I'm honestly going to be posting stuff that I think is truly helpful for now on (usually on weekends when I'm off). Health, focus, life habits, discipline, sacrfice and going to the "dark side" no one wants to talk about. The reason 98% of people fail is their minds/life habits are weak. If your brain, body and focus is weak, you will be stuck and poor. The key isn't tactics, its addressing this shit. Let me know if you like the direction.
Great video Alex, this video kind of reminds me of the content you used to post like 2 years ago, when it wasn't all clickbait. Awesome shit, keep it up!
I remember being in Advertising many years ago and we had a client who said something which always stuck out to me. That "The problem with smart people, is that you can show them exactly how to do something and succeed at it... but they spend all their time and energy trying to optimize it, instead of just following directions. Not so much with dumb people. However, sometimes dumb people just can't follow the directions, even if they wanted to, so it's best to fill your company with people from the middle."
I mean. If the smart person actually optimizes the thing successfully, you will probably need less employees. So, its good for the company. Bad for the person saying this who could have their job optimized out of existence.
@@jacksonlaframboise9367 To be fair, "optimize" was the word I used. I was trying to make the comment shorter by using that word, as I was merely going for his perspective, for the sake of brevity, more so than relaying his long statement, as it already seemed too long for most people to care about reading. His words were more like "Thinking they can do better." You are 100% correct, optimizing would be a great thing, though mostly what comes from such attempts are a lot of smart people fucking up and performing well below their level because they thought they could do it better, or cut corners, instead of just doing the actual job. No... I can assure you, the irony contained within this response isn't lost on me.
@@johnniehouser4010 Being a smart person who spends most of their time cutting corners? Haha, I'm inclined to say that if I knew how to do that, I'd probably be one of these gurus mentioned in the video. That said, I'd say that if there's a map out in front of you, follow it until you can literally do it in your sleep. For a highly intelligent person, it's going to suck and it's going to be rather arduous. However, doing it this way has two benefits, the first being that if you can do the tasks needed on complete autopilot, then you can "check out" so to speak, and that would surely shave off a lot of the soul crushing aspects of it. The second thing is, that if you can run it so close to the mapped out plan, that you can autopilot it, that also means that you can account for variables and curve balls, then respond accordingly. Once you're at that place, THEN cutting corners may be a way to start optimizing your process. As you'd know what is needed, what isn't and what you can afford to let go of. Though what I've seen a lot of highly intelligent people doing is taking something they only know 25% of (If that) and already blowing time and energy while trying to shortcut it to make it better or easier for them. Hell, I'm guilty of it, as well... The ol' "Find the fucking chase and let's cut to it!" syndrome. Where they start cutting corners off a shape they don't understand, or even know what it is, then piss and moan about how they aren't achieving success at what it is they're supposed to be doing. No joke, I worked at a company where they had scripts they handed out to people and told them to say only what's on the script, where literally everything they will encounter is written out, all they need to do is just follow it. What I noticed is that a lot of the guys I thought were highly intelligent, weren't putting up the numbers that average "Joe Blow" types were. So when hearing their calls, shocker, they weren't following the script, at all. When I encountered that, I heard my former client in Advertising's statement echoing in my head, leaving me like "Ohhhh...."
Beanie Draws thats the thing. Gary literally is the only one that i can vouch for cause his mindset is legit just out there. He says all the time to stop watching his crap, and do your thing.
The real secret the success gurus won’t tell you: the most reliable way to make money is to present yourself as someone who can teach people how to make money / be successful. It’s pretty brilliant if you think about it. A strange self propelling loop.
This seems to be 100% fact. I've been watching a lot of these videos for the last few days doing research for a podcast, and I keep coming across all of these "entrepreneurs" who claim to be successful in several areas, but they never talk about those businesses. They only try to sell you success in a box for $10,000.
@@RHCrewReactions Yup! It's a pretty brilliant con. I almost admire it. What you are really being sold is their ability to be a salesman, and they always package in some basic 'insightful' psychology anecdotes that anyone can learn by reading a few Psychology Today articles.
@James Casey Thank you. It's an effective marketing strategy... I think they are selling 'motivation', because it certainly seems some people respond to it. But I think selling people self awareness and critical thinking is much more valuable for a satisfying life.
