,400 today was saying that step one to creating like a membership or a continuity is to have 381 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:19,440 like a small following like of 100 people or like a couple hundred people. That's literally 382 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:25,920 easy. I don't know how many people are following me right now. But last time I checked it was 383 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:34,120 seven. So like if and like 100 people is not that much like you see people with millions 384 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:41,280 of followers. So 100 is simple. And actually, a few of my friends when they used to do YouTube, 385 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:49,160 they had like 100 followers. So it's not that difficult to get 100 followers. That's basically 386 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:55,960 the first step to creating a continuity like membership program. And then after that, you 387 00:32:55,960 --> 00:33:02,280 basically create your program and then you send all of your people to that program. So 388 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:09,400 that's basically I've been waiting for things to happen in my podcast. And now I'm learning 389 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:14,000 a lot of tools to be proactive and actually get things to happen on like actually get 390 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:19,160 move the move the wheel forward and get things to happen. Like many different small things 391 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:24,320 I'm starting right now is the shorts and then the hook cutting out my intro. All these things 392 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:30,960 are small things that are happening that will help me move forward. And also, I know that 393 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:35,280 once I have like a decent following, I'll be able to ask people because a lot of one 394 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:40,160 of the biggest concepts is asking your client what they want like asking your dream customer 395 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:45,720 what they want. So I'll basically just create an episode. And like I've actually been doing 396 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:54,120 this in the past where I dropped my email and I'm like, everyone who is like if you 397 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:59,760 have a problem, then email me and then if there's enough people who have the similar 398 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:05,400 problem, solve it. And that's like that's also what I was thinking. Once I get enough 399 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:13,120 people, I think that the one of the first steps on the path is creating a coaching program 400 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:20,560 because having a coaching program, Hamza did a coaching program and he was able to learn 401 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:26,560 a lot because if I have like a bunch of people and then I do a coaching like individual one 402 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:31,840 on one coaching, then you can basically have like one on one sessions with people and then 403 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:37,320 you'll like be able to learn what they want. And then you'll be able to learn exactly all 404 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:43,880 the problems they have. And then you'll be able to see like common themes. That's that 405 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:53,320 was actually my strategy a couple, actually a couple weeks ago was once I checked my analytics, 406 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:58,440 my strategy was if I had a high number and a lot of people are listening, I would offer 407 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:06,960 a coaching program and then promote it onto the podcast and then I would like coach five 408 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:13,760 people, see a common theme and then solve it. And now I'm figuring out like more better 409 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:21,640 ways to solve it because continuity is an extremely good like continuity is everything 410 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:28,120 in a business. But I'm sorry if this episode is not like as great as the other episodes 411 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:32,520 because I am sitting outside in Florida and there's a bunch of people around a lot of 412 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:38,080 distractions. And but this is like the best that I could find. This is the best spot that 413 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:44,920 I could find. And I'm like tonight is going to be awesome. I'm pretty sure Gary J. White 414 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:54,440 is speaking again tonight. And he is all about like he's all about motivation. But he's 415 00:35:54,440 --> 00:36:01,640 he's also saying that well, let me talk about let me can completely switch the topic to I 416 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:07,760 want to talk more about networking. Now, networking was a big fear that I had come in here. Like 417 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:17,040 I'm an introvert and I don't have a very large comfort zone yet. And but over the past couple 418 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:23,240 like weeks and months, I've been doing a lot sorry if you can hear this noise but I'm 419 00:36:23,240 --> 00:36:30,160 recording outside and the spot that I chose has barely any shade and the sun is moving 420 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:36,600 around. And so the computer that I'm recording on was in the shade but now it's in the sun 421 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:43,920 and it got really hot so I had to move it but pretty much the networking is so valuable 422 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:47,600 because when I was coming when I was like when I knew I was going to come I knew that 423 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:57,560 networking was great. But one thing is that networking is so valuable. Now I think I talked 424 00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:02,680 about this on yesterday's episode but literally the first day we were here during registration 425 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:10,960 