Everyone Has Off Days

This episode is not that great... Today was an off day for me and it just goes to show how it is ok to have an off day.

Transcript
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,760
So the big question is this, how do young men like us, who didn't listen to society,

2
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:15,560
who are on our own, how do we grow and improve ourselves so that we can look better tomorrow?

3
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:21,040
That is the question and this show will give you the answers.

4
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:35,800
My name is James Radzinski and welcome to the Ascend Momentum Show.

5
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:44,680
So these past couple days have been very good lessons, or not even the past couple days,

6
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:45,680
today.

7
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:53,640
Yesterday, I... no, yeah, past couple days, yesterday and today.

8
00:00:53,640 --> 00:01:04,480
So even over the past like four or five days, I've kind of been...

9
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:16,120
I was talking about how on my...

10
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:21,080
Oh my gosh, I'm so tired right now.

11
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:28,040
I just want you guys to know that today is a bad day, or not a bad day, but today is

12
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,040
just an off day for me.

13
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,800
I'm not really feeling it.

14
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,480
I'm like...

15
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,280
I've been down all day and I've been tired.

16
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,480
I didn't really get much done today.

17
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:53,980
I just did my normal routine and I emailed my counselor to drop the rest of my classes,

18
00:01:53,980 --> 00:02:06,100
so I'll be able to have all my classes...

19
00:02:06,100 --> 00:02:12,440
I'll be able to only take required classes.

20
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:22,640
I feel bad for uploading this episode, but hopefully you guys can see that it's okay

21
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:27,600
to have off days and today is definitely an off day, but I just know that as long as I

22
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:33,560
keep moving forward, keep putting one step in front of the other, one foot forward and

23
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:41,400
over the other, I'll just keep making progress and I'll keep going forward.

24
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:47,400
So a lot of people, when they have an off day, they just give up.

25
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:59,640
I'm just taking today easy, getting back to it tomorrow, and I'm gonna actually not go

26
00:02:59,640 --> 00:03:08,080
to the gym every day anymore because I want to focus more on business and studying and

27
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,040
learning everything there is to learn.

28
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:17,920
So I think that I'm gonna go to the gym three days a week, one push day, one pull day, one

29
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:22,000
leg day, just three days a week.

30
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:31,920
It will either be Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or Saturday, Sunday, Monday.

31
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:36,520
I haven't decided.

32
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:43,120
So probably actually Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.

33
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:53,280
That seems like a better, better thing to do because the reason why I am going to stop

34
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:59,240
going to the gym every day is because I'm moving on to business.

35
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:06,160
This new focus of my life right now is business and I want to have a lot more time to study

36
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,840
books in the morning.

37
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:15,520
So I want to use the morning, I might end up using the morning to get work done and

38
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,680
then study afterwards.

39
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:24,520
It's just school is starting soon, literally in like four days.

40
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:25,520
Wow.

41
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:30,560
One, two, three, four, five, like five days.

42
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,040
School is starting in five days.

43
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:42,640
Actually yeah, I think that once you guys hear this episode, I'll be in school.

44
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,720
So I'm recording this before school starts.

45
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:54,920
I have like a five day cushion on my recordings.

46
00:04:54,920 --> 00:05:02,880
Yeah, it's three o'clock right now.

47
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:14,320
I'm going to finish this episode and then quickly post it, like schedule it to post

48
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:21,560
and then just try and get to bed or I will get to bed in time tonight.

49
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:27,320
I got to get back on my routine because I am not optimal right now at all.

50
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:34,720
I'm falling apart and it's just because I haven't been on my routine.

51
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:49,440
All right, let's talk about comfort zone.

52
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,000
I've been talking about comfort zone a lot lately.

53
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:58,040
I just started to because I realized that we have to get out of our comfort zones in

54
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:08,800
order to actually get the life that we want.

55
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,240
I am yawning so much.

56
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:11,240
I don't know why.

57
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:20,840
Well, I know why I'm tired, but let me let's talk about comfort zone.

58
00:06:20,840 --> 00:06:31,880
This is not something that I actually started focusing on until like a week and a half ago,

59
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,920
maybe maybe like nine days ago.

60
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:43,200
And I didn't even realize that I was focusing on it until like a week ago or five days ago.

61
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,200
I don't know.

62
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:57,800
And it's all like I've noticed that expanding my comfort zone is so huge because I always

63
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:04,600
get nervous or I just feel uneasy around people.

