00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,500
One morning I was really doubting myself. I was really doubting my future. My thoughts were like rampaging.
2
00:00:09,500 --> 00:00:15,500
Like it was so crazy. I was like am I gonna achieve my goals? Like am I even doing enough? Am I good enough?
3
00:00:15,500 --> 00:00:20,000
Am I even like is this the right thing for me?
4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,500
Which is funny because I was extremely confident a couple of weeks ago.
5
00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:30,500
Even like just the day before that.
6
00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:38,500
And so I was walking around the park in the morning. Just literally just like my mind's wild. It's going crazy with doubt.
7
00:00:38,500 --> 00:00:49,500
And you know what I did? All of a sudden I just was like no! No! Screw doubt! Screw doubt!
8
00:00:49,500 --> 00:00:56,500
Doubters are losers and losers doubt. It goes both ways.
9
00:00:56,500 --> 00:01:06,500
Anytime you have doubt obliterate it because you know what? You can't obliterate with logic.
10
00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:12,500
I was walking around. I was like trying to convince myself. I was doubting. But I was trying to convince myself.
11
00:01:12,500 --> 00:01:20,500
Oh! If I just do this. Oh! This is what I'm doing. Oh! Look how good I've gotten. Oh! Like this. That's logic. No.
12
00:01:20,500 --> 00:01:30,500
Logic does not work when you're in an emotional state. You have to bring yourself to this state.
13
00:01:30,500 --> 00:01:39,500
A better emotional state. So when you're doubting you're like oh no. Oh no. The only way to get out of it is with emotion.
14
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:49,500
Emotion. That's all it takes. And then once you brought yourself to a peaceful calm mind.
15
00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:55,500
Or at least a hype excited mind punching things. That's what I was doing that morning.
16
00:01:55,500 --> 00:02:01,500
I was walking around the park literally a children's playground at five in the morning because that's where I work out.
17
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:11,500
And I literally right when I had that epiphany punched a metal structure. It hurt really bad.
18
00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:20,500
But you know what I did after that? Ran around the park and then there was like this set of bongos right here that like you know like the drums that it's just at the park.
19
00:02:20,500 --> 00:02:30,500
They had that and I was just like. I was just playing. I was vibing. I brought myself to an emotional level.
20
00:02:30,500 --> 00:02:36,500
That was good enough to listen to logic because I was doubting. I was down here.
21
00:02:36,500 --> 00:02:50,500
I had to raise my emotion to a level that's malleable through logic because I was closed off doubting causes you to close off because that's like your natural instincts.
22
00:02:50,500 --> 00:03:03,500
But you know, know it doesn't. Being excited when you're joyful or hype or excited or literally just run around going crazy in that extremely emotional state.
23
00:03:03,500 --> 00:03:08,500
That's where decisions happen. People make decisions based off of emotion.
24
00:03:08,500 --> 00:03:18,500
So if you can bring yourself to an emotional state, that's when you can actually convince yourself that you are actually going to achieve your goals.
25
00:03:18,500 --> 00:03:31,500
And another thing is that once you're actually like back to emotion, you got to convince yourself through logic and reinforce it because that day, like in the morning I was hype.
26
00:03:31,500 --> 00:03:36,500
I was excited. But then like after a little bit kind of like died down a little bit.
27
00:03:36,500 --> 00:03:42,500
And then I had to literally sit down in my room. This is exactly what I did.
28
00:03:42,500 --> 00:03:51,500
I sat down in my room, took out my journal in my pen, literally just sat there for like 40 minutes drawing pictures and graphs.
29
00:03:51,500 --> 00:04:00,500
Trying to convince myself logically that I'm doing the right thing. And then this is what people who have seen success in my field did.
30
00:04:00,500 --> 00:04:05,500
And this is exactly what I'm doing. So it'll just take a little bit time.
31
00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:07,500
You got to convince yourself logically.
32
00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:12,500
Draw pictures, draw graphs, whatever works for you, just do it.
33
00:04:12,500 --> 00:04:20,500
Like I literally sat there and I was like, okay, what are the traits that I have to develop to achieve my goals?
34
00:04:20,500 --> 00:04:27,500
Well, influence, storytelling, YouTube skills, blah, blah, blah.
35
00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:30,500
I listed literally like 15 traits.
36
00:04:30,500 --> 00:04:39,500
And then I was like, okay, well, I'm familiar with Pareto's law. 80% of your actions give you 20% of the results.
37
00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:42,500
20% of your actions give you 80% of the results.
