1
You're using the excuse of passion to disguise your inability to tolerate hardness.
2
One of the early lessons that I wish someone had told me, and I want to transfer it to you now, is that when you start, you will be cringey as fuck.
3
You will be awkward, you will be weird, people will look at you, the people you're friends with, people you're dating, hopefully not for long,
4
will make you feel like you're being not cool.
5
And the reality is they're right.
6
Because when you start, you will suck and you will have no reputation, you will have no track record.
7
And is that a reason to not do it?
8
If you're a loser, yes.
9
Because it means that you care more about their disappointment in you than your own disappointment in you.
10
Why don't you do your passion?
11
Because if you did your passion, you wouldn't work another day in your life.
12
And it's just a very simplistic and inaccurate view of the world.
13
There's only one way that you will truly be able to only do your passion.
14
It means that you would only do this very narrow thing, right?
15
For me at the time was training more advanced athletes who liked powerlifting
16
and had the same work capacity and schedule as me, who were willing to pay me tons of money to do it, right?
17
In order to get those people, you have to do a lot of stuff that is not
18
that to get them the vast majority of your time will not be anything that you're passionate about.
19
And if that's the case, even when you're pursuing your passion, and I'm saying this as someone who's gone full cycle with this, I now have a gym that has no memberships and it is not for profit.
20
And I'm saying this, that it is okay to make money doing one thing and be passionate about another.
21
You don't even know how much you can work.
22
Like you think you know how much you can work until you like really, really work.
23
but what's interesting is that like
24
if you work a hundred times harder you can sometimes get like a million times the payout
25
and so like the the top end of work still has disproportionate payoffs
26
and so i don't even i don't even like there are diminishing returns
27
but there's a point where you actually get like outsized returns for the effort
28
because like if you think about it from like a olympic racing perspective like
29
if i work you know 10 times more than everybody else does
30
but i get gold and the next guy gets silver the difference between gold and silver and running is everything
31
even though it's the tenth of a second.
32
And so from an absolute perspective, there's diminishing returns.
33
But from a relative perspective, I think you have exponential returns from being the best.
34
The difference between number one and number two can be Uber and Lyft.
35
The difference is 10x.
36
I looked at the first presentation I ever gave, and it's embarrassing.
37
I mean, it's truly embarrassing.
38
I think it has 19 slides with four bullets on each slide.
39
I remember thinking, man, I spend a lot of time on this.
40
And a lot of time to me back then was like, I spend a day on it.
41
The reason I'm making this is that most of the shit sucks, even if it starts as something you love.
42
The passion is a very bad judgment filter.
43
Everything within a business, especially if you're the owner,
44
will suck because business is a funneling mechanism of the hardest and worst problems related to the thing that you supposedly love.
45
Elon Musk talks about this where he says, there are problems that are too hard for anyone else to solve
46
or problems that are too painful that no one else either can't solve or they don't want to solve it.
47
I feel like it's easier to get that emotion that you like feeling from ambition, from watching other people, rather than having to do it yourself.
48
You continuously are consuming someone else rather than yourself doing something.
49
You can almost just get away with that quick fake dopamine hit that you get.
50
And I feel like people lie to themselves that doing nothing
51
is better than doing something bad or doing nothing is better than failing
52
because failing is terrifying and then in doing the nothing they watch other people do it
53
so they can at least kind of like keep alive to themselves.
54
Your proficiencies will take you much further than your passions.
55
Imagine this and I used to think about this a lot.
56
Imagine farmers thousands of years ago right?
57
They probably weren't passionate about rice or corn or soybeans,
58
but they felt a duty and a pride in providing.
59
And I think that we need to bring that back.
60
The idea that a man can do his duty and feel good for a job well done,
61
knowing that you did an honest day's work and that you left everything that you had in the field.
62
You have nothing left in the tank.
63
Chris Rock has a great saying.
64
He says, follow your dreams if they're hiring.
65
And so you have to embrace how much it will suck and put yourself in no fail situations.
66
A big part of why I even think I was able to stick with the gym business after realizing
67
that I no longer spent almost any of my time doing the thing I was passionate about
68
was because I couldn't get out of the lease.
69
And all my net worth was in there.
70
And so there was nothing else I could do.
71
And so I had to make it work.
72
And I think that a little moniker that I have is just count in hundreds.
73
It's like, how many hundreds of hours did you spend on something?
74
Because when you start counting in hundreds, the depth of understanding of something goes to such a large degree.
75
And it's like if I were to tell someone to edit a video, like a short clip, and I said, hey, edit this clip in 30 minutes and give it back to me.
76
And they give it back to me.
77
I'm like, okay, I'm not going to edit it yet.
78
If I give you another 30 minutes, could you make it better?
79
And they're usually like, I can make it better another 30.
80
So I give it back to him.
81
Like, give it back to me another 30.
82
He gives back to me another 30.
83
And I say, okay, if I give you two more hours, do you think you'd make it better?
