An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Living to your full potential is a goal.
In 5 years, YOU will still be the one making decisions. And if you keep your current habits, "YOU 2.0" will have big problems.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Procrastinates a lot.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?

Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Does not procrastinate.
Porn blockers might help, but they won’t be as effective. And you know nudity isn’t just on Pornhub—it’s everywhere. Don’t joke with fire.
Why does my ex boyfriend do this?
What I need from you?
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
What is your craziest college sex story?
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Why do men cheat on their wives with someone extremely unattractive?
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
“YOU 2.0” is like your future kid. It’s your duty to make decisions for him. It is wiser to marry a nice mom for your kid, not just a beautiful wife for yourself.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.

Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
If you received hand-me-downs as a child, how did they make you feel?
Making more friends is a goal.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
PICK 1 important thing you want to quit or bring into your life in 2025. Think hard about a system that will make it impossible or inevitable.

Losing 20kg is a goal.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Keep in mind that, there is always a system for any problem. You just need to be willing to think hard enough and BE WILLING TO MAKE SACRIFICES.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Cutting off WiFi at home for a month or giving your phone to a distant friend for a month (in exchange for a Nokia or simply nothing) is a system.
Why is going on a date today so much different than it was when I was young?
That's it for today.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
