This video is a wake-up call. You see, every single day you've woken up with the exact same opportunity to create an amazing life full of joyous experiences and everything you've ever wanted in your life. And this is a wake-up call that today you must stop acting unconsciously, give up those vices, and go ahead and rightfully just inherit that wonderful life that you would not even believe possible. Okay, this, we live in America, land of the free, home of the brave, land of infinite and endless opportunity, and you would be wasting it if you didn't capitalize on it this morning. So, watching this video is going to push you into that mindset. Alright, buckle up, baby, let's go! I run my life kind of how Gordon Ramsay runs his kitchen. Okay, everything to achieve utmost perfection. I'll spit it out if it is not cooked right. And that's not even how I run my life, that's just, that's literally what I'll do if my girlfriend makes me food. I run my life kind of how Napoleon Bonaparte runs his armies. My plans are not strict and rigid, just like his soldiers weren't. His soldiers were autonomous and the battle plans were malleable. The soldiers had a bit of, a level of independency that made them dangerous because they could make their own decisions on the fly and take advantage of opportunities that a strict battle plan sent in from the hierarchy ranks from above with just only a bird's eye view of a vague understanding of what's going on on the battlefield wouldn't be able to take advantage of. Therefore, just like Napoleon's soldiers were graceful and fought like demons with a certain level of freedom to make decisions on their own, so is my lifestyle, okay? Structured, orderly, yet a little bit of chaos which allows me to take full advantage of opportunities and to seize the day. Alright, hey, what's up guys? I'm the ROI guy. I basically live my life by three letters. If it's not making me a huge return on my investment, then I'm not investing in it. I mean, that's just simple math for you. So, follow me around today and take a look at some of these extremely high ROI activities and copy and paste them for yourself. I think that would be the quickest way to transforming your life in only a matter of months. The ROI in this video, for me, is kind of low, to be honest, but it's not for me. It's for everybody watching that can benefit from the insights of someone who's really just gone balls to the walls, sacrificed everything for his goals, and he's undergone that psychological transformation that other people aren't willing to undergo. And I want to show you what it's like. Along the way, you'll hear stories from some of the most epic historical figures. I mean, these are stories you can tell your girlfriend, your family, your friends, that are not those boring stories on TikTok that you hear all the time. I love telling epic stories, so you'll hear that. You'll also see ways to stay jacked, shredded, and diced all year round, because that's kind of my specialty. And finally, I'll just talk about how to structure your life to win, and how to start a business, how to balance fitness with business, with school, with work, because I do all those things. So, let's go. First things. All right. Hey, guys. Just felt like I needed to add this in. Don't watch this video if you're not going to put in the work. Why? Because this isn't entertainment. Watching people walk around their rooms and talk apparently is creepy. I mean, why else would people get mad at me for peeping through their windows? So, watch what I do and implement the things that resonate with you. And if I'm feeling there's going to be a lot of things that are going to be eye-opening, that you'll say, hey, I should have started doing that, and my life would increase tenfold in quality, and I'll get riches, and I'll have a girlfriend. Okay, so, let's get into it. Hey, what's up, guys? It's 6.15 a.m., and I like getting up early because I like to mock the sun and let it know I'm alpha, and also to get a head start on everybody else who isn't willing to get up that early. So, getting up early is going to be one of the most, the highest ROI things that you can do. It sets you apart from everybody else. Right off the bat, it gives you time to yourself to focus on the things that matter most to you. We can get lost in what other people want for our lives, and get too busy, and lose track of what really matters. But during these morning hours, I focus on what matters for me long-term, and who I want to be long-term. Okay, so, my little alliteration for my morning is wake, water, walk. And what that means is I wake up, then I throw water on my face, drink water, and take a cold shower, so that's the water portion, and then walk. And occasionally, I'll add in write, where I basically just make myself ecstatic and excited about all the goals for my future by writing about them. So that's that little alliteration structure for you to remember there if you want to implement it. But before I start with my cold shower, which is next, I want to tell you guys a little story. You know I'm the story guy, I'm also the ROI guy, but I'm also the story guy, so... And this isn't going to be one of your run-of-the-mill, you know, ADHD-style TikTok short. That's 10 reasons that you shouldn't walk in the forest, okay? Because obviously there's only one reason. The little people in the forest, they can freeze you in time for 30 years and you come back 45 years old and you walked in at 15. Okay, that's the only reason why. But it's not that. And it's also not a list or anything. These are real historical facts. I mean, just ancient, timeless wisdom that you should be filling your head with this information because it's going to... You're going to have the most epic stories. So just listen up, guys. But to him, no matter how rousing the speech was, it was too passive for them to experience and to have an enduring effect. So instead, he talked of something called Death Ground. Now, this was a place where an army is backed up to with no way out. There's a geographical feature like a mountain or river or a forest that they would have no way to escape. And without a way to retreat, Sun Tzu said, an army fights with double or triple the spirit. So he advocated for deliberately stationing soldiers on Death Ground to give them that edge to fight like the devil, okay? When this happens, something changes because the world is ruled by necessity. If it's not necessary for your life, you won't do it. That's just the way it is. And people start to change their behavior only if they have to and only if they feel their lives are dependent on it. So here's what the book says. We were opposed to the idea, and yet it has ended in victory. What sort of strategy is this? And use them to fight with. Under such circumstances, if I had not placed them in a desperate situation where each man was obliged to fight for his own life, but it allowed them to remain in a safe place, they would have all run away. Then what good would they have been to me? Indeed, his generals exclaimed in admiration, we would never have thought of that. From records of the historian Zuma Chen, 145-86 BC. And that's what I'll be teaching.
