Chaps, welcome back. It's been a while, but back on the daily vids. And the title to this video is slightly misleading because I actually believe that you can completely change your life in an instant. The changes that have happened in my life all start with a decision. And this video will hopefully help you make that decision. So your life will change today. By the end of this video you will be a new person because it all starts in the mind and then reality catches up with you. But this video will help you make that change, decide who you want to be, and then give you the tools and the systems to changing and altering your reality so that you have completely changed your life, your mindset, and your reality within one year. No matter where you start, and the reason I say no matter where you start, it's because for anyone that doesn't know me, I started pretty close to the bottom as you could get. And I don't think it matters how much you fucked up your life. No matter what you've done, forgive yourself, turn over a new leaf,
start making the changes that you need to make to improve your life from today. For anyone that doesn't know my story, about 18 years old, I went to university, there's a lot of guys do from the UK, and I got involved in the party scene, in drinking drugs, chasing that feeling that I think every man wants, that feeling of power, that feeling of confidence, of getting women, of living the high life. And I wanted the shortcut there. I wanted the shortcut when I was younger, and that led me to a place where, by the end of, I dropped out a union my first year, but by the end of the stay around my university town, where I lived for three or four years, I was living in pretty much a drug house, and I drank a couple bottles of wine every night for a year and a half, so it was an alcoholic, and I was incredibly anxious, incredibly depressed, couldn't leave the house without drinking, I was taking cocaine, ketamine, ecstasy, all to try and feel powerful and up, and I realised that that absolutely does not bring you a happy and a fulfilled life.
And I started from the complete bottom, in debt, with nothing, having destroyed my body, and my mindset, and I managed to claw myself back to make a beautiful life that I'm improving on every single year. So no matter where you are right now, don't worry, just forgive yourself for the things that you've done, and start making the change today. Now all this begins I found with working from a high vibration, being in a high vibrational state, I always knew I like to feel good, that's why I did drugs and alcohol, because I wanted to be in a high vibration, but you cannot shortcut a high vibrational state. Anything that goes up must come down, so if you're using any substances, weed, alcohol, drugs, any of that will bring you a come down. Content, even for example, short form content, you want to fill up, you laugh at some videos, all of that brings you back down in the end. So you have to first find a way to get into a high vibrational state every single day and clear your body and your mind to think clearly. Then you can start to change your life, then you can start to make positive change. One thing I found is if you
craft the body, the mind will then follow. You don't normally wake up in an amazing mindset at a high vibrational state, that doesn't happen very often, and if you only work on the days that you feel good when you wake up, you're not going to be doing a lot of work. So the way to get into that state is not through thinking about it, it's not through thought, it's through action. When you craft the body, the mind catches up. So the first thing you need to do is drop your vices for starters. Anything that brings you up has got your mind fucked up, drugs, alcohol, all of that needs to go. Drop your vices today and leave them in the past and start working with clarity. The next thing I do is when I wake up at a daily cardio and the reason why is to get oxygen in the brain, I do a half an hour run fast as I can and I get oxygen in the brain, I get endorphins flowing, and any bad mood that I had going into that day is cleared out by that run in the morning. I then do some lifting because who just wants to have a run as physique, you want to lift, you want to look good, you want to get girls, you want to look like fucking James Bond on steroids. So then we do our lift
straight after we do that daily cardio and then it's about the information you put in your brain. So in the morning I read a self-development book at the moment I'm reading The Richest Man in Babylon. Fantastic, great lessons in that book, I highly recommend it. But the importance of that 10 pages reading every morning after you've done your lifting is you've had the high vibrational state of putting oxygen in your brain, you're feeling good about yourself, you're in a positive mindset to take in information and now you're putting in high quality information to give your ideas and to mold your reality to the world. Just doing that alone if you don't currently do this, if you don't currently wake up early, get your cardio in and do some reading in the morning, that will change your life this year just on its own because once you're in that state, everything else becomes easy, your bad mood is gone and you are able to conquer the day. Once you've dropped your vices, once you've started this routine, you will begin to get clarity and you'll look at your life now that you can't escape just as I did. I looked at my life and I thought, wow, this is actually quite difficult to deal with because now I'm seeing it raw,
I'm seeing it raw, what I've done to my life and the things that I have to fix. So the next thing you'll probably have to fix when you start looking at your reality is the fact that you don't have any money, that was the fact for me. I'd spent all my money on drugs and alcohol, I had debt and that was about it. I had really no money at all and the key to freedom I found and completely changed your life actually lies in getting that first $10,000 together. This is millionaire bootcamp and I'll tell you why you, making that first 10 grand will be difficult, getting that saved will be difficult but it's nowhere near impossible, I'm going to give you the system to do it but when you get that first 10 grand that's your freedom fund and more importantly, getting that money together teaches you the lessons that in the future will turn you into a millionaire. This is still the system that I use to this day with far more than 10 grand in the bank. So you can use this right now if you're rolling in cash to increase your wealth and you can use it if you're starting from debt, you can use it if you're starting from zero. But the first thing we have to do is get 10 grand in the bank.
