1
Do you feel like you're living life on repeat, scrolling social media, stuck in bad habits and never hitting your goals?
2
Well, 10 years ago, I was making $55,000 a year, completely overwhelmed and stuck.
3
Today, I've co-founded a multimillion dollar business and truly lived the life that I once dreamed of.
4
So if you're ready to cut off the old version of yourself and build the life that you've been dreaming of, here's exactly where to start.
5
Decision, decision, decision.
6
The first and most important step to getting unstuck is to understand
7
that the old version of you doesn't exist anymore unless you choose to stay stuck.
8
You have to cut off the person that you are right now to become the person that you want to be.
9
So how do you actually do this?
10
You see, I love to look up the derivation of words and the derivation of the word decision is to cut off,
11
which means you're no longer the person that you were yesterday.
12
If you have made a decision to change, that person doesn't exist.
13
Imagine if your car got stolen, the next day you couldn't wake up, be able to use your old vehicle in order to get to where you're trying to go.
14
You'd have to come up with some different solution.
15
You'd have to take a bike.
16
You'd have to Uber.
17
Maybe you're walking.
18
You no longer have your car as your option to travel.
19
Now think about this as a decision for you to change your life.
20
If you're going to become a person who works out every single day
21
or a person who is a bad-ass at sales or somebody who reads books and is very well-read and articulate, all of a sudden, if you decide to be that person, you are no longer the person
22
that doesn't do those things person doesn't exist any longer
23
so you have to start making decisions as if you are
24
that new person because guess what you are all
25
because you made the decision now once you've made the decision let's make your environment easier
26
so if you know that you doom scroll on tick tock set a policy make it so
27
that moving forward you have your screen time locked on your
28
phone you cannot scroll on tick tock for longer than five minutes
29
when you make subtle changes like this to actually change your
30
environment you're doubling down on the decision for you not to be the old version of yourself
31
so your environment matters and the choices
32
that you need to make in order to get there really matter
33
and guess what they can be small little tweaks being a whole different version of you doesn't mean
34
that everything in your life changes but the things that matter
35
that you need to make progress on have to happen today
36
and that decision has to be now my second step to getting unstuck is to ruin myself with disappointment in me.
37
Disappointment is the wake up call that you have been avoiding.
38
Do not listen to all of those nice memes
39
and those fun TikToks that make you feel like you should accept yourself
40
and be okay with yourself the way that you are.
41
If you're disappointed because you know that you have more in you, you know that you could impact more people, you know you have this great potential and instead you're wasting it, be freaking disappointed.
42
You shouldn't feel good about yourself.
43
Why would you feel good about yourself?
44
You're not living into what is possible for you.
45
Once you know that you're unhappy with the way that your life looks, you can make that change.
46
But don't sugarcoat it.
47
Don't tell yourself lies that you should just love yourself the way that you are and give yourself a big hug.
48
Don't listen to that bullshit.
49
Be disappointed, accept the disappointment, and take action.
50
My parents used to drag me to a dinner every single year with a family friend.
51
And this family friend was very well educated, very well and incredibly successful, but I hated going to the dinner because he made me feel bad about myself.
52
The amount of news that he would read every single day would remind me that instead of reading the news, I was watching television.
53
The way that he would articulate questions
54
and his opinions would make me feel uncomfortable
55
because I realized I didn't have an opinion because I didn't even know what the frick he was talking about.
56
He was so involved in politics and what was happening in the world
57
and I realized I don't know the things that I could know
58
and that I really feel like I should know and should be part those conversations.
59
So after many years of dinners, I finally decided to stop lying to myself and take action.
60
What did I do?
61
I ordered The Economist.
62
I ordered The Wall Street Journal to show up to my house every single day.
63
And I became interested in the news.
64
I became interested in politics so that when I showed up to dinner the next year, I would actually have opinions.
65
You see, I didn't lie to myself saying that those things aren't important.
66
They were important.
67
That brings us to step three, which is to decide what you want your life to look like.
