1
This is how to change your life in 30 days.
2
Step one, cut the crap.
3
It's time, as the kids say, to lock the in.
4
Most people's whole year is multitasking to get nothing done.
5
Have you ever seen the person that goes like, hey, count to one, two, three, four, five, six, then do A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and how long it takes them to do that?
6
If they do it quick, it might take like 15 seconds.
7
If they go A1, B2, C3, and onward, it can take them over a minute and a half.
8
So you're forcing your brain to context switch because you have too many things going on.
9
Pick one, let's get a win.
10
First off, we have to write one primary outcome for the next 30 days.
11
What is the one thing that if you just got done, it would change your energy around your life?
12
The second is we have to choose two habits that are gonna drive that forward.
13
The way we do that is we habit stack.
14
So if the thing is to get in a better shape, then you might go work out every day and eat better food.
15
Last, we have to say no to anything that doesn't feed that one goal.
16
Learn to say no. If it's not a hell yes aligned to that goal, it should be a heck no. Pick one f*ing goal.
17
Add two simple habits that feed it.
18
Ignore the rest.
19
So once you cut the crap and the overload is gone, you have to focus.
20
So now's the time to adapt to the next 30 days.
21
Step two, when things are easy, go hard.
22
I learned this from my coach and he calls it separation season.
23
There's two times a year where everybody else can coast.
24
Everybody else goes on vacation.
25
Everybody else slows down.
26
Think about summertime and Christmas time.
27
Take those two times a year and create separation from everybody else.
28
It's kind of like being on a highway at night.
29
And when you look around, there's no traffic, there's no distractions, and you in your car of life can floor it.
30
You build that gap on your competition and that's what separates you from everybody else.
31
So here's how you separate yourself.
32
First, that first 90 minutes, that is what I consider the deep work.
33
That is where you separate yourself from everybody else.
34
That is where you get focused on your number one priority.
35
Whatever problem is in your life, maybe you don't feel fit or you don't have love or you wanna make more money, that has to be the first 90 minutes of that day.
36
You have to give yourself the gift of being intentional and focus on you getting that reward.
37
Next, we have to skip the party.
38
Don't lose your early morning productivity because you stay up later than you should when you should have been recovering
39
because now is the time to actually go hard in the paint.
40
And finally, pick one weekend day to double your key habit.
41
I consider the weekdays when I get done, the weekend when I get better so I can have more leverage to get more things done.
42
Weekends is when you actually double down.
43
For me, it's Saturdays.
44
I practice my prompt engineering.
45
I use it to improve my skills.
46
I work on the skills that make me more valuable so that I can be more valuable to people in my life.
47
And if you do these three things, you will create separation from everybody else.
48
So now that you've created that separation, it's time to set your daily rituals.
49
Step number three, set daily non-negotiables.
50
Non-negotiable means you do it every day.
51
So when I mentor other founders, I have these five daily non-negotiables, but I wanna keep this really simple and easy for you.
52
So I'm gonna teach three of them, but essentially there's zero days off.
53
If the day ends with D-A-Y, they do these because I want to create a rhythm of success.
54
When you can live your life in momentum, you wanna fight to stay in it because things are exponentially and geometrically more powerful.
55
It's like putting your clothes on.
56
You don't debate it, you just do it.
57
The way I think about it, it's kind of like when I created my elite program.
58
I wanted to design these five daily non-negotiables in a way that it would make it impossible for them not to win.
59
And for what it's worth, if you're a business owner and you're looking to scale past seven figures
60
and you feel stuck and you're interested in working with me, just click the link below or scan the QR code and we'll see if it's a fit.
61
It's what I do every day with my eyes closed to help people win in life.
62
So these are the three daily non-negotiables anybody can apply to
63
accelerate their wins the first is your body what are the one
64
or two habits
65
that feed your body is it movement is your eating habits
66
is it your vitamins is it your stretching for me lately
67
i'm 45 stretching has become a big component in my life
68
but i've learned
69
that a body emotion stays emotion number two is your mind what's one to two daily habits
70
that could feed your mind for me i have to read
71
i have to read at least 10 pages i look at
72
it like i'm mining for something i can give back to
73
the world i want to be learning i want to be meditating those are things
74
that help me create awareness of this life i'm living in
75
so that i can be better for the people around me the third is business think of the one
76
or two habits
77
that you could add in your business to move it forward
78
think about the marketing activities the daily outreach the sales calls
79
for example one of the the things I make every one of my clients do is post three stories a day.
80
Three times a day, I want them to pull out their phone, talk to their phone.
81
It's really awkward and post those on their stories on Instagram, on Facebook, on TikTok.
82
I actually don't care where because it's the process of doing it.
83
It helps their business.
84
It helps them grow.
85
It helps them overcome their fear of learning to communicate or creating content.
86
And that pushes them outside their comfort zone.
87
For most people, it's improving their business relationships.
88
For other people, It could be marketing, trying to figure out how do you get your message about what you do in the right places.
