The main issue that people have
When the first song is definitely mastering themselves mastering their own self-discipline habits, etc, etc
And it's just like it's the unsexy stuff
Like people like people always wonder like why like I get asked sometimes like why you had such a you know profound level of success
At such a young age. I'm like, well you see me at 19 and you see all these accolades
But then I was also and I told you this off-camera like I was also the kid
when I was 15 who was meditating in the school bathroom because that's crazy because
Because I was building my agency or I had a photo/video clients
So I had to do that at night and I was trying to get more for the video clients
And then I also had to go to school. So I was meditating in my school bathrooms for 30 minutes every lunch break
So that's the shit you don't see or you don't see the fact that like I can tell you guys
That I read a book a week and you got and it you know people know that as I said from the age of 14
to 17 I
read a book a week, but it's like but you weren't there at
1:37 a.m. When I know I have to wake up for school at 7 a.m
But I'm like no, I need to finish this book this week
Yeah, like like that's the stuff that people don't like realize and that's you know, I have its tattoo here private victories
Like that's that's the thing like people don't internalize the private trees and you see the public victory
But you don't understand the amount of painstaking
private victories that went into it
So that is the main thing that I see with people who are first starting is just all the unsexy stuff
For me, I think getting success in life is hard what's harder is keeping success
yeah, and the most the reason that why most people fail
Later, they get the success they've wanted and then they don't manage to maintain that it's because they stop doing the things that got them
To that place they're gone. That's because the first place like
You know
Maintaining your discipline maintaining your routines like just cuz you're successful doesn't mean you can't stop doing the things that got you to that place
In the first punish them in the first place
From the age of 14. I think it was when I really started taking things seriously
I was like, okay, you know that you're gonna have to be the manor-house now, let's do something about it. So
first place I'd look to was books and
You know 2014 2015 2016 2017 for years. I read a book a week
Any given Sunday, you would find me in in London. If you ever go to London, there's a place called Brixton book mongers
I was reading about business real estate this that and that's kind of
how I got started and how I expanded my worldview and
I just started doing what the book said cuz you know so many times you you get piece of information you get
You read a book or you get piece of information, but you just it's it's in your brain
And it ends up kind of just rotting there
the books told me
Meditate so I started meditating. The books told me go to the gym
so I start gaining and going to the gym again, you know learning everything about
You know how the body works how the body different body functions etc, etc
The book the book started telling me everything about like habit formation
so even from the age of 14
I would write I would plan out my next day the night before and then I would also
Write out a paragraph of a reflection on that day. So I was just starting to stack all of these really healthy positive habits
With with my students and one know I tell people when you first start you should not be doing more than four hours of work
a day
Yeah, like I'm like you actively should not let yourself because you don't have the mental 42 - the way that I see it is
that would be like if I you know
if you've never been to the gym before then you go into the gym and the way that I I
See the entrepreneur no spaces most we were like, yeah
You got a hustle grind work 12 14 hour days and I'm like that is like telling someone
who is super scrawny has never been to the gym go to the gym for the first time and
Start by dead lifting 250 kilos. It's like
No, you start off by deadlifting 60 kilos with good form, you know
And then you you progressively overload from there in the same way
You have to the same way that you you progressively overload when you're in the gym
You have to progressively overload in terms of how much work you're doing. You're focusing on the form first. Yeah, exactly
You're focusing on the form first making sure that you're working less
But when you work your phone is on airplane mode in the other room. You have no distractions
You have notifications turn off on your computer. You know, you're listening to I recommend brain fm
Just the main thing is like most people sit down and they just don't do their work properly. I said you don't have
Things in place to make sure there's no distractions and they're optimizing too much as possible
Like you just build things like in the first work block of my day. Just kind of kick things into motion
I burn incense sticks. Yeah instead six
Forces you to focus on your breath focus on your breath. It makes you present for being present helps you focus
So just even just little things like that
all in all
You know
We all we all like to think that we're good with multitasking and we all like to think that okay we can have so much
Stuff on our plate but to me until you can prove that
You can have XML on your plate and you can do it incredibly. Well then don't try to take more shit along exactly. Yeah
Yeah, but that's the main thing like you can't
Reassess where you are right now and make changes unless you can disconnect unless you can put your phone on airplane mode
Throw her the other side of your room and spend three four or five hours just to yourself best thing
You can do leave the house
No phone just walk
really your best thing you can do but bring a pen and paper with yuka days to do this all the time that used to
Be my Sunday ritual. I was walking no phone
Walk take a pen and paper with you as you start thinking and good ideas come up. You don't want to lose those ideas
so you can let me just stop and just kind of drop the notes down and your
On notepad and just keep walking it smart
Yeah, we're just gonna walk and they're gonna listen to music and yeah, they're gonna like have some great epiphany
But no you need sounds you need stillness in order to have those sort of
Game-changing epiphanies or those you know, those those real?
