you know some people are a million years
ahead while it seems like you're stuck
in the slow lane although time has
passed your life hasn't changed that
much in The Last 5 Years and
realistically it's unlikely you'll catch
a break in the next five if you keep
going at the pace you are right now the
life you envision for yourself will just
be a wish you once had other people have
the same 24 hours in a day but somehow
they're getting substantially more done
than you are that's because they know
something you don't but you're about to
learn it by the end of this video you'll
learn how to make 5 years worth of
progress in just one here's how to make
progress faster in life Welcome to alux
the place where future billionaires come
to get
inspired number one you pick only one
goal and you brainwash yourself into
believing it's
achievable at the core of any form of
achievement is belief many people have
dreams and wishes that they know deep
down are not going to happen so they
default to luck and look okay luck is
not a strategy it doesn't have to be
believable to everyone else you have to
believe that you can get there Define it
clearly write it down look at the goal
daily to keep yourself locked in it
turns out that we as humans are actually
really good at getting what we want if
only we know what it is once a purpose
is set and a goal is defined every
choice you make should be aligned with
it the progress will come from getting
closer to the goal it'll probably not be
a linear path but make the decisions
that get you closer in any shape
proximity to it increases the chances of
you making it so get yourself closer
where most people fail and get stuck is
when they pick two goals that are in
opposite directions a step closer to one
of them will take you a step further
away from the other in a panic you take
a step back to remedy it you just made
two steps each one took effort both were
oriented towards your goals but if you
look at the map you're back to where you
started if there's one thing to remember
alexir it is this speed comes from Focus not
not
force number two find one source of
Truth research it and commit to it fully
you're smart enough to distinguish
between what has a higher probability of
success and what is clear
right okay so find a source of Truth
this means a voice a mentor an example
of someone who did what you're about to
do deconstruct their actions learn their
playbook and follow in the footsteps
that they've already made since their
actions led to your desired outcome
chances are that following the same
Playbook will at least help you to make
substantial progress in the right
direction don't change plans don't chase
after shortcuts just trust the process
and put your hours in the truth is most
plans are good enough plans if you just
stick with them for long enough where
most people fail or slow down in life is
they begin a plan and then decide to
change it partway through we got rich
because we were dumb enough to believe
everything we read in business books we
committed fully and it turns out those
people were
right number three you double the daily
effort for eight times s the outcome no
matter how dumb you are how poor you are
how unmotivated if you just double the
volume of daily effort you should see at
least a 50% increase in your results but
if you're really smart if you're excited
and you begin to acquire the right tools
if you double the effort something weird
happens the outcome doesn't double it's
increased four to eight times in the
medium term why because you have less
time to be distracted to waste your
resources on crap that doesn't contri to
your future effort compounds when you
reinvest the extra income you acquire
tools that now give you the same output
per hour as before but in only half the
time if you double your effort daily it
won't be long until you double your
hourly output double the output and
double the time you're now making
progress four times faster when you
approach life with this amount of volume
you'll learn twice as fast as everybody
else because you're encountering more
situations that is how doubling your
effort gets 8X the
results number four you remind yourself
what you run from and what you're
running toward just focusing on the
first three numbers on this list is
enough to get you some real progress
you'll see it in your bottom line and in
your bank account because you've made
some progress you'll begin to slow down
when you slow down Temptation Creeps in
shiny objects will try to lure you away
from from your past getting back on the
horse is a lot harder than never getting
off that horse in the first place so you
need an easy and effective way to
self-motivate that's when you remind
yourself what the big goal is what
you're running toward you visualize what
your life will be like when you get
there the impact it'll have on your life
and into the lives of those you love
this gives an initial push but not
enough to get you lift off to drive this
home you dig deep into yourself and you
realize what you're running from what
your life would be like if you don't
take action that everything you know you
can become will never come to be you
will live your life with the regret and
disappointment of never becoming what
you knew you could be your peers will
move on your Idols will get further and
further and you will sink into
mediocrity as a result you'll become
bitter and angry at the world finding
excuses and blaming everyone else but
you're yourself your family and friends
will start to resent you for it and
you'll find it painful to just be you
spiraling down in that case the only
value you'll add to the world is that
