1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000 How do you win the game? 2 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:07,000 So, let's answer this question. 3 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,000 How do you win the game? 4 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,000 So first we have to understand what is the game. 5 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,000 And we have to understand how to actually win it. 6 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:21,000 But to preface, I want to start this episode off by letting you guys know that 7 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:27,000 I did find a better location to record than yesterday. 8 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,000 And I'm actually in the middle of a golf course under trees, 9 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,000 kind of in an isolated area and it's right next to the highway. 10 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,000 So I'm unsure if you guys will be able to hear the highway. 11 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000 I doubt it, but I'm just saying sorry for that. 12 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,000 And also I'm unsure if you guys will be able to hear the wind. 13 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,000 Right now there's wind blowing. 14 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,000 So sorry if you do hear that as well. 15 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,000 I'll do my best to kind of remove all of that. 16 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,000 But this is the best I can do right now. 17 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,000 But I wanted to talk about winning the game. 18 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,000 So first things off, let's start with what is the game? 19 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,000 So the game is the game of life. 20 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,000 We're all playing a game right now. 21 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,000 We are born into this world and we're just thrown into this game. 22 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,000 Now some people, most people actually are fully immersed in the game. 23 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:31,000 And they're just playing out the rules like how non-playable characters in video games would play. 24 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,000 Like they're just doing exactly what they're supposed to be doing. 25 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,000 They're doing exactly what they're told to do, exactly what they're programmed to do. 26 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:46,000 And I don't have a full grasp on this picture of the game, 27 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:53,000 but I do have an understanding because I first learned, 28 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:59,000 I first started learning about this game in a book called Unscripted by MJ DeMarco. 29 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:07,000 And it basically exposes how the financial system and how most people are kind of slaved to it. 30 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,000 And slaved by it. 31 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,000 But what this game actually is, is you can actually control it. 32 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000 You can actually be the master of your own fate. 33 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,000 You can be the king of the financial system. 34 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:27,000 Now fast forward a few months, I picked up this book called Reality Transurfing. 35 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,000 And this absolutely shattered my beliefs. 36 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:38,000 So Unscripted kind of confirmed some of my suspicions. 37 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:46,000 I kind of had a suspicion that there was more to life than working a 9-to-5 job. 38 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,000 I had a suspicion that since there are millionaires in the world, 39 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000 I had a suspicion that anyone could be a millionaire. 40 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:58,000 Like anyone can make a million dollars, anyone can be free from the system 41 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000 and actually have the system work for them. 42 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:09,000 But Transurfing absolutely destroyed my worldview. 43 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:14,000 So Transurfing exposed this idea of pendulums. 44 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:21,000 And what pendulums are, they're basically whenever multiple people are thinking of the same thing, 45 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:27,000 whenever they're thinking of the same thing, then a pendulum emerges. 46 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:35,000 And if enough people are feeding energy to it and then enough people are attuned to that frequency, 47 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:43,000 then what happens is the pendulum actually develops on its own and actually becomes its own individual unit, 48 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,000 its own individual structure. 49 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,000 And so when this happens and the pendulum picks up enough energy and it becomes powerful enough, 50 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,000 it can actually control people. 51 00:03:52,000 --> 00:04:06,000 So some of the most powerful pendulums out there is the school system, Wall Street, the workforce, jobs. 52 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,000 So those are some of the most powerful pendulums. 53 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:16,000 And since we're born into a world of pendulums, then... 54 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:26,000 And what the pendulums do is once they get strong enough and powerful enough, they actually are able to, like, control... 55 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:33,000 They're actually able to pick up adherence, so get people to think on its wavelength and then control it. 56 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:40,000 And so the pendulums control the person and then it instills thoughts and beliefs and it shapes their mind. 57 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,000 It shapes their worldview. 58 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:46,000 It shapes everything that goes on in their mind to serve the pendulum. 59 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,000 And we're born into this world destined to be great. 60 00:04:50,000 --> 00:05:01,000 We're already pretty much guaranteed greatness as long as we don't, like, screw it up ourselves or as long as we don't get picked up by a pendulum. 61 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:06,000 And we're born into this world by individual... 62 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,000 Like, we're individual souls. 63 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,000 We're all our own people. 64 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:16,000 And so when you are picked up by a pendulum, you actually lose your individuality. 65 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,000 And then you lose all of this kind of... 66 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,000 You gain a common sense. 67 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,000 And then you basically get to the point where you're just thinking about... 68 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,000 Thinking what the pendulum needs you to think. 69 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,000 So it teaches you everything to think. 70 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:39,000 And this is evident in the school system, in the workforce, in the jail system. 71 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,000 Prison system. 72 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,000 The...anything. 73 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:48,000 Like, one of the most powerful that I'm dealing with right now is the school system. 74 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,000 Now let me explain. 75 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:57,000 So I grew up in America, just outside of Chicago. 76 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:03,000 And I grew up going to school like a normal American... 77 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,000 Like a normal American. 78 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:12,000 And basically this pendulum grabbed a hold of me and I started to become an inherent. 79 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,000 And so for my entire life, my thoughts were shaped. 80 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,000 And they were formed by this school system. 81 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:27,000 And I was...my mindset was shaped and then it was kind of confined. 82 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,000 It was...it shrunk, essentially. 83 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:37,000 Because the school system doesn't benefit from people living their own lives, 84 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:42,000 living individually free, living to their fullest potential. 85 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,000 The school system benefits from cogs in the machine. 86 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,000 People who are going to feed energy to it and do the work. 87 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:56,000 And the school system basically teaches to be a kaga machine. 