now this first section we're going to talk a little bit about why we need a

habit and what a habit is so habits are especially important because a lot of

people find it very difficult to find motivation and what happens is is if you

don't need motivation and the habit is already there you will continue doing it

even when it's hard so for example you might brush your teeth nobody really

needs motivation to brush their teeth because if you've been doing it for

thirty years you just know that's what you do before you go to bed and it's the

same thing you can train yourself to read a book you can train yourself to go

for a six mile bike ride when you wake up there's all kinds of habits that you

can start and implement that will help you become more successful later on in

your life and some of those you can even start cashing out within a couple weeks

of starting so habits are especially important because we cannot rely on

motivation because motivation will go away

you know you get motivated by reading in a book or you get motivated by trying a

new sport because it's fun and it's interactive and it gets you going and

then after a while maybe three months maybe six months down the road the

motivation goes away and you start to stall on your skill level and there's

just other aspects of learning something that you start to stall and you don't

love it as much and the motivation goes away and what happens is hopefully in

those three to six months that you started the activity or started putting

money into your bank account or started reading a book hopefully you have

developed habits so that when that motivation goes away you still have that

discipline and that discipline is in the form of a habit that every day when I

wake up I read 30 minutes or every day when I wake up I'm going to go for a 6

mile bike ride and over time they will compound and they will fuel your success

now the other side of the coin is you can have bad habits you can smoke three

cigarettes a day you can smoke half a pack a day that will also compound and

lead to the unsuccessful part of your life you know you'll have higher chances

of lung cancer your friends and family may not hang around you as often if you

have a smoking habit and in this course I will aim to help you identify all the

habits in your life and reverse-engineer them say is this going to help me to get

to where I want to go so the thing about discipline is not very many people want

to become disciplined and there's a reason behind that some guys said a

quote I don't remember who it is but basically it said what differentiates

successful people from the rest of people is not what they do when they

feel like but when they don't feel like it so

anyone can go to YouTube and learn how to start playing a piano we're playing a

guitar but what will happen is they will lose motivation and it will become hard

they'll be like oh I've learned six chords and now I don't feel like

learning anymore because I've learned the song that I wanted but what

differentiates them from someone who is super successful is the fact that

someone that is super successful has continued to learn more chords they

continue to progress and advance and challenge themselves in the cool thing

about habits is once they are formed once they are locked in the neural

pathways of your brain they start to turn really difficult things things that

you might struggle with into easier things for example you might struggle

working out everyday now if you recall Arnold Schwarzenegger he worked out all

the time but now that he's in his older age he finds that it's way easier how

much easier do you think it is for him to work out that it is for someone who

has never worked out before or what about reading the more you read the

better you get at it so once you have that habit formed it'll eventually

compound and you'll read faster and you'll read more and then by the time

you're 60 or 70 imagine how much knowledge you can accumulate just by

reading 30 minutes a day so this is why we have to have habits in our lives

because there's a lot of important aspects that we don't think about and

another thing about habits is is that they're really subconscious which means

we don't think about them consciously you know you don't think about you know

when you're driving to work that route that you take every day and you've taken

for the last six years you might not even think about oh I need to turn my

blinker on here and then I need a turn you just you automatically it's a habit

your brain has established that neural pathway and that's what you do when

you're that's the intersection and if you can if you can copy and paste

basically that section of your brain into other habits like reading working

out trying to find new investments in your health wealth love and happiness

and just understanding what a habit is reverse engineering it and using it to

boost your success that's what the objective of this course is so one last

thing about habits is that they harden like concrete over time and they

compound and I think I mentioned this earlier but for example let's say you

have three dollars every day and you put that into an investment account so three

dollars every day no for a while it's going to start getting tough because

three dollars every day you might not even notice it out of your checking

account but if your can system ly taking three dollars you know

not buying that cup of coffee or not buying that candy bar and taking that

three dollars and putting it into an investment account it will start to

compound it'll become a habit you won't think about it but the results of it

will definitely be shown if you start at age 20 and you end at age 63 dollars

everyday you will have an account worth over seven hundred thousand dollars now

another example is alcohol if you have alcohol every day from the age that you

are 22 the age you are 60 there are going to be some unimaginable effects in

your health wealth love and happiness aspects of your life habits can be

positive but they can also be negative and in the next sections we're going to

talk about identifying bad habits how to get rid of them how to replace them with

better habits and how to create new habits stand alone so from this video

you need to understand that when motivation goes away you have to have

discipline and discipline manifests itself as they have it so the more

habits you have the more successful positive accelerating habits you have in

your life you will boost your success but it works the other way too because

you also have to get rid of your negative habits and if you do both of

these if you build positive habits and get rid of negative habits over time you

will see your life start to flourish you will see many positive changes in your

life and things that were once difficult will start to become easy because you'll

understand your part of the brain that has to do with habits you'll understand

the cue habit reward process and how you can implement that and how you can

implement that to create more habits so let's move on to the next section of

finding bad habits and trying to get rid of them
