How does one succeed in life?
Last Updated: 02.07.2025 00:14
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Procrastinates a lot.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):

Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.

PICK 1 important thing you want to quit or bring into your life in 2025. Think hard about a system that will make it impossible or inevitable.
What I need from you?
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.

Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
In 5 years, YOU will still be the one making decisions. And if you keep your current habits, "YOU 2.0" will have big problems.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.

Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Do not set goals—set systems.

Porn blockers might help, but they won’t be as effective. And you know nudity isn’t just on Pornhub—it’s everywhere. Don’t joke with fire.

“YOU 2.0” is like your future kid. It’s your duty to make decisions for him. It is wiser to marry a nice mom for your kid, not just a beautiful wife for yourself.
Making more friends is a goal.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.

I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Cutting off WiFi at home for a month or giving your phone to a distant friend for a month (in exchange for a Nokia or simply nothing) is a system.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Do Indian guys like African girls?
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Keep in mind that, there is always a system for any problem. You just need to be willing to think hard enough and BE WILLING TO MAKE SACRIFICES.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Does not procrastinate.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
