cost 250 what's up guys it's andy priscilla and this is the show for the realists say goodbye to
00:00:17.760
the lies the fakeness and delusions of modern society and welcome to motherfucking reality
00:00:23.400
guys a few weeks ago i gave you a podcast that seemed to resonate especially well with most of
00:00:31.980
you it was called 1000 days today i'm going to give you another podcast that i believe will resonate
00:00:39.980
especially well with you okay and this is maybe a sequel to the 1000 days i'm not sure what we're
00:00:49.680
going to call it yet usually sequels are terrible i plan on this not being terrible so um guys
00:00:56.740
here's the deal all right like i said in the 1000 days podcast we have people especially right now
00:01:06.100
in society pointing fingers looking around blaming every single person except themselves
00:01:15.380
for what problem they happen to have going on in their lives the accountability in humanity
00:01:22.460
and in society is what i believe to be at an all-time low okay people like to bitch they like to cry they
00:01:32.140
like to scream they like to scream at the top of their lungs to anybody who will listen about all their
00:01:39.620
problems and whose fucking fault they are but the truth of the matter is and you know what's coming
00:01:46.560
is it's your fault all right and here's the proof let's look back at your 1000 days the past 1000 days
00:01:56.160
and what do we do we didn't execute on all those days we didn't do what we needed to do we didn't get up
00:02:04.760
when we didn't feel like getting up we didn't go to the gym we didn't feel like going to the gym we
00:02:11.020
didn't eat the foods we know we needed to eat and skip the things that we didn't need to eat
00:02:18.140
why are you surprised why is the world surprised that we aren't where we want to be
00:02:27.040
and i think the answer is because we don't know how okay that's what i want to talk about today i want
00:02:38.500
to talk about how so we don't repeat the last 1000 days over this next 1000 days right now we live in
00:02:47.320
this world of chaos all right lots of stress lots of anxiety lots of pain lots of confusion lots of
00:02:57.360
negativity consistently fed into our brains every single day and while everybody else is in a panic
00:03:06.660
this is an opportunity for you to get everything together so that these next 1000 days get you to where
00:03:14.320
you want to go and if it doesn't get you all the way there it definitely gets you on the right track
00:03:19.060
okay so what i want to do today is i want to break down three key parts to making your next 1000 days
00:03:28.080
look the exact opposite as your last 1000 days okay so it's very simple it's three steps and you're going
00:03:37.380
to want to write these down the first step is this you've got to make a decision almost everybody in
00:03:46.900
the world overlooks this step okay but it's important where is it that you want to be what do you want
00:03:55.980
your life to look like what do you want your body to look like what do you want your significant other
00:04:01.800
to be like what do you want your income to look like what about your career what kind of car do you
00:04:08.740
want to drive where do you want to go on vacation and with who what kind of clothes do you want to wear
00:04:15.580
what kind of fucking haircut is going to look cool on you all these things matter you might be giggling
00:04:23.560
right now but they matter because the reason most people never get where they want to go and never
00:04:29.460
commit to doing what it is they need to do is because they don't take the time to make an accurate
00:04:35.580
and firm decision on where they want to be they never plan and the first step to getting where you
00:04:43.860
want to go is guess what you got to make a fucking plan and it sounds cheesy it sounds motivational guru
00:04:51.120
you know cheese sandwich but the truth is how the fuck are we supposed to get where we want to go
00:04:56.860
if we don't know where we're going you don't just get in your car with no directions no map
00:05:02.660
no idea and hope to end up where it is you want to go that's not how life works we all know this
00:05:08.780
but that's how most people treat life they show up they move around they talk about how busy they are
00:05:15.920
with no plan and then they're surprised at the result guys you know this doesn't make sense i know you
00:05:25.700
could feel this right now you're shaking your head you're saying yeah it fucking makes sense
00:05:29.440
all right when people don't know what to do guess what they do nothing then they're mad that they end
00:05:39.480
up in a place they didn't intend to go it's all very logical there's no magic to this connect the
00:05:44.440
dots one to the two to three to the four okay and you don't need to spend the next year figuring this
00:05:51.500
out and go on some fucking bullshit vision quest to figure it out pick a day dedicate one day sit down
00:06:01.260
write down your goals in detail okay think about where it is you want to be ask yourself the questions
00:06:08.800
i just asked you get to a point where you can see this vision very clearly in your brain about where
00:06:16.100
you're going that's the first step nobody does it okay we just built this crazy headquarters you guys
00:06:22.960
have seen it if you're following me on instagram it didn't just come out of the fucking sky we didn't
00:06:27.780
draw it on a napkin that may have been how it started but it took planning it took a concrete plan