88 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,000 And what that looks like is to work a 9-5 job. 89 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,000 Pretty much, that's it. Work a 9-5 job. 90 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:09,000 Like, that's why most people go to college and then get a degree, just so they can get a job. 91 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:15,000 So this is one of the most dangerous pendulums that I'm facing right now, because I'm a senior. 92 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:22,000 And actually, over the past week, I missed all...like this whole week of school. 93 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:27,000 It's Saturday today. And I missed the past week of school, 94 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:32,000 because I went to this business conference called Funnel Hacking Life. 95 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:37,000 And I'm going to be honest, it absolutely revolutionized everything. 96 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,000 It gave me a lot of clarity. 97 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,000 I was really already suspicious on what to do. 98 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,000 I already had my suspicions on how to move forward. 99 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,000 And what this conference did was it basically confirmed everything for me. 100 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,000 And basically, confirmed my suspicions. 101 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:59,000 And now, all of the things that I was already kind of doing and already suspected, 102 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:07,000 for example, I suspected that mindset and worldview was big, very important for becoming successful. 103 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:14,000 I suspected that even like tactical things that I was doing, like working on a podcast was important. 104 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,000 All of these things were confirmed. 105 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,000 Every single thing was confirmed. 106 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,000 You have to have the right mindset. You have to have the right worldview, the right attitude. 107 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:30,000 You have to be doing the right strategies according to your own beliefs, your own path. 108 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:35,000 So my strategies, my tactics that I'm doing right now are going to be different. 109 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:40,000 They may be similar, but they're going to be different from person to person. 110 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,000 So that's why you have some people doing just podcasts. 111 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:52,000 Some people not even on social media at all, they're just working on like their own business or something like that. 112 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,000 Like everyone has their own path. 113 00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:01,000 And that's basically when we come into this world, we're placed in this body, our soul is placed in a body, 114 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:06,000 and it's basically like a clean sheet, a blank canvas. 115 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:12,000 And so what this blank canvas does, like what happens is whenever we perceive the world 116 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000 and we can actually choose how we perceive the world. 117 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:19,000 So what we choose to perceive the world as is what's written on our blank canvas. 118 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,000 It's basically our worldview. 119 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:26,000 And so naturally we live in a world of pendulums. 120 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:32,000 So these pendulums pick us up, grab ahold of our canvas and take our hand 121 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:37,000 and basically lead our hand to write certain things down. 122 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:44,000 And what these things are are narrow restricted, confined worldviews that keep us placed. 123 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:52,000 We're born, I was listening to Garrett J. White speak today on the fourth day of the event, the last day of the event. 124 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,000 I just heard him speak like an hour ago. 125 00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:05,000 And what he said is that we're born into a system that is meant to keep you down. 126 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,000 It's meant for you to lose in the system. 127 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:14,000 You're born into a system where you're basically destined for failure. 128 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:21,000 Not destined for failure, but you're born in a system where it basically, how do I word this? 129 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,000 He worded it very well. 130 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,000 I forgot what he said. 131 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:30,000 But basically the system that we're in, like the entire system, the entire game, 132 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:35,000 is designed to prevent people from winning. 133 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:40,000 It's designed to keep people in the losing bucket, keep people losing. 134 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:51,000 And I was thinking like last night, me and my friend Franklin were both at this business conference together in Florida. 135 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,000 Like we're both in Florida right now, Orlando. 136 00:10:53,000 --> 00:11:00,000 And I can actually see him on the other side of the golf course right now recording YouTube short or TikTok in a tree. 137 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,000 So that's awesome. 138 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,000 But we're both here together. 139 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:13,000 And basically what we're doing is we realized last night that our worldview is so important. 140 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:18,000 And what we discovered was strategy over tactics. 141 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:33,000 So we were talking about all of the big guys, Jeff Bezos, even Russell Brunson, Damon John, Grant Cardone, 142 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,000 all of these guys know all the strategies. 143 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,000 They know their strategy, but they don't necessarily know the tactics. 144 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,000 They don't know what, they don't know how to post a podcast. 145 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,000 They don't know what their merchant account is. 146 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,000 They don't know any of these tactic things. 147 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,000 They don't know how to create a funnel builder. 148 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:59,000 Or they know how to create a funnel, but they don't know how. 149 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:07,000 And what that means is they know the strategy behind it, but they don't necessarily know how to actually go about to create it. 150 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,000 The tactical part. 151 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,000 They don't know how to get onto the website. 152 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,000 They don't know how to actually use the website. 153 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:21,000 This is all stuff that they do because they basically, what I realized is that the big entrepreneurs, the big business owners, 154 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,000 are the ones who are masters of the strategies. 155 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:33,000 And then what they do is, since they're masters of the strategies and they don't know the tactics, they don't waste their time trying to learn the tactics. 156 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,000 What they do is they actually hire people. 157 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,000 They hire a team. 158 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:45,000 So all of the big guys have a team and they hire an entire team to do the tactics for them. 159 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:54,000 So what they do is they basically just know the strategies and then they tell the team what to do, like the strategy behind it. 160 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,000 And then the team goes in and implements it. 161 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:04,000 So I'm kind of getting off topic, but that is one, that's like strategies over tactics. 162 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,000 That's what I've learned. 163 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,000 And also I want to talk about worldview, mindset. 164 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:14,000 So for some background knowledge, I have been on self-improvement. 165 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:19,000 I've been lifting, I've been working on my health for all of high school. 