1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,680 This will revolutionize the way you see self-improvement. 2 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:05,520 Let me explain. 3 00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:09,000 So if you guys have been listening to this podcast lately, 4 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,760 I'm going through a few changes 5 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,440 because I am at a business conference right now. 6 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,700 And it's actually, it's called Fun Lacking Life. 7 00:00:17,700 --> 00:00:20,720 And it's much, much more than a business conference. 8 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:22,860 It's transformational, it's life-changing. 9 00:00:22,860 --> 00:00:25,500 And this is my first time going. 10 00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:28,120 And I'm 18 years old and this is, 11 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:29,640 I'm doing this when I'm 18 years old. 12 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:34,520 So this is going to set me up extremely well for the future. 13 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,000 And there's a lot of guest speakers. 14 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,480 There's like over 30 speakers speaking at this event. 15 00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:46,680 And I'm on day three out of four and I'm at lunch right now. 16 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,540 It's an hour and a half lunch break. 17 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:55,400 And I just want to say there was this one speaker. 18 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:56,880 Now all the speakers were great, 19 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:01,400 but for some reason this one speaker was the best 20 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,200 that I've ever heard. 21 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:08,200 And he was the best like for the entire conference so far. 22 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,480 And his name is Benjamin Hardy. 23 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,520 And he's an author of a book, many books, 24 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:20,520 but he's an author of a book called 10X is Easier Than 2X. 25 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,000 So pretty much he spoke for, 26 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,200 I don't know how long his speech was, 27 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:34,200 but he spoke for a very long time about pretty much 28 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,040 the psychology and all of the science, 29 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,480 all the just the reasoning why 10X growth 30 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,320 is easier than 2X growth. 31 00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:49,320 And he also like gave us every, 32 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,400 he gave every single person in attendance 33 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,080 of the conference his book, 34 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,120 10X is Easier Than 2X. 35 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,960 Like all hard copy, hardcover books. 36 00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:01,400 So that was amazing. 37 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,800 And I know that I think I said this in yesterday's episode, 38 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,120 but yesterday I got a book that's called Create, Don't Capture. 39 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,840 And I said that I was going to read that next, 40 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,440 but the next book I'm going to read is definitely going to be 41 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,440 the 10X is Easier Than 2X. 42 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,960 Unless obviously things change because a lot changes. 43 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,040 And pretty much he basically went through the, 44 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:31,160 his like a foundation of his entire speech was 45 00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:36,920 you, your present creates your past 46 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,360 and your future creates your presence. 47 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,680 I don't really a hundred percent understand it all. 48 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,240 It's just fresh in my mind, 49 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,120 but I'm going to try and try and explain a lot of it 50 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:53,120 because he pretty much the premise of 10X is Easier Than 2X 51 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,280 is most people have a flawed worldview. 52 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,680 And if you have been paying any attention to like any books, 53 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,680 you'll see a common theme or even just any like high achiever 54 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,520 or just anyone who has accomplished a lot, 55 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:12,720 you'll see a common theme. 56 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,520 And pretty much the common theme is if any, 57 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,800 if most people do it, you probably don't want to do it. 58 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:25,760 And the whole thing is that most people 59 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:32,120 create their present based on the filter of their past. 60 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,520 So they basically try and figure out 61 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,880 how they can improve marginally right now. 62 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,360 I'm probably not doing this justice 63 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,720 and I'm definitely going to be reading the book a lot more 64 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,640 because when you hear something, you forget it. 65 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,080 When you see something, you remember it. 66 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,440 And then when you do something, you understand it. 67 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,680 I just heard, I just saw it. 68 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,560 I mean, I just heard it. 69 00:03:58,560 --> 00:03:59,480 I just heard it. 70 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:00,880 So when you hear something, you forget it. 71 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,280 When you see something, you remember it. 72 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,640 And I just heard it. 73 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,320 So it's not really that solidified, 74 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,680 but the important piece is that whenever you're trying 75 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,680 to grow, always create an impossible goal 76 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,360 and filter it through, filter everything you do 77 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,880 in the present filter your entire existence 78 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,680 through that filter. 79 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,640 And this goal needs to be impossible. 80 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,680 You need to have a fear to even write it down 81 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,120 on a piece of paper. 82 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,160 And this, what needs to happen is 83 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,200 he pretty much uses the 80-20 rule. 84 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,600 So right now, most people use the worldview 85 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:50,600 of they look at their past to create their current goals 86 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,840 and their current future. 87 00:04:52,840 --> 00:04:57,200 But what needs to be done is you look at the future 88 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,280 and then create an impossible goal. 89 00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:04,360 And then that means that what's happening right now 90 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:09,040 is you're doing 80% of your actions right now 91 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:13,800 are not, they're not new, they're old actions, 92 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:18,040 they're habits, they are comfortable, you're good at them. 93 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,040 That's 80% of your actions. 94 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:24,240 And then 20% of your actions are new 95 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,360 and you're improving 20%. 96 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,880 Like you're doing 20% new things. 97 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,080 But when you have an impossible goal, 98 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,280 what happens is it shifts. 99 00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:37,840 Now only 20% of your actions are old and comfortable 100 00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:39,000 and you're good at them. 101 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,760 And then 80% of the actions are new. 102 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,240 And they're like, so that's basically, 103 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:47,600 when you have this impossible goal, 104 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,640 you're filtering everything that you do 105 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,480 through that lens of that impossible goal. 106 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,160 Because one thing that he said is that 107 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,200 if the goal seems impossible, 108 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,680 nothing you're doing right now is gonna work. 109 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,240 So you have to radically shift your actions. 110 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,600 You have to radically change your worldview, 111 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,400 your habits, your comfort zone, everything. 112 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,080 You have to radically shift everything 113 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,120 because he also talked about your floor. 114 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,840 So my floor one year ago was barely anything 115 00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:25,840 because I had just, my floor one year ago was tiny. 116 00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:27,440 I'd just gotten into self improvement. 117 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:28,960 I'd just gotten into learning. 118 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,480 And then it slowly, every single day, 119 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,200 it increased and increased and increased. 120 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,680 And now my floor is so much bigger. 121 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,400 It's like a hundred times bigger, more than that. 122 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:46,040 Thousand times bigger than it was one year ago. 123 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,960 And now at my worst, I am way better. 124 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,640 I'm thousands of times better than my best a year ago. 125 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,640 So my perspective was to just to slowly change things. 126 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,200 But just to slowly change things. 127 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,560 Maybe I had the perspective to radically change things, 128 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,520 but I'm not really sure. 129 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,440 Because I believe that I've been following 130 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,000 the worldview of most because I, 131 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,240 and you've probably heard this on recent episodes 132 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,760 where I compare myself, my current self to my past self, 133 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,600 and I keep on comparing back, 134 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,160 which is fine to see your growth 135 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,760 and see how much you've grown, 136 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,520 but that's like kind of, you're not supposed to create 137 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,040 the past to create your present, 138 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,840 or use the past to create your present, 139 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,720 you're supposed to use the future to create your present. 140 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,160 So one thing that I have been doing lately 141 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,560 is running a slide of my goal. 142 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:45,280 And my goal is, I've discussed this on my show 143 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,280 in earlier episodes, my goal, 144 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,000 but I'm not gonna be discussing it anymore 145 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,000 because I made a rule where I don't discuss my goals 146 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,280 with other people anymore because, 147 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,520 and I've talked about this in the episode 148 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,480 called Don't Share Your Plans or something like that. 149 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:09,720 But pretty much my goal right now is I realized 150 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:11,440 because at the end of the speech, 151 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,600 he said, now write a goal for the end of this year. 152 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,120 So write a goal for three months. 153 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,320 And then I wrote it down, 154 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,680 which was my goal that I've been having. 