day zero of the event, I saw two dudes networking and one they literally just met and one dude 426 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:17,800 literally hooked the other guy up with so many leads and so many like potential clients 427 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:23,000 and it was like an amazing sight to see. So right there I already like learned of the 428 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:29,200 value of networking and then but I was still like a little nervous to network and then 429 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:34,960 once I just did it like I didn't to be honest I didn't even like I didn't even walk up to 430 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:44,960 many people but once I actually did it I was super what am I trying to say once I once 431 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:51,680 I actually did it then like all the excess potential just dissipated and it was like 432 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:56,520 what am I trying to say the excess potential dissipate I'm sorry I'm like very distracted 433 00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:02,440 right now because I can see someone in the corner of my eye but all the excess potential 434 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:08,400 dissipated and then I was comfortable talking. Now I made a few mistakes like for the first 435 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:12,120 couple network things that I was just talking about myself and then I became conscious of 436 00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:19,280 that and then I started asking other people and I've met like a bunch of people and like 437 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:25,480 they're all millionaires like everyone here are business owners and everyone here are 438 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:33,040 like millionaires so that's another thing the biggest lesson is to surround yourself 439 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:39,480 with like-minded people. Now let me explain so probably like so I started self-improvement 440 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:47,960 let's just say one year ago I started reading my first books like one in September of 2022 441 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:55,120 and so I was working on that and then I heard this quote of the your five people you spend 442 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:59,480 the most time with or you're the average of the five people you spend your most time with 443 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:04,960 and I kind of just assumed that it didn't really affect me I kind of just assumed that 444 00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:11,880 I can just stay indifferent to other people and that I can just not like make them pull 445 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:17,040 me down because at this time I was doing a lot of like high values high value habits 446 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:23,040 like reading and going to the gym and a lot of this stuff and eating healthy and then 447 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:28,960 most of my friends were not and so I just assumed that I could just be indifferent and 448 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:35,120 not really be affected by them but what I found out was I actually didn't find this 449 00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:40,120 out until a couple months ago when I met my friend Franklin who is on self-improvement 450 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:48,960 and is on a similar path to me and it was absolutely insane because we grew so much 451 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:55,400 like and so it wasn't until a couple months ago it wasn't until a couple weeks or months 452 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:59,400 after I met him when I realized that and I talked about this on my episode on my show 453 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:05,400 before that I realized you're not just losing out on the fact that all those five other 454 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:10,360 people are pulling you down yeah they're pulling you down even if you're indifferent to it 455 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:14,120 but you're also missing out on the fact that those five people are not going to be able 456 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:22,080 to like pull you up and I realized this I've only met two people that are on self-improvement 457 00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:26,400 and one of them I don't even spend that much time with but one of them I spent a lot of 458 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:33,280 time with Franklin and we realized that over summer we spend the majority of our time with 459 00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:38,880 each other and we're able to pull each other up and so that's huge because in my current 460 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:48,320 school I go to school and there is like everyone is like going to college and everyone is going 461 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:53,920 on their own paths like the traditional path and that's not what I'm doing but I pretty 462 00:40:53,920 --> 00:41:00,440 much spend my entire day at school with all these people and now I'm staying indifferent 463 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:04,800 like I don't really talk to many people at school I just have like simple conversations 464 00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:10,360 with them I don't really hang out much but I'm trying to stay indifferent which is like 465 00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:15,560 I'm doing the best I can but I'm missing out on the fact of other people can pull me up 466 00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:19,040 and I realized that again like that was the biggest lesson that I learned coming to Fun 467 00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:26,240 and I Can Live because literally on the first day of the event we I sat next to a multi-millionaire 468 00:41:26,240 --> 00:41:33,680 he makes multi-million dollars every year in income in his business and like just talking 469 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:39,080 to him for like we probably talked to him for like 10 20 minutes maybe just that one 470 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:47,560 