your children will grow up with your
failure as an example of what not to do
in life that's what you're running from
that's the difference between getting
back to work to make your dreams happen
and simply not taking action at
all number five win the day before the
day starts
now there are two kinds of people in the
world those who Wing the day and those
who plan the day those who plan the day
outperform the rest on every metric
possible by a massive margin okay those
who plan the day are more productive
they get more done in a day they're
exponentially more likely to find
long-term success in their professional
and personal life they're better
adjusted and emotionally stable they're
less likely to be depressed anxious or
feel lost and they achieve much higher
levels of work life balance what
planning does is remove friction from
your life so here's a simple example
it's easier to go for a run in the
morning if you get your shoes and outfit
ready by the door the night before if
everything is set up for you to just do
it you're less likely to chicken out or
find an excuse not to this is your
routine and the discipline to schedule
the day the night before is a game Cher
you no longer have to fight against that
little voice in your head because once
you're out that door you might as well
run right you might as well work out you
might as well get some work done you
might as well read or write those pages
start with focusing your mind if your
mind knows what it should focus on that
little voice quiets down a lot so do the
hardest thing you can early in the day
if you can already win the day before
11:00 a.m. everything else you do will
be extra progress this is called eating
the Frog you know what actually moves
the needle forward and what are just
maintainers uploading a new product to
your store is superior to just checking
in on the numbers or answering emails
pay off your dues before everything else
the experts call this time blocking
where you begin to segment your day in
time slots specifically dedicated to
action items we start every day with a
coffee and a daily alock session and
immediately after we jump head first
into the highest priority task that
we've selected the day before this is
how we win the morning in the first half
of our day by the time 1 p.m. rolls
around we've already shipped or
delivered what most people would
consider a day's worth of work from 1:
to 6:00 p.m. anything that we weren't
able to ship or get done will just
accelerate our progress and we can give
it our Focus because we no longer have
the pressure of the big thing looming
over us 6 to 8 is family time
religiously for over a decade before we
plann the day and week before
the biggest problem is you'll be so
productive that at some point you'll
struggle to find high priority tasks to
tackle in the first half of the day you
can make yourself happier by keeping a
gratitude journal and reflecting on what
you're learning learn specific skills or
techniques from experts who've spent
their entire lives perfecting their
craft it takes 15 minutes in the morning
to get all of this set up in a way where
you dramatically increase your chances
of success so much so that we created
the only app designed to do just that
go to alo.com slapp right now and
download it every morning when you have
your coffee or tea open up the app and
go through it for 15 minutes listen to
The Daily alux write down four lines in
your journal for people who just want
the benefits of journaling without all
the nonsense and then get back to work
hundreds of thousands of people are
living proof that this app has been a
game Cher for them so it's time you did
the same step one download the app and
create an account step two scan the QR
code on screen for an exclusive 25% off
the yearly plan and commit to a year of
focus step three use it every morning
with your coffee and just see how much
faster you're making progress in life
this is an investment you will not
regret number six have an action bias
and a speed bias action beats intellect
when the clock is ticking you'll learn
more by doing than by thinking speed
need amplifies learning to this extent
done is better than perfect done builds
momentum perfectionism keeps you in the
same place the path to success is paved
by action not
hesitation successful people all operate
with a sense of urgency this is
important even if they have to
artificially manufacture it if you make
yourself believe that your life depends
on you getting things done your output
changes okay speed thrives on
imperfection the urgency you bring
defines how quickly you'll transform
your life successful people have a speed
bias we learned an incredible lesson
from a billionaire mentor of ours when
we were discussing growth goals for our
company and telling them about our
three-year road map he listened quietly
thought it through and then asked the
question that has changed the way we
work what would it take to make all of
that happen in only 6 months this forced
us to think radically different we would
need more people more money and to
accelerate the speed of learning by
failing faster speed might be expensive
but it's worth it when it saves you time
for as time passes the opportunity you
have right now might not be available 2
years from now this is why Silicon
Valley companies raise money so they can
make 10 years worth of progress in 18
months and mitigate that risk of the
opportunity disappearing before you have
a chance to
act number seven you stop looking at
others or after others as long as you
live you'll always be a race of one
you're racing against the failure that
you could become if you stopped running