68
You cannot create the life that you want without knowing what you want.
69
If I'm totally honest, I entirely gave up on my goals for about three years.
70
I became introverted.
71
I just decided to be stuck in life because I felt really insecure, to be honest, and I was not confident,
72
and I was so terrified of what people thought of me that I just didn't want to try.
73
And I'll never forget flying to this conference, and I had said no to speaking at this conference because I was scared and I didn't feel confident.
74
But then I was sitting there in the audience realizing I'm here.
75
I could be participating.
76
I could be contributing.
77
But instead, my fear of public speaking, my fear of being seen, my fear of maybe people judging me or criticizing me is going to keep me on the sidelines.
78
And from that moment forward, I was like, I'm not going to be this person.
79
I refuse to be the person that doesn't have the life that they want.
80
And so from there, I took accountability and said, what do I want my life to look like?
81
And I wrote down all of my goals.
82
What do I want personally?
83
What do I want my fitness goals to be?
84
What do I want my family goals to be?
85
What kind of friends do I want to have?
86
Professionally, what type of mentors do I want to bring in?
87
What are the opportunities that I'd like to create?
88
And financially, how much money do I want to make?
89
What do I want to contribute to?
90
How could I make a financial impact on a charity that really matters to me?
91
Because if I'm not confident in myself today, and I don't feel like I can create the life that I want, I'm never going to create the impact that I could potentially make,
92
and I am put on this planet in order to live into my potential and I think that you are too.
93
So if you haven't done this already, I would pause this video
94
and I would take out a piece of paper
95
or maybe open up your notes app and I would write down your personal, professional, and financial five-year goals.
96
This will give you a picture of who you want to be in the future
97
so that you can decide to be that person today.
98
Step four is the most important thing you can do because you have to know for sure that you are moving forward.
99
Are you making progress daily?
100
That's how you get out of the rut of having this dream life, but actually feeling like you're making incremental progress.
101
You're seeing wins.
102
You're making a change.
103
One of my successful habits around this is to plan my day the night before.
104
I do not leave my office.
105
I do not leave my place of work
106
or go to bed without having a full breakdown of my calendar and where I'm spending my time the next day.
107
Make the plan the night before.
108
So when I'm going through my calendar, I'm looking at what appointments do I have?
109
What books am I reading?
110
What podcasts do I need to listen to?
111
How do I sprinkle in little pieces of future Natalie
112
and make those deposits today so
113
that I can actually get to those opportunities in the future because I'm well-read on these things, because I'm in the know on what's happening in the spaces that I'm interested in going into,
114
the progress you choose to make every single day is what changes things.
115
It is not these big steps.
116
It is the tiny incremental steps that you make every single day
117
that change the trajectory of your life to create the life that you've always wanted.
118
And my hack for this is to actually graph the things that are the most important to me.
119
Because if I can see on a graph that I'm getting more hours of sleep every single night, that I am working out consistently and that my muscle mass is increasing
120
or if i can see
121
that i'm actually making more money month over month all of a sudden i feel better about the growth
122
because i can see it moving up but if you aren't graphing
123
and you aren't paying attention to those movements every day you're gonna feel like you're not getting any closer
124
and you're gonna go back into your rut
125
so measuring the handful of things
126
that matter to you changes everything step five is one of my favorites
127
and i don't hear people talking about this wherever you're currently spending your time stop spending your time there.
128
If you're in a rut, the easiest way to get unstuck in your life is to get out of your house.
129
Your environment dictates the way that you feel.
130
So you're watching a video right now about how to get unstuck.
131
If you're feeling stuck, that means that you shouldn't stay in the environment where you are stuck.
132
Your environment can be the type of social media that you interact with.
133
Your environment can be the friends that you hang out with, the information that you're reading.
134
Get out of your house.
135
Get out of those places where you feel stuck and do that immediately.
136
If you're watching this in a place where you don't feel great, leave the place that you're currently in.