conversation we had with him it was so amazing like he we were just talking about all like 471 00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:52,680 literally I did not learn anything new from him but he confirmed all of my suspicions 472 00:41:52,680 --> 00:42:02,000 because he was probably like 50 60 years old like he was a pretty old dude and I like 473 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:09,000 he is like 50 years ahead of me on this path and he confirmed everything all my suspicions 474 00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:15,200 of whether I'm doing everything right because throughout my podcast like throughout my journey 475 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:20,200 I knew that I was doing all like I was I knew I was doing the habits of millionaires and 476 00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:28,640 I knew that I was like on the right path but those were just my suspicions but now talking 477 00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:35,160 to this one guy just one guy who is like 50 years ahead of me all of my suspicions were 478 00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:42,280 confirmed he said meditate he said talk to people like network and all this stuff and 479 00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:48,120 all my suspicions are confirmed it's amazing so that's one guy that we spent time with 480 00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:54,240 who is a millionaire and that he like pulled us up and then there's other people that we 481 00:42:54,240 --> 00:42:59,600 were talking to that were like on a similar they were like there's like two people who 482 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:05,000 were like in their 20s like 26 years old and they were just starting their businesses as 483 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:11,720 well similar to us who are able to pull us up as well so even though we're not even if 484 00:43:11,720 --> 00:43:17,040 we talk to like people who are in the same level as us they're pulling us up so that's 485 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:21,640 why I really believe in the you're the average of the five most people you spend five people 486 00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:28,480 you spend the most time with because like I'm just looking around and in the event they 487 00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:34,320 talk about like there's a thing called the two comma club it's basically if you have 488 00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:42,760 earned two million or earned one million dollars in revenue in a funnel and there were thousands 489 00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:50,360 of people in the audience so there's like five thousand people there in attendance and they're 490 00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:54,800 like who are my two comma club winners and then thousands of people are talking and then 491 00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:59,080 there's like this inner circle that you have to pay like fifty thousand dollars a year or 492 00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:04,960 like two hundred fifty thousand dollars a year to get into and we saw so many people and 493 00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:12,280 the most amazing thing is they all look like normal people they just look like you and I 494 00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:19,920 so that's another thing limiting beliefs I am grown up like there's a quote in Transurfing 495 00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:25,320 where your worldview is exactly what it's you are taught for it to be so you basically 496 00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:32,280 think in exactly the same way where you're supposed to think and your worldview is like 497 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:39,640 been formed and created by like your upcoming and so basically I grew up in a middle class 498 00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:48,000 house and my worldview was basically formed by that so I grew up seeing all like the normal 499 00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:53,720 people because normal people are basically you the your definition of normal people is 500 00:44:53,720 --> 00:45:00,040 people who you see on a day to day basis so I'm I can see probably like 20 people in my 501 00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:05,000 field of vision right now so these are the types of people that I see on a day to day 502 00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:11,800 basis so they become my definition of normal people now normal people differs from everyone 503 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:18,240 so if you are born into a hunter gather tribe with completely different clothing then those 504 00:45:18,240 --> 00:45:24,160 are your normal people so if you come into my world as a hunter gather and you see all 505 00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:29,040 my normal people they're not going to be normal to you it does that make sense so basically 506 00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:35,920 my normal people are middle class and then the whole reason and I see middle class as 507 00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:44,000 normal I don't see them as having any particular like strong qualities or any particular thing 508 00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:50,520 like attributes to them and the normal people to me are middle class that's just exactly 509 00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:55,160 how I was raised but going to this event now I'm seeing all these normal people and they're 510 00:45:55,160 --> 00:46:01,080 millionaires so you're the average of five people you spend your most time with so if 511 00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:05,400 you spend your most time with millionaires and you see them as normal people well you're 512 00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:09,280 going to automatically want to assimilate into that and you're going to automatically 513 00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:14,960 want to become normal like most people are normal and you're not going to want to be 514 00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:21,000 an outlier because that's natural human like tendencies like primitive tendencies and so 515 00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:25,360 naturally your normal