An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Does not procrastinate.
Is there anything wrong with me because I'm still single?
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Procrastinates a lot.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
What is the definite integral of x^x from 0 to 2?
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.

Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Has anyone tried bestiality and been caught?
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
“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.
That's it for today.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
What are the most extreme examples of hypocrisy?
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Making more friends is a goal.
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.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
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.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
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.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
What I need from you?
What are some of your shocking stories?
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.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
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.