155 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,440 And then he said that it should be, 156 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,640 it should seem so impossible 157 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,320 that you kind of have a fear to write it down 158 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,520 and you don't want other people to see. 159 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,520 And so I immediately crossed it out 160 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,960 because I already know that it's possible. 161 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,000 Like I've run my slides so much 162 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,720 and I've gotten my suspicions confirmed 163 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:47,280 because one thing that I didn't realize for Transurfing 164 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:52,280 was I didn't know that visualization actually works out. 165 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,480 I didn't know that it actually works. 166 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,920 And then I started visualizing. 167 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,280 And well, let me explain 168 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:09,280 because when I, I been, 169 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,320 I first discovered Funnel Hacking Live 170 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:13,720 and I'm at Funnel Hacking Live right now. 171 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,400 So I discovered it probably like a month, 172 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,440 probably like two, maybe three months ago. 173 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,120 And well, I discovered it before that, 174 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:27,040 but when I first had the idea to actually come, 175 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,560 I got an email from Russell Bronson. 176 00:09:29,560 --> 00:09:31,360 He sent it to his list. 177 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,560 I got that email and then I was like, oh yeah, 178 00:09:33,560 --> 00:09:37,520 that'd be cool, but I didn't really have any intent to go. 179 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,160 I just had desire. 180 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:44,160 And then the next day I went to the park 181 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:50,080 with my friend Franklin and I told him about it. 182 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,960 And then initially he also was like, oh yeah, cool. 183 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,640 And then after like an hour, two hours, three hours, 184 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,720 maybe at the park, we were just talking about the whole time. 185 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,160 And then we like created an entire plan 186 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,800 and we realized that it was actually possible. 187 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,840 And so we decided to do it. 188 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,400 And then a couple of weeks pass, blah, blah, blah. 189 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,000 You guys have heard this story before, 190 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,280 but long story short, we decided to go 191 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,560 and then we figured things out along the way 192 00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:21,560 on how to get there. 193 00:10:21,560 --> 00:10:25,720 And one thing that an integral part of the journey 194 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,360 was I was visualizing. 195 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,920 And my slide was I would visualize myself 196 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:36,520 looking up at the stage at Russell Bronson speaking 197 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,640 in an angle. 198 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,640 So it was like from the side. 199 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,440 And the thing is I don't really know, 200 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,160 I'm not really able to visualize. 201 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,720 So whatever the first image that pops up into my head, 202 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,120 I just run with it because I can't really change it. 203 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:57,440 And so that was the first image that popped up in my head. 204 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,360 So I ran with it and I visualized it for weeks. 205 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,200 And then I stopped visualizing it. 206 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,720 But once I actually got here on the first day of Funalhacking 207 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,680 Live, we like sat down, we were trying to find our seats. 208 00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:12,960 We took a little bit to find seats 209 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,560 and then we found some seats. 210 00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:16,000 And then we got situated. 211 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,560 We were just sitting there for like 15 minutes maybe. 212 00:11:19,560 --> 00:11:26,000 And then the speaker was talking, Devon Brown, the emcee, 213 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,080 or as he likes to call himself, the emcee. 214 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,840 And I just had this random moment. 215 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,680 And I just had a moment of realization 216 00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:40,520 that this was the exact slide that I ran, the exact slide. 217 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,720 I had the same exact angle looking up at the stage. 218 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:45,760 And it was insane. 219 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:50,080 So from then, that point, I had proof that visualization works 220 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,160 because that was the first thing I've ever actually 221 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,640 visualized legitimately. 222 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:55,840 Well, actually, that's not true. 223 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,400 I visualized that mansion. 224 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:58,840 But that's a bigger order. 225 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,640 That was the first thing that I visualized legitimately. 226 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:06,680 And then I ended up actually achieving that. 227 00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:10,680 And so that just showed proof that it actually happens. 228 00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:12,720 And it works. 229 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:19,600 And so now I've been visualizing my, what's it called? 230 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,040 I almost said my goal. 231 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,440 But my current goal is something I 232 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,800 expressed in earlier episodes. 233 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:32,160 But pretty much I've been visualizing it a lot lately, 234 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:36,160 more so than the phone hacking live slide. 235 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,560 And to be honest, I haven't really 236 00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:41,800 visualized it in a few days because I haven't really 237 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,560 meditated in a few days because there simply 238 00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:45,280 was not enough time. 239 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,480 Because yesterday I was at phone hacking live, 240 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:49,920 the event for 14 hours. 241 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,120 And then we didn't get home until like 11 o'clock at night. 242 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,560 And this morning, we got here at 8 30 in the morning. 243 00:12:57,560 --> 00:13:05,040 So this event takes up a lot of time, but it's 100% worth it. 244 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:11,080 But with all that said, the visualization, I almost said it 245 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,080 again, but the visualization for my current slide 246 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,840 is I've expanded my comfort zone, and I actually 247 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,560 think that it's possible now. 248 00:13:19,560 --> 00:13:22,760 And it's starting to become an integral part of me. 249 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:27,560 And now I realize that it was easy. 250 00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:32,080 So going back to at the end of the speech, 251 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:37,680 he said to write down a goal that you want to achieve 252 00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:39,360 in three months time. 253 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:44,200 And then I wrote it down, my current slide, my current goal. 254 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,120 And then he said it should be something that 255 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:48,720 feels impossible to achieve. 256 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,120 It feels crazy hard. 257 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,360 And you should have a figure of writing it down. 258 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:55,880 And then I immediately crossed it out 259 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,600 because I got to the point where I actually 260 00:13:58,600 --> 00:13:59,680 think that it's possible. 261 00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:03,760 And so I tried to think of an even crazier, more difficult 262 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,840 goal. 263 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:06,960 I don't know. 264 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:11,640 I think that what I do is my goal is one thing, 265 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,800 but I'm going to include financially free as well 266 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,160 as being able to live exactly how I want 267 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:22,920 with no financial burdens or financial restrictions 268 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,160 or restraints. 269 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:29,040 So that would be an impossible goal for me. 270 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:34,680 And that's the whole premise of the 10x is easier than 2x 271 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,240 because when you have an impossible goal, 272 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,120 you realize that you have to drop 80% of your actions 273 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:46,200 and then create those focus on those new actions. 274 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,560 And what the actions I took to get here 275 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:54,520 are not the actions that I will have to take to get there. 276 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,600 And that's a really powerful quote from him 277 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,160 because I had to do some certain things 278 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,200 to get to phone acting life. 279 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,000 I had to expand my comfort zone, had to do some stuff. 280 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,680 And yes, there was a lot of the stuff was very difficult 281 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,720 and it was very crazy for me. 282 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:20,040 But what I realized is that it's not enough to get me there. 283 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,400 It's not enough to get me to my goal. 284 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:31,240 And my goal is at the end of 2023, by January 1, 285 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:32,240 that's my goal. 286 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,000 And it's crazy because I remember writing down 287 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:43,840 on my journal at the beginning of the year. 288 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,480 So I've said this on the podcast before. 289 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,400 But at the beginning of the year, 290 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,080 I wrote down on my journal all of my stats 291 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,280 and my starting stats for the year. 292 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,840 And then I ended up improving on them 293 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,360 a lot over the past 10 months because it's 294 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,080 about to be October. 295 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,320 So I've ended up improving on them a lot. 296 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,800 But one stat in particular, at the time, 297 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,240 I was just focusing on my health. 298 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,480 So most of my stats were health. 299 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,480 And then I was trying to think of more stats to write down. 300 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,080 And income came into mind. 301 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,480 And so I wrote down income and it was zero. 302 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,600 And I was like, I probably won't really change that much. 303 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:29,360 And then what happened is I started 304 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,720 getting into entrepreneurship probably like six months 305 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,280 after I wrote that down. 306 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,640 So I started really looking into business 307 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,560 and really looking into all this stuff. 308 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,320 And now I'm at a business conference. 309 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,880 So this is the first time I've ever taken, 310 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,720 ever been around people like this. 311 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:52,520 And it's funny because all the people that I've talked to 312 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:53,680 are richer. 