Best advice I've ever heard in my life. Guru's warp our minds with false dreams and promises. Alex is giving us amazing advice and a work ethic that we all need to obtain.
- Eat healthy - Get good sleep - Remove distractions (TV, Video games, Social media websites) - Stop listening to tactics, pick one an put it to work. - Stop finding the best tactic to do the X or Y All of that will helps to get a higher focus which presumes to better results.
@@MX-CO Knew you were going to say that. An all or nothing attitude is not healthy. You can use a lot of these things to your advantage if you have enough self control.
THIS IS ABSOLUTE GOLD! Nothing has resonated with me more this week than this! trying to multitask and micro manage menial tasks that could be delegated while still checking your whatsapp very 3 mins while craving sugar and coffee is no way to win in business.

Those cars in the background or a manipulation tactic used to manipulate gullible people. Real successful business people don't need to use those types of tactics because their success is enough of a draw. Imagine Bill Gates doing this? Yeah, he won't be doing this. He doesn't need to
By far, the biggest obstacle most people have is identifying the right purpose, the right 'thing' to be doing for them, they select business areas for the wrong reasons. (I have done this also).
And people all ask where has the love gone. Exactly what you said. We aren't giving our real love out to the world anymore. Its all been pointed inwards.
That is probably the part where most people fail. Trying to find the "right business" for them and use this as an excuse to never start at all. Just really stupid.
This is amazing. A couple other points I would like to add that have really helped me are, 1. Buy a course and only do what the course says 2. Only work on income producing activities. 3. Don't compare yourself to others 4. Work on your business every single day and keep a productivity journal to help boost the habit. 5. Don't take failure personally, be happy it happened with minimal consequences and move forward. 6. On your days off from your day job keep your phone off and charging in a far away room. You wakeup early and only grab your phone after at least 4 hours of focused work. Learning how to focus is the biggest factor just like Alex says. It took me 3 years to learn this steps while I was "working" 80 hour workweeks and just failing because I was working hard not smart. Learn from me. Please!
"You are smarter than 95% of people regardless of your IQ test, if you obtain focus and true creativity mixed with a little bit of energy and happiness." Well said, man!
What an eye opener , long story short i was addicted to fifa on Playstation , couple years back , I slept ate played worked got back played , took days off just to play , would go to sleep 4 am back to work at 7 am pissed of grouchy upset tired got home played again. I became.#100 in the world out of millions of players and could not be beat by anyone i knew or met with in game compettions but guess what. My social life, marrige life ,financial, life with my daughter my work was all shit. Untill i sold that fucking thing i was able to take all that time and energy back and was the best thing i ever did. I still feel the urge to buy one but i know its like weed or cocaine / alcohol to me and will put me back to where i was before. Took years to realize it though. Becarefull where your spending your time and energy.
My friend's going through something similar and he's dragging himself even further into that :( . Thanks for sharing that and i'm glad you're in a better place now
Walk Out Freedom thanks its crazy alot of people have no idea that any addiction will rob you of your life not just drugs which is the funny part i could care less about beacuse i hate them but dam gaming was killing me. I hope you friend can some how find the way to take control of the time he losses playing and put it towards something meaningfull, i didnt realize how bad everything was untill it was almost to late. The 30+ hours i spent weekly playing i used it towards reading and watching every self help book and video i could get my hands on and thats my addicition now lol. Good luck!
@@alexg8460 That's amazing i'm really happy for you bro keep up the good work! I'm gonna send your story to my friend and hopefully that will shift his thinking
Honestly most people just jump from one thing to another without giving one thing a solid chance. When you follow 100 gurus you are going to be pulled in 100+ directions. Last year I dedicated to learning just one thing, and executing it well. I don't need to make a new years resolution, I'm just continuing doing my thing.
I love how he talks, best I have ever heard And i also deleted all my games and social media... my will power and motivation sky rocketed I cant believe I was blind for so long
Hit me up if you want to know how to fix gut...i burned out after taking antibiotics for few months. I basically have phd in this...it took me 2 years to be allive again.
There is almost a noticable spiritual difference between being a creator and being a consumer. If you have been both at different times in your life you know the feeling. When you hyperfocus on things you feel like a superhero i swear.