00:06:35.700
and it took a year of work to actually have it come together you know people walk in and they look at
00:06:42.460
and say holy shit man this is crazy well it's not crazy to me i've already seen it i saw it in my head
00:06:48.760
i planned it years ago in my mind i took notes okay this isn't a fucking accident and nothing in your
00:06:54.920
life is either if you start to make an actual plan there will be no surprises about where you're going
00:07:03.460
and guess what you won't be shocked when you end up there either because you will have seen this in
00:07:10.280
your brain years ahead of everybody else seeing it okay there is no magic to this there's no
00:07:18.040
luck to this this is inputs and outputs it's math it's cause and effect it's one plus one equals
00:07:26.040
motherfucking two what you do will produce a result so do the things that are going to produce the result
00:07:35.780
that you want okay but to get to the point of having the result that you want you have to know
00:07:42.300
what that result is and that's the first step all right make a motherfucking plan step two we got to
00:07:52.160
execute on that plan now everybody thinks this is the hardest step it's not the first step is and
00:07:57.440
you've already done that a win plus a win plus a few more wins is a fucking winning streak guys
00:08:02.920
okay episode 16 in this feed it's called the power list how to win life on a daily basis it's about
00:08:11.320
taking your goals breaking them down into actual actionable steps that will contribute to your
00:08:18.340
wins on a big scale and guess what you're not going to be perfect every single day but that is your
00:08:24.860
goal your goal your goal is to keep the streak going okay and even if you get an l every once
00:08:31.480
in a while guess what the streak is now it's zero and you start again and you go from one to two to
00:08:38.400
three to four and beyond okay this is a game this is a test this is a test of your mental fortitude to be
00:08:46.740
able to execute consistently when you give up you become like everybody else instantly okay but the
00:08:54.460
powerful thing about this thing that we call the power list here which you need to go back and
00:08:58.440
listen to is that if you keep track of this you can go back and see physically why it is that things
00:09:05.840
aren't materializing at the rate you expect them to you know let me give you a little hint on that too
00:09:11.180
nothing ever ever ever ever is going to go as fast as you want it's always going to take more time
00:09:17.580
and it's always going to take a lot more work okay but when you can go back and look at your actual
00:09:25.640
percentage of days you won versus days you lost it gives you an idea of why it is things are where
00:09:33.420
they are it also gives you perspective to make changes if you need to i'm going to get to that in
00:09:38.620
a minute all right but how many days out of a thousand do you need to win to get where it is that you
00:09:45.100
decided you want to go most of them guys most of them but here's the thing once you figure out
00:09:53.760
where you're going and once you figure out how to create these streaks by using the powerless tool
00:09:59.700
you're still going to go through times where you don't feel like you're making progress you're going to
00:10:05.000
go through times where things aren't moving at the rate you want them to move times where you don't
00:10:11.760
want to do anything times where you feel stuck times where you forget what it is and why it is
00:10:18.000
that you're doing this that's the point of a powerless it's going to show you day by day by day
00:10:26.180
where you went off track and show you the actual statistics of wins versus losses allowing you to make
00:10:34.920
better decisions and if you don't make better decisions you're going to know whose fucking
00:10:40.480
fault it is that you aren't where you want to be okay you're going to look back and you're going to
00:10:45.100
say okay over the last 100 days i i missed the mark on 10 that's 10 of my days 10 away from where i
00:10:51.920
should be you're going to understand in very specific data how much you do the right way and how much you do
00:11:00.300
the wrong way okay but you have to understand during this time of execution when you're going
00:11:07.440
through these tough times when you're going through these times where you don't feel like you're making
00:11:12.320
progress or you don't feel like you're moving at the rate that you want it to go okay which is going
00:11:18.500
to be a lot you're gonna have to go back to the plan what's the plan what's the vision in your head
00:11:26.040
are you visualizing it in your head or did you just write it down because i'm going to tell you
00:11:30.120
right now i visualize where i'm going to be in a thousand days every single day okay i make it part
00:11:36.460
of my routine if you follow me for a long time you know i do this right before i go to bed i take 10
00:11:41.480
15 minutes to visualize what my life is going to look like at the end of that 1 000 days and i would
00:11:49.980
suggest that you do the same okay because what this is going to do is it's going to help drive home
00:11:55.120
the idea of what it is you're trying to get to and remind you of why it is you're trying to get
00:12:04.660
there okay so take time to reflect and adjust every single day because where you decide you want to be
00:12:14.400
and where you actually are going to end up is going to evolve over time which brings me to the third
