"You ARE What You REPEATEDLY DO!" | Dan Lok (@danthemanlok) | Top 10 Rules

speaker Jenna, a gentleman sat next to me and watching the speaker was looking at you I was looking, it's like I know there's a name. . Acquaintance. Yeah, it's just Alan Jack's Wow, and I thought no way. Yes, no way. And I said, are you Alan Jacks? He said yes. I told him: are you the one who organizes these events by inviting these letters? And I said: yes, I'm going home. That's my internal dialogue. I try to be calm, right? Because I'm a big fan Yeah, I love

what

you do, and he thought he was referring me to the event.

But yeah, yeah, you know we would do pretty good events. I said no, no, no, I study your cards here while I collect them. I tell them that I collect these letters and they were surprised because I don't think anyone had ever told them that. Okay, young 2020, someone 21 years old. My pocket handing out my copy, right? Yeah, like collecting junk mail and I was just faster. They said that I said that I said mr. Jackson Can I buy you lunch? MMM? And I always remember to reapply, he paused. He said

what

the hell do I have to eat.

Yes, that was the beginning of a relationship. Wow, we had lunch, talked for hours, and then I asked him to be my mentor, which he converted me to. down Mm-hmm, and again I did not recommend this. He was basically harassing him in his office. Why I rented an office every day. If we tell you physically, go there. I'll do the office. I would say anything. I would pick up the trash. Yes, he was just doing a demonstration. I want to help with anything. Yes, I don't care about the money. I don't want a salary. I don't want anything and finally, monthly, okay, I just need to hire you, that's right, this is like this is giving me so much money.

He is part of my staff and he is fine as this young man. He's like crazy. Right and he did and I worked for him for almost a year for next to nothing. That was a funny story, so we tried really hard to write mail, right? so we fill these envelopes and I'll help stop the envelopes and you know, the envelope, the stems and I would like that liquid envelope. Okay, and I would put it in after about two weeks of that. He said, Dan, you can actually use water for that Bear Bear, he gets poisoned, he licks five envelopes like that and you put everything in, but that's how I started, right?

That's how naive I was. I was just hungry. Rule number six: acquire good habits. We are what we human beings do

repeatedly

. We are creatures of habit. You realize that you do the same thing, the same routine, over and over, and over and over. Getting rich is not an act, it is a habit. So staying poor is also not an act. It's not something that happens to you by chance. It is a habit. So let me teach you the three best habits of the rich. The first habit of the rich is to count their money. The poor don't count their money.

They receive a salary. They deposit their salary. They spend the money. They have no idea what the expenses are. You have no idea how money flows. You know, these poor people say they have a job and wait until maybe once a year they find out they're filing taxes. The Texas I have is how much of the salary they look at. numbers. Do you even look at the numbers? Alright. Alright, that's what I have to pay without tax filing or death. Yes, look at it. Maybe once a year, rich people. We don't do that. We look at our numbers regularly.

We have financial knowledge. I'm not a numbers person. Do not misunderstand. Okay, I'm a conceptual guy. Well, I'm a big picture thinker. I'm a visionary but I'm very, very careful and I'm very conscious of how my money flows. Habit number two is that they pay themselves first. You've heard about this before. Oh yes, I know. I have heard about this. This before you have to pay yourself. Do you really know what that means that paying yourself doesn't buy you a car? It doesn't mean taking that vacation. It doesn't mean that you know, you would know, you're going to spend money on entertainment.

Oh yeah. I am paying money myself. No. That's paying everyone else. When you buy a car, you pay the car company. When you buy a house, you pay the bank. When you travel, you pay the travel agency. You're paying the hotel, you're paying the flight company, the airline, ping yourself, which means you save your money and invest your money now. I'm not talking about being frugal, you know, if you know anything about me, you know my job, I'm not talking about being dumb and cheap, I'm talking about taking a percentage of your income and putting it aside, pay yourself first. , save and then invest the habit of the rich number three and That is, rich people are constantly improving their ability to generate income because you might be thinking about Dan.

