1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,620 So the big question is this, how do young men like us, who didn't listen to society, 2 00:00:06,620 --> 00:00:12,160 who are on our own, how do we grow and prove ourselves so that we can live a better tomorrow? 3 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:17,100 That is a question and this show will give you the answers. 4 00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:28,760 My name is James Radzynski and welcome to the Ascend Momentum Show. 5 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,240 Welcome back everyone. 6 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:37,800 So as you can tell, my new microphone cable has not arrived yet. 7 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:42,120 It is supposed to arrive today by 10. 8 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:52,160 So hopefully tomorrow if I can set it up and figure it out, I'll be able to have a better 9 00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:55,160 mic tomorrow for you guys. 10 00:00:55,160 --> 00:01:01,360 And also tomorrow is my first day of school and I'm excited because it's going to be my 11 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,360 easiest semester yet. 12 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:08,440 It's going to be my easiest year because I'm graduating early. 13 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:19,280 And currently I have, my classes are looking like I've got first through fifth and then 14 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:24,000 sixth, seventh, eighth are off. 15 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:30,480 So I'm definitely going to go in and change that because that's unacceptable because I 16 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:35,520 got a bunch of unrequired classes that I'm taking. 17 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:44,000 So I only have to take two English classes and one gym class left to graduate. 18 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:54,240 So I'll be going, I'll be doing first period and second period is English and then third 19 00:01:54,240 --> 00:02:01,480 period is gym and then fourth period will be lunch and I'll just leave during lunch 20 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,920 and then the rest of the day I have off. 21 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,640 That's what my schedule is going to look like. 22 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:13,120 I tried to go in today but they didn't let me in because today was the freshman day where 23 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:19,520 all the freshmen go in and figure out their schedules and I wasn't allowed in because 24 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:24,120 they said the staff was only focusing on the freshmen today. 25 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,760 It's completely understandable. 26 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:34,920 So I just followed up on with my counselor and e-billed her until they're going in tomorrow. 27 00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:45,000 So I want to tell you guys, I have seen some crazy good benefits just from doing this one 28 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,920 breathwork exercise with a metal straw. 29 00:02:48,920 --> 00:02:59,440 So I have a metal straw and it's an exercise that helps strengthen your core and it definitely 30 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:00,660 works. 31 00:03:00,660 --> 00:03:05,760 So you get a metal straw, I get one with a bend in it so it's harder and the straw is 32 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,840 for resistance, increased resistance. 33 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:16,640 So you put the metal straw in your mouth but you put it towards the tip of your lips so 34 00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:21,600 you have to be precise about where you're breathing in and then you breathe in through 35 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,360 your mouth for like four or five counts. 36 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,560 Eventually you want to get longer and longer. 37 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:35,040 Like right now my record is like eight counts in but sometimes I can only do like four. 38 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,720 I don't know, it's weird. 39 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:41,400 I've been doing it for like two weeks maybe. 40 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:47,320 And that exercise helps so much with increasing your core strength. 41 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:53,280 So when you breathe in, you breathe in through the mouth and then through the stomach. 42 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:59,160 So you increase the stomach all the way up and then once your stomach is full you finish 43 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,760 off through your chest, like breathe through the chest. 44 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,060 And then once you breathe all that up then you hold it. 45 00:04:08,060 --> 00:04:12,740 You just hold your breath for like the same amount of time that you breathed in. 46 00:04:12,740 --> 00:04:16,480 So if you breathed in for five seconds you hold for five seconds. 47 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:21,040 And then you exhale for the same amount of time, five seconds. 48 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:26,800 And then you hold it at the bottom for the same amount of time, five seconds. 49 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:33,880 And that's the breath work exercise but there's actually one thing that I added to it. 50 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,960 So I do the breathe in, I hold it and then exhale. 51 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:43,680 And then on the hold at the bottom, when you're holding the exhale for the five seconds I 52 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:48,040 do a vacuum which is like a bodybuilding thing. 53 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:57,360 It's basically where you like pull your gut in, like you pull your stomach in. 54 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,800 Not with your hands but you just like control your stomach to go in. 55 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:12,360 And then you go, it's, it's hard to explain on a podcast, just look up how to do a vacuum. 56 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,200 And so I do that at the bottom. 57 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,240 And at the beginning I was terrible at vacuums, it hurt. 58 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,160 But I kept pushing through and I kept doing it more and more. 59 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:28,960 And now I'm pretty decent at vacuums and also my abs are so much better now. 60 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,160 It's, I noticed that when I'm doing sit ups. 61 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:39,340 I do sit ups at the gym with, we have this like bench that you can get like an incline 62 00:05:39,340 --> 00:05:41,800 or a decline on. 63 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:50,660 So imagine doing the decline bench press but not decline, not doing bench, you do sit ups. 64 00:05:50,660 --> 00:05:54,040 So we have one of those for sit ups. 65 00:05:54,040 --> 00:06:00,600 And I usually hold onto a 45 pound plate while I'm doing it. 66 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:06,240 And before I was only able to do like 8 to 12 reps. 67 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:13,320 But now I can do 16 reps slowly, like slow descent reps. 68 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:18,560 So my core strength has definitely gone up and it's only been like 2 weeks. 69 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:26,880 Now I did not see any benefits or results until like today, I'm not even kidding. 70 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:36,120 But there's also one other thing that I have found that it's helped with. 71 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:41,040 And I also at the end of doing that, I do the breath work in the morning after my 30 72 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,040 minute meditation. 73 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,560 So I meditate for like 40 minutes basically. 74 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,360 Because the breath work I am meditating still. 75 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,080 I have my eyes closed and I focus on the breath. 76 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:57,000 But I also lay on my stomach, like on my mat, because I sleep on a tatami mat. 77 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:08,120 But I lay on my stomach and it's because my top abs, or like my physiology is really weird 78 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,520 in this sense. 