80. We Are Being Shaped to Our Detriment

1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,080 You and I are constantly being shaped. Let me explain. So to explain this 2 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:16,160 statement I have to go way back to the beginning of when I started to discover 3 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:20,600 the truth. I read this book called Reality Transurfing two times and in it 4 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:26,240 there's a term called Pendulums. Pretty much Pendulums are kind of like an 5 00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:33,360 energetic structure that emerge when multiple people are, their thought 6 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:41,200 energy is aligned to the same thing. So if 500 people are thinking of a hamburger 7 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:46,720 at the same time then a new pendulum will emerge that will be a hamburger 8 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:55,680 pendulum. And then on its own it's not dangerous but it's dangerous once it 9 00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:01,080 starts to become destructive once enough people start thinking on that. Once it 10 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,560 gets enough adherence, pretty much people that are thinking on the same 11 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:12,320 wavelength, once it gets enough people under its control then it can actually 12 00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:18,240 form and become its own independent being. Instead of being dependent on those 13 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:25,640 500 people thinking of hamburgers it's actually its own... So let me explain 14 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:30,000 this. So there's 500 people thinking about a hamburger so then those 500 15 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,080 people while they're thinking of it are creating this pendulum. But then if they 16 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:40,080 all stop thinking about it the pendulum disappears. But if there's enough people 17 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:45,600 thinking like strong like giving it enough energy then the pendulum will 18 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:51,360 actually become its own structure and it will become its own independent being 19 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:58,240 and then it can actually go and grab more adherence and go and control 20 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:04,680 other people and pick up more followers essentially. And so one of the most 21 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:10,800 destructive... So all pendulums are destructive. Even the gym pendulum is a 22 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,840 pendulum. Like the gym is a pendulum and it is destructive. But that's not to say 23 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,360 that you can't benefit from pendulums. We live in a world of pendulums. 24 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:27,040 Everything is a pendulum. This this podcast is a pendulum. But pendulums can 25 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:35,920 still help you because it's pendulums that actually help us to 26 00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:44,880 achieve our goals. And since we live in a world of pendulums it's practically 27 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:50,520 impossible to escape pendulums. So you you have to figure out how to live with 28 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:55,200 them and actually you have to figure out the rules of the game. Essentially you 29 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,920 have to figure out how they work so you can exploit that and then use it to your 30 00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:07,120 advantage. So like I said in the beginning you and I are being conditioned. We 31 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:13,320 are being shaped. And it's because since there are a lot of pendulums out there 32 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:22,000 we are inevitably being controlled by a few. And it's actually a lot... It's actually 33 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:34,600 alright. I just had a brain fart sorry but school, the education system, the 34 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:41,840 American education system is an extremely destructive pendulum. And I say 35 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:48,960 that because all Americans are like Americans are born into this world and 36 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:55,080 then once they get to a certain age they get put into the system. And then they 37 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,920 have to go to kindergarten, first grade, second grade all the way through high 38 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:04,560 school. And then if they choose they can go to college. Like in my town the 39 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:09,560 majority of people go to college after high school. Like more than 90% I'm 40 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:19,200 pretty sure. So it's basically... And okay I've always known all my life that school 41 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:26,240 was bad or at least I didn't like like school. But I'm just starting to uncover 42 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:33,440 how destructive it is. And that's just from second-hand information. Not 43 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,040 second-hand information but it's information that's not even about school. 44 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,920 It's just I learned about transfer from I learned about pendulums and I 45 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:45,840 instantly realized that school is a pendulum. And one of the kind of 46 00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:52,280 attributes of a pendulum is that when you're its inherent it basically shapes 47 00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:58,360 your worldview and everything that you know, everything that you believe is 48 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:03,320 exactly what you're supposed to know is what you're supposed to believe 49 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:09,920 according to the pendulum. So if you haven't been taking charge of your life 50 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:14,520 like I just started taking charge of my life. I just started learning the rules 51 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:24,960 of the game seven months ago. But and so up until that point literally all of 52 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:31,160 that all everything that I knew wanted to know or like all my dreams goals 53 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:38,080 everything was influenced by the pendulum. Like they weren't my decisions, my 54 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:44,560 dreams, my feelings, thoughts. Pretty much your worldview is exactly as it 55 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:50,960 should. Your worldview is exactly what it should be according to the pendulum. 56 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:58,640 Like we're born into the school system and we're basically put through all 57 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:04,240 these classes that are slowly but surely destroying our souls. Literally just 58 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:10,360 destroying us and just training our brains to think in a certain way. And 59 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:16,480 this goes deep. And I've there is so many different pillars to this but I've 60 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:25,360 uncovered one recently that affects me and it affects everyone actually. But one 61 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:32,640 I'll get into it. It's the work week essentially. But school basically if you 62 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:39,880 if you've ever compared a I've never done this but I can have an idea of how it 63 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:44,320 would turn out because if you've ever compared a kindergarten class like 64 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,640 literally like five year olds so people that are just entering the school to 65 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:55,160 that same class like 12 years later once they get senior year. If you compare the 66 00:06:55,160 --> 00:07:02,600 two and like compare their lively what's livelihood if you compare their like 67 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:10,920 attitudes towards life their vi- virality, vitality, their just happiness, their 68 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:18,720 overall mood, like how much they want to live. Like you'll see a massive difference 69 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:24,400 and that's not on that's not on accident. Like all my life I was always 70 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,720 thinking like school's terrible when I grow up I'm gonna fix this. I'm gonna fix 71 