Hey what's up guys,

As I was walking home from class and started thinking about why it has been so hard for me to get to the "next" level. I realized that the only reason I was having trouble, and why so many people are having trouble getting to the next level, is this: 

I WAS AVOIDING MY RESPONSIBILITIES AND PROCRASTINATING ON EVERYTHING. 

Many people are in trouble because they act like this (ESPECIALLY COLLEGE STUDENTS). Look, I get it, College is hard. And it seems like everytime you make some type of progress, you're faced with another assignment, or midterm, and you're just like "this is not worth it". Why? Because it seems like you never get rewarded for your hard work. 

Fellas, I am telling you, you NEED to get through the HARD work, STOP procrastinating, and actually AIM HIGHER with your goals. 

This is you: 

You do the bare minimum, and procrastinate on the work you do. So you spend all your free time watching Netflix, or hanging out with friends, KNOWING that in the back of your mind you have real responsibilities to attend to.  And that voice in the back of your head never goes away. You can only hush it up for so long. 

So DEAL with your RESPONSIBILITIES, do the hard work, and GET IT OVER WITH. 

For the longest time, I acted like this while in college because I was just over it. I was such a procrastinator. But then one day, I decided to just do the work, not get attached to my outcome, but just do the hard work. 

When I did this, I realized what it was like to not have that voice in the back of my head that said, "you can't have as much fun as you think you want to, you still have some responsibilities you are not taking care of" and instead run on CLARITY and a PEACE OF MIND. 

Without that stress, and without feeling like a hypocrite, you get to a state in which you work at your optimal level. Why? Because ANYTHING you do, is now GETTING AHEAD of the game. And it feels SO GOOD to do WORK when you know that you are really just GETTING AHEAD now. 

Don't get lazy after you complete your work. Don't relax. There is valuable time to be taken advantage of, and a valuable feeling of NO STRESS, to GET AHEAD in your business, your personal projects, your hobbies, your passion, your gym routine ETC.

In this podcast I talk about a strategic way to get to that Optimal State and thus how you can get ahead. 

Please let me know what you think. Trust me. You can do this. Thanks!
