      I’d argue they’re different, although maybe definitions of discipline shift from person to person. Discipline seems to be more of a function of self control and organization while addiction is the obsession and passion.

    You're getting Dopamine from winning, therefore you're addicted.
    Its not a hard concept to understand, in the past I was highly addicted to my businesses as-well.
    I also was an ex-gamer who hit 6 figures, etc etc.
    I'd wake up everyday to tons of money in my account, it felt like a videogame, what isn't there to love?
    The hard part is doing the job when you aren't winning, or when you get used to the money.
    The hard part is relentless studying, refinement, etc, especially for those who can't hit rewards quickly.
    The opposite end of motivation is hating your life, if you hate your life badly enough, you'll change it.
    Everything I do now is raw discipline, I rarely get motivated now.
    I just know if I'm not winning, I'm losing.

    This really resonated with me. Thank you bro. I used to be addicted to videogames too spending at least 6 hours a day in front of a computer. I had nothing else going on in my life back then and all I wanted to do was be very good at this video game. I'd literally prioritize getting better at this game at the cost of sabotaging the relationship I had with my family and friends. I would show up for 5 minutes at the dinner table to quickly eat so I can go back to my pc. Fast forward 3-4 years later I now play video games maybe once or twice a year, trying to be better in university and get better grades, I'm in the best shape of my life, had my first heartbreak, tried making money online with different businesses, made great friends in university, and now have a much better relationship with my family, but yet, I don't have a clue what I truly want to do for a living. I need to find something I can be obsessed with again.

    This is an interesting take. Obviously gotta be careful with addiction- you don’t wanna become addicted to making money in a gambling sense… and you may have more talent than you realize. Right now you think it’s easy but that’s the definition of talent.
    I like the way you put it, but how to get addicted to something? It’s not easy for people to get addicted to something they don’t like doing. Usually addiction comes from a bad place like avoidance… look into addiction so you can be in control of your “talents” or discipline

    I've often thought about the parallels between video games and life. The idea that you play within this system, starting without knowing anything, where you figure out what works best for you and you do it over and over and over again, then you get good, then you get really good and get that natural game sense. It really is addiction, obsession, the ability to just keep at it until you get it. Great video.

    Just wanted to drop this in here, a lot of people don’t workout bc they think you have to do it all the time. You don’t, 2-3x a week is good enough honestly, eventually progress to 4 if you want but 2-3x a week is A. Better then NONE and B. Enough to see noticeable results. Everyday or even near everyday is not good as it leaves you little time to recover, people often overlook the recovery part which is very important too.

    I had this same realization about "being addicted" many years ago. That's what made me a successful UX Designer in my country. I would study day and night everyday for years and would talk to people about Design most of the time. Got a job, then climbed the ladder up to where I am now.
    The issue I'm facing is I want to do something else now, but I'm not living in my parents house anymore, I'm on my own. Also I have a lot more finantial obligations and social expectations to fulfill, so I can't picture myself being addicted enough to start something else from the bottom again. It would take many years to get where I am now finantially. And I don't have the energy to to start a side hustle, also I believe it would take double the time because I wouldn't be "addicted enough" if it was only a side hustle, you know? It's really unmotivating.
    It's like that "golden handcuffs" thing some people talk about here on TH-cam. I don't consider mine to be golden, maybe mine are silver ones, but the effect they have on me is the same anyway. Life is hard 😑

    This is a fresh perspective. Addiction has a bad rep. But if we think deeper, we are addicted to things that makes us feel good. If we can think of the goals we want to achieve in life as a form of addiction instead of work - which usually suggests hard work, it makes the struggles and failures along the way less scary. Thanks for sharing your realisation.

  • @richfff2683
    @richfff2683 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    i know this is semantics and im probably wrong, but i think a obsession would be a fit for this. It's because addiction has to do with outside forces while obsession is the internal reason of why you are doing it. There is no thinking with addiction you just want the thing that gives you dopamine and eventually it stop being fun, but then you just do it out of habit and it continues falls off. While obsession on the other hand comes from the reasoning and desires that exists internally that causes you to act, so even when the lows are low with a strong enough obsession you can soldier on until.

