NOW is the TIME - Take Control of Your Life! Live for YOUR Dreams, Not Others! - YOUR GOALS! - 028

This has to be it. I mean this has to be the time for the change. Whatever it is, I'm not trying to impose this on you guys. I just believe that I'm not that special. I can't make me this special because everyone that I know is fucked up just like me. They say don't shit sometimes just like me. They've made mistakes just like me. And sometimes they're not satisfied with life. Just like me. So I have to believe in my heart of heart that I'm not that crazy when I tell you that that was the time. I built many startups most of them in the fan. So Bitcoin is exactly the place that I like to be. We're gonna end it right there. Let's just let's just jump right in. I don't need to to mill over this. There's a couple of things I want

to think about. The first of which is it is time. It is time to take control of your life. It's the time for me. Now is the time. I have no other time because now is the time. I have to take control of my own fucking life. I truly believe that most people are sleepwalking through life. How do I know this? Because I talk with them behind the corporate walls. Whenever I go into a client is an object lesson in slavery, lack of imagination, golden handcuffs, and all the incentives to continue to sleepwalk through that life. I can tell you. I can tell you. I know when enough is enough. I know when enough is enough for me is when I can do something and not even think about it. It has been so ingrained into my muscle memory. It has been so ingrained into

the patterns that have emerged and stuck with me as I go through the dysfunctional conversations that I have with leadership within large companies. This is all known. I'm not the savior of the corporate world. I don't have all the answers. But I understand complexity very well. I understand the constraints of complexity in large organizations very well because that was my playground for 10 plus years. I saw and I collect these patterns. And it was time. It was time for me to regain control of my life because I could sleepwalk through a lot of these conversations. And these are really important conversations. It's not that I wasn't highly engaged. I'm always highly engaged. But when I already know what the answer is going to be once they open their mouth, it's like, you know what? I can kind of turn off this side of my brain

here because I already know what the answer is. And it's not always that I have the right answer. But I've said a lot of answers over many, many years. And I collect them all. And I understand which ones generally come up. And generally, farewell. It's just like, you know, Henderson's law, right? Any significant time invested within an activity, avails you of higher levels of productivity in that activity and higher levels of efficiency within that activity. And that's exactly what happened with consulting. Now was the time. And I say it that way because that happened last year in March when I wrote the blog post. Now is the time. Now was the time. I think I understand why people go through crises because I go a lot through a lot of crises myself. You can ask the Booans. She's been through several identity crises of her

activity and higher levels of efficiency within that activity. And that's exactly what happened with consulting. Now was the time. And I say it that way because that happened last year in March when I wrote the blog post. Now is the time. Now was the time. I think I understand why people go through crises because I go a lot through a lot of crises myself. You can ask the Booans. She's been through several identity crises of her husband. She understands it because I move fast. I build fast. I go hard. And I get this shit done. And then you know what? I want to start sleep walking through it. It's time to try again. So she's been through that. So, you know, you know, when Americans have these midlife crises or middle of crisis, because I guess it's only one. Whatever the stereotype is. It's them

realizing that they've been sleeping walking, sleep walking through fucking life. They wake up and they realize that you know what? Fuck. Damn. I have done this for so fucking long. I no longer have to think. And let me tell you why that is so fucking pathetic. And I'm going to lean in because this is what I do. Because I care about you guys because this is what I care about. I care about you because I care about myself and I care about what I'm doing with my life. And I want you to care about what you're doing with your life because I want you to be great. I want you to be you I want you to have this life now. I'm not fucking Joe Austin or whatever the fuck prosperity gospel shit. I want you to have control of your fucking life. Let me

be let me lean in. I'm going to hurt your feelings now. But it's important for you to know this because this is the reason one of the core reasons why I left corporate America after being a slave for three and a half years at a large fortune 50 right out of college. Here it is. If you don't have a goal, you're working for someone else's goal. You could you could fill in any any uh synonym. You could talk about being a corporate slave or working for the man. Whatever you want to put in that thing fucking lampshade. If you're not working for your goals, you're working for someone else's. And I don't care if those goals of someone else's are well intentioned because they ain't my goals. It's not where I want to go. That's not who I want to be. I think I've been

maybe meant for greater or maybe you know what just maybe I'm fine with it. I mean actually it brings up and I I've actually had a conversation guys. I've actually had a conversation with someone who who messaged me and basically said Peter you're talking a lot about this change stuff but man I'll tell you I'm in a great place and they told me all about his situation and he was like but you know it's not ideal and it's not exactly where I want to be but you know I'm okay with that and I've been okay with that and I think I could still be you know happy you know doing this and and you know what my response to him was my response to him was the fact that you're messaging me about this means that you're not following your fucking heart because you'd rather

and he was like but you know it's not ideal and it's not exactly where I want to be but you know I'm okay with that and I've been okay with that and I think I could still be you know happy you know doing this and and you know what my response to him was my response to him was the fact that you're messaging me about this means that you're not following your fucking heart because you'd rather spend time DMing me and telling me who you don't know from fucking Adam your rationale and response to my Sunday sermon as to why you think where you are is exactly where you want to be. And I know I know I know this is this is this is like black and white so Peter there's no gray here well you know what I'm okay with that whatever give