shifts in terms of you or your worldview
The worst piece of advice I've been given has been a few different pieces of advice
but all that come from a place of scarcity and
A lot of people. I love that a lot of people who live from a place of scarcity
They want other people to see it the exact same worldly
Yeah, and they want to instill in you that same worldview and they want to give you their there. They're sort of cynical worldview and
You know, it's hard to live life in abundance and it's it's like you're hanging onto the edge of a cliff and you know, I
see the best piece of wisdom that I've gone on is from people who are older than me and
People who are older than me
Consistently consistently just instill in me
How much time I have and you know that obviously this isn't applicable to everyone but for me
I'm a person who wants to achieve everything and I want to have achieved it yesterday
Yeah, I don't beat myself up if I if I don't achieve it, but I'm a person who's just hyper
Hyper focused hyper competitive. So for me, sometimes it's just amazing to be around some of my
Some of my friends who are older and have that wisdom and Arizona and really just saw me
Really mapping out for me. Just how much time I do have and really just to enjoy the process. I love hanging out with
so my friends were
way older I
Think
my self belief comes from
reference points reference points of where
just remembering all the times where I quite frankly was alone felt alone and
I had so much self responsibility that I
Had to step up and step up to the plate and I think my self belief comes from the same place that yourself believe comes
From which is just total total self-reliance knowing that
No matter what no matter what life throws at you and and this isn't just coming from some weird
This isn't coming from some weird egotistical place. As I said you and I both have reference points where we have been through such
horrific
such
Testing events in our life we've gone past them and you know those scars really do
Build up a shield build up your self belief
One thing that I've always believed is you have to go through a paradigm to understand it
So like I knew from the beginning like literally from the age of 10 11 12 money won't make you happy
Yeah, but it's like you don't really know that until you get things like a lot of money
It's like like it's looking like I've got people being like, oh, we're like, that's cool
You all this money wherever like but like money doesn't make you happy. I'm like
You have reached the highest level of spiritual environment because that is the the most pure and true statement. I
Don't need to tell you this you guys know this but the grass is never greener
But when you push the extremes then at least you get to see not only what it's like on the other side
But you get to see, you know, just the highest pinnacle of what that can be. I
Think there's two aspects of it and one thing that you do so well is you marry the two you marry?
hardcore results and
Spirituality and I think if you isolate either camp you're you're headed for a wreck
Yeah, and when you can marry the two you can go okay
I can live in abundance because I know I have the actual the actual skill set to
Make my life abundant whether that comes to relationships whether that comes to friendships whether that's in terms of business
Yeah, whatever that may be
Yeah, you know that you have that skill set and that's that core belief
But then you also need that worldview in order to manifest a long time
My beautiful truth is and
as I said
I I hate the fact that I'm saying this because I sound like every Instagram motivational page
But to be quite frank there is no destination
it is all about the journey and
The best part is you'll forget that you'll forget that a lot and life will remind your log
