The mental system I ALWAYS use to transform myself. Warning: Simple, not easy.

Mapping out your versions. This is what we're trying to do here. We're trying to slowly shift you from version one to version two. We can start to map this out. Think about a timeline. What does your version 1.1 look like? What must you do for you to become version 1.1? Think of each stage like a new aligner or grade. Anytime I try and make a, you know, try and make a version change, I really think about breaking it down like this. Creating your own program of change. The idea is we create these mini programs. Ideally, I would always suggest if you're trying to work in a new domain, you want to try and find an established program. If you go to gymnastics, for example, it's so optimized for progression. You just need to start going to the beginners class, right? And then you will just ascend through the progression. And then a few years later, out you pop the other side. Really good at gymnastics. A lot of changes we do as adults, you know, we have to do them by ourselves and there are often not very clear paths. So we have to learn the skill of building our own programs. So this is why when you go through, for example, the education system, it's already mapped out. Yeah, this is something I struggled with when I realized I was really good at following other people's structures. But then when it came to creating my own, governing my own destiny, I didn't know how to do it. So this is where I got stuck for like five or ten years. Yeah, this is what, you know, I try and help people solve these days. It's hard. You just want to approximate. Right. You don't have to be really detailed. Just approximate the stages to start with because you will become more knowledgeable as you go. And I'll give you an example in a moment. Just use it to get started. Map out version 1.1, 1.2. Just to get you started. As long as your direction incorrect, you're pretty good. Here's a personal example. So I did a physique change. I wasn't supposed to show you the endpoint, but this is what I look like. How did I achieve that change? A lot of people wondered. I really did not like myself at that point. Yeah, I really disliked how I looked and I built a program for myself because I. This is not without trying. I spent years trying to change this, and that was how I looked. And I remember when I built this program out, I really hated how I looked. I kind of hit a mental place where I just needed to make this change. I was not Feeling healthy mentally, I was not in a good way physically. And anyway, I started to lose weight and I could see the numbers starting to fall ever so slightly on the scales. It was really hard, but I already started to feel better and I could start seeing changes at this point. The weight was dropping and I was starting to get some visual feedback at this point. And so I set these things so I would weigh myself quite regularly to track this, because sometimes you can't see things as fast as you can on the numbers and vice versa. Actually, then there was one point I was really feeling the heat. It was really difficult to make this transition. I wasn't ready to give up, but I was definitely feeling hard. But I also knew at some point it would be noticeable. And I had actually baked in this idea that eventually would be noticeable and what would happen. And I started getting some comments from some close friends and the amount of extra motivation it gave me was insane. I actually didn't tell this. There's one particular friend that mentioned it and I remember it just lit a fire up my ass, like so much. I felt really good about myself and it really pushed me to go from here all the way to here. And I eventually kind of got to this, this level. Now I'm not totally there, you know, right now because it was pretty extreme, but I just wanted to know whether I could do it and got to the version two. And now I've got pretty. I'm pretty high confidence that I can make these changes anywhere I want at any time. This is the first time I did it and I'd spent about eight years trying to battle with this. And I did it sustainably because I was still eating out when I wanted to. And it was a really nice kind of harmony with my physique and my weight. Now I'll just give you another example. Content creation. I went from this. Yeah, you can see it was awful. I'll explain this in a moment. And eventually getting to this. What was my journey like? I was scared of speaking, you know, if you've been to. If you've taken some of my other courses. I talked about having my YouTube channel in 2006 and being too frightened to post for nearly 14 years, right. So I built a program. It was the only way because remember, I tried to beat this for over 10 years and I couldn't do it. I kept watching all these YouTubers. You know, there's some YouTubers who weren't even born when I created my YouTube account and wanted to create content. Right. Every day passed and I Wasn't able to do it. So I'd had enough. And once I'd figured out these systems are working for me, I built my own little mini program. So what I started doing was I started speaking to myself in the car and I rigged my phone up to record me while I'm driving. So I can't look at the camera. I'm just. It was just filming, filming me. And I just talk away because I'm. I'm okay to talk in the car by myself or with people. And then slowly, you know, it. There were quite a few micro steps in here. Then once I got used to having the camera on, so I used to get really afraid of seeing the red recording light. It's kind of crazy on a camera. It would freak me out like crazy. And then eventually I got to the point where I posted my first TikTok video. And this was, you know, one of them. Here you can see I. I can see the nerves in the, in the screenshot. And then I got comfortable publishing videos. And then it was a case of optimizing content, upgrading production quality. And you can see the change here, you know, to the point of here. And I'd say, you know, I was feeling really confident by the time I got to this level. And it was very consistent. And I'd done over four or five hundred videos by that point. Bear in mind where I came from, 14 years of fear. And I had to do these drills to get me to speak in front of a camera lens because I was so afraid of the red recording light. So a question people ask me is, did I have this fully mapped out? Did I know all of that? Because how do you know what you don't know? Well, I'll answer that. No, I didn't. I only had an idea about the first few versions. And I knew if I get to here, I had a loose idea of what happened. I knew there would be a stage where I might want to get a new camera, I might want to optimize my content, but I had no idea how it's going to turn out. So it just became clear after I got to around version 1.3. And I knew this. So I would just sit at my desk, so I have my phone here and I would just lean against some books. I didn't even have a mobile stand at the time and just lent it against the, you know, the pile of books I was talking about. And. Yeah, and I just recorded it. And I use a little mic. No, it wasn't even a mic. I was just using the phone audio then I used just standard headphone speakers with the mic on the wire to speak to then slowly upgraded from there it became a lot clearer what I needed once I'd reached version 1.3 so hopefully you understand this as a concept so to help me map this out I've got loads of I've got some nice little worksheets they are guided we start from level one and then we work your way up they are templated too so it will because creating programs for yourself is quite hard so I've also got some bonus template programs and you can see here here and there's some cheat sheets examples from clients and over the next few months I'm going to add a whole bunch of new examples from live clients I've worked with so this is not just theory this is in practice what we laid out and if you've got any requests for specific ones I'll help map these out and give you as examples because I've got hundreds so let me know.
