This was my secret ingredient to success when I was thinking today about what's made the most difference in my life. This one is easily number one and I realized it's a bit of a secret to dominating easily over the average man. Do you boys ever get those past stories pop up on Snapchat and they tell you what you were doing a year ago, two years ago, three years ago? Well, I got one today on my Snapchat and I'll pop it up for you now. And it was exactly where I was last year and this is around the exact time last year that I quit my 9 to 5 and decided to pursue my dream of moving to Thailand, creating a personal brand and living off online income. Seeing that Snapchat story today just brought a lot of feelings over me of just how far I've come in the past year and to think it's just been one year, it's crazy. It led me today to thinking I'm currently in sort of a bit of a celebration over creating the YouTube, creating my first course, having some success with that.

I'm at a hotel at the moment in Thailand, the place I really like staying, the beds are amazing, super comfy here, the pools are really cool. And I was hanging out by the pool today and I was alone and I was sitting there thinking what is it that I changed this year? That was different to every other year that I didn't achieve this success or didn't make the moves in life that I wanted to. And I came up with some things that I did this year that I absolutely contribute my success to and I want to share them with you guys because I do believe if you're currently in a position where you're stuck in a 9 to 5, you feel like you were meant for more and your life doesn't look the way you wanted to. I believe you can completely change your life in one year and this is exactly how I would recommend you do it. So without further ado, let's get into the video. This was my secret ingredient to success when I was thinking today about what's made the most difference in my life. This one is easily number one and I realized it's a bit of a secret to dominating easily over the average man.

And it's giving up alcohol. I know you probably think yeah everyone says this you should give up alcohol. It's not good for you whatever. And I want to explain to you my story about giving up alcohol and how alcohol was keeping me as a completely average male. I didn't really drink that much from the ages of 14 to 18 when most people get into drinking in the UK. I had a few binges here and there, a few parties I went to but as a whole I was never that into alcohol. From a young age I was always very health and fitness conscious. I loved creating videos and I loved going to the gym. It was the two things I loved doing from a very very young age. I then obviously discovered women, alcohol clubbing around the age of 18. Apart from the few times I got drunk before when I was 18 I really started to go out and join myself and party. And when you start to party maybe you start to meet people that are doing some coke or a bit of MD or maybe some cat and you start to do a bit of that and you dabble and you dabble and it's just the best fun ever. And it's this new freedom that you've never found before.

And if I look at myself from 14 to 18 I'll pop up the picture now. This is me at 17 just turned 18 about to do my first boxing match in absolutely impeccable shape for an 18 year old. And when I started drinking everything just became about the party and getting high or getting drunk and going out and having a good time. And I had a lot of fun in that period with friends and I certainly don't regret it going to university and having these benches. But I do feel like I got all that partying out of my system from a young age. And last year in January I'd just come off the back of a very busy Christmas of constant boozing every day getting drunk, going to various different parties around Christmas, seeing family and just felt like absolute dog shit. I destroyed my mental health. I was having constant anxiety attacks and it got to a point where I couldn't leave the house around Christmas time without having a drink before I went out.

And I just thought this is I'm just a fucking shell of the man that I used to be and I've forgotten about everything that I ever dreamed of doing. And I'd become incredibly average. And there's nothing wrong with that if it makes you happy, but it was very far from the dreams that I'd once had, which is why it was me doing a disservice to myself. And I was on the drive back from going to my girlfriend's parents house and being with her. And we'd have had a great time together over Christmas, but there'd been a lot of drinking and we had to take different cars there. So I was driving back alone and it was about a four hour journey. And I was thinking to myself in the car about how I wanted to change my life and that our relationship at the time was not really working out. It wasn't there was nothing particularly wrong, but it just wasn't quite right and that I just was completely unhappy with my current situation. And I was panicky, I was shaky, I was nervous, I couldn't really drive home properly, I kept getting frightened and pulling over in it because I was so hung over and so anxious.

