Q & A
What is the main theme of the video script?
-The main theme of the video script is the metaphorical comparison of life to a video game, exploring perspectives from psychology, metaphysics, self-help, and business to understand and improve one's life experiences.
How does the script suggest life can be similar to a video game?
-The script suggests that life can be similar to a video game in terms of structured flow of information, the need to process information efficiently, and the concept of leveling up or progressing through overcoming challenges.
What is the significance of the 'flow state' mentioned in the script?
-The 'flow state' is described as an optimal state of consciousness where a person is fully immersed in an activity, leading to increased productivity and enjoyment. It is achieved when a person's skills match the opportunities for action and they focus their attention on realistic goals.
How does the script relate the concept of 'psychic entropy' to maintaining order in consciousness?
-Psychic entropy refers to the natural tendency of the mind to move toward disorder if not focused or maintained through conscious effort. The script relates it to the need for maintaining order in consciousness by focusing attention on meaningful tasks and avoiding distractions that can lead to chaos.
What is the 'focus matrix' introduced in the script and how can it be used?
-The 'focus matrix' is a concept introduced to identify where one's focus lies and how it affects their feelings and state of mind. It consists of four states: unconscious narrow focus, unconscious open focus, conscious narrow focus, and conscious open focus. It can be used to understand one's current state and move towards a desired state of focus.
How does the script discuss the idea of life as a simulation from a metaphysical perspective?
-The script discusses the idea of life as a simulation by referencing Donald Hoffman's theory that human perception is a user interface designed for survival, which may not accurately represent the true nature of reality. It suggests that our perceptions are limited and designed to help us navigate the world effectively.
What is the role of 'information processing' in determining the quality of life according to the script?
-According to the script, the quality of life depends on how we process information. It emphasizes the importance of having a fast 'mental metabolism' to digest information effectively, and the need to progressively expose oneself to more complex information to handle difficult situations.
How does the script connect the concept of 'consciousness' to the idea of life as a game?
-The script connects consciousness to the idea of life as a game by suggesting that as we become more efficient at processing information, our conscious mind can focus on what is deemed meaningful, while the unconscious mind manages a larger amount of information, allowing for personal growth and adaptation to new challenges.
What is the 'solopreneur sprints' mentioned in the script and its purpose?
-The 'solopreneur sprints' is a program mentioned in the script designed to help individuals create their niche, build a name for themselves, and establish a profitable career and business by writing about their interests online and leveraging their personal brand.
How does the script suggest using the self-help perspective to improve one's life?
-The script suggests using the self-help perspective to improve one's life by setting goals, acquiring skills, and gaining experience, similar to leveling up in a video game. It emphasizes the importance of focusing on the process, creating a system for behavior change, and understanding that all change is behavior change.
Outlines
🎮 From Video Game Addiction to Life as a Game
The speaker reflects on their video game addiction, which paradoxically inspired the creation of a YouTube video. They draw parallels between life and video games, suggesting that life can be seen as a game in terms of personal growth and skill acquisition. The speaker introduces the concept that life is a structured flow of information and emphasizes the importance of processing this information efficiently. They hint at the idea of life as a simulation, without fully endorsing it, and express openness to various interpretations. The paragraph concludes with an introduction to the topics of psychology, metaphysics, self-help, and business, which will be explored in the video to help viewers improve their lives and find meaning in the process.
🧠 The Psychology of Life as a Game: Flow and Consciousness
The second paragraph delves into the psychological aspects of life as a game, focusing on the concept of 'flow' as described by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. The speaker discusses how investing attention in meaningful activities can lead to a state of order in consciousness, which is essential for achieving flow. They introduce the idea of 'autotelic activities' and explain how these self-contained goals can help individuals lose self-consciousness and live more fulfilling lives. The paragraph also touches on the concept of 'psychic entropy' and how maintaining order in consciousness can prevent mental disorder. The speaker introduces the 'focus matrix' to illustrate different states of focus and suggests strategies for managing attention to achieve desired mental states. Finally, the paragraph draws lessons from video games on how to enhance skill acquisition, learning, and self-confidence.