64
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,560
And that's like all my life.

65
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:12,080
And then once I expanded my comfort zone by going into local businesses and then asking

66
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:19,040
for girls phone numbers, that baseline of uneasy like it's starting to wither away,

67
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,840
it's starting to go away.

68
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:28,840
I'm starting to feel a lot more calm in social situations, which is huge because I hate I

69
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:33,560
do not like being anxious in social situations.

70
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:41,740
And I didn't realize how bad it was until now when I'm actually calm in social situations.

71
00:07:41,740 --> 00:07:48,640
So if you're anxious or nervous in social situations, just get outside of your comfort

72
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,960
zone, take your friends to go to the local mall and just like ask for girls numbers or

73
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,520
something like that.

74
00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:07,280
And I am I still get nervous and social, but it's not as bad and I get like really sweaty

75
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:08,280
too.

76
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:14,840
I'm like a really sweaty person, so I sweat like all my hands and then in my pits, I get

77
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,440
bad pit stains.

78
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:24,200
So it's every time I like tap someone up or shake their hand, they get a nice dose of

79
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,200
sweat.

80
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:37,000
So whatever though.

81
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:48,680
Okay so this is there's one thing that I realized when I was going to ask for girls numbers

82
00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:55,800
is literally right away since I was just doing it with the intention of expanding my comfort

83
00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:01,320
zone, every single rejection, I did not even care.

84
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,480
I was just like, all right, have a good day.

85
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:15,600
And every single rejection, I like instantly like I was not faced by any rejection.

86
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:20,920
And there was actually one moment when a group of girls were like laughing at what I did

87
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:25,760
afterwards and I heard them and I was not face.

88
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:37,080
And that's I'm not sure if everyone will have a similar experience, but that was my experience.

89
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:46,720
Alright, so I see another I'm just looking at pictures of the comfort zone on Google

90
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:51,820
and this picture looks very complicated.

91
00:09:51,820 --> 00:10:06,440
So comfort zone is there's like four different circles all like near each other and kind

92
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:07,440
of overlapping.

93
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,480
There are a few not overlapping over each other.

94
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:25,680
But there is the comfort zone, fantasy land, realm of possibility, that wait what?

95
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:36,840
Okay fantasy land is delusion, realm of possibility is potential.

96
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:43,800
And then in the there's a danger zone, and then a sanity line along the side of danger

97
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:48,160
zone and your comfort zone.

98
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:53,880
And then there's a fulfillment frontier where one more frost possibility is.

99
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:59,480
Okay, so it looks like the realm of possibility is overlapping with the fantasy land.

100
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:05,120
So there is a lot of fantasies that you can have that are just delusional.

101
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:15,600
But it looks like a lot of the fantasies that we can have are actually in the realm of possibilities.

102
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,240
And there's a false fence of identity.

103
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,880
I have no idea what that means.

104
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:29,120
In the realm of possibility is a force of complacency that's powering it maybe.

105
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:30,560
I don't know.

106
00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:35,960
Or this picture is too complicated to explain right away.

107
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:44,680
Yeah, so when I was looking up for exercises to expand your comfort zone, there were really

108
00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:52,400
I couldn't find any like lists of things to do.

109
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,760
I couldn't find any lists of things to do so I'll just tell you guys what to do.

110
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:03,280
So first is email some people if that's nervous for you.

111
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,120
Second is cold call some people.

112
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:13,360
Third is go in person to like local businesses or something like that or in person and have

113
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,440
conversations with people.

114
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:23,360
I find that it's easier to do local businesses because that'll be like more purposeful.

115
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:28,640
Like there would actually be something to talk about instead of someone random on the

116
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:29,960
street.

117
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:40,400
And then once you do that like four times, go to the mall and just talk to girls and

118
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:41,920
ask for their phone numbers.

119
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:50,800
I've only done it once but it's it's probably one of the most comfort zone pushing things

120
00:12:50,800 --> 00:13:02,880
that I've ever done.

121
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:10,960
So I'm actually going to look up I haven't actually looked this up yet.

122
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:22,880
Flights to Orlando oh one way.

123
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:27,760
Yeah thirty dollar cheap flights to Orlando.

124
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,760
Are you serious?

125
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:53,760
That's gotta be well I'm gonna leave on September 27th and it's all the way around August October

126
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:59,440
1st.