79 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:17,240 My top abs poke out, like if I'm standing straight up, my top abs, my top 2 abs poke 80 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,480 out more than my chest. 81 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,880 So it's really weird looking. 82 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:28,520 And I've noticed that doing the breath work and laying on my stomach has definitely helped. 83 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,520 It hasn't fixed it yet, but it has only been like 2 weeks. 84 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,200 But it's definitely helped. 85 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:40,640 And my abs, like I have good abs and I've always had like defined abs. 86 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:46,620 But my abs have gotten so much more defined and they look way better. 87 00:07:46,620 --> 00:07:48,160 And they're kind of evening out. 88 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:57,720 Because one of my abs is bigger than the, my top right ab from my perspective is bigger 89 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,400 than my top left ab and it's really weird. 90 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:02,940 But they're kind of evening out. 91 00:08:02,940 --> 00:08:10,820 So I foresee in the next couple weeks or months that my abs will be way better. 92 00:08:10,820 --> 00:08:15,600 Even more better. 93 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:20,400 So that is one of the exercises that I learned from this guy that I met. 94 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,160 His name is Alex. 95 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,240 I met him in the beginning of summer. 96 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,780 And he's a bodybuilder and he is like 30 years old. 97 00:08:30,780 --> 00:08:34,980 And he's been lifting for, since he was like 14 or 13. 98 00:08:34,980 --> 00:08:38,300 And he was like the most jacked bodybuilder. 99 00:08:38,300 --> 00:08:44,640 He had a video where he was like the most jacked bodybuilder 18 year old in the world. 100 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,360 Or at least one of them. 101 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,200 And so he's like the real deal. 102 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,800 And we've like talked to him all summer. 103 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,640 And he told me that exercise and I did it. 104 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,760 Every single day since he taught me that. 105 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:07,320 And then he also taught me another thing which is balancing on a ball, a medicine ball. 106 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,240 And doing like squats on it. 107 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:10,280 So I've been doing that. 108 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,640 I'm on like day six. 109 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,480 And I can do nine squats consistently. 110 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:17,720 Or nine squats in a row. 111 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,920 That's my record. 112 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:28,040 And then he also, we were talking to him yesterday. 113 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,440 I talked about this on the podcast yesterday. 114 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,240 But I'm going to say it again. 115 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:38,200 He taught us another exercise for the, another exercise. 116 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:43,680 And so I didn't take it lightheartedly because the last two things he taught me I've been 117 00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:46,440 doing and I've seen amazing benefits. 118 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:51,840 So this exercise that he taught me is a neck exercise. 119 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:56,400 And he said that he wished that he's been doing it since our age. 120 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:57,400 Since he was our age. 121 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:03,080 But he didn't add it until recently I think. 122 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,180 And it's basically where you do the bridge. 123 00:10:06,180 --> 00:10:11,640 If you know what the bridge is, it's where you like bend your back and you're holding 124 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:16,960 yourself up with your feet and hands. 125 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:21,720 It's like where you lay on your back and then push yourself up with your feet and hands. 126 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,080 So your back is bent like a bridge. 127 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:31,520 But instead of pushing yourself up with your hands, you push yourself up with your neck. 128 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:38,440 And you basically just put your two feet on the ground bent like you would a bridge. 129 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,600 And then you have your arms. 130 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:45,040 I like to rest my arms on my stomach, or rest my hands on my stomach. 131 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:53,120 But in the beginning I like used my elbows to help support me because my neck was not 132 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:58,560 like strong enough to actually do it on its own. 133 00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:06,000 And so you basically just like lift yourself up with your neck and then you like bend your 134 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,760 neck kind of up and down. 135 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,160 And that's one rep. 136 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,360 Or you could just do a static hold. 137 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,200 I found that the static hold works just fine in the beginning. 138 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:21,600 And so I just started that literally this morning was my first day. 139 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:29,880 And that's like really what the three exercises that I've added to my routine. 140 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:39,120 And also today was the first day that I did my new schedule. 141 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,600 So I ate one cup of white rice. 142 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:48,760 I cooked one cup of white rice so it turned out to be like more than a cup of cooked. 143 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,560 So it was like 600 calories. 144 00:11:51,560 --> 00:11:53,740 I added that to my day. 145 00:11:53,740 --> 00:11:57,200 So I'm going to have 600 calories more every day. 146 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,040 So I'm getting on a bulk now. 147 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:05,560 And before I was just maintaining I wasn't really worried about my calories. 148 00:12:05,560 --> 00:12:08,560 But I'm getting on a bulk now. 149 00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:12,920 And I'm still not going to worry about my calories but I'm just going to eat the same 150 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:19,440 thing every day and that same thing as 600 calories more than I was eating before. 151 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:26,000 So I'm definitely going to be increased weight. 152 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:35,000 And also I moved my time that I go to the gym from 6am to 1pm. 153 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,880 The reason for this he gave me many reasons why I should do it. 154 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:45,960 It works perfectly because I wake up at 4am, do my morning routine and then at 6am I study 155 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,480 until I have to leave for school. 156 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,680 And then I eat rice and then go to school. 157 00:12:52,680 --> 00:12:56,240 And then I come home, eat and then go to the gym. 158 00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,920 And since I'm only going to have three periods I'll be able to do it all plus do an hour 159 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,560 of podcasting every day. 160 00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:05,720 So it will work out perfectly. 161 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:13,360 And so the reason why I go to the gym at 1am instead of in the morning is because he said 162 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,680 that and what he said makes sense to me. 163 00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:22,600 If you're going to the gym in the morning you've only gotten one meal in you. 164 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:27,880 So you're barely going to have any energy, like any calories in you already. 