Q4 CDC Day 42

5:00p - 7:15p

5-515 - meditation
515-530 - setup

05:30 - 06:00: Obj.Int.Setup (10.5/6)
06:00 - 07:00: Obj.2.1a (18.5/5)

SETUP EXTENDED -- To forever settle what "IT" is that you must "GET"

From now on, thou shalt live by the following realization.

If thou deviates, thou shalt review the following:

19 Objectives. 12 weeks, 10 Sundays, 150 hours

Can I pull it off?

How will you complete them on time?

If this were a school project and it was DUE by 12/21/2016, how would you make sure it gets completed?

Let's get in the mentality of making an EPIC Q4.

NO MORE EXCUSES -- if any task is worthy of more time, and that'll set you behind, then get a "good enough" draft version done and list the additional stuff / final draft that you want to do as a new objective to be completed at a future date.

Q4 is going to be about completing EVERY item on the list.  Even if they all look like SHIT and only work on certain PCs and need more work... get them DONE.

Any set backs, additional objectives, obstacles, etc. go on the list for getting done AFTER these 19 core objectives.

This will keep me pushing for a large size instead of using new obstacles as an excuse to fall behind.  As long as I can allow that to happen I'll NEVER be successful as an entrepreneur or get to the size I need to be at to succeed as a business owner.

By making it my goal to get a "first pass" version of every item done within a time period, I'll have a much better idea about how to set my goals for the final draft versions, since I'll have dabbled enough in everything to get a good sense of the scale of how much work lies ahead.

Happiness and Degrees of Freedom

Happiness has many ingredients.  Here are some of the biggest:

Degrees of Freedom:

1. Time

2. Money

3. Women

TIME is tied to both money and women.

Do you need to trade your time for money?  Even if it's on autopilot, SOME time will always be required.  The goal is to make that trade as stacked as possible.

How much time does your woman/women require, and how much do you want to give her?  The goal is for the time you want to give her/them as close to her/their required amount as possible -- if they need too much, it's best to let them go... if they require far less than you want to give, you need more women or a different partner.

MONEY gives you the ability to do what you want.  "What you want" should be things that add to your happiness.  The goal should be to have the money to do the things that actually add to your happiness, and the balance is between money -> happiness and time -> money.

WOMEN are a huge contribution to happiness.  The goal should be to have at least one that you are incredibly close to that has your back no matter what... and the other goal should be to be with as many women as necessary to have all your needs met.  The goal is to have an open relationship and meet all of your needs.

Being honest with women about this will be rewarded with the freedom to have as many women as you need balanced with the time you are willing to invest into them.

---

Just as my 18 year point I realized my goal in life was automatic income (the gold standard of freedom with time and money), at 28 I want to pledge to master attraction and open relationships, so I have all the freedom to give whatever time I want to whichever women I want.

Don't get me wrong.  Some women require more of my time.  And if they mean enough to me, they will get it.  My goal is to find the balance that will make me the happiest instead of getting locked into the standard marriage model that 90-95% of men participate in... even though none of them are entirely happy with it.

The Future of Goals - TRUE Path & Direction

One of the biggest areas I lack development in is goals.  This is REQUIRED.  It's entrepreneur 101 training that I overlooked, failed to understand, etc.

I have spent much more time and energy talking about the problems I have with goals.  That's not the point of this post.

The point of this post is the future of goals:

80% Integrity goal -- WHY.  What does this achieve?

Right now it's STATIC... once I achieve it, nothing happens.  I hit 80% forever and I'm more likely to succeed long term.  Okay... that's not very powerful.

It should have LEVELS and PURPOSE.  A true path and direction.

For instance:

My goal for Q3 is 80% integrity, at which point I will be ready for a 20 hours per week on ROARS goal to be ADDED ON in Q4.  Then I will be consistent AND putting in the time necessary to hit major success in 2017.

My goal for Q4 is 80% integrity PLUS 20 hours per week on ROARS... at which point I will be ready for a size 5 goal during ROARS hours.  Then I will be consistent, putting in the time needed, and working at the productivity level needed for success... and thereby heading towards my goals nearly as fast as possible.

