look man life is hard and if you're trying to improve then it's even harder like I constantly used to second guess myself and consider giving up alog together but then seemingly out of nowhere everything came together for me I met the girl of my dreams we moved to a new city together and soon after that I started making some real money that being said here are the hidden signs that you might be closer to becoming a top 1% man that you realize or maybe it's the opposite in your case and you're actually further away than
you think and look these are not just for my life alone but also from the lives of the other top men in my network who experienced basically the same exact things just before they made it big so pay attention lock in watch all the way to the end of this video and see how many of these items you can check off your checklist number one partying seems lame bro I remember how epic it used to feel when I was rolling up to a classy nightclub with my Bros it was like the adventure is about to
begin we're going to get drunk we're going to talk to some girls get some phone numbers and for sure we're going to create some wild stories that we're going to tell tomorrow as we're all hung over and feeling the pain man I used to literally live for those Friday and Saturday nights but what I realized as I started to get momentum in other areas of my life I started seeing gains in the gym I started getting traction with this YouTube channel 100,000 subscribers on YouTube baby I finally had attractive girls who were into me and
were down just to come over and chill and at that point the night life it just started feeling a bit pointless it's like I've been there I've done that I know what that life is about I don't need to be surrounded by drunk people in a dark room the next 3 hours it's just I'm good on that so if you can relate to this that likely means that you're starting to accumulate that momentum in other areas of your life as well number two your parents trust your decisions so my baby girl is going to be
born literally any day now like by the time you watch this video she might be sitting next to me on this couch just chilling and because of that I finally get it because already I am extremely worried about her overall health and well-being and I'm sure it's going to be that way for her entire life and that's how your parents feel about you as well so because of that it's normal when we decide to create our own path in life that our parents get a little bit uneasy they're like what do you mean you're not
just going to get a salary job and work your way up the corporate ladder until you die they just don't want us taking unnecessary risks and ending up in a bad situation like I'm already afraid for my unborn daughter bro I get it so looking back on my life the moment when my parents started to trust my risky decisions and that didn't happen right away you know when I quit my corporate job they they were not cool with that but later on when I decided to move down to Texas where I didn't know anyone for
example and they trusted me that was an early sign you know they sensed it before I did that I was on the right path so my question for you is how do your parents feel about your risks or the decisions that you're thinking about making number three you no longer sense hostility from other guys earlier in my 20s I used to always play out these imaginary conflicts with other guys in my head like what would happen if I'm at the bar and I get shouldered and he looks at me you know what am I going
to say back to him so he doesn't disrespect me or when I would meet a new guy I'd be thinking you know I don't like this guy [ __ ] this guy this guy thinks he's better than me and the funny thing is even though I used to do that now it just seems kind of strange to me like at some point I stopped playing these mind games and compare myself to other guys like hm does he have more money than I do maybe my girl is harder than his though when you start to compet
against yourself instead of other men and now you know when I'm meeting people I'm just bringing warm emotions and trying to connect with them well that means that you're starting to focus 100% on your growth and your situation and if that's where your mindset is and you're no longer comparing yourself guess what that means that the results are going to follow very soon number four your anxiety is different so right now I want you to think what stresses you out seriously what stresses you out for me it used to be this wild variety of things
like damn why isn't this girl texting me back yet what should I even be doing with my life bro am I looking any more jacked than I did last month man I wonder if those guys are still talking [ __ ] about me right now and then what would I do well I would try and hide from these intrusive thoughts by scrolling Instagram or rubbing one out or playing some Call of Duty but at some point my anxiety shifted it's still there I think it's impossible not to have anxiety I'm a very anxious person but
now my anxiety is you know what more can I be doing today to make sure that we crush this launch of the new beastly app in January I feel like I haven't done enough today what what else do I need to be doing and those thoughts they drive me to compete every single day so my question for you is what is your anxiety saying to you number five there's more pain in your life this is the [ __ ] up thing about self-improvements it actually increases our pain level because now I'm out there you know
approaching girls and getting rejected that hurts now when I slip up and B I feel like a complete loser when I let an opportunity Pass Me By it sticks with me and it haunts me and I'm thinking man never again will I miss an opportunity like that versus in the past I'd be like oh you know it's no big deal you know whatever you know now you might be aware that your money and your career is not where you want it to be and it's painful to be aware of that and to admit that so
if you're feeling more pain in your life lately that's a good sign that means you're improving that means you're not hiding from the pain anymore but at the same time this is what makes self-improvement so challenging it can feel impossible at times like I'm not going to be able to stick with this long enough until I see results man it's it's not going to happen for me bro you know now I'm trying to improve and I feel alone and I'm facing all this pain and [ __ ] and that is literally why I created Beast
Nation Beast nation is what I wished I had back when I was getting started at a price point that I actually could have afforded back then you see with Beast Nation not only do you get access to live weekly coaching calls with myself where I can give you feedback on your exact situation but you're also joining a tribe of likeminded men who are pushing each other and competing to become the best versions of themselves in the videos you probably seen some of the recent inperson events we've done in Texas and in Spain everybody here is
just really open to get to know you and see where your life is at and for me surrounding myself with lifeminded people is something that is really important because you you can get their energy to be in this high energy state in order to you know take action so being able to connect with guys that have gone through similar things or on the same in the same path as you that's been amazing it's easier to like follow your goals and follow that path because you have like-minded people that are there to support you and that
are there to keep you accountable so if that sounds like something that would be helpful to your situation you can click that first link in description to learn more and join now heads up though once we get to January 1st Which is less than 2 weeks away the price is going to jump we kept it lower for the first year to reward the guys who took action and joined up if you join now you will be grandfathered in and locking that lower price for Life number six people are more reserved around you I'm not not