165 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,800 And barely any water also. 166 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:36,120 But if you go in the afternoon then you'll have all of your meals in you and then you 167 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:41,040 also will have all of your water in you. 168 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:47,480 Plus in the afternoon you'll have more energy or you'll be able to lift better. 169 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,880 So I'm doing that now. 170 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:58,720 And so I'll be gaining some, I'll be gaining a lot more now. 171 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,160 I'm fairly confident in that. 172 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:07,040 And before I was doing push pull legs seven days a week, just going every single day unless 173 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,600 I needed to take a rest day every once in a while. 174 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:16,560 Or I had to do something that I couldn't go to the gym. 175 00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:25,380 But now I'm doing legs pull push, rest rest, legs pull push. 176 00:14:25,380 --> 00:14:32,600 And he said that the reason is because when you hit legs, well legs first. 177 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,400 I don't remember exactly why but legs increase test. 178 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,920 So you want all of your energy on legs. 179 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:45,880 So you want to rest up two days and then just go crazy hard on legs. 180 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:51,560 And I actually agree because legs is the hardest so you want all of your energy for it. 181 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:59,600 And then the next day is pull day because the main difference between the male and the 182 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:06,480 female body is that male has 30% more back muscle. 183 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,560 So we should be working our backs a lot more. 184 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:16,080 So that's like second on the priority list back day which is pull day for me because 185 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,360 I like push pull legs. 186 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:27,320 And then third is chest day just because it's the least important out of the three. 187 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,280 But it's still like valuable. 188 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,760 That's why we still hit it. 189 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:38,360 So legs pull push, rest rest, legs pull push. 190 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:43,440 I'm going to actually have a rest day structured into my routine for the first time in a long 191 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:54,200 time. 192 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:59,640 So I've been lifting for a little over two years now. 193 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:04,040 I think like basically two years at this point. 194 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:08,280 Maybe a little bit more. 195 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:19,040 My gains recently once I started, once my diet was better and my test was higher and 196 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,600 I feel like my gains are going to be way better now that I'm working in the afternoon because 197 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,540 I never work out in the afternoon. 198 00:16:24,540 --> 00:16:28,120 It's always first thing in the morning. 199 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,460 Right after I'm done with my morning routine. 200 00:16:31,460 --> 00:16:34,600 So I feel like my gains are going to get a lot better. 201 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:43,160 And it's perfect because I've been prioritizing studying over gym now. 202 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:47,760 And so I was going to cut out gym and then only work out at the gym for three days a 203 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:48,760 week. 204 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:55,400 But now I can basically do the same thing except work out a little bit more. 205 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,680 Four to five days a week. 206 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:10,480 And then I can also have studying first thing in the morning. 207 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:11,640 So I'll like study first. 208 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,800 I'm pretty sure studying first thing in the morning is the most optimal. 209 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:15,920 I'll have to look it up. 210 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:22,560 But I study first thing in the morning and I also study at night like after my podcast. 211 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:29,320 Because right now I'm studying two books which I probably wouldn't suggest but I just want 212 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:36,040 to read Reality Transurfing and I want to read Extra Secrets and I don't want to wait. 213 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,480 So I just figured I'll read them both. 214 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:47,960 But yeah that's like basically what I'm doing right now. 215 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:53,960 But I went today for the first time in the afternoon after having like three meals and 216 00:17:53,960 --> 00:18:00,840 I will say my strength and power just everything is so much better. 217 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,000 I like it a lot more. 218 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:08,080 I feel like I got a way better workout today than I did before when I was going in the 219 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,240 mornings. 220 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,720 But I wouldn't have changed it because I'm glad I went in the mornings before because 221 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:20,560 that was the most convenient time for me because I didn't have that much energy in the afternoon 222 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:28,080 after school because many reasons but one of the biggest ones is that I got out of school 223 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:35,760 at 3.11 but now I'm getting out of school at like 10.30 so I'm going to have a lot more 224 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,240 energy in the day. 225 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:42,760 And plus before I had like low tests my health was bad. 226 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:47,680 Now I have I'm pretty sure my testosterone is way well I mean yeah my testosterone is 227 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:55,640 way higher for sure and also my health is better. 228 00:18:55,640 --> 00:19:08,160 I'm going to be honest with you guys. 229 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,580 I wasted my whole morning this morning. 230 00:19:11,580 --> 00:19:20,920 I still did all my morning routine and I studied but we didn't go to the park because we were 231 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:30,080 going to work instead and so I literally just got on my computer and got distracted and 232 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:36,640 it's because I didn't know what I was going to do right away and I let myself get distracted. 233 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:42,000 And so the solution that I came up with that I used to do but then I just stopped for some 234 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,760 reason because I developed bad habits. 235 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:53,440 The solution is I'm not going to let myself on my computer like I'm not even going to 236 00:19:53,440 --> 00:20:00,800 go on my computer until I define the critical task for the day. 237 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:07,320 My mission critical task the one task that I need to do that day and I define like the 238 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:15,200 step by step outline of how to get it done so then I can figure it out before and then 239 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,920 get on the computer and actually take action. 240 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:23,400 And that second part I actually didn't do before. 