🌐 Metaphysical Perspective: Life as a Survival Simulation
This paragraph explores the metaphysical perspective, comparing life to a video game simulation where our perception of reality is limited and distorted to ensure survival. The speaker cites Donald Hoffman's theory that human perception is a user interface designed to help us navigate the world, rather than a direct representation of reality. They discuss the idea that space and time are visualization tools, akin to compression algorithms in a computer operating system. The paragraph also touches on the concept of 'fitness payoffs' as rewards for successful actions within this simulation. The speaker draws connections between this theory and various spiritual and philosophical ideas, suggesting that removing the user interface of human perception could lead to a deeper, albeit potentially overwhelming, understanding of reality.
🛠 Self-Help Perspective: Crafting Your Life's Game
The speaker shifts to a self-help perspective, discussing how life can be approached as a game where one acquires skills, gains experience, and unlocks new levels. They emphasize the importance of focusing on the process and designing a life according to one's own vision. The paragraph discusses the difference between virtual risk in video games and real risk in life, while highlighting the similarities in learning, practicing, and the pursuit of goals. The speaker encourages viewers to create their own 'games' in life by setting goals, embracing challenges, and acquiring the necessary skills and knowledge. They stress the importance of changing behavior to effect change in life and the need for a plan to guide this transformation.
💼 Business Perspective: Embracing the Creator Economy
The final perspective discussed is the business viewpoint, where the speaker sees the world shifting from corporate dominance to individual power within the creator economy. They reference Naval Ravikant and the idea that technology enables individuals to learn, do, and become anything. The paragraph discusses the parallels between the Renaissance era and the current digital renaissance, emphasizing the importance of being a polymath and taking responsibility for one's development. The speaker outlines how goals can turn into a personal brand, problems into content, systems into products, and benefits into marketing. They conclude by encouraging viewers to see business as a spiritual endeavor that trains the spirit and contributes to humanity.
📘 Conclusion and Call to Action
In the concluding paragraph, the speaker summarizes the previous discussions and provides a call to action for viewers. They mention the upcoming closure of the 'solopreneur sprints' and encourage interested individuals to enroll before it ends. The speaker also promotes their courses, 'Two Hour Writer' and 'Digital Economics,' which aim to teach valuable skills in writing and understanding the digital economy.

Transcripts
I remember waking up at 3 a.m.
before school so that I could play video games from Halo three
to all of the call of duties to League of Legends.
I was addicted, to say the least.
Increasing my level in video games
took priority over increasing my level in real life.
But I would not change a thing about it.
How else would I be able to create this YouTube video?
Psychology, metaphysics, self-help, and modern business
all point to life being a video game in a metaphorical sense.
Of course,
I'm not saying that there are a bunch of aliens
that created a giant computer that is running this simulation,
but it's quite similar as we'll come to find out.
And I'm not completely closed off to that idea.
Who actually knows?
I mean, this is where you get into like
conspiracy theory territory.
I genuinely don't believe that there are aliens running
our lives, but
who knows?
And I want to
break down each perspective from psychology, metaphysics,
self-help business,
so that you can make progress towards your goals and fall in love
with the process.
Understand how to tap into optimal states of consciousness.
Stop taking life so seriously and create your ideal future.
Reinvent yourself or the character that plays the game of life
and leverage
your character
to pursue your life's work and earn a meaningful income.
A game is a structured flow of information.
Life is information or information,
and our quality of life depends on how we process
that information.
This will be in the next video
called Mental Esthetics How to Build a Beautiful Mind.
But to give you a sneak peek of what I mean as your body
and your mind are very similar.
Metaphorically or symbolically, where the information
like you're overloaded with information because you don't have
a fast
enough mental metabolism to digest that information
in the situation that you're in.
And so throughout life,
the things that you expose yourself, the chaos
and novelty
that you expose yourself
to has to
progressively overload with time
so that you can handle more difficult and stressful situations.
When we push too far beyond our edge, too far into the unknown,
there is too much stimulus.
We can't metabolize the experience.
Information builds up and creates anxiety and overwhelm.
When we shy too far away from our edge, too far into the unknown,
there is little novelty that makes life worth living.