313 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,760 Like the poorest person that I've talked to is richer 314 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,480 than the richest person I've ever known before I came, 315 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,320 which is insane. 316 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,320 Every single person I've talked to is like, 317 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,600 they're running their own business. 318 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,000 They have their time separate from their money. 319 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,440 They like all this stuff. 320 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,320 And it's absolutely like life changing. 321 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:22,080 Like all of the speakers are great. 322 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:22,920 They're amazing. 323 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,120 And they're actually changing my life. 324 00:17:25,120 --> 00:17:28,000 But one thing that I didn't even suspect 325 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,920 that would also, I'd also find so much growth in 326 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:36,920 was the simple fact or the simple act of talking 327 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,680 to other people in the crowd. 328 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,760 Like I'm an outlier. 329 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,600 I think I'm an outlier in this crowd. 330 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,600 I'm like, there's probably not very many people in this crowd 331 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,440 that haven't made any money yet in their business. 332 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:54,920 There's not many people. 333 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,520 And like most people have made money in their business 334 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,120 and they've made a lot of money. 335 00:18:01,120 --> 00:18:04,480 And like even yesterday last night, 336 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,400 we were watching the awards ceremony 337 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:12,400 and it was actually, it was actually not, 338 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,920 like I didn't really get what I thought I would get out of it. 339 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,440 So I thought what I assumed I would get out of it 340 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,560 was the fact that it's actually possible. 341 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,160 I thought that I was gonna be able to see all these people 342 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,960 that look just like me and all these people who, 343 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,960 I think that I could, like I would be able to see the fact 344 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,880 that other people got the two comic-cub award. 345 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,760 I thought that I would get that belief and that world change. 346 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,600 But what I actually ended up getting out of last night 347 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,760 was completely different from what I expected. 348 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:48,440 And let me explain. 349 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,640 So the way they had it set up was they had an entire team. 350 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:57,640 So ClickFunnels founders are Russell Brunson and Todd Dickerson. 351 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,160 So they had an entire team 352 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,240 basically managing the award ceremony. 353 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:09,160 So Russell Brunson and Todd Dickerson were standing 354 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,160 in the middle of the stage the entire time 355 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,360 just taking pictures with the people who won the awards. 356 00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:17,320 And these people who won the awards, 357 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,200 there were multiple awards given out, 358 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:20,680 like a two comma club award. 359 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,240 So you had to make a million dollars in a funnel, 360 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,640 a two comma club X, so 10 million. 361 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,480 And then two comma club C is like anywhere between 25 362 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,000 and a hundred mil in a funnel. 363 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,120 And all the people that won just looked like normal people. 364 00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:40,120 And they didn't really seem that crazy, 365 00:19:40,120 --> 00:19:42,240 which is kind of what I assumed I would get 366 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,480 out of the award ceremony. 367 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:45,720 And I definitely got that, 368 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,320 but I got something much, much more. 369 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,720 And I was watching all these people, 370 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,200 every single person would receive an award 371 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,720 that was given to them by Russell and Todd. 372 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,880 And then they'd shake Russell and Todd's hand or hug them. 373 00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,920 And then they'd take a picture with them. 374 00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:01,000 And then they'd leave. 375 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,840 And then this was just one person. 376 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,400 And then another person would come. 377 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:08,840 And then the main, like the common theme amongst them all 378 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,840 was Russell and Todd. 379 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,400 And I realized that all these people won their awards, 380 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,920 but the real winners on that stage last night 381 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,400 was Russell and Todd. 382 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:23,720 Because Russell and Todd created the entire universe. 383 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,920 Like they created the entire universe of click funnels. 384 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:31,200 They created all of this stuff. 385 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,000 And they created an entire movement. 386 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:38,000 And all of these people are here for Russell and Todd. 387 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,520 Like they're here because of Russell and Todd. 388 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,800 And that is like what I learned. 389 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:48,800 Like what I originally intended to do was be the small fish. 390 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,120 Be the small fish in Russell and Todd's pond. 391 00:20:53,120 --> 00:20:57,200 And go and get my two comic club award. 392 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:58,360 That's what I intended to do, 393 00:20:58,360 --> 00:21:00,280 to be a small fish in their pond. 394 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,120 And what ended up happening was I realized 395 00:21:04,120 --> 00:21:07,120 that those, the Russell and Todd were the real winners. 396 00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:09,360 So now I realized that I gotta be the, 397 00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:11,040 I gotta have my big pond. 398 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,840 I gotta have my own pond with my own fish in it. 399 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:19,920 And yeah, I probably will use click funnels software, 400 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,400 but that doesn't necessarily mean 401 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,240 I'll be a fish in their software. 402 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,520 Because I think it's called Fubi. 403 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:32,080 Damon Johns Company is, he's like a billion dollar company. 404 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,560 And that company uses click funnels, 405 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,320 but they're not necessarily small fish 406 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,880 in click funnels pond. 407 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,560 They're big fish. 408 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:47,560 Like they are kind of in their pond, but not necessarily. 409 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:52,600 So I was gonna be like kind of like a cog in the machine, 410 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,160 but now I realized that I gotta go on my own path. 411 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,200 Like yes, I'm gonna be using the tool, the system. 412 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,080 One of the speakers today was all about, 413 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:03,080 you have to be great, 414 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:04,880 but you also have to have the system. 415 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,200 Like Michael Jordan, I think it was Jordan. 416 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,120 One of the basketball players that is on the bowls 417 00:22:12,120 --> 00:22:16,480 and then had the coach create a system around him, 418 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,040 he wasn't successful until he had the system around him. 419 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:21,280 And you have to be great. 420 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:22,400 And then you have to have the system. 421 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,760 So me working on this podcast, 422 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,160 and then soon to come TikToks and all this stuff, 423 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,240 that will be my greatness. 424 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,360 Like that will be me working on myself, 425 00:22:32,360 --> 00:22:34,560 building my brand, building all that stuff. 426 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:39,280 And then the system will be like the coach for the coach 427 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,000 that put in place the system for Michael Jordan. 428 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,920 What would be click funnels? 429 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,160 Possibly if that is what I choose, because 430 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:53,520 honestly, there's a lot going on right now. 431 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,760 And what I realized is that I just gotta lock in, 432 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,840 focus up on the podcast 433 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,080 and like focus up on building up my brand. 434 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,640 Because there's one thing that I noticed today 435 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,320 was the speaker that spoke today. 436 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:10,800 I already forgot his name, 437 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:15,800 but the guy who wrote the book 10X is easier than 2X, 438 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:21,320 that guy, he spoke kind of like in a monotone. 439 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,960 Like he didn't, so let me give some context. 440 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,320 Most speakers would like scream and scream and then, 441 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:29,800 and then they get really soft. 442 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,560 And then, or they would just scream the whole time. 443 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,120 They'd scream, scream. 444 00:23:33,120 --> 00:23:36,080 And then they were like hype, all that stuff, 445 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,080 which is that's great. 446 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,880 But this speaker, he was kind of like the same voice, 447 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:45,880 same chill, quiet, soothing voice the whole time. 448 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,120 And yeah, he has fluctuations, 449 00:23:48,120 --> 00:23:53,120 but I don't know, but there was like something magical to it. 450 00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:56,520 Like his speech was like my favorite speech 451 00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,200 that I've listened to the whole time. 452 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,280 And I've heard some amazing speeches 453 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,720 in this time period, but there was something to him. 454 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,160 And then he kept on repeating like the same thing 455 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:10,160 over and over again. 456 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:14,640 Like your present creates the filter for the past. 457 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,160 And like you create the past through your present. 458 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:22,160 And then pretty much his like whole deal is like the psychology 459 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,400 around your past and present. 460 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,160 And it's like, he's an author. 461 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,280 And then he was even using his own stuff 462 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,120 while writing the book, 10X Rule. 463 00:24:34,120 --> 00:24:38,520 He switched from, he actually like rewrote, 464 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,080 or not rewrote, but he actually like edited the book heavily 465 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,960 after he like already finished it. 466 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,280 And people around him were giving it 10s. 467 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:48,760 Like they rated it a 10. 