241 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:29,060 What I did before was I just defined the critical task and then figured it out on my computer 242 00:20:29,060 --> 00:20:32,760 and then that led to me getting distracted pretty easily. 243 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:40,240 But now I'm going to define it and then not like I'm going to define the task and then 244 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:46,840 outline a step by step thing in my head of exactly what I need to do so I'll have an 245 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,000 outline of what needs to be done. 246 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:58,040 And I think that will help my productivity a lot because I should be doing a lot better 247 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,720 but I'm not and I've been like procrastinating. 248 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:06,400 I'm a watch for newer right now I'm not even a lot of the only thing entrepreneurial like 249 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:16,760 that I'm doing is the podcast but I don't really count that because I mean it will count 250 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:23,240 once I start getting a big audience but right now I don't really have that big of an audience 251 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:28,120 but I don't really count the podcast because it's just something simple that I do every 252 00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:29,120 day. 253 00:21:29,120 --> 00:21:37,240 Just something in my routine and what really is what I need to be doing is building some 254 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:45,760 funnels for some people and this morning I actually took action and I joined I signed 255 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:57,880 up for Upwork and I applied for one of the jobs on there and I'm basically just going 256 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:05,280 to be a funnel builder and build the person an ad campaign and help them develop their 257 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:12,480 product into a new opportunity and create a new movement for them. 258 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:17,520 Just help them market very well all in general and so hopefully I get that job. 259 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:23,520 I put my hourly rate as $100 an hour because I remember when I was looking at the hourly 260 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:33,160 rate I remember I was going to do like $15 an hour or $20 an hour but I remember looking 261 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:39,800 at or I remember seeing a hands-on video a couple weeks ago and he told us story about 262 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:46,920 how he was doing coaching where he was literally doing selling his time for like one hour, 263 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:53,640 one dollar an hour, one dollar an hour and people weren't really taking it seriously 264 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:58,200 they were just kind of goofing off on the calls and basically just wasting both of their 265 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:09,040 times and then he read a book and on there he said you have to 10x your time or you have 266 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:17,040 to value your time way more so he like reluctantly after a lot of being like a lot of emotion 267 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:22,560 going through like being scared of fear all this stuff he put like his hourly rate at 268 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:27,640 like a hundred dollars an hour or something like that and then he posted it on his video 269 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:36,400 his YouTube channel and he was expecting a lot of hate which did come but people actually 270 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:42,600 joined his calls and took it seriously and then I also after I saw that I read in Russell 271 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:53,160 Brunson's book Expert Secrets that you actually have an obligation to charge your customers 272 00:23:53,160 --> 00:24:01,200 money and a lot of money because people who pay pay attention and that proved that was 273 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:07,440 proved in Hamza's story where when they were paying one dollar they did not pay attention 274 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:12,200 and they just didn't take it seriously but if he was charging them a hundred dollars 275 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:20,560 well that's a higher quality thing and so it was just the same person same training 276 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:26,480 but different price and the people who paid a hundred dollars got way more out of it and 277 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:33,320 they actually they actually got results like the people who were charged one dollar did 278 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:40,400 not get results they always did not like follow through on the plans that Hamza built for 279 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:48,440 them and they were not consistent they were just had bad they were not successful at all 280 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:53,800 but the people who paid a hundred dollars were like way more successful and it's because 281 00:24:53,800 --> 00:25:00,320 they paid they invested in their self and themselves so we actually have a moral responsibility 282 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:07,800 to charge a lot of money so that's why I put one hundred dollars an hour also one another 283 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:16,360 reasoning behind it is if everyone else is charging like twenty dollars an hour and I'm 284 00:25:16,360 --> 00:25:22,120 charging a hundred dollars an hour well I stand out so then I can actually provide a 285 00:25:22,120 --> 00:25:27,600 lot more value and then also he'll take it a lot more seriously and take what I have 286 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:35,840 to say into heart and I'll be a lot more committed because a hundred dollars an hour is no small 287 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:40,520 number for me right now like all summer I've been working for maybe like twenty dollars 288 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:45,500 an hour thirty dollars an hour which is a lot of money for someone my age but it's not 289 00:25:45,500 --> 00:25:52,720 a lot of money for me because I know my worth and I know I'm worth a lot more than twenty 290 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:59,920 dollars an hour but most people my age are working like fifteen ten dollars an hour maybe 291 00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:08,320 I don't know but I'm not I'm not like that I'm I care about how much I make so I'm charging 292 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:16,680 a hundred dollars an hour and we'll see if I get the job I hope I do and I think that 293 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:21,600 I definitely know that I could help them a lot I know all the strategies I don't know 294 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:26,200 any of the tactics though so I have to figure out the tactics on the way and the strategies 295 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:31,640 is like the how to do something so like I know a lot of the marketing stuff like how 296 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:38,480 you should do something but I don't know the tactics of what to do like what exactly how 297 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:45,360 to do like the outline the plan I don't know what software to use I don't know what how 298 00:26:45,360 --> 00:26:50,520 to use the software you know I know how to use click funnels but I'm not that good at 299 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:58,080 it and I also don't know how to use click funnels for someone else so I'll have to figure 300 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:10,080 that out and I want to follow up on you guys about my first client that I got on I think 301 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:18,280 it was episode 21 I talked about it where I got my first client after like a whole week 302 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:25,600 of attempting to get new clients and it fell through and it's because one to be honest 303 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:31,600 I'm kind of too lazy to actually build it which is absolutely terrible on my part I 304 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:40,240 have to fix that and two I texted her and she didn't she like read it but she didn't 305 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:48,520 respond that was like last Wednesday and right now it's Monday so I kind of failed on that 306 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:54,240 part but I'm I'm seen as a success because