An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).

Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Making more friends is a goal.
What are some very specific groups of people you just cannot stand?
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
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.
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.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.

First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.

That's it for today.

What I need from you?
Do not set goals—set systems.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.

Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
“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.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Does not procrastinate.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
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.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