84
There's a point to this.
85
Yep.
86
He's like, yeah, I think I'd make it better.
87
Comes back to me.
88
I say, okay, what if I gave you two weeks?
89
And so a huge amount of success really comes down to just executing day in and day out
90
and solving problems intelligently and making decisions that are harder short-term
91
and easier long-term and sitting in the discomfort of unsolved problems that aren't the biggest problems of the day.
92
That is how you grow a business.
93
And so your passion likely won't get you very far.
94
It's not true.
95
Pursue your passion is only true in the vague and never in the specific.
96
When you actually play it out, when you stop just believing the bullshit saying and just think, what does this really mean?
97
It doesn't pencil and I only say this as somebody who fucking went all the way with it.
98
The amount of time, sure work does expand to the amount of time that you allow it,
99
but I deem work done when there's nothing else that I can do to make it better.
100
That there's nothing else that I know of that I can make this better.
101
I've been thinking a lot lately about how we live in an age of distraction
102
and how people genuinely spend more time Looking at a screen than thinking about their own reality.
103
They always make excuses like I don't have time I'll start
104
next week Sometimes you don't even have the ability to make excuses
105
because you're too consumed in distraction to even know what you're
106
not Doing with your life odds are you're probably no different
107
You've probably known exactly what you need to do for years
108
and odds are things probably aren't going to change unless you
109
can actually fix the root cause The dream is really easy to love when it hasn't cost you anything yet.
110
And before you've taken action, it hasn't cost you anything.
111
I don't even think it's necessary that people are lazy.
112
I just think they're addicted to the idea of potential.
113
Because it's super easy to sit there and say, I have the potential to do it, but I just haven't done it yet.
114
Versus, no, I tried and I failed because I'm not good enough to do that.
115
That's a fucking gut punch right there.
116
And so you have this idea, I'm going to pursue what I'm passionate about.
117
I'm going to paint paintings all day.
118
But even then, quickly, you're going to be outpaced by the amount of paintings
119
that you probably produce and so i said there's only one way
120
that you can truly do the passion is
121
that you do not scale you choose to paint your painting
122
you choose to make your wallets you choose to do your level of consulting
123
or whatever it is and you only do the amount
124
that you feel like doing and you only do it
125
when you feel like doing it and you're so good at doing
126
that that people come and spend more and more money with you
127
and you just increase your prices that is the only way
128
that i can conceive someone would actually purely do only what they're passionate about and still be able to make a living.
129
I can't take anything else out and I can't add anything to it
130
and I can't make anything clear
131
and I've written this whole thing in a third grade reading level
132
and I've added a hundred and six hand-drawn images into this.
133
There's nothing else I can do and if it does not succeed, that's fine.
134
Yeah.
135
But it will not be for lack of effort.
136
And that makes sense.
137
It's just difficult because you will be in the minority.
138
And most of your life, most of our lives as humans, we are taught to do what the pack does.
139
The whole class gets in line, you get in line, right?
140
If the whole class gets up to leave the class, you leave class.
141
The whole class goes to lunch, you go to lunch, you go to recess, right?
142
You do everything together.
143
Being the outman now is not fun.
144
It's outgroup.
145
It literally was a survival mechanism.
146
But you have to go against that very hardwiring to become the man
147
or woman that I think you ultimately want to be.
148
Or at least for me.
149
That's what I had to do.
150
You just started.
151
Of course you're not good.
152
How do you think anyone gets good?
153
You suck for a long time.
154
And you get a little bit better.
155
Until you suck so little that you're actually good.
156
And that sucking period, slow down, takes a long time.
157
It takes a long time to get through that.
158
And that is frustration tolerance.
159
How many times can you do the same thing without reward, without reinforcement, and keep going?
160
That is the hard part because it's very difficult to observe that.
161
If I believe I'm capable of that, well, then in my fucking position right now, looking back at the last five years of my life, we're like, what the fuck was I doing?
162
I just wasted all that fucking time doing nothing.
163
But unless you can look at that reality and use guilt as feedback to push yourself forward rather than the
164
Shame as identity as you can't do it You're gonna be stuck.
165
So you got to realize you're capable of way much than you fucking know You're just afraid to admit it.
166
That's gonna suck.
167
It's gonna hurt It's gonna be embarrassing to look back at your life
168
But you need to be able to sit in that embarrassment
169
and look at yourself I am embarrassed of who I used to be that's why I'm not gonna be
170
that person anymore It's time for me to fucking change my life and actually take action.
171
Until someone physically restrains you from working, you can keep going.
172
The vast majority of people stop because of perceived failure in their mind.
173
And I love this quote by Jocko Willick.
174
He said, all failure besides death is psychological.
175
It's literally made up stakes with made up goal lines that we decide that we fell short of.
176
But we were the ones who decided where to draw the line.
177
And so to the same degree to
178
that young man who quit sales early in the career because he wanted to find something he's passionate about.