If you want to change your life this year you need 10 grand, that's your freedom fund. So how do we do this? I learned to save from a book by Dave Ramsey called Total Money Makeover and the system that he uses starts like this. So you are probably using if you have no money, one bank account and you're spending from that bank account the same way I did. I never checked my bank. I was always just spending spending spending every month and I never checked where my money was going and therefore my money left me. I had not cared for it, it left me, it left out the door and I never saw that money. I never had anything left at the end of the month and then at the end of the month I'd used my overdraft. This was the reality for me and all the people I was around when I was at university was that you spent all your money and then you spent your overdraft and then you got some more money, it paid off your overdraft and then you spent your overdraft again. So if you're in that situation this will fix that. And the first thing you need to do is create a bank account. So what I did was a separate bank account to my card that I used every day. I got a bank account that I could not take money out of. I got a bank account with no card so you can do this in a
couple of ways. You just go into the bank and get a normal bank account but cut up the card and then the only way you're going to be able to get money out of that account if you don't set up mobile banking is by going into the bank and taking that money out or getting them to transfer. That's what I decided to do. I went and got a bank account, cut up the card, I didn't have the mobile banking. All I could do is I had the information to send money into that account. If I ever wanted to get it out I had to go into the bank and ask them to send me the money and that was enough friction for me to not dip into that part and take that money out for little things that I wanted. It's all about building a discipline around money. So first thing you do, separate accounts. Next thing you need is a bit of momentum and I found the momentum was for me getting the first thousand dollars into that account and I recommend you do this by selling anything that you don't use. I think this is all about simplicity. When you cut out unnecessary spending and you also cut out all the clutter and shit from your house. Anything you've got a value that's not improving
your life, sell it. If you're sitting there with a PS5 right now and you don't have 10 grand in the bank, sell the fucking PS5, sell the fucking things that you use for entertainment, sell all your games, sell clothes that you don't want, sell all the things you got lying around your house, declut your house and get your first thousand dollars together and put it into that account that you can't touch. That's going to give you an emergency fund so it will stop you from getting into debt if anything happens in a month that's an emergency rather than having to use a credit card. You've now got that thousand there. You've got a little bit of buffer on life. It's not a lot, thousand dollars not a lot can go very quick but you know now you've got a little bit of security there. Something bad happens to you to pay for a new tire on your car. You can get that out of that account if you don't have enough in your normal account and then you replenish that account. Now you have to save an absolute minimum 10% of what you earn and an absolute minimum as much as you can ideally but a minimum 10% everybody can save 10% no matter where you are right now
and the way you do this go through your bank account and have a look where are you spending your money. Most of us don't know where our money is going it is just leaving us without us realizing what we're spending it on. Go through make a list of necessities things you have to pay for and cut these down as much as you can. If you've got memberships there that are running that you don't really use if you've got memberships for entertainment, crime, Netflix, Amazon all that sort of stuff cut it all off because at the moment you need that 10 grand and you need it fast. So you cut out all of that spending anything unnecessary now I know where my money's gone. I've made a list of every bill that I need to pay and everything I need to run my life to have a budget so that I can live and this is how much I'm going to be able to save if I do that and I'm not going to spend over. When your money comes in at the start of the month you know okay you make $2,000 I have to have one and a half thousand dollars to live and all my expenses and $500 is getting sent straight to that account every month that I don't touch and in this period of time you live as simply as possible
because trust me you're not going to need to live this way forever you're going to have enough in your budget so that you can have the things you want again that you can spend a lot but right now you're cutting you're cutting for a brighter future you're cutting for next year's jack that's what I do for me I'm looking out for the future of myself and to do that we live as simply as possible in this time now some of you might have debt if you've got debt that's a huge burden if you've got yourself into debt it comes from being undecisive with money and not understanding finance but if you've got to a point where you spend more than you earn you need to eliminate the debt. The first thing you do is you make the emergency fund the reason we do this is so that you don't you need cash to draw from if you have an emergency rather than credit so before you pay off that debt get your thousand in your account to build that momentum you leave that thousand there and now that 25% you're saving every month goes to paying down your debts you go and pay off all of your debts and that's the first thing you do you've still got that thousand there but you're paying off those debts
