How does one succeed in life?

Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
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.
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.
Do you consider yourself pretty?
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):

First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
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.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Procrastinates a lot.

Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.

However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:

Do not set goals—set systems.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
“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.
Which genre of novels is most profitable to publish and why?
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
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.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
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.
