WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.720 The biggest problem any of us face when it comes to becoming successful 00:00:04.800 --> 00:00:07.360 is not not knowing what to do. 00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:09.360 It's actually 00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:10.400 doing it. 00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:12.000 Doing the hard work. 00:00:12.945 --> 00:00:28.310 A lot of us know exactly how to make our lives better. Know that we should go to the gym. We know that we should sleep hours. We know the hard work that we've been putting off that needs to get done today. But there's something in our mind that goes, that's not fun. That's not rewarding. That has delayed gratification. 00:00:28.310 --> 00:00:47.305 I'm not gonna get any dopamine from that right now, so I'm not gonna do it. And you end up in this cycle where you are stuck in your life. You were stuck doing the same things over and over again. You know you want to change, but for some reason, you just can't do the things long enough. You just can't stay in the game long enough. You you do seven days and then you 00:00:47.945 --> 00:00:54.345 pick up the booze or cigarettes or the porn or the video games again and you go back to that instant hit of dopamine. 00:00:55.260 --> 00:00:56.780 And all of this runs 00:00:57.020 --> 00:01:01.740 off of the dopamine system in the brain. Dopamine is the pursuit chemical, 00:01:01.900 --> 00:01:06.220 the pursuit of greatness. When you pursue things, when you go and do exercise, 00:01:06.220 --> 00:01:11.315 when you complete a task in your business, when you go and do pretty much anything 00:01:11.475 --> 00:01:12.995 that is the pursuit of 00:01:13.395 --> 00:01:15.635 greatness or the pursuit of a high, 00:01:15.875 --> 00:01:22.035 it releases dopamine, which we are addicted to. Now the problem is there is things that are good that release dopamine, 00:01:22.195 --> 00:01:35.310 things that are bad that release dopamine. The things that are good that release dopamine normally take time and effort to achieve. The things that are bad that release dopamine are normally very quick and easy to achieve high dopamine, but with no reward, no real world reward, 00:01:35.550 --> 00:02:02.730 just the fake dopamine. Things like alcohol, drugs, video games, porn, scrolling, all those things. So this video is how to hack your dopamine to actually crave hard work, to want to do the work. Because if you want to do it, then you will do it. And if you don't want to do it, you've experienced many times, you will not do the work. And the reason I'm making this video is because I am an addict of a major scale. I have an incredibly addictive personality, and all an addictive personality is 00:02:02.890 --> 00:02:04.170 is a dopaminergic 00:02:04.170 --> 00:02:04.970 personality 00:02:04.970 --> 00:02:05.210 type, 00:02:05.865 --> 00:02:11.705 which means that your baseline level of dopamine is fairly low, but you get massive spikes 00:02:11.945 --> 00:02:15.945 from trivial things. You get massive spikes from pursuit. 00:02:16.265 --> 00:02:23.850 So you feel on a day to day basis, and a lot of you might be like me, I feel on a day to day basis very low until 00:02:24.010 --> 00:02:28.970 I do something to increase my dopamine, which means I'm in this perpetual chase. 00:02:29.130 --> 00:02:38.285 I'm in this addictive chase. That chase can be, I drank a drink, I feel good, dopamine's been released, oh, the drink's gone. Drink a drink again tomorrow, drink alcohol, 00:02:38.605 --> 00:02:44.045 and that cycle continues. Or it can be, I've been to the gym, I've released dopamine, I feel great, I need to go to gym tomorrow. 00:02:44.285 --> 00:02:47.805 I did something in my business, it feels great, I made a video, it feels great, I need to do it tomorrow. 00:02:48.390 --> 00:02:51.430 The act of hacking the dopamine system is tailoring 00:02:51.430 --> 00:02:55.910 what you get your dopamine from when you have an addictive personality 00:02:55.910 --> 00:02:57.990 because this addictive personality 00:02:58.150 --> 00:02:59.670 is a superpower. 