468 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,320 And then he saw someone else and she said it was a five. 469 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:56,520 And so he is like, he does his own stuff. 470 00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,240 And you can tell because he was an amazing speaker 471 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:05,240 and he was speaking very fluidly and not too fast. 472 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,640 He was speaking like the same speed the entire time. 473 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,640 And it was extremely inspirational 474 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:16,080 because I was thinking to myself like, 475 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,440 a lot of people speak like, I do this. 476 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,720 When I get into it, I speak a lot and hard and fast. 477 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,560 And then I'm like, when I'm in the flow, 478 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,600 I get really fast and quick. 479 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,640 But a lot of people like this guy, 480 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,200 he literally was speaking at a normal pace. 481 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,240 And I am trying to replicate that 482 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,880 because I really liked how he did it 483 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,200 because he's an amazing speaker. 484 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,000 He was on stage, which is something 485 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,000 that I definitely see myself doing in the future. 486 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,720 He's on stage, but he also talked about 487 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,800 how he was on a podcast. 488 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,680 And now I'm realizing that I am literally doing 489 00:25:55,680 --> 00:26:00,000 the best thing possible right now by like finding my voice 490 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,160 because this guy definitely did not get it on accident. 491 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:08,000 He definitely chose to keep on improving 492 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,960 and constantly refining his craft. 493 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,240 He definitely did a lot of practice with speaking 494 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:19,240 and a lot of podcasting and just a lot of like content creation. 495 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,800 Or I don't even know, but he definitely improved a lot. 496 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:27,320 And now I'm realizing that the podcasting skill 497 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:28,680 improves my speaking. 498 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:33,360 Like I've already become so much more of a better student 499 00:26:33,360 --> 00:26:35,760 in general and just a better person in general 500 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,240 because my speaking is so much better. 501 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:43,320 And the podcasting is such a foundational or element 502 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,960 to get better and practice at. 503 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:50,960 And podcasting, I realized that this guy 504 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,600 is such a good speaker because he practiced. 505 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:58,200 And I've on episode 73, so I've been practicing a lot. 506 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,600 And I had suspicions and I talked about this yesterday. 507 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,640 I had suspicions about whether I was on the right path, 508 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,720 about whether I was actually doing the right thing 509 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,720 or whether I should go for fun or whether it's a good idea 510 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,320 that I'm not really focusing on funnels 511 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:17,960 and I'm just focusing on building my podcasting skills. 512 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,280 And yesterday my suspicions were confirmed, 513 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,160 but especially like also today after hearing this guy, 514 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:30,200 because I realized that the billionaires of tomorrow 515 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,360 are building their brands now. 516 00:27:32,360 --> 00:27:37,360 And right now, billionaire status seems impossible, 517 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,880 which I guess would mean that it would be a good goal 518 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:45,760 to have over the next like five years or three years. 519 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,920 And now I'm like seeing that, 520 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,360 but I'm not really sure if I want to do that. 521 00:27:52,360 --> 00:27:55,720 And I have to get back into my routine once I get home 522 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,000 and start like getting back into meditation 523 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,600 because I haven't meditated in like two days. 524 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,040 Actually, I didn't meditate today or yesterday. 525 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,760 So I haven't meditated in like a day or two. 526 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:12,760 And it's like, I just got a key moving forward. 527 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,080 And one of the things I realized is create my short form 528 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,720 because one of the guys actually said that short form videos 529 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,280 are extremely good for driving traffic 530 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,240 because I want my podcast to grow 531 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,280 and I want people to be listening to this. 532 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,920 And to be honest, I haven't even checked my analytics 533 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,160 and I need to be checking my analytics now. 534 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,440 I realized that I should be checking my analytics, 535 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,640 but I'm glad that I didn't check my analytics. 536 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,840 And if I am still in the same spot I was a couple days ago 537 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:45,840 or a couple of weeks ago, 538 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,520 I won't be checking my analytics much 539 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,200 because it's just pointless. 540 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,040 But eventually I will get to the point 541 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,880 where I'd be checking my analytics consistently 542 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:58,160 because that tells you a lot of good valuable information. 543 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,960 And there's one thing I want to reiterate yesterday, 544 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,440 controlling your environment, 545 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:09,080 taking control of your environment is extremely important. 546 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,440 Now, I'm in, I'm at Florida right now, 547 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:12,640 I'm at Funal Hacking Live. 548 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:17,640 And we don't like, one thing is that 549 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,480 I'm kind of at the mercy of my environment 550 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:25,120 because, and I might be taking, making an excuse 551 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,840 or any or something, but pretty much yesterday 552 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,960 I was recording right by like a, 553 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,880 I was recording in a really bad spot. 554 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,080 And today I took like 10 minutes 555 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,360 to try and find a better spot, 556 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:43,080 but I realized that you need to be taking control 557 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,240 of your environment because you guys might be hearing 558 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:46,720 all this stuff in the background. 559 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:50,280 I'll do my best like removing all the background noise. 560 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,840 And it's also all the distractions, 561 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,880 all the distractions are like, 562 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,680 I'm right now I'm recording like in, 563 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,400 on right next to the sidewalk. 564 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,800 And it's like a terrible, terrible thing. 565 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,600 So take control of your environment and change things 566 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,120 because that's exactly what you need to be doing 567 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,200 to get success. 568 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,960 And that's like, that's exactly what I'm doing. 569 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,080 But I, my original spot, and actually, 570 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,080 if you guys noticed back when I was explaining the, 571 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,880 my slide and how I, 572 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,880 how I realized that it was true back when I explained that, 573 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,560 probably on like eight minutes into the episode, 574 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,480 I actually paused like I stopped recording 575 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,960 because my original recording spot was a good spot. 576 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,200 It was isolated. 577 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,280 It was in the golf course in shade, 578 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:41,760 on the golf course in shade. 579 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,360 And I was just chilling there. 580 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:47,440 And then eight minutes in, two dudes on the RV, 581 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,840 actually, or not the RV, the golf cart, 582 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,520 rode up to me and said that I got to leave 583 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,600 because I'm on the golf course 584 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,040 and they don't want me to be in the range, 585 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,560 like the range of fire. 586 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,840 And so I had to stop it. 587 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,200 And that's another interruption 588 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,360 that should definitely be avoided. 589 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,520 But right now I'm just focusing on getting, 590 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,280 just constantly being consistent, 591 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,400 getting out an episode every single day 592 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,680 because it is all about consistency. 593 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,520 It is all about just staying with it. 594 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,800 The one guy that I was talking to last night, 595 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,240 he was probably one of my favorite dudes 596 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:26,240 that I talked to last night. 597 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:30,920 He's from Hungary and he does a business. 598 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,560 Pretty much his story is when he was, 599 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:40,040 by 23, he was working a day job. 600 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:44,000 And then he started podcasts 601 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,080 and he knew that he wanted to get into entrepreneurship. 602 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:47,480 He didn't like his job. 603 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:48,320 He wasn't making much. 604 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,160 He wanted to get into business and all this stuff. 605 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,760 So he started podcasts 606 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,200 and then he like recorded, 607 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:57,920 not, he did everything wrong 608 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:02,120 and he got to 100 episodes after like a few years. 609 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:03,360 He was doing everything wrong. 610 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,640 He was not consistent, not anything. 611 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,600 And after a few years, he kind of, 612 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:09,800 after like a hundred episodes, 613 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,160 he just stopped recording. 614 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:12,480 He just stopped. 615 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,240 And his podcast, like he actually had a lot of listeners. 616 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,400 And even to this day, he has his business. 617 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,840 He's making about 20K per month. 618 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,920 And to this day, he's still getting leads from his podcast. 619 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,080 And he's only done a hundred episodes. 620 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:28,920 And I talked to him, 621 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,040 I was sitting next to him during the award ceremony 622 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,000 and he was an awesome dude. 623 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,240 He's probably one of my favorite people that I've met so far. 624 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:42,720 And I basically talked to him, asked him about a story. 