Transcripts
recently I've been working for 5 hours
straight at a time on whatever project
I'm working on whether it be editing a
video scripting
videos whatever it may be I am working
like a animal right and I used
to not be able to do this and I'm going
to tell you exactly how you can make the
same transformation that I did going
from a lazy piece of to a
productive who actually
gets stuff done now this one is either
going to make you click off the video or
you're actually really going to learn
from it but the first thing that I did
the biggest change that I made in my
life was that I got a job I know that
sounds crazy because you would think oh
you have a full-time job well now you
have less time to work but what it
actually does is it gives me way less
time for distractions and if I actually
want to get my business work done I have
to lock in on my days off like I have to
just wake up in the morning I go outside
I get some sunlight I exercise because
you know that gives you energy so you
can get your blood flowing and get ready
to work for the day and then I just sit
down on my desk and I just go h
like I'm I'm literally an animal on my
days off like I've been sitting here
since like 9:00 a.m. and let me check
the time it's 10:20 at night I've been
sitting here for over 12 hours just
going crazy on my business right
and I I I used to be just like you guys
I used to lay in that bed all day on my
phone scrolling Tik Tok watching YouTube
videos watching Netflix on my TV up
there you know hitting my vape hitting
my dab pin whatever it may be I used to
be like that right but I got a job and
now I have less time for that and I
actually have to spend my time wisely
focusing on high leverage tasks such as
recording YouTube videos now another
thing I did was I deleted social media
and this was a really big crutch for me
because I was making all these excuses
for why I had like Snapchat and
Instagram on my phone I was like oh I'm
trying to start a Content creation
business so I'm going to have Instagram
on my phone so I can see if people are
dming me and whatever right but when
you're not using social media to produce
content and instead you're using it to
consume content you're up your
dopamine receptors making yourself way
less productive and you're using it as a
crutch right cuz you think you're using
it for business but if you're not
posting on there every day you're not
using it for business you're just using
it for fun time right to stimulate your
brain which is a major no no and I had
Snapchat because I was like okay well
all my friends use Snapchat like nobody
my age I'm 21 it's crazy that people
still like aren't really texting that
much like people are still using
SnapChat like they're like middle
schoolers but like that's what my
friends use right for communication it's
like the number one source and I was
like I have to have this because like
I'm going to lose friends right and I'm
like oh I'm going to lose snap streaks
dude who gives a about a snap
streak but yeah like I was that guy I
was like I can't get rid of Snapchat I
have to have it but once I deleted it
and I went like a few days without it I
was like oh my God this is refreshing
I'm excited to work on business I can
actually get stuff done this is great
and there's no looking back after it
like I do get on there from time to time
just to see if there's like any
important messages but like if you check
Snapchat for thing in the day your day
is ruined like you're cook bro like
you're not going to get anything done
trust me like I used to be the dude who
would literally wake up first thing I
would do grab my phone boom Snapchat I
would be seeing what hoes were texting
me you're not going to win in business
if you're doing that like it's just
impossible the next thing I did was I
changed myself image now you may be
thinking what the like how do you
do that well what you do is you grab a
piece of paper and you write down the
characteristics that you want to have
and when I was doing this process I was
writing down way more things than just
being productive right I was writing
down oh I want to be a business owner
that makes this much money I want to
look like this I want to talk to these
type of girls I want to live here I want
to do this on a daily basis boom boom
boom wrote it all down then after you
wrote it all down you want to take a few
minutes out of your day and just
visualize what your life would be like
just sit there and just be like man I
want to wake up in my like 50th story
Penthouse with my sexy girlfriend next
to me roll out of bed boom check my
phone stripe notifications money coming
in walk outside have a couple coffee on
my balcony while I look at the like this
is the type of stuff you have to think
about right and when you when you do
this like for a week maybe like you'll
start to notice these small changes in
your behavior and one of the small
changes I noticed was that I was hyper
motivated to work like like insanely
motivated to work like it was all I