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:35,120 this. Like this is stupid like like this is just a waste. But now I'm coming to 72 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,800 realize that it's like it's like society's perfect creation. It's 73 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:46,560 pendulum's perfect system. Like they're not gonna fix school. School is too 74 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:52,040 perfect to fix. Like there's nothing wrong to nothing wrong with school. Like 75 00:07:52,040 --> 00:08:00,040 it destroys everyone's like it destroys your humanity which shapes you into the 76 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:05,040 perfect worker. The perfect cog in the machine because all pendulums want are 77 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:11,320 you to be a cog in the machine. Like they they don't care for your individual 78 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:16,560 happiness, your individual life. Like they just want you to be a cog in the 79 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,720 machine. That's why the school system is so amazing because the majority of 80 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:25,440 people that get through this school system end up becoming a cog in the 81 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:30,520 machine end up working a nine to five job for 40 years. Like they're not working 82 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:36,200 for themselves. They're working for someone else. And that's why that and 83 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,160 that's why all these things that I'm learning about are so hidden. Like I'm 84 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:45,400 the only I'm like one of three people in my whole school probably that even know 85 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:53,480 of such things. Like no one knows about transurfing. No one knows that there's 86 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:58,840 more like no one knows that you can actually create your own reality. It's 87 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:05,800 because the pendulums have done such an amazing job such an effective job at 88 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:12,400 destroy not only destroying our ability to manage our own reality with our 89 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:19,840 thoughts but they also destroyed our even notions. They destroyed our 90 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:27,160 even very own knowledge about the fact that we can control. Like they made it 91 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:32,480 so we don't even know that we can control reality with our thoughts. Like if you go 92 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:40,960 up to a normal average person then and you ask like do you believe in like 93 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:47,720 manifestation or like do you think that your thoughts affect your reality? They're 94 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:54,400 not they're gonna think you're crazy because it's so outside of the general 95 00:09:54,400 --> 00:10:01,760 worldview like the standardized worldview. And that's on purpose like we're in 96 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:08,200 this whole system and it's our it's our person it's our responsibility to get 97 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,240 ourselves out. And that's what I'm doing like I'm reading 98 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:17,120 transurfing and learning entrepreneurship. I'm reading all these new books that I'm 99 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,280 about to start the ultimate reading list for human beings on the website the 100 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:25,120 most beautiful world. I'm starting on this but I told you guys that I was gonna 101 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,080 talk about one of the pillars that I uncovered. So there's many pillars that 102 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:35,800 I've uncovered about how the school system kind of screws you over. First of 103 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:43,840 all it like destroys your connection between the heart and the mind. Like I 104 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:51,480 when we're kids we are heart and mind are like are synchronized they're like 105 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:56,520 unified. They are always talking to each other they're unified in all their 106 00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:03,520 decisions. But slowly but surely the pendulum of school purposefully severs 107 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:08,640 that connection. And by the way the unification of the heart and the mind 108 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:16,240 is the most powerful like source of like the most powerful attribute that we have 109 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:22,560 as humans. Because the heart has access to the infinite knowledge in the heart 110 00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:25,720 has access to the alternative space which basically is everything that is 111 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:32,240 possible. Everything that is possible not possible. The heart has access to it but 112 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,600 the heart does not have willpower. The mind has willpower so if you unify them 113 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:44,480 you can have access to the infinite with willpower at your will. So that's why the 114 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:49,580 school system purposely severs that connection. But that's not what we're 115 00:11:49,580 --> 00:11:56,040 talking about right now. What I'm talking about is one of one one very simple 116 00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:03,880 thing that I became I actually became aware of this pillar that the school 117 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:09,240 system instills in us when I read a book called the four-hour work week. But I 118 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:15,120 didn't realize like the severity of it. So in the four-hour work week pretty much 119 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:21,280 he goes it's he tells you that it's possible to work a four-hour work week. 120 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:26,920 Like most people work a 45-hour work week I'm pretty sure 40-hour work week. But 121 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:32,520 it's possible to work four hours an entire week. Like on Monday you work four 122 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:37,320 hours and then you're off for the entire week. Tuesday through Sunday or your 123 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:45,000 rest days. Like that's possible that's what he said. And he probably said that 124 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:50,920 it's more efficient as well. But I I read that book extremely quick. Like it was a 125 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:57,880 it's a fairly large book and I read it extremely quick. So I didn't really I 126 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:07,640 didn't really treat it with as much concentration or kind of respect. Is that 127 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,760 the word? No it's not. I didn't really treat it with enough attention as I 128 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:17,160 should have because it's an amazing book but I didn't really give it too much 129 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:25,040 attention. Because I was focused on reading other books. But that was when I 130 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:30,400 was first introduced to like the four-hour work week. And that was when I 131 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:37,320 first realized that the basic standardized system that we have been 132 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:45,600 trained to work in 40 hours. Like school at school is from 8 to 3 on average. So 133 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:57,600 9, 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3. So that's like seven hours. So seven times five is 35. So 134 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:09,640 that okay that school instills a worldview and a piece of that worldview is 135 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:17,840 our work week. So school trains us to work Monday through Friday from like 8 136 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:24,080 to 3. That's kind of like the training. And then once we go to once we get 137 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:30,080 through school we go into a career and then where our expectation is a similar 138 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:37,640 thing. We work Monday through Friday 9 to 5. It's similar except it's five more 139 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:46,640 hours in the week. It's a similar structure. So let's just all agree that 140 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:55,720 the structure we have been taught to live for our work is we chunk our work 141 00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:04,600 