625 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,560 Right now he's in the works of fully automating his business. 626 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,120 He's in the works of expanding 627 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,640 and going to different countries. 628 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,280 Cause right now he's just based in Hungary 629 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,720 and a few other countries that speak Hungary or Hungarian. 630 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:03,720 And he is in the works of being fully automatic, 631 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:05,240 separate from his time, 632 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,440 and moving to different countries, 633 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,720 expanding to different countries, 634 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,600 and translating all of his content to different languages. 635 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:14,680 So he's in the works of that. 636 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,520 And I talked to him and I asked him, 637 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,760 what would be your biggest piece of advice? 638 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:20,920 Like for someone like me, 639 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,840 and I told him where I was in my journey. 640 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,960 Like I've been recording my podcasts. 641 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:29,840 I'm on like episode, last night my episode 65, 642 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,520 I think or 66 just posted, 643 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,680 or I was on like episode 66 were live. 644 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:41,120 So last night I said like, yeah, I'm on episode 66. 645 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,600 And he basically said, 646 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,680 I asked him what the one piece of advice he would suggest. 647 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,520 And I've asked two people this. 648 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,840 So let me, let me go back to the first day I was here, 649 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:54,720 or not the first day, 650 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,600 but the first day of the event I was here, 651 00:33:56,600 --> 00:34:01,600 he, Gary, I talked about him in yesterday's episode. 652 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:07,120 Gary basically said that his number one thing is 653 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,560 to always read and always study, 654 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:15,120 like make it a habit of reading one hour a day. 655 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,400 So that is one thing that I took from that guy. 656 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:22,400 And then what this Hungarian guy said was absolutely, 657 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:28,280 like it's exactly what I kind of was suspicious about. 658 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,600 And I kind of understood intuitively, 659 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:33,200 but I never really put it to words 660 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:34,480 and I never really got this, 661 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,640 my suspicion confirmed by other people. 662 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:41,200 And he basically said, what he said was, 663 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:45,400 never effing stopped, never stop. 664 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,040 Like never stop. 665 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,720 Like once you're on this path of entrepreneurship, 666 00:34:49,720 --> 00:34:51,960 self-improvement, never stop. 667 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:53,800 Like that's all there is to it. 668 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:54,640 Never stop. 669 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:58,280 Like yeah, do all this stuff and then never stop. 670 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:03,720 So that's exactly what I needed to hear from my podcast 671 00:35:03,720 --> 00:35:05,560 because I'm on episode 73, 672 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,800 which is already in itself extremely inspirational. 673 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:13,800 It's already making me very proud of like what I've done 674 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,680 so far and I've only done it for two months 675 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,240 and I've already gotten so much growth 676 00:35:17,240 --> 00:35:19,520 and I haven't even gotten the monetary benefit. 677 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,880 And then he also, one other thing he said was, 678 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:25,480 get to episode 100. 679 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,840 So Seth Godin, he quoted him, he said, 680 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,280 Seth Godin goes on podcasts. 681 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:33,680 He'll go on any podcast. 682 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:37,160 He's extremely, extremely generous with his time. 683 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:38,200 He'll go on any podcast, 684 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:43,040 but his one requirement is that the show will have, 685 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,440 has reached at least 100 episodes. 686 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,800 Like the show has to have at least 100 episodes. 687 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,120 And what that shows is these people are serious 688 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,320 and they're actually dedicated and they've been in it. 689 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:55,560 They're in it for the long run. 690 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,040 They're not just trying to get that instant result 691 00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:59,480 and they're actually serious about it. 692 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,400 And they actually understand that you have to be here 693 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:03,240 for a long time. 694 00:36:03,240 --> 00:36:05,200 You have to be in for the long run. 695 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:06,640 And so that's the other milestone. 696 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,480 When I first started, my first milestone was like episode 10. 697 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,840 And then my second milestone was episode 21. 698 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,600 Episode 21 was a huge milestone for me 699 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:20,600 because I had learned about how when you post 700 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,400 21 episodes on a podcast, 701 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,040 you're already in the top 1% of podcasters. 702 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,920 Like all you have to do is post consistently every day 703 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,400 for three weeks and you're in the top 1% club already, 704 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,640 just with as simple as that. 705 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:36,920 So that was a huge milestone, 706 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,400 but I'd never really made another milestone after that. 707 00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:43,000 And I just like focused up 708 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,920 and then just focused on what's currently happening right now. 709 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,960 And so what ended up happening was last night, 710 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,720 I'm really glad that this Hungarian guy that I met, 711 00:36:53,720 --> 00:36:55,440 I'm sorry, I don't remember his name. 712 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,760 And we never actually introduced each other. 713 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,440 It was just like a very informal. 714 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:02,680 We're both introverts 715 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,680 and I could tell that he was an introvert as well. 716 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,080 And so it was a good conversation. 717 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:10,400 Like it flowed very well and I was learning a lot from him, 718 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:15,400 but we like just didn't really ask each other their names. 719 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:17,560 And which is fine. 720 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,480 I like read his name on the name tag, 721 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,320 but I didn't know how to pronounce it. 722 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:22,560 And I forgot what the name was 723 00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:23,480 cause I didn't memorize it. 724 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:24,600 I'm also really bad at names, 725 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:25,800 which is something I have to work on. 726 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:30,800 But when he said the Seth Godin quote of the 100 episodes, 727 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,720 and then he talked about how he had done at 100 episodes, 728 00:37:35,720 --> 00:37:37,200 the Hungarian guy that I met last night 729 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,280 had done 100 episodes. 730 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,320 And that was like the milestone. 731 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,520 That was the big shift in his podcast. 732 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,920 And unfortunately he hasn't recorded an episode 733 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:48,040 since like last January, 734 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,880 but that was like the big shift in his podcast. 735 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,360 And now that he has 100 episodes 736 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,880 and he hasn't recorded in like nine months, 737 00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:01,040 he is still getting listeners, still getting leads 738 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:02,320 because that stuff is permanent. 739 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,200 It stays there forever, 740 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,720 which is crazy because I'm building, 741 00:38:06,720 --> 00:38:08,400 I'm already on 73 episodes. 742 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:12,760 I'm building this amazing thing that will stay here forever 743 00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,360 and people will be listening to it forever probably, 744 00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:17,480 which is crazy to think about. 745 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,000 I don't even know like what it really means. 746 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,920 And it's also amazing. 747 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,440 And I wanna talk about one more thing after I say this, 748 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,280 but now my new milestone is episode 100. 749 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:30,320 So I only have like 750 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:35,320 22 episodes or 27 episodes left. 751 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,240 And then I'm on episode 100, 752 00:38:38,240 --> 00:38:40,280 which is actually amazing. 753 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,800 So that's my next milestone. 754 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,040 But another thing I wanna talk about, 755 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,360 when I first started, if you guys go back, 756 00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:47,920 I was literally saying like, 757 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:49,760 when I first started my recording, 758 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:50,720 I was in my basement, 759 00:38:50,720 --> 00:38:51,920 I still am in my basement, 760 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:53,280 but right now obviously I'm in Florida, 761 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,000 I'm outside recording, 762 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,720 but I was in my basement out recording 763 00:38:59,720 --> 00:39:01,880 and I would like speak really quietly 764 00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:05,320 and like lean in really close to the microphone 765 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:09,480 because I didn't want my parents or my sister to hear. 766 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,480 I didn't want my family to hear what I was doing. 767 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,240 Like I was so embarrassed 768 00:39:13,240 --> 00:39:14,760 and so ashamed of what I was doing. 769 00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:16,560 I didn't want anyone to find out. 770 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,320 And that was two parts. 771 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,680 One, simple embarrassment, assaiment. 772 00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,440 And two, I didn't want people to know what I was doing 773 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:25,840 because I like hiding my goals. 774 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:26,960 I like hiding. 775 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:31,120 There was one thing that I heard today is, 776 00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:34,400 yeah, love your parents. 777 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,880 Like, I don't remember, I think it was, 778 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:40,800 I don't even know. 779 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,240 One of the speakers said that he really loves his parents, 780 00:39:43,240 --> 00:39:45,120 but he had to cut ties with his parents. 