every single month and what happens with this is you get a snowball effect where you start to take control and manage your life and your money and you see that account grow and you see it get to one and a half thousand and two thousand and two and a half thousand and you have discipline and you don't spend it on the things that you want and you get all the way to ten thousand dollars how to use the ten thousand dollars this was a big one for me when I got my first ten thousand now you're thinking fuck for me it took me a year and a half to save that much money so it's like this is a year and a half work of work what you have to do with that ten thousand dollars is buy your freedom it is a buffer that allows you to take risk so if you have grand visions for your life like I did my first ten thousand allowed me to move to Thailand I took a risk with that ten thousand that ten thousand is not for the markets it's not for long term investment this ten thousand is to make you into the person you want to be is to allow you to take risk to massively improve your life I don't think you should invest that ten thousand in anything other than personal growth and life
experience the investment into yourself will outmatch anything that you can make in the markets if you invest that ten thousand so that ten thousand once you've got it you've now got a choice to make for for me the choice was I was working a sales job and I was based in the UK and I wasn't happy there and I didn't want to live there anymore so I used my ten thousand dollars not to buy flights not to buy tickets I paid for that already with my monthly income so I had ten thousand actually in the bank when I arrived in Thailand that buffer allowed me to take a risk to move to a new country to have new personal experiences to go all in on my personal brand these are the sorts of big things that I think you should do that ten thousand dollars or if you want to stay at home if you're happy where you live that ten thousand dollars goes into getting around the right people and getting getting getting a better education for the thing that you want to do what's your saving that money you've got a lot of time to think so you start planning what you want to do with your life and who you need to meet what you need to learn to get there now ten thousand dollars as maybe in total
over a million dollars in cash collected because it taught me new skills I came out here I invested in courses I learned how to build a personal brand things snowboard now when I came to moving to Thailand a lot of people said to me oh you're just going to waste your money you're going to lose that ten grand you could you could get a deposit on a house you don't want that trust me you want to get to a level where you're making ten twenty thirty forty hundred two hundred fifty grand a month and you only get there by new experience and becoming a new person once you're at that level then you can start investing in other things and growing that wealth but at the start that ten thousand is all to become the best version of you is to learn new skills that allow you to make more money whether that be travel whether that be starting a new life somewhere else investing in a course invest in an mentorship that's how you use the ten thousand just so we click now I chose to travel with mine and I've actually believed that one month in foreign lands is worth four months at home and that's measured as a level of personal development I've noticed how quickly people mature
when they travel and I'm not talking about backpacking around Asia I'm not talking about going to find yourself I'm talking about going to a place with an idea and a set plan to make a business to make money online to learn something new to have a new opportunity something to develop yourself not to go on a holiday and spend time in excess into generosity otherwise you'll be on this you'll be on the next flight back home I've fucking seen it end of the month you spunk your money up the wall I've seen it happen time and time again and then they're back in that job they're back caged in and they need to save the 10 grand again the reason it gives you so much wisdom to travel I found is because of the new experiences you get you are forced to grow up and mature and manage yourself on a higher level so I strongly suggest that you travel and see some of the world and it will force you to evolve and at the same time you make sure you make money and you keep putting money away on that savings account and you try not to dig into that 10k too much but when you
go away and travel I've been traveling for two years I've been out of the UK for two years almost to the day in various places around the world so I started my business so I started my YouTube the new environment allowed me to become a new person that's why it was so big and in those two years I've matured eight years I've got I've had eight years worth of growth in two years you know how quickly you will outmatch people who stay at home in their common scenarios and with the common people around them if you decide to make that move next one bit off topic but never masturbate again yes it probably quite upset about that a lot of you probably like doing that I like to do that when I was younger I completely stopped doing that and the reason why in the UK and in the west they'll tell you masturbating is alright it's a healthy habit it's healthy thing to do you know just spunk all over your bedroom that's that's really healthy you know it's not healthy when we think about it even when I'm saying it I'm like that feels weird that feels fucking odd that feels
