Also surprising that it is, these are the little things that make you have very great results.
2
Today I will share 17 habits that you can implement right now and that will allow you to make it in 2025.
3
But before we start, hi besties and welcome to a new episode.
4
If this episode you please, don't hesitate to subscribe to the channel and put a little bit of a button in the air, it supports the content and it allows you to share even more.
5
Especially that there is no collaboration, no sponsor, It's really for sharing.
6
So the best way to me soutenir is to put a little like
7
or a little 5 stars on the podcast that you use.
8
The first habit that you need to take is to use social media to 60% to form and 40% to divert you.
9
It's important that you train your algorithm to submit your good videos and interesting videos.
10
I know, I'm like you.
11
There are times I have to look at my TikTok
12
and I don't want to show you things where I don't
13
need to think de réfléchir des jolis paysages des nanas qui
14
essayent de nouveaux vêtements etc sauf que si tu n'as que
15
ça sur ton compte les réseaux sociaux ça servira à rien
16
et ça t'apportera rien alors que littéralement c'est une mine d'or
17
et ça peut transformer ta vie c'est donc important que quand
18
tu tombes sur des vidéos qui certes vont te demander un
19
petit peu plus de concentration et qui vont apporter moins de
20
fennes tu prennes le temps de regarder parce que si tu
21
prends le temps de les regarder l'algorithme va t'en soumettre plus et donc tu auras un algorithme
22
but who will be able to give you a little bit of diversification, but also who will give you knowledge, knowledge, knowledge, knowledge, information.
23
And what will allow you to be always at the page, but also to learn new things, to develop, to open your mind and why not to make new opportunities.
24
It's the same thing with YouTube, it's the same thing with Instagram.
25
You have to follow people who will inspire you.
26
For example, I'll have Alex, Leila Ormodi, I'll have Cody Sanchez, which are people who inspire me.
27
But I'll also have other people, so I don't have their names in the head, but those girls who are going to wear their clothes, etc. So I have a mix of content, and when I'm connected on social media,
28
it's not only things futiles, but it's also things useful, which will bring me nourish, and will allow me to get educated.
29
On me often asked how are you aware of all the last information, of the market, etc. It's just because I train my algorithm.
30
I often watch videos where we talk about news, I often watch videos where we talk about finance, and so, after there is a new thing about finance,
31
my algorithm will submit it.
32
The second habit that you have to take is to reduce your decision fatigue.
33
Decision fatigue, what is the principle of having to take decisions constantly?
34
It's to know how to get dressed in the morning, what's going to eat in the morning, the midi, the evening.
35
All these small decisions that, in fact, they take the space mental
36
and make it less space for focusing on things that have a real impact in our lives.
37
That's why we will have, for example, Mark Zuckerberg, who will always put a shirt green with a shirt, a jeans generally.
38
It's because he will always have the same way to avoid having to think about it.
39
Things that I can implement in my daily life, it's, for example, to eat the same little dinner or the same dinner.
40
I'm not going to ask the question every day of what I eat.
41
non mais si je devais faire ça, attends mais j'ai oublié ça donc faut que je descende au supermarché.
42
Non, ça prend trop de temps dans ta journée et trop
43
de temps qui a beaucoup trop de valeur par rapport à ce que tu pourrais faire avec ce temps.
44
Donc pour éviter d'utiliser ce temps pour des choses qui n'ont pas réellement de conséquences, eh bien c'est prendre des habitudes qui vont être totalement automatisées
45
et te permettre soit d'avoir un peu plus de temps pour être avec tes proches et être vraiment présent, soit avoir en fait un peu plus de temps pour travailler,
46
te développer, etc. The third habit that you have to take is to learn a new thing about the money every week.
47
It can be on the development of business, it can be on the investment in bourse, it can be on the investment in the immobilier.
48
Take the time every week to watch at least one video which is a little bit long, we will say a video YouTube, not a video on TikTok,
49
but a video a little long which will really allow you to expand a subject and allow you to gain more money, to make you more money, to make you more money,
50
to invest your money, etc. It's super important and if you do it every week, every week you will acquire new knowledge,
51
you will surely not all implement it, but as soon as you will have more content and you will be more educated,
52
you will implement more things concerning your money and how to make your money fructify your money.
53
And so, to cultivate your knowledge and your financial education will allow automatically to enrich your life.
54
L'habitude suivante c'est d'habituer ton cerveau à se dépasser.
55
En fait naturellement notre cerveau, et ça ça vient de notre évolution, va toujours vouloir rester dans sa zone de confort et éviter au maximum de se mettre en danger.