781 00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,080 Not love ties. 782 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,320 Like he didn't cut ties through love with his parents, 783 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:51,960 but he had to cut ties through business. 784 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,240 Like he had to stop, 785 00:39:54,240 --> 00:39:58,320 he had to completely cut ties with his mom through business 786 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:02,280 because his mom was just that, 787 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,880 she was like saying, get a stable job, 788 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,760 like work for someone else, like all that, 789 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:08,960 but he wanted to be an entrepreneur. 790 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:10,680 So he had to cut ties through business. 791 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:11,520 And I really liked that. 792 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:16,320 It's okay to stay in a relationship with your family, 793 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:17,960 but cut ties with them. 794 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:19,480 Like don't do business with them. 795 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,320 And so that's, and another thing is, 796 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,840 don't share your big goals with small minds. 797 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:29,640 Don't share giant goals or large goals with small minds. 798 00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:30,640 That's another thing. 799 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,440 So when I first started, I was extremely ashamed of, 800 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,040 and I was really embarrassed of podcasting. 801 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,840 And I couldn't even imagine sharing to my parents 802 00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:46,200 much less like podcasting in public. 803 00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,280 But I'm on episode 73, 804 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,160 and I've already made so much progress 805 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,640 in just my personal development journey. 806 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:55,080 And it was crazy, it's crazy 807 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,320 because right now I'm just standing outside, 808 00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,720 right in front of a street, right in front of a sidewalk, 809 00:41:00,720 --> 00:41:03,000 I'm just standing under a palm tree, 810 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,800 recording in the middle of like Florida, 811 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,040 Orlando, Florida, and there's a bunch of people walking by. 812 00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:10,760 And like people are seeing me, 813 00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,080 and I'm actually shirtless and shoeless right now, 814 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,840 just standing up with my computer on the floor. 815 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,800 I have my microphone, I'm holding onto my microphone, 816 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:19,960 I'm standing up. 817 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,040 And I just, a lot of people are just looking at me. 818 00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:25,480 And I can tell because like I look into the windows 819 00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,600 of the cars while I'm talking, literally right now 820 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,200 as I'm speaking, I'm looking into the window of a car, 821 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,240 and I can see people looking at me. 822 00:41:32,240 --> 00:41:36,040 And it's crazy because this was like unheard of 823 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,160 over the past like couple months, 824 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,640 I would never do anything like that. 825 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:45,440 But now I'm like, people are just like walking by, 826 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,200 and yes, I'm losing my focus a lot 827 00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,160 because I'm sure you guys can tell, 828 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,040 like just now there's two people walking by. 829 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:52,320 And I had to like look away 830 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,760 because I didn't want to lose my focus. 831 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,200 And so I'm losing my focus a lot, 832 00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:58,400 but I'm not really ashamed. 833 00:41:58,400 --> 00:41:59,960 Like I'm not embarrassed. 834 00:41:59,960 --> 00:42:02,640 That's amazing because I simply just took action. 835 00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:07,360 I have recorded 73 episodes, I took action, 836 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,520 and now I'm not ashamed of podcasting. 837 00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:14,440 Like yes, I don't like having people that I know 838 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:15,640 near me while I'm talking 839 00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,560 because I want to be able to uncensor myself, 840 00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:21,120 but I'm absolutely okay having a random stranger walk by. 841 00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,480 Like right now there's a guy walking by, 842 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:27,440 and I'm absolutely okay with having random strangers 843 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,320 hear what I have to say, just passing. 844 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,640 I obviously I don't want anyone, 845 00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,200 I don't want a live audience while I'm recording 846 00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:36,960 because that's just a simple distraction. 847 00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,800 I actually talked to my friend the other day about this 848 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,280 because I had recorded my episode, 849 00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,200 I think it was two episodes ago, 850 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:45,960 I recorded my episode, 851 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,280 and after I was done recording, 852 00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:49,960 I said like, were you listening? 853 00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:51,720 And he was like, yeah, I heard a little bit, 854 00:42:51,720 --> 00:42:53,200 and I was like, nice. 855 00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:54,760 And then he was like, is that bad? 856 00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,120 And I was like, no, it's not bad. 857 00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:00,640 I just, the reason why I didn't want you to hear, 858 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:02,280 like I don't care if you hear, 859 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:04,640 I just don't want to know that you're hearing. 860 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,120 If like, because in the beginning, 861 00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,160 when I first like sat down to start recording, 862 00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:10,120 he was like, can I listen? 863 00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:11,400 Can I be like a live audience? 864 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,000 And I said no, because I don't want to get distracted, 865 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,200 I don't want to know that people are listening to me right now, 866 00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:18,920 and like currently live. 867 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:22,160 And he was like, yeah, that's fair, and that makes sense. 868 00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,960 Cause he actually recorded his episode just prior to me, 869 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:29,960 and he realized that because he started his first 870 00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,800 couple of minutes in the kitchen where I was cooking, 871 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:38,160 and I was like listening because I was just there, 872 00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:39,000 and he knew it too, 873 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,720 and then he could tell that he lost a lot of focus, 874 00:43:41,720 --> 00:43:43,360 like he wasn't focused as much. 875 00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:44,840 And that's another thing, 876 00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:46,600 we're going back to the environment thing. 877 00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,600 Like your environment is so crucial. 878 00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,760 Control your environment, eliminate distractions. 879 00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:52,400 And I did that two episodes ago, 880 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,560 I locked myself in my room, 881 00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:56,920 and I made sure that no one was listening, 882 00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:00,600 or at least I made sure that I believed no one was listening. 883 00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,120 So I started recording, and I was done, 884 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,040 and then I went to the room, and I was like, 885 00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:06,880 did he listen? 886 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,280 And I just told you, but it's like, 887 00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,360 I said that it's okay that you listened, 888 00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:14,920 I just didn't want to know that you listened, 889 00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:16,960 because it's the mindset thing. 890 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,600 And I don't remember where I was trying to go with this, 891 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:23,000 but that's like, oh, I was trying to say that, 892 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,240 I'm in the, when I first started, I was ashamed, 893 00:44:25,240 --> 00:44:28,240 and now I'm literally standing in the middle of a street, 894 00:44:28,240 --> 00:44:31,880 and in front of like, there's probably 100 people 895 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,480 that walked by, right now no one's walking by, 896 00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,200 but there's people like driving by, 897 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,040 there's probably been at least 200 people 898 00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:42,200 drive by in the car, and I am not ashamed at all, 899 00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,160 and I'm literally just standing here barefoot, shirtless, 900 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:46,920 all I'm wearing, I'm not even wearing underwear, 901 00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:51,920 I'm commando, I'm literally, all I'm wearing is shorts, 902 00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:54,520 and I'm just standing here with a microphone in my hand 903 00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,560 talking into it for an hour. 904 00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:59,440 So, and I'm only on episode 73, like, 905 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:04,840 I was listening to Centema, I think is his name, 906 00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:09,200 Centema Gali, I think, he is a motivational speaker, 907 00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:12,040 and he's amazing, he's like a massive dude, 908 00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:16,360 he was a NFL, Super Bowl ring owner, 909 00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,960 he has an amazing story, I heard him speak, 910 00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:23,720 and he said he was on episode 600, 911 00:45:23,720 --> 00:45:27,680 like 650 or something like that, just from his phone, 912 00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:29,200 he was just recording on his phone, 913 00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,880 so he is much further along of the journey than me, 914 00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:37,920 but now, like, he started way longer than me, 915 00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:40,400 like, he started a long time ago, 916 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,720 he started like two or three years ago, 917 00:45:42,720 --> 00:45:44,600 and I'm just starting, 918 00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:47,960 dude, I completely forgot what I was going with this, 919 00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,840 but pretty much another thing that I learned is 920 00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:51,960 you just have to start, like, 921 00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,400 don't even try and figure out what you're doing, 922 00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,400 and like, there's a lot of changes I'm making 923 00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,280 as I'm going, so you guys can see my journey, 924 00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:00,280 like, for example, literally yesterday, 925 00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,160 I cut out my introduction, because it was stupid, 926 00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,920 it was 30 seconds of boring, 927 00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:08,680 first three seconds are the most important of the video, 928 00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:10,320 and I learned that yesterday, 929 00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:11,800 you have to cut that out, 930 00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,160 like, you just figure it along the way, 931 00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,160 and the most important thing is just to take action, 932 00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:18,000 just start, and that's what I did, 933 00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,560 I literally started with my phone, 934 00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,080 and then I switched to a voice recorder, 935 00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:23,840 and then I switched to a microphone, 936 00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:25,640 and this microphone is very good, 937 