on the journey to be able to get my first 307 00:27:54,240 --> 00:28:00,800 client like when I was first starting I could not get a client at all because my comfort 308 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:06,560 zone was not it was way smaller but after I was like expanding my comfort zone I was 309 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:14,040 able to go in there confidently and actually talk to her and sell my skills basically sell 310 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:22,520 my stuff so I feel like way more confident if I wanted to just go out to another store 311 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:31,080 and try and get a client in person so that I see this as a success because on the path 312 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:37,540 to getting my first client I gained the abilities to get clients I didn't just spend a week 313 00:28:37,540 --> 00:28:42,120 to get a client and that doesn't mean that I'll spend another week to get another client 314 00:28:42,120 --> 00:29:00,320 it means that now I have the skills to get another client 315 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:14,520 I gotta get some water 316 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:24,640 so on my studies today in reality transsurfing I read about following going with the flow 317 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:33,920 and basically is where most people are either a so in life here let me explain this first 318 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:44,800 the alternatives flow is just a chain link so imagine like a link of chains of cause 319 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:51,400 and effect so this event will cause that event which will cause that event and then it just 320 00:29:51,400 --> 00:30:00,480 goes down so as you live your life you go down the link of cause and effect but it doesn't 321 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:13,280 actually work like that in most people's lives because if you the mind likes to reason so 322 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:18,720 when you come up with a problem when you come across a problem your mind likes to reason 323 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:26,040 so you use your brain to decide the best course of action through logic so you use logic to 324 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:33,000 decide what is the best course of action through this problem and most of the time 99% of the 325 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:46,440 time it is not the most efficient or energy efficient or optimal way forward and so as 326 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:54,120 a result you transfer to a different chain a cause and effect chain and when you transfer 327 00:30:54,120 --> 00:31:01,080 that means that you're not on your that you're on a different path now different lifeline 328 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:08,600 and so nature never wastes energy nature always takes the path of least resistance so if it 329 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:13,860 was up to nature you would always just go forward in that same chain link but since 330 00:31:13,860 --> 00:31:21,640 you're wasting a lot of energy you're essentially in a boat a paper boat so the chain link here 331 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:29,840 let me explain this the chain link imagine you're in a stream like a river and when you're 332 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:35,800 going downstream you're just going down the chain link so imagine you start flailing 333 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:42,200 your arms around that is what you do when you come up come across a problem and so you 334 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:48,280 start flailing your arms around splashing the water just wasting a lot of energy trying 335 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:57,440 to like move around where you could just keep going like keep going forward but so when 336 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:07,400 you do that you transfer to a different chain link and the way most people live is they're 337 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:16,760 in like a paper boat that gets helplessly pushed across the stream and they don't really 338 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:22,320 dictate where they're going they just let life live them like let life pass them by 339 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:32,280 and they don't really have they don't really have any vision or like decisions they don't 340 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:39,520 make that much control over their lives really so they whatever happens to them they just 341 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:51,520 say I'll let fate take the wheel and then the other type of person is in the boat but 342 00:32:51,520 --> 00:33:01,040 they they actually have a vision for the future and they like set course to their goals but 343 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:10,400 instead of going with the flow and letting the flow take them and use most of the energy 344 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:15,720 take them to their goals they flail their arms around and try and use a bunch of energy 345 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:24,880 to when they come up across obstacles and things like problems in the road they flail 346 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:33,840 around and try and swim around and they come up with complicated solutions to simple problems 347 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:39,000 and that wastes a lot of energy they may or may not get to their goals but they follow 348 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:46,120 the kind of saying that you have to fight for your place under the sun so those are 349 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:52,760 the two types of people which is fine they just they choose to live that way that's their 350 00:33:52,760 --> 00:34:01,900 choice but the transsurfing transsurfing type of person like the person that transsurfing 351 00:34:01,900 --> 00:34:10,100 teaches how to become is someone who goes with the flow and they use as little energy 352 00:34:10,100 --> 00:34:16,480 as possible to correct course so they set course towards their goal and then just let 353 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:25,400 the flow of life take them and then when they come across a problem they first realize that 354 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:32,360 all problems and obstacles in life are created by the mind so they figure out where they 355 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:36,880 place too much importance and then they reduce the importance and then the problem usually 356 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:43,200 disappears and then when they come when they have to make a decision they listen to the 357 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:52,120 rustle in the morning stars which is basically your subconscious speaking or telling you 358 00:34:52,120 --> 00:35:00,000 feelings and most of the time like most people do not listen to their subconscious at all 359 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:05,640 because the brain feels that it's more logical and it's always right which is absolutely 360 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:13,360 wrong it's absolutely not true because if it was then the heights that our civilization 361 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:23,880 would reach would be astronomical but that's another topic so in order to listen to the 362 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:30,940 rustle the morning stars you make a decision so let's say you come across a event where 363 00:35:30,940 --> 00:35:37,120 you have to make a decision should I wear should I buy this shirt or that shirt should 364 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:49,360 I go to the like some decision any decision that you make in life and the way you listen 365 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:54,400 to the rustle the morning stars is you imagine yourself having made one decision and then 366 00:35:54,400 --> 00:36:02,240 you quiet your mind you contemplate the emptiness and you just feel how you feel your inner 367 00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:10,560 peace like do you feel inner peace or do you feel inner tension it you'll either feel peaceful 368 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:21,220 or you'll feel like bad like you'll have turmoil inside or you just won't be able to feel anything 369 00:36:21,220 --> 00:36:27,320 and that just means that you're not like you're not good at listening to the heart and that's 370 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:33,460 fine because I'm like that right now too so you just have to get better and I forgot how 371 00:36:33,460 --> 00:36:43,520 to get better I think it's just practice I'm just trying to practice more and more but 372 