To achieve significant personal transformation and reach peak performance, one must adopt a rigorous "immersion phase" of isolation and focused effort, mirroring NASA's astronaut training protocols, to break free from old habits and environments.

All right. So, let me tell you something
interesting, and I promise this actually
has to do with the video. I was reading
a few weeks ago, NASA spends about $4.5
billion a year on space operations. And
a really big slice of that pie is
literally to figure out how to transform
regular people into superhuman
performers. So, they spend about $15
million per year individually on an
astronaut. And as they were going
through this whole process, they figured
out one protocol that changes
everything. One that you can actually
apply in your 2026 to achieve every
single goal that you might have for the
year. Here's the protocol. You know what
NASA does with an astronaut before a
mission? Immersion phase. Complete
isolation. Zero contact with the outside
world. No family, no friends, no
parties, no distractions, nothing.
Literally just them, their crew, and the
mission. And the reason for that is
because when you are about to launch
into space, you can't afford to be
carrying any sort of emotional baggage.
You can't afford weak habits. You can't
afford distractions. I mean, especially
up there, one slip up and you're
actually dead. So NASA, what they did is
they figured out something profound. If
you want someone to perform at a level
they've never performed at before, you
need to remove them from the environment
that created their current level. You
need an immersion phase. You need total
isolation. and then and only then can
Now, the reason I tell you this NASA
story is because that's exactly what you
need to do. It's that time of the year
again. And just like every other year,
you're probably thinking about what you
want to achieve in 2026. Maybe it's
finally getting in shape. Maybe it's
making real money. Maybe it's becoming
the man or the woman you know you are
capable of being. And here's the thing,
you've wanted these same things before
in 2025, in 2024, probably even before
that, but you didn't get there. And it's
not that you didn't try, you did. You
went to the gym, you started working on
your goals, you had genuine motivation.
But somewhere around Feb or March,
something happened. Not because you're
lazy, not because you lacked discipline,
but because there were one or two habits
quietly sabotaging everything. Maybe it
was going out every weekend when you
should have been focused. Maybe it was
scrolling your phone for hours instead
of working. Maybe it was just hanging
around people who kept pulling you
backwards. And those habits, they seem
small. They seem harmless, but they are
the reason that you ended up in the same
place by March. Same body, same bank
account, same life. And the reason I
bring up that whole NASA thing is
because they figured out decades ago,
you can't perform at a higher level
while being stuck in the environment
that created your current habits. The
contamination is too strong. The habits
are too deeply wired. The influences are
And that's exactly what this video is
about. I'm going to give you the exact
seven rules that will allow you to enter
the immersion phase in the first 90 days
of 2026. Remove those weak habits that
are holding you back and make you come
back completely unrecognizable. And by
the way, this isn't theory. This is the
exact same system I've been using for
years and years now whenever I need a
lock in in my life. And it doesn't
matter if it's I'm starting a new
venture or I'm trying to get in shape.
And by the way, here is why right now is
the perfect time. While everyone else is
making the same empty promises they made
last year, posting their new year, new
me stories, you are going to be the one
who's actually in the immersion phase,
building in silence. And by the end of
March when everyone else has already
quit their resolutions and gone back to
their old lives, you are going to launch
and no one is going to recognize you.
Not your friends, not your family, not
even yourself. So pay attention because
these seven rules, they are your mission
protocol. And just like NASA doesn't
send astronauts to space without
preparation, I have two requirements
before you proceed. Requirement number
one, as soon as you finish this video,
you are going to subscribe yourself to
our 5-day free live workshop starting
January 11th, where we're going to teach
you the best AI powered business model
for 2026. Because a big part of becoming
unrecognizable comes from being a man or
a woman who knows how to make money, who
knows how to be self-sufficient, who
knows how to be a provider for them and
their loved ones. I mean, would an
astronaut be able to complete their
mission without the rocket fuel? No. And
just like that, you're not going to be
able to launch into the best version of
yourself if you don't have money to fuel
your mission. And that's why the first
thing in the description is a
registration for our AI income workshop.