166 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:24,000 So the past like three years, I'm a senior, I started in freshman year. 167 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:32,000 And then I, no, actually I think I started in sophomore year, but it doesn't really matter when I started. 168 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:37,000 So I've been focusing on health for pretty much all of high school. 169 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:43,000 And then I started lifting two years ago and then I started reading one year ago. 170 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:51,000 And then the books that I was reading were Breath, The New Science of a Lost Art, The Oxygen Advantage, The China Study, 171 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:58,000 like all of these health related books, like all the things to increase my health, fitness, like all of this stuff. 172 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:04,000 And I got to the point where I'm like, okay, I know, like I have a basic idea of where to go forward. 173 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:10,000 And I got to the point where I'm fairly confident I can get to a healthy state. 174 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,000 I can become healthy and I can do all these things. 175 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:22,000 And I was thinking, I kind of had this intuitive idea that the next step is my mindset. 176 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:30,000 I didn't know much about mindset before, but I was thinking like, okay, I was working on my physical body, 177 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,000 but what about like everything that goes on inside of my head? 178 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,000 Like that was kind of what I was thinking at the time. 179 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:42,000 And little did I know, little did I know how valuable that actually is, 180 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,000 like more valuable than even working on health and fitness in my opinion. 181 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,000 And I'm just in the beginning and I've realized that this is so valuable. 182 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:57,000 So what I did was I was looking, I looked up mindset books on Google. 183 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:04,000 And I don't really remember what the searches showed, but I just remember thinking like, yeah, I don't want to read any of these books. 184 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,000 These aren't, these don't seem that great. 185 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,000 And then I kind of just gave up on looking for mindset books. 186 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:19,000 So I went back into my like focusing on all these like health physical stuff. 187 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,000 And then after a little bit, I was watching Tik Tok at the, or not Tik Tok, 188 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:34,000 I was watching YouTube shorts at the time and I stumbled upon this video, a fan channel, Iman Gazi's fan channel. 189 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:40,000 Someone's fan channel for Iman Gazi and someone, it was like, there was probably like 10 likes on the video. 190 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,000 So no one watched it. 191 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:47,000 And I, someone like, it was the video was like 10 seconds long, probably. 192 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:56,000 And someone walked up to Iman Gazi, interviewed him real quick and asked, hey, you've suggested some books on this channel, 193 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,000 but they're all pretty much introduction. 194 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,000 They're all beginner type books. 195 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,000 So what kind of more advanced books are you studying right now? 196 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,000 What kind of, what books are you studying right now? 197 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,000 And so Iman Gazi said, reality Transurfing. 198 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,000 And then that's it. 199 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,000 That was the video. 200 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:15,000 And so I bought it. 201 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,000 I went on Amazon and bought it. 202 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,000 It was like 80 bucks. 203 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:25,000 It was a pretty big investment considering I didn't even know what Transurfing was. 204 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,000 I didn't know anything about it, but something just told me to buy it. 205 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,000 So I bought it. 206 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:38,000 And then fast forward six months later, I actually seven months now probably, I have studied it. 207 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,000 I've read it two times, two times through. 208 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:48,000 And what I learned in that book is that your mindset is actually the most important. 209 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:54,000 Now he didn't say this like directly, but pretty much the whole book was about how important your mindset is. 210 00:16:54,000 --> 00:17:00,000 And when you are thinking, you're actually creating your world. 211 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:05,000 Just by thinking, you're creating the layer of your world. 212 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:23,000 So I realized all this and I was learning a lot about how to clean up my mind and then how to like kind of structure my thinking in a certain way and follow certain principles and rules to get what I want and achieve my goals and my result. 213 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,000 And like just the life that I desire. 214 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:32,000 So that goal or that book basically lays out frameworks and principles to follow and adhere to. 215 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:37,000 So I learned about all that stuff and I started implementing it. 216 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,000 And I was like, yes, this is good. 217 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,000 This is exactly the book that I needed. 218 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:50,000 In fact, if I could only read one book for the rest of my life currently at this moment, the book that I would choose is Reality Transurfing by Vadim Zahn. 219 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:58,000 And that's for very good reason because I really believe that it's a foundation and let's go back to the pendulums. 220 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:04,000 So by the way, the pendulums is a concept I learned about on trans on Transurfing. 221 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:12,000 So this let's talk about how pendulums basically instill a worldview into you. 222 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:26,000 And if you've never really took any account into it and like never really paid any attention to it, then start to tell you but you probably have a worldview that is not benefiting you. 223 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:36,000 And so let's talk about how my what basically I drew a picture today in my notebook right when I sat down at the event. 224 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,000 I was basically recapping kind of one of the most important things I learned. 225 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,000 So what I drew was just a square at the bottom of my page. 226 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,000 And what that represented was the foundation. 227 00:18:47,000 --> 00:19:00,000 And then I just wrote the foundation and then I said, and I was just writing like what kind of books does the foundation lay out or like what kind of books give you a foundation to your life. 228 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:05,000 And so this picture was representing your life like on the side, I wrote a line and I said life. 229 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:14,000 So this is basically your life and I wanted to represent your life as kind of like a house or just whatever, like a building. 230 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,000 So some people choose to build a small little shack. 231 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:23,000 That's like the average average people, normal people build a small shack. 232 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:31,000 And then other people just choose to choose to build a massive castle or a mansion or whatever it may be. 233 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:37,000 And that's greatness. That's like the 1% that's the all the top people. 234 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:42,000 And so first you have to do the first thing you do is to build a foundation. 235 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,000 Now automatically the foundation is laid out for us. 236 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:56,000 Just we're led by the hand from our childhood to go into the pendulums like to think to adhere to the pendulum rule do as I do. 237 00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:04,000 And we're automatically kind of led by the hand of pendulums and thoughts are instilled in us. 238 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:09,000 And then what happens is the pendulums lay a foundation for us. 239 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:16,000 Now this is a very small weak foundation and it's actually a destructive foundation too. 240 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:23,000 The only thing that you can really build on this foundation in my opinion is a shack. 