179
The reality is that it doesn't matter what path he chooses to take.
180
All of them will include tons of stuff that he will hate doing
181
and that he will have to keep doing for extended periods of time.
182
And that in the pain of having to do these repeated things that you are not enjoying, what do you think you do?
183
You try and figure out better ways to do them so that you hate them less.
184
And what do you think that is?
185
It's called getting better.
186
Has so much pain between where you are and where you want to go that you trying to say, I only want to do the thing I'm passionate about is a weak excuse.
187
It will not get you through it because that is where people fall off is where it gets boring.
188
Not even hard.
189
It's where you do the same thing over and over and over again.
190
And you want to go nuts because you're like, I can't read the script again.
191
I can't make yet another ad.
192
And you have to learn to suffer for something that you deem worth suffering for.
193
And I don't know of anything more valuable to suffer for than the person that you ultimately want to become,
194
the man that you want to become, the woman that you want to become.
195
And when I think about that man, I think about how much suffering would that man have to go through to become the person that I envision.
196
If you could do one thing, literally tonight, sit down and define your future self, or if you can't think of yourself like that,
197
define like your ideal man of the person who could achieve the goals that you want to do.
198
What is he working towards and how does he act?
199
What are his values, his belief systems?
200
define what this man is and then define what he's capable of.
201
And if you go through all that stuff and you read it, you might be getting jacked up creating this character in your
202
mind you're like he could accomplish even more than I could have thought
203
that I wanted to accomplish if he did these things
204
well they start doing those things in your day it could
205
be the smallest things like I said earlier as he's skipping
206
the gym sleeping in late eating shitty food all these things probably not
207
so define what this person's values are and then take action on it
208
if you take one thing I would say at least to do that process, experiment, whatever you would want to call it.
209
Take action first or believe you can first
210
because it's hard to take action when you don't believe you can but you don't believe you can until you take action.
211
So it's like a chicken or the egg scenario.
212
The reality is that you have to want to be bad.
213
You have to switch your mindset of like oh this is
214
embarrassing to no I actually want to be bad at this because being bad at some things means I'm taking action.
215
You can't be bad at something you're not doing.
216
Sitting on the couch doesn't mean you're bad at, Doesn't show you that you're bad at tennis.
217
You have to get on the court and try
218
and play tennis to be bad at tennis But from that point of action, you're at least at a starting point
219
which allows for progress We will do the things that we are reinforced for doing now many people
220
Conflate that idea with we will do the things that we were awarded for No, we will do the things that we were reinforced for doing.
221
Let me explain if I said I have to Shock you you probably say this is a punishing event.
222
Okay, what if I then said your family, your wife, kids, are on the other side of the wall.
223
Every shock that you take, they don't have to take.
224
Are you going to take another shock?
225
Yes.
226
Why?
227
Because it's a reinforcing event.
228
So that's how something negative can still be something positive.
229
Let's flip it differently.
230
If I said for every one of these shocks, you get a million dollars.
231
You'd probably be pretty down to take some shocks, right?
232
Interestingly though, your willingness to take shocks over time would go down because the reinforcing event would need more variety.
233
Most people do not have a stable sense of self-worth so they attach it to things around themselves,
234
myself included, done this my whole life working on it still.
235
But when you attach your self-worth to something you are working on then that failure feels like your self-worth is diminished.
236
So when people don't have that stable sense of self-worth they're much more afraid to actually go out and take action.
237
The skill deficiency that you might have and
238
that this young man might have that many people have is something called frustration tolerance.
239
It's the number of times that you can be rejected and try again.
240
And here's the best part.
241
It's learnable, which means it's a skill.
242
But what I do know is that every single one of those paths you can be successful on.
243
I also know that every single one of those paths will suck and will take longer than you expect they will.
244
And I also know that every single winner that I have ever spoken to, I can see in them that they have one thing, which is that they will just keep fucking going.
245
They will not know what's going to happen next, and they will keep going.
246
They will fail, and they will try again.
247
And there's something incredibly dangerous about being the type of man that no matter what happens,
248
your competitors know that you will not stop because there's literally nothing they can do unless you get killed.
249
Besides that, they know that you're going to get up and try again.
250
And when you try that many times for the rest of your life on one thing, you tend to get pretty fucking good at it.
251
Is this person's opinion of how I live my life
252
going to be the most important thing that I spend the next 80 years listening to?
253
If the answer is yes, then I mean, more power to you.
254
But I don't know about you, I wouldn't want the one voice
255
that I'm listening to for the rest of my life be some random dude
256
that I worked with Or my uncle that said something
257
or my dad or my mom or your sister Whatever
258
because the only real voice that you actually have to listen to that's not made up is yours
259
You need frustration tolerance
260
Sitting in the unknown with the confidence that you will continue to try because it is solvable
261
even though you don't know how to solve it yet.
262
It just comes down to that.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