Requirement number two, you must be
willing to actually disappear for 90
days. And I mean disappear. Cut out the
noise, the distractions, the people
pulling you down. This isn't going to be
comfortable. Okay? When astronauts go
into the immersion phase, they wake up
sore, exhausted, isolated. So don't
expect this to be easy. It won't. and
you've been warned. Now, if you're still
here, without further ado, let's go
ahead and jump into your mission protocol.
protocol.
All right, so rule number one is monk
mode, and this is your extraction
philosophy. Astronauts cut contact with
Earth before launch. And you, you are
going to cut out all the noise for the
next 90 days. I'm talking about weed,
women, alcohol, pork, video games, all
that crap that is keeping you distracted
and that needs to be gone for the next
90 days. And you're going to replace
them with 3 to six healthy
non-negotiables. And when I say
non-negotiables, I mean actual
non-negotiables. Listen, I don't care if
you're tired. I don't care if you're
sad. I don't care if it's raining. I
don't care if the markets are crashing.
I don't care if your girlfriend just
broke up with you. You are getting it
done no matter what. And this is really
the level of discipline that is required
in order for you to succeed. Now, let me
run you through the basic
non-negotiables. It's 30 minutes a day
of exercise, 15 minutes a day of
meditation, no alcohol or weed. Those
are the non-negotiables for everyone.
Now, I also recommend you add some
personalized non-negotiables on top of
that, okay? Because we're all different
and we all have different goals and
outcomes. So, you keep the three
universal non-negotiables and then you
add one to three of your own
personalized non-negotiables. Look, I've
helped hundreds of thousands of people
with monk mode. And I've noticed that
after six non-negotiables, there is a
very drastic drop off in consistency.
So, keep it simple. This is your
extraction. This is you cutting off from
the environment that made you common in
the first place. And that brings us on
All right. Rule number two is design
your environment. This is creating your
sterile chamber. You know what
astronauts don't do just before they
launch? Change their mindset. Instead,
what they do is they change their
environment. We're talking about every
surface, every system, every piece of
equipment designed for one thing, the
mission. Zero contamination about. And
that's exactly what you need to do with
your physical space for the next 90
days. Your room, your workspace, your
phone, every environment you operate in
needs to become an extraction pod.
Because here is the truth. You can have
all of the discipline in the world. But
if you're surrounded by triggers and
distractions, you're basically just
fighting an uphill battle every single
day. So, let's start with your room.
Look around. What do you see? A gaming
console, a TV, junk food, alcohol. Every
single thing in your room is either
supporting your mission or sabotaging
it. There's nothing in there that is
neutral. So, remove the TV from your
bedroom. Get the gaming console out.
Throw out the junk food and alcohol. If
you can see it, you'll be tempted by it.
Astronauts don't keep unnecessary
equipment in the spacecraft. Every kilo
matters. And in your room, every object
either propels you forward or holds you
back. Now your phone is the most
contaminated device you own. Delete
every social media app. Instagram, Tik
Tok, Twitter, gone. Then what you want
to do is you want to set your phone to
grayscale. This removes all the dopamine
triggering colors that keep you
scrolling. You need to remove every app
that doesn't serve your mission. Games
deleted. Entertainment apps gone. Your
phone should be a tool, not a toy.
Communication and productivity only.
That's it. Now your workspace. If you
work from your bed, you're done. Your
bed is for sleep. Your desk is for work.
One purpose per space. When astronauts
eat, they eat. When they work, they
work. When they sleep, they sleep.
There's no overlap because your brain
needs clear environmental cues. So, make
your workspace mission focus. Remove
decorations, posters, anything that
distracts. You need one screen, one
notebook, one purpose, and that is your
sterile chamber. And here is what
happens when you design your environment
correctly. You stop relying on
willpower. You don't need to resist
temptation when temptation doesn't exist
in your space. You're not fighting
yourself anymore. You're operating in an
environment that's built for success.
And by the way, that's why NASA spends
billions designing spacecraft
environments because they know the
environment determines behavior more
than motivation ever will. And for the
next 90 days, your room, your phone,
your workspace, they are your
spacecraft. Design them like your
mission depends on it. Because honestly,
it does. Anyways, let's get to this workout.
