I think that is why so many people fail to ever reach their goals. Hollywood and so called self help gurus have us convinced that to reach success that it requires massive action or luck to make anything happen in our lives. When in reality success is more often than not achieved by simply doing a few key things constantly over time.
The goals are like flowers... What you have to do to get the flowers doesn't look like flowers at all: prep the soil, watering, getting rid of weeds, etc... Focus and enjoy the gardenig process and the flowers will come naturally. Great video. Keep the system going
I believe you are exactly correct. Routines become habits, systems in place create the process necessary to reach any goal. Sold a business once and it wasn’t because I had the best sales force or backend operation but rather because it was a system that worked well regardless of employees coming or going...
You explained this really well! 😄 Thanks for the great points about routines become habits and having systems in place when running a business. I'll remember this for next time!
This is exactly what I have been doing over the past 3 months or so. I have been running a system where I’m living better and I think consistency is key. Certain things I do everyday without fail: -Get up at 5am -Daily Journaling (I’m on Day 23) -Drink at least 2L of water -Reading at least 10 pages of a good book -Exercise -Leaving the house to be amongst nature and away from the hustle and bustle Once I started to do these little steps, I feel as if my productivity has gone up exponentially. Also No PMO is helping (day 10 today) Like you said, it’s about not setting goals. Equally, not everything will happen overnight. And don’t try to do everything at once. Thanks as always for this Cap. Great video. All is well, all shall be well and manner of thing shall be well.
I used to dayjournal. I’d write ‘’today I’m proud over’’ or *PO* for short. And i’d list things I got done during the day. I have really bad short term memory so I would day journal ../.../.../ *WO* worried over: X, Y, Z And I actually mended and resolved issues and problems I that I probably would’ve just forgotten or repressed. Even if it had to take 72 hours since I journaled what I worried over 3 days earlier.
Every day when I wake up, I do my morning routine, I call Morning Preparation. It includes: ¬ Go to the toilet and drink a glass of water ¬ Detailed writing of my dreams that night (if I had any) ¬ Gratitude (2min) ¬ Meditation for energy and vitality, to prepare for that day, in terms of E (15min) ¬ Affirmations (4min) ¬ Concentration Practices (15min) ¬ Meditation, it can be just breathing, sometimes with mantra or binaural beats (10min) ¬ Visualisation + Desires (4min) ¬ Preparing for all daily activities which I had written (2min) ¬ Streching (around 10min) ¬ Cold Shower I want to hear your morning routines! P. S. Great content, Nikhil!
When you follow that system you feel so fulfilled. It’s as though you have already acheived your goal, because you know the goal will be achieved as you live the way you do
Dude you just expounded Karma Yoga!!! Focusing entirely on our actions instead of the results. The process is more important than the end result. Instead of setting the end result as goal, one should set his own process itself as his goal. Only then his possiblities are limitless!! Watching your videos had always made me understand the wisdom words of our Rishis in a different light. Thankyou Cap. 🙏🏾 Love from Kerala, India ❤️
Scripting 30 minutes a day and carrying the camera everywhere looking for B-Roll opportunities whenever and where ever. Wow, this is perhaps one of the most practical steps and advice for any creators to follow out there!
Watching this in December 2020 and seeing how what you’re spelling out here directly affected your channel’s evolution is a huge inspiration, well done man
All i hear now is that you shouting in your indian dad voice that: "BABA, GREATNESS IS COMING, YOU JUST GET IN THERE AND DO IT!!!!" Seriously, nice vids, Cap! You're the type of dude I would love to have a cup of coffee with and just talk the afternoon away ☕🗣
This was a great video I also created a system when I was 15 and it lasted about 3 months before exams hit and I had to study more. -Wake up 6am within 2min -Make bed -Meditate 5-10min -Read 40min of my book -Reach my daily target on duolingo -Light morning workout -Write 3 goals/reasons for gratitude of the day (got rid of this a few weeks in) -Eat breakfast -Work on my art project (graphic design) -Leave to school I have a new schedule at 16 which is similar but is more adapted to my goals in life.

