I've started 20 projects 19 have failed but one has done well enough to call it a success that's a 5% hit rate this video is not only a reflection to why those projects failed but lessons that I've taken from the one successful project I've worked on to help you get ahead of 99% of people as well picking the right game to play and not play for me I chased the trendy thing at the time I gave no thought to the skills I wanted to build and I got burned all the goals you have in life
are just two to five core skills that if you can get good enough at can help you reach your goal these skills have smaller skills forming a tree likee structure it may look hard but the good thing to know is that all of these are skills and all skills can be practiced and with enough time mastered if you look even further these skills are really just habits that if you can do long enough to become automatic essentially guarantee that you can build any skill you want now what about goals that don't have a clear path
like a career it's the same thing find two to five skills that make you useful to the world and get good enough at them this intersection of skills makes you unique this Focus puts you right in the middle where you don't need to spend $10,000 hours getting good at a single thing nor do you have 10 plus surface level skills that anyone can learn in a weekend you create a special place for yourself where instead of competing against millions of people for the same skill you create a path where you could be one of the
first ones to excel in but this means you'll need to focus if you know that you're two to five skills away from your goals forget the hot new thing forget blindly chasing a path set by others all of those won't help you this is the price you pay for what you want figure out how to work hard for me I wasted so much time trying to learn everything I could before getting started so a few of my projects never made it past a logo design when you build skills you can consume content or you can
do things you should learn just enough to get started do something and only when you get stuck go back to learning this is a never-ending cycle but working on something with intention is always better than wasting your time trying to find the next piece of content you don't want to be the person who Wast years not being able to waste hours if you don't know what to do next think about someone with the qualities you would like to emulate what would they do next Once you have an idea go do that it's ultimately becoming a
person with a high bias for Action speed is important because you get fast iterations even if you go in the wrong direction you'll find your way back because of the thousands of small decisions you'll make when you do things do them a lot until you know what good looks like then it's almost always better to focus only on doing good work because the world rewards Excellence a 100 times more than it does mediocrity being able to focus on one thing is called building a strong work ethic once you go through the process of working hard
you can begin to apply Leverage in basic terms it is how much output you get for a single input as you begin to grow in skill you'll learn which things you do are High versus low leverage but this is only done by putting in the work every day if you want an app to help you get started I've taken all the steps from my on your life video and put them into an app this time it's available on both Apple and Android the video seem to have helped a lot of people the app is mainly
a way of tracking your progress using the six steps I don't ever plan on taking sponsors so if you have the means it's a one-time purchase to get out of a rut and at any point in your life and to support the channel you know what you need to do to make progress you know the hard work needs doing today you know these things and yet you can't do it and that's okay for me I set massive goals but never built any proof that I could do the things that I said I would do big
goals small actions standing between you and your goals is a force called resistance you can simply think of it as the reason that stops you from doing what you said you would do it shows up every single day of your life but that's not a bad thing when there's resistance it can help you find the important work you're avoiding but there's way to lessen it and that is to just get started I don't care what you need to tell yourself or trick yourself into doing if you can get started the will to work will come
all your fears concerns and uneasiness about the work will slowly fade away you do what you need to do and you've built some evidence that you're capable you Pro to yourself that you can start and finish something tomorrow you'll face resistance again but this time you can look back at all the work you've done today and think to yourself that wasn't so bad because you're doing what you said you would do you begin to build trust in your word this is called confidence then with with your belief building you need to intentionally decide to win
develop a real belief that you can reach your goals and if you ever reach a rough spot you can tell yourself that this is where most people stop you've made it this far and unless your goals have changed you can make a pass today because you've done it before just because you failed in the past doesn't mean you can't succeed in the future you know what you need to do to get to your goals the new hack trick or system is not going to change your life in 2 weeks I was always looking for a
shortcut that would bring me to my goal with half the effort turns out it doesn't exist people all around the world and throughout history have done some version of what you want they have simply stuck with the same boring fundamentals over and over again it's the idea that everything in this world was made by people around you they bent the world to their will and created something out of nothing you can do that too the sobering reality is you have everything you need to become who you want to become the main thing is to not
think that you're smarter than you really are or in other words be consistently good because at the end of the day all of us have the same big goals it's the effort that sets you apart but to be honest most people don't even work that hard towards their goals either that or they quit too early and people quit too early because they didn't get what they wanted fast enough fast enough for what or For Whom the process is the only constant so you might as well make friends with it besides making good progress on something
is addictive to have your efforts compound upon themselves in something you care about is not a fleeting feeling it's a deep sense of fulfillment that close to nothing can compare to now what about monk mode or a given time you focus only on one goal I'm saying to be good for a long time while other people are saying to give up all your other goals in pursuit of something so what do you do learn how to work hard and push yourself first because if you've never focused on something for a long span of time you
don't know how far or hard you can push yourself in a monk mode be consistently good for months to years and build the muscle of focus then an opportunity will appear and that's when you can put all of your effort into it in short you need to be impatient with the short-term and patient with the longterm an urgency to move quickly right now but a perseverance to not give up on your goals if you're still going to go through this process how do you like like yourself while also chasing your goals have more fun the
project I'm working on right now is hands down the most fun that I've had in any of the 20 it's done the best but I've put all of the past lessons in getting here for you I want you to start by writing a detailed plan of how your life went write about how you became the top 1% in all of the parts of life that you cared about describe the events that have shaped your life detail the type of person you became then once you have a detailed account of how you live the rest of
your life inject some fun into it we all take life too seriously and having fun will always be underrated if you're asking how you can make life fun there's a childlike wond still inside of you let forth your wildest plans big or small and make an effort to do them having fun is a skill and like I said at the start of the video all skills can be improved it has an added perk if you have fun along the way you'll stick with your goals longer at the start of Life all we want to do
is worry about the future at the end of life all we can do is think about the past it'll be the moments that you had fun that you truly look back and want to give up everything to go back to it's the big moments it's the small moments every moment has the chance of having some fun you just need to look for it you see the biggest breaks in life aren't from window opportunities where you can see it all every risk every reward the pathway already paved for you no at some point in your life
you'll stand at the base of a door nervous with no idea what you're getting into but you'll have the excitement of doing something new something fun it's scary because you can't think your way through this process you can really only live through it and deal with whatever life throws at you however these can be the best things to work on but you'll never know unless you have the courage to stand in front of the unknown and carve a path for yourself that's it if you want a more detailed breakdown with examples of all the concepts
talked about here I made a three-hour long unlisted YouTube video which is linked below please consider subscribing check out the unstuck app and I hope that this video has helped you
