How does one succeed in life?

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Does not procrastinate.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
If you got to make your own K-pop year-end awards show for 2024, who would win?
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
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.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:

That's it for today.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.

Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Ask yourself:
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Hangs out with loser friends.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Procrastinates a lot.
How long does it typically take for prices to return to normal after tariffs are removed?
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.

What I need from you?
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.
What is the most eccentric thing you own? How did you get it?
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.

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.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
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.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
How did you react when your doctor ordered a colonoscopy?
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Making more friends is a goal.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
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.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
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.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
