Speaker A
understanding, using, and improving your version of yourself, you can truly accelerate your progress toward your goal. So, I urge you to watch this video from start to finish so you understand all the elements used in this scheme and can apply them to your
Speaker A
own goals. The first element we need to understand from this scheme is that we must have the right goal in front of us, the reason why we are putting in all our effort, all our actions, and why we
Speaker A
know where we are heading. Because if we don't understand what our main goal is, we won't be able to understand what kind of person we need to become to reach it. That is, we aren't chasing our goal; we are chasing the person who
Speaker A
can achieve it. Therefore, regarding the formation of your goal: first, it shouldn't be superficial, and second, it shouldn't be imposed. And third, you should view your goal over a ten-year horizon. Why exactly like that? Because your next five years are formed
Speaker A
precisely by those ten years. After that, your year is formed, then the month, and so on. In other words, the goal you set for ten years will help you better understand what actions you need to take and what results you
Speaker A
should reach in five years. After that, you'll be able to better understand what actions you need to take and what results you must achieve within a year.
Speaker A
After that, you can move on to the next question. For example, ask yourself the question: "Why?" This specific question will give you a better understanding of why you want to move toward this goal.
Speaker A
So, you ask yourself: "Why?", answer it, and then ask yourself again: "Why?", and so on. When you keep asking yourself this question and answering it each time, one after another, you find a clearer truth as to why you want to
Speaker A
pursue this goal. Because it happened to me that I asked myself this "why" question. And by the thirty-sixth "why," I gave a clear answer as to why I wanted to move toward this goal. It wasn't at all the initial reason why I
Speaker A
wanted to pursue this goal, but rather my final one. For everyone, this might be different. Some might have more answers as to why, others might have fewer. But it is this that will allow you to understand more clearly why you
Speaker A
truly want to move toward this goal. After you have decided on your goal, you then need to determine what kind of person you need to become, that is, which version of yourself, to accelerate your progress and move faster toward your goal. That is, how I
Speaker A
used to form a version of myself and how it specifically helped me. If you think about it, our thoughts in our head shape our actions, and our actions shape our results. So, in order for us to change our version of ourselves, we
Speaker A
literally need to change our thoughts. Our thoughts will change our actions, and our actions will change our results. And because of this, we will be able to move toward our goal faster. How exactly do you change your thoughts and
Speaker A
move literally to the next version? You can take a blank sheet of paper and literally write down a picture of yourself right now, that is, your first version. Let's say this is version one of you, the one you are now, you write
Speaker A
down exactly how you look, what you do, what your actions are, what your habits are, and so on. So you have written this down. After that, you take the next blank sheet of paper and literally write out what version of you you
Speaker A
literally need to become in order to be more likely to get closer to your goal. So you literally write down on this sheet of paper what kind of person you need to become, what skills you need to improve, and so on. That is,
Speaker A
you analyze what actions you need to change from your first version to the second. The most important thing is not to set some super big actions that you have never done before. You need to make such a small improvement to
Speaker A
yourself, to the next version, so that you are more likely to be able to follow it. So, after you have written down all the elements of this version, you must then read this document. When you read this document, it then gets
Speaker A
into your head. When it gets into your head, you then change your thoughts. When your thoughts change little by little, your actions then change, and after that, your result changes.
Speaker A
Because you are changing your actions, this gives you an acceleration, specifically faster toward your goal.
Speaker A
So, when we specifically move to our next version over time, we then improve our actions, that is, our X. When our X improves, then we are more likely to take the right actions that lead faster to our goal. So, let me give you an
Speaker A
example: if, say, version one has poor focus, dopamine spikes, and so on, then progress toward the goal is, for example, 10%—let's say that's the speed, because you perform certain actions every day, and these actions shape your result. If, for instance, in
Speaker A
version two you have improved focus, dopamine regulation, or some other elements, well, then version two will have, say, 15% or 20% improved actions.