Our mind is not stimulated.
Information is easy to digest, and we become bored.
The conscious mind can process 50 bits of information per second.
The unconscious mind can manage 11 million bits of information
per second.
So as we become more efficient at processing information
with the 50 bits available to us.
And what I mean by efficient is that we start our unconscious
or subconscious
becomes trained to automatically process specific information.
So that frees up room to process new information or novel
things or new potentials so that you can change your life.
And when you do this, you free up that conscious attention
so that you can invest your attention
in what you deem meaningful.
In video games, you have a map.
The light of awareness reveals where you have been
and what you have experienced.
This knowledge allows you to make better decisions in the future.
The darkness of the map is the unknown,
and you wouldn't launch yourself too far from the known.
You must slowly puncture
the unknown,
let the experience normalize through skill
acquisition and emotional management and press forward.
One purpose of life is to raise your consciousness,
and this is only possible by living at your edge, embracing
the story of life,
the highs, lows, successes, and catastrophic failures.
The most miserable place you can be is in the middle.
Before we dive deeper, I have an announcement.
I am running the last solopreneur sprints
simply because I have other projects coming up.
The Sprint
cohort style thing is going to move over to the software business
that I'm building.
The book
launch is
it got pushed back and so I'm running the solopreneur sprint.
Long story short,
if you're interested in creating your niche of one,
building a name for yourself
and creating profitable career and business opportunities
by writing about your interests
online and building leverage a one person business,
everything that we talk about here, what I see as a great route
for people to take to discover and pursue their life's work.
Then check out solopreneur sprints
link in the description before enrollment closes.
The first perspective we're going to talk about is psychology,
the optimal state of inner experience
is one in which there is order in consciousness.
This happens when psychic energy or attention is invested
in realistic goals
and when skills match the opportunities for action.
The pursuit of a goal brings order and awareness
because a person must concentrate attention
on the task at hand and momentarily forget everything else.
That is a quote from the book Flow by Mihai at me.
Mihai So that word flow, you've heard about it before,
it is the optimal state of consciousness
that all mystics ancient psychologists
and almost everyone points to
when they say, Oh, I feel absolutely amazing right now.
I don't have any worries on my mind.
I'm so focused at work.
I'm so at one with nature, whatever it may be.
It's where you are at, one with being or doing,
or when they collapse into one when you are at one with the task.
It's called auto telling activities.
Auto meaning self telling, meaning goal, a self-contained goal.
In this state, you lose self-consciousness and move through life
without a worry in the world.
It seems that
the key to the good life is investing attention
in what we deem meaningful.
But what you deem
meaningful is found by investing attention
and what you eliminate as meaningless.
This process of trial and error, high and low focus
and distraction is the natural balance that keeps life enjoyable.
But if you get stuck in a low, chaos ensues.
So we need to understand the concept of psychic entropy,
because ordered consciousness
is what creates degrees of the flow state.
To order
consciousness is to focus your attention
on something external or internal.
It can be external like a conversation or task, or
it can be internal, like a thought or an emotion.
Both have their benefits
and they change the way the brain operates.
So there's
a test positive network in psychology
and the default mode network in psychology
and a few other networks that all vary
depending on how you're focusing your attention,
whether it's an open state of focus or a narrow state of focus.
And I have this concept I call the focus matrix.
So I'll throw a graphic up on the screen,
but there's unconscious narrow focus,
which is like stressed, anxious, reactive, annoyed,
unconscious, open focus,
which is lost, uncertain, overwhelmed or lack of clarity,
conscious, narrow focus, efficient task oriented flow state.
The deep work,
conscious, open focus
which is present, creative, relaxed or joyful.
And so just by understanding this,
you can identify where your focus is, how you feel and start
to move within the matrix to where you want to feel.
If you have some work to do, then you need to narrow
your focus on a specific task and use tools to do that.
That's why productivity hacks are so useful
is because it's like, okay, set a timer that narrows your mind.
Have a goal, create a priority task,
break it down into actionable steps.
Know what you're doing, narrows your mind even further.