00:12:22.080
step reflect and adjust now i struggle with this step especially the reflection part okay when we
00:12:30.160
get stuck when we get mad and constantly say man it's not happening why isn't why isn't this working
00:12:35.040
why am i doing all this fucking work and i'm not where i need to be we have to go back and look at
00:12:41.400
what we actually did so that we can say well i've done everything i was supposed to over the last 100
00:12:46.500
days this is just taking a little longer than what i anticipated and that's okay because you may
00:12:51.480
not be at the end but once you reflect you may realize that you're way further along the path than
00:12:57.040
you thought you were and that's a good feeling okay you're not at the end but you're on the way there
00:13:02.040
you're on the right path this is a good place to be and having this reassurance that you're on that
00:13:07.180
right path is very comforting it's motivating it helps us stay to the plan okay and most people
00:13:15.260
regardless of what you see online when they get alone they have trouble giving themselves credit
00:13:21.540
for things i do especially okay most of us get too caught up in celebrating what we did temporarily
00:13:27.360
and it takes us off track for where we need to go in the long run we have to stay mentally focused
00:13:33.520
on that goal and not let these little mini celebrations get in the way and push us off track
00:13:38.780
we have to stay mentally focused on the end goal okay we have to see the mental picture of where it is
00:13:45.140
we are and then compare it to where it is we're going every single day and we have to look at that
00:13:50.180
in detail all the time for me that little mental picture that i play in my head every single night
00:13:56.200
before i go to bed guess what that's been pretty spot on okay everything that is my life that you see
00:14:03.900
i created in my head years ago and it wasn't by accident it wasn't luck i didn't get here by you know
00:14:11.860
good fortune it's because i take everything seriously okay and we have to take what we do
00:14:19.380
every single day seriously why wouldn't you why would you not take your day on a regular basis and
00:14:27.960
analyze it to see if it was a closer or further away from where it is you want to go all right so
00:14:33.400
reflection that's the first part but what's the second part that's adjustment okay that's the part that's
00:14:40.500
tough for most people you have to be able to understand are you getting closer or further
00:14:46.400
away from that mental vision that you play in your head are you moving towards the goal the way you
00:14:51.940
thought you would or is your plan not working and you have to be able to logically and accurately
00:14:59.900
delineate between a faulty plan or is it you not being able to stick to the plan or not giving it
00:15:07.360
enough time to materialize all right i like to talk about this in terms of baking a cake let's just
00:15:16.100
assume that you have the best cake recipe in the world let's just say you got it from martha stewart
00:15:22.420
and she gives you all the exact ingredients to make the best award-winning cake recipe that she has
00:15:30.320
access to and you not knowing shit about baking cakes you go buy the exact ingredients and you mix
00:15:38.720
them up in the bowl and you pour them in the pan and it calls for 400 degrees at 40 minutes but you
00:15:46.440
because you're smart even though you don't know shit about baking a cake you say well i want the cake in
00:15:54.080
20 minutes instead of 40 minutes so instead you turn the heat up to 800 degrees what happens in 20 minutes
00:16:04.240
you've got a burnt cake it comes out burnt like a crisp this is what people have trouble understanding
00:16:13.300
and the point i'm trying to make to you is this time is a part of the equation you can't outspend it
00:16:20.660
you cannot work it you can't eliminate it you have to work with it it's part of the process
00:16:26.820
a thousand days is not that long it's going to go by much faster than you think and you have to
00:16:32.120
understand that that time is passing no matter what so do you want the time to be working for you
00:16:40.540
or do you want the time to be working against you because that's what we're really talking about here
00:16:46.040
we're talking about how to make time work for us okay this is why you have to let the plan pull you
00:16:55.880
through the hard times all right if you execute just on the days you feel like it you're gonna have
00:17:01.960
about a 10 win rate that's the truth most of the days that i win i don't fucking feel like it i'm tired
00:17:09.420
i'd rather be doing other things i'm stressed i have a million things going on in my brain
00:17:16.040
but guess what my plan still gets executed against and so what happens when you go through let's say
00:17:24.500
a hard time like most people are going through right now where life is in a state of chaos
00:17:31.640
a lot of people are highly anxious they're frustrated they're angry okay and let's just think about how
00:17:40.000
many of those people are actually executing in spite of how they actually feel i would say not very many
00:17:46.980
okay but what if you learn how to harness the power of this plan that you made in step one
00:17:55.620
and execute on this plan that you made in step two
00:17:59.520
and then learn how to execute it on the days you don't feel like doing it what's going to happen to you
00:18:07.640
you may go through times of frustration you may go through times of pain you may go through times