00:03:00.150 --> 00:03:01.830 It is what creates 00:03:01.830 --> 00:03:02.310 obsession, 00:03:02.885 --> 00:03:05.365 and obsession is what creates success 00:03:06.005 --> 00:03:09.845 inside of your life. You become a task seeking missile. 00:03:09.925 --> 00:03:37.605 Your entire life is I must wake up complete task complete task complete task complete task. Do thing. Do thing. Do thing. Really me. Really stoke me. There's so many people out there that are like this that just rip on video games, that just fucking love their chuff and their vape, that love partying harder than anyone else, and they don't realize because no one's ever explained it to them in this way. They don't realize that they have the seeds of greatness inside of them if they can simply control their urges 00:03:37.925 --> 00:03:42.245 and put it towards the right thing. So when we look at the dogman the 00:03:42.485 --> 00:03:42.965 dogman 00:03:43.445 --> 00:03:44.485 dogmanergic 00:03:44.485 --> 00:03:45.285 personality, 00:03:45.285 --> 00:03:49.750 I want you to know that you're not broken. I don't think I am. I think it's a superpower. I've got ADHD. 00:03:49.830 --> 00:03:51.030 I'm a bit hyper. 00:03:51.270 --> 00:04:07.505 I like it. I have energy all the time on a complete task. It's perfect. I'm a task seeking missile. Send me out there in the business world. Boom. Boom. Boom. Getting it done. Just don't drink when you're a person like me because you also find that very fun and the highs and lows of that. So you have to tailor it. So what happens? 00:04:07.905 --> 00:04:09.505 You can't remove the drive. 00:04:09.905 --> 00:04:24.700 This is the way you are, and you need to understand this. I didn't understand this for a while. I didn't understand why I'm that person that can't relax, why I'm that person that's always thinking, why I'm that person that can't put down the bottle when other people seem to be able to, when people can go out for two drinks, but I can't. I have to have 15. 00:04:25.205 --> 00:04:37.205 Why is that? And why does that lead to other things? And why am I chasing things in my life so much for that high? Why do I then need to go and get on a sport bike? Why do I wanna jump out of a plane? It's all dopaminergic personality. It's very easy to monitor 00:04:37.605 --> 00:04:40.565 and understand yourself when you know this. So you take alcohol 00:04:41.390 --> 00:04:46.990 and the dopamine you get from that, and that becomes training, and you become obsessed with your training. 00:04:47.470 --> 00:04:55.870 And and most of the people that are obsessed with the gym have a dopaminergic personality, and rather than get hooked on a vape or a video game, they're hooked on the gym and they're released from gym. 00:04:57.225 --> 00:04:58.025 Gambling. 00:04:58.585 --> 00:05:02.425 If you're obsessed with gambling, Max upstairs won't mind me saying this, 00:05:03.305 --> 00:05:05.065 who's my videographer, 00:05:05.305 --> 00:05:16.160 uh, and works with me on a lot of things inside the business, my also my best friend from since he was about five years old, playing the same football team. He's upstairs now. Max loves or loved gambling 00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:19.040 when we were growing up. Max's a big, big gambler. 00:05:19.280 --> 00:05:30.015 We've had a bit of a problem with gambling. He's now taken that gambling addiction. We live in Dubai. No gambling at all. We previously lived in Thailand. No gambling at all. Hasn't been able to do that. He's addicted to business and sales. 00:05:30.815 --> 00:05:32.095 Does sales for me. 00:05:32.495 --> 00:05:36.415 Does a lot of business. Sales for me. Makes good money. He's addicted to that. The same 00:05:37.290 --> 00:05:42.570 urge for him, his highest addiction, he's now addicted to the game of business, the gamble of business. 