it's not about anyone else they don't
matter you don't need the approval of
your peers because they are not your
peers you need to build a sense for
distractions an ability to identify them
for what they are to untrained eye these
might present themselves as
opportunities but most opportunities are
just distractions in Disguise okay once
you stop comparing yourself to others
you need the bandwidth to focus on
yourself you get it by taking your
bandwidth back from the people who took
it in the first place a sinking ship can
save no one so fix your damn ship okay
make yourself strong let them carry
their own weight for a while and then
save them when you're ready if you don't
they'll just drown you number eight you
don't quit things at
60% so you start something you put in a
couple of weeks and you made some
progress you're 50 to 60% into something
that might change the game for you at
which point for whatever reason you quit
all the effort you've put in is now lost
the ROI on that time effort and money
invested is zero okay not
sure keep lying to yourself that you've
actually learned a lot but you haven't
have you unless you ship it go live with
it or stick with it you've wasted the
opportunity and it kills us when this
happens you find a potential great
higher the first interview goes well the
same with the second or the third when
things are about to get serious you
unearth a massive red flag that you know
makes them a bad fit long term so you
end it all of that time and effort put
in is w Ed the only thing you can do now
is to try again until you're able to get
to that Finish Line whatever you do
don't make it a habit of quitting at 60%
or else you'll always be stuck right
where you
are number nine get off the platforms
you don't need the news or distractions
there's nothing for you on Instagram or
Facebook Twitter TV twitch or the black
and orange your life will be measurably
better without you trapped in the new cycle
cycle
the secret to speed isn't more effort
it's less noise removing that Doom
scrolling from your life will reveal
just how much of unproductive time
you're used to wasting with nothing to
show for it very soon you'll realize
you've been monetizing or at least
enjoying less than 20% of your available
time everything else was just you idling
away with no
purpose number 10 if someone else knows
how to get there faster pay them to show
you how to do it you accelerate a lot
when you go from hiring people that you
can grow to hiring people who are
already grown you can go from hiring
cheaply to hiring for specific expertise
per unit of time you're getting
substantially more with the lad they
don't need to be employees they just
need to have the expertise to see the
things you're missing that's what
experts are
for they've done exactly what you're
trying to figure out so they seen all
the mistakes that you're about to make
firsthand we used to pay $5,000 a month
to a mentor that could be a second set
of eyes looking at the decisions we were
making just so we could increase our hit
rate we realized just how valuable this
is and how most people have nowhere near
that kind of money to have someone show
them the way like we did so we started
paying experts a lot of money to share
the same kind of insights they've
learned the hard way with a closed
community of subscribers to the alux app
for just $1.99 a year you get access to
thousands of coaching sessions from the
smartest people in the world instead of
hiring an executive coach for thousands
of dollars a month get the alock app and
you'll have a portfolio of teachers
coaching you and you know we're not
supposed to tell you this because it's
kind of bad for business but if you sign
up for just one month at
$29.99 you'll still have access to the
entire library of content to see if it's
right for you by far it'll be the best
money you spend today so download the
app at alux.com slapp and get yourself a
subscription we'll see you on the
inside number 11 you remove your
expectations of instant achievement and
no matter what you trust the process the
first week you hit the gym you see no
results right you get tired everything
hurts there's no sixpack in sight but
you know that if you just keep this up 6
to 12 months from now things will start
to look whole lot better not only will
you be consistent in a process that you
know works if you just keep going it'll
bleed into the rest of your life you'll
start eating better so you don't
compromise the effort you're making
you'll sleep better feel better your
brain will be sharper before you know it
it'll feel as natural as if it was
always a part of your schedule once you
see results you'll be addicted you'll
start optimizing your workouts and
perfect your techniques you'll make real
progress and and know when you've had a
great day the exact same thing happens
in business and life stop dismissing
something as if it's not working just
because you went to the gym once and you
don't have a six-pack doesn't work that
way okay put your head down and do it
daily check back in in 6 months and then
see how you're
doing number 12 you build and constantly
optimize the machine that gets you what
you want there are two ways to get from
point A to point B one you walk that's
what having a job usually is two you
build a machine that takes you there if
you don't want to go far walking will do
the trick just fine but if your goals
are beyond that Horizon over there you
need to build something depending on
your goals it'll be a bike a car a train
a plane or a rocket a bike is like a
bakery where you're the main Chef a car
is a small business where you have a
handful of employees with you a train is
