The imperative

let's get straight into it number one buy your  friend's product at full price if you want to  

help your friends who are entrepreneurs then buy  their products at full price and tell others about  

To-infinitive

it there's this mindset to ask for mates rates and  ask for a discount because the person selling is  

someone you know but by doing this you're actually  taking from them not giving to them they will  

let you know if they have a friends and family  discount that is available so the best thing you  

can do for a small business or an entrepreneur  friend is to buy their product at full price  

and leave them a review number two marry the  financially stable we are programmed to think that  

money is a taboo topic and it's awkward to discuss  and so often we don't discuss that with our  

partners at all unless there's a problem in fact  money is the top reason why couples fight why did  

you spend that much how are we going to pay for  our bills this month and so when you develop that  

pattern of only speaking about it when there's  a problem then over time you're going to dislike  

money you're going to dislike talking about money  or you're just going to dislike your partner  

one of the things that financially successful  couples do is they talk about money regularly  

and proactively they don't wait for a problem to  rise before they decide to talk about it laying  

out your financial goals and laying out your  views on money is something you and your partner  

want to get used to and you want to have these  conversations sooner rather than later number  

three work from a desk what do you think of when  you imagine your bed maybe sleep maybe relaxing  

maybe chilling now what do you think of when you  imagine your desk work productivity maybe a little  

bit of stress that's exactly what your brain  does every single time you switch environments  

it's something called context dependent memory  and it's a term for saying that your brain links  

behaviors with the places that you do them when  you perform a specific task in a specific place  

you'll feel kind of energy that will drive you to  do that task so working from a desk helps you get  

the work done be productive but also optimize  for work-life balance when you're able to shut  

your computer and physically move away from your  workspace you're sending a clear signal to your  

brain that is time to de-stress and switch off you  want to avoid mixing location energy for different  

tasks next we have think before accepting the  first offer there's two sides to every story  

and the same goes for negotiations so whether it's  about to secure a new job or accepting the terms  

on the lease for a new car often the first offer  that is put on the table is not the best offer  

that the other party can do and it's usually just  a starting point the other party in most cases  

expects some back and forth and negotiation has  very much been factored into their initial offer  

so if you're always accepting the first offer  without even thinking you're very likely leaving  

possibilities and opportunities on the table  understand the root cause of jealousy this is one  

that really helped me find my journey and what I  wanted to get out of my life you can't be jealous  

of someone or something that you don't truly want  yourself for example I'm not the least bit jealous  

of someone who dresses immaculately day in day  out I I don't want to it doesn't interest me it  

doesn't spark anything in me but if I saw someone  doing what they truly loved day in day out that  

used to make me feel a certain way and I knew that  more than anything else that's what I wanted to  

create instead of using jealousy to send negative  thoughts into the world or to other people put it  

into inspiration use that negative energy and put  it into motivation when you get that unsettled  

feeling recognize and give yourself room to unpack  and understand whatever it is that you're jealous  

of and then put your energy into making that  thing happen for yourself next say less than  

necessary I'm finding more and more two types of  people in life and specifically on social media on  

one side there's the people who say oh I've been  working really hard on this book or this product  

or in the service for the last two years and it's  finally here and you realize that they haven't  

mentioned that at all over the last two years that  they've been working on it they've been working on  

it in the background and in silence and then on  the other side there are people who are telling  

everyone they meet about how they've got all  these big plans coming up and watch the space and  

there's something coming soon and then you don't  hear about that thing again nothing comes from it  

it's so easy to get the kick and the validation  you need from posting about doing the thing and  

telling everyone about doing the thing instead of  actually doing it by saying less than necessary  

I don't mean gatekeeping information or being  secretive about the knowledge you have I'm a big  

believer in absolutely the opposite I'm an open  book on this YouTube channel but I do believe that  

to do anything great and to really set yourself  apart you need to spend more time doing the thing  

than talking about doing it next we have eating  healthy this is a key part that gets forgotten  

about in the hustle and grind and it's so easy to  just get a takeaway or get an ubereats when you  

have a million things to do but if you have your  health in check you're able to perform better you  

can work Less hours and more productively so you  want to eat healthy now at the moment my life is  

a bit chaotic I've got different things that are  going on even when I'm not able to spend time to  

cook an organically healthy meal a product that  I've been relying on recently is hewell who are  

very kindly sponsoring this video you already  know that I have been a paying a customer for  

heal for the past two years now and there are  two products that I have been really enjoying  

recently one of them is they're ready to drink and  I've been getting deliveries for this monthly and  

it's a whole meal a whole nutritionally complete  meal in a single bottle and the second thing I've  

been loving recently as I'm getting back into my  exercise routine is their protein powder I add 300  

milliliters of cold water first and then one scoop  of complete protein I then give it a good Shake in  

my heel Shaker which I got for free with my first  order along with the t-shirt and you could get the  

same using the link below so thank you so much  fuel for sponsoring this video and for helping  

me make sure I'm getting all my proteins and my  minerals into my diet next we have read every day  

there is a constant Chase for mentors and we often  think we need a mentor to unlock opportunities to  

unlock possibilities we need a mentor to get past  a certain level we need to be around a certain  

group of people to level up what we often miss is  that everything that we need every skill that we  

need to learn every problem that we need solved  can be figured out somehow through the internet  

through a podcast through an interview through a  book books are the most radically condensed form  

of knowledge in the world you can get someone's 10  years worth of knowledge and experience condensed  

into a book that you can read over a weekend if  I really want someone to be my mentor and they're  

so far Out Of Reach I'll listen to every podcast  they have every interview and I'll read every book  

written by them next we have focus on practicality  a lot of us get tied up with this whole find your  

passion find your purpose BS and we put so much  equity on it that we don't get started on anything  

until we have a clear view on what our passion or  purpose is but the truth is that very few people  

are successful from finding their passion on their  first go and then making a living from it it's so  

hard to do and it takes months and years of trying  other things first and seeing what sticks focus on  

learning skills that are practical focus on skills  or businesses that are practical all these things  

that you try may not be the thing that leads to  what you where you want to be eventually but it  

will definitely help you in getting there it will  put you further than just sitting and waiting for  

your passion and purpose to come to you before you  get started next we have spend time in solitude I  

went to a motivational talk recently and the  speaker asked the 2000 people in the room to  

stand and he then said If in the last seven days  you have spent more than seven consecutive waking  

hours away from your phone then sit down and no  one in the room sat down he then reduced those  

seven consecutive hours to five hours so if you've  spent more than five waking hours away from your  

phone then sit down a few people sat down he  then reduced it to three hours maybe about 100  

or so people sat down and then one hour and the  majority of people in the room stood standing most  

of us can't spend time away from our phones and  researchers show that due to smartphones we have  

a harder time concentrating we don't know what to  do with our down time or our boredom and we feel  

anxious when we don't have our phones because  we feel like we're missing out on something if  

you want to live a life that is different from  everyone else's and you want to do things that  

other people aren't willing to do spend some time  every day by yourself without your phone and take  

this time to reflect on where you are and where  you want to be Choose Yourself I've been having  

a lot of conversations recently from different  people from different walks of life and I don't  

know what it is but every single conversation  I've had with the person has been around starting  

something new and doing something different and  taking a different path but the thing that stops