This was the first Becker video I ever watched. As soon as the video finished I looked up my sleep chronotype and started following it. I was an alcoholic for over 8 years. I haven't touched a drop of alcohol since watching this video. My business has gone from making $100k in 4 years to making $100k in one month. The truth might hurt but the truth sets you free.
I once heard that when Jk Rowling was writing the Harry Potter books she would sit at her desk and instead of trying to write a paragraph, she would just try to write 1 word...which makes the task much, much easier. Instead of deciding to take 2-3 hours out of your day to "work" start off with 1 minor detail and build on that. This can really help you to stay focused. I like this idea because without realising it, you will achieve so much more in less time when you are not telling yourself "this is my work time" and trying to come up with ideas in that time frame. It's like tricking your brain into thinking that you do not have to have any great revelations or achieve anything in this 2-3 hour work period because these big ideas come when we least expect them.
Nah you have to work your ass off it's not about tricking the brain. Besides, JK Rowling is a creative genius so her tactics won't work for most people.
If you have bad focus, bad work habits, and a bad brain you will never ever be able to compete and building a business will never be possible. If you fix these things, building a business becomes easy. Real talk.
Makes total sense! I read a book that basically said you must work for long periods of time without interruption in order to reach that peak state to move forward and get into that zone of doing the best work.
This guy is so right I remember during my college years these kids will study for like 8 hours a day for an exam and I'll only study maybe 2 hours and I'll still have a better result. The difference was I use to wake up at 4am when my brain was the sharpest and laser focus for 2 hours while these kids will be studying during the day but with a lot of distractions...
Alex, please talk about your diet and the body cleansing stuff that you're doing. I've heard Sam talk about the sleep gadget he uses to monitor it and those things, but I'd love to see a little bit deeper into diet stuff too. Thank you so much, dude. You're changing lives.
Every successful business person talk about how important it is to have one chief business idea to pursue. They ALWAYS add to that how they used to spread themselves too thin, which forced them to conclude that the only way to succeed is to do things the wrong way until they figured out the right way. I feel like the best advice would be if someone told people to do all the wrong things until people figured out why it's the wrong way to do things. Then people would become successful. I probably sound like i'm talking out of my ass, but whatever. It's just something that's crossed my mind
NOT EVEN TONY ROBBINS! Life changing stuff man, the simple way to explained it is what I needed. I dropped some tears because I knew there was something else that explained why I couldn’t focus and work several hours. Keep the content!
This was the same thing Jack Dorsey did after he got his job back after being fired from the company he built. He started intermittent fasting and it changed his life.
I agree with distractions, but you talk like starting a 10k business is easy. It was one of the hardest things I have done in life. It took me 2 years. I spent a whole year doing Seo and it never work due to self awareness. I was doing everything for money. Once I got my head correct, my mindset correct, and a lot of garyvee clicked for me. I’m now on track to do 1 mil 2019 on amz. Yes the 4 pillars of life is important. Mindset is just EVERYTHING to me. Once you stop giving a shit about other peoples opinion and b willing to do crazy shit, having your bank call you due to overdraft fees and going through hard shit. just having a clear head and mindset will solve everything. anyone can accomplish anything in life, patients is key, self awareness is the lock.
josef newton Yes for about 8 months, calling 40-100 businesses a day. Finally got a client for $700 a month. He canceled the 3rd month becuz he didn’t want to wait anymore and I had him on second pages for keywords. I moved on. Started a different business with the most outgoing person in my high school. So far business is taking off
You couldn't be more right brother! I'm a recovering drug addict and alcoholic. My brain has been foggy for the last 5 years, and I have been clean and sober for 62 days today!! I completely went to the other side of where I was, I workout 4 days a week, I meditate every morning, yoga 3 times a week, and I also do cleanses to get rid of toxins and all the bad shit in my body. I have never, EVER, felt this focused and clear in my entire life!! Awesome video Alex, thank you so much for this one!
this is the most informative video I've ever come across on youtube. this guy alex is speaking the truth. prorper sleep and cleansing is the key to a better life regardless if it's making a business work or just living day-to-day. alex is right
Alex I like your energy lately. I am living proof that this works. I struggled for 3.5 years. And guess what? I had terrible sleep, diet, and focus. Fast forward to the last few months and it’s as if my mind has been illuminated. I clearly understand ways to monetize and take advantage of opportunities. ---- Apply what he says in this video if you really want to be a success. It took me a matter of 4 months to get my mind right. Not only have I been more successful, my thinning hair came back 100%.
my hair started thinning too, and i had thick hair. i realized i wasn't working out and i was eating very badly. Now i'm eating healthy and working out, i hope my hair get thick again.