will become millionaire and then you'll become a millionaire so that's 516 00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:32,880 another reason why simply just passively being here not even necessarily doing much here 517 00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:39,360 is so game changing because I'm I talked to like I've already said this multiple times 518 00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:42,520 I've talked to like 10 people and there's probably two people walking by right now that 519 00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:48,120 are millionaires so that's all about you're the average of the five most people you spend 520 00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:54,120 your most time with shoot sorry about that interruption that was actually not my phone 521 00:46:54,120 --> 00:47:00,440 it was Franklin's phone that was the first time I've ever actually had a phone call 522 00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:09,600 in the middle of my podcast and it was because his call his phone was on not on silent so 523 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:14,560 I'm actually going to power it off right now because this is my podcast and I don't want 524 00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:23,440 his phone on but that actually just goes to show one very important thing making sure 525 00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:29,440 that you create your environment exactly how you want it to be so let me explain basically 526 00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:39,000 I made sure that my environment when I podcast like at home right now I don't really have 527 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:43,680 much control because I'm at Florida and I'm at like a hotel that I'm not even staying 528 00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:51,400 at so shoot I think okay I close my computer but right now I'm at an environment that I'm 529 00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:55,680 not really in much control about I'm out in public recording now I probably could have 530 00:47:55,680 --> 00:48:02,640 done a better job finding a finding a location to record with less distractions but that 531 00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:09,040 is one important thing in your work in your day to day basis all of your things you have 532 00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:13,280 to take control of your environment this is like the first time I heard about this lesson 533 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:19,680 was in the book called the millionaire fast lane by MJ DeMarco he basically he basically 534 00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:26,120 talked about how when he was first when he was still living at his parents house trying 535 00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:32,600 to become a millionaire he was living in his mom's basement and one of the things is he 536 00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:39,960 was living in Chicago and he has like seasonal depression and that was like a big bad thing 537 00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:45,360 for him and he didn't realize that he could actually change and control his environment 538 00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:51,280 so what he did was he literally just picked up his bags and moved across the country to 539 00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:55,760 the sunniest place in the world and so that is one way he changed his environment so that's 540 00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,560 the first that's like the first lesson that I learned about changing your environment 541 00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:04,960 and so I knew about that but I didn't really I wasn't really conscious when I was making 542 00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:13,360 these decisions so I kind of like subconsciously controlled my environment because a year ago 543 00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:20,520 my room I had a bed and a TV mounted to the wall and I had my PC all my gaming stuff my 544 00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:25,880 Xbox in my room and then I realized that I could actually control my environment put 545 00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:31,400 because even after I stopped playing video games I realized that this stuff was still 546 00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:38,040 a distraction and so I would I literally just got rid of all of my stuff in my room and 547 00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:45,680 it became minimalist and then I realized that I wanted to focus on studying and I wanted 548 00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:51,400 to focus on meditating as well so studying and meditating is one of the things that I 549 00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:57,160 wanted to get into like hardcore because I knew that those were two successful habits 550 00:49:57,160 --> 00:50:03,720 to have studying and meditating and so I was like I was questioning like how can I make 551 00:50:03,720 --> 00:50:10,120 this the easiest possible to be consistent so I was thinking like I tried to meditate 552 00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:18,120 in my in the gym and it didn't really work out very well because it's hard to be consistent 553 00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:21,800 and meditating if you're meditating in the gym because you can't really control that 554 00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:28,320 environment because most people like there's people that walk by and then in the gym if 555 00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:34,480 you have a rest day you're resting from meditation as well so I was trying to figure out how 556 00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:39,360 I could make it like a consistent practice and so what I ended up doing was I tried to 557 00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:47,840 find a mat to meditate on and I found a tatami mat because I just watched a video about sleep 558 00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:54,080 and in that sleep video he basically recommended a tatami mat and so this is like a tatami mat 559 00:50:54,080 --> 00:51:02,240 who is all about it's just like a straw grass this is a grass straw mat and this this mat 560 00:51:02,240 --> 00:51:07,520 I bought just for meditation I put it in my room and I was consistent and then I