“YOU 2.0” is like your future kid. It’s your duty to make decisions for him. It is wiser to marry a nice mom for your kid, not just a beautiful wife for yourself.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
That's it for today.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Do not set goals—set systems.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Procrastinates a lot.
Is dating in college necessary? Why and why not?
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
What was the worst decision you ever did?
What I need from you?
Porn blockers might help, but they won’t be as effective. And you know nudity isn’t just on Pornhub—it’s everywhere. Don’t joke with fire.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Why do wives cheat on their loyal husbands?
Does not procrastinate.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Ask yourself:
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
In 5 years, YOU will still be the one making decisions. And if you keep your current habits, "YOU 2.0" will have big problems.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.

Big dreamer but only in his mind.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Keep in mind that, there is always a system for any problem. You just need to be willing to think hard enough and BE WILLING TO MAKE SACRIFICES.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
PICK 1 important thing you want to quit or bring into your life in 2025. Think hard about a system that will make it impossible or inevitable.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