Some people can throw in headphones, They put on a hat,
they close all the blinds, they do whatever.
That just narrows everything in
so that you can you can get into this deep flow state.
When we lose focus to a distraction,
we increase the chances of psychic entropy.
So entropy is that everything tends toward disorder.
Psychic entropy is that your mind tends toward disorder,
if not focused, or if your mental system is not maintained.
If that ordering consciousness
is not maintained through conscious effort or energy.
So when we give life or attention
to something like a negative thought that creates this puncture
in our system or our frame of reference or our focus,
and it allows
a bunch of negative thoughts to come
in, like if you were to imagine
you're in a plane and they open the door
and everything just gets sucked out.
But imagine it getting sucked out or in to your mind,
we can reverse this entropy or create order
by something that I talk about doing all the time.
This is very practical,
where it's just creating the habit of
zooming out, gaining clarity and zooming back in.
So when you focus on a negative thought,
your mind narrows in on it.
It starts to close off.
You start to forget about that.
Everything is just fine because you're not zoomed out.
You're focused on the negative thoughts,
and then it starts to multiply and your focus just bounces
between them all like a pinball until you realize that.
And then you zoom out,
you gain clarity, you think long term,
you think about your vision, you think about your goals,
you think about everything that's happened to the day
you deconstruct the situation,
and then you pull from all of that
to create clarity and come back into
whatever it is you were doing.
And now we have to understand that
video games order consciousness
and there are things that we can learn from them.
The lessons that we learn from video games can be used
to enhance our skill, acquisition, learning and self-confidence.
Because when you first start playing a game,
you have no idea what you're doing.
You go through a tutorial
so you aren't exposed to everything at once.
You practice at level one.
Until that level becomes boring,
you are introduced to more skills, traits
and abilities to practice with.
You progressively overload
the challenge you take on
until you decide to start playing the game.
There must be a skill challenge
match in order to maintain order and consciousness.
So here's a graphic I've shown before.
On the left you have the challenge level.
On the bottom you have the skill level, the top.
If you take on a challenge that is too high for you,
you get anxious or self-conscious.
If you take on a task that is too low for you,
then you get bored or self-centered.
And so you must maintain this balance
of flow
or selflessness in the middle
because you start playing a game by learning the rules first.
A game represents any situation in life,
especially the ones where you lack confidence
and can't see yourself winning.
Then you practice the mechanics of the game.
There are a series of steps requests
that provide education and practice in unison.
Remember this when you approach anything new or if you get bored
with your current endeavor.
If you are faced with a large challenge,
then you need to step back, learn and practice at your level.
If you are bored with your current level of challenge,
you need to expose yourself to the education of the next level.
You need to slowly start to step into the unknown.
You need to practice new skills
and enjoy the neurochemical cocktail with a double of dopamine
as you transcend into the next phase of your life.
So that was the psychological perspective.
But let's talk about the metaphysical perspective
or how we live in a survival based simulation.
If you play a video game on your computer,
such as Doom or Uncharted,
you see compelling 3D worlds and 3D objects.
Yet the information is entirely 2D
limited by the number of pixels on the screen.
The same is true when you look away
from your computer to the world around you.
It too has pixels and all information is 2D.
That's a quote from Donald Hoffman
in his book The Case Against Reality.
So Donald
Hoffman is a cognitive psychologist and author of the book
I just mentioned.
So in the book, in the various podcasts that I've listened to,
he argues
that human perception
is a user interface to survive in this world
and that this user interface hides the true nature of reality.
Because if we saw the truth,
we wouldn't survive
because through simulations that have been done,
natural selection does not favor those that see the truth
or the ones that see reality as it is.
And this aligns with psychedelic enthusiasts
like Terence McKenna, who say that language is virtual reality.
Perception is a closed system and psychedelics allow you to see
beyond our fitness based perceptions.
Hoffman also argues
that space time is a visualization tool,
or that space and time are compression algorithms.
They are the operating system of the user interface.
So think of a desktop screen.
Subjective reality is like a screen
that has been programed to help us see what we need to see
and do what we need to do.
Every material object is like an icon on the screen
that you can move around
and play with and possibly delete or lose.