ended 561 00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:12,640 up wanting to study and so I basically got rid of everything in my room except for that mat 562 00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:18,800 and that basically made it so there was no distractions absolutely zero distractions 563 00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:25,920 in my room at all zero and so now I have ever since that I did that probably like one or two 564 00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:32,160 probably like two months ago and ever since then it I've been extremely consistent no I think it 565 00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:39,360 was three months ago I've been extremely consistent at meditating and studying so that is like if you 566 00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:45,440 want to be successful in like a certain thing control your environment and make it the easiest 567 00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:53,760 possible so when you are so that's like that relates to me right now I'm podcasting and I'm 568 00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:59,520 actually like a little stressed out because everyone's going inside and I think I'm missing the event 569 00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:05,280 but I still have eight minutes left so that's another thing that I failed on to control my 570 00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:12,000 environment controlling your environment is so important like you need to control your environment 571 00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:20,080 that's like that and I didn't even learn about that at fun life in life yet but tonight we're 572 00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:27,760 actually I believe the next thing that is planned is the awards ceremony for fun life in life and 573 00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:35,520 this award ceremony is basically like a two hour long award ceremony which I refer to the 574 00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:43,680 two comma club earlier and it's like that it's basically a club or it's basically the award 575 00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:53,920 you were you are receive when you make a funnel that creates one million in sales and this when 576 00:52:53,920 --> 00:53:00,640 this when you do this you basically receive the two comma club award and click funnels provides that 577 00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:07,280 and there are like I think there's like thousands of people in the two comma club now and there's 578 00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:16,960 been like 400 people that received a two comma club award since last fun life in life so on today 579 00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:23,360 is actually going to be the two comma club award ceremony and the two comma club x and the two comma 580 00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:31,200 club c so pretty much I'm going to be watching a bunch of normal people that look like you and me go 581 00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:38,080 on stage in front of 5000 people and receive an award that they had earned by creating a business 582 00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:50,480 that that generated one million ten million or like five 100 million in revenue so I'm going to be 583 00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:57,440 seeing a bunch of people that look just like me on stage winning an award doing something that I 584 00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:08,160 strive to do so that's going to be another very good like life-changing um thing but one thing is 585 00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:16,960 Gary J. White it was on stage today and he's basically the founder of wake up warrior and 586 00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:25,200 he's a beast so he's like the man he if you think of a masculine man he is basically what will come 587 00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:34,480 up and he was on stage just talking about business and he's usually like motivational so he was on 588 00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:40,800 stage just for business and in I'm pretty sure he's going to do his motivational one on in like a 589 00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:48,640 week or or not a week but today or tomorrow or the next day and pretty much he was on stage and 590 00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:53,760 to be honest I completely forgot where I was going with this because I keep on seeing people 591 00:54:54,480 --> 00:55:00,160 that I'm getting distracted by so that's another thing of the event or control your environment but 592 00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:07,680 Gary oh this is what I was saying Gary J. White was talking about how you cannot be consuming so 593 00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:13,680 much content and this is something I realized in funnel hacking live because we're sitting in a chair 594 00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:20,560 for hours like literally today we're at funnel hacking live for 14 hours with only like two 595 00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:27,040 breaks of dinner and lunch so and we're consuming so much content and this is something me and my 596 00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:31,840 friend Franklin realized yesterday after the event we got home and we're like so what happened today 597 00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:37,760 and I was like I have no idea I completely forgot everything that happened and like that's the issue 598 00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:45,280 we consume so much content like do not consume so much content and he actually preaches consume as 599 00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:50,720 little content as possible and make sure that that content is extremely high quality and that's why 600 00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:56,720 business like that's what he does in business click funnels does this and Gary J. White does this in 601 00:55:56,720 --> 00:56:05,760 business so basically when you have a bunch of content this you don't want to put out so much 602 00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:13,280 content you want to I'm not talking about like general like YouTube channel I'm talking about 603 00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:19,200 if you're