89
Could be just shaking more hands.
90
You know, the more hands you shake, the more money you make.
91
I don't know what it is for you, but think about the two habits in your business that can move it forward.
92
One or two habits for your mind, your body, and your business.
93
Anybody can do this.
94
With your habits locked in, it's time to eliminate every single biggest thing holding you back from your goals.
95
Number four, stop making excuses.
96
Excuses are just lies that keep you comfortable.
97
You know, I don't have the money.
98
I don't have the relationships.
99
Those are just things you tell yourself to make it okay for not doing something.
100
I get that laying in a warm bed and warm blankets feels really good, but you know what feels great?
101
Living a life of your dreams.
102
And please don't say, I'll start on Monday.
103
That used to be my move.
104
I would be like Saturday, ate like a pig.
105
All right, I'm gonna start my diet on Monday.
106
Guess what?
107
You can start a diet halfway through a bag of chips.
108
For me, what happened is Monday became next week.
109
And then eventually next month.
110
And then eventually next year, because I never got to it.
111
I kept pushing it off.
112
So here are my favorite ways to eliminate excuses to make the last month the most productive of the year.
113
First, we have to say our excuse out loud.
114
Give it a name, like actually talk to it.
115
You can actually write it down and say, oh, this is my excuse.
116
It's got a name.
117
Let's call it Bob.
118
Bob, why are you in my life?
119
I really would like for you to f* it off.
120
Having that conversation might sound wonky, but when we name things, we then have the ability to change things.
121
Second, we have to ask, does this serve me?
122
Challenge it.
123
What would it mean if I didn't have this in my life?
124
I like to ask questions like, where did this come from?
125
Who taught it to me?
126
Why do I continuously allow myself to enable this behavior because it's in my life?
127
When you put a spotlight on it, it starts to dissolve.
128
There's this great quote that says, sunlight sanitizes, sunlight, putting attention on it will dissolve it, we'll clean it up, we'll get rid of it.
129
And lastly, if you can't dissolve it, ignore it.
130
It sounds crazy, but I tell people all the time.
131
Feel the feelings, have the excuse, fly the plane.
132
See, when people talk about like being courageous or taking action in spite of fear, that's what courage requires.
133
Courage isn't, I did it.
134
Courage is, I'm scared shitless right now and I'm gonna do it anyway.
135
If you do that, I can guarantee
136
that you're on your way to make this last month of the year the best month of the year.
137
So now that your excuses are gone, there's one more thing holding you back.
138
Step five, cut your time assassins.
139
Being successful isn't about what you do, it's actually more about what you don't do.
140
When I think about like the ultimate personal development plan, it's waking up in the morning, asking yourself, scan the previous day and go out of everything I did yesterday,
141
is there something I wish I didn't do?
142
But if I then knew what that was
143
and I make a commitment for today to do the thing
144
that I didn't do or to stop doing the thing that I knew I shouldn't have done, then today will be a better day.
145
That's why in my book, Buy Back Your Time, I have a whole chapter dedicated to time assassins
146
because I realized it doesn't even require money to buy back your time.
147
It requires you to stop stealing your time by having these time assassins show up and literally take from you.
148
And if I were to bet, one of your time assassins lives in one of these five categories.
149
The first one is notifications.
150
Turn them off.
151
I don't have notifications on my phone.
152
Look, I literally pull up my phone, no notifications.
153
Don't need them.
154
Why?
155
If somebody needs to call me, I'll go check my missed calls.
156
If somebody needs to get ahold of me, I'll go check whatever I need to check.
157
So just turn off the notifications.
158
Your focus and attention is worth way more to you than other people's need to distract you.
159
Second are the vices.
160
Remove them from your life.
161
And the vices aren't just alcohol, drugs.
162
It could be video games.
163
It could be anything you feel guilty for doing the next day because it took away from you.
164
That's what a vice is.
165
Third is energy vampires.
166
And this one, I can't tell you how powerful it is if you add it to your life.
167
To essentially do a friendventory, look at the people in your life and curate out the ones that take your energy.
168
When I interact with somebody, I ask myself a simple question.
169
Was that easy, light, fun?
170
Did I learn something?
171
If the answer is no, I say no in the future so I can create the space to say yes to somebody I may not even know.
172
Fourth is late nights.
173
I care more about getting up early and having that time to myself than I do staying up late at night.
174
My favorite thing my mother-in-law always says is nothing great happens after 9 p.m anyway, so go to sleep.
175
So here's a pro tip.
176
Set an alarm for when you go to bed.
177
Try figuring out your go-to-bed routine, not a wake-up routine.
178
Number five is saying yes.
179
Most people need to learn to say no. People have to say no to other folks
180
that are asking them to do things that aren't aligned with their goals.
181
Say no to the distractions.
182
Say no to these long conversations that don't go anywhere.
183
Just say no. And no is a full sentence and it ends with a period.