And I thought, well, fuck this, I can't do this anymore. I was at that point, I didn't want to touch another drop of alcohol, I'd done it to the max, I'd really fucking out, done it. There was nothing fun left in it anymore for me. So I pulled over the car, how'd you quit alcohol? And the book came up, the easy way to control alcohol, I couldn't read it whilst I was in the car so I bought the audio book on the side of the road. And I started listening to it and I kid you not this audio book, changed my life, it's the easy way to control alcohol, it's by Alan Carr. And throughout this audio book he discusses and reveals the truth about alcohol. And the easiest way to give up alcohol is not with the willpower method which I'd use previously to stop yourself from drinking, to stop yourself from having a good time. It is to change the way that you think about alcohol and he goes through this in the book, reveals all the ugly truths and really shines a light on what alcohol really is, which is a poison and a depressant that is doing absolutely nothing for you. And a lot of you will complain and you might get angry and say, well, no, alcohol gives me confidence, alcohol allows me to have a good time.

And the problem is, alcohol doesn't actually do any of that, it numbs you so that you're happy having a good time when things are shit. That is basically what it does, it just numbs your emotions and then leaves you depressed the next day. So you're not actually gaining confidence, you're just being numbed to fear and anxiety. Listen to this audio book on this four hour journey back in it, just change my life because after that, although I have drunk again since then, my mindset has changed towards alcohol that I no longer associated with having fun. And I realized that alcohol was putting me as a totally average man because what alcohol does is it steals your motivation and your ambition and it makes you settle for less. If you've ever woken up hung over on the weekend, you will know that there was pretty much nothing you could get done without a lot of effort. I mean, even cleaning the house or doing anything is pretty hard. You're just sort of a potato, you just vegetableized in bed and hang out for the weekend. Now, the problem is, if you're working in nine to five, the time where you get to excel to a new life is the weekend.

The weekend needs to be used strategically. Otherwise, you are going to be stuck in a life that you don't want to live. Now, all you're doing when you're drinking is meditating over a life that you don't like. Now that I live a life that I love, I drink very rarely, very, very rarely, maybe occasionally for a birthday, once a month, maximum, and have about five drinks max on drinking to excess, like I used to, is literally once a month, and I normally don't even want to. And the reason why is because every day I wake up with something exciting to do with a life that I look forward to waking up to, and I believe alcohol is literally only used to medicate yourself when you are living a life you don't want to live because it's a huge distraction. It allows you to have fun with low value people. You can go to any ship pub in the world and you can sit there and half enjoy yourself because you're just mind, you're just numbing your mind to the fact that you're bored. And then the thing up alcohol has given me basically after I gave up alcohol is when things really started to change for me because I looked at my life from a different perspective, I started getting times on the weekend where I was thinking, well, okay, I don't, I'm not able to drink.

What should I do? Okay, I'll go to the gym. That's a good way to fill my time. And when you're at the gym and you have all this time on your hands and you're not hung over, you start to think, well, this isn't quite right. I've got this, my job's shit. Now I can't hide or run away from my job, I realize I hate it. And the life that I'm living is not great. And I'm not actually that into my girlfriend anymore. And without drinking, we're not getting on with each other. And it starts to pull back the curtain and give you the time and energy to think about how your life should really be. Giving up alcohol is incredibly, I want to say it's difficult, but for me, it wasn't. It was incredibly easy after I saw the benefits and the benefits are where straight away you instantly get your motivation back. You instantly look less puffy. It just changes the way your skin looks. You start to glow and elevate and it changes the way your mind works gives you your time back to think so that you can change your life. So my secret ingredient to success when reviewing the last year without a doubt was giving up alcohol and I 100% recommend that you read the easy way to control alcohol by Alan Car if you're having issues with drinking at the moment.

And you want to change your life because that was my secret ingredient to success. And it still is when I go out and have fun with my friends. I don't drink and the next day I can outperform anyone who's had drinks because I've got just the ability to have a clear mind and a clear conscience. And I hope to pass that on to any one of you that is watching this. You will you will not regret giving up alcohol at all. You will you will love the way that it will change your life. So that's number one to go well that one. You need to get in shape makes life 10 times easier with women, respect from other males. It is just a super easy and simple key to changing your life. If you have got everything else in the world, let's imagine you're already rich or living your dream life, you've got your dream woman, but you're fat and you're unhealthy and you can't walk up the stairs. Your life is going to be nothing. So really nothing nothing's worth doing without your health and good health will make life 10 times easier for you. The first step is obviously to give up boots. Once you've give up booze, you actually free up a lot of capital. I found once I gave up booze, I was freeing up maybe three to four hundred pounds a month.