241 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:29,000 And that's what most people have. Most people's lives are akin to a shack. 242 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,000 Because they have a weak foundation. 243 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:38,000 And so what I drew next was I drew a castle. 244 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,000 Like I drew the outline of a castle on top of the foundation. 245 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:55,000 And so but let's rewind. I want to say the two books that I wrote down that were kind of teaching about the foundation was reality transurfing and 10x is easier than 2x. 246 00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:02,000 Now for kind of context I just learned about that book 10x is easier than 2x yesterday. 247 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,000 And I'll talk more about that in this episode later. 248 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:19,000 And I haven't even read the book yet so I'm not even 100% sure if it's really this great or if it's really supposed to be on this part of the picture. 249 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:26,000 But from what I heard in the speech I'll talk about this later in the episode. 250 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,000 But right now I want to talk about the castle. 251 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,000 So what I laid out is the castle is the strategy. 252 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:48,000 So books strategy books are books like expert secrets dot com secrets like all like general strategies for business life and it would be like a general strategy would be lifting push pole legs. 253 00:21:48,000 --> 00:22:01,000 And then the tactics would be like lift three by 12 reps with dumbbells at this certain degree like that that's the tactics. 254 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:06,000 And then I drew one more thing. 255 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:14,000 So then I drew kind of like vines and I tried to decorate the castle and then I labeled the vines tactics. 256 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:19,000 So let's recap the foundation is worldview mindset. 257 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:30,000 The castle is strategy and then the vines the decoration the paint on the castle all the decoration is tactics. 258 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:43,000 So again I just wrote this picture I kind of came up with this picture and outline today like five four five hours ago. 259 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:50,000 And then I want to talk about the book that I'm reading or the book that I'm going to start reading. 260 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,000 I actually started this morning. 261 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:59,000 I only read a paragraph because I had like five minutes but the book that the next book I'm reading is going to be called it's called 10x is easy. 262 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,000 It's called 10x is easier than 2x. 263 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:10,000 So I want to before I say this I want to kind of give you bring back up the what I said about transfer thing. 264 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,000 So what I like to what I want to talk about the foundation as well. 265 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:26,000 So what I like to think is when we're born we're born into a world of pendulums and these pendulums kind of lay out a foundation for us. 266 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:32,000 And so if that's this foundation is only sufficient for a shack. 267 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:40,000 So if you want a shack if you want your life to be a shack then don't even worry about it just keep that foundation and build your life on top of it. 268 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:48,000 And if you want bigger if you want your life to be better then you have to dig out that foundation and then fill it in with something else. 269 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:58,000 So what I like to think of transfer in that book is basically you digging it out digging out that foundation and starting to fill the pavement. 270 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:07,000 And then just transfer in alone can give you probably the strongest foundation you've ever had in your like you can ever achieve. 271 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:17,000 But you have to like really become proficient and an expert at the principles and transfer in which I've read the 750 page book two times. 272 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,000 And I say I'm still a beginner. 273 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:25,000 I have gotten a lot of results and a lot of my life is absolutely changed because of it. 274 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:30,000 But I don't think that with just two I don't have a strong enough foundation. 275 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:36,000 So and then I also realized that there's one more there's like a missing piece. 276 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:46,000 There's an I was it was brought to my attention yesterday when Benjamin Hardy the co-author of the book 10 X is easier than two. 277 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:52,000 He came to speak yesterday and I realized that there was a whole nother part of this mindset. 278 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,000 There's a whole. 279 00:24:53,000 --> 00:25:08,000 So basically I see it transfer as a worldview and then 10 X is easier than two X as a mindset and basically the then the both of those things the worldview and the mindset go on in your mind in your head like go on in your head. 280 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:18,000 But what I see the 10 X is easier than two X as a mindset because it basically preaches that most people follow the two X rule. 281 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:33,000 Most people when they're trying to improve me included up to yesterday kind of structure or lead their thoughts in the direction of the past. 282 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:50,000 They kind of I don't really know how to explain it because I haven't read the book yet and I just heard the presentation and to be honest when the quote if you hear something you forget if you see something you remember if you do something you understand it that quote is so true because I heard this presentation. 283 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,000 I was taking a lot of notes but I forgot a lot of it. 284 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:58,000 And so I have to either go back and read my notes or read the book and I'm choosing to do both. 285 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:19,000 But I haven't done it yet. And so forgive me because I'm a beginner at this but pretty much most people and I want to bring up the to your attention this one quote of if most people are doing it then you shouldn't you should probably not do it. 286 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:29,000 Or if most people are doing it then it will lead you to the path of most if most like most people are living their lives are a shack. 287 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:34,000 So if you want more don't listen to most don't do what most do. 288 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:58,000 So when I came to realize me included yesterday Benjamin Hardy brought to my attention that most people are structuring their thinking in marginal improvements and they're structuring their thinking in such a way that they're kind of focused on the past or focus on comparing themselves to the past which I have done because a lot of my episodes if you've listened. 289 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:07,000 I'm basically always bringing back up my growth which I think is fine right now. 290 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:11,000 But I need to read this book that's why. 291 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:15,000 And so I'll be reading over the next week or two. 292 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:25,000 I don't know how long it'll take but the next thing is what you're supposed to do what the 10x do what the 1% do is they focus on the future. 293 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:29,000 They basically frame their present based on their future. 294 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:36,000 And what they do is they picture themselves having an impossible goal. 295 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,000 Their future is impossible. 296 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:43,000 And so what happens is they have an impossible goal. 297 00:27:43,000 --> 00:28:03,000 And now they have to frame all of their current decisions actions attitudes habits all of these things they have to frame this according to this future goal so they end up making a lot they they kind of filter out all the junk and only receive the new and the good. 298 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:08,000 And so that's why 10x is easier than 2x. 299 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:13,000 And that's the next piece of the mindset that I was missing. 300 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,000 And I'm sure there's more. 301 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:19,000 But right now this is the next piece of the mindset. 