@Alex Aionesei thank you for your response man! Unfortunately, i hate vegetables and fruit (i vomit whenever i try to eat it), so for now i 've cut out all of processed foods and started eating healthy foods like meat,fish,rice etc... and i'm planning on taking vitamin supplements (given that i can't eat vegetables and fruit).
@@MorakleMusic you can eat veggies bro. At first I was the same way. I started making smoothies they are amazing. Try out the glowing green smoothie on TH-cam its excellent trust me. It makes your skin like new again. Good luck. 👍
You used the BINAURAL beats from a TH-cam channel. I believe this one is called: Mood energizer or chakra alignment or higher vibrations. This is what can make people focus on this video better 😊
I saw many of your ads and never considered subscribing as I am very skeptical with these biz 'gurus' but this kind of video is rare and appreciated - subbed!
Most people fail in business (95%) because of effectiveness and focus. Most people don’t spend enough time focused on the task - no distractions. 1) how long you can focus 2) how long you can delay gratification
Had problems with focus and being consistent all my life, feel like I had brain fog since the day I was born lol. That was my main problem in school, and we didn't even have smart phones yet and internet was slow and simple so can't really blame that.
Several years ago my friend told me about the idea of not having any “zero days”. Any day that you have completely open, plan at least one productive thing towards your goal. Join an entrepreneur group, local networking meetings, research your business plan, etc. Now I’m at the point where I get anxious if I’m sitting around too long. It feels as if others are moving forward and I’m wasting time. I need to be busy doing something.
One of the realest messages on youtube. Ironically it's so simple (not necessarily easy) that not many people will believe you. That would take the desire to actually change instead of remaining stagnant while waiting for a magic bullet. The basics are simple.... Not necessarily easy, but simple.
Because people "follow" rather than lead. Every business module has about 3-5 years worth of life.....so by the time you get to hear about it it has either peaked or near peak.
This is honestly one of the greatest vides ever brother. Thank you for blessing us with such a powerful video in 2019. This video right here is literally the golden key everyone is looking for. Most people don't realize, we are what we repeatedly do. Therefore success isn't an act it is a habit. I am truly grateful for you going over your habits, which I truly believe is one of the greatest teachings a mentor can give a student. Because it is in the daily actions and habits, that we shape our destiny. Thank you so much. You have helped me realized so many amazing take aways in this video. This is the video I needed. Truly believe this was a divine gift from the creator. Thank Brother keep up the great work.
His video explained why he basically quit TH-cam for 2 months, "which as you can see he took a brief hiatus from posting." And how he was going to transform his content structure by no longer posting hypey bullshit videos to get more views, and go down to posting once per week or so with more instructional based videos.
You are so Right! And by the way I love Alex, I have followed him since his SEO days. He is pivoting, just like he did when SEO crashed. He will probably be selling gut cleansing, diet systems in the new year.
Yeah but he doesn't even use a pc or social media, stuck in his office all day with only company details to look at so he's still way more focused than most.
Good, and simple - i started to implement this- tufned off apps and try to focus on one thing - also watched Sam Ovens "death by 1000 cuts" its practical . Thx man
I started playing that video with a VERY skeptical mindset, as i also don’t believe at all that motivational bullsh*t all over TH-cam. However, I sat through the entire 22 minutes, and you are 100% CORRECT.
I'm gonna admit. I'm a youtube addict. I don't fully realize my full potential of when I would eat well, exerciser, drink water and tea, have a good morning routine, and all that stuff. I cancelled my rent and planning to go to Spain fully changing my surroundings and culture. In 3 months I hope to change myself and building all of those good habits. I also need to make a living within those 3 months...