56
De ce fait, eh bien il va pas vouloir toujours pousser, aller plus loin, faire plus d'efforts.
57
Et c'est pour ça que le sport, et notamment aller à la salle de sport, donc faire de la musculation,
58
est excellent pour apprendre à son cerveau à se dépasser.
59
Why?
60
Because every week, for example, on a big exercise of the legs, etc. You can put 0,5 kg, 1 kg more.
61
And in fact, the fact of knowing that you can do more
62
will teach your brain that you can surpass your brain and that in a way of abdominal.
63
And so it envies a positive signal about the effort and about the capacity that your brain and your brain can have.
64
Because your brain, he, he considers your mental skills and physical skills the same way in his mechanism.
65
And so, training your brain to pass it physically allows you to send this message to your brain to pass it mentally.
66
And so, having less fear of discussing issues of asking questions, of asking questions, where you don't have the knowledge, de manière mentale et donc avoir moins peur d'aborder des sujets
67
qui sont inconnus de poser des questions de se mettre dans
68
des situations un petit peu inconfortables où on n'a pas forcément
69
les connaissances les savoirs etc et du coup de manière générale
70
se dépasser sur tous les aspects autant mental que physique chaque
71
semaine mais c'est très bien de commencer par le sport parce
72
que tu vas en fait te prouver à toi-même que tu
73
es capable de faire mieux et mieux et mieux et d'ailleurs ça vient à mon point suivant
74
which is to pass action for confidence in you.
75
You will ask me how it's possible because I don't trust in me, I'll pass to action.
76
Yes.
77
What you need to know is that there are many people who pass to action but who don't feel confident.
78
Having fear, not being sure of their capabilities, not being sure of the result, it doesn't mean that you don't have to do the action.
79
It just means that there are many of you and that you have to face to this.
80
And that naturally, the reaction of your brain and your body, It's stress and not to have confidence.
81
But it doesn't mean that you don't need to go in this direction.
82
And in fact, the fact of doing it will give you confidence because you will prove to you-même that you are capable.
83
For example, when I started social media and videos, I had no idea that I could have 157,000 followers on Instagram.
84
Now, I have confidence that I can do it because I do it.
85
And I do it in a way repetitious.
86
I create now every day videos, I do three posts per day.
87
And so, I have much more confidence in my capacity to create videos, to create videos that are interesting, to create a community Instagram,
88
than there was three and a half years ago
89
where I had no knowledge about that and even I didn't pass much time on social media.
90
And so, the fact of doing and having results will prove
91
that you are capable of doing certain things and
92
so you will take more and more confidence in you
93
because you will have the proof that you are capable of doing certain things and that even if you fear, you can have a result.
94
And that, it will give you confidence.
95
The other habit is to focus on yourself and not on others.
96
You can read books that will tell you to meet and you to meet people, ambitious people who do entrepreneurship,
97
etc. The reality is that when you start, it's on you that you need to focus.
98
It doesn't work to talk to 15000 people, to talk to your life and tell your life, and what you do to 15000 people, it's not the moment.
99
You will be more advanced, whether in your career or investments, you will be more stable.
100
When you start a business,
101
whether in a career, etc. What you need to focus on your work and the fact of you to form,
102
so the fact of you as a person.
103
It will not serve you to meet people, to talk about the pluies and the beau temps, and to eat little food in thinking, but I'm doing networking.
104
I read it in the book The Road to the Millionaire, it's important.
105
No, the reality, it will not serve as a result.
106
It's not that it will give you the results.
107
What it will give you the results, it's to acquire more knowledge, to do more, to do more action.
108
What makes me better at doing videos today, it's not because I asked 15,000 creators of content how they would make their videos, and if they would be friends with me.
109
It's because I've done, I have done hundreds of thousands of videos and in many different formats.
110
I made them, I made them, I analyzed many videos of many creators and I looked at how I could improve my camera, my makeup, everything.
111
It's important and it's what I would give them results.
112
It's not to make a couple of friends with Lena situation, for example.
113
It's not that, in reality, that will give you results.
114
va donner les résultats c'est mettre l'effort mettre le travail et
115
de concentrer sur toi rien d'autre l'autre habitude que tu dois
116
mettre en place c'est de donner minimum trois mois pour tester
117
une nouvelle habitude ou pour tester un nouveau projet n'a beaucoup
118
trop tendance à échouer au bout de même pas un mois
119
même pas un mois c'est genre quatre semaines en quatre semaines
120
tu as à peine le temps de maîtriser un sujet t'es
121
genre totalement novice donc comment est-ce que tu pourrais avoir des résultats et être déjà bon ?