127
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:08,200
Yeah I'm looking for flights from Chicago to Orlando.

128
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:13,880
There's one for a hundred dollars that's so cheap.

129
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:20,320
I was thinking it was gonna be like five hundred bucks.

130
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:34,600
Alright well it's looking like we're we're actually going to yeah so if you guys didn't

131
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:39,520
see my episode called I'm going to Florida.

132
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:44,540
I think it actually posted today as of as of recording this.

133
00:14:44,540 --> 00:14:46,600
So post it on the 10th.

134
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:57,920
I think it was episode 15 and that so if you guys are listening to this podcast this episode

135
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:02,240
right now the episode's already out.

136
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:08,920
And it's episode 15 and in there I basically say that me and my friend are going to Florida

137
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:19,240
for Funnel Hacking Live which is an event hosted by the person who we are studying business

138
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:28,760
on and honestly I had doubts because I thought that the flights were gonna be like a thousand

139
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,960
dollars each.

140
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:35,440
No a hundred dollars for one round trip ticket.

141
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,080
So easy.

142
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:52,360
Yeah I already have that money right now but now I'm just gonna keep working on business.

143
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:57,680
Oh my gosh I'm so sorry for this.

144
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:07,320
I'm moral or I'm kind of at odds right now about whether I should post this episode.

145
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:18,760
I already attempted recording an episode like five minutes before I started this episode

146
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:28,600
and once I got like 10 minutes in I just stopped recording because it was so terrible and I'm

147
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:34,000
kind of at odds right now on what I should do because I don't want to upload a trash

148
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:40,640
episode but I also want to make sure that I'm posting every single day and I want you

149
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:49,120
guys to see that I have off days but I also want you guys to see here a good episode.

150
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:56,560
I don't know I think I'm just gonna post it because I'm too I just don't want to have

151
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:12,000
to record two episodes tomorrow.

152
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:17,120
So I'm not gonna lie I've been researching Brian Johnson.

153
00:17:17,120 --> 00:17:20,120
I think that's his name.

154
00:17:20,120 --> 00:17:44,160
I'm gonna look it up Brian Johnson and he looks different.

155
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:54,880
Okay well he is basically reversing aging that's what he's doing and I'm gonna invest

156
00:17:54,880 --> 00:18:01,480
in his work once I make it like once I get a lot of money.

157
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:07,200
I think it's something like two million dollars a year to reverse aging so I'll take that.

158
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:08,200
That's a huge.

159
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:19,880
Honestly he should be charging like 10 million at least but two million dollars I don't know

160
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:25,680
if it's he's charging two million dollars to the public or it's two million dollars

161
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,600
is how much it costs him.

162
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:32,800
I don't know but I'm prepared to spend two million dollars a year.

163
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:41,280
Not right now obviously but I mean reversing aging that's huge.

164
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:48,040
If you can live like even 20 years longer than you would have otherwise that's worth

165
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,400
it two million dollars a year.

166
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:55,400
I mean you can make three million dollars in one year.

167
00:18:55,400 --> 00:19:00,120
You can make like a hundred million in a year.

168
00:19:00,120 --> 00:19:03,160
You can make as much money as you want.

169
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,040
Money's infinite but time is not.

170
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:14,560
If you see an offer for two million dollars a year to increase your lifespan and live

171
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:21,040
healthier at the same time which I am already trying to do live as healthy as I can but

172
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:28,200
his method is the most efficient optimal health ever.

173
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:35,600
So I mean he takes like a hundred supplements a day which is crazy but I mean you got to

174
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:41,360
do what you got to do and by the time I invest in his work he'll probably refine it down

175
00:19:41,360 --> 00:19:49,360
and have it way more optimal and better than what it is at now.

176
00:19:49,360 --> 00:19:57,560
So I did this a couple episodes ago maybe like I don't know how long ago but I basically

177
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:03,840
opened up when I was I didn't know what to say or what to talk about.

178
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:15,320
I basically opened up oh wait before I say this I'm going to write down why a two million

179
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:21,280
dollar investment is good.

180
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,840
Alright but per year.

181
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:32,880
Alright so I'm basically what I did a couple episodes ago was I just opened my book my

182
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:40,960
notebook to a random page and then read what was on it and started talking about it and

183
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:47,000
so I'm about to do that right now.