creating a course like a membership course like the continuity program that I really want 604 00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:24,160 to do but I don't really know how to move forward on so you don't want to place all of your content 605 00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:33,280 in there you want to curate all that content and create the most dense piece of like content possible 606 00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:39,920 and then that will basically get the person to move as quickly and optimally towards their goal 607 00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:48,080 and so what happens is they're able to go on this and then it consumes little content as possible 608 00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:54,480 and so Gary J. White is big on meditation and so he doesn't like consuming a lot of content and 609 00:56:54,480 --> 00:57:00,960 that's what I've been doing yesterday and today which I'm very conscious of but I want to consume 610 00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:06,240 it all because this is an event that only happens once a year and this is my first time ever doing 611 00:57:06,240 --> 00:57:10,720 anything like this so I'm consuming everything so I'm making the exception to the rule right now but 612 00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:17,120 basically if you consume as little content as possible but make sure it's the most high quality 613 00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:23,120 content and then he says meditate like make sure your mind is clear he said conscious awareness 614 00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:30,480 conscious awakening and that is like all about making sure that you're listening to the most 615 00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:40,320 information high quality stuff possible and that's another thing Gary yesterday we were the guy that 616 00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:44,160 the millionaire that me and my friend were talking about yesterday we were talking to him 617 00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:50,320 and he when I was saying this relates to what he said he said make sure you're studying a book 618 00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:54,640 or make sure you're studying for one hour every day at least and make it a habit 619 00:57:55,280 --> 00:58:01,440 like studying a book and he said he also said make sure that you're reading like good high 620 00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:07,120 quality books like don't read some trash garbage make sure that you're reading the most high quality 621 00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:13,520 books possible and then he gave like an example principles by Ray Dalio he said he's gonna listen 622 00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:18,560 to everything he says because he is like a millionaire he knows exactly what he's talking about 623 00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:26,320 and he has what he's and like don't read some book by Joe Schmoe that they don't even know anything 624 00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:30,640 about like they don't even know anything about the thing they're talking about so that's another 625 00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:37,760 thing like make sure you're consuming as little content as possible and but that's another thing 626 00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:44,160 like I'm producing a lot of content so naturally I want people to consume all of my content but 627 00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:51,600 if you really want to move forward can make sure okay so let me explain this I was in a stage like 628 00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:56,320 a couple months ago where I was consuming a lot of content but I was making sure I was listening 629 00:58:56,320 --> 00:59:02,080 to the highest quality possible so I was listening to Hamza um diary of a CEO like the highest quality 630 00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:07,200 content but I was still consuming it in mass and then I and then there's a turning point that you 631 00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:13,360 have to get to where you're basically you shift from not even consuming anything and that's actually 632 00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:18,880 what happens eventually you end up consuming nothing like that's what I'm doing so if you 633 00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:24,480 I recommend you consume as much content as possible so listen to my stuff if you think that 634 00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:29,680 my stuff is the most important for you listen to it and then eventually once you get to a point where 635 00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:39,360 you're like self-sustainable then that's when you make the shift and cut out all content and all media 636 00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:44,400 everything like I'm not even the only content that I've been listening to for the past like 637 00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:53,360 couple like honestly the last couple months is obviously school but other than that it's been 638 00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:58,640 this for my life like this is the most content I've consumed in like the last long time but 639 00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:05,120 that's pretty much it so one thing that I said that I was going to do is refer you guys to another video 640 01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:12,720 and I want you guys to listen if you guys haven't listened to the Transurfing Principles episodes 641 01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:17,600 I recommend going back and listening to them all in order um and if you don't like like the first 642 01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:22,080 ones because I remember the first one it was when I was first starting recording so I wasn't very good 643 01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:27,280 at recording so go back and listen to that stuff and skip through if you don't like listening to 644 01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:35,360 my early voice but pretty much go watch that but to wrap things up don't forget to download your 645 01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:58,000 favorite episodes and subscribe to the Ascend Momentum show but before you guys leave make sure to remember the eagles