00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,320 and in hindsight, I should have stayed on my phone, 938 00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:29,680 because that microphone was way better 939 00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,400 than the voice recorder, but, you live, you learn, 940 00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,840 I recorded 28 episodes on a voice recorder, 941 00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:36,880 and now I am on episode 73, 942 00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,520 and no one listened to those first episodes, 943 00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:41,240 so it didn't even matter anyways, 944 00:46:41,240 --> 00:46:42,680 so no one's gonna listen, 945 00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:44,000 even if you have it all figured out, 946 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:47,800 no one's gonna listen, so you just have to move forward, 947 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:49,560 and then by the time people listen, 948 00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:51,640 you'll, like, your graph will converge, 949 00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,320 and then you'll get to the point where you're actually good, 950 00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:55,680 and then people will actually listen, 951 00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:57,200 because it takes time to get people to listen, 952 00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,720 even if you're the best, like, right off the bat, 953 00:46:59,720 --> 00:47:02,680 which no one is, but, it takes time, 954 00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,280 and then that, like, it's actually good that it takes time, 955 00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:07,880 because that allows you, it gives you time 956 00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:11,480 to actually get good, like, right now, 957 00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,760 again, I haven't listened, I haven't checked my analytics 958 00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:15,160 in quite some time, but right now, 959 00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:18,240 I doubt anyone's listening, I don't, like, 960 00:47:18,240 --> 00:47:21,600 yes, people are listening, like, I had six viewers 961 00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:23,160 that were listening every single day 962 00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:25,040 for the, since last time I checked, 963 00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:29,040 so I checked the analytics probably, like, two weeks ago, 964 00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:32,760 I had six viewers that were listening to every episode, 965 00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,400 and so yes, people are listening, 966 00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,760 but when I say that, I'm speaking in big terms, 967 00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:41,520 like, thousands, millions, tens of thousands, 968 00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:43,000 hundreds of thousands, like that, 969 00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,520 and when, like, the whole thing is, 970 00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:51,440 well, actually, so, I'm figuring it out along the way, 971 00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:53,240 and I'm actually getting to the point, 972 00:47:53,240 --> 00:47:55,840 like, I'm at a transformational event, 973 00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:59,280 and I'm literally just here, 974 00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:01,320 learning, picking up a lot of golden nuggets, 975 00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:02,360 sharing them along the way, 976 00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:03,600 but I'm also incorporating them, 977 00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,120 like, I just cut out my intro, 978 00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:08,800 and another thing is, one thing that I'm gonna do 979 00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,280 is I'm gonna buy a face cam, 980 00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:14,760 because right now my YouTube presence is zero, 981 00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,080 again, I haven't checked my analytics in a couple weeks, 982 00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:20,440 but my YouTube presence is zero, 983 00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:25,440 because right now I post, I schedule my episodes 984 00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,760 to post at the same time every single day, at 12 a.m., 985 00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,800 and that's on all the podcast directories, 986 00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,840 every single place that you can get a podcast, 987 00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:38,000 or that RSS has access to, 988 00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:41,440 I post there at the same exact time, 989 00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:43,960 and it all goes at the same time, automatically, 990 00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:48,960 but the one downfall is, if you're on rss.com 991 00:48:49,240 --> 00:48:52,080 and you try and post to YouTube, 992 00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:53,160 you have to manually do it, 993 00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:58,160 so I'm not up at 12 a.m. clicking to manually post on YouTube, 994 00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:01,640 and so my YouTube consistency is lacking, 995 00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:03,240 I post every day on YouTube, 996 00:49:03,240 --> 00:49:05,480 but I'm not posting at the same time, 997 00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:07,280 and so once I get a face cam, 998 00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:11,040 I'll be able to record, with my microphone, 999 00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:15,120 I'll record just my normal episode with a face cam, 1000 00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:20,120 but what I'll do is I'll convert that video episode 1001 00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:25,520 into a podcast on podcast.ly.ai, 1002 00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:32,520 so I'm gonna record myself speaking with face cam 1003 00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:34,520 on a separate platform, 1004 00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:38,520 and then I will convert it on podcast.ly.ai 1005 00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,520 to an audio to a podcast, 1006 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,520 and then I will upload that to RSS, 1007 00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,520 and then I'll schedule both the YouTube video, 1008 00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:51,520 as well as the YouTube video, 1009 00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,520 as well as the podcast, to the same time, 1010 00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:57,520 so then I'll get consistent on YouTube, 1011 00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:00,520 and the big thing is, right now when I'm posting on to YouTube, 1012 00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:05,520 is literally like audio sound waves, 1013 00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:09,520 and it's just the classic audio form podcast 1014 00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:12,520 that RSS.com automatically makes for you, 1015 00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,520 which is good, it's fine, 1016 00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:18,520 but it's not good for people trying to watch. 1017 00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:22,520 I think that most podcast listeners on YouTube 1018 00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:25,520 are watching the video, 1019 00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:29,520 because it's like a video of the person speaking, 1020 00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:32,520 so they'll actually be able to see the person talking, 1021 00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:33,520 so that's what I plan on doing, 1022 00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:37,520 that's another little piece of, like, a little gold nugget 1023 00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:39,520 that will help me immediately, 1024 00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,520 and I haven't actually bought the face cam yet, 1025 00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:44,520 and I'm not gonna buy it until I get home, 1026 00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:46,520 because so it's probably gonna be like 1027 00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:49,520 at least 10 episodes till I start that, 1028 00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:53,520 so because right now, 1029 00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:57,520 my friend, so the whole deal with this trip 1030 00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:01,520 is my friend bought the tickets for $2,000 to lock us in, 1031 00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:04,520 and then I bought the hotel a couple months, 1032 00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:05,520 like a month later, 1033 00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,520 and I'm paying for all the food and all this stuff here, 1034 00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:12,520 and so right now I have less than $1,000 in my bank account, 1035 00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,520 and so I don't really know how much money I'll have 1036 00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:16,520 when I get home, 1037 00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:20,520 so I don't really wanna drop like $50 or $100, 1038 00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:24,520 or however much money it'll cost to buy a face cam 1039 00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:27,520 until I get home and actually do all the math, 1040 00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:30,520 because I just don't wanna put myself in a bad situation, 1041 00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:31,520 if that makes sense. 1042 00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:33,520 You gotta play smart, 1043 00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:37,520 and one amazing piece of information 1044 00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:42,520 that I've picked up on that I have been speaking about a lot 1045 00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:45,520 in the past couple episodes in the last show 1046 00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:48,520 is your worldview, your mindset, your attitude, 1047 00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:50,520 everything that goes on in your mind, 1048 00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:52,520 everything that goes on in your thoughts 1049 00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:54,520 is extremely important, 1050 00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,520 probably the most important thing, piece of you, 1051 00:51:57,520 --> 00:51:59,520 probably the most important part of your life, 1052 00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:02,520 and I learned that in Transurfing, 1053 00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:03,520 I learned that in a lot of books, 1054 00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:07,520 but I was suspicious, 1055 00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:11,520 like I knew it, but I didn't know it, if that makes sense, 1056 00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:14,520 and so I came to Fond du Lac in Live, 1057 00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:17,520 and on the first day, Russell Brunson talked about 1058 00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:18,520 the New Thought Movement, 1059 00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:22,520 and immediately my suspicions were confirmed 1060 00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:24,520 that your worldview, your mindset, 1061 00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:26,520 everything is the most important, 1062 00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:28,520 like that, everything that goes on in your head 1063 00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:29,520 is the most important thing, 1064 00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:32,520 and one thing that I, one piece of information 1065 00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:35,520 that I picked up on Related to Transurfing is 1066 00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:37,520 do not focus on the money, 1067 00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:41,520 and then also another thing is whenever you find yourself doubting, 1068 00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:44,520 you immediately destroy that thought in your mind, 1069 00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:45,520 like get rid of it, 1070 00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:48,520 and so I kind of combined those two pieces of information is 1071 00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:50,520 whenever you find yourself worrying about money, 1072 00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:52,520 destroy it out of your mind, 1073 00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:54,520 like instantly become aware of it, 1074 00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:56,520 and just release it, get rid of it, 1075 00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:58,520 do not keep it into your mind, 1076 00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:00,520 and that's like, that's another thing 1077 00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:02,520 that I've been conscious of, 1078 00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:05,520 because I am conscious of not worrying about money, 1079 00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:07,520 but you also have to play smart, 1080 00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:10,520 like it'll be stupid if I go buy a credit card 1081 00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:13,520 and finance a car right now, like that'll be stupid, 1082 00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:15,520 like there's a difference between worrying about it 1083 00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:18,520 and like focusing on your mindset, keeping your mind clean, 1084 00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:22,520 and doing stupid things, like there's a difference, 1085 00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:26,520 but that's like the mindset, 1086 00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:28,520 I actually