In 5 years, YOU will still be the one making decisions. And if you keep your current habits, "YOU 2.0" will have big problems.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.

Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
“YOU 2.0” is like your future kid. It’s your duty to make decisions for him. It is wiser to marry a nice mom for your kid, not just a beautiful wife for yourself.

However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.

Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.

The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Porn blockers might help, but they won’t be as effective. And you know nudity isn’t just on Pornhub—it’s everywhere. Don’t joke with fire.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Does not procrastinate.
Cutting off WiFi at home for a month or giving your phone to a distant friend for a month (in exchange for a Nokia or simply nothing) is a system.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Hangs out with loser friends.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Procrastinates a lot.
Making more friends is a goal.

Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Losing 20kg is a goal.

How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
That's it for today.
PICK 1 important thing you want to quit or bring into your life in 2025. Think hard about a system that will make it impossible or inevitable.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Keep in mind that, there is always a system for any problem. You just need to be willing to think hard enough and BE WILLING TO MAKE SACRIFICES.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
