Willpower doesn’t work.

People lose the battle against willpower every day. It could be the battle to quit smoking, to quit eating fast food or to finally make exercise a consistent habit.

But what would happen if you got rid of willpower entirely? How much more committed would you be to the changes you want to make?

As the #1 personal development writer on Medium and author of the book Willpower Doesn’t Work said, “You are who you are because of your environment. Want to change? Then change your environment, stop the willpower madness already.” 

You might have noticed the effect of your environment to an extent already. When your house is a mess your life might feel more chaotic or stressful as well. But when your environment is clean and clutter-free you feel more productive, motivated, and driven to succeed.

The same goes for the people you spend your time with. If you spend time with optimistic and positive people, your energy levels tend to increase. But if you are surrounded by negative, pessimistic or unmotivated people, your energy and motivation are drained. This is when your willpower can’t be trusted.   

Your environment also has a huge effect on your subconscious mind and the signals you are constantly sending it. After reading Benjamin Hardy’s Willpower Doesn’t Work and Jack Canfield’s The Success Principles I completely changed my environment in 2018.

The result?

The most effective, driven, and productive months of my life. Here’s why your environment shapes who you are and three ways you can change it for more clarity and ultimately, productivity.  

Your external environment has a dramatic impact on how you experience life on a daily basis. If your environment is not helping you, then it is probably hurting you. Luckily, you can change your environment much easier than you probably think.

By shaping your environment directly, you will be shaping your thoughts and behaviors indirectly. You can create conditions that allow for the desired behaviors which are not optional in common conditions.

For example, if you’re trying to lose weight don’t buy the food that is your downfall. Don’t even have it in the house. Or if you’re trying to create a morning routine of working out, make it to where you basically fall into your gym clothes. 

Create your optimal environment for success by reshaping it with these three tricks I’ve used:  

As I’m sure you’ve read or heard, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” Not just your attitude but your income, motivation, and nearly every other area of your life. 

Ask yourself whether your friends are helping or hurting your success. 

If you spend time consistently with friends that are dragging you down or living a life you don’t want, you have to be willing to change.  

Your friends should remind of you more of your future and less of your past. If you want more happiness, motivation, and drive, surround yourself with these 6 types of people. If not, why are you nurturing toxic relationships?

Instead, focus on friends who add value to your life. Find ones who are positive and supportive of your dreams. When you surround yourself with new people your thoughts, feelings, and ambitions will change as well. 

Find people doing what you want to do  

As Gary Vee said, “If you know exactly what you want to be you need to spend as much time with people that are that already.”

This could mean reaching out to mentors, emailing people you admire online or attending networking events. Yes, it will be out of your comfort zone. But if you really want to change your environment you need the right people in your life. While it may feel uncomfortable, these uncomfortable actions can lead to exponential growth.

Clutter is weighing you down, physically and mentally.

Decluttering your car, house and desk will help you declutter your brain as well. To have more clarity, you need to create an environment that is calm, relaxing, and stress-free. If you’re always flustered, late, or missing things at work, chances are the messiness is reflected in your environment too. 

If you want more of anything in your life you need to make room for it. Physically as well as psychologically.

Schedule a “completion weekend” and take care of all the things that are bugging you and taking up unnecessary space in your mind. It could be a dirty car, piles of laundry, a broken hinge on a door or cleaning your desktop. Sure, these tasks may seem small and “not that important” but physiologically, they are holding you back. 

The last way to reshape your environment is to create a vision board that is a constant reminder of what you are trying to achieve. Vision boards are extremely powerful tools that can help manifest your dreams into reality.

By creating one and looking at it on a daily basis, you will constantly be reminded of what you are trying to achieve. It’s no surprise that some of the most successful people in the world like Oprah, Jack Canfield, and Tony Robbins have used them to achieve massive success.

Create a success wall

Vision boards are great for your future but don’t forget to remind yourself of all you have already achieved. I recommend creating a success wall.

On my wall, I have pictures of successful people I’ve met, buying my first home, playing Pebble Beach golf club, and other memorable life events. Remember to always celebrate and document your wins!

Sometimes success isn't about always doing more. Often times, it's about doing less. Drop these seven things from your life and I know you'll find more success than ever.

7 Things to Give Up to Become Successful

1. Impressing Others

Don't compare your life to someone else's highlight reel on social media. The only person to compare yourself with is your former self.

2. Doing Shit You Hate

2019 is the year to stop doing things that don't bring your fulfillment and joy. Life's too short to spend time on things that are killing your energy and fulfillment.

3. Not Believing in Yourself

Belief is a choice, choose to believe in you. While you might need to put in the work to reprogram your subconscious beliefs, it's worth it. Check your old stories and reshape your beliefs.

4. Trying to Be Perfect

No one is perfect, despite what you see on social media. It's okay to have flaws, every human does. Focus on improving and show others how you deal with your imperfections.

Remember, 70% done is PERFECT. 100% done is FAILURE!

5. Toxic People

The five people you spend the most time with have a HUGE impact on your income, happiness, motivation, and other areas. Don't waste time with people who aren't motivated and are dragging you down.

6. Impressing Others

People are going to judge you regardless of what you do. Quit trying to impress others and start impressing yourself.

7. Thinking Small

Life's too short to not thing BIG. Ask yourself, will you feel better by thinking and achieving small or thinking big and getting to 80% achievement?

Because even if you "fail" you're going to be way ahead of where you would with small thinking.

In today's episode, I got to interview Carlos Redlich who is a 6-figure copywriter and digital entrepreneur. 

He discusses what it takes to get started as a copywriter, how to land clients, and the habits of successful entrepreneurs. I love his story about hustle and think you'll get inspired to start your own online business in 2019. 

As Warren Buffet said, "Invest in yourself, you are your own biggest asset by far." 

To most people, investing only means putting money in the stock market and/or buying real estate.

Don’t get me wrong, these are historically good investments as the stock market has returned around 9% and real estate about 5.5% annually. Plus we can’t create any more land and people need to live somewhere so real estate is a great idea.

But the more I studied, read, attended seminars, and listened to ultra-successful billionaires, CEO’s and entrepreneurs, I realized these are simply ok returns. There is another way of investing that can make you way more money and improve your life in every area.

Investing in yourself allows you to improve every area of your life.

One of the top habits of successful people is that they understand the power of investing in themselves.

As Tony Robbins said, “I didn’t get this way by reading one book or attending one seminar. I consciously kept investing in myself and my future.”
