Living to your full potential is a goal.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):

Do not set goals—set systems.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Why do men choose to marry a plain Jane woman over a pretty woman?
“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.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.

First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
That's it for today.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.

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.

What I need from you?

Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
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.
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.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.

Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