from Monday through Friday like let's just say 9 to 5. So we work from 9 to 5 142 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:13,840 Monday through Friday. And then we get two rest days. But usually people don't 143 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,480 even take full advantage of those rest days. But whatever. Let's not even talk 144 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:24,920 about that right now. What I realize I'm reading I am almost done with 10x is 145 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:32,200 easier than 2x. A book by Dr. Benjamin Hardy and Dan Sullivan. And on like the 146 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:39,480 last one of the last chapters he talked about one of the most beneficial 147 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:46,480 chapters for me in that whole book at my current moment. And it's all about 148 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:54,640 structuring your work week or structuring your work. And pretty much 149 00:15:54,640 --> 00:16:01,800 he went on to say what I was just saying. How the standardized system of a 150 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:08,120 work week standardized work week is not effective. Instead what we should do is 151 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:15,320 follow a different structure. And what he does is what Dan Sullivan does is he 152 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:24,600 before the year even starts he goes through on his calendar and puts in 180 153 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:34,200 rest days. Like free days. 180 days he just goes in and puts them in and those 154 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:39,480 are all non-negotiable. Like he does not work at all for 180 days of the year. 155 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:48,680 That's like half of the year. So that's like every other week you have a break. 156 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:56,440 Like that is that's very wildly drastically different to the standardized 157 00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:02,800 system. And then he goes on to say that you should have three types of days. A 158 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:10,280 free day or a rest day. Okay a rest day is what he called it. Just a rest day. A 159 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:14,920 buffer day which is kind of like a preparation day where you prepare for 160 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:24,080 your third type of day which is a focus day. So on rest days your only 161 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:30,200 task is to rest. You 100% let go of work. Do not think about it. Do not work. Do 162 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:36,280 not do any work. Don't even think about it at all. And the thought process behind 163 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:44,280 it is however far however deep you can go into the zone. Like into the flow state 164 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:54,240 during your work is the same as however far you can let go when you're on your 165 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:58,840 rest day. Like however much you can let go is however much you can go into the 166 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:07,640 flow state if that makes any sense. So there's like I said there's a rest day, 167 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:17,080 a buffer day, and a focus day. On focus days your only job is to work. And what 168 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:27,400 you're supposed to do is only work on your 20%. And your 20% is the actions or 169 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:32,960 job that will actually push you forward into a 10x transformation. Like a 170 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:43,400 transformation in your skills, your value, all of that. So you work on that 20% 171 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:51,240 because 80% of our tasks generally 80% of our tasks on a day-to-day are keeping 172 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:57,800 us in our same spot and only 20% of our tasks are helping us evolve. So you 173 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:06,120 focus only on the 20%. So for me right now the 20% would be podcasting. And then 174 00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:14,560 on buffer days you just prepare. So this three-day model he found inspiration 175 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:19,400 from acting like the acting business. They would have a similar three-day model 176 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:25,760 where they would have a rest day, a practice day, and then a acting day. I 177 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:31,440 don't know the exact words. I forgot what the words were or the names. But it 178 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,680 was basically on a rest day they just completely let go. They don't do anything 179 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,880 about acting. And this is in like the show business. Like acting for movies or 180 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:49,360 plays, like actors, like entertainers. And these guys 100% let go of their work on 181 00:19:49,360 --> 00:19:55,280 rest days. Extremely important. Like it's so important that he had three parts 182 00:19:55,280 --> 00:20:01,880 or four parts. I don't remember three or four parts in his chapter dedicated to 183 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:08,240 rest days. Like and he it's so important that he puts in the rest days in his 184 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:15,640 calendar before anything else. And then the second thing that actors do is they 185 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:26,600 prepare. They practice for the show. And then the last thing is they actually 186 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:33,720 perform. And then since they're rested and they've practiced for it, they're 187 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:41,000 highly optimized for that particular event. And then when they 188 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,960 follow the same process they'll get better and better and better. And then 189 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:48,200 their unique value that they can provide gets stronger and stronger and more 190 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:55,360 refined to the point where they're actually become so much more valuable. And 191 00:20:55,360 --> 00:21:00,200 people pay them way more for the same amount of work. That's all about the 192 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:08,680 three day framework. So the second I read like the second I learned about that, 193 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,600 like I hadn't even finished the chapter yet. But the second I learned about the 194 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:18,840 three day framework, I instantly realized that I was doing it all wrong. I've been 195 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:25,200 recording every day on my podcast. Now let me give some context. Ever since I 196 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,680 started reading the 10x's easier than 2x book, I realized that there's 197 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,880 something up with my podcast. Like I know that I'm focusing on quantity over 198 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:37,320 quality and I know that I need to focus on quality but I'm not sure how. And I 199 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:41,640 had a few ideas like I needed to script or not necessarily script but I 200 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:49,640 needed to have bullet points that I talk about that can fill up the entire 201 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:57,640 show or the entire episode. And I just couldn't figure out how to make it work. 202 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:04,320 And then there's just a lot I just realized that my podcast is not as 203 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:08,800 optimal as it should be. So what I ended up doing was I just kept on reading 204 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:15,720 because I know that the more you read, the more refined your like the more you 205 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:22,160 read, the more you'll be aware or the more you'll realize what the next path, 206 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:33,280 what the next step is. Like the more... what's the word? The like the more evident 207 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:38,080 the next step is for you. So I just decided to keep on reading the book and 208 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:43,640 then the second I learned about the three-day framework, rest days, buffer 209 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:49,480 days, and focus days, I instantly knew that I needed to change up my schedule 210 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:54,160 because I've been recording every single day. I just record every day. But I don't 211 00:22:54,160 --> 00:23:00,720 have any rest days which is bad because when there's two types of time he said 212 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:12,060 according to the ancient or the Greek word Kronos. There's two words, two 213 00:23:12,060 --> 00:23:20,840 Greek words of time, Kronos and then Kyros. Kronos is basically time is static 214 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:26,880 or not static but time moves the same speed for everyone and it's consistent. 