Rule number three is you need to commit
to a physical event. This is really your
launch date. When astronauts enter
extraction, they have like an actual
launch date, a specific day when they're
getting on that rocket. It's not a maybe
or a someday. It is marked on the
calendar and that commitment keeps them
going through the brutal, brutal
preparation. And that's exactly what you
need. a physical event, a marathon, a
hierox, your first boxing fight, a
triathlon, something tangible, real,
concrete, like an actual date to work
towards. Why? Well, because you can't
pretend to finish a marathon. You can't
pretend you won a sparring match. You
can't fake a hierox time. You either did
it or you didn't. And this is really
going to help you internalize a very
important lesson. Results are rooted in
reality, not your perception. In life,
you either put in the work and you did
it or you didn't. And this mindset
rewiring alone is powerful enough to
change your life forever. I've used this
countless of times over the years. I
remember when I ran my first marathon at
the end of 2022, probably the most
difficult year of my entire life. I did
it on 2 weeks notice. And I had never
run more than 7 km before in my life. I
literally said, I woke up one day, I was
like, in 2 weeks I am going to run a
marathon. Remember, I'd never run more
than 7 km in my entire life. And I ran
it in 3 hours and 42 minutes with
basically no experience. But it didn't
really matter while I ran. I wasn't the
most prepared or the most trained. I
mean, sure, I had 2 weeks to prepare, I
guess, but I just had to prove to myself
how strong I am. And that is why I set
that challenge for myself. So, it
doesn't need to be a marathon. It could
be a boxing match. It could be a high
rocks. It could be anything you want. It
could be a half marathon. It could be a
10k run. It doesn't matter. You just
need a physical challenge. The point is,
you need to prove to yourself just how
strong you are. So, pick your event.
Mark the date. That is your launch date.
And on the inevitable days where you
have zero motivation, cuz it happens to
everyone, and you are going to want to
quit, everything hurts, that commitment
will be the string holding you together.
Let's get your eyes. This is all your
don't be shy. Just keep them legs up.
Let them drop.
>> All right. So, rule number four is focus
on IPAs. Now, these are income producing
activities. This is really your mission
fuel. You remember that feeling when a
fat paycheck hits your account. You
can't help but feel like a winner.
Because of course, a lot of your
self-worth is tied to making money.
Whether you want to admit it or not,
whether that's right or wrong, I'm not
here to debate that. I'm just telling
you it's the case. You can disagree with
it philosophically, but it's impossible
to deny that it's real. And the fact
that it has such a quick and drastic
impact on your mood is pretty much all
the proof that you need. But even though
it's a powerful enough reason to focus
on IPAs, it's not the main one. A lack
of money is like toxic mold that grows
and destroys everything in your life you
are trying to do. You're not going to be
able to train properly thinking about
rent. You can't sleep properly with
thousands in debt to pay off. And you
will never achieve your full potential
if you have money anxiety breathing down
your neck all the time. Now, here's what
most people don't understand about
making money. Timing matters. Okay? You
can have all the discipline in the
world, work 16 hours a day, but if you
are not riding the right wave, well,
then you're just treading water. And
let's be honest with ourselves in 2026,
the wave is AI. It's not crypto. It's
not NFTTS. It's not whatever worked in
2023 or 2024. AI powered business
models. That is the wave. And you can
either catch it now or watch everyone
else ride it while you were stuck doing
the same old that's not working. I
mean, let's just think about it for a
second. The people who made millions in
2010 weren't just hard workers. They
were riding the mobile app wave. The
people who made millions in 2015, they
were riding the ecom wave. The people
who are going to make millions in 2026,
they are riding the AI wave. And if
you're starting this extraction at the
beginning of 2026, I'm hosting an AI
income workshop starting January 12th
where I'm going to teach you the best AI
powered business model for this year.
Not theory, not outdated strategies, the
exact incomeroucing activities that's
working right now using AI. Link is in
the description. Because here's the
reality. Would an astronaut complete
their mission without fuel? No. And
you're not going to launch into the best
version of yourself without money to
fuel your mission. So during these 90
days of extraction, you're not just
building discipline and cutting
distractions. You are learning how to
ride the biggest wave of the decade. And
when you emerge, you're going to have
the skills, the system, and the income
to back up your transformation. So focus
So rule number five is you need to focus
on education because this is really
closing your knowledge gap. I'm not
going to tell you it's good to focus on
education because you already know that.