122
Il faut tester au minimum trois mois et voir plus.
123
Quand tu es accompagné, au bout de trois mois tu peux commencer à avoir des résultats.
124
Quand tu commences seul, ça va prendre beaucoup plus de temps.
125
Je pense que si par exemple j'avais vraiment fait une formation sur la création de contenu etc,
126
une très bonne formation, j'aurais pu avoir des résultats peut-être au bout de trois mois, six mois.
127
En réalité ça m'a pris bien un an et demi before having results, also because I was autodidacted.
128
And it's always that, the thing about formations, we often say, but it serves as what also, as a formation?
129
We can always find out on social media.
130
The reality is that there are so many information now that you can tromper, have a bad advice.
131
There are many advice that are surface and that they are not necessarily in deep depth.
132
You have to search, you have to tromper, make mistakes, rebondir, repair your mistakes, etc. So it takes a lot more time.
133
The reality at the time I had not necessarily...
134
I had already bought a lot of formats, I had already bought a super, but I didn't have any found on the content that was really good.
135
Because honestly it's very specific and most of the formations on the content are not so cool.
136
So at the time I didn't have any found, but I learned, it was done, I accepted to take the time, but it had to be done for a while, for a while, for a while,
137
I didn't have any results.
138
So if you have perseverance and you are ready to continue even if you have no results, go ahead, otherwise you will take the way faster and take the people who will be training,
139
so with the training, coaches, etc. to take the way the most fast.
140
But it will still be at least three to six months.
141
The habit that you have to take also from now is to pass to action even if you are not ready.
142
On the whole time, you will never be ready for having a child.
143
You can almost take this citation for everything.
144
You will never be ready to create an entrepreneur you will never be prepared to invest, you will never be prepared.
145
In fact, you will never be prepared at each time, because we always fear of making a mistake, we always fear of not knowing,
146
of not knowing information, of making a mistake, of not having results.
147
The reality is that, well, already, practically everything is rattrapable, okay.
148
We can do things little by little, take some time, and there is a moment where you have to do it.
149
There is only like that you have to do results if you don't do anything, you don't have a result.
150
And so, it's the same thing with the child, where you say you're never ready to have a child, but in any way, when he is there, you're trying to find a way to do it.
151
So, it's the same thing here.
152
It's to say, of course, if you can inform you as much as possible, like when it's the arrival of an child, reading books on how to eat an child,
153
how to eat plenty of books on education, etc. You can inform you as much as to, to have the most knowledge,
154
the return of experience possible.
155
But it is possible that you don't feel like you don't feel like you're not prepared.
156
And it's pretty normal.
157
And it's that for all the issues that we ignore and that are new for us.
158
But it doesn't mean to say, again, that you don't want to be able to do it.
159
The habit that you need to take is the gratitude.
160
The gratitude is actually being recognized for what you're around.
161
I can assure you that the mornings where I don't do my gratitude
162
and that I'm going direct to work because I'm in the rush or I need to do more things, in my day, I don't pass the same day.
163
In fact, when you start the day in being recognized of everything you have, of everything you do, of everything you do, of everything you accomplish, you don't take the same day.
164
And in fact, the fact of taking the time to be aware of what you're around, it allows you to keep this state of consciousness and also this inner self-being.
165
Because in fact, the fact of putting in a state of gratitude is to make your state of joy
166
and the inner self-being.
167
It makes you spend a better day and also allows you to have a lot more clarity on the vision, the opportunities, the exchanges that you can have, the person that you will meet,
168
because you are in a positive state, an open state.
169
So it's really a very powerful tool on our level of well-being, our level of stress, so it really makes it really low, and also our level of open source on all the opportunities
170
that we surround and being aware of all the things that we have.
171
The next step is to create a budget.
172
As simple as it may appear, the most people have no budget.
173
It's to say, there's the money that arrives on the account, you're a little bit paying by this, and the end of the month, it's a little bit of a galactic because you don't have anything to manage.
174
I can assure you that you take 2-3 hours, you look at a little bit of your expenses, you look at the fixed charges that you have to pay every month, you make your budget for that,
175
you look at how much you need for the shorties, the pleasures, the vêtements, etc. You make your budget for that.
176
You look at what remains and you make sure to have at least 10%
177
These 10% from the beginning of the month you put on your investment
178
or your payback of precautions like
179
that you build your solidity financial You put on a other account all the charges fixes etc. that you must pay
180
and you keep what is inside for the shorties, the pleasures, the expenses of daily I can assure you
181
that you make a simple budget that
182
that Of course there are some more complex and more elaborate
183
but there we are not even talking about the base for having a financial health, to be able to make sure and to assure what you have to assure.