00:05:42.970 --> 00:05:47.690 It's the same thing. It's just more predictable. The risk's far less than in gambling. Scrolling, 00:05:47.850 --> 00:05:59.175 what most of you will do. You really, really will see a massive uptick in your life and the quality of your life if you turn scrolling to creating. If every time you're you you get that dopamine from posting 00:05:59.255 --> 00:06:01.575 rather than that dopamine from consuming, 00:06:01.975 --> 00:06:05.895 there's a period of time that we're in right now that if you build a personal brand that is 00:06:06.590 --> 00:06:11.310 unique to you as a person and sell something from that that helps other people, 00:06:11.710 --> 00:06:15.950 that's that can be life changing money in here. That being said, if you're into that stuff, 00:06:16.430 --> 00:06:24.255 you wanna meet me in person, I'm going to America again, And I cannot fucking wait because majority of our audience based on the YouTube analytics 00:06:24.255 --> 00:06:25.615 is from America. 00:06:25.775 --> 00:06:29.135 So hello, yanks. You're the best, and I love America. 00:06:29.295 --> 00:06:30.575 And I'm going to Miami. 00:06:30.655 --> 00:06:52.805 I'm doing a Miami mastermind two day event. Super high level, guys. If you're making no money at all right now, this probably isn't the event for you. We'll do something live. We'll do something online online coming up that you can go to. But for higher level guys that wanna meet me in person, learn personal brand at the highest level, and be in a room of a $100,000,000 in net worth and be connected with some very high level people and do some cool things in Miami for a couple of days 00:06:53.125 --> 00:07:16.145 in July, just go and book a call down below. Up to you. Go and have a look, see what it's all about. This is a life changer. Go on my Instagram if you wanna see testimonials, but anyone who's come to our events, life changing. We change people's lives at our events. We change the way you think. We change the people you're connected to. That's literally most of the time all you need to completely get to the next level in life. So that's an option. But anyway, back to this. So dopaminergic 00:07:16.145 --> 00:07:17.105 personality, 00:07:17.105 --> 00:07:18.865 you must change these for these 00:07:20.945 --> 00:07:24.065 because you can't remove the drive. How do we do this? 00:07:24.865 --> 00:07:33.000 How do we start to use our dopamine strategically? The whole point of this video is how to hack your dopamine to crave hard work. Well, we do this through 00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:35.640 a dopamine detox. 00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:41.640 We have to reset our baseline because if our baseline is you're doing coke and hookers, 00:07:42.295 --> 00:07:51.735 then they're they're pretty interesting things. And they were a fairly high release of dopamine from doing both of those things. Sitting down at a computer and writing a PDF 00:07:51.735 --> 00:07:54.775 is gonna seem pretty dull and boring in comparison, 00:07:54.855 --> 00:08:02.810 which is why you need your dopamine detox. Dopamine detox is essentially resetting the baseline, taking away all dopamine that's released for free 00:08:03.130 --> 00:08:11.610 for a period of time, deliberately feeling shit for seven days so that when you sit back down your computer, you can work. I use this strategically in my life all the time 00:08:12.355 --> 00:08:23.635 inside of my work. If I've got a big week of work coming up, I don't have fun over the weekend. Because if I'm having loads of fun on the weekend, if I'm out with friends, if I'm doing various different things, I'm eating great food at restaurants, 00:08:23.795 --> 00:08:25.155 I'm overstimulating, 00:08:25.155 --> 00:08:31.770 my dopamine's high, I'm doing all this cool stuff, I'm meeting women, I'm having sex. Fantastic. Boom. Monday comes. 00:08:32.170 --> 00:08:39.450 That's why Monday feels down. That's why Mondays are blue because the dopamine peaks on the weekend and then Monday feels it pales by comparison. 00:08:39.690 --> 00:08:48.005 However, if you did a dopamine detox Saturday, Sunday, they'd feel a little low. Monday would feel electric, and that's what makes you crave the hard work. So how do you do this? 00:08:48.565 --> 00:08:54.405 No sugar. Boom. Free dopamine. Get rid of it. Boom. No caffeine. Boom. No nicotine. 00:08:54.565 --> 00:08:55.525 No TV. 00:08:55.685 --> 00:08:57.445 No phone. No music. 