302 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:24,000 So I see going back to the foundation metaphor. 303 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:28,000 I see pendulums is filling in the foundation for us. 304 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:32,000 Transurfing is getting rid of the foundation and starting to fill it in. 305 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:42,000 And then 10x is easier than 2x is filling it in more and like polishing it and applying a strengthening unit to it. 306 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:57,000 And also I realized that let's kind of recap so pretty much we're in a game of life and we're it taught certain worldview to keep us down. 307 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:02,000 And there's a certain word there's a worldview called transurfing. 308 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:11,000 And then there's a mindset called 10x is easier than 2x that basically teaches you how to become a 1% because anyone can be a 1%. 309 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:17,000 A quote by Vadim Zan is the chosen ones choose themselves. 310 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:24,000 And that basically says that anyone can be a millionaire anyone can be a billionaire that all the billionaires of the world chose themselves. 311 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:30,000 And today listening to all the speakers or actually over the past week listening to all the speakers. 312 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,000 I realized that everyone had their struggles. 313 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:44,000 Everyone has that voice in their head holding them back everyone even the successful people and everyone has their downfalls pitfalls everything. 314 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:51,000 And so it's just those who choose to ignore the voice in their head and take action anyways. 315 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:58,000 One of the terms that I learned yesterday is called just give her. 316 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:02,000 And it basically means to do it anyways take action anyways. 317 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:14,000 And I forgot the guy's name but he wrote a book called just give her and he basically came to talk yesterday and he talked about the just give her. 318 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,000 So that was awesome. 319 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:24,000 And that's why right now I'm just focusing on worldview because I feel like the foundation is extremely important. 320 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:28,000 Like you wouldn't build a house without building a strong foundation. 321 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:34,000 You wouldn't build your life without having a strong foundation to it which is your worldview your worldview is the foundation to your life. 322 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:45,000 So that's why I'm really focusing I'm really dialing in on worldview mindset all of this stuff it's a foundation to build an amazing life that you want. 323 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:53,000 And with that said I still want to take action on my business because one it's action taken on the business. 324 00:30:53,000 --> 00:31:05,000 So I'm moving forward to my goals but also it gives me a very unique and excellent opportunity to strengthen my knowledge by teaching exactly what I'm learning in real time. 325 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:24,000 So if I hadn't started this podcast I would not have had as much success or understanding as I have now from reading my books like if I didn't start this podcast I still would be learning I still would be learning about stuff on the books. 326 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:31,000 But I wouldn't have nearly as much understanding because when you teach something you strengthen your own understanding. 327 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:37,000 So with that said that is extremely important to understand. 328 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:47,000 So that's why I'm recording on the podcast plus a extreme it's a very good self improvement act like it's a very good thing to do for self improvement. 329 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:59,000 Because if you go back to my first episode which fun fact it's not even my first episode is my 15th episode but if you go back to that episode and listen to it you'll know the difference. 330 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:27,000 It's like I grew so much as a person not only in self improvement but also in my speaking and my confidence like on my first episode I also talked about this yesterday and I had a similar experience yesterday as I have today but on my first episode I was kind of embarrassed I was ashamed and I was whispering into my microphone because I didn't want my family to hear and I was in my basement. 331 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:35,000 I still am in my basement not today or yesterday or the past week but I'm like when I go home I will be in my basement again. 332 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:51,000 This is just the place I record it's distraction free it's my environment but the thing is that podcasting I haven't gotten any monetary benefits and I understood that it was going to take. 333 00:32:51,000 --> 00:33:02,000 Russell Brunson said if you focus on if you post on your show daily for an entire year you'll never have to worry about money again so I went in it with the mindset that it's not going to be instant it may take a year. 334 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:13,000 And that's okay but one thing I didn't realize I kind of understood that it's good to find your voice but I didn't realize how valuable that is in your life because. 335 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:26,000 I'm sitting in the I'm standing actually with a microphone attached to a Mac book in the middle of a golf course and I'm shirtless I'm not wearing a shirt or shoes or socks. 336 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:42,000 And I'm just walking around pacing around my notebook or not notebook my my friend's computer actually I'm pacing around this making weird hand signals just kind of like leaning forward leaning back doing weird things I probably look like an absolute idiot. 337 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:55,000 And there's probably been like 20 people 30 people 50 people walk by me not even counting the cars driving by which I don't even think they can see me but it doesn't matter. 338 00:33:55,000 --> 00:34:07,000 Like I've made eye contact with probably at least 15 people over the course of this episode which I am actually like not even 35 minutes into. 339 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:24,000 And I've made eye contact with many people some people have stared at me some people are staring at me and the thing is if you took me 70 days ago I would not have ever done this I would have folded under pressure I wouldn't have even attempted to record in public. 340 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:38,000 But now I'm able to make eye contact with people while I'm recording while I'm speaking while I'm shirtless and make eye contact with them and not be phased. 341 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:46,000 Now there are moments when I do lose my focus because I am like I it's just a distraction. 342 00:34:46,000 --> 00:35:05,000 It's not necessarily me being ashamed or embarrassed it's just a distraction when people walk by which I understand because I'm in public so it is my fault that I'm in this situation but this is the best spot to record that I found so far because everywhere like there's 5000 people at this event. 343 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:21,000 So people are walking the halls so like you can't really escape from people and so I just went to my the most isolated place which I discovered today was on the opposite end of the golf course in this like tree area so. 344 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:27,000 And I actually almost got kicked off some like yesterday I got kicked off of the golf course in the first half. 345 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:49,000 In the first eight minutes I recorded in the golf course and then I paused it if you go back on the video you might be able to hear the cut but I paused it and then I got kicked off and I had to move over but I started recording I was 30 seconds 45 seconds in to this episode and then I actually. 346 00:35:49,000 --> 00:36:01,000 It's another guy in the golf cart rode up to me and kicked almost kicked me out as well but I paused it and then he said like I'll tell you what I'll let you be here so that's pretty much. 347 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:12,000 This I don't even know what I went on that tangent for but that's like what happened so I ended up deleting that first 45 seconds because it was only 45 seconds so I just restarted. 348 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:22,000 But going back to the worldview I'm realizing that there are kind of two types of speakers well there's more types of speakers but there are. 349 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:32,000 Russell set up the fun lacking live event in such a way where we would both be able to learn but also get inspiration and motivation. 350 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:45,000 And some people are so there was a kind of like a strategy slash tactical kind of speaker and then there were other speakers that were purely just for motivation and inspiration. 