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:51,760 if you feel inner peace then you should go forward with that decision if you feel inner 373 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:58,920 tension you should choose the other decision or don't make a decision at all if the other 374 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:07,400 decision gives you inner tension also and so going with the flow is basically how you 375 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:18,280 get to your goals because the story that he told to symbolize this is it actually stuck 376 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:28,880 in my mind so imagine you're in this in like a circle dome I'm changing the story up to 377 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:34,920 make it better and like make it better for me to say because I don't remember the exact 378 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:43,480 story so imagine you're in a circle a big circle area and you're at the outer edge of 379 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:51,840 the circle and there are and that circle is filled with people and all on the outer edge 380 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:57,200 is people who are goal-determined they're all trying to get to their goals and you're 381 00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:02,520 one of them let's say there's a hundred people scattered all the way across this big circle 382 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:09,960 and in the middle represents your goal so the dead center is your goal so everyone's 383 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:22,480 trying to go towards that goal but in on the way to the goal there are so many people all 384 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:29,520 needy people trying to ask for help they want money or all of it and all these problems 385 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:41,560 arise on the way to that center circle the center of the circle and the normal person 386 00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:46,680 this is the second type of person I talked to remember the first person just lets the 387 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:53,640 paper boat float across the stream float down the stream and the second person tries restlessly 388 00:38:53,640 --> 00:39:02,120 and uses a lot of energy to swim downstream so the second type of person who's trying 389 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:08,800 to get to their goal would always get stopped by the people along the way and they'd be 390 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:15,680 like hey can I have money or can I have help I need help or and then it just many different 391 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:20,840 problems arise for them and this represents the journey towards a goal in life this whole 392 00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:29,720 story that's that person and they may make it or they won't but if they make it they 393 00:39:29,720 --> 00:39:37,680 use so much more energy they will have used so much more energy than they would have otherwise 394 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:50,280 so they basically wasted a lot of energy and that whole that whole if they make it alright 395 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:56,360 so let's say they make it then that will represent a story for other people who are like minded 396 00:39:56,360 --> 00:40:02,600 and use the same tactics to get there just try and push through all of those people and 397 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:07,440 then all the other people will try and do the same thing so everyone will be end up 398 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:14,060 using a lot of energy and those the people and the problems on the path that need help 399 00:40:14,060 --> 00:40:19,560 on the path to the goal those arise because of importance you place too much importance 400 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:28,640 and that's basically excess potential and so the second type of person the trans surfing 401 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:33,920 person this so let's talk about the trans surfing person going towards their goal so 402 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:38,280 they start at the outer outer edge and they just walk towards their goal they just put 403 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:44,200 one foot forward in front of the other and then they go with the flow and an amazing 404 00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:53,320 thing happens no people along the way stop them or interrupt them maybe they'll get 405 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:58,960 some people stopping them say hey can I have help but they realize that this person is 406 00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:04,120 different and they just move along and they focus on other people so I want you to imagine 407 00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:11,600 this scene there is a big circle with a hundred people all across the circumference of the 408 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:21,000 circle the outer edge and those are goal driven people ninety nine of them are the most are 409 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:29,840 like normal people and they ninety nine of them are like the second type of person who 410 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:34,760 tries to swim and uses a lot of energy down the stream that's ninety nine of them one 411 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:41,440 of them is a trans surfer someone who has read studied and applied the principles of 412 00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:51,200 reality trans surfing that book now they all are going towards a goal which is in the dead 413 00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:58,760 center of the circle everyone can get that goal it's no like limited scarcity everyone 414 00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:08,800 can get that goal there's enough for everyone you just have to choose to get there and and 415 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:16,120 then I want you to add something to that image on the way to the goal so in between the outer 416 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:23,600 edge and the center is a lot of people thousands of people it's kind of like a marketplace 417 00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:29,640 just lots of people standing there and those are basically representing problems that arise 418 00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:37,240 in your life so let's start the simulation everyone starts moving towards the goal all 419 00:42:37,240 --> 00:42:47,240 one hundred people let's say seventy let's say all ninety okay let's say everyone arises 420 00:42:47,240 --> 00:42:55,520 with a first problem that first problem happens because you place too much importance so then 421 00:42:55,520 --> 00:43:02,040 everyone just tries all ninety nine of those normal people will try to come up with the 422 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:09,280 most complicated solution to the problem but the trans surfer will listen to the rustle 423 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:16,000 the morning stars and they will drop the importance and then remember that this was this problem 424 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:23,580 was created by the mind and they will figure out the simplest solution because nature always 425 00:43:23,580 --> 00:43:31,420 takes the path of least resistance they nature never waste energy so the transfer will figure 426 00:43:31,420 --> 00:43:36,640 out the simplest problem so that they get through the problem the same energy used just 427 00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:41,380 walking forward which they would have done anyways so basically they never experienced 428 00:43:41,380 --> 00:43:48,760 a problem but they did but it didn't really affect them now all ninety nine other people 429 00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:55,120 let's say seventy of them get through that first problem now they used a lot of energy 430 00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:59,720 to get through that first problem they had to come up with some crazy solutions because 431 00:43:59,720 --> 00:44:06,320 the mind always comes up with the most complicated solutions for the simplest problems but let's 432 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:12,840 say the twenty or the twenty nine or so other people that did not make it through their 433 00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:18,720 problem that first problem they just gave up and they gave up on their goal so now we're 434 00:44:18,720 --> 00:44:23,040 down to like I don't know the numbers I'm just gonna say let's say we're down to one 435 00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:31,840 transfer for in seventy normal people normal goal driven people alright so now the transfer 