Thanks for your honest opinion, because your RIGHT! What would you say for someone that "never made much" online should do first? Like get an enema to get cleansed? I have time I have a few hundred to blow! Say like Shopify selling things of my interest? Or what? What other honest business would you recommend? Affiliate Marketing? ???

By far, the biggest obstacle most people have is identifying the right purpose, the right 'thing' to be doing for them, they select business areas for the wrong reasons. (I have done this also).
And people all ask where has the love gone. Exactly what you said.
We aren't giving our real love out to the world anymore. Its all been pointed inwards.
That is probably the part where most people fail. Trying to find the "right business" for them and use this as an excuse to never start at all. Just really stupid.
This is amazing. A couple other points I would like to add that have really helped me are, 1. Buy a course and only do what the course says 2. Only work on income producing activities. 3. Don't compare yourself to others 4. Work on your business every single day and keep a productivity journal to help boost the habit. 5. Don't take failure personally, be happy it happened with minimal consequences and move forward. 6. On your days off from your day job keep your phone off and charging in a far away room. You wakeup early and only grab your phone after at least 4 hours of focused work. Learning how to focus is the biggest factor just like Alex says. It took me 3 years to learn this steps while I was "working" 80 hour workweeks and just failing because I was working hard not smart. Learn from me. Please!
teach me. what was your job?
Cooking chickens at Costco, running a high ticket dropshipping store and now publishing books
"You are smarter than 95% of people regardless of your IQ test, if you obtain focus and true creativity mixed with a little bit of energy and happiness." Well said, man!

What an eye opener , long story short i was addicted to fifa on Playstation , couple years back , I slept ate played worked got back played , took days off just to play , would go to sleep 4 am back to work at 7 am pissed of grouchy upset tired got home played again. I became.#100 in the world out of millions of players and could not be beat by anyone i knew or met with in game compettions but guess what. My social life, marrige life ,financial, life with my daughter my work was all shit. Untill i sold that fucking thing i was able to take all that time and energy back and was the best thing i ever did. I still feel the urge to buy one but i know its like weed or cocaine / alcohol to me and will put me back to where i was before. Took years to realize it though. Becarefull where your spending your time and energy.
My friend's going through something similar and he's dragging himself even further into that :( . Thanks for sharing that and i'm glad you're in a better place now
Walk Out Freedom thanks its crazy alot of people have no idea that any addiction will rob you of your life not just drugs which is the funny part i could care less about beacuse i hate them but dam gaming was killing me. I hope you friend can some how find the way to take control of the time he losses playing and put it towards something meaningfull, i didnt realize how bad everything was untill it was almost to late. The 30+ hours i spent weekly playing i used it towards reading and watching every self help book and video i could get my hands on and thats my addicition now lol. Good luck!
@@alexg8460 That's amazing i'm really happy for you bro keep up the good work! I'm gonna send your story to my friend and hopefully that will shift his thinking
Walk Out Freedom well least he can make some money out of doing fifa or cod
Lol you clearly enjoyed pouring hours into fifa, why didnt you become a fifa pro lol
Honestly most people just jump from one thing to another without giving one thing a solid chance. When you follow 100 gurus you are going to be pulled in 100+ directions.
Last year I dedicated to learning just one thing, and executing it well. I don't need to make a new years resolution, I'm just continuing doing my thing.
Ah nice you mentioned this.
Hi trav v, nice to see you here.
That's me. :(
I agree. You have to choose what matters and stick to it and the when you've reached a solid level try other things.
Time is precious, know when to cut your investment.
"Focused people will govern the world" 🤯 focus and creativity are the two key components to succeed in business - 16:20 in ahead 👌
I love how he talks, best I have ever heard
And i also deleted all my games and social media... my will power and motivation sky rocketed
I cant believe I was blind for so long
Love this direction! Keep cranking it out dude. (Edit: would love video on “all that weird gut shit you do” - brain fog is a massive issue bro!)
Raw fruits & vegetables. No dairy, grains or animal flesh. It’s simple
Being completely asleep between 10 pm and - 2 am which is when our body produces HGH ( human growth hormones ) & tons of other life promoting stuff.
Parasite cleanses. Major organ cleanses (liver, kidneys exc).