351 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:53,000 And that was evident today especially because both the speakers that came up Gary J. White and. 352 00:36:53,000 --> 00:37:03,000 What's his name Ben. 353 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:07,000 Or Ben call I don't know. 354 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:17,000 He they were both motivational speakers they were just telling their story and like pretty much getting us to get motivated and all that. 355 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:30,000 But what I realized is that. The motivational speakers are actually the ones we need to be listening to because yes the strategies slash tactical speakers are important to listen to. 356 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,000 Like for example on the first day or the second day. 357 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:54,000 Or yeah the first day the tactical strategy speaker spoke about shorts and posting on social media and all that stuff which was very I'm very grateful that I listened to that because it confirmed my suspicions like I was already headed that path anyways but it confirmed my suspicions on that's the right path forward. 358 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:55,000 So it's important. 359 00:37:55,000 --> 00:38:02,000 But the real important like you can get away with not knowing the strategies for now. 360 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:15,000 But what you need to know is you need to know the inspirational concepts the concepts that all the motivational speakers all the life coaches are teaching. 361 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:21,000 And that's basically summed up is to take action started starting out like. 362 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:40,000 But there's a lot of different kind of frameworks that other motivational speakers gave like just give her that guy was more of a tactical strategy speaker but he actually sprinkled in some motivation and created a word called just give her. 363 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,000 And it basically says take action. 364 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:52,000 And then another person. 365 00:38:52,000 --> 00:39:01,000 Which is basically taking action because your extreme ownership is oh I'm in chart like I am the reason why I have this life. 366 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:06,000 Like I chose this life and I'm going to take ownership of it so I'm going to take action now. 367 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:12,000 All of the things kind of sum up from one thing is taking action. 368 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:21,000 And that's what that's another thing like right now I'm only 18 years old so I'm in the beginning of my life and going back to the metaphor. 369 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:35,000 Right now I'm at the beginning life so it makes sense to create a very strong foundation that's why I'm focusing so hard on mindset because I'm sure once I have the mindset it'll shift and I won't really care too much about the motivational speakers. 370 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:53,000 And I did see this like I saw some older people leave during the motivational speakers and then come back during the strategies because for them they already have the mindset they already have the world do that they need for their life they already have the foundation strong enough big enough wide enough for the life that they want the castle they want to build on top of it. 371 00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:59,000 And so at that point strategies are important to know that you need to know the strategies now. 372 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:09,000 So that's why I feel like in order to go out throughout your life you need to follow the same order that you would follow to build a castle. 373 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:16,000 If you want greatness in your life build build your life in the same order you would build a castle. 374 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:24,000 If you want average mediocrity in your life go about you're building your life in the same order you would build a shack. 375 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:37,000 And that order is first you lay out the foundation which is your worldview your mindset your attitude towards life how you perceive the world like all that stuff everything that goes on in your mind that's the foundation. 376 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:47,000 And then you start to build up the structure the actual castle building and it starts to take form. 377 00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:54,000 That's the strategies that's what to do that's all that stuff. 378 00:40:54,000 --> 00:41:12,000 And then you start to decorate it like and you learned how to decorate that's the tactics you start putting paint on you start adding in like windows you start adding in like plants house plans vines a garden pool like all all that stuff. 379 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:26,000 That is how you should go about with building your life you as a foundation worldview build the building strategies decorate the building tactics. 380 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:37,000 And then what you could do actually what most high successful people do is they build a foundation they spend a lot of time building the foundation. 381 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:46,000 And then what they do is they learn how to build the strategy they learn how to build the building they learn all the strategies. 382 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:56,000 And then they just hire outsource the decoration they have other people decorate for them and that's how they build the entire their entire life. 383 00:41:56,000 --> 00:42:05,000 And I've been studying for I've been studying books for a year I've only been studying like worldview getting into this actual important stuff. 384 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:11,000 Don't get me wrong. Breathing health diet all this stuff is important massively important. 385 00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,000 I still focus on it every day. 386 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:18,000 But the real big game changers are your mindset worldview. 387 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:30,000 And so I've only been focusing on this stuff for the past six months and I didn't really dial in on it until probably like four months ago five months ago three months ago. 388 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:40,000 Didn't really dial in on it until recently. And so I'm only like three months into my six months into my foundation. 389 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:47,000 And I definitely plan on learning more that's why I'm going to read the 10x is easier than 2x because that's a massively important book. 390 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:56,000 It's extremely important. It teaches exactly how high successful ultra successful entrepreneurs. 391 00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:05,000 Ultra successful business leaders businessmen business women are all their mindsets like Steve Jobs. 392 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:17,000 He absolutely revolutionized the way we communicate with each other the way we access the Internet the way we use like he revolutionized the telephone industry the phone like all that stuff. 393 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:25,000 He started the smart or no he didn't start the smartphone industry but he basically started. 394 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:30,000 What did he start the smartphone industry. I think I don't even know. 395 00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:35,000 Doesn't matter. But pretty much he didn't make smart goals. 396 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:42,000 What Ben Hardy talked about was smart goals are holding you back. 397 00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:50,000 Just the other day I was in a business class business incubator class which is great. 398 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:56,000 But we had to learn a smart goal. We had to do a smart goal set a smart goal. 399 00:43:56,000 --> 00:44:14,000 And I didn't realize how damaging that is for your mindset your world view for your life until I heard Ben Hardy speak because when you're when you try and like marginally increase your health or marginally increase your testosterone levels like my friend was talking about. 400 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:27,000 Literally this morning we were talking about 10x is the other than 2x and when he out he said he was trying to increase his testosterone levels by two like 10%. 401 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:41,000 And what he was doing was he would research you deep dive on like Reddit on forums like all of these things he would learn some extremely esoteric extremely niche things like. 402 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:51,000 He said something extremely scientific to me he speaks in a lot of scientific terms that I don't even understand but. 403 00:44:51,000 --> 00:45:01,000 Pretty much he like for example one thing that he's doing is like he's got like eight supplements which I think they're good. 404 00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:08,000 That's a bad example. Let me I don't even know. 405 00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:11,000 Carrots. 406 00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:17,000 There was one really interesting thing that he was doing that was marginally increasing his testosterone. 407 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:28,000 So it doesn't matter what he was doing the point of the matter is he spent lots of time and effort researching how to increase his testosterone by 10%. 