Three years ago to this very day I left my 9 to 5 job. I'm now sitting in Dubai, opposite the palm, and I've been looking at my laptop at what Lamborghini I want to buy, which will come very very soon. And I thought to myself today, what the fuck? How the hell did that happen? There was a three years ago, we had no idea what we were doing. We hadn't even made any content before, and now we're sitting here, and I want that to act as inspiration for you, that anything can happen in a very short period of time in your life, if you take action, if you start before you know how. And one thing I've definitely learned over the past three years of doing business, of building a personal brand, of building multiple online businesses, is I'm very good at doing things when I have no idea how to do them. There is no time to wait, tomorrow will never come. The whole reason I'm making this video in this format, rather than a PowerPoint, is because I haven't been making as much content as I want to make recently. I've been doing other business stuff, and I've been letting tasks get in the way, not your problem, my problem. I should have been prioritizing content,

and I got to the point where I was like, I want to make something amazing for my viewers. I want to make them an amazing video, high quality, fucking cinematic, guns, missiles, fucking special effects, CGI, maybe get the whole king for a feature. But it isn't going to happen. I don't know how to do that yet, and I thought, Jack, let's go back to our bread and butter. What do we know how to do? We know how to turn the mic on, so that's a good start. We know how to press recording the camera. You've got plenty of ideas floating around that, how do you use it? So let's just make a video. And that is the key to everything in life, is starting before you know how. The courage doesn't come before you do the brave thing. You're scared before you do the brave thing. The courage comes after. The confidence doesn't come to make money and go out and alone in business and do your thing until you make the move. The confidence, the courage, the thing that you want is all on the other side of passing over fear, and doing things before you know how to do them. And this is my very simple system for doing that, for getting rid of overwhelm, and going after the life that you actually desire.

I take a job that I'm scared to do. I take something that I am not able to currently figure out, and I break it down until it gets to a step where I can figure it out. So I had a dream a while ago that I wanted to move to Thailand and start a personal brand. Whilst I was sitting in my office day to day on my job and thinking, wow, this really isn't for me. I cannot do this for the rest of my life. I thought, what would I like to do? And then I watched the beach by Leonardo DiCaprio. And I thought, well, that seems cool. He's got blonde hair, I've got blonde hair. Let's go to Thailand. And have an adventure and film it. See what happens. And I thought, well, how do I do that? And I thought, well, if we're going to move to Thailand, we can't work this job. This job isn't going to let us do that. So we need some online income and we're probably going to have to save some money. So the first step for me was saving money. So I've read a book on personal finance. You can literally follow this word for word and do the same as me. I've read Dave Ramsey's, I believe it's total money makeover. If you type in Dave Ramsey, complete money makeover or total, you'll find the book. So I bought a book on personal finance.

That's the first thing. Then I read the book. And then I figured out how I needed to save my money. So I started saving my money. Then it stacked up over time and I got to a point where, okay, now you need to make a move. You hit your goal with 15,000 pounds for me. I hit my 15,000 pound goal. And then I was like, okay, I still don't know how to make online money. And I don't really know anything about Thailand or know anyone there. But what can I do? All right, I can book a flight. I've got enough money to book a flight. So I booked a flight. And then I went and got on the flight. And then I started making content. And then I bought a course on personal branding. And I started posting every day. And I didn't know what to post. And the first thing I thought to post and I'll bring it up here now. I literally thought to post credit tips because I had a high credit score. Out some of you want some help with your credit score. I'll give you basically one tip. I'll try and give you a tip a day. When I first got into personal branding. That was my million dollar idea. Out the stuff was like, yeah, everybody needs a good personal brand. And finance. Finance as money in it. Let's do that. So I just started making content on that.

I didn't know what I was doing. And I started doing it over time. As I arrived in Thailand. Little update. He's made it. He's made it to Bangkok. He's tired as hell. All in all. Workout for 4.30 yesterday. Now 11. Having slept. Been on flights. But I made it. And I might have to be about that. As my content got better. As I became more aligned with myself by following my dream. I feel like I moved on to something that's quite a high level spiritual concept. Called your success life path. Your success life path is a destiny that was made and designed for you. And it seems as soon as you reach that life path, as soon as you make the scary jump to put yourself on that right path, that right destiny, things start to fall into place.

And that's exactly what happened to me. Everything aligned perfectly. The stars aligned because I followed my heart. And I took it step by step. And I broke it down into very small manageable goals. And each time I completed one of those goals, it gave me the courage and the strength to complete the next goal. When I got on the plane to Thailand and I arrived, I kind of had the strength to then go and talk to new people when I was in the new country. And then I had the strength to fly around with a couple of guys that I met. And then I had the strength to make YouTube videos, even though I wasn't confident doing it yet. And then after I've done a few YouTube videos, I started to do more. And I felt more and more confident doing it. And then I was confident enough to start a business. Then I was confident enough to scale those businesses. I was confident enough to charge more money for my services, for my time, for my network, for the things that we teach people. And over time, you become the person that you want to be. But understand right now, you do not know what to do. And that's absolutely fine. Break it down to a step that you can manage. Take the leap of faith. Start preparing for that mission. Whatever it is in life, whatever you want to do. And take that jump because I can tell you right now,

fortune favors the brave. That's one thing I can guarantee. If you're just brave and you find the success path for your life, the thing that you're meant to do, and the way I find this, if you personally want to know my tip for finding what you should do, under everything else, there's jobs in the way, there's ways to make money in the way of this. But underneath what you're trying to get to, is ask yourself what you would do every day. If you already had $100 million in the bank and you've done all the fun to shit. If you bought the cars, if you've been to the parties, if you traveled the world, and now you've got 50 years of life left, and you've got to sit there and do something every day and you mention. What would you do? What I came to in that situation was, I would move to a hot country, Thailand, first tick. I would do fitness every day. I would work out of the gym because I genuinely enjoy it. Second tick. Third thing, most of you don't know. I would make movies. I like to make movies. I like watching movies. I like making them. I like doing content. I like inspiring people. And I like the fact that when you watch a movie, it can completely change your brain, change your life. It's sent me to Thailand.

Movies that I've watched have crafted and shaped me as a person. And I want to give that back to people. What was my first step? I can't go and make a feature film, but I can make a YouTube video. And that's what I've done. And that's what I will continue to do and make these YouTube videos better and better and make them movies and achieve my dream at the end of the road. And I want you to do the same. Whatever it is in your life, take the first step. The path illuminates only when you walk it and never before. So boys, that is all for me for today. I was a bit stuck for getting back into content, being a bit of a perfectionist, shoot first, ask questions later. Don't ask for permission, beg for forgiveness. This is how I roll. I'm a doer. I take action on everything that I want. So if there's a thing in your mind right now, where you're thinking, fuck, I want to start that business. Start that brand. I want to move to a different country. I want to put someone in charge of my business so I can move abroad and live the life. I want, just do it, man. Take the first steps.