me your excuses because you'd rather spend time giving me your fucking excuses than doing something about it that's fucking sad that makes me sad one of the best things about setting goals is you get to take control of your own life why because if you're not fulfilling your goals then guess what you're working on someone else's goals period full stop the second thing that I think it's important for us to consider when it when it comes to now being the time you start with these goals is with any type of setting goals setting some sort of vision for your life we talked about this in B9 DX within setting goals you are you are able to maximize your gains let's say Peter what the fuck does that mean I get to maximize that tron no I'm talking about maximizing your results wait I don't need

to tell you stories about all the top performers all the top athletes all the top innovators all the top entrepreneurs all the top whatever you already know who they are they were able to achieve maximum results those max gains because they had a vision forward have you ever have any of you ever heard of an accidental professional athlete have you I've never heard of any accidental professional athlete I've never met any accidental millionaire I've never met any accidental anything because wherever you are I look at you exactly where you are because that's what you is brother you waiting nowhere else you is where you is right now your life created that welcome to the fucking show but we we we celebrate the winners we celebrate the big the big times I don't give a fuck about those people celebrities all that bullshit I care about

you guys I want you to maximize your results in this life that you can control that you have autonomy over that you have sovereignty over that you have complete the ability to say within every day every minute of the day people say I fucking appreciate the fucking grind or I appreciate where I'm at or I appreciate this because you know I fucking earned it and I enjoy it I I love what I've been able to accomplish I love that I've been able to do this let's we don't even need to think about material bullshit just be grateful for and any if you're at at that place you've chosen that place to be content to be appreciative of where you are but if there's anything that's bugging you that needs to change we want to we need to maximize those fucking results we've never heard of

it I I love what I've been able to accomplish I love that I've been able to do this let's we don't even need to think about material bullshit just be grateful for and any if you're at at that place you've chosen that place to be content to be appreciative of where you are but if there's anything that's bugging you that needs to change we want to we need to maximize those fucking results we've never heard of an accidental athlete I mean this is our time this is our time to go to the fucking moon I mean I don't I mean I don't need to remind you if you listen to these stories I'm always bringing in that becoin this is the time I love this period in time this is the best time to fucking be alive this is the internet of money that we're

taking a part of at least a part of the social apparatus at a minimum I'm trying to build some infrastructure but we're trying to help build this spaceship that's gonna go to the moon we're trying to build it yeah oh you you know what even if we don't end up getting to the fucking moon you know where we're gonna end up we're gonna not among the fucking stars and so I find that to be a significant win regardless now John Durash says you are you are who you are in life is mostly because of the decision made in the past absolutely this is no accident he says you're not trying you're building quit try and just do it it's time to fucking go even if we shoot to the moon and we don't hit the moon it's high we're gonna end up among the stars

and so for me it's always worth taking control of your life it's setting these goals so you can maximize your results because you're gonna even if you don't get to the moon you're still gonna end up among these glorious glorious stars whatever that looks like for you whatever that moon goal is you can still end up a wonderful place controlled by you that is your own that you can be proud of I think the moments in time in my life so this is just me but I think the moments in time when I do not feel appreciative of what I have and what I've accomplished and what I've been able to do and the wonderful family I made with my own lines those lines though I mean if there are any moment and when I do not feel fully appreciative of everything that I see

I know man for me that's the time for me to build because something's missing for me for me the answer is not to seek out what's missing it's to just build in something set some insignificant goal that you can achieve immediately when you achieve it do it again you're creating a mental discipline to achieve what you'd like to achieve and you know what you get better at it as you flex that muscle that mental discipline shoot for the fucking moon the third thing the third thing I think it's so the lines yo those lines guys the third thing I think is so important when it comes to certain these goals is I've talked about so much is I believe above any politics above any religion above any spirituality above anything personal responsibility would change the fucking world we can actually probably be completely non-political in

it as you flex that muscle that mental discipline shoot for the fucking moon the third thing the third thing I think it's so the lines yo those lines guys the third thing I think is so important when it comes to certain these goals is I've talked about so much is I believe above any politics above any religion above any spirituality above anything personal responsibility would change the fucking world we can actually probably be completely non-political in a country if everyone just took fucking personal responsibility for where they are what they do what they say how they behave how they think that's it it's not that hard to understand it's just hard to do I can never complain about where I am I can't because I am where I'm fucking am because of what I've done it is my fault I'm here if you want to

look at it in the negative I don't look at it the negative I look at the positive I am here because I built it I designed my life to be here I can't not be not appreciative I have to be and and those those those those weak moments that that come over me that may just be more than just a you know a shitty day they turn into a funk a couple days that after a couple days it turns into we've talked about this turns into temperament I am self-aware enough to know when when when dissatisfaction or non-appreciation in my life for what I have what I've achieved what I've been able to do for me the temperament phase for me I know I must build I don't know what I what I don't know what it needs to be all I know is I

