Signs you're close to a massive breakthrough

Okay, so if you're watching this video, then I relate to you way more than you probably realize, because I get it. You know, you've been doing all this work, you've been doing all of these things and following all these things on the Internet, or you've been chasing after this vision, but you're just not quite there yet. And it feels like sometimes you're moving backwards. You know, the things that you're doing, you're like, oh, I. I'll relate to you. Especially with this YouTube channel. You know, I was. I originally started it, and I was getting like 100 views. Like, getting 100 views on a video was, like, awesome. That meant it was like a better video than the rest. And then one video got a thousand views in the span of like, a day. And I was like, whoa. You know, that was cool. Like, I've made videos. I've gotten millions of views in the past. But, you know, I was. I was uploading videos constantly on this channel, and I. I got to one video that got a thousand views, and I was like, whoa, that's cool. And people were reaching out to me, like, oh, I saw your video. It helped, you know, kind of change my mindset on things. So I was like, okay, cool. So I kept uploading videos, and then I was getting like a. Like a hundred views, a video pretty consistently. And then all of a sudden, one of my videos got, like, I don't know, 2,000 views in the span of two days. And the next one, it now has, like 70,000 views on the channel. And as soon as I saw that, I was like, okay, wow. You know, this was a side project. This was supposed to be for fun. And then this video blew up. It ended up making my. It generated my business, like, $30,000 in revenue. And I was like, I need to. I need to go hard on doing this thing. And I can't get the smudge off these glasses. And as soon as I saw that happen, it started to turn from, okay, I'm doing this for. For fun, to, wow, this is like real people are watching this video. I'm seeing it change so many lives. It's also bringing a lot of business my way, and I need to keep going and keep doing this. And so it went from being like this fun little kind of like emotional release, I guess, or like me journaling in. In thought conscious stream, just kind of making videos to. It became like a full production. And then. So then I started just going hard. I did a lot of research on videos, started kind of scripting them out and. And putting out content, and they were doing pretty well. Like, I was getting like a couple thousand, four thousand views a video. And then a couple of videos that I put out, did they perform really poorly. And then it started to feel like things were moving backwards now. You know, by no shape or form was any of the money that I made off of this channel, like, life changing or anything. It's like, for me to make 30 grand, it's not that crazy, but staying. And then as soon as the results started slipping away, I felt very personally, kind of like I took it very personal, which you're not. Like, I know I'm not supposed to, but I took it very personal. Like I wasn't good enough. Like, as soon as I started to vanish, it. It kind of. It confused me a little bit, you know, inside. And so what I ended up doing, if you watched my last video, and I may take it down, I just. I was like, you know what? Screw it. This is not the point of this channel to make these serious videos, especially because, like, a lot of the research that I was doing was, you know, it's like all these people are just their. Their lives are kind of like, it's easy to go down this rabbit hole of trying to. Trying to save all these people and. And make this content that's like, relating to these people at such, like, a lower vibrational state of, you know, that, like, woe is me. Like, all this shit's happening to me and like, you know, life is happening to me. And it brought me down along with researching and. And diving into, like, the understanding of the people watching some of the content. And it was like, you know, this pocket audience and try to understand them. And me doing that, it brought me towards that. Towards that route and towards that state. And so all this to say it forced me now, like, okay, then I was producing these videos over and over again, and it just forced me to kind of like, into this weird position and into this kind of weird mind state. And so then what I had to do was I had to just say, fuck it. Like, I don't care anymore. Like, I don't give a. About trying to appease this audience or this group of people and instead making videos that I wanted to do. And so the point, like, kind of tying it back into the point of this video, which is. It gave me a breakthrough. I had a breakthrough in the last video, which was, I don't give a. That's why I made this channel. That's why I'm doing this. And the Months where I had the greatest breakthroughs in my business was when I put in the work. I showed up and I kept doing the thing really like, I, like I tried really hard to get the result and the result just didn't come. And I just quit giving a fuck. Like, I quit caring about trying to make payroll. I quit caring about trying to show up a certain way. I quit caring about being this certain person that I felt like I needed to be. And instead I just showed up as myself. And when I just showed up as myself, that's when I had the