184
00:20:47,000 --> 00:21:02,480
Oh okay this I wrote down on I wrote two on the date like February but it was actually

185
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:13,240
seven it was July January February March April May June July yeah July 25th.

186
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:20,080
I wrote this down July 25th so how many days are in July?

187
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:34,400
July 31 okay so it's been 16 days since I wrote this down 16 days ago I wrote down celebrate

188
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:45,120
my shiny object syndrome but balance it and have it have in one in on one thing.

189
00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:54,400
Okay I know what this means so for some context 16 days ago I was watching the Your First

190
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:55,400
Funnel Challenge.

191
00:21:55,400 --> 00:22:11,200
It was just an online five day long challenge with daily webinar and on this particular

192
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:18,060
day I remember someone it was during the VIP session someone asked how do you deal with

193
00:22:18,060 --> 00:22:29,920
your tiny object syndrome and a tiny tiny object or not tiny shiny shiny object syndrome

194
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:42,920
is basically when you I think in this context it's entrepreneurs like to look for another

195
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:50,960
when they come up with an idea for another venture opportunity or another completely

196
00:22:50,960 --> 00:23:01,800
different idea they like to go on after it but it's detrimental to them because them

197
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:08,200
switching modes every so often when they see a new idea they never make any progress and

198
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:16,080
so what the response to the question was I think Garrett J White talked about it I don't

199
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:26,600
remember who I don't remember for sure but he answered shiny object syndrome is good

200
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:36,520
for entrepreneurs except it is not good when we're actually trying to do something and

201
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:45,120
once we know the path once we know like the strategy on how to make something work so

202
00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:51,240
for me my path is the consulting business to build funnels for other people so now once

203
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:58,600
I know that you are you are to only focus on that one thing only focus on building funnels

204
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:10,920
for other people and then don't get distracted by anything else so that is that I'm really

205
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:16,600
excited that I'm sorry I'm switching the topic again but I'm thinking about those plane

206
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:24,280
tickets it's only like $95 per person for a round trip so I think that I'm actually

207
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:48,720
gonna look it up again I'm gonna do one way one way oh wait it would be the 26th we would

208
00:24:48,720 --> 00:25:06,480
leave on the 26th done wait yeah I'm really excited because it's like $100 for a round

209
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:36,440
trip so how much for it one way $28 no way on the 26th $28 $35 I'm leaving at 8 a.m.

210
00:25:36,440 --> 00:26:00,480
all right oh $44 for non-stop yeah this I'm taking that so that's literally just $90 or

211
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:08,680
maybe $100 for both of us yeah I could get that really easily I'm gonna actually can

212
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:22,480
you buy tickets buy plane tickets for someone else I'm a plane ticket for someone else's

213
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:28,200
eating all you need to do is make sure that you have the passenger information looks to

214
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:42,240
see this is exactly as it is like driver's license oh yeah yeah so I think what my strategy

215
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:53,480
is to get once this first of all I got to focus only on this funnel and making it successful

216
00:26:53,480 --> 00:27:01,280
get in the first funnel successful and then I got to once that funnel successful make

217
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:08,040
another funnel but make a deal with them and say I'll build you this funnel if you buy

218
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:19,040
a she buy me a ticket me and my friend if you buy me two tickets round trip or one way

219
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:29,640
to Florida yeah I kind of want to do one way because then we can figure things out once

220
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:40,520
we get there that would be awesome only like a hundred bucks for both yeah this is this

221
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:47,160
is what happens if you guys you guys are seeing hearing this live this is what happens when

222
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:52,520
you realize that your dreams are actually about to come true I know I don't sound very

223
00:27:52,520 --> 00:28:01,720
thrilled I'm just really tired and today's not been I for some reason I'm just not very

224
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:10,240
upbeat today I think my energy is low I've been activating my sounds a lot today but

225
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:21,280
it's not really helping but what I'm trying to say wait it might be because on Monday

226
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:28,960
or Tuesday whenever we went to the mall to ask for girls numbers I was activating my

227
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:38,680
fountain a lot because I don't know but that might be why I'm so tired or maybe it's just

228
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:45,760
a coke doesn't matter this is what happens when you when you realize that your dreams

229
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:52,680
are actually about to come true now let me look up how much it costs to fly to Hawaii

230
00:28:52,680 --> 00:29:15,360
plane plane ticket to Hawaii one way one way baby Chicago to Hawaii wait where wait actually

