      Meditation and identifying thought loops, categorizing a thought loop as a thought loop, and it goes away. But what helped me most from this video is definitely GOAL.

      Sleep & diet is probably the most powerful.

(Whats the most efficient way to learn and acquire knowledge?)

    #8 helped me the most because it's something that I feel like I was on the path to realizing, but hearing it stated explicitly helped me skip all the hours of introspection.
    I think the biggest challenge I'm facing though is different than most other people's. I'm trying to figure out how to explain my visions of the future to other people when I've been keeping it to myself all my life. The hard part is finding the right questions to ask myself about the problem.

    Battle vs Wars helped me the most as lately, I was struggling understanding if I really love what I do.
    There was also this belief that got me which is that you either love what you do or you don't. It made my mind and vision very unclear for about a month now.
    It's a really long process to get where I want and full of bumps that I'd rather not do but now I'm confident it will be worth it when I get to the level I want.

    The big epiphany here Sam was at the end when summarizing. You said in the Battles vs Wars. You said the macro we're going to love but micro not so much. We have to be unhappy to be happy. I've been trying to feel good all the time and wondering why it's hard to get the tasks I hate done. Trying to get myself to love those tasks instead of hating them. It's a waste of time. Just accept the principle of got to be unhappy to be happy. 2 sides of every coin. If there were no sadness how would we know what happiness feels like. Ding! Thank you man.

    Thank you Sam. I am watching all of your videos day after day in a moment in which I am deciding about my future, building a business, getting my life on track. Everything you say to me is putting me on a mindset that I would have never been able to get without your insights, without your clear thinking, without your voice every day telling me that it's all a big equation and I am responsible to control the variables (and the constants). Thank you Sam, I don't know if you ever read this, but you are making a difference in my life, and I only read dumb comments down this video, that doesn't give justice to the huge amount of value you are actually creating. Also, you make me smile a lot. That line about the cascade of shitness in the society was just amazing :)
    You know I would love to ask you something. What if you have 2 goals and the environment they require for them to be accomplished is different? What if I want to build a business, so I choose to move to New York (where I am), but then I also want to build a family and I suddenly realize that New York will never be the right environment to have a healthy and stable relationship? What if the 2 main goals you have in life requires 2 different environments? How do you solve this shit?

    Sam, your content has been life-changing for me. One thing that really helped me was the 'scientific method' which you teach in Consulting Accelerator as well. Aside from business, this helped me overcome a chronic injury that I dealt with for years...
    I had a sports related neck injury and it eventually got so bad that I couldn't even sit at my computer chair for an hour.
    When things looked hopeless, I just kept changing one variable. Nothing worked at first, but as long as I had one thing I hadn't tried, I stayed hopeful. Eventually I sniped the underlying cause and learned an extremely valuable life lesson that I'll have with me forever.
    As for a QUESTION: I'd love to know what your favourite books are!
    I do the same thing with my book collection. I keep a stack of my 10 favourite and every night I go and open to a random page and read a highlight or two. The speed at which this has helped me learn is borderline superhuman.

    And know I am running my own business! I am happy and grateful all the time. And I live my dream life.
    I am chilling all day on the beach. Seeing friends non stop. And doing my business the way I want! It fits me perfectly, because I manage it to be that way.
    I am writing you this in front of all others so that it is documented...
    You helped me fix my brain. I am new now!
    I watched only the first two weeks!!!!!!!!!
    This in the time of one year I guess, you can look it up...
    You are my teacher!
    And I am yours.

    I don't know if the US/Oceania has the same practice, but in Europe we have the "healthy lifestyle" lessons at school with exams, that teach children most of the stuff that is in this video. That is mandatory, in my opinion, to teach this stuff early on. Thank you for your video!

    I've got kind of lost after achieving my goal. I went from 0 to 20k+ in 7 months doing business online (my goal was 10k in 6 months). I see it would be way better to think of a long term goal, but I'm having a really hard time to find and reason in this long period of time. How could I make a better picture of what I want to become in 10 - 20 years?
    Thanks a lot for all the effective content you constantly put out, especially the last videos on personal growth!

    3.How do I get rid of self doubt and 100% eventually get results no matter how long it takes

    You’re going in a good direction with these videos. This was extremely specific and helpful for me. Honestly it’s all mindset that stops me so directly focusing on the awareness of different variables to follow order or chaos is what I needed to frame.

    What does it take to be extremely successful and become superbly great at what you do?
    What do you need to have, what type of thinking would you need to adopt, how successful people see things, deal with things and how does their thinking differ compared to the norm, what traits do they have that everybody else don't have, what habits, strengths or weakness do they have or don't have, how success and the journey towards that realistically look like or feel like, etc.
    Something like this would be great!

    Hi Sam, I love your videos but I am not sure if I agree with the message of your last video. I am sure you have read "So good they can't ignore you" by Cal Newport. And while your message was "Do what you love" and "Follow your passion" his message is "You do not have to follow your passion, become very good at one thing and it will turn into your passion". This advice is actually the total opposite of yours and in my opinion this advice is better because often the current passions of unsuccesful people are not really the basis for a great business or they do not even have a real passion. Would like to hear your comments on this.
    However, thanks for making so many great videos on youtube.

    • @NigeloWalker
      @NigeloWalker 5 років тому +4

      Yes Sam Can you please do a video response to this comment? Cal Newport is an author I love and I am having conflicts regarding building "Career Capital" to love what you do versus "following a passion". This has been a huge problem for me as I can't decide to continue in my career in finance versus following my passion of health, fitness & life coaching.

      @cheenouyang4695 5 років тому +16

      You misunderstood his message. Sam didn't say "follow your passion".
      He said to identify what you're passionate in -- meaning the topics, subjects, books, and things that you like.
      Then to identify the interest "groups" within that passion.
      For example, if you like to listen to music (passion or interest), you can identify different groups of people such as music composers, singer, audio engineers, producers, studio owners, ect..
      Then you "talk" to these groups of people and find out what they want or what their problem is.
      Once you know their problem, you will have your "niche" selected and your business idea.
      Sam will never tell you to follow your passion. He wants you to solve a specific problem for a specific market.

      @DailyDrivenTesla 5 років тому +1

      People have trouble finding what they are passionate about. This makes it tough, finding the bridge that takes them to leveraging it for the purpose of their perceived daily successes. People that have not yet found something to become great at so that they can discover passion in unexpected places also have the EXACT same challenge. In the end it is about becoming good at something that then gives you momentum velocity which in time, produces tremendous results. The right darts used on the right dart board. Felt tip darts on a wooden board do not get it done. The act of aiming and throwing is not enough.

    Sam, I’m LOVING your last two videos including this one. So much value, inspiration and truth. THANK YOU. I would love for you to make a video about HOW to get clear on your goal. How do you pair it down when you feel like you have too many goals. Life is not one dimensional and there are so many departments of where to set intention and thrive in. Values and knowing what matters most, what your priorities are is key, but I would love to hear your perspective, insights and take on it. More on goal clarity would be amazing.

  • @0alexpepper253

    Loved the part about iterating variables. I've started to really look critically at my goal setting and I wrote down "don't move the goal posts during the day". Sometimes we just have to hold true to shit until we can see what's working, if we're in constant flux we just end up in fucked-brain because we haven't set our orientation mechanisms up for tracking progression/regression. I really appreciate these vids. Thanks Sam