215 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:33,080 But Kyros is like the most optimal type of time. That's when you're well rested 216 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:39,800 and you're working in your 20%. Kyros is when you're in the flow state and so the 217 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:45,080 more Kyros time you spend, the more you'll evolve, the more you'll 218 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:50,960 transform which is why you can evolve more in one year than most evolve in one 219 00:23:50,960 --> 00:24:02,200 decade. And the school system, the standardized work week is optimized 220 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:06,520 to keep you in Kronos time because remember, pendulums don't benefit from 221 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:12,480 you being at your most optimal. Pendulums don't benefit from you going your own 222 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:18,680 way for you succeeding and you being great. They benefit from you being stuck 223 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:25,040 and becoming a cog in the machine. So that's why the standardized work 224 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:29,560 week is optimized for Kronos time and you don't want to be in Kronos time. 225 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:38,720 You want to be in Kyros time which is why you should follow the three day 226 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:53,840 framework. But there's one thing. I like having a big cushion of episodes so 227 00:24:53,840 --> 00:25:00,720 that's why I'm going to continue posting daily and I'm gonna try my best to stay 228 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:06,360 to maintain this new schedule. So like I said, I instantly came to the 229 00:25:06,360 --> 00:25:12,120 realization of what I should do and I got out my notebook once I realized this 230 00:25:12,120 --> 00:25:17,960 three day schedule and I started like sketching out different possible work 231 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:23,480 weeks for me. I sketched out like one day on, one day off, one day on and then on 232 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,800 the one day on since I have to post, since I post every day I'd have to do 233 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:33,720 double episodes on the one day on to kind of maintain the one rest day. And then 234 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:39,200 I tried like I tried the mapping out many different solutions, possible 235 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:44,520 solutions using these buffer days, rest days and focus days. And the solution 236 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:53,600 that it came to was Monday's a rest day, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday are all 237 00:25:53,600 --> 00:26:01,680 buffer days. So they're all preparation days. And then Friday is a rest day and 238 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:08,920 then Saturday, Sunday are focus days. So let me go through this framework. Monday's 239 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:16,080 a rest day. I do absolutely nothing on Monday related to work. Tuesday, Wednesday 240 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:26,640 and Thursday I have three days to plan out seven episodes. So on Monday or on 241 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:33,920 Tuesday I'll do three episodes. On Tuesday and Wednesday I'll do two episodes each. 242 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:41,280 And then Friday's a rest day. I do nothing. Just rest up. Because then on 243 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:46,160 Saturday and Sunday on the weekend when I don't have, when I don't have school I 244 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:53,200 spend the entire day literally recording. On Saturday I'm gonna have, I'm gonna 245 00:26:53,200 --> 00:27:00,240 record four episodes and Sunday I'll record three episodes. So I'm gonna be 246 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:05,720 recording for four hours on Saturday and three hours on Sunday. So that's kind of 247 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:15,960 my structure for following this new plan. And to make this work because I want to 248 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:24,160 tell you guys about one thing. I like having a cushion of seven days uploaded 249 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:31,080 videos. Let me explain. I like having seven episodes scheduled ahead of time so I 250 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:38,400 don't feel the need to record. There's one issue with feeling the need to record. 251 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:45,520 You don't want to. And when you're living in need then you're in a scarcity 252 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:50,080 mindset. But when you're living in want you're in an abundance mindset. So my 253 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:56,520 friend, he was recording his podcast and he spent probably a few weeks and he 254 00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:02,040 would always record one day and then schedule it for the next day. And he 255 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:07,680 would have to record every single day. And he had no cushion. So if he missed a 256 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:14,040 day he missed a day of posting. That's one issue. And another issue is he has to 257 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:19,500 record every day. Like it's a necessity now. But for me since I have a 258 00:28:19,500 --> 00:28:24,840 seven episode cushion if I miss a day it's okay. I can just catch up the next 259 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:32,360 day. And now I don't need to record every day. I can take a rest day any day I 260 00:28:32,360 --> 00:28:38,160 want. So now it becomes a want. Now I just want to record every day. And that's 261 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:42,000 what I do. And it works out perfectly because I end up recording every single 262 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:51,000 day. So that's why I want to maintain my current schedule of recording every 263 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:56,760 single day. But this week on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday I'm going to also 264 00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:04,720 spend a lot of time kind of trying to script out seven episodes. Which is gonna 265 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:13,240 be tough because I'm gonna I'm in school right now as well as I'm at 266 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:18,560 school. I'm still a student and I'm also recording one hour a day and going to the 267 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:23,400 gym. So it's gonna be tough to find the time but I'll figure it out. So I'm gonna 268 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,480 script out seven episodes on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. And then I'm gonna 269 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:34,840 just maintain my current recording one hour a day. And then on Saturday and 270 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:45,800 Sunday I'm gonna do the four and three. I'm gonna try. But this may all go to 271 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:54,560 crap. And I may end up like stopping like not doing this until I graduate. 272 00:29:54,560 --> 00:30:05,480 Because it is a big workload to to do all this as well as record daily. But I'd 273 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,320 only have to do it one week because then the next week I'll have that seven 274 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:15,840 episode cushion plus another seven. So I'll have 14 episodes scheduled by that 275 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:23,600 Sunday. So then I can just not record at all the next week. And then I can 276 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:32,800 actually follow my kind of work week. So it's it would just take one week of me 277 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:39,960 like putting in the focus. So I don't know how I don't know what how it's gonna 278 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,880 turn out. But that's what I plan on doing. I may end up scrapping it until I 279 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:49,240 graduate in two months. I don't know we'll see. But that's kind of what I 280 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:55,760 realized that that will improve my quality so much. Because on Saturday would 281 00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:01,720 be my busiest day. I would record four hours on Saturday for episodes. And I've 282 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:07,880 done two episodes. I've recorded two episodes in one day before. On my a lot 283 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:12,960 of my Transurfing Principles episodes I've recorded back-to-back episodes on 284 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:21,720 those days. And so I know what it feels like to record back-to-back. And as a 285 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:28,640 result towards the end of the Transurfing Principles series I've added in a 286 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:33,680 meditation in between the two recordings. So that kind of cleared my mind and made 287 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:40,120 it fresh again for the next recording. So my plan is on Saturday during my 288 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:48,600 recording day. I'm going to be doing my morning routine reading through all of my 289 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:54,800 notes. Or just reading something to kind of get my brain simulated in my morning 290 00:31:54,800 --> 00:32:04,360 because I usually read from like six to seven. And then I'm going to... I haven't 291 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:10,080 figured out the actual like timings. But pretty much I'm gonna record, meditate. 