00:18:14.420
where you don't feel like doing shit but guess what happens when you keep executing
00:18:18.880
you finally pull out of those ruts and you look up and you look around and guess what
00:18:24.100
you're in a better place than you were even though you still felt like shit like everybody else
00:18:30.600
okay this is the power of discipline this is the power of a plan this is the power of eliminating
00:18:37.240
emotions when it comes to execution every single day day in and day out no matter what no matter if
00:18:44.620
we feel like shit or we feel like a trillion dollars that's the beautiful thing about discipline
00:18:52.280
it doesn't matter how you feel you might be able to go two months three months maybe even six months
00:19:00.160
of a shitty time like right now okay where no one wants to do anything but if you've been disciplined
00:19:05.520
you're going to look back when the sky is clear and say holy fuck dude that's some of the best time of my
00:19:09.180
life this is real power you have to understand these three steps that you need to do if you want
00:19:16.840
to gain a leg up on what everybody else is going on if you don't want your life to be dictated by
00:19:23.640
the world by the chaos by the emotions by the ups and downs you have to understand these three steps
00:19:31.900
plan like i said most of you never plan properly most of you have never taken that time most of you
00:19:38.660
are okay taking what the world gives you and if that's you you're going to keep getting what you've
00:19:44.960
been getting that's just the way it works so you have to stop and say this is where i'm going to go
00:19:51.760
over the next 1000 days step two execute a lot of people are afraid of this but it's not that hard
00:19:58.540
we have to break it down into bite-sized days every single day you win is a step closer every single day
00:20:04.820
you lose is a step further so when you can get through this winning 95 of your days you're going to be
00:20:11.400
pretty fucking close at least on the right path to where you want to go okay reflection giving yourself
00:20:18.420
credit for the progress you're making assessing are you actually executing or am i executing on the
00:20:26.260
wrong plan and then making the adjustments when the plan isn't the right one i've been in business
00:20:32.140
for 22 years guys you know how many bad fucking plans i made a fuck ton a ton of bad plans but you
00:20:39.080
know what happened whenever i realized the plans were bad i adjusted them i made adjustments i changed
00:20:44.920
things that we were doing as soon as i recognized that it wasn't going to lead to the end result
00:20:50.120
i made adjustments now i was careful and i'm always careful to try and establish the truth am i just
00:20:59.600
frustrated am i just having a bad day is this just extremely hard or are we actually making bad moves
00:21:08.360
am i making bad moves that's getting us off track guess what sometimes you're just going to be
00:21:15.440
frustrated you're going to say fuck dude i'm being impatient and that's normal i actually think that's
00:21:20.480
a great thing it's great thing to be impatient because it keeps you intense it keeps you focused
00:21:24.640
it keeps you on your game because you want to win and it says that you fucking care and that's always a
00:21:31.820
great thing but it can be destructive when we can't recognize it and sometimes you're going to look
00:21:37.920
and say yeah you know we've been working really hard but i think i've been doing the wrong thing
00:21:43.480
i've been eating a few too many calories i don't think i've been training long enough i think i've
00:21:47.620
been doing this or that and it could be a million different things but we have to understand the
00:21:51.600
difference between being frustrated and a legitimate adjustment that needs to be made to our plan and
00:21:57.020
that's what that's what we have to understand so in closing guys i want you to understand this
00:22:02.760
this time our life the time that we're here on this planet it's going to go by regardless
00:22:08.280
this time is just like all the previous 1000 day stints you've had in your whole life which
00:22:14.120
you've probably had a few if you're listening to this podcast you know there's not too many
00:22:17.880
eight-year-old kids listen to this all right you've had a number of 1000 day stints in your life so
00:22:23.300
you have to understand that that time is going to go no matter what it's not necessarily about
00:22:28.700
how the time is going to treat us it's more about how we are going to treat that time a lot of people
00:22:36.780
have a victim mentality when it comes to time time doesn't treat you good or bad you could say it does
00:22:42.480
but it doesn't time just passes it's what you put into the time that actually shapes your life
00:22:48.440
you put good shit into the time you're going to get good shit back you put bad shit into the time
00:22:53.980
guess what you're going to get bad shit back that's the fact of the matter so a thousand days from now
00:23:00.480
you can do one of two things you could say you know what i did exactly what i set out to do over
00:23:06.400
the last 1000 days my life's a million fucking percent better i made more progress than i ever wanted
00:23:11.980
to make or you could be the guy who's like you know what i really fucked off that last 1000 days
00:23:19.420
i didn't do my work i didn't do what i needed to do i didn't execute and those are the only true things