sure about you but for me it used to feel like people would just walk all over me like I was an insignificant part of the conversation you know I would have to react to them defends my position if they even acknowledged me or or cared to think what I said let's be real though back then I had a weaker presence and if you have a weaker presence it's natural that people are going to be less worried about you you're kind of just there but the same way if I'm talking to someone that I respect I'm
really going to listen to them I want to hear their perspectives and their opinion they can probably change CH my mind about something guess what people will treat you the same way if they truly respect you even people who've never met you before we all can kind of instantly recognize a man's level you know maybe it's his eye contact maybe it's his body maybe it's his style maybe it's the way he speaks maybe it's just the way that he moves but there's something that signals to us oh [ __ ] I got to listen up
to this guy so if people are still not treating you like that well that might mean you got more work ahead of you than you do number seven is getting harder to relate at some point in my life when I became competent I realized just how incompetence like 90% of the population is most people you know you're sitting there talking to them they're complaining about their life while doing absolutely [ __ ] nothing to change it they're not even trying to critically think about it so now whenever I notice someone complaining or speaking about their
life in this powerless way like they don't have the ability to to impact it I kind of tune out and I I can't really relate like the way I think now is if there's something I'm not happy about all right cool it sucks but what am I going to do about it that's all I'm thinking about okay what am I going to do about it so can you relate to what I'm saying or are you still complaining number eight new experiences seem exciting I used to have my routine I enjoyed the things I enjoyed and
I just wanted to do more of them I wanted to play basketball lift weights play video games watch sports but when something new came up that you know maybe I could try you know I'm all good I I would kind of shy away from it yeah you know learning a martial art that would be cool that'd be badass but I don't know that that kind of seems like a lot I I'll just keep doing what I'm doing can can you relate to this feeling now be careful it's easy to kind of cope here and to
tell yourself no I'm just locked in I'm just locked in David I don't I don't need to distract myself with new things but if I'm being honest what I was doing was hiding I was hiding from the unknown until I wasn't because at some point my confidence had grown and now these new things were like challenges like oo I'm not sure about that but I bring it on let's see what I'm made out of whether it's traveling to new places trying out new hobbies or diving into a tough conversation anything that kind of tests me
I'm excited about now so if you've noticed that you're more open to trying new things lately well pay attention that's a big hidden sign that your confidence is grown grown massively all right number nine you have less friends the harsh truth is that I used to spend a lot of time with friends because it was a convenient easy way to pass the time without being alone we could sit there play video games smoke watch sports and it was more comfortable it was easier than sitting alone and reflecting or trying to make trying trying to create
something some trying to be productive with my time but what you're going to notice is that as your time grows gr more valuable because you're hustling and you're using it as a resource rather than looking at it as something just to pass by to get to tomorrow naturally you're going to start avoiding passing the time by just hanging out with other guys so if you started to notice you feel almost a bit guilty inside in these environments well that is a strong signal that you're valuing your time and yourself more than you did before and
with that mindset I mean that's a game changer success is is inevitable at that point number 10 the dopamine just ain't hidden anymore dopamine was life bro like what do I got to do to get my next hit that's how I used to operate so I was always pursuing a girl so I could hook up with her and have that Feelgood moment you know I would be wanting to to sleep in or just chill on the weekends and watching Netflix because because it felt good and if you think about it when my life was not
advancing at all well naturally I'm going to chase dopamine because then I can at least feel good you know we want to feel good and if we're not feeling Feeling Good by growing well we're going to feel good by doing whatever else we can do but maybe lately you're starting to think bigger than that and when you start to think bigger doping doesn't mean that much anymore now now the real win for me is seeing some growth the real win is making sure that all of my businesses grow more in 2025 than they did in
2024 the real one is going to be sharing meaningful moments with my wife and my my baby to be [ __ ] the dopamine bro but be aware that this is a transition so right now maybe you're starting to feel like those dopamine activities I still like them but they're not hitting the same as they used to and it's tough because at first your life just feels a little bit more dull and empty but it actually means that you're on the right track and you're starting to focus more on the big wins number 11 you're
no longer sharing your wins so when I got that first career job as a software engineer man that title just sounded good I'm a software engineer and I knew that I was technically ahead of most people my age at the time so whenever I met someone new another guy or a girl I would let him know you know what do you do for work oh cool cool I'm a software engineer so my question for you is what is your biggest win that you're the most proud of and when is the last time you told someone
about it because at some point I realized the average person's not really experiencing that many new wins so it's kind of meaningless to to brag about these wins and instead I'm just going to be focused on getting the next win of my life and proven to myself what I'm capable of it's more important to me to get the next win than to tell you about my last one like if we're going to hang out let's just chill and connect no need to turn this into a a measuring competition number 12 girls are no longer your
motivation so I'm curious to know from 1 to 10 how hot is your current girl back when I was a lower level guy from time to time I could get lucky and I could pull a really attractive girl and that made me proud bro that was the motivation that's why I was working but as I started to level up in different areas of my life I realized luck mattered less because women have a sixth sense where they can immediately tell a guy's current level and his trajectory in life so when you're starting to level up
you're going to start to notice warmer reactions from more attractive girls no they're not going to be like throwing themselves at you taking their panties off at the gym and shaking their ass around in your face but they're going to be more warm and receptive when you speak to them and at that point I started to become aware okay I no longer have to be afraid of dying alone or with some ugly girl that I settled for and then naturally my focus started to shift to business instead of women and just to be clear this
is not some screw women I'm focusing on myself King cope no this is just a natural shift from external to internal motivation now the goal is growth itself rather than growth so that I can get hot girls basically what I'm saying is if you still feel like you got to get really lucky to pull an attractive girl keep working now speaking of hotter girls if you want to be able to lock one down and actually keep her interested but you need to move a little bit differently versus with average girls and that's why you need