know that the difference between, 1087 00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:30,520 alright so there's a few differences between me 1088 00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:32,520 and the people that were on stage 1089 00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:34,520 accepting awards last night, 1090 00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:38,520 one is they take action, 1091 00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:41,520 do not stop, and their mindset is different, 1092 00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:44,520 they know that they can do it, because they did it, 1093 00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,520 like and you can't get that mindset shift 1094 00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:48,520 until you actually do it, 1095 00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:51,520 like you actually have to do it to be able to know how to do it, 1096 00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:53,520 and, or you actually have to know, 1097 00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:55,520 you actually have to do it to be able to know to do it, 1098 00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:57,520 if that makes sense, 1099 00:53:57,520 --> 00:53:59,520 and so the people on stage did it, 1100 00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:00,520 so they know they can do it, 1101 00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:03,520 so it'll be easier for them to replicate and do it again, 1102 00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:05,520 because they know it's possible, 1103 00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:09,520 and another thing is they take action and they don't stop, 1104 00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:13,520 going back to my Hungarian friend, do not stop, 1105 00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:15,520 like one of my best, 1106 00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:17,520 one of the best things that I've done, 1107 00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:20,520 so I started reading self-improvement one year ago, 1108 00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:22,520 last September, 1109 00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:26,520 and one of the best things is I didn't stop, 1110 00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:28,520 I kept on moving forward, 1111 00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:31,520 and that was evident because I'm still doing it, 1112 00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:35,520 and it's like the results after that is insane, 1113 00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:38,520 because if you find yourself, you start, 1114 00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:40,520 and then you just don't stop, 1115 00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:42,520 it's like you don't even have to focus on results, 1116 00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:44,520 you don't have to focus on anything, 1117 00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:46,520 just focus on, keep on going, 1118 00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:48,520 focus on every single day, do it and do it and do it, 1119 00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:50,520 until you create a positive feedback loop. 1120 00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:53,520 Positive feedback loop is essential, 1121 00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:55,520 you just have to focus up, 1122 00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:58,520 use discipline until you form that positive feedback loop, 1123 00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:00,520 and I was conscious of that when I was podcasting, 1124 00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:03,520 because I remember, 1125 00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:07,520 I was, okay, so back when I was doing odd jobs during summer, 1126 00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:10,520 I was probably like episode 10, 15, 20, 1127 00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:13,520 and I was in the car driving to an odd job 1128 00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:16,520 at like 8 in the morning with my friend Franklin, 1129 00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:19,520 and we were talking like, 1130 00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:22,520 we want to do this, I want to do that, 1131 00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:24,520 you want to do this, 1132 00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:26,520 all of these things that we had planning on doing, 1133 00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:28,520 but I wasn't taking action, 1134 00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:30,520 and then I was talking to him, I was like, 1135 00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:33,520 I just really want to focus on podcasting right now, 1136 00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:35,520 because I know it's really important, 1137 00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:37,520 but I also want to do this stuff, 1138 00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:41,520 so I'm just going to focus on getting the positive feedback loop forms, 1139 00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:43,520 like I know it'll take a few weeks, 1140 00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:45,520 and I remember talking to him, I was like, 1141 00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:47,520 I know it'll take a few weeks, 1142 00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:49,520 just like it took a few weeks for me at the gym 1143 00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:51,520 to get a positive feedback loop, 1144 00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:54,520 to want to go to the gym every single day and get jacked, 1145 00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,520 like it took a few weeks to get a positive feedback loop formed, 1146 00:55:57,520 --> 00:55:59,520 but once you get it formed, 1147 00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:01,520 then you can work on other things, 1148 00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:07,520 and that's why I'm able to improve upon like 10 things at once. 1149 00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:09,520 Now admittedly, you have to cut out some stuff, 1150 00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:12,520 or at least like reduce the time on certain things, 1151 00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:15,520 because if you want to focus 100% on one thing, 1152 00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:18,520 like the speaker today was talking about, 1153 00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:20,520 you're not great, like you're just good, 1154 00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:23,520 or no, you're not, yeah, you're not great, you're just good, 1155 00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:26,520 like you're not great until you drop everything 1156 00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:28,520 and only focus on one thing, 1157 00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:32,520 like once you focus on one thing and become great at one thing, 1158 00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:34,520 that's when you become great, 1159 00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:36,520 but until then, you just remain good, 1160 00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:41,520 and being good is fine, 1161 00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:44,520 but you're not living up to your fullest best potential, 1162 00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:47,520 so that's why I'm focusing, 1163 00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:50,520 like that's another reason why I'm focusing so much on podcasts, 1164 00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:52,520 because I want to be great, 1165 00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:54,520 I want to be like, I know that the podcast 1166 00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:58,520 will open up so many doors to so many different things, 1167 00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:03,520 but another thing is, since I'm getting that face cam, 1168 00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:06,520 another thing is that I learned about short form content 1169 00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:08,520 and how it's amazing, 1170 00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:12,520 and sorry if you guys can hear that helicopter in the sky, 1171 00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:14,520 this is another reason why I record in the basement, 1172 00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:16,520 so there's less distractions, I control my environment, 1173 00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:21,520 but when I, well, I don't even remember what I was saying, 1174 00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:27,520 but what was I saying? 1175 00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:29,520 Control your environment and then be great, 1176 00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:31,520 and you have to focus on one thing, 1177 00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:33,520 focus on one thing only, 1178 00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:35,520 focus on podcasting, 1179 00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:38,520 and then what I was going to focus on is short form content, 1180 00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:43,520 because short form content will drive traffic into this podcast, 1181 00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:46,520 and I know that in the beginning I was working on the shorts, 1182 00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:48,520 as well as posting on TikTok, 1183 00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:50,520 I only posted two videos, 1184 00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:52,520 I was doing 18 videos on TikTok, 1185 00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:54,520 I was doing three videos a day for six days, 1186 00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:57,520 and then I realized that I didn't have the positive feedback loop 1187 00:57:57,520 --> 00:57:59,520 formed on the podcast, so I dropped the TikToks, 1188 00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:03,520 because the podcast was much more influential for my growth 1189 00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:06,520 at the time, so I wanted to focus on the positive feedback loop, 1190 00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:10,520 and now that I have it, I can comfortably, calmly, 1191 00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:14,520 and confidently add in another thing to my routine 1192 00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:16,520 and work on the TikToks, 1193 00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:20,520 working on the TikToks will be extremely beneficial 1194 00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:22,520 for the growth of this podcast, 1195 00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:25,520 because a lot more people will watch TikToks, 1196 00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:29,520 and then I can send that traffic over to this podcast. 1197 00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:32,520 And honestly, today was a great episode, 1198 00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:35,520 and I hope that it didn't get ruined by background noise, 1199 00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:37,520 and honestly, if there was no background noise, 1200 00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:39,520 you guys are probably going to be extremely confused, 1201 00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:42,520 because there won't be background noise, 1202 00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:44,520 but I can hear a lot of things going on, 1203 00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:46,520 like there's a car driving by right now, 1204 00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:48,520 there's like some birds, I don't even know, 1205 00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:52,520 but the point is it doesn't have to be perfect, 1206 00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:54,520 just take action, 1207 00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:56,520 and this is not even just about self-improvement, 1208 00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:58,520 or not just about business, 1209 00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:02,520 this is also about self-improvement and anything you do. 1210 00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:07,520 I didn't even know what my gym routine was going to be, 1211 00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:10,520 I just simply went and started lifting weights, 1212 00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:12,520 and then I figured it out along the way, 1213 00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:15,520 just start, like the most important thing is just to start. 1214 00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:18,520 The enemy of, I don't remember the exact quote, 1215 00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:21,520 but the enemy of results is delay, 1216 00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:23,520 like the enemy of wealth is delay, 1217 00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:25,520 and that's so true, 1218 00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:28,520 like if you just eliminate the enemy, 1219 00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:30,520 you can just figure it out along the way, 1220 00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:32,520 as long as the enemy doesn't exist, 1221 00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:34,520 then you won't have anything to hinder you, 1222 00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:36,520 you won't have anything to hold you back, 1223 00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:39,520 and that's like something extremely important. 1224 00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:41,520 All these, I feel like the motivational speakers 1225 00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:43,520 are the most important, 1226 00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:45,520 because they always say the same thing, 1227 00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:47,520 like just start, just start, 1228 00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:49,520 like that's all there is to it, 1229 00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:53,520 and like, it's, they're the best, to be honest, 1230 00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:55,520 but to wrap things up, 1231 00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:57,520 don't forget to download your favorite episodes 1232 00:59:57,520 --> 01:00:00,520 and subscribe to the Ascend