greatest breakthroughs. That's when my personality shined through. That's when my authenticity shined through. That's when just who I was and why I was doing things shined through. That's when I came up with bigger reasons, bigger purposes. And when I got creative with, like, creative in the sense of being myself instead of creative in the sense of doing the work, like, you know, I still doing the work, but like, I got creative in how I. How, like how I showed up and just quit caring. And when I had those quick caring moments, that's when the greatest breakthroughs happened. And the point of making this video is to relate to you in the sense of there's going to be times when you're doing things and it's just, you know, you start to ask yourself, is the cost, like, how much it costs to get me to this place? How much, how much time have I sacrificed to get to this spot? How much, how much have I spent in financial resources to get to this spot? How much of it I spent, and what was the cost of getting to this place? And that's a normal, you know, it's like a, it's a, it's a normal thing to start thinking. It's a normal process. But what I will tell you is as soon as you start asking how much it's cost to get to this spot and what have you sacrificed to get to this spot, Then it starts to get a little bit twisted inside of your mind. Then you start to kind of, that's where you kind of get this over. Oh, am I really doing this thing? Is it like, it like is, is that, am I willing to spend these things to get the result? And instead what you're getting away from is, is this all worth it? What is it worth to you? And when you start with the cost and, and then the worth, like, and you're moving away from what the worth is to you, your brain starts to kind of go into this reactionary state of Defense, you know, I'm like, okay, I've spent like whatever 100 hours into making these things and I'm not getting the result. That was a waste. Like, that cost was a waste of time is the easy default. But instead, if I negotiate what the price is that I'm willing to pay before I even start the thing, and then I ask myself, what's it worth to me? Instead of what does it cost? Then that's what my brain rewires. Because let me tell you this. Like, you know, the analogy that I'll. I'll use a lot of times is if I had this AMG GT, this hundred and 30, 000 car and I gave it to you for $20,000, nothing's wrong with it, it's perfectly fine. Miles aren't crazy or anything like that. Would you buy it? Most people, they'd be like, oh, I don't have 20 grand for it. Like, you know, like that's. Or do I have 20 grand, yes or no? And if not, okay, I, I can't buy it. But I give, I'm giving you $130,000 car for $20,000. You're making $110,000 if you buy this car from me. So a wise person would go and find somebody that has the money that they can borrow and then give it back to them, or they would bring a friend in on the deal or whatever it is. They would find a solution. They would find a way to get the money or to get the resources together to buy the car because they're up instantaneously. And that's the thing is like, what's it worth instead of what's it cost? That's the question. Are you getting a greater value than what you are putting in? And so when I started into this career of building businesses and becoming rich, on this journey of becoming wealthy and living my dream life, that was the question I had to ask myself, was what was all of this worth to me? And I came to the conclusion that living this life of changing my family name forever, of being able to spend time with my family and having my own freedom, to be able to choose what I do with my own time, and to being able to meet incredibly successful other people that inspire me to become the greater version of myself and to live this life of luxury, to feel abundant instead of feeling scarcity all the time, and to lean into my greater purpose and my greater calling of being able to help so many people, what is that worth to me? Was the question that was ringing through my head. And I told myself that I will do whatever it takes. As long as it's not unethical or immoral and deteriorates my family name, I will do whatever it takes to do that. And that sacrifice and that commitment of I am willing to do the sleepless nights. I am willing to lose a sense of self and, and, and do the, do the things that seem silly or seem corny or out there and, you know, lose, like, have humility and, and shutting up and listening to people that are where I want to be and, and not caring how I am perceived by people that don't matter to me. Like people that aren't doing anything with their lives and, and, and not caring about all those things or, you know, willing to make those sacrifices of putting in the hours of, of maybe not being as present in my early 20s so I can live a life full of whatever I really want it to be. I negotiated those prices up front. I already told myself what I am willing to commit to this and what I am willing to pay. And I told myself that I am willing to do whatever the things are. And so those moments now when you're at these lows, when you're going through the things that are hard or difficult, are not fun, where you're starting to wonder, is the cost worth it? Like now while you're in the middle of all that, you can't negotiate the price while you're in the middle