231
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:39,200
best surfing in Hawaii Maui $400 for one flight it's not that bad alright kia huna beach

232
00:29:39,200 --> 00:30:00,320
is the best surfing weather and that is on the island of kawaii it's like the second

233
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:09,520
most eastern one second it's like the more it's the northernmost one yeah kawaii I'm

234
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:30,240
gonna do flights to kawaii kawaii I'm gonna do December I think I get out yeah I'm just

235
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:48,760
gonna do December 31st one way one passenger from 550 to 245 a.m. or no 550 a.m. to 245

236
00:30:48,760 --> 00:31:09,120
p.m. wanna get away what does that even mean oh yeah I'll take the one I get away offer

237
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:28,160
for $400 $400 yeah $400 to get to Hawaii so how much does it cost to and also by the

238
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:36,600
way what I'm doing right now is figuring out the costs of stuff I'm doing a live one because

239
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:41,840
I just thought of doing it I can't really think of anything else to talk about and also

240
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:48,040
you guys see that once you realize your goals are actually achievable you'll be way more

241
00:31:48,040 --> 00:32:06,320
motivated so I've never actually looked at the costs of of this moving to Hawaii and

242
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:30,000
let's see I'm gonna do renting I'm trying to like rent an apartment on the beach side

243
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:41,320
like right next to right next to Kuan what is this beach called kiahuna beach kiahuna

244
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:50,760
beach I want to rent on that beach or even buy a house how much does it cost to buy this

245
00:32:50,760 --> 00:33:01,640
house oh that is a terrible I'm not living there you know I'm just gonna purchase a house

246
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:31,440

248
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:58,120
sucks I'm so sorry you know I'm just gonna stop looking at this moral of the story I

249
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:03,960
don't know if I should post this episode or not I kind of feel bad but I'm probably gonna

250
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:13,440
post it because it's because I'm like really lazy right now or tired I don't want to do

251
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:18,400
two episodes tomorrow I want to study tomorrow so I'm gonna post it and I'm gonna make the

252
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:23,440
rest of it good I'm gonna make the rest of this episode worthwhile let's do that I'm

253
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:31,040
gonna open my notebook again and find something to talk about okay here I wrote down on the

254
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:40,720
25th same day as the last thing I wrote down and it's do it with a smile so I remember

255
00:34:40,720 --> 00:34:47,880
what caused me to write this down and I'll tell you right now the guy who I'm studying

256
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:54,960
his name is Russell Brunson and he is a very good businessman he's very smart he knows

257
00:34:54,960 --> 00:35:02,940
all about funnels and all kinds of marketing and all this stuff he it was an all-american

258
00:35:02,940 --> 00:35:07,080
wrestler which if you don't know what that means it means that he's pretty much like

259
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:14,200
the best wrestler in the nation when he was in high school so that's insane he's like

260
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:22,160
extremely like he was a very disciplined he's still probably still is I don't really know

261
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:31,400
him right now I don't know him but just from what I've read is that he's very disciplined

262
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:39,560
and he used to be on the wrestling team in high school and he played in college too but

263
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:45,280
for context he I think he was the best on the team because he was an all-american so

264
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:55,560
you're probably the best on the team if you're an all-american and for context his team at

265
00:35:55,560 --> 00:36:00,700
this point in the season all had to cut weight so they were all just miserable they were

266
00:36:00,700 --> 00:36:05,600
all cutting weight like every single week going down coming back up going down going

267
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:13,000
back up on the scale and if you've never cut weight before I have never but I've had friends

268
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:18,800
who had and they are miserable like during school they're so tired they're dehydrated

269
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:23,520
they're thirsty like they're hungry all of this you're basically starving yourself and

270
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:33,880
dehydrating yourself of all of your nutrients just to reach a number on the scale especially

271
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:39,360
if you're in school while this is happening that you're your focus and everything is just

272
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:50,200
really bad but during this one practice they were everyone was miserable everyone was just

273
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:56,800
lumped like pushing them like they were all just lumped like humping around like they

274
00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:06,080
were all just miserable just moving trying to move forward and then their coach pulled

275
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:10,960
them all aside and said hey you guys are gonna be here tomorrow you guys have to be here

276
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:15,800
anyways you guys are gonna be here tomorrow the next day anyway so you might as well do

277
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:21,640
it with a good mood you can't change the fact that you're gonna be here but you can change