like something a loser would do and that's that's why because it is that is what a loser would do and the reason behind this the reason why this is actually very essential to your success and changing your life is for this reason the body is built to reproduce it's the key driver in your brain power and your motivation to elevate your situation in life it's the fact that you do not have a mate you can't find a woman good enough to mate with you can't find a woman that wants to be with you and have sex with you now what your body will do is it will use that energy to improve your life to a point where you are a provider and a protector where you can reproduce because you can find a mate now whether you decide to go with that mate and and have sex with that person and come is up to you you can hold on to that energy you don't have to let it go with a mate but to start with if you're at a point where you can't even find a mate and that's why you're watching porn masturbating all the time the body will then think that it's a accomplished emission it will think wow I'm good enough to mate with someone we don't need to do any more work
that's where you get period of relaxation a period that makes you lazy because your body thinks it's ultimate goal is complete complete retaining that power will give you the ability to become the person that can reproduce and mate with a good mate that's why you keep hold of that energy if you're at a point where you can't find a woman and you have to masturbate it means you've not done the work that should then make you angry or sad or down you then use that feeling that emotion and think I don't want to feel this way anymore and you make changes in your life you follow the rules you follow the part you become a person woman want to be around and then you can find someone to mate with you can do whatever you want but until that point and after that point never masturbate again it's a waste think of all the beautiful women out there that could be taking that seed and you're just spunking it on your parents bedroom no not in your parents bedroom hopefully in your own bedroom in your parents house you feel free animal so stop doing that don't touch yourself let women touch you this is just a shame there's so many beautiful women I can't
get through through all of them I need some help so don't don't want to use that energy for women and for improving your life next thing you need to know the common path yields common results do not take the advice of anyone who you do not want to live like I'm sure you guys have seen my live through through my videos through my Instagram you see how I live I personally love my life I live a fucking awesome life but if you don't like my life if you don't like the way that I live and the things that I do and you don't want a life like me don't listen to me don't listen to me I'm not saying I'm right I'm just saying if you want a life like mine this is how I've achieved it and that's how you should think about every bit of learning you do that's why I had such a big problem at school in university because the people that were teaching me I didn't want to be like and it fucks up the message you're like why would I listen to you when you haven't done what you said and you also don't have a life I won so that's the first thing you need to do you most of the time going to be speaking to ordinary people they will give you advice everyone fucking loves giving advice if you listen to ordinary people about their ordinary lives with their ordinary advice you
will become an ordinary person so find somebody whether it be me Andrew Tate Wes Watson Imang-Gazzy someone with a life you aspire to and only listen to those people only listen to the people that have done what you want to do because to live an extraordinary life it takes extraordinary actions and the people that have achieved those things know the actions to take most people like to submit to weakness they like to have their comfort they work the minimum amount in a day so that they can earn their rest the guys at the top conquer weakness and become stronger and stronger and stronger they do the most work and never look for time to rest this has no limit the more you conquer weakness whether it just be going and reaching for something you want to eat right now and saying no whether it be scrolling on tip top whether it be going and masturbating and you say no it puts a little power up in your bar and your power becomes more more you build confidence and things become easy to you every time you have weakness in your mind I'll give you an example
when I do my run in the morning everyone has this voice you're not you're not unusual if you have this voice everybody's got it Jack should we just do a 3k we want to get to our lifting we're a bit short on time you have to be very careful with this voice because it can trick you it's very sneaky so we'll say Jack you're let's just do a 3k let's let's turn the speed down a little bit we need we need a rest today the way you deal with this voice is with discipline and you tell him I say to my brain if I'm doing a 5k and it says let's do a 3k or 4k let's put all the speed down a bit you motherfucker do you want to do a 7k do you want to do a fucking 10k I say that to the voice in my head maybe I'm insane but that's what I say do you want to do a fucking 7k at double to speed do you want to do a fucking 10k voice in my head no then shut up because we're doing this and we do what we say we're going to do and we do it every day same if it says Jack don't make a YouTube video today do you want to do two do you want to do three because I fucking run the show
here I run the show I'm the boss I say what goes every time weakness pops up in your mind give it an ultimatum so you can either do this or you can do way fucking more up to you and eventually your mind will stop speaking to you in that way because it knows that you don't take any shit either that or I'm completely wrong and I'm actually an insane person which is a possibility next thing you need to do change your social environment surround yourself with winners and you will become one this was so big for me changing environment you can never become who you want to be if you want to be a multi millionaire living in a drug house in Bournemouth that I could never have done that I needed to change my environment and you have to really understand change and welcome change in your life your life will work in phases and your year will work in phases and you don't have to stay in one place just because you feel indebted to the people around you a lot of times