of it because it distracts you and takes you away. It takes away what you need to do and the energy and the focus to, to have this breakthrough and to get through the thing. And so I already negotiated those prices in the past. If I get the results that, like, aren't satisfying to me. I'm not wondering if this is all worth it anymore or if, like, if I'm willing to keep going if I don't get the result. I already made that negotiation in the past. I already told myself I'm willing to do whatever it takes. And so all I do is when I'm in those moments when I'm about to have those breakthroughs and I know that it's really hard right then and there's. I tell myself that I was willing to do whatever it takes. And that work that I like that moment when it's really hard or it's really difficult and I'm like, really, I guess, challenged emotionally and mentally, I just go back to that. I told myself I would do whatever it takes. I'm willing to lose a couple of, like, willing to have a Couple of sleepless nights. I'm willing to take, deal with the pressure of all these people's lives and relationship. Like all these people's lives and financial futures are relying on me. I'm. I'm willing to be the crazy person with the big ass vision that almost feels kind of impossible so that way other people can build their visions inside of my vision. I am willing to break the beliefs and the thoughts and the habits that I had previously that don't serve me anymore. I am willing to lose all of my friends if they're holding me back from becoming the person that I am supposed to be. I, I am willing to give up those relationships if they're holding me back from becoming a greater version of myself in the long run. Because ultimately they're probably not actually really good friends. They might perceive like they were, but if they're holding me back, then that means they're not really good friends. That means that they're actually really selfish and that I give them, you know, like I, I'm. They're holding me back. So that's the question that you're at right now. If you're about to have that breakthrough watching this video. If you're at that point where if things feel really hard, they feel really difficult, keep pushing. You want to ask yourself, what are you willing to sacrifice and make that decision today? Like, what are you willing to sacrifice? There might be some things you're not willing to sacrifice. Like if you have kids, maybe you'll never sacrifice missing a sports game, maybe you'll never sacrifice missing your, like missing your kid's wedding or something. Like there's some sacrifices that aren't like, no matter the cost. Like me. Me helping 20,000 people is not worth me being there for my family if they're sick or not healthy and they need my help. Like that's. I'm not willing to sacrifice my, like I'm not willing to sacrifice my family for my business. Like there's some things like that that I'm not willing to sacrifice. So you need to figure out what those things are for you. So then you. When you're going through those hard things or when you got those tough decisions and maybe the results aren't coming the way that you want, you've already made those decisions ahead of time. So then you're not trying to negotiate the prices while you're in the midst of it. So if right now is a time when you need to make a decision to actually go and change your life and to, and to build that business and to build that dream, then you need to make that decision now. What are you willing to sacrifice for that dream before it gets hard, before it gets tough? So then when you're in the midst of it, you're not thinking, oh, do I really still want this thing? You already paid the price. You already said that you're going to do whatever it takes. You already said that you're going to to. To do it. If it's scary, if it's tough, or if it's hard, you're still going to show up. Even if you're not seeing the results right away, you're still going to show up regardless. You're still going to give yourself six months, you're still going to give yourself a year, you're still going to give yourself five years. You're going to commit to doing whatever it takes to make this life happen. So then when you're in those things and in those moments, when you're in those breakthroughs and then when you're in those low moments, those parts where it's really tough, when you're not making the progress that you want to be and you're not getting the results that you want to have, that's where those breakthroughs happen. That's where you really question are what beliefs serve me, what beliefs don't. What. What work am I doing that serves this greater vision and what work doesn't? And that's in those moments are when you find out the greatest version of yourself. And that's when on the other side of those hard times are when the easy times are about to come. When it's been raining and it's been pouring just for days and weeks and months, that means that sun's going to come right around the corner here soon. Eventually it's going to come out, the sun's going to break through, it's going to show a beautiful rainbow, and things are going to turn easy for you. And when those easy moments come, you have to remember those hard moments. But that's for another video. So that's what I got. I love you all watching this video. Thank you so much for watching this.