00:08:57.930 --> 00:09:20.095 No human contact if you wanna do it on hard mode. If you want an absolutely goated mode, do a silent retreat. There's these silent retreats in Thailand, other places around the world. You go fucking weak in silence. There's no phone, no nothing, no speaking bland food. It will reset your level so much. You'll feel depressed as fuck whilst you're there. You'll come out with mega energy. This is what people do at the highest level 00:09:20.415 --> 00:09:22.815 in order to make the work feel fun, 00:09:23.215 --> 00:09:34.420 to get enjoyment from the thing that brings real success and real life changes. That's what you want. You wanna be addicted to the thing that actually changes your life, the real life video game, the business, 00:09:34.580 --> 00:09:39.860 the upgrading your stats in the gym. You don't wanna be addicted to the fake world of vapes, 00:09:40.275 --> 00:09:43.475 cigarettes, video games, porn, all of that. It's not real. 00:09:43.955 --> 00:09:59.870 So what you do is you reset that system. Do seven days. You go to the gym, but you don't listen any music. If you want something to do in your spare time, the only caveat to this, would say, is if you go on a walk, because you're you're gonna have a lot of time, like no music, no phone, no TV, 00:10:00.270 --> 00:10:04.750 no nothing, like no active scrolling. If you use your phone for work, but no, like, scrolling 00:10:05.310 --> 00:10:11.695 or social media. The one caveat would be you could probably listen to a podcast. Go check out One Way Ticket by yours truly. 00:10:12.015 --> 00:10:22.330 My podcast will help you a lot. You can check that out. It's linked under all my videos. It's audio only on Spotify and Apple Music. When you're going on your walks, getting your steps in, listen to a pod, 00:10:22.730 --> 00:10:24.970 that'll help you. But all of this stuff, 00:10:25.210 --> 00:10:27.290 taking all of this out, you'll have a shit week. 00:10:27.610 --> 00:10:35.450 Your week will feel fucking flat. But when you come back to Monday and you add in a coffee and you sit down at your computer for the first stimulating thing you've done in a computer in a week, 00:10:36.355 --> 00:10:38.915 your work is going to feel fun. Now 00:10:40.035 --> 00:10:42.595 use dopamine detox strategically 00:10:44.035 --> 00:10:46.035 in your life for work sprints. 00:10:46.355 --> 00:10:54.440 The problem that comes from dopamine detox is when people get addicted to dopamine detox, Like, they monk mode this shit way too hard and they never live. 00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:56.760 They never ever live. Strategic 00:10:56.760 --> 00:11:13.205 thing. You're like, okay. This week, I'm gonna take a bit easier. I know about the dopamine system. I know if I do all this fun shit work's gonna be tougher on Monday. I'm gonna craft it. But then sometimes do go out and have fun with your friends. That doesn't mean alcohol. It doesn't mean smoking, but social contact, hanging out, listening to music. 00:11:13.685 --> 00:11:15.525 You can do those things, but 00:11:16.005 --> 00:11:38.775 moderate it. And just understand that in some periods of life, you're gonna need to have more energy, more focus for the work that really matters. And if you're struggling to do it, have a dopamine detox, sit and look at a wall for twenty minutes a day, read a book. All these things retrain your dopamine. They retrain your focus. It all adds up into the game of success. Now a little bonus for you, the dopamine supplement stack. 00:11:39.175 --> 00:11:45.255 This is exactly what I use to increase my dopamine because I got addicted to snus. 00:11:45.575 --> 00:11:47.415 And so you saw in a video before, 00:11:47.975 --> 00:11:49.735 I was addicted to the snus before. 00:11:50.270 --> 00:11:53.070 The little nicotine pods that you put in your lip, 00:11:53.470 --> 00:12:03.150 and they are fucked because they release a shit ton of dopamine at a high level. I'll give you a little thesis on snus because a of people are interested in this. Snus takes your 00:12:03.470 --> 00:12:09.015 body energy, your fucking go into the gym body energy, turns it into mind energy. 