38
00:04:42,500 --> 00:04:46,500
So I'm like, okay, screw all of these traits. Let me pick three.
39
00:04:46,500 --> 00:04:53,500
So I sit there for like five minutes. I'm like, okay, I pick three. I circle the three most important ones.
40
00:04:53,500 --> 00:05:04,500
And it's patience, influence, and passion.
41
00:05:04,500 --> 00:05:07,500
So then I was like, okay, so what does this mean?
42
00:05:07,500 --> 00:05:11,500
Like how can I draw a picture? Because I like drawing pictures.
43
00:05:11,500 --> 00:05:16,500
So I'm like, okay, so drawing a picture. I'm like, I like drawing a house.
44
00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:23,500
So I'm going to represent these three kind of traits that I want to develop into a house.
45
00:05:23,500 --> 00:05:27,500
So I draw the foundation. I'm like, okay, it's obvious. Patience is the foundation.
46
00:05:27,500 --> 00:05:31,500
Like without patience, everything crumbles.
47
00:05:31,500 --> 00:05:36,500
And then things got a little tricky because I was like, okay, I've got the walls and then I've got the roof.
48
00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:42,500
Which trait is the wall and which trait is the roof between influence and passion?
49
00:05:42,500 --> 00:05:50,500
So I was like, I don't really know. And I remember back to like science class and whatever.
50
00:05:50,500 --> 00:05:55,500
And I was thinking, oh, independent variables and then dependent variables.
51
00:05:55,500 --> 00:06:00,500
Which one is dependent on the other? I don't know. I never understood that stuff.
52
00:06:00,500 --> 00:06:05,500
So I was stumped. Like that didn't help me. So I was like, I don't know.
53
00:06:05,500 --> 00:06:12,500
And so then I asked myself, which one can go without the other?
54
00:06:12,500 --> 00:06:21,500
And then which one amplifies the other? So it was pretty obvious after that influence can go without passion.
55
00:06:21,500 --> 00:06:25,500
But passion can't go without influence. So like you can have all the passion in the world,
56
00:06:25,500 --> 00:06:29,500
but if you don't have influence, no one's going to listen to you.
57
00:06:29,500 --> 00:06:32,500
But if you have all the influence in the world, you don't have passion.
58
00:06:32,500 --> 00:06:36,500
Like you can still influence people. So I'm like, okay, now it's obvious.
59
00:06:36,500 --> 00:06:45,500
Draw the walls of the house. That's influence. And then passion is the roof.
60
00:06:45,500 --> 00:06:51,500
So then I'm like, okay, what does this mean?
61
00:06:51,500 --> 00:06:58,500
Well, then I drew a graph. I was like, because my goal is like be a successful YouTuber.
62
00:06:58,500 --> 00:07:03,500
So I drew a graph and I was like, what does it look like?
63
00:07:03,500 --> 00:07:09,500
What does a YouTuber's journey look like? Just starting from scratch, zero skills.
64
00:07:09,500 --> 00:07:18,500
Well, I knew it. It was pretty much nothing, nothing, nothing, no results until all of a sudden you get results.
65
00:07:18,500 --> 00:07:24,500
Like it's an exponential up there. So I drew that and then on the X axis, it was time.
66
00:07:24,500 --> 00:07:32,500
And then the Y axis, it was results, which is like views, subscribers, money, whatever, any results.
67
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:39,500
So then I was like, okay, so where am I right now? Well, I'm at the nothing part. I'm no results.
68
00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:45,500
Which I've been here for like seven months. I'm getting used to it. So I have displayed patience.
69
00:07:45,500 --> 00:07:52,500
My foundation is set. I am patient, even though I'm a little uncomfortable with the patients, I am patient.
70
00:07:52,500 --> 00:07:59,500
So that is set. Now all that remains is building the next step of the house, which is the walls, building my influence.
71
00:07:59,500 --> 00:08:09,500
So then I was like, okay, good. I just got to focus on influence now. And then passion will come because passion is important, but it's an amplifier.
72
00:08:09,500 --> 00:08:17,500
So the way I see it is you kind of without passion.
73
00:08:17,500 --> 00:08:24,500
Okay, so passion multiplies your skills. So if your skill is zero, passion can be infinite.
74
00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:28,500
But infinite times zero is just zero. So it doesn't really matter.
75
00:08:28,500 --> 00:08:34,500
So that means you have to actually have bring your skill up to passion and then that's kind of where the results happen.