people serve a purpose in your life and then you move on and I've never had a problem cutting up negative influences because I know how to do it politely a lot of people think it takes some big conversation that they have to let their friends down your friends don't even have to know you just tell them what you're planning to do and going forwards in your life and you just remove yourself from the situation and you're still friends and you still say your friends and you are still friends and a lot of the people that are maybe more negative influences in my life I'm still friends with we're still friends I still love them I don't hold it against them I just want to change me and anyone that has a problem with you changing yourself and becoming a better person isn't your friend and if they are a friend which mind work they love to see it and inspires them to change themselves but oftentimes it just means changing your environment getting away from those people if that's your mum and your dad you say look mum dad I'm moving out I just need to feel more like a man you don't love I said you don't say mum and dad it's because you're fucking so negative and you bring me down every day you just say yeah I just want to feel
more like a man I want to move myself out of the house I want to really make you guys proud that's what I want to do and you move yourself from the environment and you start to change your life it's very very simple you don't hang out with the bad people anymore sorry I can't do that I really want to fucking get ahead this year I'm going to the gym instead I can't come out party with you guys that's how you talk to people and every influencing your life from now on you should try and make positive because it has a huge impact on who you become you will become the people you spend the time with everybody says that everybody understands that you have to live it you have to live that same with music same with movies same with content don't put negative shit in your brain don't put negative music in your brain if I watch movies like the Wolf or Wall Street I want to fucking go out and party smash hookers and do loads of drugs so I don't watch that movie anymore I watch movies positive movies like Rocky and makes me want to become a boxer that's how you should think about everything you put in your brain has a huge impact you actually have the ability to completely change the world and the reality around you and I'll give you a perfect
example of this in regards to relationships so a lot of guys will say when they get a girlfriend oh I'm lazy because of my girlfriend you are actually she is actually lazy because of you I found that women especially mold to the person that you are they're like a mirror if you're girlfriend or your wife is misbehaving if she's engaged in bad habits if she's not a positive person it is pointing a mirror and reflecting it back at you she will become you're meant to be the leader in the household and I've seen this time and time again I've led as a negative influence I've had girlfriends during dark paths they became like me they became exactly the same as me and I've had girlfriends in positive times in my life where they become exactly like me even if they were even if they were the same as me before negative influences you actually decide what happens in the world around you you build your own reality for me I can go to a party and I can be the so-called one and I can enjoy myself and offer that two or three of my friends might decide
they're going to be sober as well and they don't go out that night they don't go to the casino they don't go to the strip club they save thousands and that was all because I decided to go in there with a strong enough ability to be who I want to be and that massively impacts other people and I've gone into parties before and I've been the life of the party and I've turned the people that didn't want to drink into drinkers and I've made people go not made them but influenced them in a way with my personality that took them down a darker path that led us into the strip club I love the strip club but you shouldn't go there all the time let us into the casinos you have the ability to change your life and the life of the people around you use that impact positively it's it's absolutely essential that you learn how to do that and to finish up this video I want to tell you this everything you need is coming to you the lessons that you need to learn the money that you want to earn it's all coming to you in good time as long as you follow these steps as long as you make sure you're bettering yourself every day that you're turning up consistently that you're
doing the best in your life you'll get everything that you need if you stick to that plan you continue to learn but anything that comes to you before your time you might wish to be rich tomorrow as I always did when I was younger I always wish to be rich instantly I always wanted to win the lottery anything that you win before your time anything that before you before your time good fortune will be squandered you have to learn the lessons you have to live the life the game is not about the trophies the game is not about what you get at the end the car that you have the money that you earn it's about the person that you become that's all of this is focused around that completely changing the person you are your reality will begin to fit fit that the most important thing you can learn is the wisdom so lads it's been a fucking pleasure great to chat with you guys again I'll be back every single day so you can fucking count on me to be here and giving you my vision of the world and how I sought my own life out and hopefully learn from it and become absolutely incredible