Great value about about goal settings, I always keep saying it, tiny drips of water creates a big ocean. Small habbits creates big results. I love the visuals and quality of the video. Keep up the consistency brother. God bless you.
This resonated so much with me, I've never known why am always job hoping for me, I just never wanna get comfortable with the jobs i get so i always look for what's next that Ican do that's better,besides I am so entrepreneurship minded and always figured that I eventually dont want to work for anyone for long and I guess that's also why. Thanks a lot for this, finally someone who did what am doing.
You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. This is one of the most influential video of my life. I strongly believe in Karma Yoga but always find it difficult to implement because of lack of understanding about "HOW". After watching your video I got my answer of "How", its creating a system. Working on system is simple & keep our head clear. This really a cool concept. Wanna say one thing, I realise everyone has their light bulb moment. This is mine. Thanks a-lot Captain SINDABAD for showing me the path.
Listening to you is always a pleasure. I'm proud to be one of your earliest subscribers, when you were at mere 3K bro. Your growth feels personal. Let's reach 1M bro. Let's make a system to watch Captain Sindabad's video. 😁
Great video as always, you have grown so much since the time a started watching your channel, I am really happy to see you so strong and wise as a person, thanks for your work Captain! Greatness is Coming!
I just wanted to thank you for your training programme and I think you should hit Netflix your acting skills are excellent. I don't set goals but I do have one big goal and I improve daily. I have been writing a lot after I was scripting, I knew it's helping me and I feel I am improving my writing. you have confirmed this for me and ill will write daily now, just how I'm writing this lol thanks again. 🙏
This is what I needed to hear right now. I have been tracking metrics daily that I will no longer track. I will no longer track metrics that I cannot directly control. Watch minutes, and subscriber count will no longer be a metric I track daily. Out of my control. # of videos uploaded I will keep tracking and in my mind daily. I will replace the watch minute and subscriber count tracking with tracking script writing for the day!
This is what I do, too. If I stuck to metrics as the only success, I would have quit by now. instead I clearly see my progress, and that alone is a powerful reason to keep going!
Goals is a one time thing. It’s an instant dopamine hit when achieved. But what sustains that and builds long term is the system you have in place that got you to that goal in the first place.
I think have a big goal say for the next 5 yrs. At the back of your mind and then follow this advice. I am gonna try that. Let's spice up life. Great video Nikhil.
Great video, I've been having the goal of making $1,000 per day for the last 3 years and it hasn't happened. I think building systems works a lot better, and I'll give it a try. How did you learn to pubically speak?
I had a goal of making 1000$ per month(its a lot in my country) also for couple of years but it also didnt happened and now i made a plan and I already made 57$ in 4 days working maybe only hour and a half per day(In my country you get paid around 10-15$ per 8 hours work) and I find a regular job that I’m starting in august that will give me 500$ per month(average payment in my country) and I sent an application for online tutoring job so it can be my second side hustle, so lets see If I will make 1000$ by the end of August😁
Great video. Your videos have come so far. I love your philosophy on goal setting vs systems. This resonates with me. Time to put the pen to paper and create some systems. Thanks for sharing.
I’m preparing scripts for my UA-cam channel (this one) at this time, you always inspire me and this video really resonated with what I want to do. I’ve been fretting over the small stuff and fearing to release content for the fear of failure or being mocked or misunderstood. But maybe I just need to launch as soon as I can instead of when I feel “ready”.
I appreciate your thoughts regarding creating a system as opposed to setting lofty goals, analyzing metrics, and the timeframe to achieve said goals. I started my youtube channel last year. The first 2 video did well, but the amount of time to create and develop the content was more than I was able to do on a regular, scheduled basis due to the nature and content of what I originally started with the channel. I started instagram in August of last year in place of youtube and found that that platform was better for me. However, I am looking at trying to revamp my youtube channel. Any suggestions for a fellow creative? Thanks for sharing.
hey brother -- for the sake of youtube. I would recommend lowering the quality of your videos so that your output can be higher. The ideal amount is 1 very high quality video per week, or 2 medium quality videos per week. Then once you're at 100K-300K subscribers, focus on increasing quality even more.
Great video as usual. Ok sometimes it's difficult when u don't live to those goals u set. But u just gotta keep on putting the effort and just go with the flow, focus on the task at hand and hope for the best.
I love this idea of creating a system to live by everyday and letting the success come to you. But I’m wondering if you still write down your goals every morning and night? Because I know you used to do that Keep up the great content Cap
Exactly.... Instead of chasing or setting goals we must try to evolve, become better to such an extent that things even better than our goals start happening to us.. I saw a video in which Sadhguru said something sort of similar..
it's sometimes funny how we were pushed into setting goals, and it was said to us, those big goals make the results hence the answer was always there with small daily compounding activities. You live, you learn :) took me 27 years to think for myself wow. Check out Elastic Habits and Mini Habits, those books fit amazingly into the equation of not breaking the chain and focusing on your daily " minimums ". Thank you for the video.
Bro I fuckin love you and your content (no homo). I felt so behind in life for a very long period of time. You inspire me to take actions! I finally decided to start making music as I always wanted!
Its easy to overestimate one defining moment, but underestimate small daily moments, 21 seconds in and you already dropped a bomb 💣