Okay, first I want to pay myself, but I don't make enough money. I only make a few dollars a month. I could have done it. I couldn't even afford to pay my bills. How am I going to pay myself first? First of all, you should get into the habit of paying yourself first. If you don't pay yourself first, even a small percentage when you make 30 40 50 60 100 thousand dollars a year, I guarantee it when you make one million two million dollars a year. You're not paying yourself, it's a habit I'm talking about and to be able to do that, every year to be able to pay yourself more and more and invest, you need to get better. your ability to earn income You need to find ways to add value to the market, how to add more value to the market.

So every year your income increases every year if you've been working at home in the real world and you have your own business and your income is stable for the last two, three, five years, and it's a shame. you. It means that you are not learning. It means that you are not thinking. It means that you are not increasing your income every year. You have to strive to improve your earning capacity and that of the rich. We are always constantly looking for ways to improve our ability to generate income, but also looking for ways to leverage leverage.

To apply leverage in what we do, rule number seven is no unrealistic expectations and why do you think so many people fail despite their best efforts, you know a lot of people are seeing this. At this point, maybe you have tried different ways to make money online or build businesses. Why do you think it is the main reason why many people fail? I think there are two main reasons: First, I think because of the whole Internet, people are not willing to do it. So Stefan is doing this kind of YouTube channel and he's publishing Kindle and I want to do that.

You know, Maybe I make some videos, but what they don't see is how many years of effort goes into it, so most people listen to a webinar, watch a video and say, "Oh, this guy is winning how much money online". You could do that and they jump into it and then they try for three months. And then all this doesn't work. Yes of course. Oh, they jump to the next thing: Bitcoin, whatever it is, it's so hard Bitcoin now, right? Oh, and then they try it and then they try it with a three-month-old baby. That does not work.

They try the following. So I think expectations. Expectations of discomfort should lead to disappointment and failure. Rule number eight: have a healthy mind and body. I saw a couple of comments on YouTube asking, or Dan, do you recommend these like mine? Stimulating our mind and articulating drugs. The answer is absolutely No, if you follow my work, you know, I don't smoke, I don't drink or do drugs, I don't even drink coffee, that's why I drink green tea with honey. That's why I drink and water and maybe from time to time You know how to cook zero when I'm watching a movie or something like that.

That's all. No drugs, no cigarettes and no alcohol. Why is that because you notice it a lot of times even with my own story? Actually, my father smoked a lot. I mean he said, hey, he was an alcoholic but he drinks a lot. He likes to have a glass here and there and I realize later when he had to pet. He had all the habits when his health was declining, many of those habits contributed to that. If you don't have a healthy body and a healthy mind, there is no way in hell you can withstand the stress and pressure it takes to succeed.

So I don't think you need those things. You just need that mind and those hands on drugs to be successful, have more clarity and everything. If you want to enjoy a drink here and there, that's perfectly fine. I'm just saying I don't. I don't need to drink alcohol to have a good time. And when I drink I like people, hey Dan, just a drink of beer. Alright. Enjoy, frankly, they don't taste good to me. I mean, they taste good they don't even taste good to me So I don't enjoy I don't need those things to have a good time if I have a good time good company good friends good conversation.

I have a good time and I don't need to get high to do it too I get high doing what I love I get high just from life I get high by being the impacted people rule number nine on your thermostat Alright, great ideas alone are It's not enough why Great ideas are not enough to change our lives. One of the big mistakes that most people make is that they tend to change their body. There are presidents who tell us to change the relationship. They are telling you to change the income of your finances. They tend to change something outside of themselves.

Searching for something that is within themselves. Some people see themselves as conservative and unsaved. Are they going to do something crazy? Will they go bungee jumping or skydiving? Not unless you're drunk or something. So you won't do anything crazy or act unless you're drunk. Now you might say it's the alcohol, but really it's you finally getting permission to be yourself. Alcohol is just an excuse if you are playful. If you're funny, if you're loud, you'll talk differently, you'll move differently. You will dress differently Maybe in a red suit and you will do things differently and there is no right or wrong but most of us have gotten stuck in an old image of ourselves and never really updated who we are today So when ? you go and learn a new skill when you learn a new skill a new idea But we're stuck in this self-image.