292 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:21,480 Record, meditate. Record, meditate, record. That's four. So I'm gonna meditate in 293 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:25,640 between all them. And each of these meditations are gonna be 30 minutes long. 294 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:38,280 So record, meditate. Record, meditate. Record, meditate. Record. So that's three, 295 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:43,000 four. That's four recordings. So that's four hours plus three meditations, which 296 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:59,280 is 45 times three. So that's 90 plus 135. Wait, 45 is 90. That's like two hours 297 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:04,480 or 15. So that's like six hours and 15 minutes. I'd have to allot to this. So I'd 298 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:11,000 have to start at like... So I want to finish at 4.30. Wow. So I'd have to start at 299 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:18,400 like 10 o'clock. So I'd have to eat lunch right before. Yeah, that would 300 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:23,280 be a whole day of recording. That would be crazy. I mean, I'd make it work though. 301 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:28,920 I'd see how it works out because if I'm fried by the end of the day, then I'm 302 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:33,680 not gonna do it again. But because that's obviously not optimal. I'd restructure 303 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:39,560 my week to figure out a more optimal day. Because maybe three is the most optimal. 304 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:48,400 Maybe not four. I don't know. But six and a half hours is what I would need to 305 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:53,920 record four episodes because I want to meditate in between. I think it's possible. 306 00:33:53,920 --> 00:34:02,760 And that's why reading is so valuable. There was a time back when I was first 307 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:07,400 getting into business when I was kind of... I was just not doing anything. I'm 308 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:12,040 pretty sure I was only podcasting. And I remember telling my friend I was like, 309 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:18,360 I'm addicted to reading. I'm just reading and reading and reading. I feel like I 310 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:24,320 think I'm a watchpreneur because I am only reading and I'm not really taking 311 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:32,440 any action. And so I said that I'm not gonna read any book until I get 312 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:41,440 ten leads. And that was back when I was making a lead magnet for a funnel 313 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:46,200 which basically it's a website that captures people's email addresses and I 314 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:53,680 give them a free item as a result. And in my case it was a mere free guidebook. 315 00:34:53,680 --> 00:35:00,280 And so I worked on it and I was like, no screw this. And then I went back to 316 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:06,480 reading because I realized that the more and more you read, the more and more 317 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:11,080 you'll see it, the more and more the next path, the next step will become 318 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:19,800 evident. I remember when I was first planning on making money online. I knew 319 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:26,160 I wanted to make money online, make my business online. So as a result, this was 320 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:33,360 like around a year ago. Actually, I was probably around a year ago. It's after I 321 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:40,240 read The Millionaire Fast Lane and Unscripted by MJ DeMarco. I knew I wanted 322 00:35:40,240 --> 00:35:43,880 to make money online so I was like, okay I gotta learn how to code. Gotta learn how 323 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:48,760 to program, learn how to build a website. So I actually spent a decent amount of 324 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:53,040 time learning how to build a website and I actually learned how to make a 325 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:59,840 functional website. I didn't know how to make it look amazing but I could make 326 00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:05,960 websites. And I spent like all of my winter break, Christmas break last year, 327 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:15,640 just locked into my room, learning how to code. And then after, I kind of realized 328 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:21,000 that that's first I just kind of got done with it. I didn't want to do it 329 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:27,120 anymore. So I just kind of stopped and I kind of, I just focused more on reading. 330 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:35,640 And then I discovered a book called Dotcom Secrets and I read it and I was 331 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:39,800 instantly grateful that I didn't waste all that time learning how to code 332 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,720 because you don't need to know how to code if you want to build a website. All 333 00:36:43,720 --> 00:36:48,640 you have to know is how to structure the website optimally, what to say on the 334 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:54,920 website and there's software that you can use to build a website for you. So 335 00:36:54,920 --> 00:37:02,400 that is why, that is evidence that reading shows the next step for it 336 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:07,960 evidently because I was able to completely drop the coding thing and just 337 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,320 focused on learning how to structure the website, learning what to say on the 338 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:15,400 website, like what copy to use, which is basically the words on the sales 339 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:23,360 page. And then when I read expert secrets, I like, okay, so when I was reading 340 00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,620 Dotcom Secrets, I was focusing on building funnels, building like these 341 00:37:26,620 --> 00:37:33,720 websites and learning how to make them good. And I actually had a few go live. I 342 00:37:33,720 --> 00:37:40,480 canceled the account, but to this day as a recording, it is still like the website 343 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:47,560 is still live, but they can can shut it down anytime and it's been well over 344 00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:51,960 30 days when they were supposed to shut it down, but they haven't yet. So if it's 345 00:37:51,960 --> 00:38:00,760 not there, don't be disappointed, but on go to ascendmomentum.com or no, I think 346 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:06,120 it's self-improvementguidebook.com. It's either, yeah, 347 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:13,960 self-improvementguidebook.com slash get now. And that will, that's like one of my 348 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:18,920 funnels. And my funnel hub is ascendmomentum.com or self-improvementguidebook.com. 349 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,000 I don't remember, I don't remember. Just go to try those if you're interested in 350 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:26,320 seeing like what I was doing. And then once I've read expert secrets, it 351 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:30,960 immediately became evident that I needed to just focus on my podcast, focus on 352 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:36,120 recording a podcast. So I started the podcast and then that's all that I've 353 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:43,360 been doing since. And then