1
There's a simple way you can force yourself to be consistent and do hard things.
2
And it's not about having more motivation or discipline,
3
it's about building the right system.
4
At 22, I was working 15-hour days,
5
but I wasn't growing or getting things done.
6
Fast forward to today, and I built four successful companies and a community of over 14 million people.
7
In this video, I'll show you how to design a system that makes consistency automatic,
8
so even on the hardest days,
9
you're still able to follow through and get things done.
10
To build this system, you'll need to master the three levels of consistency.
11
Level one, design the system.
12
Level two, become the system.
13
And level three, scale the system.
14
Each of these has its own set of habits that will set you up for success.
15
The math to consistency is really simple, right?
16
1% better every day is 37 times better in a year.
17
Humans have a hard time really fathoming what compounding looks like.
18
Because in any given day,
19
it doesn't sound like you're really moving that much.
20
But suddenly when you take a step back over 30 days,
21
a year, you're amazed at how much you've accomplished.
22
Most people aren't bad because of motivation.
23
They're bad because of the math, right?
24
When people go and see their small changes that they're making in the right direction,
25
they get down on themselves because they feel like they should be so much further along in life.
26
The truth is you're probably just riding out that long,
27
boring, growing slope to gradually really hitting the compounding success you're after.
28
You gotta embrace the gap,
29
the gap between where you are now and the effort you're putting in and really hitting that inflection point.
30
If you only remember one thing, it's this.
31
Small daily efforts beat massive bursts of effort, right?
32
It's those small daily wins that when you stack that up,
33
will build you something you're proud of.
34
Embrace those small wins that you can do now
35
that are in your control and have trust that when you just stay consistent with that stuff,
36
you'll accomplish great things.
37
The second part of designing your system is engineering your environment.
38
When I first started building my companies, my workspace was chaos.
39
Slack notifications all over the place.
40
My phone constantly buzzing, social media all sprinkled in throughout my day,
41
answering emails five times a day.
42
My desk was a mess.
43
My life was a mess.
44
I was using different substances to cope with the stress.
45
The reality is, is your workplace and your environment is a mess?
46
Well, your business is gonna be a mess.
47
If your mind is a mess,
48
you know, your life is a mess.
49
And so you need to go and declutter all of your environment, right?
50
Deletion equals simplification.
51
Now, what I learned over time building businesses is the importance of creating frictionless focus.
52
You want your environment to be incredibly conducive to you just being the best version of yourself.
53
When you look at your bedroom,
54
is it something that's conducive to an amazing sleep at night?
55
And when you wake up,
56
do you have your gym clothes packed and ready for
57
that nice morning workout that sets your day off to that winning stride?
58
We create our environments as humans,
59
but those environments also create us.
60
So create your environment intentionally.
61
So here's how you do it.
62
You got to audit your environment for friction.
63
First things first, look around you.
64
You know, there's probably different aspects on your workspace.
65
They're a mess.
66
Clean it up.
67
Think about the core habits and the core things that you're trying to become.
68
You know, maybe successful in business,
69
you're trying to be well rested.
70
You want to have good energy.
71
You want a good health.
72
What are the different things that you can do with your environment that would help make that success inevitable?
73
Step three is to plan over your mood.
74
Years ago, I'd wake up and just go with the day and see what the day was gonna bring me.
75
I'd gradually go and make a plan in the morning,
76
roughly what I wanted to do.
77
And I started to wonder,
78
why did the progress feel so slow?
79
Many days, I'd wonder, did I even get anything done?
80
You know, months would go by and I felt like my life was stalling.
81
What I realized through just some trial and error was that you really win the day the night before.
82
A lot of people think they need motivation to take action.
83
But the truth is that action creates motivation.
84
When you finally just start getting after something,
85
gradually the momentum builds, right?
86
And before you know it,
87
you're hitting goals, you're making strides.
88
Things start to all kind of fall into place.
89
The key to executing your plan is really taking
90
that minimum viable action that's going to move you forward to where you're looking to go.
91
You know, I'll see sometimes someone go and say,
92
oh, you know, I need to write an article tomorrow.
93
Well, that article, as an example,
94
could be broken down into figure out the headline,
95
do the research, make an outline,
96
begin writing the intro, finish the script, edit the script.
97
If we can take a project and break it down into more subtasks,
98
not only does it make it easier to get started,
99
but it also will give you a feeling of momentum as you go through and you check off each of these things.
100
Focus on tasks, not projects,
101
and break things down to the minimum viable action.
102
If you can handle all that,
103
you've passed level one and you're ready for the next level.
104
Level two, become the system.
105
And you do this by strengthening the mind-body connection.
106
When I was younger, I thought that working out was optional.
107
You know, you do it a few times a week,
108
you're good to go.
109
The reality is though, I think we're all different,
110
but for me at least,
111
if I'm not going and breaking a sweat every day,
112
I don't feel right.