could think about was like making
YouTube videos and like getting ready to
launch a course all this stuff I was
like boom like I'm like I have to do
this stuff to reach my new self-image
because cuz I'm not there yet right so I
have catching up to do it's crazy but
this stuff actually works guys like I
would I would turn the video off right
now and just write down exactly what you
you want your life to be like a year
from now two years from now and then
visualize it every day for like a week
like dude it takes like 3 to 5 minutes a
day like if you don't have time for that
then just click off this video like I
don't I don't want you watching my stuff
because you're a yeah bro it works
like now I can work literally all day
long doing boring ass task but like it's
fun no more scrolling on Instagram no
more scrolling on Tik Tok no more
watching PornHub I'm doing grown man
now like I'm a grown man I'm 21
years old so I have to do this right but
the reason I wasn't doing it is because
my self-image was still stuck in like
sophomore year high school where I was a
little kid and I was a
degenerate so you have to update your
self-image and the best way to do this
is to update it a few years ahead of
where you're actually at because then
you have that catching up to do and
you're like oh it lights a fire
under your ass and you're like I got to
go I got to go because like I'm it it
it's like like this is the best way to
explain it it's like you already
achieved success and you lost it you're
back to square one but you're like oh my
God I am successful I know I am so you
start doing the stuff that makes you
successful it's it's crazy but I promise
you it works some other things that I
did were I stopped smoking I stopped
drinking big problems for me while I was
at University hanging out with
degenerates it just bro like if you
drink like you're you're up for a
few days you just are like you're not
going to get anything done for a few
days if you smoke weed all you're going
to look forward to every single day is
smoking weed like you're not going to
look forward to working so therefore
you're not going to
work another thing that I started
implementing recently is I don't eat
carbs at breakfast or lunch I only eat
carbs at dinner because carbs make you
tired they make your brain move slow
because all the energy is being used to
digest the carbs they're the hardest
food to digest and you can't focus on
work like it literally makes you want to
go to sleep that's why sometimes you
guys will eat like a big ass burger for
lunch and then an hour later you'll be
like holy like it's time to take a
nap because your body's expending so
much energy trying to break that down
another big one is you need to write
down one task at a time why do you need
to do this why don't you want to like
write out like every single task that
you had to do for the next day because
when you write down one task at a time
you're probably going to get that task
done but when you write down like 20
task you might do like two of them but
when you write down one task and you get
it done you're like okay what do I need
to do now you write down your next one
boom you get it done then you're on a
roll you just keep doing it all day and
you end up getting a lot of done
because you focus on one thing at a time
and humans can't multitask I don't give
a how good you think you are at
multitasking dude you're going to lose
to people like me who are actually
focusing really intensely on one thing
at a time like that's just how humans
work like we're good at doing one thing
at a time we're not good at doing three
things at a time it's really hard to be
good at that also you need to practice
deep work like you're not just going to
become good at it like when I started
getting better at working longer I was
working for like maybe an hour or two at
a time today I was working in like 5 six
hour blocks like it's crazy but like
when you practice it for a few weeks you
become pretty good at getting work done
it's it's crazy that like practice
actually improves you but yeah when you
apply this to business you do get better
few other things uh I currently have a
nicotine pouch in nicotine and caffeine
my favorite stimulants in the world it
literally makes me work like a
crackhead like I'm just like dialed in
highly recommend try it maybe get you a
Celsius maybe get you some snooze from
Sweden yeah shout out snoo direct even
though you guys tax for shipping um
lastly I I know I said this at the
beginning of the video but you guys need
to get some sun in the morning you need
to get at least a little bit of exercise
in like I don't care if it's like 10
push-ups just something to get your
blood flowing right because it it wakes
up your mind and it just gets you ready
to work so I hope that you guys learned
something in this video like it's
impossible that if you watched it this
far you didn't learn anything like
that's just impossible because I told
you a lot of valuable stuff I hope you
implement it as well and I'll see you in
the next one