This is who I am and this is why we never get over it. Let me give you a metaphor. This would make sense to you. Let's say in this room we set the thermostat to 70 degrees. Let's say 70 degrees. It's a metaphor. Is it a what? Metaphor for your comfort zone, which is also known as your self-image, your comfort zone and most people have bigger goals. They are more than their self-image and that is why most people do not achieve their goals unless they alter them and or expand their self-image. So 70 degrees is your comfort zone: 70 degrees.

It's your body Not your goal or where you want to eventually be, but what you're comfortable with 70 degrees is the amount of love, passion and connection you have in your personal intimate relationship Again, not your goal But you know where you live with what you regularly live 70 degrees is the amount of money you need to earn to be comfortable What you feel comfortable with is not your goal. Let's say the temperature drops to 65 degrees. Now what happens if your brain goes? Hey hey. Hey, it's 70 degrees or not 65, the heaters are on. You feel like this is an impulse and this discomfort and you want to do something about it by raising your hand.

How many have I ever experienced in part of life? Maybe your body maybe your income maybe your relationship where it fell and you fell is not good enough and you fell like this Amazing try to do something about it. Yes, but without a path I'm going to say oh, yes. Oh yeah, and from there, you try something and it doesn't work, you try something else and it doesn't work, you try something else and it doesn't work. Now, after a while, no one wants to be a disappointment. Nobody wants to feel like a failure in their life.

So what some people do is lower their thermostats, lower their expectations. Make your goals smaller. More realistic, more reasonable. Don't get your hopes up or you will be disappointed. Well, you know, maybe, maybe not. I'm not a 70 70 degrees Maybe our 65 degree air Look at those 70 degree people so arrogant, so deluded, they're probably workaholics anyway I'm being smart. I'm cutting back. I'm downsizing. I don't want to exhaust myself. I don't have any more balance in my life. Now, before you know it, they're 62. They're only 58 now, by the way. When you add when they add when they ask if Hara hangs out with 70-degree people today No, they Hang out with 50-degree people so they feel better about themselves on a regular basis.

Why do you think people watch We Are television? You know what I thought, my life is a mess. Look at these people on television. Instantly, if you better buy. Now, but you're in taxes, obviously, you're not like that. You are a winner. Yeah. You're not a winner. So when it's supposed to be 70 degrees, yeah, 65. What do you do, something about it? Yes, don't settle, try it. Try something else. It does not work. Try something else. It does not work. Try something else. It doesn't work You don't settle you don't give up and you don't give up If you hit a wall you go around it you go over it and you go under it, whatever it takes you do it and you do it Do you stop at 70 degrees?

No, you continue until you reach 80 85 90 91 92 93 99 degrees and your brain says hey, hey. Hey, what do you think you're doing up here? You are not an A/D graduate. Who do you think you are? You go back to where you were and suddenly you realize that you are out of your comfort zone and then theheating stops and you lose momentum and start self-sabotaging and stop doing what got you there. first and you start doing some dumb things, making some dumb decisions, until you get back to exactly where you think you deserve to be. Now how many of you know this?

I'm sure none of you have done this. But how many of you have seen other people sabotage themselves? Yes, I thought so, I thought so. You see, the strongest force in human personality is the need to remain consistent with how we see ourselves. The strongest force in human personality is the need to remain consistent with how we see ourselves and the image we have. of ourselves controls our successes and our failures and also impacts every area of ​​our life and rule number 10 The last one before some very special bonus clips is to have a sense of urgency The average human life expectancy is 75 years One third of your life is You spend sleeping and the outer third of your life is spent watching movies on television, drinking and partying, traveling, spending time with family and friends, playing video games, going to work, buying groceries, paying bills, being stuck in the traffic, waiting in line, mowing the lawn, cleaning the house and doing laundry. 25 years left.

