It is All About Consistency

1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,400 So the big question is this, how do young men like us who didn't listen to society, 2 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:13,240 who are on our own, how do we grow and improve ourselves so that we can live a better tomorrow? 3 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:18,000 That is the question and this show will give you the answers. 4 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:24,680 My name is James Radzinski and welcome to the Ascend Momentum Show. 5 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:38,200 Welcome back everyone. Excuse me. So for the past couple days I've had low energy and I'm not really 6 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:49,640 sure why but I'm just pushing through trying to get it done, you know? So I want to talk to you 7 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:57,760 about a comfort zone challenge and how I failed one today. So in the four-hour work week he talks 8 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:05,600 about at the end of many chapters he gives comfort zone challenges and it's just tasks to do that 9 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:16,600 expands your comfort zone. And one of the first ones in that book was to hold eye contact with 10 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:25,200 people and don't break it until they break it first. And so I'd been trying to hold eye contact 11 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:33,640 with people as long as possible during class like when they're talking and there's this one 12 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:39,240 girl I sit across from who I was holding eye contact with and she would not break eye contact. 13 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:49,080 She was just staring and I was like and I failed. I actually looked away. So that's shameful. I was 14 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:55,360 ashamed of looking away, of breaking the eye contact. But you live, you learn, you grow. 15 00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:08,840 So that's what happened today and then actually my brain has been so... I don't know the right 16 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:20,400 word but I've been so not fogged but it just doesn't feel optimal. My brain doesn't feel 17 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:28,480 like it's running 100%. It kind of feels like run down or tired all the time. That might be 18 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:36,080 because of all the studying that I've been doing. I don't know. But I'm learning a lot in 19 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:43,200 Transurfing and I'm really excited to finish it. I'm not even halfway done with it. I'm already 20 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:49,600 thinking about finishing but the second half in my opinion is... Well actually I don't even know 21 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:59,320 because the first time I read the Transurfing I didn't even finish the first half in one go. 22 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:05,520 And then I went back and finished the rest of the book. So I don't really remember what half 23 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:13,280 is the better half but I think that the second half is better because last night I read the last 24 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:20,400 page of the book and not the entire page but I just read the last second to last sentence and then 25 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:31,360 the a couple of the italicized phrases on the last couple of pages. And just by reading that last 26 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:39,200 page I already know that it's like valuable then. So I'm really looking forward to that. And then 27 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:50,160 also there's two... I ordered two new books from the reading list which is basically the ultimate 28 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:58,320 reading list for human beings and I ordered two new books from it. And one of them is called 29 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:06,960 Dancing After the Music Stops and I'm really excited for that book because that book is the 30 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:17,040 past three years of the author's life experience from reading all the books for the Ultimate 31 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:30,960 Human Being list and Road Trip, a three-year long road trip. And that I just read the back cover of 32 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:38,800 that book and it said something like the type of book that makes you want to quit school or drop 33 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:49,840 out of school, quit your job or even worse become a free-range non-GMO organic human being. 34 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:56,720 And so when I read that I laughed and I got really excited for the book but I'm not going to start it 35 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:09,200 until at least a month because it's going to take a while to finish Transurfing, I already know. 36 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:20,480 So there's this one thing that I try to do last night to get more listeners to the podcast. And 37 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:29,680 I basically went on Reddit and created an account and posted my podcast link on my profile and then 38 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:38,960 went on to an entrepreneur subreddit and just provided a bunch of value in hopes for people to 39 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:44,400 be like, oh that's cool, I want to click on his profile and then check out his stuff and then they 40 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:51,680 go to the podcast and start listening. But I am not going to do that. I did it for like 30 minutes 41 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:56,560 last night and I'm not going to do it anymore because it is too addicting and I know that it 42 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:02,880 will kind of screw up my mental. It'll not make me as focused. 43 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:17,200 So that's just one piece that I've been trying to do to get more viewers but that's the only thing 44 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:22,400 that I've tried to do to promote the show and it wasn't even like direct promoting, it was just 45 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:29,200 providing value to people in hopes that they would click on my profile 46 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:39,120 and see the podcast link and go on and listen. So that's not really, I mean I think that it's a 47 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:46,400 decent method to gain traffic but I don't really want to spend the time to do it. I'm just going 48 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:56,000 to rely on the algorithm to give me a bunch of traffic but I'm really looking forward to it 49 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:09,760 in the future and honestly podcasting is, it's just really fun. My friend was talking about this, 50 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:16,480 how he started podcasting like a week ago and we were talking about how fun it is and how 51 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:24,080 like life changing it is because I basically get to document my entire journey literally step by 52 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:33,360 step in real time and other people get to listen to it and like if they want copy it and they just 53 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:42,240 do exactly what I did and be successful themselves and I really believe that it's all about the mindset. 