And the screen is it's pretty, it's esthetic.
It has properties and qualities,
and we should take them seriously, but not literally, as he says.
And on the screen,
you can click around
and perform specific tasks that result in a desired outcome.
These desired outcomes he calls fitness payoffs.
And these payoffs are like points in a video game.
Through trial and error, we learn how to win and how to evolve.
And by winning, your offspring goes to the next level.
In real world
simulations, the organisms that saw the truth of reality
went extinct, like an ant trying to have sex with a glass bottle
because it didn't have the perceptions or the survival instinct
to meet with another ant.
Its perceptions were distorted
and it's also very interesting that different organisms
have different perceptions
where like a frog can see a completely different range of color
than humans can.
And so everyone thinks
that they're seeing the truth,
but in reality
it's like we're all playing a game of Grand Theft Auto.
When we look at our computers
and consoles that run these programs,
they are packaged up nicely.
We don't see the wires and diodes
that transfer information to create what is on the screen.
And even if we did see a window
serve our survival,
we wouldn't understand
it and wouldn't be able to do anything
with the jumble of electronics, even further.
We can't comprehend the code
that is running the game,
and we can draw connections
between Hoffmann's theory of this simulation or user interface
and things like Nonlocality infinite consciousness in mentalism,
idealism, Hinduism, Buddhism.
You can really pull connections between anything,
but those are the main ones
where to me
this feels more right than most other theories of everything.
The thing here is, if you were to remove this user interface
or human perception with a tool like psychedelics,
you would eventually go insane.
And I'm not saying that insane is bad necessarily.
Maybe that's the truest thing there is.
Maybe that's ultimate reality.
Maybe that's ego death.
But like when you're trying to operate within the real world
or in this survival game,
that's not going to serve you very much.
And you're probably going to die sooner than later
because you just won't be able to survive.
You won't have that instinct.
And there is a reason why people aren't on psychedelics
24 hours, seven days a week.
We aren't at that phase of evolution yet.
And as I mentioned earlier, with the mental bodybuilding or your
your mind
not being able
to digest that much chaotic information or make sense of it
because how infinitely complex consciousness is in and of itself,
if we were exposed to all of that,
that's like, Man, how would you even put it?
That's like trying to physically eat the universe.
That's impossible.
That does not mean that you can't understand
or have that awareness or have that grounding in it
so that you can make better decisions
with your life and live in more meaningful life.
And I like to think of this as the mind being a vessel
where the human mind is a vessel and reality flows through it.
So you think of a projector, the light that the projector emits
is consciousness and the film is your mind.
The light shines on the film and displays
a spectrum of the experiences that humans have.
It frames our perception.
The film is our perception.
That's the user interface that we're operating within.
So the third and more practical perspective
for life being a video game is the self-help perspective.
Life is a game
that gold acquire skills, gain experience, unlock new levels,
and eventually
get to a point where you have the resources
to do whatever you want when you're operating.
Frame is focused on the process that will actualize your future.
Your focus is impenetrable
and you live in a world of your own design.
The difference
between a video game in
real life is virtual risk versus real risk.
The sameness
between a video game in
real life is learning practice
and becoming a dopamine junkie video games have tutorials,
professions, quests and an unknown to explore.
Real life has childhood,
career paths, responsibilities
and potentials that you are unaware of.
But once discovered, can drastically change
how you think, act and work.
Once you understand the significance of the patterns illustrated
between video games and life,
you can begin to correct your behavior
in a way that is conducive to your future.
No problem can be solved
from the same consciousness that created it.
Albert Einstein.
To raise your consciousness, you must raise your level of mind.
To raise your level of mind, you must open your perspective.
To open your perspective,
you must identify problems,
take on the challenge,
acquire the skill, and receive the knowledge
necessary to transcend your previous identity.
With each level of mind,
your identity must change the knowledge,
skill, belief and experience
you order in your mind as self determines the opportunities
available to you.
At level one,
you have access to opportunities slightly above your level.
The opportunities
you can register in your awareness exist on a spectrum.
As you level up,
you still have access
to all of the opportunities underneath
you and those slightly above your skill.