That's a true path, and a true CHALLENGE.  It'll force me to rise to the occasion and drive and motivate me.

What other goals can I develop this way?

It's worth taking a couple of hours to think about and work on.  It's a required, huge piece of the puzzle missing, and trying to put the puzzle together without it will make for a very incomplete picture.

Thank you Mr. Schwarzenegger.

The War Begins...

Today marks the first Sunday in which I am following an organized schedule.

This is THE CORE NATURE of how discipline and consistency works.

Even if you try to disprove it and show a massive size person just "winging it", you'll notice that he's actually following an unscripted, unofficial, yet very disciplined and consistent schedule.

Like dumping energy into separating gluons and muons and they just form a new pair, or the more energy you dump into acceleration the more mass you gain as you approach the speed of light... the more "large size" behavior you dump into a being, the more organized, consistent, and disciplined they become.

So now that you are following the fundamental law of nature for how to be an entrepreneur -- like Brendan's realtor friend, he MUST follow a set schedule -- the war has officially began.

The ROARS vs. LEAF war of the entrepreneur.

I play both sides.  I win either way.  But there's a big win I'm after here.

Here's the battles:
-Who gets more of my time?
-Who gets more of my willpower and energy?
-Who progresses faster?
-ETC

Over time, as ROARS starts making money and proving itself, it'll make more and more progress down the battle field.  The war only ends when one side has been completely eliminated by the other.

Q2 PTC Day 57

MONDAY = SUNDAY (Since it's Memorial Day Weekend)

12p - 9p.  I know, ran too late... but i took my vit a at 9am and I have been getting to sleep later and waking up earlier, so like, whatever.

ROARS Work:

THE VIDEO NEVER REALLY WORKED THAT GREAT.

Think about it.

The test was done to people who were already sold and it was done in an EMAIL format.

They probably skipped RIGHT OVER all the stuff they'd already seen on my website and went right to the juicy stuff.

Leading with the salesy stuff, especially in a video where its hard to skip to the meat, just leads to the thinking, "There's no steak here, just another sleep sales thingy."

Instead, deliever a sneak peak at the secret first.  Give them the steak.  Then, once they've had a bite and are thinking about more, sell them on how amazing the steak is.

And the beauty of that is they can go ahead and opt-in any time they are ready to eat the steak.  That's how it should be designed.

So, here's how the video is being re-structured on website (see it on google doc):

1. The beginning will be like the UNDER 3 MIN version they can find on youtube.
2. To learn more, get my free guide by giving your email.
3. THEN SALES #1 HERE MOVED FROM BEFORE: If your tired of x, sick of y, z... then you NEED to hear about this breakthrough.
4. It is my most valuable piece of work, it explains how to cure insomnia and includes 3 q's dr's cant ans...
5. Even I didn't get it.  Even sleep experts dont get it.  Then I had an EPIPHANY.  And now its a works every time method.
6. You're preventing your own sleep.  That's why nothing working for you.
7. THEN SALES #2 HERE MOVED HERE: It's always been the same old thing... of course you do want... but you've tried so much, you dunno who or what to believe anymore.
8. Fortunately, this "Dark Age" @ end.  There's been a new breakthrough in the insomnia world. --> to END OF VIDEO.

Pricing Thoughts

For the How to Cure Insomnia Video Series, I am thinking anywhere from $47 - $65 -- and saying this is discounted from $79.95 - 89.95.  I have testing to know it sells well in this range and the market is in this range.  70+ seems like too much -- ppl on the fence aren't going to pay it, if they do they'll want a refund once they see how short the content is.  under 39.95 i believe would devalue it to the point where a lot of people think this can't actually be any different than everything else, and i imagine just about anyone who would pay 20-40 for this will find a way to pay 40-60 for it.

Anyways, at the end of the day, it'll require price point testing.  $80-140 might be the hot spot for all I know, or it might end up getting 2% sales at 60 but 12% sales at 30.   I will need to test all these points for that reason, but to do that, I will need a lot of traffic.  So worry more about it then.