184
You are on that and I can assure you
185
that you will be in a better situation financial situation and that you will enrich you much more than in saying well, we will see what happens and then if there is nothing, there is nothing.
186
The life is not like that.
187
If you lose your job and there is nothing, there is nothing, I can assure you that you will be able to do something with your own account.
188
If you have a difficult moment, you have a car who is in pain, I can assure you that you would like to be a very good thing on your account.
189
There is a moment where you have to take responsibility.
190
And to take responsibility, it starts on the basis, so simple, that to create a budget.
191
Really, when I say that, it's not for embarrassing or to give lessons.
192
I say that in a negative way.
193
I say that really because I think in the deepest part of my heart
194
that if everyone had a budget and made sure to take their budget, and separate your accounts between what I can use,
195
what I want to keep in my future, and what I want to make for ensuring the charges fixed,
196
everyone would be in a better situation financially.
197
And I am the first to be able to tell you of that, because when I started working, the first months where I had my salary,
198
and that I had been super frustrated during years when I was an student, that I could hardly buy anything, that I had very few possibilities of making fun,
199
to make sure everything was very calculated.
200
When I had my first salary, I had no idea, it was all to spend.
201
But I realized that it was very fast.
202
So, there was a moment where I had to put a little barriers and get a little bit of it.
203
And since the day I did that, I continued to make fun.
204
But on the other hand, I started to really enrich myself.
205
The habit of getting a training for parents.
206
The first year where I stopped working, I thought, it was good, I stopped the university.
207
It's a little bit of learning, I'm going to do it.
208
I was going to realize that I was a little frustrated of no longer learning.
209
I was thinking, wait, I don't want to learn until the end of my life.
210
It's a little bizarre.
211
Like if we had no longer learning, we had all learned.
212
And the second thing is that I was going to realize that in learning, it's like that we could acquire more value, more knowledge, and so, to enrich,
213
to have promotions in jobs and in the businesses, and potentially create other activities and in fact, be more conscious of the world that we are around and therefore, be able to raise more opportunities.
214
The other habit is to be able to eat well.
215
I don't talk about eating chocolate, etc. because of fact, eating chocolate at a small dose is very good, but to make sure to have an alimentation that is the best for our body,
216
the most digested, that is the most nutritious possible, and in the same time, course, who we make pleasure.
217
There are plenty of studies that show that.
218
And the other day, I tried to experiment it because it's true that now I eat at maximum
219
without gluten and then without lactose, simply because I have an intolerance.
220
And in fact, the other day, I was going to do a brunch.
221
And so, the brunch, it's literally only that lactose and gluten because you eat a lot of pâtisseries, you eat a lot of fromage, well, in the meantime.
222
And of course, I had a pain in the stomach And especially, I was super fatigued at 13h.
223
I was sleeping well at night.
224
At 13h, I was working on my desk.
225
And I was like, I would like to do a nap.
226
What was it?
227
It was my digestion.
228
It never makes it that.
229
When I eat rice, cheese, with the oil of cocoa.
230
When I eat salad, when I eat poulet.
231
When I eat my avoine.
232
It never makes it that.
233
It's just because it's a digestion
234
which is much better assimilable by the body qui fatigue beaucoup
235
moins le corps à digérer et du coup qui va au contraire me donner de l'énergie.
236
Et donc littéralement, si tu as une baisse d'énergie et que tu as envie de dormir, tu vas comprendre beaucoup moins que si tu n'as pas ce coup de barre,
237
tu vas être beaucoup plus performant dans ton travail et du coup forcément pouvoir faire beaucoup plus de choses.
238
L'autre habitude, c'est de faire les tâches les plus simples possibles les plus tard le soir.
239
Je te prends un exemple, se laver les cheveux, aller chez le docteur.
240
It's something where you don't need to be super focused, you don't need to have a lot of energy.
241
You can just be in the mood of tranquilou, relax, etc. And so I do a way to do it the most possible possible,
242
which is the moment for me where I'm the most opérationnelle, the most fatigued.
243
And so I can use really the hours of my day where I have energy, etc. To do things that will really bring me to impact and have an impact on my life.
244
And where I can also bring up value, etc. And so I'm going to put all these rendezvous here.
245
Here we have the chance we can go to the doctor even at 20 hours.
246
So at Paris it's possible also.
247
But I'm going to do that always in the end of the day.