54 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:50,960 Like your worldview is huge and this is something that I've been trying to drill into my brain 55 00:07:50,960 --> 00:08:02,640 for the past couple months. So and I actually needed it today. There's a lot of times today 56 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:11,120 where I would just fall asleep and get immersed in the game but I just got to keep reminding myself 57 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:17,760 what I'm here for, keep reminding myself of the rules of the game and just keep going, 58 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:23,440 keep on going, just keep putting one foot forward in front of the other and there's one thing that 59 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:34,640 I realized last night, I was reading in Transurfing the Goals and Doors episode or chapter and in that 60 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:41,280 he said he was talking about choosing your goal and choosing your right door and your goal is 61 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:48,240 your goal. It came from your heart not imposed on you by others and the door is basically the path 62 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:58,480 towards the goal. Like you can, I'm blanking on an example, all right well you can be a, 63 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:09,920 your goal could be to go to Hawaii and move to Hawaii and your door could be a variety of things. 64 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:18,400 You could just walk there, that would take a long, I mean you could swim there, I mean it's not even, 65 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:25,840 all right you could swim there, that's a possible door or you could fly there 66 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:34,560 or you could boat there, those are all different doors to that goal and if you don't have the money 67 00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:44,240 to do any of that stuff then you can, he says in the book that money is an attribute so while 68 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:50,560 you're creating your path towards the goal, money will come to you in abundance so you're not 69 00:09:50,560 --> 00:09:54,720 supposed to worry about the money, you're just supposed to keep moving forward towards the goal 70 00:09:54,720 --> 00:10:05,520 and one thing that I realized last night and for some background towards the middle of this 71 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:14,080 past summer so maybe one or two months ago I was at the park with my friend and he had just 72 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:20,720 come back from his vacation with his family which was like one week long and he went to California 73 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:29,600 and he was surfing there a lot, he was like surfing and so he came back and he was like 74 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:37,040 do you know something that's really fun and I was like what? He said surfing and right when he 75 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:44,000 said that, that sparked something in my mind and in my brain and my heart, we're just like super, 76 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:50,480 I started to get super excited because I remembered that I used to want to surf but I've never 77 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:59,280 surfed before and so after I heard that I was thinking that's my goal, that's what I want to do, 78 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:06,000 I want to move to Hawaii and go surfing and just surf every single day and live there 79 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:16,080 so then I was focused on that and then funnel hacking live, I became aware of funnel hacking 80 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:21,680 live so then that became my second goal so my first goal was funnel hacking live and then the 81 00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:25,360 second goal was surfing because funnel hacking live was going to happen quicker 82 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:38,640 and then I read on in Transurfing and he said do not have two goals, it is like you would be 83 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:44,560 swimming in two opposite directions and you can't swim in two opposite directions, it's impossible 84 00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:49,680 so when you have two goals your thought energy has spread too thin and you achieved nothing 85 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:56,800 so then I dropped the Hawaii goal and I just basically said I'm not going there, I'm not doing 86 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:04,320 that, I basically told myself that and then I only focused on Florida and I just forgot about surfing 87 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,280 and then over time I realized that I was like lower mood because right when I 88 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:20,000 learned about surfing I was super excited and then over time I started my energy started going down 89 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:28,480 and then yesterday when I was reading the goals and doors chapter he said basically something he 90 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:35,680 said sparked, re-sparked that surfing, it was a combination of the fact that we already bought 91 00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:40,480 the plane tickets and the hotel to go to Florida so we're already going to go there, 92 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:45,840 it's already a done deal so I don't necessarily have to focus on the Florida goal anymore 93 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,240 because we're already going to do it, it's just something to look forward to 94 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:58,240 but now I get to focus on a new goal and that's Florida so that's what I'm thinking about and then 95 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:07,440 another thing I want to talk to you about is throughout the day I find that I like my mind 96 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:12,640 starts thinking about random things and I'm asleep, I fall asleep and I'm just immersed in the game 97 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:21,280 and my mind is just thinking constantly about random things and I realized that that is such a waste 98 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,960 instead of thinking about random things and all of that thought energy going to waste 99 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:35,520 focus on one thing, my goal and always keep my goal in the back of my mind 100 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:42,240 so then all of that thought energy gets hyper focused into one thing, it's 101 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:55,040 so it's the equivalent of you placing a pizza out in the sun, a cold pizza out in the sun 102 00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:01,040 and just trying to cook it, it's not going to work but if you create that 103 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:10,720 that kind of contraption that is very popular where you put like tin foil and like a mirror 104 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:21,760 or something like that and reflect the sun onto the pizza and have it in one like condensed 105 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,160 targeted location then you'll be able to 106 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:31,840 then you'll be able to actually cook the pizza and it will actually cook because 107 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:37,360 it's being focused, the energy is being focused and our thought energy is the same way, 108 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:44,480 if you're just thinking about random things all day and your mind is just talking on its own 109 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:54,400 without your influence on it, if your mind is just let off on its own to talk to itself all the time 110 00:14:54,400 --> 00:15:01,840 then that thought energy will just be like dispersed throughout everywhere, you'll be thinking about 111 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:08,320 food, you'll be thinking about TV, you'll be thinking about soccer, you'll be thinking about 112 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:15,600 phone or like just random things, you'll be thinking about all that and so your 113 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:24,880 