went to Funnel Hacking Live expecting to, expecting to go 354 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:48,680 back to making funnels because that's what, that's Funnel Hacking Live is all 355 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:53,560 about funnels, right? That's what I thought. But I realized that I'm on the 356 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:58,520 right path forward. Like I'm on the right path forward and just continue building 357 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:04,640 my show, building the audience. Except I did learn one more thing because back 358 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:08,800 when I was starting to podcast, I was also making TikToks as well, but I never 359 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:13,760 posted them. One, because I was too scared. And then I stopped after like six days 360 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:17,480 because I wasn't posting them. So I was like, might as well just stop. And then it 361 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:23,360 was also because I didn't want to add too much to my plate and I wanted to build 362 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:28,880 the positive feedback loop for podcasting. So I stopped the TikToks, but Funnel 363 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:35,120 Hacking Live, I learned to start the TikToks again. So as a result, I started 364 00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:45,720 recording three TikToks after every single podcast that one each TikTok is a 365 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:51,680 one lesson learned in that I talked about in the podcast. So in every single 366 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:55,880 podcast, I have a daily lessons like today's lessons in the description. And 367 00:39:55,880 --> 00:40:00,560 there's just three lessons. And so I just make that into three 368 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:08,960 shorts. And I post those onto YouTube, Shorts, and TikTok. And I've only 369 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:15,240 posted like five, I think so far. Or actually, no, I've posted, as of now, I've 370 00:40:15,240 --> 00:40:24,120 posted a few like over, like over seven, maybe around seven. But yesterday, I 371 00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:28,360 checked yesterday, and I only had like five posts because I have them scheduled. 372 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:35,560 And I had like 250 views on two of them. So that was awesome. Because my first 373 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:42,080 like three got like 50 views, 10 views. And then I just had two that got 250 374 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:47,320 views. And like a bunch of likes, like seven likes, I think, and not much. But 375 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:53,960 it just goes to show that this will help a lot because I'm not promoting the 376 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:59,600 podcast directly. But the whole reason I'm making the TikTok is to promote 377 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,760 my podcast. So let me explain. In the videos, I simply just provide value, I 378 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:10,920 just give content. And then if they are like, if they want to follow me, they 379 00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:18,440 follow and they go to my profile. And then they see in my bio, I have right 380 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:23,720 now my current bio is like student podcast, and then it's a link to my link 381 00:41:23,720 --> 00:41:28,760 tree. And so they see that I have a podcast. So they're like, Oh, and then 382 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:36,520 they go to my link tree. And then they'll see my podcast, and they'll hopefully 383 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:43,840 listen. And that's my plan of gaining organic traffic to my podcast. So we'll 384 00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:48,280 see how it works out. So far, I haven't had any new listeners onto my podcast, 385 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:53,520 but I have only been posting for like three days, but I have like a bunch 386 00:41:53,520 --> 00:42:00,400 scheduled for the next like four days. So that's huge. And that's all about 387 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:08,520 just keep on, keep on growing, keep on building more. But I'm glad that I'm 388 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:12,840 reading this 10x is easy to x, I'm actually on the conclusion of the book. So 389 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:19,040 I'm basically done. I'd probably have like 10 pages left. And the next book 390 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:25,800 that I'm going to read, I'm gonna finish it by tomorrow or tomorrow Sunday. So 391 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:34,320 I'll finish it by tomorrow or Monday, because it's only like 180 pages long. So 392 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:39,800 I'll finish in like two days, three days, maybe. And then I'll dive straight into 393 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:48,880 the seven books that I got. And I'm gonna read them all at once. And the seven 394 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:55,000 books are dancing after the music stops, die wise, come of age, assent on 395 00:42:55,000 --> 00:43:03,000 humanity, toof the priestess, the Egypt code and journeys out of the body. Those 396 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:09,560 are the seven books I'm going to read next. And I think that it's gonna be 397 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:17,560 extremely beneficial for me and this podcast. Because there's one thing that 398 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:23,760 I learned. I was researching how to become a better podcaster. And this is 399 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:29,240 something that I was kind of knowledgeable about. But it would now 400 00:43:29,240 --> 00:43:34,760 I'm conscious of, they said, do your homework, like make sure you're well. You 401 00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:40,800 understand the subject well. So it was evident when I was reading Transurfing 402 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:44,760 the second time through, because I was studying it and I understood it very 403 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,960 well. It's the point where I was able to speak about it for literally hours. And 404 00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:53,160 those were probably my best episodes. And that was because I read it. That was 405 00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:56,920 my second time through and I was studying it at the time. So I was at peak 406 00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:03,000 knowledge, understanding, peak understanding, so I was able to translate that 407 00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:08,840 into better content. However, when I started reading 10x's easier than 2x, 408 00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:14,240 since it's a brand new book for me, I've never heard of the concept before. I 409 00:44:14,240 --> 00:44:20,280 don't understand it as well, because I haven't studied it yet. So my content 410 00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:25,520 kind of like faltered a little there. So that's why I'm really excited to learn 411 00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:32,880 to get these seven books, because these all, I feel like these will radically 412 00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:39,320 shift my worldview again, as well as what Transurfing did. Because the way they 413 00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:43,920 speak in like the descriptions of the book and the way Gene Pascal Rehmann 414 00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:51,360 described them were very interesting. Like I didn't really understand it, but I 415 00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,960 kind of understood it. And I could tell that it was kind of, it was gonna be a 416 00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:59,800 worldview shifter. So that's why I'm really excited to talk about that in the 417 00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:24,360 show. And yeah, let me get some water. So I want to talk about this thing I've been 418 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:28,480 talking about over the past couple days, dropping out of high school. So right now 419 00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:32,120 I'm a part-time student. I only have four periods in the day. So I get to school at 420 00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:40,000 8 a.m. I leave at like, depending on the day, 11, 35, and some days it's 421 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:50,280 12, 11. Some days it's 11, 43. So anywhere between 11, 35, and 12, 11. So I'm only 422 00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:56,000 spending like four hours at school every day. And I'm a, I'm a, I have a half 423 00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:02,520 year as well. So I graduate in December after first semester. And it's October, or 