137
And getting out of your house is one of the most effective things.
138
When you get out of your house, it means that you have to be around other people.
139
Back when I was in college, and I would really feel caved in, I would do my homework in my bed.
140
I felt like I was just grinding and that there was no end in sight.
141
My life was always going to suck.
142
I would go and study at a Starbucks.
143
And later on, I learned that the best place to study was actually a hotel lobby
144
because you were just in a different environment.
145
It was a different groove.
146
I just felt better about myself.
147
I put on a different outfit, I made my makeup a little bit nicer, and I felt like I was in a place
148
like the places
149
that I wanted to be in the future instead of physically being in the place where I currently feel stuck.
150
So think of ways that you could change your environment.
151
If you currently study at your house, could you study in a library?
152
If you currently work in a space with a co-worker that you can't stand, could you ask your manager to move?
153
There are creative ways to change your environment, and your environment is everything.
154
Step six is to realize that entertainment disguised as education is why you're not making progress.
155
If you watch a bunch of these videos and you never do anything after them,
156
you have just substituted traditional entertainment via TikTok or Netflix with education that you're using as entertainment.
157
And I am a huge culprit of this.
158
I will never forget when I needed some motivation.
159
It was back when I was in high school.
160
I had to study for this big AP exam.
161
I was going to watch this movie about this inspirational story of this woman who had this incredible gymnastics career.
162
In my mind, I was thinking I was being productive or I was learning something, learning how to overcome and how to have grit.
163
Really, I was just being educated.
164
Back in the day, I didn't have YouTube, but today I see people doing this constantly where they will
165
just binge watch all of these videos on how to launch an effective marketing campaign, how to grow on social media, how to make more money.
166
And they feel better because instead of just watching mindless reality television, at least they're learning something, but they're not pairing the learning of something with the doing of something.
167
This can lead to you feeling like you're making progress when really you're not.
168
So here's my rule of thumb.
169
Whenever I'm watching, reading, or listening to something, I have to actually do something immediately afterwards.
170
I can't just go to the next video, to the next podcast, find the next guru.
171
You will not have a better life.
172
You will not get unstuck from your rut if you just go to Natalie's next video, although you should go to my next video, but that's not gonna really help you.
173
And I'm here to actually help you.
174
So what can you do right now that would make a change?
175
If I was you, I would take my laptop
176
or I would take my phone and I would get out of my house
177
and I would go set up shop in a coffee shop or in some awesome swanky hotel lobby.
178
That is how you implement and you make a change so that you're actually making progress instead of just being edutained.
179
Next up is number seven, which is to separate yourself from people who don't support you.
180
You can take a break from people holding you back and it doesn't have to be a breakup.
181
This is a lesson that my mom taught me.
182
She would tell me about the boyfriends that she would break up with, but they didn't know that she broke up with them.
183
And I was like, mom, how did you do this?
184
She said, I would just create slow and subtle distance.
185
Instead of having this big fight that created all this emotion, I would subtly become more
186
and more busy to the point where it just didn't make sense for us to be together any longer
187
because I already had this new life with things
188
that I was passionate about and they were still doing what they were doing before.
189
We didn't have some massive breakup, but it was obvious to both parties that there was no longer alignment.
190
This is the best way to create separation from your friends.
191
Now here's the deal with this.
192
Don't make other people wrong.
193
Don't have some big emotional blow up.
194
Just separate yourself and start being so busy working on yourself, doing things that are creating the life that you want that you no longer have the time that you used to have.
195
If you have friends who you like to party with and go out with on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights, just have other things to do that you can't move.
196
Whatever it is that you're trying to create, make time to do those things in the time
197
that you spend with people who aren't helping you get closer to your goals.
198
This is where I go back to looking at my calendar
199
and I cancel anything that is not helping me get out of the rut that I'm in.
200
There is no party that you can go to.
201
There is no lunch that you can go to.
202
There is no coffee that you can go to with your friend that is going to make you feel better about yourself.