thought energy won't have enough like focus and have enough condensed energy, like focused energy 114 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:32,640 to actually focus on one of those things and manifest it into your reality so that's what 115 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:38,400 I was thinking about today when I'm just, when my mind is just racing with its thoughts, 116 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:48,560 just change the thinking to my goal, so change the thinking to surfing in Florida 117 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,440 and then the more and more I think about that and the more and more I run my side of my head, 118 00:15:54,400 --> 00:16:02,480 the more like once it becomes background like the background thought of my head, 119 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:10,960 that's when I start moving closer and closer to the goal because there's this other technique 120 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:18,720 called the window and the frame and so it's basically throughout the day our mind just 121 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:25,040 falls asleep and does is off and releases its grip of control for an instant moment, 122 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:34,000 multiple times per day and this is like quicker than a second so in this moment if you can be 123 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:42,960 thinking about that slide, if you can think about one frame in your slide then you'll be pushed 124 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:51,520 super far ahead into that, like into that goal and there's another thing that I just remembered, 125 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:57,040 you shouldn't be thinking about the target slide because the target slide simply just 126 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:05,440 expands your comfort zone to allow yourself to actually have that and allow yourself to 127 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:12,240 believe that it's possible to actually get that but what you should do is run a slide of your 128 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:19,520 current transfer link so if you're in first grade and your goal is to graduate fifth grade well 129 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:24,480 you shouldn't be visualizing that, you shouldn't be visualizing fifth grade, you should be 130 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:32,000 visualizing finishing first grade and that's when the actual visualization actually works 131 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:39,840 and you shouldn't even just visualize that, you should visualize the process so for me my end goal 132 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:52,800 is to go to Hawaii and surf but the process in my current transfer link, I believe the current 133 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:59,920 transfer link is to check my analytics and it be a high number and then me start a coaching 134 00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:05,040 coaching program or me start coaching 135 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:14,800 and then that is one that's like the first step or that's the next process so my slide would 136 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:35,440 look like me clicking the analytics button and it being a high number, let me get some water. 137 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:42,240 So you guys will, when this episode releases you guys will definitely be, 138 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:50,240 if you're listening to it the day of, then I will definitely have checked my analytics at that point 139 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:59,280 probably because right now it's the 29th of August when I'm recording and I'm going to be 140 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:07,280 going out of town this weekend from Saturday to Monday morning and then Monday I'll be back 141 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:15,040 so I'll probably check my analytics on Monday or Tuesday depending on how things turn out 142 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,880 so then once I see that number I'll create a plan of action from there 143 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:33,760 if even if it's like 200 views 200 downloads per episode I will still probably offer a 144 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:39,680 coaching program I'll probably just make a funnel a website and then promote that. 145 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:49,360 Now I'm trying to think because I'm going to have to wait like five days 146 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:57,600 because I'm not going to be post, I'm not going to be recording this weekend so there's going to be 147 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:04,080 like two days where I don't record so right now I have seven episodes back like scheduled 148 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:13,680 so on Monday I'll probably only have five episodes scheduled so I'm gonna have to figure out a way 149 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:20,960 to contact you guys quicker or else I'm gonna have to wait five whole days to actually promote my 150 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:28,560 like the things I want to promote like the website that I'd make to offer a coaching service 151 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:36,640 or maybe I should just create the website now and then I don't know I'll figure it out because 152 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:44,560 this is episode 43 so episode 43 will be released on like Tuesday or something like that 153 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:52,880 maybe even maybe even later I don't know and it's either Monday I don't even know 154 00:20:54,000 --> 00:21:00,400 it'll I don't keep track of my schedules but it's around that time and then at that point I'll have 155 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:07,520 five episodes scheduled so then I'll have to wait until like the next weekend 156 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:17,360 until you guys actually hear me talking about what's going on it's this whole thing 157 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:27,280 there's pros and cons to me having five episodes scheduled ahead of time I like it because it gives 158 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:35,440 me a cushion just in case I forget to post one day but I don't like it because it's not like real 159 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:40,560 time it's it's like five days past so I don't know what I'll do because 160 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:49,440 I don't know I'll have to figure it out and if you guys have any opinions email me at james 161 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,840 at ascendmomentum.com 162 00:21:51,840 --> 00:22:06,320 so a couple weeks ago or a month ago I was thinking so once I got my driver's license a couple months 163 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:15,200 ago I realized that I needed a wallet to hold my stuff and so but then I didn't really want to go 164 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:24,960 out and buy a wallet so I just left my cards in my like drawer in my closet and then every time I 165 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:31,600 needed them I just put them in my pocket and leave them in my pocket but when I went to the bank 166 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:49,040 the other day to like change my pin number for my card I I noticed that in my mini travel notebook 167 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:56,960 there's a little slot where you can actually put cards in and so that is like amazing an amazing 168 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:05,360 feature so I'm actually not going to get a I'm not going to get a a wallet I'm just going to buy 169 00:23:05,360 --> 00:23:10,800 another one of these notebooks because this notebook is actually almost gone it's almost out 170 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,680 I'm probably three fourths away done with it and it's a small notebook