  • @JordanGreenYT
    @JordanGreenYT 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Everything you said is completely true. It's all about transferring your addiction into positive, productive outlets.
    Another thing I would add is that we, as men, tend to be more motivated by proving others wrong than by proving ourselves right. In this instance, a big part of "how" you were able to become addicted to business was the idea of proving your mom wrong. Whether you're aware of it or not, those backhanded comments that she made probably fueled that transition from video games/fantasy basketball/etc. to business.
    Truthfully, most people (especially men) who become very successful do it to get away from emotional and/or financial pain. My own journey was supercharged by a really bad heartbreak a few years ago.
    Just some food for thought 👍🏾

    I found obsession/addiction is what allows your mind to break free of others expectations because obsession/addictions gives you the sign-on bonus for drive, motivation, and to finally achieve that first little goal. You have 24 hours in your day, 6-8 hours of them needs to be sleep, addiction/obsession will know what to do with the rest of the day's hours, THEN, one day... it will feel like you got to where you wanted in way less time than you thought and now your obsession is finding the next move with zero, I mean ZERO mental strength. Because you just wired your mind to allow fight or flight for anything that gets in your way of the knowledge/XP you acquired for success. Side advice, be aware of any greedy traits and watch your behavior on how you react to new money. Money CAN be a drug disguised as a friend, don't enable it. I started a business 3 years ago, grossed over 700k and failed this year due to a different/worse addiction because of "ding ding ding", greed. Stay in your lane, build the bag.

    When money doesn't change you, those are the type of people you want to hang around with. Because they can teach you things for free that is worth more than your Gurus course!

    I can confirm that the amount of clarity I've gotten through your sharing of thoughts has been so much greater than any youtube "influencer" out there. you never hear a youtuber said "Well I dont know how I did it but, here's what I know" and share it. I have so much respect for it, I'm starting my youtube and freelance journey and I hope to get addicted to creating.

    Deamn this video really resonated with me. I just booted up mario kart wii after a long time and invited my friend over to play. He had spent countles of hours with the game when he was younger. I couldn’t win against him at all in the beginning. He was playing with the automatic setting so I realizes I had to learn how to drift. Then I watched many videos on youtube and played everyday just to learn the mechanics in depth. Now he hasn’t been able to beat me.
    I am starting a marketing business and it just clicked to me that if I just become as addicted with my company I can recreate the succes I had with mario kart in real life. Thank you man for the advice.

    I LOVE this video! I spend so much time thinking and strategizing, and less time actually getting addicted to taking action. Really appreciate the bit about you saying you aren’t especially gifted or skilled at a particular thing, just addicted. Makes me have more belief in my self.

    Actually really needed to hear this today. I’ve been solo entrepreneur for almost two years now, some months it’s great, others it sucks. Today kinda blew up and it’s been discouraging, but it’s like you said, the addiction for improvement is there and I know I will figure it out and work it out it’s just going to take time. Thanks for a great video!

    Very proud of you, young man. I wish more young people took your example. It is sad that many of your peers are having such difficulties and you are making a difference in people's lives and your honest and humble attitutude makes your channel very appealing and inspiring.

    I love how relatable you sound in this video. I feel like you may have been naturally competitive, but you never found a productive outlet (productive in terms of what is the social norm). This sounds a lot like myself in my life.
    I believe that you found a way to take action, which is what most people (including myself) struggle with. It may not have been completely logical, but you were able to force yourself to do a thing and improve on the thing continuously.
    Another way to look at the "addiction" is to see it as "passion". You passionately strived to be the best gamer/fantasy basketballer/business owner. As a side note, I think this passion can get muddled by the natural tendency to compare to others. It's easy to get discouraged by looking at so-and-so who is in the top 000.1% of your passion. In this case, it's probably best to shoot for the stars and end up landing on the moon. Hopefully you find that where you ended up is actually pretty cool and you can keep going.

    I just realized I’m very close to being addicted to self help. I watch videos made by psychiatrists and psychologists and I pause them as I take notes and write down how some ideas apply to my life. Idk how to make money off of it but it’s been helpful and I see a huge difference in myself now compared to even just two years ago

    I can relate to that "addiction" thing. Anything I get addicted to I put in so much effort and focus and that leads me to forums, youtube videos, saved bookmarks, articles, books, social media posts, and more. That's how I was able to surpass my son and wife in a game they've been playing for a couple of years now and even went as far as reaching the top rank that even they couldn't reach.

    I was recently (March) hired at Coalition Technologies, and it was going good. Almost past my 3 months probation. I made a few mistakes, a couple bigger ones, and a couple minor ones, and they decided to let me go today. It sucked having to hear that. Especially after knowing that I couldn't get a job in 5 years. Just to be let go within the probational period. Definitely sucked. Fortunately I found this video, haven't even finished watching it all the way through, but I hope that I can strive to be like you. I have been wanting to make my own clothing company, so I hope that I'll be able to do it. And be my own entrepreneur. Hopefully. When it goes big, I'll let you guys know the name of it.

    2:12 my brother I relate so much, I go out for groceries, the gym, an occasional walk & to meet that one friend once every 3 to 6 months. Everything else is at homeeeee, so there's no need for crazy expenses for insurance, maintenance, and any other bullshit everyone else is saddled with. One of the best money tip is not to spend money on money black holes.
    About being lazy don't worry about it. The truth is lots of people don't want to make efforts for things they don't care about, it doesn't mean there's something wrong with you.