113
You know, I've done studies at Harvard showing
114
that breaking a sweat is like better than Zoloft at fighting things like depression and anxiety.
115
And so, you know, getting a nice jog in,
116
a good run, a row,
117
you know, some yoga, whatever, is great to do.
118
Not sometimes, but doing something every day of the week.
119
At the end of the day,
120
a lot of life is about your energy, right?
121
It takes energy to get things done,
122
takes energy to take action,
123
takes energy to become the best version of yourself.
124
And if your energy is low,
125
well, your momentum's probably gonna be low in life as well.
126
So if you wanna be consistent with your work, start with your body.
127
You start to feel good,
128
you look good, you're feeling more confident,
129
your self-esteem goes up, and people can tell because your energy in a room is more captivating.
130
You feel confident, right?
131
You're not shying away in a corner.
132
You're totally fine getting in front of a group of people
133
and getting after it because the truth is
134
that the same muscles you're kind of working in the gym psychologically are oftentimes those same muscles
135
that you need to work to be consistent.
136
The same thing that's telling you to give up when you're on
137
that eighth rep with a really heavy set of weights
138
is that same sort of voice in your head that's telling you to stop
139
when you've done a couple of hard tasks and telling you to not do that third one.
140
Really, more than just working your body, you're working your mind.
141
The next step is an absolute requirement after the last one,
142
and it's to recharge like a pro.
143
Early in my career, I thought that rest was a weakness.
144
In fact, I thought it was like a badge of honor if I was pulling all-nighters,
145
working 18 hours a day.
146
I thought this was the way.
147
I was finally living like a successful entrepreneur.
148
What I've learned is that's actually the opposite of what it should look like.
149
Taking time to rest, to recharge, is much needed.
150
Now, for me, I know one of the most important activities
151
that I can take is every six weeks doing a soul trip.
152
You know, doing some kind of four or seven day little retreat in nature,
153
going for a hike, going snowboarding,
154
going downhill mountain biking, whether it's in the Dolomites,
155
Sequoia, Yosemite, wherever, doesn't matter,
156
but just getting out into nature.
157
You know, most founders and creators that I know,
158
they treat rest as optional and they self-sabotage themselves.
159
That founder that allows themselves to go and work so hard that they become really hard to be around.
160
You know, they start kind of making a mess in their company for employees to quit.
161
Suddenly now they're finding themselves,
162
trying to dig themselves out of a hole,
163
but just constantly kind of digging their own grave.
164
You know, I know this because I've been there, right?
165
I've been that founder that was burning the midnight oil,
166
difficult to be around, and slowly was causing my company to collapse.
167
You know, it's rest that brings clarity.
168
The last part of becoming your system is remembering that your friends are your future.
169
In my early 20s, I wasted a ton of time surrounded by a group of people that weren't great influences.
170
You know, I found myself partying on substances,
171
doing dumb shit, and I realized that I needed to do a bit of a friend audit,
172
Start to cut the people that were bad influences,
173
remove those people that were energy vampires just bringing me down,
174
and start to get much more curated about the people
175
that I really wanted to be around so that I could become the ultimate version of myself.
176
You need to make sure that you're surrounding yourself with people that reflect those dreams because at the end of the day,
177
the five people you surround yourself with are gonna largely dictate your own success.
178
So choose wisely.
179
Level three, scale the system.
180
Up until this point, I've shown you how to become more and more consistent,
181
but these next three steps are gonna help you become super successful,
182
starting with setting up accountability.
183
A year and a half ago,
184
I decided I was gonna write a book
185
and one of the first actions that I took was to announce it to everyone I knew.
186
The reason that I did it is
187
because I knew all these people around me were gonna hold me accountable to actually writing this damn book.
188
This sort of way of doing kind of a public accountability exercise of actually announcing to people like,
189
hey, I'm doing this thing has become incredibly motivating
190
because now I gotta fulfill on that promise that I've given so many people.
191
Most people avoid accountability because they fear embarrassment,
192
but that's the whole thing.
193
Your fear of embarrassment is gonna cause you to actually do the thing.
194
The moment you make a promise in public,
195
you're putting your reputation on the line.
196
And at that point, you will do anything to actually do what you committed to.
197
That's not pressure to avoid, that's pressure to leverage.
198
So if you wanna be consistent,
199
set up your accountability in three steps.
200
Number one, publicly announce that you're going to do the thing.
201
Number two, go and update those group of people every single week.
202
And number three, start building an audience of these kind of people that you've committed to now.
203
Use this as the momentum you need to stay after it.
204
This is what's holding most people back from achieving their goals.
205
When I launched FounderOS, actually it was called Soulful Entrepreneur.
206
Yeah, it basically sounded like a yoga studio.
207
You know, this thing was messy.
208
The site was janked together on Kajabi.
209
The branding was all over the place.
210
The color scheme was ugly as hell, but guess what?
211
I just launched it.
212
Looking back on that experience four years ago,
213
I don't regret a thing because it's going and putting yourself out there
214
and launching at 80% that allows you to go and make progress,
215
to learn and learn and then figure it out.