408 00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:32,000 He wasn't really he wasn't like. 409 00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:38,000 He wasn't really conscious or he wasn't like saying oh how do I increase my testosterone 10%. 410 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:41,000 He was like okay I want to increase my testosterone a lot. 411 00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:47,000 How do I do it and then he went about looking for certain like things to do. 412 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,000 He went about looking for. 413 00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:55,000 Little strategies tactics to do and he went into a niche thing. 414 00:45:55,000 --> 00:46:05,000 Pretty much the point is that he said I was spending all this time learning how to 10% increase my testosterone when I was literally sleeping like six hours a night. 415 00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:11,000 Like I was my foundation the entire foundation of my health my sleep. 416 00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:17,000 I was just ignoring and I was just focusing on these tiny little 10% improvements which were helping. 417 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:20,000 But if I were to have just improved my sleep. 418 00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:26,000 Now I'm not sure if improving your sleep increases your testosterone I'm sure it may because sleep is the foundation of health. 419 00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:32,000 Like I learned that in the why we sleep book sleep is massively important the most important piece of your health. 420 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:37,000 And he was like his sleep was terrible and it still is terrible. 421 00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:48,000 But he realized now after listening to the 10x we have to be filtering out like is this going to 10% improve me or is this going to 10x me. 422 00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:58,000 Is this going to multiply my self by two times or 10 times or 100 times or 1000 times. 423 00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:11,000 And one great story that Benjamin Hardy had taught or told yesterday which I'm going to retell is he's got a son who is on he's a very good tennis player. 424 00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:23,000 And he was talking to his tennis coach and the coach was like so what are you going to do are you going to like what's your goals on tennis. 425 00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:31,000 And for context they live in Florida and like Florida is like one of the best tennis states out there. 426 00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:40,000 And so he is like amongst a lot of competition and there's a lot of tennis players amazing great tennis players in Florida. 427 00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:51,000 And so Benjamin Hardy's son responded to his coach saying I want I want to go to college and then Benjamin his coach. 428 00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,000 And then that was that was it. 429 00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,000 That was his goal. 430 00:47:56,000 --> 00:48:05,000 And then Ben Hardy talked to his son about that conversation a little bit while later and asked like. 431 00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:11,000 Well do you think you can get to college and his son responded. 432 00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:12,000 I don't know. 433 00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:13,000 I'm not sure. 434 00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:19,000 And then Ben Hardy was like well do you want to go pro. 435 00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:25,000 And then Ben hard or his son was like yeah that'd be cool. 436 00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:34,000 And then Ben Hardy said well do you think you're going to go pro and his son said no. 437 00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:43,000 And that's because there are so many paths to get to college level like that was his goal college level. 438 00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:54,000 But his real goal was pro but he was just focused on college level because that is kind of like the smart goal the realistic and I say realistic with quotes like but or not quotes but bunny ears. 439 00:48:54,000 --> 00:49:01,000 That's kind of like the realistic goal the smart goal that he set for himself to go college. 440 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:04,000 And that's what society teaches us back to the pendulum. 441 00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:13,000 We society teaches us to set smart goals because they're achievable or realistic and I say these all with bunny ears. 442 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:20,000 And that's another way that society keeps us down keeps us conditioned to stay trapped in the box. 443 00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:25,000 And so Benjamin Hardy's son or no. 444 00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:33,000 And Ben Hardy yesterday when he was on the story he drew took out a whiteboard and started drawing and he drew like 20 arrows. 445 00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:43,000 All right so he drew three lines on top of each other on the bottom line was where you are now on the middle line was college level and then the top line was professional. 446 00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:50,000 And so he pretty much drew like 20 lines going up to the college level. 447 00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:55,000 These represent all the different paths to get to college. 448 00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:59,000 So there are a lot of different paths to take to get to the professional level. 449 00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:08,000 But then he only drew like again there was 20 paths to get to college level when in reality there's like thousands a lot of different paths to get to college level. 450 00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:12,000 But a lot of different coaches to get to college level as well. 451 00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:21,000 So you can pretty much randomly take any coach and you'll be able to get to college level and any path. 452 00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:28,000 And then but there's only like one or two lines that he drew that extended all the way up to the professional level. 453 00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:39,000 So there is only like a specific way one or two ways to get to pro or one or two coaches that can actually get you professional level. 454 00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:46,000 And so when he told his son that he was like are you on the right path to go pro and the son was like no. 455 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:51,000 And so pretty much now I don't know how the story turned out. 456 00:50:51,000 --> 00:51:01,000 I forgot if he even said it but I assume the son is now going to choose the right coach that can get him to professional level and he'll want to achieve the college level. 457 00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,000 But he's got a real big golden animal. 458 00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:20,000 So now he's filtering all of his actions through the big massive seemingly impossible goal because that's like the whole point of the 10 X is you're than 2 X from what I could understand is if you filter all your decisions through realistic. 459 00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:23,000 And I say that with bunny ears again realistic goals. 460 00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:32,000 Then you're kind of just going to marginally improve and your your vision is kind of like going to take in everything your filter. 461 00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:42,000 The way you see the world to your filter all the information you filter in you're going to take in like those 20 different paths like all the different paths to get to college level. 462 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:53,000 But what you need to be doing is you got to set that massive impossible impossible seeming goal. 463 00:51:53,000 --> 00:52:00,000 And then that will make you filter all of the things and you'll realize oh these 20 paths they all suck. 464 00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,000 Only three of them are good. 465 00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:06,000 Only three of them can actually get to get me to where I need to go. 466 00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:14,000 So now you filter a very specific small amount because he also talks about the 80 20 rule 80% of the actions. 467 00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:20,000 So this is the 2 X mindset the mindset of taking the 20 paths to get to college. 468 00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:30,000 80% of your actions are comfortable old like you're you're good at them and only 20% are new that are getting you to the next level. 469 00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:41,000 So that is like 80% of the paths possible are not going to are going to get you to where you want but only 20% are going to get you further. 470 00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:45,000 And then the opposite. 471 00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:55,000 So if you reverse it you have the 10 X mindset if you're only doing 20% of your daily actions as what you're comfortable with what's natural or not natural. 472 00:52:55,000 --> 00:53:10,000 But what is like comfortable easy you've done for a while you're used to and then 80% are brand new because you're filtering out all of that like you're filtering out all of the stuff now. 473 00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:13,000 So now you've only dialed in on the new stuff. 