Do not set goals—set systems.
What I need from you?
Saving $10,000 is a goal.

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Losing 20kg is a goal.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
“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.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.

Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Ask yourself:
Does not procrastinate.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
In bed, not in music, which is better, a drummer or a bass player?
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.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
If sea levels were rising, wouldn't the acreage of coastal salt marshes increase? Are they?
Living to your full potential is a goal.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.

Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Procrastinates a lot.
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.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Making more friends is a goal.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Hangs out with loser friends.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
That's it for today.

Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
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.
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.

How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Cutting off WiFi at home for a month or giving your phone to a distant friend for a month (in exchange for a Nokia or simply nothing) is a system.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