have to start building something because something's missing and the only way that I'm going to find it is by sitting down if that's what I need to do it's or doing something or pick up the phone or text someone or email whatever or just start flow charting if I want to go super fucking corporate sit literally on my big whiteboard just start diagrammage shit but that but that's that's how I work you don't have to work that way but I'm big I'm big guys I'm big into this personal responsibility shit it's not just the talking you're actually obligated to fucking act I one of the things I always tell people if they want to change their life I say you tell everybody now you want to change your life you want to you want to do something radical it doesn't have to be radical it

could be just starting out working out it could be starting to think differently about how to approach your career right we know I thought we're not talking about jumping off the fucking cliff but maybe you do maybe you've been sleep walking through life too long and it's time to make a change so don't come to me and say oh here's all the reasons okay great awesome appreciate it bra sweet okay so you want to do it okay now tell everyone you know that you're gonna do it tell everybody that you know that you're gonna do it tell your extended family who don't give a fuck about you and be like why you email me for the first time 15 years I don't give a fuck about you who you was again email him anyway tell him tell him you're doing something wild tell him that

it bra sweet okay so you want to do it okay now tell everyone you know that you're gonna do it tell everybody that you know that you're gonna do it tell your extended family who don't give a fuck about you and be like why you email me for the first time 15 years I don't give a fuck about you who you was again email him anyway tell him tell him you're doing something wild tell him that you need to get in shape and and your fat is fuck and it's time to go to the fucking gym he'll email your back and be like bro I kind of forgot that you were even alive but I you know I appreciate the email because you know I'm a kind of need to do that myself and I know we haven't talked in 15 years man I appreciate

you kind of reminding me to get up off my ass that's just one example that could happen or not I don't know tell everybody you'll be surprised at the responses you receive but I tell you overwhelmingly it'll always be more positive than you believe you know why because most people want to change and when you say that you're gonna change they project themselves on to you and say wow damn this motherfucker I've known him for 25 years I can't believe he's doing this shit man fuck what have I done and he's telling me he's gonna start now damn it I haven't even thought about where I need to be fuck this motherfucker I can't see you even if it's small like just start to work it out or even it's small saying that you're hey you want you want to audit a new class at

a university because you're really interested in a new new new career and you just you don't you don't want to you know eat off bite off the whole thing so you you've done the research you put in the time and you're just you're just gonna go and audit a free class at community college of a topic that you think is interesting that might you might consider getting into just fucking do it I mean I could go on for the rest of the night giving you examples of what you could do there's a fucking billion there's a billion things you could do tell everyone yeah stay positive yeah be positive but be fucking real don't lie to me I don't even know you don't lie to me bro like I get I get messages sometimes and I appreciate every message trust me I do with some

some of them some of them they're coming at me with like like some bullshit when they come out with excuses I was like well first off I didn't I don't know this is the first time you've ever DM me so I don't know you obviously you know you've watched me a lot and you think you know me and so you think that I can help you with this but this is the first time that I've engaged with you and and and and and it seems like a lot of what you're saying sounds like excuses to me and if I ever get that feel in my bones when this person's right right man out of the blue for the first time and it's and the feeling I get when I read it is this guy's like making fucking excuses bro you done my answer to you

this but this is the first time that I've engaged with you and and and and and it seems like a lot of what you're saying sounds like excuses to me and if I ever get that feel in my bones when this person's right right man out of the blue for the first time and it's and the feeling I get when I read it is this guy's like making fucking excuses bro you done my answer to you is tell everyone you know because if you can't tell everyone you know good thing you're not serious you're a serious anybody anybody got to be deceived here this has to be it I mean this this has to be the the time for the change whatever it is I'm not trying to impose this on you guys I just believe that I'm not that special I can't be this

special because everyone that I know is fucked up just like me they say don't shit sometimes just like me they've made mistakes just like me and sometimes they're not satisfied with life just like me so I have to believe in my heart to heart that I'm not that crazy when I tell you that now's the time it has to be I have to wake up every fucking day and do this oh I love talking about the pain guys it is real because I don't want anyone else controlling the time that I got can I mean think about it think about it one year where were you last year I'm passionate about maximizing your time on this fucking earth that's all I care about that's it I got these two fucking measuring sticks I got these two walking talking fucking conscious whatever the fuck they are

little dodges run it walk and run and cry and they're talking to me they're talking to me they're telling me shit man it is it's too fast there is a billion things there is a billion things that you could do in this life think about that for a second there's a billion things billion more so why not why not choose one of those multi-billion different things to do in life and try and you start small start small but set a goal to do it man I've met so many people through uh through this endeavor people like you guys it's been awesome it's been life-changing and I appreciate every single moment but time's going by way too damn fast time is flying by way too fast I see it every day I count the gray hairs I want to build I can't go fast enough guys

the world is not enough for me and I don't think the world is enough for you if you're like me which is what my grand hypothesis is through this sixth week experiment if you are like me then I assume that there might be something different that you need to do and now is the time guys now's the time I'm out bye