203
Again, it's not to make them bad and it's not to make them wrong.
204
It's just to say, I no longer have time to talk about my current life
205
because I have to go do things
206
and spend time building a new version of my life
207
and I can't live my old life while building the new version of my life.
208
That brings us to our final step in getting unstuck, which is step number eight, just say no. You have to say no to anything that doesn't align with your goals.
209
I used to make up errands that I had to run.
210
Instead of spending Saturday actually learning a new skill and investing in myself to make progress, I would come up with this list of all of these things that I had to do.
211
I have to go get my nails done.
212
I have to go to Target.
213
I have to eat lunch.
214
I just created all of these things that I had to do when really I didn't have to do any of them.
215
So sometimes saying no isn't saying no to somebody else.
216
It's actually saying no to the habits and the routines and the things that you tell yourself you have to do,
217
but they're really distractions just taking you away from the things that you actually have to do.
218
If you're not making progress on the real things that you need to do, you have to reevaluate the things that you have to do and start saying no to yourself.
219
If you're ready to take this even further, watch my video on how to create your dream life and start making it a reality.

Tại sao nên thực hành nói với video này?
Video này mang đến một bối cảnh tuyệt vời để thực hành nói tiếng Anh. Người nói chia sẻ câu chuyện của mình từ một cuộc sống đầy bế tắc đến thành công, giúp bạn lĩnh hội được thông điệp về quyết định và sự phát triển cá nhân. Khi bạn lắng nghe và nhắc lại những câu nói trong video, bạn không chỉ cải thiện khả năng phát âm mà còn hiểu sâu hơn về cách diễn đạt cảm xúc và suy nghĩ trong tiếng Anh. Thực hành shadowing với video này có thể giúp bạn nhận biết cách sử dụng ngữ điệu và nhấn mạnh trong giao tiếp, từ đó nâng cao kỹ năng nói của bạn.
Ngữ pháp & Biểu thức trong ngữ cảnh
- “If you have made a decision to change”: Câu này sử dụng cấu trúc điều kiện, giúp bạn hiểu cách diễn đạt ý tưởng về sự thay đổi. Từ đây, bạn có thể tạo ra những câu điều kiện tương tự để thể hiện mong muốn của bản thân.
- “You have to cut off the person that you are right now”: Cách sử dụng “have to” thể hiện sự bắt buộc, làm nổi bật tầm quan trọng của quyết định trong cuộc sống. Học cách sử dụng “have to” sẽ làm cho câu nói của bạn mạnh mẽ hơn.
- “You are no longer the person that you were yesterday”: Việc sử dụng thì hiện tại hoàn thành giúp bạn nhấn mạnh sự chuyển biến trong bản thân. Điều này rất hữu ích trong việc chia sẻ về tiến trình và những thay đổi mà bạn đã thực hiện.
- “You’re wasting it”: Câu này là một ví dụ điển hình về cách sử dụng ngữ điệu để thể hiện sự thất vọng. Đây là một kỹ thuật cần thiết khi bạn muốn diễn đạt cảm xúc chân thành.
Những cạm bẫy phát âm phổ biến
Khi thực hành nói theo video này, bạn có thể gặp một số từ hoặc cụm từ khó phát âm. Một ví dụ là từ “decision”, thường dễ bị nhầm lẫn trong âm tiết. Hãy chú ý đến cách nhấn mạnh âm tiết đầu tiên để từ này được phát âm rõ ràng hơn. Hơn nữa, người nói cũng sử dụng âm điệu khá nhanh, do đó, việc luyện tập shadow speech với phần mềm shadowing sẽ giúp bạn bắt kịp nhịp điệu nói và cải thiện khả năng nghe hiểu. Đừng quên rằng việc nâng cao khả năng phát âm không chỉ giúp cuộc trò chuyện trở nên tự nhiên hơn, mà còn giúp bạn tự tin hơn khi giao tiếp trong tiếng Anh.
Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
