Are you making progress?

There is no difference between watching porn and consuming business content as long as you...

Are you watching Self-improvement videos?

Are you listening to business podcasts?

Are you studying what the best workout routine is?

While you’re consuming all of these videos, podcasts, and articles, you release dopamine. It feels rewarding imagining yourself being the best version of yourself, having a business, and getting in shape.

Do you know what the difference between watching porn and consuming all of this content is?

None.

Both release dopamine.

Both feel rewarding.

Both make no progress.

You believe that you have made progress, although there was no step taken. What does consuming all of the content give you if you never use it. You only make a difference between these two types of consumption if you’re taking action.

6 months ago, I was mentally masturbating for at least 6 months until I realized something needed to change. I wanted to change my life. All I did was watch those videos:

“How you can make $10k/month in 90 days.”

“How to live a fulfilling life”

“33 Habit tier list” 

The problem was I was only watching them. I never took action. Nothing changed for me besides that I was thinking that I made progress. I was stuck, stuck in the cycle of mentally masturbating all day.

Then I hoped my first time on a sales for a program. The program teaches you how to make $10k/month guaranteed however long it takes. It costs $3000. I paid because I was confident that I could make it back as long as I stuck to it.

This was the moment I realized that I had to take action because I wanted to make my money back. Now I had a strong purpose to work on my goal of becoming financially free.

Since then I learned 10x as much as before although it was the same amount of time.

Sometimes paying a high price for something motivates you more than any goal or motivational video could.

That’s why I believe paying a high price for something you want to achieve makes a lot of sense because you have a bigger purpose and more drive.

But you don’t need it.

If you want to spend years mentally masturbating, go ahead and keep watching these videos.

I hope you have a day full of action!