Okay. What I want to do instead is
explain why you should focus on
education during these 90 days
specifically. And to be honest, it's
actually quite simple. Most people think
that multi-millionaires are geniuses or
simply talented. They think, "Oh, well,
he or she, they're just gifted." But
let's be honest here. Do you really
think that I'm some 150 IQ genius? If
you do, I'm very flattered. Thank you.
But let me tell you, I most definitely
am not. You're literally looking at a
high school dropout.
>> Next Tuesday will be my last day of
school, which is super cool. The only
difference between me and you is I know
how to make millions of dollars and you
don't. And I know that sounds like a
crazy statement, but I mean, like,
really think about it. If you knew how
to make millions of dollars a year right
now, you would, wouldn't you? Yeah, of
course you would. But you don't because
you've been chalking it all down to, oh,
he's just this and that. Making all of
these excuses in your life when the
reality is the only difference between
high earners and you is a knowledge gap.
Quite frankly, these people are simply
more well-versed on certain topics than
you are. And to be honest, there's
nothing really else to it. That is it.
Earning differences are learning
differences. Stop thinking that people
are special. They're not. Quite simply,
they just know something that you don't.
So, during these 90 days of extraction,
while you are isolated from all the
noise and the distractions, this is your
chance to close the gap. This is your
chance to learn what the people
operating at the highest level that you
want to reach already know. Focus on
education during these 90 days and you
will be able to make leaps in a month
that would take the average person
years, even decades. Why? Because you're
not distracted. You're not partying.
You're not wasting time. You are fully
locked in absorbing everything you need
to launch. Rule number six, build your
crew. This is selecting your support
team. Here's something important about
astronauts that most people don't
realize. They don't go to space alone.
Yes, they're an extraction. Yes, they're
isolated from the world, but they are
not isolated from their crew. They have
mission control. They have their fellow
astronauts. They have flight surgeons.
They have a team of people who are 100%
aligned with the mission. And that's
exactly what you need during your
extraction. You are disappearing from
99% of people. The friends who want to
party, the people who mock your goals,
the ones who say, "Oh, you're changing
like it's a bad thing." They're out
completely for 90 days. They don't
exist. But you need to identify your
crew. The one to three people who are
aligned with your mission. Maybe it's a
mentor. Maybe it's a coach. Maybe it's
that one friend who's always on the same
path. Maybe it's a family member who
believes in you. These are the only
people who get access to you during
extraction. Because here's the thing,
isolation doesn't mean total loneliness.
It means selective access. Astronauts
are isolated from Earth, but they are
together with their crew because the
mission is too hard to do alone. And
really, your crew serves three main
purposes. First is accountability. They
check in. They make sure you're
following your non-negotiables. They
call you out when you're slipping.
Second is support. On the days when you
do want to quit, and those days will
come. They will remind you why you
started. They keep you going when your
own motivation fails. And third is
expertise. They know things that you
don't. They've been where you're trying
to go. They can guide you. They can
teach you. They can show you the
shortcuts. But here's the very critical
thing. Your crew must be aligned with
your mission. not neutral, not
supportive, but skeptical, fully
aligned. They believe in what you're
doing. They want you to succeed. They
are willing to push you, to challenge
you and hold you to your highest
standard. So during this extraction, cut
off everyone who's not aligned and build
your crew with the few who are. Because
when you launch, you're not launching
alone. You're launching with a team that
help prepare you for this exact moment.
Rule number seven is make a promise to a
loved one. This is your mission purpose.
Now listen, this is the most important
rule. And here's why. You need to
understand something about human beings.
We are far more willing to do things for
others than we are for ourselves. Now,
despite all of our flaws, this is
something undeniably beautiful that
lives inside of us. And you can actually
leverage that biological hardwiring to
win at life. This plus committing to a
physical event will ensure that you stay
consistent no matter what during this
period. Now, let me tell you a story. If
you know anything about my background,
you know that I grew up with a single
mom. Listen, unfortunately, it's a very
common story these days. My biological
father was an alcoholic and my
grandparents raised me until I was four
years old because my mom was young. She
had me when she was 23. She was working
three jobs to support us. And
eventually, my mom met my stepdad. They
dated for a couple years. He proposed.