424 00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:08,680 no, it's November. Yeah, it's October right now. So I only have two months left, 425 00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:18,720 basically, until I graduate. And so, but I'm kind of in this situation where I want 426 00:46:18,720 --> 00:46:27,280 to drop out. There's a lot behind it. But I think that I kind of came to this 427 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:34,160 realization that I'm in this stage where I'm like, I'm open to the possibility of 428 00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:40,120 dropping out and I want to. But it's also like something's holding me back. And I'm 429 00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:45,960 kind of like on the fence right now. So I came, I came to the realization that I 430 00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:52,600 just have to make a decision and stick to it because it is taking up way more 431 00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:58,040 energy, just like going to school, dreading it because I don't want to be 432 00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:04,480 there. So the decision I made is to just stick out, stick it out, and finish 433 00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:12,600 high school. And then, and then I'll be able to just get out in two months 434 00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:21,840 anyways. And the reasoning is I don't want to like be split minded. I just want to, I 435 00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:31,040 don't want to be kind of paralyzed by indecision. So I'm just focusing on staying 436 00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:43,040 in school. And I like my original plan for over summer when I was planning out, 437 00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:49,320 like I was actually, I had this kind of desire to drop out. But then I realized 438 00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:54,200 that I could become a part time student and have a half year like graduate early. 439 00:47:54,200 --> 00:48:00,320 So I decided that it would actually be beneficial to go to school because then I 440 00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:04,760 could practice staying awake. Yeah, I'm beyond that. I don't care about that 441 00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:08,800 stuff anymore. I just want to get out of school. And one of the strategies that I 442 00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:13,000 was going to use in the beginning of the year was I can just completely just 443 00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:20,000 finish all of my work indifferently, get my A, and then just lock in on my stuff 444 00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:25,120 during school. Like finish my work really quick and then lock in on the stuff I 445 00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:29,840 actually want to do. So like read a book. So that's kind of what I think I'm going 446 00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:37,600 to do because I've like I'm a straight A student basically. I only have one B right 447 00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:42,920 now and that's going to go up soon. But last year I was a straight A student and 448 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:48,920 it's so easy. All you have to do is just finish all your work and then go on with 449 00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:55,280 your day and be nice to teachers. So that's literally what I do. And then that's 450 00:48:55,280 --> 00:49:02,160 what I realized that I got to just lock in. Don't give any attention to school. 451 00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:06,560 Just finish the work very quickly. And lately I've actually been like being 452 00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:10,880 extremely sloppy with my work, especially in this sports lit class where my 453 00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:14,360 teacher gives us a hundred. He actually said, I'll give you a hundred percent as 454 00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:21,560 long as you actually do it. So I just do it stupidly. Just rush through it and 455 00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:28,680 finish it as quick as possible and then get my A and then go on with what I 456 00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:33,520 actually want to learn about in that day. Like I usually bring a book or bring 457 00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:40,080 something to read and that's what I do. So I'm not going to drop out. I'm just 458 00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:46,080 going to push it through and then I'll have so much time second semester because 459 00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:51,540 first semester is the quick semester. I remember last year in my gym class I took 460 00:49:51,540 --> 00:49:55,800 the same gym class adventure at first and second semester and during second 461 00:49:55,800 --> 00:50:02,040 semester my teacher was saying that first semester is so much shorter, like a few 462 00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:08,680 weeks shorter than second. And I could tell because last year I was like sitting 463 00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:16,440 through second semester and it was like long. It was so long. So what I did or 464 00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:23,920 what my mindset now is this year is going to go by quick. Like I just all I have to 465 00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:30,120 do and I'm already halfway done like second quarter. Quarter two of semester 466 00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:36,800 one starts next week. So I'm already done with I'm halfway done with my year. 467 00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:42,440 So I just have to follow this same strategy and just push through. And since 468 00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:47,880 I've already I already have great grades I can kind of just like slack off a 469 00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:57,880 little bit and then maintain like my A's and I'm free. And then I have all of 470 00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:03,560 second semester freed up. Like I was gonna have to go to school all year long 471 00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:12,880 but I saved all of that time second semester. So now I basically have January, 472 00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:24,000 February, March, April, May, five months of indenture time instantly abolished, 473 00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:38,400 instantly freed. Five months. Summer break was June, July and half of August. 474 00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:46,000 Less than half of August. So summer break was like two months and I grew so much. 475 00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:51,800 And I have five months free second semester. Imagine how much I'm gonna 476 00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:58,320 grow because I am learning about so much more. And the way self-improvement 477 00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:04,920 works is your growth is exponential. My first like when I first got into reading 478 00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:10,160 and the first like real self-improvement stuff that I was doing when I first got 479 00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:15,800 into reading I was growing like fast. But then once I got into Transurfing I was 480 00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:21,780 growing but faster. And then over summer break I was growing so fast and right 481 00:52:21,780 --> 00:52:24,720 now I think I'm growing so fast it's hard to tell because I'm in the moment of it. 482 00:52:24,720 --> 00:52:30,760 It's easier to look back in hindsight. And so your growth looks like this. It looks 483 00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:35,400 like a line but it's exponential. It looks like an exponential graph for your 484 00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:41,000 growth rate. You grow pretty fast when you first start and then you grow faster 485 00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:48,800 and faster and faster. Like your level of growth is so fast. And so I'm used to 486 00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:54,600 having two months to just grow as fast as possible in two months for summer. 487 00:52:54,600 --> 00:53:00,080 And that's a lot of time to grow. Like if you lock in for one summer break you 488 00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:07,840 can grow so much. And I'm gonna get an entire semester free to five months. 489 00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:15,080 Plus I was gonna have the summer anyways. I have I know I knew I wasn't gonna go to 490 00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:18,880 college for quite some time so I was gonna have the college freed up also. 491 00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:26,000 But I basically have seven months including the two months of actually some 492 00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:32,120 college is starting September. So I was gonna have January February March April 493 00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:44,080 May June July August September. Is that nine months? Nine months. Yeah I've only 494 00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:51,480 been at this business for this is episode 80. I've only been doing this for 495 00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:59,280 less than three months and I'm gonna have nine months freed up in two months. 