so it goes quick 171 00:23:17,360 --> 00:23:25,200 and I use it in like spurts so during the your first or during the your first funnel challenge 172 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:34,000 I probably wrote half of the notebook worth of stuff over five days seven or five to seven days 173 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:42,880 and then I just like didn't use it since maybe like once every couple days so it's it's weird 174 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:55,760 but recently my friend actually took a testosterone test and he got the results back 175 00:23:57,360 --> 00:24:02,800 and it inspired me to want to get my own test because I want to I want to figure out what 176 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:10,080 my testosterone levels are at and so I asked my mom and she's she said she'll buy me one on my 177 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:18,320 birthday so like next month I'll I probably won't get the results back until like October around there 178 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,040 so I'll be getting I'll be able to check my testosterone levels 179 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:36,320 and a couple weeks ago I started taking pine pollen but then I stopped because I ate it all 180 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:43,040 I I used it all and I really want to start it again so I might buy the tincture again 181 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:50,400 well or I didn't buy the tincture the last time I actually bought the powder and if you guys have 182 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:56,720 never heard of pine pollen I 100 recommend it it's super good to increase your testosterone 183 00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:09,920 and the the last time I got it I got the powder form so I could just scoop it into a drink and drink it 184 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:21,040 but it is actually the tincture is actually better for testosterone they said 185 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:27,680 so I I might get the tincture next time my friend said he's gonna get the tincture 186 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:35,200 and I want to talk to you guys about something taking magnesium before bed 187 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:43,360 my friend started taking magnesium before bed maybe a week or two ago and he said that he's gotten 188 00:25:43,360 --> 00:25:49,600 good benefits and good results out of it better sleep and so I'm gonna try and get my mom to buy 189 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:59,600 me some magnesium supplement and take that before bed I probably won't get it until like this Friday 190 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:04,880 and it's Tuesday right now so we'll see 191 00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:17,680 there's this one thing that has been on in the back of my mind resurfacing to my thoughts 192 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:26,320 and it's that lately I haven't really been I haven't really had much to talk about on the podcast 193 00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:34,320 like a couple weeks ago I had a lot to talk about all the time because a lot was changing in my life 194 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:41,600 and I was making a lot of progress but now I'm kind of at a standstill and my life is pretty much 195 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:50,480 the same as it was like a week or two ago so I don't really know I don't know I'm kind of 196 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,960 kind of just stagnant right now 197 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:03,280 I'm kind of just waiting for things to happen and I'm not making things happen 198 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:09,600 so I got to figure out how to change that because I got to start living life according to my will 199 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,400 and shape my destiny according to my will 200 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:30,640 but my sleep has been so good lately I've been actually I'm not even my sleep has been good 201 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:38,080 except not perfect because in the middle of the night I always wake up at the same exact time to 202 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:50,480 go pee it's always at like 9 45 at 9 45 p.m. always that time and then and then I go back to bed 203 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:58,000 and this morning I woke up like 30 minutes before my alarm went and I have a sunrise alarm so 204 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:07,280 when I woke up this morning the alarm was going it was red because it gradually increases in 205 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:15,680 brightness and changes colors and so it was red and then I went back to bed and then when I woke 206 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:24,240 up again it was like about to go off in like three minutes but when I woke up I had this like 207 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,040 it's what I was talking about earlier how my brain just feels 208 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:38,480 tired and it just feels slow and not refreshed and I'm not really sure why but lately I haven't 209 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:46,480 been feeling like as refreshed when I wake up so that's something else I got to figure out 210 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,080 but I want to talk to you guys about this class I'm in 211 00:28:52,080 --> 00:29:01,040 in business incubator in my in school so I'm taking a class called business incubator and 212 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,840 it's basically a class for entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship 213 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:12,960 and I'm taking it with my friend Franklin as well and we're both graduating early and the class is 214 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:20,960 a two-semester class but we're only taking one semester this school year so we are supposed 215 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:28,320 to get in teams of four and group up with two like three other people but we talked to the teacher 216 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:33,600 and told him the situation and we all came to the conclusion that we should just be a group of two 217 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:40,640 and then later on we went back to my teacher and asked if we could complete the entire year 218 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:51,920 in one semester so and he said yes so I'm looking forward to that and we made our teams today 219 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:59,040 officially and so we got to sit at our own table we're at our own table today 220 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:14,960 and the business that me and my friend have decided on is to be funnel builders and we 221 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:20,320 decided to build funnels for local business owners or just anyone who needs a funnel 222 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:28,320 and I was originally thinking that we would just charge uh straight up front cost 223 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:37,200 and then my friend brought into the attention that no one would pay us up front so we should 224 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:45,920 actually charge a percentage of future sales or essentially get a piece of their business 225 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:54,400 and then that sparked something in me we could go to if if that's the case we could literally just 226 00:30:55,200 --> 00:31:00,000 go create deals with business owners and then literally just build their thing 227 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:09,200 and if it fails whatever no one's harm no harm no foul but if it succeeds then we can literally get 228 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:21,120 future profits from a real business and that's huge because that business incubator class the way