I was spending on alcohol. That money you then invest in a gym membership if you haven't already. If you've already got a gym, then you need to invest it in gym gear and stuff that makes you want to go and do the gym. If you need to get a personal trainer get one, if you need to buy a training program buy one because it's investing in yourself and giving yourself that extra motivation that gets you in the gym and gets you the result. So if you need to have the best gym gear, spend the money you saved from quitting alcohol and spend it on gym gear so that you can now be excited about going to the gym and wearing your new clothes. I would recommend finding a fitness influencer with a body that you that you really like and then buying their program just to give you somewhere to start. If you want to join the gorilla tribe, if you want to check out my programs, the ones that I've used, I've got four programs that you get. You can go from complete beginner all the way up to expert and they're available in the link below. You just join the course you get access to the group. You can use code gorilla five for a discount on that that will get you in the close friends and the WhatsApp clown as well. But what this will do for your mind and body when you start to exercise you realize that you had a lot of pent up frustration and a lot of the issues that you think about in your head, the negative, the dark cloud that comes into your mental side is actually from not exercising.

It's not from getting a natural endorphin rush. So once you start to exercise you get a lot of clarity, mental clarity and you start to build a self confidence as well as feeling stronger fitter. Feeling stronger fitter faster and looking better. You'll also notice more attention from the opposite sex and it all starts to build up to this feeling of success and it's helped me massively to have a good physique. Makes you a talking point in the room as soon as you walk in guys will come up to you. Well, bro, what are you doing? Like to get arms like that or your shoulders are so big or girls will come up with Screge of muscles. It's it's a cheap code and anyone can have it getting a shape is not hard. It's simple. It's very simple, but it takes discipline. So follow a program stick to it. Get in shape. Make your life 10 times easier. I think that I started to do after quitting my 9 to 5 was start personal brand. I listened to a podcast with Bradley Colin Yurkeson, a young guy, young businessman. Same age as me who was talking about how he changed his life from a very similar story to mine from drinking alcohol and parting regularly working a sales job exactly the same as me.

It's a how he changed and built a personal brand and made 7 figures and completely changed his life in a couple of years. And it was this podcast. It was a it was a defining moment in my life. I hope that this video can be the same defining moment for somebody else to inspire you to make the change and really know that your life can be anything you want. And it really just takes one decision to change things because that podcast I remember listening to it driving in the car. I was coming back from I think one of my last days at my 9 to 5 sales job after I quit. And Colin talked about building his personal brand and and how before he knew what to do he just started posting daily on Instagram. And this is what I did. Now you post daily on Instagram stories and it acts as a journal and I realized a lot of my content was in the gym. That was my favorite content to make really whenever I was in the gym. I wanted to post and post pictures of myself and that sort of stuff and that is literally how I figured out where I wanted my brands to go and what I wanted to talk about.

If you do the same thing and you whatever you do you find yourself out in nature a lot talking about different types of trees and stuff maybe your personal branch will be built up around. Build up around trees and if you just it will bring out your interest that maybe you didn't realize where the passions that you have it will show you what you spend most of your time doing. If you really don't know where to start have a look at who inspires you when you watch people are on the internet who inspires you to do certain things and what's the message they're spreading and replicate it and put your own spin on it. Your journey is your journey becomes your brand this was so important so when you're starting off at ground zero so important you do daily stories and talk about yourself because you will inspire people that you never realized you would inspire on that journey from zero to 365 days when you change as a person. And it would be those people that support your brand when you eventually have a product or sell. So the journey becomes the brand people investing you that's why it's a personal brand.