00:12:09.415 --> 00:12:16.295 So I could sit down when I was on SNUS, could sit down for ten hours at a computer and edit and stay in the house, and I'd be happy as fucking Larry. 00:12:16.870 --> 00:12:19.910 I'll be happy as fuck just completing tasks on a computer. 00:12:20.230 --> 00:13:02.475 Now I don't do SNES. I can't do that. I can do one or two hours on a computer, then I have to move, then I have to get somewhere. Personally, I think that's way healthier for me. That's what it does. Now when I came off this, SNES, focus was near on impossible because I'm using fake dopamine every single day in order to get that dopamine release. This is the stack that I used to fix my brain and my dopamine levels when I came off nurse. I still use it to this day to keep dopamine high and keep me focused and keep me doing my work. Number one, vitamin d three plus k two, ten thousand IUs to twenty thousand IUs a day. I must let you know I'm not a doctor, in case you didn't know. So do any of this your own risk. This isn't medical advice. This is opinions from me. Can You go and give your opinions in the comments. It's a free country. 00:13:02.955 --> 00:13:06.555 L tyrosine, big fucking deal, l tyrosine. 00:13:06.795 --> 00:13:15.530 One of the precursors to dopamine. The VIT d three is very important. You need to make sure you're getting that in, but at your own risk. L tyrosine, one thousand milligrams daily. 00:13:16.410 --> 00:13:22.330 Lacuna prurine. So I don't use this all the time, but it has something called l dopa inside of it. It's fairly potent. 00:13:22.570 --> 00:13:29.325 Take recommended dose of whatever supplement you decide to buy. This is a bit of a a hack for me. This is one that I'll use 00:13:29.805 --> 00:13:34.765 as a bonus. It's not a daily. I use the L tyrosine daily though. Then I've got peptides. 00:13:35.405 --> 00:13:46.670 So these three will sort out a lot of your dopamine in terms of stuff you can get from Amazon. And then obviously, I've been doing peptides. Now this is a new peptide that I've been taking. It's a c j c one two nine five plus ipamorelin. 00:13:47.070 --> 00:13:54.510 Pretty crazy peptide to be honest for growth hormone secretion, increasing growth hormone. Crazy hot flush after taking that in the evening. 00:13:55.165 --> 00:13:59.405 But what this does is it improves the dopamine infrastructure 00:13:59.405 --> 00:14:03.165 of your entire body with the increase of growth hormone. 00:14:03.485 --> 00:14:06.205 So I found myself to be in 00:14:06.285 --> 00:14:06.765 a good mood. 00:14:07.330 --> 00:14:09.170 I'm training ridiculously 00:14:09.170 --> 00:14:20.930 hard right now with the stack I'm currently on. I'll train in the gym, and then I'll run five k minimum a day, sometimes 10 k a day. For all the energy I've got, I'm just boom, boom, boom. And I'm waking up, no Doms, no soreness, 00:14:21.225 --> 00:14:24.505 training again the next day. So this has all been pretty interesting, 00:14:24.745 --> 00:14:28.185 this stack. The rest of my stack is BBC and TB five hundred. 00:14:28.505 --> 00:14:30.345 I'm taking GHKCU 00:14:30.345 --> 00:14:31.225 for skin. 00:14:31.705 --> 00:14:32.345 I'm taking 00:14:33.430 --> 00:14:34.390 d sip, 00:14:34.790 --> 00:14:44.550 delta sleep inducing peptide, something like that. Those are my stack at the moment, just so you know. Might have changed slightly since my last video, and then also the c j c plus ipamorelin. 00:14:44.550 --> 00:14:58.415 Great stack for me at the moment. Do your own risk. But that, my friends, is how to hack your dopamine to crave hard work. Don't worry that you're addicted. Become obsessed with the thing you wanna be good at. This is your dopamine supplement stack. 00:14:58.495 --> 00:15:01.855 This is how you detox over the next seven days. You go and do a detox, 00:15:02.340 --> 00:15:06.900 then you're gonna reset your dopamine, and it's going to make doing your work easier 00:15:06.900 --> 00:15:08.820 rather than harder. 00:15:09.220 --> 00:15:12.580 If you wanna come and meet me in Miami, book a call down below. 00:15:12.820 --> 00:15:14.020 See you on the next one, guys.