436 00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:38,000 for realize that they have to drop their importance so now that they drop their importance they 437 00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:44,120 don't experience any more goals or they don't experience any more problems along the way 438 00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:53,440 all of the people that are representing those problems just go they don't bother the transfer 439 00:44:53,440 --> 00:45:00,200 for they move on to the other seventy people and so the transfer for the way to get to 440 00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:05,560 their goal they simply just have to put one foot in front of the other and just keep repeating 441 00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:10,760 that just keep putting one foot in front of the other and keep doing little things all 442 00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:15,920 the way until they reach the goal so they basically reach the goal in the same time 443 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:20,960 that it would take to walk to the goal it's because they basically did just walk to the 444 00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:26,260 goal they just simply walk to the center of the circle so if you know what a radius is 445 00:45:26,260 --> 00:45:32,200 it's basically the distance between the center of the circle to the edge of the circle so 446 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:40,040 they basically just walked on the radius it just walked there now let's look at the other 447 00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:46,720 seventy people they came across their next goal now they've already used so much energy 448 00:45:46,720 --> 00:45:55,800 so they have to use a lot more energy on the second goal and let's say only fifty of them 449 00:45:55,800 --> 00:46:03,160 make it through that second problem and now I want you to look at their paths so the transfer 450 00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:10,080 their path was straight to the goal all of the seventy other people now fifty they're 451 00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:16,160 walking sideways diagonal they're going all different directions getting distracted by 452 00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:27,520 problems now let's say on problem three that arises fifty of them are left and then twenty 453 00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:36,640 of them fail the problem three so now there's thirty of them left and so they're closer 454 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:43,400 but their path traveled is not straight towards the goal they're going right they're going 455 00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:48,840 left they're cutting turns they're going a lot all over the place they're like a lost 456 00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:55,480 pencil drawing a scribble just aimless because all these problems are distracting them on 457 00:46:55,480 --> 00:47:05,480 their way and pulling them off course now let's repeat this simulation until they get 458 00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:11,420 closer and closer to the goal ten people drop out five more people drop out until finally 459 00:47:11,420 --> 00:47:18,640 only one normal person out of the ninety nine other people make it so only one person that 460 00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:29,160 uses normal worldview strategies makes it so that's a one percent success rate essentially 461 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:33,520 and they make it to their goal and they had to use a lot of energy and they're going to 462 00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:40,080 be happy about making that goal and then they'll share that story and everyone else will be 463 00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:45,200 inspired and wants to do the same thing so then the cycle will repeat the new simulation 464 00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:51,880 will restart all another ninety nine people will batch up but let's talk about this the 465 00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:57,560 trans surfer had a one hundred percent success rate now let's make another simulation fifty 466 00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:07,840 trans surfers fifty normal people let's say one person makes it which is a two percent 467 00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:15,240 success rate one normal person makes it which is lucky for fifty people these aren't actual 468 00:48:15,240 --> 00:48:22,760 numbers i'm making them up but i'm just representing how bad the world general worldview is compared 469 00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:29,760 to trans surfing all right so there's fifty normal people fifty trans surfers two of the 470 00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:36,920 or let's say one of the normal people actually makes it to the goal after lots of energy 471 00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:47,840 wasted and it took a lot longer too now guess how many trans surfers make it all fifty and 472 00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:56,640 it's because they just know how to make it to their goals as simply and quickly and most 473 00:48:56,640 --> 00:49:03,960 efficiently possible you just have to go with the flow because the world takes care of us 474 00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:09,600 but all of the goal driven people don't think that they think they have to fight for their 475 00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:14,640 place in the sun so they do because you get what you choose they chose to fight for their 476 00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:20,720 place in the sun and the trans surfers just chose to take just chose to go out and get 477 00:49:20,720 --> 00:49:29,880 it no nothing special about it and so that's that's how that's how important like that's 478 00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:36,040 how valuable trans surfing is because i am that's why i'm just going to constantly study 479 00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:42,280 it because that's really how you get to your goals by learning all the trans surfing principles 480 00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:48,640 and applying them because i want to be that trans surfer i don't want to be the normal 481 00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:54,440 person i will like if before i read trans surfing i was going to be the normal person 482 00:49:54,440 --> 00:50:00,040 and i may have made it i may have been the one that made it who knows i probably wouldn't 483 00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:04,720 have been because that's low odds and having wasted a lot of energy i would have given 484 00:50:04,720 --> 00:50:14,640 up but using trans surfing i'm going to get my goals with the least resistance possible 485 00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:19,040 and really the way you do it all of those people along the way all the problems that 486 00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:25,120 arise they represent pendulums and pendulums grip on to you onto your importance but if 487 00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:30,120 you don't have importance if you're empty to them then they have nothing to hold on 488 00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:38,820 to so they just die so essentially the trans surfer all of the people just stop all their 489 00:50:38,820 --> 00:50:45,040 energy around them all the problems just stop like they just cease to exist they just slow 490 00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:49,680 down if you know what a pendulum is it's like a string with something attached to it that 491 00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:57,480 like sways back and forth that's what a pendulum is in real life but in real life there's also 492 00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:05,280 pendulums it's the concept of basically problems and also like school is a pendulum so you 493 00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:11,120 and i are a pendulum this podcast is a pendulum i still don't completely understand the concept 494 00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:20,800 of a pendulum but i can give you vague definitions and all pendulums are out for their own good 495 00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:28,360 they're not they don't worry about their adherence and adherence are people who are whose thought 496 00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:35,960 waves are their thought energy is attuned to the same frequency as a pendulum and when 497 00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:41,640 that happens the pendulum's sway swings higher and higher and you're basically feeding the 498 00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:46,120 pendulum some energy and it's stealing it's feeding off of your energy so you're reducing 499 