278
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:32,200
your mood towards it and so everyone was like alright coach and then they went back to practice

279
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:40,960
and no one really listened to what he said but then the next day Russell Brunson had

280
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:50,440
to go to practice early to cut weight and the way you cut weight is by putting on like

281
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:56,000
a plastic thing over your like putting on a sweatshirt putting on a plastic thing over

282
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:03,120
your body and then putting on more sweatshirts and some like winter hats like getting extremely

283
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:11,600
insulated and warm and hot and then you start jumping rope with all that stuff on and you

284
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:18,320
have like baggy pants and all that stuff too lots of stuff on so you're extremely hot and

285
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:22,640
then you start jumping rope so if you can imagine that you're sweating through all of

286
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:28,560
this stuff and it's probably extremely miserable and so he had to do that before practice so

287
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:38,400
he had to do that plus go to practice right after with no water and when the first person

288
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:47,240
came in and saw that he was doing that he was like Russell what are you doing and then

289
00:38:47,240 --> 00:38:55,240
he would he responded I'm cutting weight and then he the dude was like why are you smiling

290
00:38:55,240 --> 00:39:02,600
and then he was like I don't know and then the next guy came in Russell what are you

291
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:08,160
doing I'm cutting weight why are you smiling and then Russell was like I don't know but

292
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:14,360
I've never seen anyone cut weight with a smile so I think I'm gonna do this and so pretty

293
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:21,400
much he changed his attitude towards it and one it was probably a better experience because

294
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:28,720
he wasn't he was probably so miserable but his attitude shifted so it wasn't like as

295
00:39:28,720 --> 00:39:41,480
bad and then two his thought energy was dedicated towards happiness and not misery so that's

296
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:48,480
a huge lesson to be learned and that is one thing that I should be if tomorrow I'm not

297
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:55,360
counting on it but if tomorrow is similar to today where I'm just down I'm going to

298
00:39:55,360 --> 00:40:02,960
remind myself to do with a smile and you know what I'm gonna do it right now I'm smiling

299
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:12,920
right now and I gotta stretch my back real quick okay I'm back so I'm doing it with a

300
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:25,920
smile so that was a good lesson and I'm really glad that I learned I'm reading expert secrets

301
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:32,880
right now the second time through and I'm really glad that I read it because oh excuse

302
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:51,000
me I got the hiccups let me get some water real quick I'm really glad that I have read

303
00:40:51,000 --> 00:41:00,600
expert secrets because I learned how to teach things and the best way to teach people is

304
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:05,560
by telling a story and this certain type of story that you teach them is it's called an

305
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:12,400
epiphany bridge story it's basically where you tell them the emotion get them to feel

306
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:17,760
all the emotion that you're feeling in the moment and then tell them exactly the epiphany

307
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:25,000
that you had through a story format so I kind of just I've been practicing and I just told

308
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:33,960
you his story Russell Brunson story on doing it with a smile and so if you look but if

309
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:39,440
you remember I said I got you guys to feel all the emotions I was miserable and then

310
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:51,600
I got you to feel the epiphany where he was jumping rope and did it with a smile and then

311
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:59,360
I told you like the benefits after that and that's really how you teach and I've actually

312
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:06,320
been using that method of teaching whenever I have to teach someone in real life also

313
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:12,920
like my friend has also read the book or he's reading it right now for the first time and

314
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:17,980
but we both know that teaching method because when I read it the first time I taught him

315
00:42:17,980 --> 00:42:25,320
that that's how you teach through story and so now he's learning it as well but he knew

316
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:31,640
before because I taught him but we've both been teaching each other things through that

317
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:37,800
and the way like that is so good because you just tell someone you should eat healthy or

318
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:45,400
wait let me come up with a good example well no let's just use the example of the jump

319
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:54,480
rope so if you tell someone be happy like do it with smile yeah they're probably not

320
00:42:54,480 --> 00:43:00,880
going to do it because you're just telling them what to do but if you get the whole point

321
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:08,360
of this is to get them to learn what to do and have them think that they got to that

322
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:17,840
point on their own so basically you tell them how to do it through story format but that

323
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:22,320
allows them to believe that they came up to that conclusion on their own so they would

324
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:29,960
actually I found that when my friends tell me things I never do it like for example my

325
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:36,160
friend was like eat white rice because I was switching to brown rice and then he was like