Mentality Work: ACTUALLY Doing It is all you are missing!

Your tools on the daily review, page 2 are FAR MORE THAN WHAT I NEED TO BE A 5.

SO LONG AS...

YOU ARE UNREASONABLE ABOUT CONSISTENTLY USING ALL OF THOSE TOOLS!!!!

If you actually FULLY EMBRACED AND UPHELD the goal of "Mental Mastery", you'd be a 5+.

If you actually FULLY EMBRACED AND UPHELD the goal of "Keep on top of the pulse of intensity" you'd be a 5+.

If you actually FULLY EMBRACED AND UPHELD the goal of "Kicking trolls whenever they arise", you'd be a 5+.

etc.

These tools are more than good enough.  You don't need any more info, you're not missing any secrets.  It comes down to your willingness to consistently uphold these tools throughout the day.  To treat all predetermined choices as your word, where you are unreasonable about following them, and to actually just do it consistently all day.  So that you are unreasonable about doing everything with the intensity game / mindfulness game because that's how you do anything.

Like actually having enough mental mastery to keep observing your mind several times an hour so you could keep in control of what kind of thoughts are occurring.

Like actually being on top of your sense of intensity to stay in the 1-up game 50 minutes at a time every hour.

Like actually having 90%+ positive thoughts because of how frequently you are catching and how effectively you replace them with more helpful thoughts, causing you to keep laughing at how much better the replacements are than the originals.

In the morning, you should ask "Am I serious enough, focused enough, and motivated enough to be a 5 today?"

If the answer is no, focus on turning a 3-3.5 day into a 4-4.5 day and talk about bringing the lower end of the average up so that my overall average is good.

If the answer is yes, focus on FULLY EMBRACING AND UPHOLDING those tools so that it's not "what you can pull off" but instead it's "Holding onto as much as you can, letting as little slip away as possible."  Because there's no reason you can't do all those things.  So you either have the willingness to do them or not.  Don't be reasonable.

You're either going for a 5, or your not.  Make a choice, don't just try to see what you can pull off.

The Renaissance

What is the Renaissance?

It's not the renaissance of the old me, it's the renaissance of my spirit & purpose.

Was the renaissance of the 1400's - 1700's a rebirth of the Greek or Roman empires?

No, it was the rebirth of humanism, derived from the rediscovery of classical Greek philosophy, which manifested in art, architecture, politics, science and literature.

Thus, my renaissance isn't the rebirth of the failed Entrepreneur of the 2000's.  This blog is not called "The Return of the Addict".

The greeks brought to life the philosophy of the human spirit, what we were, and how the universe works.  Then, with the fall of the classical ages, came the dark ages, where reality was people looking out for themselves and kings caring more about their kingdoms than the human spirit.

My reality changed in 2011 & 2012 when my Mastery product failed to launch and I experienced the fall of my sponsorship.  The financial freedom I was riding on ran out, my Maslow's hierarchy became unstable, and my "classical ages" of learning and embracing entrepreneurship and business ownership in place of college and career fell permanently, never to rise again.

That person, that time, the days of my early twenties education are over and gone forever, like the ancient Greeks or the ancient Roman Empire.  Then came my dark ages, where I had to look out myself and just get by, I cared more about my survival and independence.  Just think of how much Firefly resonated with me.

However -- like the renaissance reborn the ideas of the ancients -- so too will this renaissance reborn the ideas of the original entrepreneur period.  Sleep Mastery shall return to life, How to Cure Insomnia will be born, articles, forum posts, and youtube videos will start circling again, sales letters and email lists will return.

This is the rebirth of branding & traffic, copy writing & conversion, emailing & a back-end list of leads.

With that, it is the rebirth of my greatest project in life.  My baby that I take care of, feed, strengthen, and make grow.  My purpose -- the reason I get up in the morning & the thing that captures my imagination and spirit at night.

Those long hours pacing back and forth, fantasizing about what I would do with seemingly limitless money and freedom -- THAT spirit -- THAT is what is being is reborn.  That is my personal renaissance.
