If this shows up for you, YOU WILL BE RICH...

You will be successful.

It’s not a bet, it’s not an uncertainty, it’s a fact.

Look around at the average person your age and what they get up to:

• partying

• video games

• binging netflix

• jacking off to porn

Now what do you do with your spare time?

You’ve been working out, improving your mental health, eating right, sleeping right, educating yourself.

I mean, how many of your “friends” or classmates are reading an email newsletter article right now?

Most of them probably haven’t read anything in their spare time since “The Hungry Caterpillar” in Year 2! (If you know what that is, you’re a real one).

There’s simply no way you don’t succeed, at least to some degree.

Sure, right now, you might feel like you don’t have the skills or knowledge to get to where you want to - and that’s okay. You don’t need to yet.

But what you do need is the strong belief that, with enough focussed effort and self-education, you could become world class at any skill. Anything.

If I really wanted to, I genuinely believe that tomorrow, I could start learning coding, and in a few years I would be in the Top 5% of coders.

This is called self-efficacy.

If you don’t have this belief - why not?

Why can’t you learn computer programming? Why can’t you learn marketing and sales? Why can’t you learn social media growth? Why not?

What is stopping you?

Is it your pre-programmed belief that you need a 4-year degree and waste $40,000 to acquire these skills?

Broski - you can learn any skill on the Internet, and become better at it than a University graduate in like 1-2 years of focussed effort. And that’s a safe guess.

Millions have already done it.

The reason you don’t have this self-efficacy is because you can’t even picture yourself having success. Your mind is full of limiting beliefs (like the one I mentioned above) that are holding you back from your true potential.

You need a vision. You need a plan.

This is the key to unshakeable confidence in yourself. This is how I can write these outrageous things, talking about how:

• I will be successful

• I will retire my parents

• I will hit 1k subs before December

I’m not just guessing. I’m not hoping. I’m not saying these outlandish things to get more views. I have a plan.

And now, all I have to do to achieve these things is follow the plan.

It’s when, not if. It’s only a matter of time.

Setting The Destination

I’ll make this very simple.

1. Craft Your Vision

2. Prioritise Your Purpose

3. Plot Your Path

4. Create Your System

This framework is taken from my upcoming course called The Road To Freedom. 

There, I go into much more detail, and there will even be a live call where I show you exactly how to apply this. (Plus we go into a bunch of extra stuff, such as reprogramming your mindset, creating habits, and much more...)

You guys who receive the Self-Mastery Letters (that’s you, reading right now) are the first people to even hear about this.

I haven’t told my Discord server, I haven’t even told my family or friends!

It comes out on the 31st October, so go sign up now so that you can be one of the first people on the planet to receive it - and get exclusive access to the live call I mentioned. (P.S. It’s 100% FREE!)

Obviously the live call has limited spaces, as I want to make it a close-knit, high value, personalised event - so make sure you get there quick to reserve your place!

Anyway, let’s get back to this letter.

Craft Your Vision

What are you going to do with your life? If you don’t know, it’s time to find out.

People say “set SMART goals, be realistic” - fuck that.

You need to set huge, crazy ambitious goals.

Goals that make you excited, that make you scared just thinking about them.

This is what will keep you motivated when the going gets tough, when you don’t want to get out of bed in the morning. Think about it - if you’re laying in bed, with the goal of making a couple extra $100 this month - you might as well just stay in bed.

But if I have the goals of making $10,000, $100,000 a month - bro, I’m springing out of bed.

Set 3 year goals, and 1 year goals. Remember - people overestimate what they can do in 1 year, but underestimate what they can do in 3.

3 years is a long time!

Don’t limit yourself. Base these goals around the areas of Health, Wealth, Relationships and Mind.

But as well as this, go into vivid detail about your ideal life:

• where will you live?

• what’s the climate like?

• countryside or city?

• what does your ideal day look like?

• what does your family life look like?

The more specific, the better. This will allow you to visualise it so much better - this is the key to unlimited motivation.

Prioritise Your Purpose

These big goals are great, but they can be a bit overwhelming, inducing anxiety.

Or worse - you just spend your time daydreaming about achieving them, mentally masturbating over your goals, without ever taking any action.

At that point, you don’t need more motivation - you need clarity over what to do next.

So, we need to gradually break this 3 year vision down.

Which of the 4 sections (Health, Wealth, Relationships, Mind) are you going to prioritise for the next 30 days?

You can’t do it all. For 30 days, you have to prioritise. One thing to obsess over, one thing to spend all of your free time and mental energy on.

Set an actionable, measurable goal for this area. Then go and achieve it.

Examples:

• Hit 80kg bodyweight

• Hit 750 subscribers

Don’t worry, we won’t stay like this forever - what I like to do is at the end of every month, I take an objective look at my life, and ask: “which of these 4 areas (Health, Wealth, Mind, Relationships) is lagging behind the most?” Then I spend a month prioritising that, systemizing it.

Then if you keep doing this, leveling up what’s holding you back, every month for 3 years, that’s how you end up at your 3 year vision.

Balanced in the long term. Obsessed in the short term.

Creating a System

For each goal you have set in the previous section, ask yourself - if I could only do 1-3 things to accomplish this goal, what would they be?

Some examples:

• Gym 4x a week

• Write 1 hour/day

Most people think to achieve these big, crazy goals, they have to do more things - but that’s not true. You have to do less things, but better. (This is the foundation of Essentialism).

Identify these couple of tasks, and just zero in on them. Dedicate the majority (if not all of) your time towards them.

Now when you look at the list you’ve written out in front of you (if you haven’t been writing, what tf are you doing), you might be thinking “well, I’ve already tried all of these before. I’ve tried going to the gym, I’ve tried meditating every day. How is this going to change my life?”

The difference is, and the reason that you failed to stay consistent in the past, is because you didn’t have a WHY.

These small, maybe difficult, or maybe even boring tasks, now have the positive emotions of excitement and joy attached to them.

This is the power of big, scary goals combined with small, actionable steps.

Motivation + Clarity = Freedom.

So now that you’ve identified the small, recurring, actionable steps you need to take to reach your goals - you need to arrange them into a system that, once set in motion, will fastrack you to your goals.

You don’t have to force it - just let the system take care of it.

So how do we do this? How do we turn your brain (the same brain that procrastinates, jacks off and then copes by telling you “it’s not that bad”) into an automated success machine?

You need structure. Structure is King.

Human beings thrive on structure. We are creatures of habit. morning routines, nighttime routines, gym routines, whatever - make it automatic.

Plan your day. With autistic detail. Every minute of your day should be planned out, should be allocated towards your 3-year vision.

Eventually, this shit just becomes habit. Writing, recording, reading, working out, all of it is just part of my life now.

This is how I know I will be rich. I will be successful.

And I hope you will too.

Hope this gave you some value bro.

Until next time,

Yvan

P.S. If you liked this framework, this is only a tiny part of what I go through in The Road To Freedom.

Spaces for the live call are very limited, so make sure you get there first so you don’t miss out!

I’m so excited to share this with you guys. 31st October. Halloween. Be there.