216
That's what allowed me to create the 180 powerful systems that we now offer inside of FounderOS,
217
which is the community of high growth founders that I've created.
218
None of that would have been possible though,
219
if I hadn't have just launched the messy first draft.
220
And so in your own life,
221
what does that look like?
222
What's that thing that, you know,
223
you've had it, you know,
224
sitting there in your folders or on your desktop or,
225
you know, in draft mode for far too long.
226
You know, this is your sign to just launch the damn thing.
227
What matters the most is your velocity of learning.
228
Are you putting things out there,
229
getting feedback, incorporating that feedback into what you're doing,
230
learning from it, doubling down,
231
stopping the things that aren't working,
232
and keeping that cycle going?
233
It's the fastest learners that are the biggest winners.
234
Now that you're consistent, well,
235
what do you do with it?
236
You compound it.
237
Over seven years ago, I struggled with alcohol,
238
you know, drinking at least four nights a week,
239
and it had become a pattern in my life,
240
a rhythm that I knew needed to stop.
241
And so sure enough, I got some help.
242
I got a coach, got a therapist and stacked up seven days of sobriety,
243
30 days of sobriety.
244
And then now seven years along that journey.
245
I also started stacking different habits.
246
I started to then journal just a half a page every morning that then led to three pages every morning.
247
And then led me to sharing some of
248
that work onto platforms like Twitter and LinkedIn
249
that gradually led up to building an audience of over 3.2 million people around my personal brand.
250
And that then led to the creation of FounderOS.
251
I tell you all this,
252
and I'm definitely skipping some of the details just to show you
253
that sometimes it's those most innocent little changes that we make
254
that stack up to create some of the biggest impacts in our lives.
255
And so when I think about going and building leverage these days,
256
one of the most important things that I do is four hours of Founder flow every single morning.
257
Now, for you, what you wanna think of is,
258
what's that big thing that you're trying to get done in your life
259
and then break it down to what you need to do today to get there.
260
The biggest mistake that a lot of founders make though is that they view consistency as a daily grind
261
when it is the consistent actions that you take daily that really create the person you're trying to become.
262
Discipline builds momentum, but leverage builds freedom.
263
And when you combine both,
264
you stop working for your consistency and your consistency starts working for you.
265
I went and created a comprehensive guide called Consistency OS.
266
So in the next 30 days,
267
you could go and master consistency in your life and business.
268
If you're interested in going and checking that out,
269

270
It's a free guide that's going to help you,
271
your team become way more consistent day after day.

Perché praticare il parlato con questo video?
Praticare il parlato con video come questo offre un'opportunità unica per imparare l'inglese con YouTube, poiché ci permette di assorbire non solo il lessico e la grammatica, ma anche il ritmo e l'intonazione della lingua. Questo video affronta il tema della coerenza e della gestione delle sfide quotidiane, risultando particolarmente utile per chi cerca di migliorare le proprie abilità comunicative in contesti variabili. L'argomento stimola la riflessione e invita a esprimere opinioni personali, creando spunti ideali per esercitarsi nel shadowing in inglese, dove è possibile imitare i suoni e le espressioni del relatore per affinare la propria pronuncia.
Grammatica & Espressioni nel Contesto
Nel video, il relatore utilizza diverse strutture grammaticali ed espressioni efficaci. Ecco alcune delle più rilevanti:
- "It's about building the right system." - Questa struttura mostra come l'uso di frasi attive possa rendere i messaggi più diretti e coinvolgenti.
- "1% better every day is 37 times better in a year." - Qui si utilizza una frase comparativa che evidenzia l'importanza dei piccoli miglioramenti quotidiani, utile per enfatizzare le idee nel parlato.
- "Embrace those small wins." - L'uso del verbo "embrace" in questo contesto suggerisce un atteggiamento positivo verso le piccole vittorie, un'espressione che si può includere nelle proprie conversazioni quotidiane.
Trappole Comuni nella Pronuncia
È importante prestare attenzione a determinate parole e accenni che possono risultare difficili da pronunciare. Alcuni di questi includono:
- "Consistency" - La pronuncia di questa parola può risultare complicata per chi non è madrelingua; prestare attenzione alle sillabe accentate può aiutare.
- "Environment" - Spesso la 'v' viene pronunciata in modo errato; esercitarsi a ripeterla negli esercizi di shadowspeak può migliorare la correttezza.
- "Compounding" - La combinazione di suoni in questa parola può essere una sfida; provare a suddividerla in sillabe durante il shadow speak è un buon metodo di apprendimento.
Utilizzare questi spunti aiuta a rafforzare le competenze nel parlare l'inglese e ad affrontare tali sfide con maggiore sicurezza. In conclusione, il shadowing site offre un mezzo efficace per migliorare la pronuncia e l'espressione orale, facilitando un approccio più naturale all'apprendimento della lingua.
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