00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:57,600 your energy but let's say that pendulum tries to grip on to you but you don't have importance 500 00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:06,840 so it can't grip on to you so then the sway slows to a stop and when the pendulum happens 501 00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:13,680 so let's say you stub your toe that's a pendulum trying to get to you and you react negatively 502 00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:19,160 they got to you because you had too much importance but let's say you just don't react you slow 503 00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:26,400 their sway but there's another way you can kill a pendulum and for the for example you 504 00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:32,560 stub your toe you you laugh you get super excited that isn't an inappropriate response 505 00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:38,000 to that because no one does that the pendulum wasn't expecting that and the pendulum will 506 00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:47,400 be defeated simply by the fact that you reacted inappropriately and one of the stories that 507 00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:55,640 he told in the in the book is he was with his friend or no there was a story i'm not 508 00:52:55,640 --> 00:53:05,640 gonna tell that one i'm gonna tell this one there was a smaller dude who was in a situation 509 00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:13,680 where a gang like a real gang would he was in the gang house and they like brought him 510 00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:22,720 there unwilfully so he was forced to go there in front of the gang leader and so the person 511 00:53:22,720 --> 00:53:29,160 was like oh man this is a bad situation so he couldn't just get out of it by staying 512 00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:38,480 indifferent because if he didn't react they still would have beat him up but he reacted 513 00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:45,900 inappropriately instead of being scared and all that he like ran straight to the gang 514 00:53:45,900 --> 00:53:54,520 leader grabbed him by his ear and said do you want me to break your jaw first or rip 515 00:53:54,520 --> 00:54:00,360 off your ear first and so the gang leader got super scared and he just basically defeated 516 00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:07,040 the pendulum because all of all of the gang members were were super scared after that 517 00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:13,400 and then he was let go because they didn't want to deal with his trouble so he defeated 518 00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:21,520 the pendulum and the pendulum let him go so that's basically the power of that and pendulums 519 00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:29,600 aren't just like big things like big dangerous things like gangs it's also like the school 520 00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:39,480 for example school is a pendulum and it's also valuable things too like the gym the 521 00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:46,120 gym is pendulum everything is pendulum basically and all pendulums are destructive all pendulums 522 00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:53,960 don't care about its adherence but you just have to find your pendulums and you have to 523 00:54:53,960 --> 00:55:00,740 decide how much you want them to how deep you want them to how deep you will let them 524 00:55:00,740 --> 00:55:09,440 into you so for example for me I don't like you can't avoid pendulums it's it's a waste 525 00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:18,620 of energy to try and avoid pendulums and it goes against like nature too so that's why 526 00:55:18,620 --> 00:55:24,880 you have to find your pendulums so for example for me the gym is a is my pendulum I don't 527 00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:33,520 but I still stay indifferent to it but I use it I use it to my advantage and then if it 528 00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:41,840 pulls me in too much I just don't let that happen like I don't go all day to the gym 529 00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:46,520 I don't find the gyms extremely important you have to release your importance towards 530 00:55:46,520 --> 00:56:05,320 the gym and so you basically just have to find your own pendulums 531 00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:11,680 I'm really excited to get my new mic tomorrow I'm gonna have to figure out how to set that 532 00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:17,440 up after school I might have to go to bed late tomorrow I'm trying not to though I'll 533 00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:29,440 have to go to the gym quick eat quick get out of school quick do all that but I'm actually 534 00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:36,120 really excited for the new school year because I will have a lot more time and I'll use it 535 00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:42,120 on studying and working on my podcasts and then on the weekends I'll work on business 536 00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:53,520 stuff but I only have three periods like all my full entire high school career I always 537 00:56:53,520 --> 00:57:02,000 had eight periods so I always went to school at eight and then got out at like 311 except 538 00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:10,200 for freshman year because freshman year was weird because we were on covid it was on zoom 539 00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:14,520 and last year first semester I had one early dismissal and that was like the best thing 540 00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:20,840 ever so now I'm having literally the entire day off I just have three periods I have five 541 00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:29,680 periods off so that's gonna be awesome I'm gonna get so much progress I'm gonna grow 542 00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:37,740 so much I'm gonna learn so much I'm also excited for Russell's new book to come to me the lynch 543 00:57:37,740 --> 00:57:47,840 pin which is a he was using that funnel to upsell into funnel hacking live and I'm reading 544 00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:57,780 his extra secrets books book and he said that you use an information product to give someone 545 00:57:57,780 --> 00:58:05,120 enough knowledge to move them up your value ladder so he's using that lynch pin book to 546 00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:10,120 give me enough knowledge to prepare me for funnel hacking live because funnel hacking 547 00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:17,120 live is the next step on his value ladder it's the it's the upsell of that funnel and 548 00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:23,760 since I'm already going and I bought the book I'm definitely gonna study it before funnel 549 00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:34,280 hacking live so I can be prepared that'll be huge I'll have very good background knowledge 550 00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:42,100 and then I'll be able to learn from him himself in person so it'll just deepen my understanding 551 00:58:42,100 --> 00:58:54,440 and everything like that I could get some water yeah this episode was really good I 552 00:58:54,440 --> 00:59:04,440 think because I usually for the past couple episodes I've been having my computer on but 553 00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:09,080 today I just sat down and recorded my episode before I even turned my computer on and that 554 00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:14,640 helps with my focus a lot I'm not sure if you guys could tell I'm sure you guys can 555 00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:21,080 because over the past couple episodes I was extremely like scattered and I was literally 556 00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:26,600 like surfing the web on like episode 23 or something like that where I said everyone 557 00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:32,640 has off days and I use that as an excuse no there's no excuse that was just a very terrible 558 00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:42,440 episode but I'm keeping it out there because I want you guys to see that even I suck like 559 00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:50,020 everyone sucks and I mean I'm I still feel like even though I'm speaking very confidently 560 00:59:50,020 --> 00:59:57,480 on my podcast I go throughout the day just like everyone else it's like problems arise 561 00:59:57,480 --> 01:00:03,280 all these I'm not good at following the Transurban but I'm getting better and better every day 562 01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:10,560 and that's all that matters to wrap things up don't forget to download your favorite 563 01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:17,480 episodes and