474 00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:21,000 And now you're just focused on the new when it when the with the 2 X mindset you're focused on the like old mostly. 475 00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:29,000 So that's like the 10 X 10 X and the 2 X mindset and I hope you guys can see why I'm so excited about this stuff. 476 00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,000 I'm so looking forward to this. 477 00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:35,000 I'm really looking forward to like learning about this stuff. 478 00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:41,000 And that's why foundation is extremely important because I'm taking action. 479 00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:46,000 So I'm like the way I see it is I'm pretty much guaranteed success. 480 00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,000 Like I'm guaranteed success. 481 00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:53,000 It's not a matter it's not a matter of whether I'm going to be successful or not. 482 00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:55,000 It's a matter of when will it happen. 483 00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:59,000 Like as long as I stay on this current path of podcasting every day. 484 00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:19,000 And just recently I added in posting three Tiktoks YouTube shorts like three Tiktoks every day to like kind of expand my reach and get more people to follow me and get a bigger audience and possibly get people to listen to the podcast more. 485 00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,000 As long as I keep doing this every day. 486 00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:22,000 I'm guaranteed success. 487 00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:25,000 So now that I have success in the bag. 488 00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:28,000 I'm guaranteed success just by these small things. 489 00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:38,000 Just focusing on these things since I don't know my path forward like they're all talking about building the linchpin model out through your business like building product service challenge webinar. 490 00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:41,000 Free webinar like all these things all these strategies for business. 491 00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,000 I'm not worried about them. 492 00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:46,000 I'm just focusing on one thing and that's what you guys need to do. 493 00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:47,000 You need to start taking action. 494 00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,000 I started taking action working on the podcast. 495 00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:53,000 I focus on one thing only podcast only podcast. 496 00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:56,000 And once I got positive feedback loop on my podcast. 497 00:54:56,000 --> 00:55:00,000 I went on to Tiktoks YouTube shorts all this stuff. 498 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:14,000 And again it took me 70 days to get to the YouTube shorts Tiktoks and I was recording for the first like week but then I realized I needed to just focus on podcast because you have to focus on one thing. 499 00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:20,000 And then once you're at the point where you know that you're guaranteed success it may take a year. 500 00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,000 It may take one week. 501 00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:23,000 I don't know. 502 00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:26,000 It took me personally like 70 days. 503 00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:41,000 I what I did have the mindset that I was guaranteed success but I didn't really believe it until recently when I got to funnel hacking life like now I believe it like I said earlier I had suspicions that podcasting every day was important and valuable. 504 00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:44,000 That's why I was doing it but I didn't know yet. 505 00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:47,000 And so fun like in life confirm my suspicions. 506 00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:55,000 I was hearing from people who are on the path just a couple years ahead of me and they're saying yes this is exactly they're shining light on the path ahead of me. 507 00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,000 They're saying this is exactly what you need to do. 508 00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:02,000 So that is why now I'm at the positive feedback loop. 509 00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:04,000 I'm pretty much guaranteed success. 510 00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:09,000 I'm only focusing business wise on podcasting and YouTube shorts. 511 00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:12,000 I'm only focusing on content creation. 512 00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:19,000 So now I have now I'm only focused now that I have all that guaranteed all that stuff push it to the side. 513 00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:23,000 I'm doing that anyways I'm doing that by default every single day. 514 00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:24,000 So now I can start. 515 00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:29,000 I have been doing this but now I can focus 100% on my foundation. 516 00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:41,000 I'm building up my business but now I'm going to focus on my foundation my mindset my worldview because that's how you explode your growth because you need to start. 517 00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:58,000 Destroying your worldview because you're okay your world you can actually tell how valuable your worldview is to you or you can actually tell how good your worldview is simply by taking a look at your life. 518 00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:06,000 If your life is crappy and you hate it well then you need to improve your worldview because your worldview is obviously terrible. 519 00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:12,000 But if your world is amazing then your worldview is going to be amazing as well. 520 00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:27,000 And fun fact the worldview actually starts and then causes the life but it takes a little while it's the mirror principle of Transurfing is it takes a little bit while to reflect back the worldview takes a delay there's delay. 521 00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:34,000 So fix your worldview and then your life will reflect that so that's why I'm focusing on my guarantees. 522 00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:38,000 I'm guaranteed success as long as I keep doing podcasting. 523 00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:45,000 So that's guaranteed I have a positive I have a positive feedback loop formed with podcasting I'm not going to stop. 524 00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:52,000 Now what I have to do is figure out how to improve my mindset which is what I've been doing for the past six months. 525 00:57:52,000 --> 00:58:03,000 I have to figure out how I can improve my mindset improve and learn and implement this 10x is easier than 2x learn and improve met this 10x mindset mentality. 526 00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:15,000 So I can explode my growth I hope you guys are getting what I'm saying because this is extremely important I really wish that I listened to this episode one year ago. 527 00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:24,000 I really wish that I had access to this episode because this is exactly how you be successful. 528 00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:28,000 This may sound motivational inspirational. 529 00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:35,000 No I'm telling you exactly what you do and I learned all this from the inspirational speakers. 530 00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:40,000 There's this amazing thing that in Transurfing is called being detached from the game. 531 00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:44,000 It's kind of being awake being consciously present. 532 00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:57,000 And so when I was listening to these speakers at times I was immersed I'll be honest and at other times I was awake and I was kind of looking at it from a wider lens and I was realizing like yeah these guys are exactly like you. 533 00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:10,000 If there's anything you take away from the entire fun life event it should be the concepts that the inspirational speakers talk about because those are the important things that actually get you forward. 534 00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:24,000 Those are the things that actually dramatically revolutionize the way you look at life and the way you experience life and as a result your life will be amazing. 535 00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:31,000 Man I still have 30 seconds left but that would have been an amazing way to just end the video. 536 00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:36,000 But as you guys can see I'm getting a lot better at this every single day. 537 00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:40,000 I'm only on episode 73 or 74. 538 00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:52,000 I'm only on episode 74 and I don't know how many people are listening to this but once I get actually really good like by the time people start listening I'll actually be way better. 539 00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:58,000 So if you guys want to keep following my