They got married. Things were amazing
until I was 11 years old and he cut us
off financially. And very shortly
thereafter, my mom basically went back
to the same position she was in before,
working day-to-day normal jobs. Now, she
always kept a brave face, but I could
tell the financial burden was weighing
heavy on her. Now, it's one thing to
suffer yourself. I don't mind suffering
at all. Give it all to me. I love it.
But seeing a loved one suffer, for me,
that breaks my heart. So, I promised her
something. I said, "I'm going to get us
out of this situation no matter what.
I'm going to become wealthy or I'm going
to die in the process." And now she
lives in a $4 million house, bought cash
with a Range Rover parked in front of
it. And it's funny, a few months back, I
literally texted her. I was like, "Hey,
mom, you remember 10 years ago when I
told you I will buy you your dream house
and there will be a Range Rover parked
in front of it." And 10 years later,
that is exactly what happened. Now, why
am I telling you all of this? Because my
story growing up is very common. Okay?
We all go through financial struggles.
Now, I want to make it very clear. I
wasn't eating out of trash cans and I
definitely wasn't homeless. But just
seeing my mom wake up every single day
and have the stress of how she was going
to provide for the both of us, that was
enough to light a fire under my ass.
Because you need to understand that as
human beings, we are far more willing to
do things for others than ourselves. And
you can leverage that. I looked so crazy
at the age of 14 telling my mom,
"Listen, mom, don't worry. I'm going to
buy you your dream house. There's going
to be a Range Rover parked in front of
it. You're going to have this. You're
going to have that. You're going to have
anything your heart desires." And to be
honest, she probably didn't believe me.
Listen, I love my mom to bits, but did
she really think I was going to be able
to buy her a multi-million dollar house
at the age that I did? No, probably not.
But it didn't matter to me. Just making
that promise to her was enough. I made a
promise to her and I wasn't going to let
her down. So, make a promise to your
loved one. Whether that's your mom, your
dad, your siblings, your future kids,
whoever it is that you would fight
harder for than you would fight for
yourself. And by the way, they may not
believe you. That's okay. But you will
believe you. And that promise will carry
you through the hardest days of this
process. When you want to quit, when you
want to give up, when it feels
impossible, you will remember that
promise and you will keep going. Because
this isn't just about you anymore. It is
about them. And that that changes
everything. Listen, if you follow the
rules I laid down in this video, I
promise you that you will change so much
that not even your family will recognize
you, let alone your friends or the
people in your city. You're going to
develop a spark in your eyes, a
magnetism. Others will be drawn to you,
and they won't even know why. People
will start taking you seriously, and
most importantly, you will start taking
yourself seriously. I am telling you
this from firstirhand experience. Every
single rule mentioned in this video, I
followed myself and it worked too well.
The goals I used to set as the ceiling
became the floor. I became a man I never
thought I could be. And it was because
just like an astronaut before launch, I
willingly isolated myself and decided
not to leave until I became the version
of myself I was meant to be. Now, I want
to leave you with a few pointers. The
first thing you should do after watching
this video is grab a pen and paper and
organize how you're going to tackle this
process. the habits you're going to
eliminate, the vices you're going to
cut, the crew you're going to build, the
physical event you're going to commit
to, the promise you're going to make,
everything I talked about in today's
video, and then set a date to start and
a date to finish. The transformation
start date and your launch date because
this video isn't meant to be taken
lightly. I'm not making this for
entertainment. This is going to require
every fiber of strength in your body.
So, prepare and take it seriously. And
once you start, don't look back. And
once you've done all of that, make sure
you get your free ticket to the AI
income workshop. The link is in the
description. That's going to set you on
the right path to make sure that in the
next 90 days, you crush it financially.
Because like I said in rule four, would
an astronaut launch without fuel? No.
And you're not going to launch into the
best version of yourself without money
to fuel your mission. With all that
being said, I wish you good luck in the
next 90 days of 2026. This is your
chance to disappear and come back
unrecognizable. And as always, I'm
watching from afar and I'm rooting for you.