He’s probably for sure had colonics before.
Hit me up if you want to know how to fix gut...i burned out after taking antibiotics for few months. I basically have phd in this...it took me 2 years to be allive again.
There is almost a noticable spiritual difference between being a creator and being a consumer. If you have been both at different times in your life you know the feeling. When you hyperfocus on things you feel like a superhero i swear.
Alex Becker has said everything which is wriiten in these two books the "Deep Work" & "The One Thing". Nice video Alex.
👊
This YT video should be $997 because I learnt more from this vid than any other course I've paid for.
now he would have made over 300 million dollars
This was the first Becker video I ever watched. As soon as the video finished I looked up my sleep chronotype and started following it. I was an alcoholic for over 8 years. I haven't touched a drop of alcohol since watching this video. My business has gone from making $100k in 4 years to making $100k in one month. The truth might hurt but the truth sets you free.
God bless ya man. Good to hear.
I once heard that when Jk Rowling was writing the Harry Potter books she would sit at her desk and instead of trying to write a paragraph, she would just try to write 1 word...which makes the task much, much easier. Instead of deciding to take 2-3 hours out of your day to "work" start off with 1 minor detail and build on that. This can really help you to stay focused. I like this idea because without realising it, you will achieve so much more in less time when you are not telling yourself "this is my work time" and trying to come up with ideas in that time frame. It's like tricking your brain into thinking that you do not have to have any great revelations or achieve anything in this 2-3 hour work period because these big ideas come when we least expect them.
That is Godspeed : l
Reading this comment was so much more helpful than the video.
This is called the Kaizen method. Its SUPER EFFECTIVE....no seriously. It is.
Nah you have to work your ass off it's not about tricking the brain. Besides, JK Rowling is a creative genius so her tactics won't work for most people.
If you have bad focus, bad work habits, and a bad brain you will never ever be able to compete and building a business will never be possible.
If you fix these things, building a business becomes easy.
Real talk.
@@redconsciousness2090 What about you genius?
@@majorbob7211 A genius is a person who consistently focuses their action on a result their committed to.
@@sterlthepearl1000 sounds good
Makes total sense! I read a book that basically said you must work for long periods of time without interruption in order to reach that peak state to move forward and get into that zone of doing the best work.
The name of the book is called Deep Work.
Thank you for this. I was just about to ask about the title of the book.
This guy is so right I remember during my college years these kids will study for like 8 hours a day for an exam and I'll only study maybe 2 hours and I'll still have a better result. The difference was I use to wake up at 4am when my brain was the sharpest and laser focus for 2 hours while these kids will be studying during the day but with a lot of distractions...
Maybe you just had more naturally ability
Let me save everyone 22 mins.........Get focused! Work Hard! Thanks for for amazing insight.🤦♂️
Thanks dude. This guy speaks 20 minutes of crap that could've been condensed in 2 minutes
but you miss the point
eat well!
Thank you!
Thank you! I'm tired of seeing this guy on every other ad I'm trying to skip
This is the real Alex Becker we want to listen to
Forreall!!
Alex, please talk about your diet and the body cleansing stuff that you're doing. I've heard Sam talk about the sleep gadget he uses to monitor it and those things, but I'd love to see a little bit deeper into diet stuff too. Thank you so much, dude. You're changing lives.
Every successful business person talk about how important it is to have one chief business idea to pursue. They ALWAYS add to that how they used to spread themselves too thin, which forced them to conclude that the only way to succeed is to do things the wrong way until they figured out the right way. I feel like the best advice would be if someone told people to do all the wrong things until people figured out why it's the wrong way to do things. Then people would become successful. I probably sound like i'm talking out of my ass, but whatever. It's just something that's crossed my mind
2 years later, this is still great information. Thank you.
The dude on the left in the thumbnail drives me nuts. Always interrupting my videos with his documentary length ads.

One word FOCUS
Thanks.

I bet Ford is paying him for this... :)
NOT EVEN TONY ROBBINS! Life changing stuff man, the simple way to explained it is what I needed. I dropped some tears because I knew there was something else that explained why I couldn’t focus and work several hours. Keep the content!
This was the same thing Jack Dorsey did after he got his job back after being fired from the company he built. He started intermittent fasting and it changed his life.