248
And I'm really using my journey to work and advance on my projects.
249
Of course if you're someone who has energy the evening, it's the opposite.
250
The next step is to take a minimum time for a week to isolate.
251
About two hours.
252
Or if possible, go to a cafe where there's not necessarily people that you know or if it's at home, having a moment where no one of your family is there.
253
Why?
254
Because you will feel like a shock.
255
It's like if you had no need to think about these people, how they are, if they have so much, if they have a lot of food, etc. Or even what they are trying to do, it doesn't matter.
256
In fact, you will release an space mental and also you will focus on yourself.
257
And it allows you to have a lot more ideas, creativity, and to be much clearer in fact, that it is your vision,
258
your work, etc. Because we have no one ambiance, we have no...
259
We have no one with this mental charge which is liable to the people who are around.
260
And we want to be able to feel well, to feel well, etc. And so it's good to be able to do it.
261
And I try to do it really, to have a very regular moment where I'm going to be in my body for, it can be two hours a week,
262
but there is no one at home.
263
But for example, if I make a pause, I will not be...
264
I will not be...
265
I will not talk to someone.
266
And I will stay constantly in my mind, which means that it's where I will have the most ideas.
267
It's where I will be able to develop some concepts, have new ideas for the management of the company,
268
for my investments, etc. I will, in fact, be free of the space mental.
269
Enfin, l'habitude suivante, c'est d'utiliser les transports pour t'éduquer.
270
Alors moi, ma petite habitude quand j'avais énormément de transports, c'était d'utiliser le matin pour m'éduquer.
271
Donc j'avais à peu près une heure et demie de transport le matin.
272
Donc je faisais livre audio plus vidéo éducative sur YouTube.
273
Comme ça, j'avais un peu deux types de contenu, vu que j'avais quand même beaucoup de temps de transport.
274
Et quand je rentrais le soir, c'était vidéo détente, qui parle d'autres choses, je ne sais pas, des vlogs, des make-up, etc. And in doing that, I took the habit of learning a little every day
275
and use the time where I'm in the transports to get to get up, to level up.
276
And so it allows to make an economic time
277
because most of the time you don't have to watch a video YouTube
278
or listen to an audio video to be put in your own.
279
And I think that the transports are a little bit the best place to do that.
280
And finally, the last thing is to make you clear objectives.
281
If you don't know where you go, you don't know which direction to take.
282
It's important to be super precise with your goals of short term.
283
Long term, you can have a vision which is global when we talk about 10 years.
284
But when we are on the short term, on the year, it's what I can do really on my year
285
to be able to get the results precise that I want to have.
286
I want to earn 500 euros per month.
287
I want to invest 10 000 euros in the bank.
288
I want to lose 5 kilos.
289
I want to do four sports sessions per week, I want to do one exercise by week.
290
I want to do a book by week.
291
It's important to put you on a very precise objectives.
292
That's how you will achieve it.
293
Because if it's not precise, it won't happen.
294
I would like to go on vacation with people that I love.
295
That doesn't mean anything to say.
296
But if I go on vacation with all my best friends, friends.
297

Who Is This Video For?

This video is perfect for intermediate English learners aiming to boost their speaking skills while learning practical life advice. Whether you’re prepping for IELTS speaking practice or just want to sound more confident, the conversational tone and clear structure make it ideal for english speaking practice. The topics—habits, finance, and daily routines—are relatable, so you’ll pick up useful vocabulary while staying engaged.

Words & Idioms Worth Stealing

  • "Decision fatigue": The mental exhaustion from making too many small choices. Example: "I avoid decision fatigue by eating the same breakfast daily."
  • "Mine d’or" (French, but used in English contexts): A "goldmine"—a source of great value. Example: "Social media can be a mine d’or for learning if you use it wisely."
  • "Futile": Pointless. Example: "Watching endless cat videos feels futile when I could be learning."

How to Get the Accent Right

The speaker uses a warm, conversational flow—great for practicing the shadowing technique (repeating phrases aloud as you hear them). Focus on:

  • Intonation in questions: Notice how "quoi" (though French) is emphasized, but in English, mimic the rise in "What’s the principle?"
  • Reduction of "to": "going to" becomes "gonna" in casual speech—practice saying "I’m gonna watch a video" smoothly.
  • Stress on key words: "knowledge, knowledge, knowledge" is repeated with emphasis—copy this to highlight important ideas in your own speech.

Use this video for shadowspeaks sessions: Pause, repeat, and match the rhythm. It’ll help you improve english pronunciation and sound more natural in daily conversations.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
