The simple system that makes you unstoppable.

You may think to become unstoppable, you have to do some pretty difficult things. Luckily for you, that's simply not true. This video walks you through a six-step practical framework that helps you break down any goal, however insane, into something you can do... easily and effortlessly. In fact, this is the exact approach I took to be able to hold a plank for 30-minutes a day, every day... and I know you can too. This is not a superpower. It's just a system.

Step 1. Set Actions, not goals.
Step 2. The Lego Brick
Step 3. The Anchor and the Toll
Step 4. Become Pavlov's Dog
Step 5. The Feather
Step 6. Build the Skyscraper

No long intro retelling sad personal experiences, just a 30-second hook. No empty, impractical advice every hustle-motivation video would give you, just a simple 6-step tutorial. Most other "coaches" and "gurus" would take over half an hour just to start the video, and he managed to explain the entire thing in 12 minutes. This has to be one of the BEST self-improvement video on the entire platform. You deserve ridiculously more views.

Was ready to the usual self-help bs, instead got good content. Well done man

[anushkaverma]

This is such an underrated channel. The quality, the content, everything is so good

Choose an action
Make it small
Attach it to an established habit (either before, during or after)
Reward yourself after
Never break the association
Add a little bit when it becomes too easy
Repeat

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:

00:00 🎯 *Set actions, not vague goals. Make them specific, time-framed, and actionable.*
01:51 🔄 *Minimize friction in your actions; break them into 5-minute, bite-sized chunks.*
03:41 🧠 *Start small with "Lego bricks" - easy, manageable commitments that build over time.*
04:23 🚦 *Use "anchors" and "tolls" to integrate tasks into your daily routine and create positive habits.*
06:59 🐶 *Become Pavlov's dog: pair enjoyable activities exclusively with your tasks to create positive associations.*
09:33 🕊️ *Gradually introduce "feathers" - incremental increases in difficulty - to build on existing habits.*
11:10 🏗️ *Build a skyscraper of habits over time, compounding positive actions for exponential growth.*

I appreciate how you deliver information. Concise, poignant, and comical.

Implemented this advice directly, when this video came out. Today I've reached the 100 day milestone for over 40 mini-habits! 💯✨
Thank you for creating this video, it changed the direction of my life positively :)

[cletus]

Brother where have you been all my life? Ive been listening to your videos for the last hour and i already feel as though i could challenge god with the self confidence your videos give me. Thank you so much!

[suecoates]

Such good advice! Funnily enough, I AM learning Spanish…started with no knowledge, and 5 minutes a day, and 8 years later (still on the 8 year streak), I can speak Spanish well enough to be understood! Now to apply this habit to other aspects of my life!!

Your videos are literally going to save my life. Sometimes I know exactly what I want and I want it bad but my bad habits take over and I find excuses as to why I don’t need to want it anymore. Like “ I have other goals and is it even something that I really want” I don’t know why my brain tries to tell me I don’t need the things I’ve dreamed of all my life.

I’ve had one goal my whole life but I always thought I would have to wait til later in life to accomplish it. Like after college or when I have a family and things like that. But I recently found out I can do it now!! BUT my mind can’t comprehend it and I just keep asking myself is this even what u want, what if u wanna do this later and u can’t bc ur doing this and shi like that but like I said I’ve dreamt of this for years. So idk y my minds trying to make me not want it as much as i do.

Moral of the story is your vids are helping me a lot to win the battle of me vs. me. So thank you so much😊

[Kozy_Corner]

This is the BEST video I have seen on this topic. Other videos on setting smart goals never explain enough, they go as far as “be more specific” and give no further explanations or examples. I’m going to definitely follow these steps and return back to this video from time to time because it’s all explained so well. Great job dude!

[dreapyxl]

Everyone else tells you to be a different person when this guy just improves it. This value should have a price tag on it

[kenfreeman]

I used your tools here to get a major project done. Thank you for the tips.

[C.C.Mousse]

I love visual videos because it is easier to understand instead of listening to non-stopping discussions without a second to visualize and understand every word and sentences, this is another example of a great video

[asdfjkl-znmp]

Step 2 was revelatory. It just clicked. It was a moment of, "Dang...he's right.". I'm always outcome oriented when thinking of ways to succeed materially, when I'm not someone who values material things beyond the bare minimum! understanding it in an action-oriented way makes things seem so much easier to achieve AND helps me decide on what I should be focusing on.

Subscribed to your substack btw. Good stuff there.

[bhavyabharatiya]

Best video about building habits, setting actions(not goals), becoming limitless I have ever watched. Just the level of clarity and understanding that I needed. This is the video that i will watch again and again. Thank you very much for such guidance.

[tylerstevensx]

Appreciate the high quality advice you give out on this channel. Working on getting my business to 1m revenue and getting my golf handicap from 20 to 10 this year 🤙

[eduardohernandez]

This topic right here is the crux of the issue. You could have the best idea/vision + the best plan but without consistent action you are destined to fail yet no one really tackles how to become an action machine. Thank you my dude. I would like to see, if possible, more videos on the subject

[PatriciaDurbin-qj]

You always make complex subjects feel simple!

[nicholashall]

Much wow. This was pure gold. Zero filler. Subscribed.