a big Regional business a plane is an
international business and a rocket is a
unicorn that changes the world now every
category has been previously built by
somebody else so you know it's possible
and you have an understanding of how
difficult building each part will be
what we're about to tell you is
incredibly important okay so pay
attention in your early days of building
your machine you'll feel like you're not
making much progress actually the people
walking will be further along than you
are but once the wheels are mounted on
your thing the engine is running and
you've got the steering wheel in your
hands you'll pass them in the blink of
an eye okay in the long term the worst
car will still get you further than the
best walk once you've got a machine
built small tweaks to it will make a lot
of difference you get the right tires
the right kind of fuel you swap out the
parts that don't work the way they
should keep optimizing the little things
for big results recently we've increased
the conversion from our funnel from 5%
to 6% by just tweaking the onboarding
process 1% might not seem like much to
you but it's actually a 20% jump in
people trying our product it was a lot
easier for us to optimize our
conversions by 1% than it would have
been to increase the volume of people
hearing about the product by another 20%
plus if you do the optimizations first
the returns stack up on top of all future
future
efforts number 13 twice as long but done
by others is better than doing it
yourself one of the biggest mistakes
amateurs make is they think progress is
linear like a straight line from point A
to point B yeah okay not really in
reality progress is more
three-dimensional and you measure it in
volume and volume can be layered so to
use the prior example this is what
walking or riding a bike is like instead
of doing that this is how you can make
the same kind of progress in a fraction
of the time and by the way this is
called aat chart and this is how you're
supposed to track all of your ongoing
efforts in your company amateurs will
say you can't juggle more tasks at the
same time but the pros know they can
hire people to do the boring Parts while
they work on those tasks that can't be
outsourced you don't need to be a genius
to move fast you just need to Outsource
wisely progress that you don't have to
create yourself is the Holy Grail of
growth once you find it you will never go
go
back number 14 you surround yourself
with faster Runners your heart sets the
pace you're moving slowly because you're
surrounded by slow Runners even if
you're faster than your current Circle
you're still leaving a lot of
availability on the table the fastest
way to level up is to join a group of
faster runners in the business world
it's the people who make substantially
more money than you just by being in
their Circle your pace will improve
you'll see how they operate the systems
they built and how they move they'll
force you to keep up with them and as a
result your output and focus will shift
in life it's always better to be the
poorest house in a rich neighborhood
than the richest house in a poor one
you'll work harder your kids will have
better friends and the quality of your
life will be objectively
better and number 15 you learn to surf
instead of swimming against the current
waves are inevitable some people never
get in the water because of them and
others well they learn how to surf those
waves swimming against the current will
require incredible effort and you'll
make very little progress not to mention
it'll be exhausting and unsustainable
even in the medium term choose your
entry points carefully you don't want to
go all in on selling newspapers or black
and white TVs in the modern day the old
way of doing it is an elevator going
down you want to be where the puck is
headed how fast you make progress
depends on your ability to navigate your
current reality and distinguish between
the two a great sailor learns to read
the sky and the water use every modern
tool at your disposal to predict the
weather and position yourself for
Success when the wind blows you just
adjust your sails to give you an extra
boost so you get there faster but never
rely on the winds or the current alone
to get you all the way to the end
because when there's no wind you better
start rowing this video was filled with
gems and aha moments for those who know
how to listen so which one of these do
you think will have an immediate impact
on your life let us know in the comments
and you stuck with us until the very end
of this long video and you know you've
earned a well-deserved bonus today's
bonus is the biggest obstacle to speed
is thinking that you have more time this
sense of later that we all have it's a
mirage you don't have as much time as
you think you do here's an Insight you
might not know but will realize when you
get older as time passes how much time
you have shrinks both in the sense that
you're closer to death but also
available time to do things life fills
up as you get older small obligations
little tasks varied commitments all take
away slices of time that you have to
deploy toward your goal the time will
never be right telling yourself you're
waiting for the right time is the
biggest trap most people fall into the
truth is you'll never have more time
than you do right now the only resource
You Have To Build A Better Tomorrow is
right now if this entire concept made
sense to you write the word now in the
comments let's see how many of you
realize you don't have as much time to
build the life of your dreams and are
committed to operating with a sense of
urgency until you get it we salute you