it 229 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:31,600 works is everyone is in separate groups so separate teams and the and it's basically a competition 230 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:40,000 essentially so you're you're trying to make the most money and last year's team made like $3,000 231 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:49,440 from an entire year and so I'm thinking like we can definitely beat that if we just get one funnel 232 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:58,960 that it works decent then we've already got that in the bag and plus we're not going to build just 233 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:03,600 one funnel we're going to build a bunch of funnels because we're going to have like all semester for 234 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:10,240 this and plus we're going to funnel hacking live next month so we're going to learn even more 235 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:18,320 it's just I mean we're we're going to be unstoppable maybe my friend are partnering together on this 236 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:30,960 and the way it works is you all of your money gets sent into the your personal like I think it's 237 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:39,360 called rev track and it's basically a account opened under either my teacher's name or the school's 238 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:51,520 name and then we each team has their own individual like account under that and so you all the money 239 00:32:51,520 --> 00:33:00,640 you make goes into that account and then if you make a profit so let's say at the end of the year 240 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:09,680 you have like $5,000 sitting in that account my teacher said that there's two options so 241 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:18,400 all of that money gets split up between all of the group members evenly and then 242 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:27,920 it either goes towards your college tuition or it goes straight into your business bank account 243 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:34,720 if you create a a new business like if you actually go on and become an entrepreneur and start your 244 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:44,480 own business that's huge because if we focus on this and actually work towards making 245 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:52,640 like making a decent sum of money and then we can split it and then it goes into our bank accounts 246 00:33:52,640 --> 00:34:00,720 which I'm sure by December we will our business our personal businesses will have made a decent 247 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:13,680 sum of money so we won't really necessarily need that but that's cool because we would be making 248 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:19,520 money essentially by going to school which has never happened to me in my life I've never made 249 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:25,360 money going to school and I don't think anyone's ever made money going to school like at least not 250 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:34,480 normally and so this is a opportunity for me and my friend to just make money during school and also 251 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:40,480 it's not even even about it's not even about the money the money is probably we're not even gonna 252 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:46,880 like the money does not matter the reason why we chose this business model of building funnels 253 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:56,240 is because we know that that skill is a high value skill and we know that since we're going to be 254 00:34:56,240 --> 00:35:06,160 choosing this business model we will grow and learn so much simply by building funnels during class 255 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:14,560 that's all there is to it that like us doing this will help us so much in the future 256 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:22,160 like this is the first time I've ever had a class where I actually think that I'll be using the 257 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:26,000 knowledge in my life like the first time probably 258 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:33,440 except for like first grade when I was learning how to read or whenever I learned how to read I 259 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:44,160 don't remember like that and learning basic arithmetic like addition subtraction multiplication 260 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:51,600 and division so I'm really excited for that 261 00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:00,080 let me get some water 262 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,520 so 263 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:18,400 trying to think of things to talk about and that's one of the things that I'm trying to get better 264 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:27,040 at and it's to be able to get into the flow and just have things spew out there are certain episodes 265 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:32,400 in like that I've recorded in the past where I was able to just literally talk the entire time 266 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:41,440 and never have any downtime and there's also another thing so in my episodes there's a lot of 267 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:50,720 moments where I go and like get water like just then and it was a silent like it was a silent 268 00:36:50,720 --> 00:36:58,880 couple of seconds and I just want I want to ask you guys if you guys want me to cut out like 269 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:09,200 remove the silence because when I first started podcasting I was intending on having a not not 270 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:17,040 edited like show like not edited at all but I kind of feel bad because there's a lot of 271 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:22,320 moments where I'm just talking and one time a couple episodes back I actually 272 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:32,240 accidentally clicked on the remove the silence tool and my episode like length went from one 273 00:37:32,240 --> 00:37:39,920 hour long it's like 51 minutes so there was like 10 minutes of silence in that episode 274 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:47,440 so that's a lot and I'm not sure if I would if I was listening to an episode a podcast 275 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,440 and there was an a 10 minutes of silence throughout the whole thing 276 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:58,960 I'm not sure how I'd feel about that so I have two options either or actually I have three options 277 00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:07,360 ignore it or like just forget about it the second option is to edit it out which I could do with a 278 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:13,840 click of a button thanks to the software and the third option is to just get better at podcasting 279 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:18,640 to where I don't even need to worry about silence because I'll just be talking the whole time so 280 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:25,520 I like the third option and I wasn't actually conscious of that option until just now when I 281 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:30,400 was talking about it so I think I'm going to take that third option but in the meantime if you guys 282 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:38,640 want me to remove the silence you should email me and tell me at james at ascendmomentum.com 283 00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:50,640 all right so I want to tell you guys this one thing when I first started my business and I was 284 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:57,840 I literally spent like a week researching all the things I need to know about filing the business 285 00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,200 choosing the right business structure all of these things 286 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:10,720 I was