Start posting daily get on social medias get a good profile picture on there start posting we are in the age of social media so it's a great great tool to have and your personal brand will help you generate income in the future work online and then you can travel around the world. This one just rockets you miles past the competition that are trying to do it on their own because when you find a mentor it is somebody who has done what you wanted to do and knows exactly how to do it. Now if you decide you just want to go out there on your own. Stab in the dark for years and years and try and figure out your own way you're more than welcome to do that but if you want the fast track if you actually want things to change them one year. I suggest you find somebody that's already done it and you reach out to them. Just make sure that it's a proper mentor somebody who's actually got proof in the pudding that has achieved the things that you want. It doesn't have to be someone that you pay for either it can be someone that you you admire at work it could be your box. You could literally go up to your boss at work and say look I love what you've built here I'd love to shadow you and see how you actually run your business. Is there anything I can do to make that happen or you could go to any high level person and say something like that or offer them something can return.

Or you can buy mentorship from people I think that's a great investment with the right mentor they can literally propel you if you five years worth of knowledge. In a month and you can implement that into your business into your life into your personal brand and excel and. It was three mentors in particular that have excelled me at certain points first one was Colin telling me to get on the personal brand. Is explaining to me how to do that telling me exactly how he changed his life I start to implement everything Colin said to me. Number two through Collins course I met a guy called David David David Dynasty on Instagram go and check him out. My boy but it's sort of like an older brother figure and we figured we have these life calls on Collins course every week and we were just by him we were just laughing at the same staff and we got in the chat afterwards that I'll David you want to jump on a call together I think we seem similar. I mean this guy through my through my year of transformation I spent a lot of time on my own because I've broken up my girlfriend and I'd speak to David on the phone late at night after the calls and we talk about business and he gave me a lot of ideas but the number one takeaway I got from David was.

He said to me why don't you do online personal training I was like well what's that he's like well it's when you train people online you dummy. Thanks David and he was like yeah you just get qualified you're obviously into your fitness like you've got quite good personal brand want you take your fitness stuff online help people do that and I'd never I just never thought of it before and some people they put it in your head and I followed through on everything David said and and here we are now and that's sort of how I built my online income was online personal training now going into more of a course model with building a tribe but it really really changed things for me having that mental. And my third mental is what leads me to speaking to you now on on YouTube and it's quite so important that the five people you spend the most time with it so you become like and you'll know that recently I met Hamza and we just ended up becoming friends who through no particular reason just the fact that I only decide to have friends that add to my life in a high value and. Hamza came along at a time along with Sam and Bill where they're all high value guys and we get on so we ended up being friends him before this I'd always wanted to do a YouTube Hamza obviously does YouTube and Hamza just told me Jack I think you'd be great on YouTube but you I think you've got a great way to talk into people mate I really want you to do a channel and you know I did this is where this is where you make the gains as soon as Hamza told me that it was the push I needed to go and make YouTube and you don't think about it you just do.

So I went and released my first video that night that then showed Hamza I was serious and he invested time in telling me how to produce my YouTube videos invested time in helping me and it's that action when somebody when your mental tells you what to do that you just have to have blind faith and Hamza said to me it's one of the things he likes most about me if I listen to if I hear something from someone who's obviously achieved more than me I'll do it like that I'm just waiting to know what to do and then I'll go with it so a mental can help you master it. Possibly that's how three mentors help me get to where I am now. A tribe pulls you up a tribe keeps each other accountable and there's there's protection in numbers and the reason this is so important is because if your boys can all help each other cross promote you can go on each other's channels you can look out for each other you can bring each other up when you're down you can have accountability partners a tribe is a really really powerful thing you're not going to make it out there as a lone wolf I've been alone more before it's important to have that period in your life but in the end you want to be in a few moments.

You can't just go on a tribe just a tribe of people that are elevating and on the same trajectory as you if you don't end up in a tribe you'll get eaten alive out on your own there's just more strength in numbers if you want to join our tribe use code gorilla five a checkout click the link below you can join the gorilla tribe we're all about sort of business health fitness test and you can just go on just domination all those things and looking out for each other so go check it out gorilla five gets you money off gets you into the WhatsApp group gets you on my close friends list and the next thing you want to do is cut out negative relationships if you don't like the girlfriend if you've got friends that keep pulling you down you need to separate yourself it's better to be alone than be with them and find another tribe the internet as your friend you can find people on the internet that you would never meet in real life the problem with being a high value man is that you want in a thousand if you're in your town it's very hard to find another one in your town. You can find another one in a thousand guys so you can find this where they all hang out like on the internet and certain groups and you can meet them in there so the internet is certainly your friend when finding high value guys to help you on your mission.

