Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
“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.

Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Making more friends is a goal.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Is it wrong of me to feel uncomfortable that my friend thinks my brother is hot?
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Procrastinates a lot.
What I need from you?
Hangs out with loser friends.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
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.

If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Why am I so tired of seeing homeless people all over the place?
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.

Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
How has Donald Trump turned the Taylor Swift endorsement into a win for him?
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
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.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Ask yourself:
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.
Does not procrastinate.
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.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
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.