overstressed and I was over meticulous because in reality all I needed to do was just 287 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:20,800 file the business as an LLC and then that's it but I ended up going on Zen business and buying 288 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:25,280 like a bunch of stuff that I didn't need I spent like $500 when in reality I should have only spent 289 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:39,040 like $150 for the filing fee like all I needed to spend was $150 and then I didn't even need to 290 00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:43,600 start the business or I didn't even need to actually form an LLC yet because 291 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:48,800 all I've done so far is just podcasting I haven't really done any business stuff 292 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:56,080 and I'm not really planning on it until I don't know when like in the near future because 293 00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:05,840 in like 20 days I'll be in like 19 or 20 days my time I'll be 18 so then I can open a business 294 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:11,600 bank account and then actually get into business but that's like 295 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:24,880 like if you guys are looking to create your own business just I mean if you're in my situation 296 00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:31,040 where you're just waiting until you're 18 until you're even gonna make money just don't even bother 297 00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:39,040 filing the business and then once you start making money and actually start making sales and stuff 298 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:49,280 then file the LLC but do not do what I did and don't go on Zen business and buy like there 299 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:59,360 I bought I don't even know what I bought I bought like their pro plan and I didn't even use any of 300 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:09,600 that stuff and then I also bought their it was I forgot what the word was but it's basically the 301 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:18,480 person who receives the legal documents and I bought I paid them to be my like that person for me 302 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:31,360 even though I could have just been that person it's like I don't even know there's there's a decent 303 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:38,720 it's all you really need is to file the LLC they were marketing me like they did good marketing 304 00:41:38,720 --> 00:41:45,920 that's for sure and they made it seem a lot well actually I'm not even sure if they made it seem 305 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:53,200 they were just educating me on it and I made it seem a lot worse than it was I they were talking 306 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:59,600 about how you need to have a it's required to have someone who receives the legal documents 307 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:07,120 and you don't want it to be you because if you get like subpoenaed you don't want to get subpoenaed 308 00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:16,320 in your like home or at your like workplace because that's embarrassing in front of your customers 309 00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:20,720 that's basically what they were saying even though I and they were also saying you have to be 310 00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:27,680 present at your work at your workplace at all business hours and I was thinking like I'm I 311 00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:32,880 don't want to be present and I was just thinking about like two months down the line to where 312 00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:39,920 where I was going to go on vacation where they weren't even gonna send me documents anyways 313 00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:47,440 honestly you don't need you need you don't need any of that all you have to do is just 314 00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:53,600 file your business just don't stress and I'm gonna be honest 315 00:42:53,600 --> 00:43:03,600 so I'm into self-improvement and I've been doing it for a prior over a prior round a year and 316 00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:13,840 over like at the beginning of summer I saw a hams of video and he was basically saying 317 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:21,200 like the next step is starting a business and the next part of your life is starting a business and 318 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:27,360 then throughout all the different aspects of my my life I realized that I can't really 319 00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:33,680 progress any further until I have more money so then I realized slowly but surely that I needed 320 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:39,440 to start a business and work on entrepreneurship so then I started reading about it and then 321 00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:45,680 eventually I actually decided to start my business and that was one of the scariest things I've ever 322 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:58,240 done let me explain there is a fear a fear exercise where you basically write out the things that the 323 00:43:58,240 --> 00:44:03,360 thing that you're afraid of and then explain like exactly what will happen if you fail succeed 324 00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,360 like all these different things I learned about in the four-hour work week 325 00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:17,040 and I was writing out my the reasons why I was scared to start my own business and file my own 326 00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:24,240 business and it was just a ridiculous I was just scared it was just my mind holding me back 327 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:29,520 and after like four days I just pulled the trigger and actually did it 328 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:38,400 and nothing bad happened I mean nothing really good happened yet but I'm just at the beginning 329 00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:43,680 of my journey and I know that it takes time for things to happen so it's not gonna happen overnight 330 00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:49,440 but I'm really looking I'm really excited 331 00:44:49,440 --> 00:45:01,280 I'm just the honestly a monthly like even okay let's say the beginning of 2022 332 00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:10,560 you know how people have New Year's resolutions it was like December 31st and I was thinking like oh 333 00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:16,000 people have New Year's resolutions I'm not gonna do that I never do New Year's resolutions 334 00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:25,920 I just make my goals when I feel like them and then I achieve them but what I was thinking about 335 00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:36,400 eight like nine months ago on December 31st I was thinking that oh I wish that I had tracked my 336 00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:42,400 progress one year ago today so I can actually look back and see oh that's where I was one year ago 337 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:49,760 today like I wish I tracked all my stats so then I took advantage of that time and I actually wrote 338 00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:58,000 down all of my stats on like I think I wrote it down on like December 1st or not December 1st 339 00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:05,840 January 1st I wrote down all my stats for the new year with the intent to improve on pretty much all 340 00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:15,120 of them and the only stats I really wrote down were mostly just like my lifting and my physique 341 00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:22,160 and like how much I weighed all these different things that's all I really wrote down and then 342 00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:29,680 I did write down my