76
00:08:34,500 --> 00:08:38,500
So then I went back to my graph and I was like, okay, which one?
77
00:08:38,500 --> 00:08:45,500
Like what are where do each of the skills, like the three traits play?
78
00:08:45,500 --> 00:08:57,500
So it was pretty obvious. The first, like the initial phase of literally no results is just me building my skills, using patience.
79
00:08:57,500 --> 00:09:03,500
So that's like patience and building your skills, building your influence and also passion kind of too.
80
00:09:03,500 --> 00:09:09,500
But then like once it begins to turn, the graph begins to turn and it starts to go up.
81
00:09:09,500 --> 00:09:21,500
That is kind of when people start to notice. I was like, oh, well, that's kind of where your skills actually start to become presentable.
82
00:09:21,500 --> 00:09:29,500
Like if you go back to pretty much any YouTubers first videos, there's a reason why they didn't succeed.
83
00:09:29,500 --> 00:09:35,500
It's because those videos weren't presentable to the public. They just weren't good enough.
84
00:09:35,500 --> 00:09:46,500
And then once the YouTubers started to pop off, that is where you actually, that's where your skills actually catch up to your passion level.
85
00:09:46,500 --> 00:09:54,500
So then that's where the results start to happen. And then after that, your passion just amplifies your skills and your channel skyrockets.
86
00:09:54,500 --> 00:09:59,500
So that's kind of like my thought process on my goals.
87
00:09:59,500 --> 00:10:12,500
And what I didn't tell you is that to actually figure out my, like the three variables or the three traits that I actually use,
88
00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:24,500
I listed them all out, but in order to actually figure out all of the variables, what I did was I basically drew a picture of a representational picture of where I was before,
89
00:10:24,500 --> 00:10:29,500
or at least where I first started my YouTube channel. So that was seven months ago.
90
00:10:29,500 --> 00:10:35,500
When I first started my YouTube channel was seven months ago.
91
00:10:35,500 --> 00:10:43,500
And that was just like a tiny little stick figure. It was like weak, short stick figure, just representational,
92
00:10:43,500 --> 00:10:55,500
because I can visualize things on paper using a physique because I like lifting weights. So I can kind of like, that's just what I understand.
93
00:10:55,500 --> 00:11:02,500
So physique, weak. And then on the next spot was current, like where I'm at right now.
94
00:11:02,500 --> 00:11:10,500
And it's still a stick figure, but starting to grow some muscle, like getting a bicep, like getting a little bicep growing, like,
95
00:11:10,500 --> 00:11:23,500
but it's not quite there yet. And then I was like, okay, what does it look like where I've achieved the final results, the epitome of the goal?
96
00:11:23,500 --> 00:11:31,500
Well, that guy, frickin' massive. And I drew him out. He's not a stick figure. He's a massive dude.
97
00:11:31,500 --> 00:11:37,500
So then I was like, okay, what do I have to do to get from stick figure to jacked dude?
98
00:11:37,500 --> 00:11:48,500
Well, if you're lifting weights, all you got to do is train. And if you are a YouTuber, like me, all you got to do is record.
99
00:11:48,500 --> 00:11:56,500
So I was like, okay, well, figure out what traits and then just record. So that's kind of how I dealt with my doubt.
100
00:11:56,500 --> 00:12:06,500
First, you got to deal with like emotion. You have to bring yourself to an emotional level because public speakers and people who are very influential,
101
00:12:06,500 --> 00:12:15,500
they don't try and, if they have a crowd of like doubters or people that are not on the same wavelength as them, they don't just say logic to them.
102
00:12:15,500 --> 00:12:22,500
They don't just use logic. What they do first is they bring them to an emotional level on the same plane as them.
103
00:12:22,500 --> 00:12:31,500
Because that's how you actually win people over. That's how you change their minds. Because they're not like, people are emotional creatures.
104
00:12:31,500 --> 00:12:41,500
They don't make decisions based off logic. They actually make decisions based off emotion. So all you got to do is bring the person to the same emotional level as you,
105
00:12:41,500 --> 00:12:49,500
and then you can use logic. So that's, that's like, that's my framework on destroying doubt.
106
00:12:49,500 --> 00:13:04,500
Use emotion, freaking obliterate the crap out of your doubt, and then to reinforce it, all you got to do is use logic and literally sit down with your journal and write down a bunch of notes,
107
00:13:04,500 --> 00:13:17,500
draw pictures and convince yourself exactly, literally just walk yourself through how to achieve your goal. That's like, just remind yourself that's all there is to it.