326
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:43,960
you write keep sound right rice brown rice is not good for you and then I didn't I didn't

327
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:55,960
do it but then I after like a while I saw that I think I heard a story about it and

328
00:43:55,960 --> 00:44:04,480
then it made me think that I came to that conclusion on my own it's just if you hear

329
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:09,440
a story it allows you to believe that you came to the conclusion on your own so if you

330
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:14,240
tell someone a story it allows them to get to that conclusion on their own but the story

331
00:44:14,240 --> 00:44:20,240
just helps them along their way so they're a lot more likely to do it and take action

332
00:44:20,240 --> 00:44:27,520
and that's one thing that I've been really practicing and doing in real life don't just

333
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:38,760
tell someone to do something tell them to do something through story alright I'm gonna

334
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:51,120
look at my notebook even earlier to one month ago let's see this is January February March

335
00:44:51,120 --> 00:45:02,960
April May June this is June alright this is July 13th yeah July 13th is the closest thing

336
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:19,040
oh yeah this is on July 13th like one month ago less than a month ago this is what I wrote

337
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:26,160
I said record audiobook it was like a list so it was probably my to-do list for the day

343
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:08,880
my vision for the future like this was exactly what I needed to do to be successful in business

344
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:17,320
and I'm glad that I'm still studying because now I know the way better steps forward this

345
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:25,760
is why I'm over the past like this is why for many episodes be prior to this episode

346
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:31,360
I said that studying you guys need to be studying and you just got to be constantly learning

347
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:36,560
so you can constantly become more efficient and know the more efficient way forward

348
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:58,880
Wow so there's this webinar that I signed up for called the funnel builder by Russell

349
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:12,320
Brunson and I forgot that I was on that webinar like I was actually live on it on my computer

350
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:17,920
and then I'm like 40 minutes in so it's been running the whole time I was on the podcast

351
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:24,040
and I just opened it and he's on a slide called what's the difference I can't afford this

352
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:36,080
and how can I afford this and it was the guy who wrote rich dad poor dad and that is one

353
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:43,560
of the quotes that I kept reminding myself entrepreneurs are problem solvers they figure

354
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:50,240
out how you can afford this and the fact that I'm gonna go to Florida next month I can already

355
00:47:50,240 --> 00:47:57,600
afford it and I didn't know how but I know I can afford it and I'll figure it out and

356
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:08,240
these houses I'm looking I'm actually looking at the map again for the houses and it's pretty

357
00:48:08,240 --> 00:48:21,040

366
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:29,840
the so I'm getting distracted all right I'm getting distracted I gotta wake up yeah that

367
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:38,840
was on so back to what I was saying on the 27th of January February March April May June

368
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:49,480
June 27th so like a month and a half ago I was literally asking myself what do I want

369
00:50:49,480 --> 00:51:01,800
to do for my business what product do I sell how do it yeah this is yeah this is why you

370
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:16,520
keep keep learning on the 26th of June I said fix my mindset my character determines my

371
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:23,560
income not the tactics it's my mindset choose the right business don't think about the benefit

372
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:34,040
think about the problems of the thing and ask yourself so I would actually I don't really

373
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:45,860
understand oh like what what you compare the problems to like the problems you would experience

374
00:51:45,860 --> 00:51:55,480
to each of the businesses and what which business which problem you would not mind solving and

375
00:51:55,480 --> 00:52:02,560
dealing with every day I don't really know how that applies to the right now sure me

376
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:13,520
because I don't understand what that is I wrote that well oh wow on the 26th I would

377
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:20,200
I didn't even know about funnels I was literally writing a I actually remember writing this

378
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:26,800
stuff down this was like halfway through summer break and I was just I just realized that

379
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:37,680
I need to get into business and I wrote down the first thing in this notebook this business

380
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:47,240
notebook is goal build a business and this was like a month and a half ago on June 25

381
00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:56,040
I mean it was steps finish dot-com secrets second step read how to start a business little

382
00:52:56,040 --> 00:53:05,400
did I know dot-com secrets had everything I needed yeah and I was yeah I had no idea

383
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:11,000
I think it's just simply because I wasn't very educated I didn't know that much and

384
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:18,000
fact that I learned so much in a month and a half I literally have over full I have over

385
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:25,820
four months until I am graduated from high school so if I learned this much in one month