income and I wrote down my income at the end and I was thinking oh whatever 343 00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:37,520 this is this is probably not gonna change but it's worth I might I might as well write it down 344 00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:43,600 because I was just thinking for more I was just trying to think about more things to say more 345 00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:54,320 things to write down but I actually think that I'm gonna reread that like all that all those stats 346 00:46:54,320 --> 00:47:01,920 on the same day like December 31st at the end of the year and I'm gonna reread it and I'm gonna 347 00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:10,320 like write down right next to it all of my new stats and I'm really excited because 348 00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:20,480 like I I've never done that before have an entire year of new stats and I'll share those with you 349 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:26,560 guys when the when the day comes in like four months or three months actually yeah four months 350 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:38,720 wow four months nine ten eleven twelve four months until the next year so that means in four months 351 00:47:38,720 --> 00:47:47,200 I'll be a I'll be a graduate like I'll be done with high school that's amazing I'll be an adult 352 00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:57,440 in four months that's crazy where was that four months ago January February March April April 29th 353 00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:05,280 I was in class probably four months ago I was probably reading a book actually four months 354 00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:10,880 ago today right now I was reading let's see what was I reading it was probably like 355 00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:20,560 it might have actually been reality Transurfing because I got that book in March 356 00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:31,040 and I were no it was probably meditations or the way the superior man I was probably reading 357 00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:40,800 the way the superior man around that wow I hadn't even read reality Transurfing four months ago 358 00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:51,040 like completely and now in four months I'll be oh my gosh this is this is why self-improvement is so 359 00:48:51,040 --> 00:49:01,280 great because four months ago I was like I didn't even know anything about mindset and I was just my 360 00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:08,320 mind like I didn't have any control over my mind now today I have a lot more control over my mind 361 00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:18,160 not as good as I want but I have a lot of control over my mind and I'm like getting a lot better 362 00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:25,520 and then in four months from today in the future wow things are going to be way different 363 00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:34,240 I'm in a very unique situation I'm in like I'm very grateful for my situation because I 364 00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:42,320 all my life I'd been disliking school and I never really could figure out exactly why 365 00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:48,080 I would always just say I'm never going to use it in life but I didn't realize that it was 366 00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:55,600 a whole system like there's an actual system about it and I'm starting to uncover the truth 367 00:49:56,240 --> 00:50:00,560 by reading reality Transurfing even though it's not directly talking about school 368 00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:06,720 and then I already know that this reading lists this next reading list that I'm going to follow 369 00:50:06,720 --> 00:50:11,920 the ultimate reading list for human beings I was reading through it and he was talking about how 370 00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:20,480 you'll soon discover the truth and then his book the guy that made the reading list wrote a book 371 00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:26,960 about the past three years of his experience which includes all of those books that he read on the 372 00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:36,720 reading list and I like flipped through like you know how people just sift their thumb to flip 373 00:50:36,720 --> 00:50:42,960 through all the pages of a brand new book I did that on his book when it came last night and one 374 00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:50,320 of the pages I accidentally like landed on he was like the heading of that page was called the school 375 00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:56,320 system and I like read it and he was saying that the school system is like bad but I didn't really 376 00:50:56,320 --> 00:51:03,600 read it I kind of just glanced at it and saw that so I'm really looking forward to it I'll be able 377 00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:13,520 to learn a lot and the thing is at the end like I already said this but the back cover of the book 378 00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:21,280 said it's the type of book that will make you want to drop out of school and I have four months until 379 00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:34,320 I'm a graduate but if I read this book and discover a lot of new stuff I'll be like I'm afraid because 380 00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:43,360 I might want to drop out I don't know I'm not making any plans because I haven't even made 381 00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:58,320 any money yet so I'm still financially dependent that's all there is to it financial dependency 382 00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:07,360 is I dislike it a lot I hate being dependent on for my financials I want to be in control of my 383 00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:14,320 financials that's one of the biggest reasons why I wanted to start my own business so I can make 384 00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:23,600 my own money because I hate not being in control of my money because I hate worrying about spending 385 00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:39,520 too much that's like the terrible it's a poor mindset let me get some water 386 00:52:39,520 --> 00:53:00,240 I'm just thinking about my closet and I have a bookshelf in my closet 387 00:53:00,240 --> 00:53:11,200 and I probably have like 100 books in there no not 100 books probably like less than 50 books 388 00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:19,760 around 50 maybe and half of them I didn't even read and when I was first getting to business I 389 00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:26,960 literally just bought all the books I looked up books for business like books for entrepreneurs 390 00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:30,720 and then I just bought all of them and I only read like one of them 391 00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:40,400 so that was a waste and right now I don't have any intent on reading the rest maybe in the future 392 00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:47,600 but and then now I'm tempted to buy like five more books from this new reading list but I'm 393 00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:56,560 not even like I'm really certain that I'll read it but I don't know I'm trying I want to try but I 394 00:53:56,560 --> 00:54:01,760 keep thinking about this new reading list but I'm still not even halfway done with Transurfing 395 00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:08,560 it's going to take another at least another month to finish Transurfing no at least another like 396 00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:19,920 20 days at least but so I just got to lock in focus on Transurfing and that's really all there is to 397 00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:32,400 it once I'm done with that then I'm really excited to be okay this is a terrible mindset that I have 398 00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:38,960 right now I'm so excited to just finish Transurfing get it over