It is a massive disservice to your life to distract yourself
and never see what you are capable of.
We need to understand how to create our own games.
If games have a desired outcome,
winning a path
to get their progression and habitual actions to take priority,
then we can create games out of any situation in life.
This universal principle of purpose, process
and priority is the underlying framework of human behavior.
If you don't have a goal, you don't have the vision.
If you don't have a path, you don't have clarity.
If you don't have a task, you don't have focus.
Most of your problems
in life can be solved
by understanding and applying this principle
to create a game,
you need a hierarchy of goals that frames your attention.
As an example, a ten year goal
that allows your vision to blossom.
Yearly goals, monthly
goals, weekly goals,
all of which are loosely held in the back of your mind.
These should not be your master, but your guide.
Only from there
can you align your daily education and labor moving actions
with them.
You're overly focused on the negative parts of life
because you haven't built positive responsibilities
that demand your focus.
The more attention you invest in your goals, the stronger
their gravity becomes.
And lastly,
for the self-help perspective, we need to know that all change
is behavior change.
To change your life,
you must change your actions
to change your actions in the right direction.
You need a plan. There isn't any other way.
And if you don't create your own,
someone will create a plan for you to stick to the plan.
You need a system systems or organize behavior changes.
To create a system,
you must attack your goals,
embrace the nature of trial and error,
double down on your successes, and persist until success
becomes the default state in each area of your life.
Health, wealth, relationships, and happiness.
If you have made it this far, congratulations.
You made it past three perspectives
Psychology, Metaphysics, and self-help.
And now the most practical perspective
I can give you is the business perspective
or the new digital society.
Eventually, everybody will be in the creator economy.
From Naval Ravikant,
the world is shifting from corporate
dominance to individual power.
Thanks to technology,
this is reflected in nature
through the principle of division and unity.
Everything divides and reunites over time.
This is also social gaps in entropy,
or that nothing is permanent.
In the Renaissance era, the economy favored the multiday tension,
the polymaths,
the artists who refused to limit their abilities
the thinkers,
creators, designers,
builders and individuals
who took responsibility
for their mental, physical
and spiritual development In the digital renaissance
we are going through.
History is repeating itself.
We can learn anything, do anything, and become anything.
Thanks to the vast and rapid information
expanding at our fingertips,
the expansion of the mental plane of existence through
the Internet has created a field of infinite potential.
Communication is no longer local, commerce is no longer local
friendships are no longer local society is no longer fragmented.
The creator economy is virtual reality.
Your personal brand is your character.
Online business is the game and progression.
Networking is how you build a powerful tribe.
Purposeful products are how you make a living.
The intrinsic philosophy
you cultivate throughout your journey
is the marketing firepower that attracts those like you.
You are a part of the creator economy right now.
The question is which side are you on?
Are you engaging in the mutual benefit of value exchange product
for money,
or are you draining your attention, overloading your mind
and wasting your creative ability
by not producing anything in return for the value you are taking?
Business is arguably the most spiritual endeavor you can take.
Business is how you train your spirit.
It is how you get better
at contributing to humanity, something greater than you spirit.
And of course, my favorite way of framing
this is the one person business
or just turning yourself into the business.
So a graphic that you can screenshot,
but we're going to go over each of these
how goals
turns into brand, how problems turn into content,
how systems turn into product, how benefits turn into marketing.
And a classic quote from Alan Watts
that I love
is that sensible people get paid for doing what they enjoy doing.
First, let's talk about brand
or that you are the most profitable niche.
Your brand is your online avatar.
Strong brands have vision, a big irrational goal
that they are leading their followers
toward the gravity of that goal
and the energy displayed along with
it is what attracts people to you.
Your brand is your highest version.
It is who you are becoming.
It is your guiding light toward a better future
that allows you to align your actions
with goals through a tangible vessel
that others can benefit massively.
Your job is to display
who you are in your profile, picture, images, bio and website.
Your style shapes your design and your vision shapes your bio.
Your goals
Shape the content,
product and marketing you create under your brand hierarchy.
The second thing is content or lessons learned.