386
00:53:25,820 --> 00:53:32,200
man the amount of stuff I'm gonna learn four months is actually crazy I would definitely

387
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:40,480
be rich I would definitely have a business I'll be a pro I was doing market research

388
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:49,480
on my competitors because my original business idea was to make a basically copy Airbnb

389
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:55,320
but I didn't realize that I was basically gonna make Airbnb but I didn't realize that

390
00:53:55,320 --> 00:54:15,720
Airbnb already existed so that's yeah that sucked I'm glad I didn't follow that so on

391
00:54:15,720 --> 00:54:25,280
this June 26 I said what work would I do for free for 10 years oh oh wait this is how

392
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:33,880
actually good this page is good so I listed some things to do for for business number

393
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:42,080
one choose the right business think about okay yeah I just so the first step is choose

394
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:50,160
the right business second step is accountability open the journal when you mess up and feeling

395
00:54:50,160 --> 00:55:06,440
the pain of failure leads to growth accountability so I actually developed this habit then on

396
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:15,960
that day because every single night since like the 26th of June I've been journaling

397
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:21,360
and asking myself questions of what was today like efficient like did I actually get stuff

398
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:29,160
done today and I sit in my pain I actually have been not sitting in my pain lately so

399
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:37,280
I got to start sitting in my pain about the failure that will lead to growth and then

400
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:44,740
step three is focus major tasks written on paper for the day do nothing but the task

401
00:55:44,740 --> 00:55:54,080
until it is complete set intention to start this task to completion without getting distracted

402
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:59,520
get work done effectively and efficiently then relax that is that is the step that is

403
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:04,720
probably the most important that I actually have not figured out how to implement I'm

404
00:56:04,720 --> 00:56:13,240
just being a wuss and this is like the one step that will get me into it step four prioritize

405
00:56:13,240 --> 00:56:20,200
choose the most important task and I said like coding yeah no I'm not going to be coding

406
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:25,920
at that point like literally a month and a half ago my plan was to code like learn how

407
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:35,240
to code like to build my website on my own that was a terrible idea I'm glad I learned

408
00:56:35,240 --> 00:56:42,120
about click funnels then question if I could only work for two hours a day what tasks would

409
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:52,320
I do oh this is when I was reading the four-hour work week okay and I said then only do it

410
00:56:52,320 --> 00:57:03,520
and get better at it what task I guess building funnels would be my task okay so from this

411
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:14,040
reflection session building funnels is my task that's like the only thing marketing

412
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:21,560
and building funnels is the only task that matters so for example the you if you are

413
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:27,800
a youtuber the only task that would matter is recording a video like none of the other

414
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:35,800
stuff matters except for recording so literally only record every day and then you'll get

415
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:43,680
better and better I guess that's what I'm doing podcasting but not really focusing 100%

416
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:53,000
of my effort on that it's just documenting my journey

417
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:59,720
number five is courage feel fear but do it anyway say fear out loud it probably sounds

418
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:10,560
stupid yeah it definitely does for example being afraid to approach a girl that you don't

419
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:16,640
know and ask you for a number if you just say it out loud it sounds stupid like you're

420
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:26,160
afraid to walk up to someone and say hey can I get your number that's just sounds stupid

421
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:34,040
and two days ago I was afraid to do it but today I'm probably less than 50% afraid so

422
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:50,640
I'm getting good getting good I wrote down the pursuit of becoming an entrepreneur will

423
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:57,200
make me a lot more masculine because I will learn I will start to learn to overcome my

424
00:58:57,200 --> 00:59:11,840
fear yeah I agree entrepreneurship is 100% about overcoming your fears plus I didn't

425
00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:20,920
realize it at the time but I did like comfort zone challenges to increase my comfort zone

426
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:35,760
to reduce my fears I think it's really good to reflect on your journals every once in

427
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:44,000
a while I always reflect just the morning after while I'm icing my balls but I think

428
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:50,360
that maybe like once a month it's good to look back and reread all of your stuff to

429
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:58,920
see your progress because this is really inspiring because today I was really down but I'm actually

430
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:06,600
feeling a lot better that because literally only one month ago like 30 days ago I that

431
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:16,720
was clueless and I made so much progress I'm actually like so far ahead of where I was

432
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:31,240
a month ago very grateful for that sorry guys this episode kind of sucked but I just want

433
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:38,320
you guys to see that I'm really am documenting my journey like the lows and the high points