with but this book has the answers 399 00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:48,560 at my fingertips and I have to I should like treat it as such I shouldn't try and rush through it 400 00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:53,520 like I was just thinking about how I'm gonna go back and study another hour after this episode 401 00:54:53,520 --> 00:55:01,840 and try and get a little bit more of Transurfing done but yes study more but don't try and rush it 402 00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:07,440 that's the mistake I made last time and I barely even picked anything up on Transurfing 403 00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:15,200 but the first half of the book I studied like religiously over the past month and a half 404 00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:22,880 and I've changed like my mind is shaping like it's changed so much I'm actually 405 00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:30,400 it's actually helping so much and just rushing through it and reading as quick as possible 406 00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:36,240 is not gonna do that it's not like I'm I'm reading it so I can change my life I'm not 407 00:55:36,240 --> 00:55:46,400 reading it just to read it so I have to treat it as such that's like honestly that's one of the 408 00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:53,600 biggest things that I have with reading I always read and then I search for the next book to read 409 00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:58,880 right after I'm done with this one but I gotta just focus on the present and focus on this current 410 00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:05,120 book and then soak up all the knowledge and information off of this current book that's all 411 00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:10,480 like that's one of my biggest flaws when it comes to reading because I'm always trying to look for 412 00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:17,920 the next thing but I have the answers at my fingertips and I just have to actually see them 413 00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:18,800 and apply them 414 00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:32,240 so my bolt score has not increased since yesterday 415 00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:43,520 and but I have added I have been conscious of the exercises because there's this one exercise 416 00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:49,520 I do it's a nose unblocking exercise that's the only exercise that I remember on that 417 00:56:50,720 --> 00:56:56,960 and so that's the only one I do but I you're supposed to do it while you're moving around 418 00:56:56,960 --> 00:57:02,400 like walking but you can do it while you're biking though it's not recommended I do it anyways 419 00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:11,600 and while I'm biking it's way harder I can only do like 15 pedals 420 00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:19,680 and plus I'm like way more nervous to do it because I get like lightheaded kind of 421 00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:28,000 or my blood like rushes to my head and then I start to like zone out and so I don't want to 422 00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:34,560 push it too hard while I'm biking because I'm in the street while I'm doing it so I don't know 423 00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:42,720 but I can definitely tell that I'm starting to get better because 424 00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:47,920 throughout the day I'm starting to breathe a little bit better 425 00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:53,520 my breathing has become more gentle and relaxed like it should be 426 00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:59,680 it's a slow process and it takes a decent amount of time to train your breath and I should know 427 00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:05,040 because I didn't do it last time when I actually read the books because I read the books maybe like 428 00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:14,240 a year ago and I over the past year I hadn't even trained my breath at all so things are changing 429 00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:20,560 and I actually think that I desired to train my breath but I never really had the consistency 430 00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:27,840 but now I actually am a lot better with consistency whenever I add something to my routine I just 431 00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:34,160 do it and I've gotten a lot better for example I added so there's this medicine ball that I bought 432 00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:39,920 to get better balance for surfing even though I'm not even a surfer I've never surfed in my life 433 00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:46,960 but once I start surfing then that medicine ball will like I'll be at an advantage because I'll have 434 00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:56,400 better balance but that medicine ball I bought because my friend told me it's very good to help 435 00:58:56,400 --> 00:59:03,520 balance and so I bought it I originally like practiced by doing squats on it and then I would 436 00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:12,640 just stand on it but then over the past like week or two I started walking around on it and also 437 00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:20,080 standing on one foot now for some weird reason my left foot is better than my right foot at it 438 00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:26,720 at standing on balancing on one foot even though I am a righty and when I play soccer I my better 439 00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:36,880 foot is my right foot so I don't know but I've been I have still been focusing on that ball 440 00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:45,520 that ball actually I think it's only been like wait has it only been like five days 441 00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:56,880 no way no it hasn't been I'd have to go back and check maybe it's been like 20 days I don't know 442 00:59:58,000 --> 00:59:59,360 but the ball I got 443 00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:08,640 and now I can walk around on it I can walk all the way across my kitchen so like 20 feet is my record 444 01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:17,200 and it's all about consistency consistency is one of the it's literally the best thing 445 01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:24,960 for getting good at something and that's why I've been consistent for 43 days on podcasting 446 01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:34,080 so I don't know it's I mean all there is to is consistency like on YouTube all the YouTubers 447 01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:40,720 are like all the people who make it on YouTube make it because they're consistent they're consistent 448 01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:47,600 because like they make it because the algorithm likes consistency and it rewards for that consistency 449 01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:53,840 but they also make it because they're consistent practice and they're consistent 450 01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:58,640 recording every day they're practicing every single day so they're getting better and better every day 451 01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:03,200 so then they actually eventually are able to make that better higher quality content 452 01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:10,880 unlike if they weren't consistent they wouldn't have had as much practice and so I've had 43 episodes 453 01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:17,920 at least at least 43 episodes worth of practice so that's something to keep in mind it's if you can 454 01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:27,040 get good at consistency and master consistency then I mean there's no way you can fail like 455 01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:32,880 that's all there is to it to wrap things up don't forget to download your favorite episodes and 456 01:01:32,880 -->