Great video. Keep the system going
great metaphor for focusing on the process Borja
(1.00)^365 = 1.00
(1.01)^365 = 37.78
The power of doing just a little bit more every day
The most powerful math for success...
Wow... incredible
Insane...
love this man!
Amazing

Thanks as always for this Cap. Great video.
All is well, all shall be well and manner of thing shall be well.
Keep going bro! Congratulations.
JustCallMeSix _ that’s a badass routine
HOMBRES DE VITRUVIO I plan to, thanks for your comment.
Captain Sinbad Thanks!
I used to dayjournal.
I’d write ‘’today I’m proud over’’ or *PO* for short.
And i’d list things I got done during the day.
I have really bad short term memory so I would day journal
../.../.../ *WO* worried over:
X, Y, Z
And I actually mended and resolved issues and problems I that I probably would’ve just forgotten or repressed. Even if it had to take 72 hours since I journaled what I worried over 3 days earlier.
Every day when I wake up, I do my morning routine, I call Morning Preparation. It includes:
¬ Go to the toilet and drink a glass of water
¬ Detailed writing of my dreams that night (if I had any)
¬ Gratitude (2min)
¬ Meditation for energy and vitality, to prepare for that day, in terms of E (15min)
¬ Affirmations (4min)
¬ Concentration Practices (15min)
¬ Meditation, it can be just breathing, sometimes with mantra or binaural beats (10min)
¬ Visualisation + Desires (4min)
¬ Preparing for all daily activities which I had written (2min)
¬ Streching (around 10min)
¬ Cold Shower
I want to hear your morning routines!
P. S. Great content, Nikhil!
You might wanna drink a glass of water and then go to the toilet
@@kunalbibekar422 Will 6 minutes make a difference? And why?
@@АлексаРадојичић-ю6ч drinking water before has many benefits just Google it.
With the stretching, I'd also add moderate cardio exercise
Drink a glass of water on the toilet😂
When you follow that system you feel so fulfilled. It’s as though you have already acheived your goal, because you know the goal will be achieved as you live the way you do
I also love your outro, "... to us i say, greatness is coming" makes a strong impact in the end
Dude you just expounded Karma Yoga!!!
Focusing entirely on our actions instead of the results. The process is more important than the end result. Instead of setting the end result as goal, one should set his own process itself as his goal. Only then his possiblities are limitless!!

This was a great video I also created a system when I was 15 and it lasted about 3 months before exams hit and I had to study more.
-Wake up 6am within 2min
-Make bed
-Meditate 5-10min
-Read 40min of my book
-Reach my daily target on duolingo
-Light morning workout
-Write 3 goals/reasons for gratitude of the day (got rid of this a few weeks in)
-Eat breakfast
-Work on my art project (graphic design)
-Leave to school
I have a new schedule at 16 which is similar but is more adapted to my goals in life.
“The only thing that matters is honoring the system “ hit deep for me
Just bought a planner and a 100 day goal book, video couldn’t come a better time :)
After experimenting a lot f different mindset to get myself on track I found the best- which is the 'FEAR OF REGRET'..
*_I always look forward to your intros!_*
This video is truly a godsend. *Thank you so much* Nik.
thank you FATIMA!!!!!
Been following this guy when he had 1.2k subscribers. Joy to watch