Completing quests.
Your content is the ideas, thoughts, beliefs, opinions, lessons
and advice
you acquire as you pursue your challenging hierarchy of goals.
Do you see the power in this writing has changed my life.
It has brought self-awareness, self understanding and the ability
to organize
my thoughts or order consciousness to make life more enjoyable.
This is the driving factor of why I created my course.
Two hour writer
to teach you
what is arguably the most valuable skill, high impact writing,
and something that will never go out of style,
even with the emergence of AI
because you don't need fancy content frameworks and templates.
These help, of course,
but the best content doesn't come from these.
The best content comes from energy transfer.
As you acquire knowledge and skills through your education
and your learning and just experiencing life,
there are going to be things
that register in your awareness
more than others, the things that cause excitement
or increase dopamine,
the novel ideas, the things that you see useful
viewing from the lens of your vision.
If you don't have a vision, you can't do this.
You need a vision or a goal
in an active problem that you are solving.
So you can filter good information from bad.
And when you do find the good information,
you feel it and you note it down
and then you share it with other people online and not alone,
since it causes excitement in you,
it's going to cause excitement in other people.
If you get that content spread and know how to grow.
And it's that simple, that's how you attract a like minded tribe.
So after brand and content, you need a product or systems
for behavior change
because the best products spark positive behavior change.
Behavior change is reflected
in the internal markets of business,
health, wealth, relationships and happiness.
So write to yourself.
Build for yourself and sell to yourself.
Create a product or service out of the knowledge and skills
you've acquired on your journey.
Something that you would have wanted or something
that would truly benefit your life.
Right now, there are individuals in the creator economy that sell
literally everything from courses to software to cotton pants
because they're afraid of the chemicals
in the polyester pants
and blue light glasses, planters, coaching, kitchenware,
shoes, anything, just a product or service
that people actually need in their everyday life.
That is the thing
here is
how are you going to make people healthier, happier,
wiser or wealthier with the knowledge
that you gain
by pursuing your goals and figuring it out for yourself?
And people will object here
and tell you to start a real business.
What they mean is I am fabricating problems
that don't benefit humanity.
Don't start a business around real problems
that will raise the collective consciousness.
People who have a poor relationship with money
will think that marketing and sales are evil.
They don't understand that the exchange of goods is human nature.
It's been around forever and that means something.
Money is neutral until you put it in the hands of good or evil.
Consistent progression
toward your conscious goals ensures that you lean toward good.
When you solve your own problems and sell the solution,
you can guarantee that those problems exist on the cosmic scale
and rest well knowing that you're making a difference.
The last is marketing because you need a brand to build leverage
and a readership
you content to also nurture and build that
and you need a product to monetize.
But then you can't monetize
if you don't know how to market or promote yourself.
So it is wise to study marketing and sales,
see either of my $1 million skill stock videos,
they are evergreen
skills backed
with psychological and metaphysical principles of value exchange.
Of course, there are tainted aspects of those skills.
People who lack moral development will use them for evil.
But like money, these skills are neutral until wielded.
So invest in education around these, but do so to note patterns
and principles
that shape your articulation and persuasive ability.
From there, use
an intrinsic philosophy that you cultivate
while you're playing the game.
Goals imply problems and problems and play struggle.
You will struggle on this journey,
but the lessons learned are what increase your level of mind.
The reasons or whys behind your pursuit is how you promote
the product you create to the people you've attracted.
Why did you start training in the gym or fixing your health?
Why did you improve your relationships and social life?
Why did you increase your wealth through business
skill and professional pursuits?
The why is what creates emotion in your readers.
From there,
you can learn tactics to test
on your business, to increase revenue,
but don't lose your soul in the process.
That's it for this one of my friends.
Life is a game.
And of course, solopreneur sprints.
The last one is running and enrollment will be closing soon.
So check out LinkedIn description for that.
If you want to build
your brand
really with what we talked about in that last section of this,
which is build
a brand, learn to write content,
learn to create a product, learn
to market it and aside from that, there's two are writer
and digital economics,
both courses with high value skills that you can learn
free stuff.
Check out the links in description.
