Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Hangs out with loser friends.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
What I need from you?
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Making more friends is a goal.

Losing 20kg is a goal.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
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.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?

Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Why do some people tell the girl I like that I don’t like her when I do like her?
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Do not set goals—set systems.
“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.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.

Saving $10,000 is a goal.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Ask yourself:
How do I cut off friends that don't contribute to my life?
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?

If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
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 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.

That's it for today.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
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.
Procrastinates a lot.
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.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Does not procrastinate.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
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.