Great video, thanks for taking time to create it. Looking forward to watch more of it.
Watching this in 2021 and it has helped me a lot. Thanks Captain.
Hey Captain!
You got me
You’re real!
I’m on board
I respect your honesty system is the way I know for sure!
Keep it up !
I’ve been really striving for next year to create systems over goals. Will try the script writing one first! Great suggestion.
I think have a big goal say for the next 5 yrs. At the back of your mind and then follow this advice. I am gonna try that. Let's spice up life.
Great video Nikhil.
Bruh, the production of your videos has stepped up so substantially. Good work!
thanks man
Good video Captain, I will read the book thinking in systems to connect more ideas
Great video, I've been having the goal of making $1,000 per day for the last 3 years and it hasn't happened.
I think building systems works a lot better, and I'll give it a try.
How did you learn to pubically speak?
1000/day! That's wild.
I had a goal of making 1000$ per month(its a lot in my country) also for couple of years but it also didnt happened and now i made a plan and I already made 57$ in 4 days working maybe only hour and a half per day(In my country you get paid around 10-15$ per 8 hours work) and I find a regular job that I’m starting in august that will give me 500$ per month(average payment in my country) and I sent an application for online tutoring job so it can be my second side hustle, so lets see If I will make 1000$ by the end of August😁
Have you achieved it?
I'm really loving your channel lately.
appreciate that Justina!
amazing! thanks for sharing
Its easy to overestimate one defining moment, but underestimate small daily moments
Watching this 3 years later is very interesting
Love love love this guy
Respect you so much! you are a true warrior! thank you for all your help and inspiration! with gratitude and appreciation❤️❤️
Goals = target destination
Systems = means by which you get there.
awesome content bro! love your work:)
Great video. Your videos have come so far. I love your philosophy on goal setting vs systems. This resonates with me. Time to put the pen to paper and create some systems. Thanks for sharing.
Bhaiya, please make a video on"getting things done attitude". Thank you for the video ❤❤
sounds good
Awesome video! It would be interesting to see how your systems worked for you during the last year. Great content!!!
Great Video👍🏽🔥🔥🔥
Impressive, thank u
You gained another sub, you’re tapped in🤝🏼
Yes, to goal videos. Love it. Hopefully the 'one-note' vision board video is in the works :D
Love it... 💞
Point noted Sir...
Great content man. Much love. Systema are better indeed.
Your advice is gold as always
Greatness is coming.
yes indeed
Your videos is keeping me going, thanks bro.
Captain sinbad I would like if you did a video about sleep cycles. By the way i love all your videos man

The results are not in our hand, but the work is!
Goals are important , they direct your mind but system is the way you're are walking 😉
Systems > goals.. makes sense.. 🤔thanks!! 😊
Great video. The way you end videos is classy too.
Great one Nikhil 👏👏, keep them coming!
This video has no dislikes. I've never seen that on something with over 1k views
I like that painting on the wall behind you.
that is one of the best your videos bro
Tu Hira hai mere Big bro....

I want this type of video
Hey captain sinbad. I our head told me thst i got promoted. I hope the official papers come soon. Greatness is coming to us man. All the best soon
You are awesome. Your videos are really good bro. Keep rocking 😎
I love this idea of creating a system to live by everyday and letting the success come to you. But I’m wondering if you still write down your goals every morning and night? Because I know you used to do that

Awesome
Exactly.... Instead of chasing or setting goals we must try to evolve, become better to such an extent that things even better than our goals start happening to us.. I saw a video in which Sadhguru said something sort of similar..
it's sometimes funny how we were pushed into setting goals, and it was said to us, those big goals make the results hence the answer was always there with small daily compounding activities. You live, you learn :) took me 27 years to think for myself wow. Check out Elastic Habits and Mini Habits, those books fit amazingly into the equation of not breaking the chain and focusing on your daily " minimums ". Thank you for the video.
Thank you. This really helped.
great video but I didn't notice anything that you said that related to actually creating a system!!
Bro I fuckin love you and your content (no homo). I felt so behind in life for a very long period of time. You inspire me to take actions! I finally decided to start making music as I always wanted!
very happy you've been making music :)

right back at you bro
Get rid of the greatest weakness/problem and don't forget about the rest is what you said
Truly inspiring!