184
So now that we've freed up your time, it's time to make some progress.
185
Step number six, stack the small wins.
186
Most people don't celebrate the little tiny wins.
187
See, what you do when you celebrate those small wins is you build belief and belief builds identity.
188
And it's actually the identity that drives the actions.
189
When I'm driving home after work, I don't have to convince myself not to stop to buy a pack of cigarettes.
190
Why?
191
I don't smoke.
192
identity makes it easy for me.
193
It's like when I go to the gym, tracking my lifts, even if I don't get stronger, still makes the win there because I track the lift.
194
So here's how you track your wins to make this month the month where you start to build your identity.
195
Number one, we have to track your progress.
196
Every little thing you have to measure.
197
Peter Drucker always says, what you measure will get managed.
198
If you measure things, then you will start to make better decisions.
199
So measure your steps per day, measure the marketing you're doing, measure your weight, measure your revenue, measure what matters to your goal and track it.
200
I like to put things in a spreadsheet.
201
Every Friday, I track myself across seven different dimensions, okay?
202
It's the last bonus chapter in my book.
203
And these are just my life scores around things like love and hobbies and money and spirituality.
204
And because of that, I have a chance every Friday to reflect on my week, to measure myself.
205
And then I choose my two lowest scores and I do one thing, action for each to make it better the following week.
206
Number two is identify the win.
207
Most people just coast through life.
208
Things happen to them and they don't even notice the progress.
209
They don't even stop to like celebrate.
210
My creative director hit 2 million on YouTube.
211
It's our project, but he's the one that's spearheading it and creating it.
212
He wasn't even gonna celebrate it.
213
It's just like onto the next thing.
214
Don't be that person.
215
See, when you celebrate the little, the big ones come to life.
216
If you don't appreciate what you have, God's not gonna give you more to deal with.
217
And number three, share it with the world.
218
See, a lot of people don't wanna share their progress they don't wanna be considered braggadocious.
219
Here's what I've learned.
220
The more you share your wins, the more consistent you'll be because you've now just been public about what you just won at.
221
So if you went and lost a bunch of weight and you shared on social media, well, guess what?
222
When people see you next time, they go, oh my God, how are you doing?
223
Are you keeping it off?
224
And you're gonna be like, yep.
225
Cause you don't wanna be the person that says no. You don't wanna win in private so that nobody holds you accountable.
226
But the best part is you will 100% inspire them.
227
Isn't that the coolest thing?
228
I consider the three H's.
229
We go through the world and we unfortunately have to hurt.
230
Then if we're mature enough and we learn these things I'm sharing with you, we heal from those things.
231
And then the last part, which is why you should share with the world is that you can help other people by sharing your story of winning,
232
of transformation, of the setback and the struggles and how you overcame it.
233
By sharing this video with people, if this video helps you, then share with other people so that you can help them with your story, with your journey.
234
I think it's the most powerful idea in the world.
235
And if you do that, you'll start stacking wins that will build your belief, that will eventually shape your identity to make it not even a habit, just who you are.
236
Now that you've got momentum, this last message is to you.
237
Step number seven, start today.
238
Imperfect action today beats a perfect plan for tomorrow.
239
Whatever it is, you've got 30 days this month to actually turn it into reality.
240
Here's why.
241
Like a plane, taking off, the first few minutes take the most fuel.
242
So you just got to get that motion going.
243
Get the plane off the runway.
244
Once you're in the air, it's actually easier to keep momentum.
245
But the reason I'm so passionate about this is because I believe that life isn't about just being happy.
246
Life is about fulfillment.
247
And to feel fulfilled, we have to do two things.
248
And this is like my core message to everybody.
249
If we ever have a chance to sit down and have coffee, this is what I would tell you.
250
Number one, we want to wake up every day to strive to become the best version of ourselves.
251
What I like to call our 10.0 self your best moments of your life all into one day, and you live that day every day, that is the 10.0 version of yourself.
252
So we gotta wake up every day to become that person.
253
And then the second part to this, to feel true fulfillment, is to share yourself with the world.
254
Share your wins, share your process, share your progress.
255
See, that's what we're here to do.
256
We're here not just to make our lives better, we're here to use our example to help other people.
257
That's what it's always been about.
258
That's why the worst thing that's ever happened to you is actually your purpose if you're willing to look there.
259
And that's why for me, this month, the last month, setting you up to build
260
that momentum into the new year is one of the most
261
important times of the year for you to finally get on the train of feeling fulfilled.
262
So on that note, I need you to do two things.
263
Number one, write down your 30-day goal right now.
264
If it's lose 20 pounds in the next 30 days, that's aggressive, but write it down.
265
And number two is commit.
266
Post that goal on social media right now and tag me for accountability.
267
At Dan Martell, 2Ls and Martell on all platforms.
268
That's what I need you to do right now.
269
If you start this process, that life you've been dreaming of, it's not that far away.
270
You got this.
271
Just fucking do it.
272

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