So you've got to know where you want to end up you want you need to know what life looks like when it's changed you've got to have direction you need a map you need to create space to think so the problem with me was when I was drinking using drugs I was very numb and unaware of how unhappy I was with my life now when you cut all that away you can't even get it out of your life. When you cut all that away you start to feel very uncomfortable but you still don't really have enough space to think if you've got nine to five and you start going to the gym you're kind of so busy that you don't have time to think about what you want so take a day off work from your nine to five do not schedule anything don't meet anyone they this is a day for thinking go outdoors walk no technology and just think think about your life we do not leave enough time to think about things to allow ourselves to have new ideas you need to create space once you've created that space. I want you to sit down with the notion template that I've created and go through the video I created on how to build your dream life I'll put the link underneath this video so when the time comes clip that video boys and go through that exact thing how to build your dream life and your goals I've done a whole video of it it's incredibly important you then review that daily you need to also scare yourself.

If you feel like you're not going to follow through with the things you write down write down how your life will look in ten years if you continue on the path that you are currently on make every day goal orientated so each night before I go to bed I write out my schedule for the next day of exactly what I'm going to do and this you need to do every single day there should not be a day without schedule you need a schedule for the day so you can get things done that are constantly on track with the mission you want to complete set three key goals for the next day these are completely tasks these are not brush your teeth put your shoes on these are not on there these are the three things that are going to provide the biggest gains to your life give it all a timeframe throughout the day also do daily habits gratitude journal you need to remember what you're grateful for just make sure happy a person just makes life better meditate for ten minutes you'd be surprised at how this changes your mindset really allows you that little bit of time of to relax and to just become more present with your body to not get so wrapped up in the past and the future to have some time in the present

I do one piece of content and I make sure I exercise there they're my daily habits and they have led me to greatness finally you must read these are why you need to read is because when somebody writes a book let's say they're 75 years old and they've lived a whole lifetime and they've become very successful they can give you the wisdom that they've acquired through 75 years of living in a book that costs seven pounds roughly five six seven pounds usual book cost that person might be so rich that you could never sit in a room with them but you can get everything they know seven pounds now that is a ridiculous return on investment you could acquire the knowledge of the greatest minds in the world just by reading without having to meet anyone and that's available to any person on the planet these are the most influential books that I've read and that really affect me over the last year and have helped me change my life so first ones for our work week by Tim Ferriss this will change the way that you view work the way that you view work and reward time and money this book is fantastic

gives you practical steps to creating online income was one of the reasons I moved to Thailand Rich Dad Poor Dad just changes the way you think about money it's an absolutely essential books to read you shouldn't be thinking about money the old way read Rich Dad Poor Dad change your life forever how to win friends and influence people you're not going to get far if you can't talk to people properly and this will change the way you think about interactions with people it gives you practical tips an absolute stunner of a book you should read every year hard times great strong men change the way you think about challenge challenges are great thing not bad thing embrace it and awaken the giant within this one really helped me change my mental mental state help me stabilize my mind to allow me to follow the rules to success the things that I followed this year reading that book allow me to become a lot more stable and increase my mental health and it's an absolutely brilliant book for just changing your mindset and the way you feel about life but that has been a long one I really wanted to provide value for your boys on that

I'm just super grateful for where I am right now in my life and I hope that in a years time if you watch this video you will be in the same position I've just absolutely gratitude for how far you've come and be really impressed just with what you've done in a year and I just wanted to give that back to you boys so I hope and pray for every one of you and I know that you can achieve things if you need to talk about anything reach out to me on Instagram I'll answer as many questions as I can join the tribe if you want personal access to the WhatsApp to come in a group of light-minded guys will help you elevate and get to the top but that is all for today folks I'll see you on the next one WAPA! WAPA! WAPA! WAPA! WAPA! WAPA! WAPA! WAPA! WAPA! WAPA! WAPA! WAPA! WAPA!