496 00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:07,200 So in two months I have nine months. So basically I have 11 months. Guys this 497 00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:13,080 shows the importance of time. You need to figure out how to free up your time. I 498 00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:18,440 was telling my friend George he is one year younger than me and he's pursuing 499 00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:23,280 acting and he knows that school is not helping him at all. He knows he does not 500 00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:26,880 want to go to college but he's on the path to go to college right now because 501 00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:35,000 his parents are expecting him which is similar to me. His community was expecting 502 00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:40,920 him too. Like everything was aligned for him to go the standardized route but he 503 00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:47,680 knows he's destined for more and what I was telling him was you need to play the 504 00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:52,480 part right now externally but internally you need to be building yourself up. 505 00:54:52,480 --> 00:55:00,360 What I recommended him to do was him continue just externally say yes I'm 506 00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:05,600 going to college and then what I did was I created a list. I created two colleges 507 00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:09,400 potential colleges that I wanted to go to. I wanted and I say that with bunny 508 00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:17,000 ears and it was UIC and Triton. Just two colleges that were close to me and 509 00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:21,200 those that's just what I said I'm going to UIC. I'm going to UIC. That's where I 510 00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:26,360 want to go but and then you have to just build up all of your internal knowledge 511 00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:31,440 and you have to wait for the moment to strike but you have to slowly let your 512 00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:37,520 parents know like once I read unscripted last year I was like I told my mom yeah 513 00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:41,880 I know I'm not going to college so I forewarned her I was not going to college 514 00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:47,480 and that was a long time so it gave my parents time to kind of just adjust to 515 00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:52,080 that and then like slowly but surely I started to make my moves I started to 516 00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:57,240 say yeah I don't I don't want to go to school anymore I don't like school 517 00:55:57,240 --> 00:56:04,720 anymore slowly start to get them to adjust to your frequency and then it's 518 00:56:04,720 --> 00:56:11,680 your time to pounce my time to pounce was right before school started I kind of 519 00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:18,760 just made it well known to my parents that I wanted to graduate early as well 520 00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:25,240 as become a part-time student and have a half day so then I like it took them a 521 00:56:25,240 --> 00:56:29,080 decent amount of convincing I had to like talk to them for literally like three 522 00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:35,200 days straight to actually convince them and then one day I was out there talking 523 00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:40,160 for like multiple hours but eventually I was convinced I convinced them and then 524 00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:44,840 I had to go in to my counselor and actually make my move and strike make my 525 00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:51,960 strike went in stood my ground I was like this is what I want I'm not going 526 00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:57,560 to college she said no initially and I was like is there any way to do it who 527 00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:06,360 do I need to talk to she made a joke she was like talk to the Illinois like talk 528 00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:11,520 to the state of Illinois I was like okay give me their number and then she was 529 00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:16,360 like no this is ridiculous and then she said well you can schedule meeting with 530 00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:20,400 so-and-so and so we literally just walked over to her office right then and 531 00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:26,040 there and go went to talk to her got her approval and I was just able to get 532 00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:30,360 things done because I knew how important it was to save all this time because 533 00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:37,640 every period that I knocked off of my schedule I saved 250 hours over the 534 00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:44,240 course of a semester 250 hours that is an insane amount I used to play video 535 00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:48,400 games and on those video games they would track the hours you played once you 536 00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:55,560 reached 250 hours you were very good at that game so imagine vesting that into 537 00:57:55,560 --> 00:58:05,160 yourself your business or books that is insane like that is amazing so that's 538 00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:11,200 like I made my I struck I made my move graduating early came apart time soon I 539 00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:16,200 instantly freed up half of my first semester and my entire second semester 540 00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:21,120 and before that I made my move that I wasn't going to college so I freed up 541 00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:28,480 four years my life and I want to talk about what this guy that I met on the 542 00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:35,160 first day at funnecking live Gary he's like probably 50 or 60 years old and he 543 00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:40,600 is a very successful business owner and he basically said I asked him what do 544 00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:45,440 you think or I don't even know what I asked him but he was basically saying to 545 00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:49,720 me and my friend Franklin he was saying like you guys are young man you guys are 546 00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:54,720 young your parents will like provide for you for years like take advantage of that 547 00:58:54,720 --> 00:59:00,680 and never work for anyone else just work for yourself hustle and take advantage 548 00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:08,640 of them taking care of you and just focus on your business it will pay off it 549 00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:13,560 will pay off and if you just focus on your business because right now is the 550 00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:21,960 best time to do it because you have people taking care of you so use it so I 551 00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:26,440 get rid of the four years of college get rid of half of a year in high school 552 00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:32,720 and then half of the semester that's all about time save your time if you guys 553 00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:36,560 are in a situation where you think you may want to do this in the future go to 554 00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:42,120 your counselor at school and arrange your schedule to get rid of just finish 555 00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:48,080 all of your required classes like if I was a sophomore or a junior I would 556 00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:52,560 arrange my set schedule for the next semester to just focus on the required 557 00:59:52,560 --> 01:00:00,000 classes because I am extremely grateful that I had just three required classes 558 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:06,880 left I just had two English classes and a gym now is it like that's all I had 559 01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:14,760 left I'm extremely grateful for that and if I were to go back I would graduate in 560 01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:21,520 junior year but that's like I'm so grateful that I set up my record my I 561 01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:28,800 finished all my recs but that's a huge lesson for you guys but to wrap things 562 01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:32,800 up don't forget to download favorite episodes and