In the first 18 years of your life you are growing, you are learning to walk, eat, run and talk. You are totally dependent on your parents and go to school because he can't really think for himself. He makes your own decisions OR he knows how to be your own person. That means you have about seven years to make your dreams come true, and if you have a job, you'll probably spend most of that time working for someone else instead of building your own dream. Life is too short to waste time on people who don't lift weights. you are encouraged or inspired life is too short to live Someone else's dream life is too short to wait life is too short not to take risks Life is too short to wake up to it You developed a sense of urgency in the search of the success and freedom you owe Take a step forward to live life on your own terms.

Now I have two very special bonus clips on how to decide to succeed and keep trying. I think you will really enjoy it, but before that I want to make sure that you are moving from consuming a video to taking action in your life for your business, so I have three questions for you to ask yourself and in the answers write them in your journal to discuss them with a friend or leave them. in the comments below Ready, here we go. Question number one What triggers can you put in your environment to guide you to success?

Question number two. What will you do to turn up your thermostat and raise your standards? And question number three? What is the most important habit you need to improve right now? Thank you all so much for watching. I believe in you, I hope we continue to believe in you and whatever. Your only word is much. Love. I'll see you soon and enjoy the additional clips. I was born in Hong Kong, right, so I immigrated to Canada when I was 14 with no money, no connections and couldn't speak a word of English, so you can. look, when even today I still speak with an accent, I leave you an accent then My mom and my dad because they were having some problems and then my mom decided that she didn't want to continue in the relationship That's why she emigrated to Canada and the time was very young.

I was like a punk kid. Yes, I had no address. Yes, I got into fights and hung out with the wrong crowd of people and always got into trouble, so my mom, my mom and my dad got divorced when I was 16 and my darling probably went bankrupt after that. Hong Kong and the time when my mom and I lived in a one-bedroom apartment Okay, in one of the worst neighborhoods in Vancouver Wow Then I remember I was my mom stayed in the room I slept in the living room fighting with sewing on the floor Basically, I remember one day after Scott went home, the door was locked and I knocked on my mom's door.

She was talking on the phone with someone. I didn't know who but I heard she was crying on the phone and it's like hey mom, mom is everything. Well. I was like, oh, I know everything, so don't worry about it and then I basically found out that she was on the phone with my dad and my dad, basically, my mom. She declared bankruptcy. She couldn't send us money anymore. At first she sent us an assignment. True, and my mother is a very, very positive happy person. As if she were one of those people who are friends with everyone.

Like I said, no enemies, just a sweet, sweet, sweet person. So, I will never forget my mom's face, that face, that desperate facial expression and she said: now I'm going to do it. I have been a housewife all my life. How am I going to raise this child without money? with little savings and buds. She wasn't working at the time, you know, so you're also 16 right now. 16 17 like 17 and from then on I told myself I don't care what I have to do. I don't want to see that face on my mom anymore. Yes, yes, I don't care what it takes.

I don't care how hard it is after work. That is the tipping point of the planet, a seat right where I know that, as a man, we want to support the family, of course, and we want to, but I think that, as a man, we can't. Protecting the people we love if we don't have the resources, right, it could be financial, but if we don't have the resources and that's when I made a decision. I'm going to be successful because unless I'm successful I can't provide for the people I love. I can't protect the people I love and that was it from then on, that's the only child.

And that's when I started my first business if Ask me the right question Oh Dan. Why was motivation what kept me going? There is no motivation every time I fail in a business, I was more and more in debt. So when I feel like I feel 13 deals before I have my first success. After you failed in so many businesses, I was in debt. I just wanted to get a job and I would never pay for it. It would take me 20 years to pay that off. So it's more like I'm back around the corner. I have no way out.

I have to make it work. So now I thought: I just have to keep trying. And if I can achieve it, everything will be fine. And that's exactly what it is. So, I mean, if you're in debt, don't think about it, if you are, I want to save a few pennies. Let's not have a Starbucks coffee in the morning if it makes any difference. It's not going to make a difference. You need to focus on wealth creation. To earn more money, then you will be able to eliminate debt in a short period of time, right? Now the honey empire dominates the tourist world, right?

I'm grateful and I think why I'm here because I'm so open. I wanted to think and see that it is a very short life.