Speaker A
So, what does this mean? It means that because you have more correct thoughts, which shape more correct actions, these actions then produce a better result for you. All of this—meaning your "X," your actions—will accumulate day by day. As they accumulate, this will,
Speaker A
with greater probability, yield better and better results for you. So, when you improve your version, you are improving your actions and your results. After you have moved on to the second version, you take a clean sheet of
Speaker A
paper again and write down what improvements you can make to yourself for the next version. That is, you write down exactly which elements you want to improve. After you have written them down and defined this as version three, you reread it every day, for
Speaker A
example, in the evening. This gets into your thoughts. When you repeat this over a long period of time, these thoughts will be able to stay in your head more and more. After that, this will shape your actions for the better.
Speaker A
And after that, this will better shape your results due to the cumulative effect. And the most interesting thing is that with each step toward the next version, you will feel more confident and better, because you see that you
Speaker A
are truly making progress from your new actions; you also see that you are changing for the better, and it also becomes easier for you to perform harder tasks and see better results.
Speaker A
Again, this will not happen immediately. For some, it may take more time to transition to the next version, for others, less. The most important thing is to literally make the changes in your head for the next version, to
Speaker A
change your actions, and to change your results. And after that, when we reach this version, we then write down our new version again and continue to improve ourselves. So, by improving our version, we literally increase the potential for our results with every
Speaker A
new version, since we have more accurate thoughts, more accurate actions, and because these actions are more accurate, they lead to better results. So, thanks to this tactic, in just a couple of years, I was able to radically improve my thoughts, improve
Speaker A
my actions, and improve my results. Of course, everyone has different goals, but by analyzing your current version, understanding what next version you need to become, and knowing what you need to improve, you then make those changes, which alters your actions and
Speaker A
your results. After that, you literally gain speed due to the cumulative effect regarding your progress toward your main goal. And also, to have a clearer understanding regarding your version and your goal, this is what I always do. So, you have, for example, a goal for
Speaker A
10 years, 5 years, or for a year. And you break down that one-year goal into months, right? So, you have broken it down into months. After that,
Speaker A
think about what needs to be done. After that, you look at what you need to do during that single day. So, what tasks can you perform to make real progress toward your goal? After that, you look at your schedule and think
Speaker A
about what tasks you need to do every single hour. So, literally, what are you doing every hour to fulfill your plan for the day, right? And when you fulfill your plan for the day, you think about what actions you need to
Speaker A
take every day to fulfill your plan for the month. So, if you understand what tasks need to be done in a month, you will be able to complete and literally win your year. So, when you have this whole picture in front of you, it
Speaker A
becomes easier to understand what actions you need to take in a single day, and what version of yourself you need to be to honestly complete all these tasks. Because our tasks are literally the actions we need to take
Speaker A
to move our progress forward. When we take all these actions, our cumulative effect kicks in, and the faster we move toward our goal, provided we do this every day systematically and so on. The more effectively we execute all our
Speaker A
tasks and all our planned actions, the faster our progress. And so that we can complete all our tasks, we need, once again, to improve our version so that nothing can stop us. Also, so we can have good focus there, meaning we can
Speaker A
do deep work, have good dopamine levels , good sleep, good nutrition, and so on . Meaning all the elements that help you accelerate your progress and your process, it’s literally a version of you, right? And all the thoughts in
Speaker A
your head, they shape your actions and, literally, your results. That’s why I always try to improve my version to improve my thoughts, to optimize all my elements even better, to accelerate my progress toward my specific goal even more. So, guys, I hope that thanks to
Speaker A
this scheme, you’ve come to better understand exactly what system is needed to literally change your version , why it’s even done, and how, by changing your version and having a clearer, more understandable goal, you can literally accelerate your progress
Speaker A
toward achieving it. Again, everyone has different goals, but if you follow this whole system and literally change yourself as a version and optimize your goal by years, months, days, and hours —when these two elements come together—then you’re more likely to
Speaker A
move toward your goal at maximum speed. So, guys, thank you for watching this video. Good luck to everyone. I’m rooting for you. M.