So you're not quitting TH-cam as you said in the previous video?
Well said, Alex! Lack of focus kills whatever we try to achieve.
I agree with distractions, but you talk like starting a 10k business is easy. It was one of the hardest things I have done in life. It took me 2 years. I spent a whole year doing Seo and it never work due to self awareness. I was doing everything for money. Once I got my head correct, my mindset correct, and a lot of garyvee clicked for me. I’m now on track to do 1 mil 2019 on amz. Yes the 4 pillars of life is important. Mindset is just EVERYTHING to me. Once you stop giving a shit about other peoples opinion and b willing to do crazy shit, having your bank call you due to overdraft fees and going through hard shit. just having a clear head and mindset will solve everything. anyone can accomplish anything in life, patients is key, self awareness is the lock.
Congrats to you brother but don't forget the results are different for every person
I feel you bro... they all running around like making money is just easy.
Were you doing SEO consulting?
josef newton Yes for about 8 months, calling 40-100 businesses a day. Finally got a client for $700 a month. He canceled the 3rd month becuz he didn’t want to wait anymore and I had him on second pages for keywords. I moved on. Started a different business with the most outgoing person in my high school. So far business is taking off
@@nickdillahunt8669 What are you doing now?
You couldn't be more right brother! I'm a recovering drug addict and alcoholic. My brain has been foggy for the last 5 years, and I have been clean and sober for 62 days today!! I completely went to the other side of where I was, I workout 4 days a week, I meditate every morning, yoga 3 times a week, and I also do cleanses to get rid of toxins and all the bad shit in my body. I have never, EVER, felt this focused and clear in my entire life!! Awesome video Alex, thank you so much for this one!
wwhat cleanses
"You eating McDonald's? Guess what that's why you're dumb"

This new type of content ur making is actually really helpful thank you
thanks!
OMG! This is a Tai Lopez garage scene minus the books. Alex has the orange Lamborghini tucked away in the background. Can't make this shit up. 😂🤣
this is the most informative video I've ever come across on youtube. this guy alex is speaking the truth. prorper sleep and cleansing is the key to a better life regardless if it's making a business work or just living day-to-day. alex is right
Alex I like your energy lately.
I am living proof that this works. I struggled for 3.5 years. And guess what?
I had terrible sleep, diet, and focus.
Fast forward to the last few months and it’s as if my mind has been illuminated.
I clearly understand ways to monetize and take advantage of opportunities.

Apply what he says in this video if you really want to be a success.
It took me a matter of 4 months to get my mind right.
Not only have I been more successful, my thinning hair came back 100%.
my hair started thinning too, and i had thick hair. i realized i wasn't working out and i was eating very badly. Now i'm eating healthy and working out, i hope my hair get thick again.
@Alex Aionesei thank you for your response man! Unfortunately, i hate vegetables and fruit (i vomit whenever i try to eat it), so for now i 've cut out all of processed foods and started eating healthy foods like meat,fish,rice etc... and i'm planning on taking vitamin supplements (given that i can't eat vegetables and fruit).
@@MorakleMusic you can eat veggies bro. At first I was the same way. I started making smoothies they are amazing. Try out the glowing green smoothie on TH-cam its excellent trust me. It makes your skin like new again. Good luck. 👍
@@MorakleMusic paid comment?
You used the BINAURAL beats from a TH-cam channel.
I believe this one is called:
Mood energizer or chakra alignment or higher vibrations.
This is what can make people focus on this video better 😊
Cool !!!
Great call....
The notes are very subtle too. This dude is a psychological genius.
Wow! I legit needed to watch this right now. Thank you! 💯
I saw many of your ads and never considered subscribing as I am very skeptical with these biz 'gurus' but this kind of video is rare and appreciated - subbed!
Most people fail in business (95%) because of effectiveness and focus. Most people don’t spend enough time focused on the task - no distractions.
1) how long you can focus
2) how long you can delay gratification
Had problems with focus and being consistent all my life, feel like I had brain fog since the day I was born lol. That was my main problem in school, and we didn't even have smart phones yet and internet was slow and simple so can't really blame that.

Either take action on your own & find out for yourself otherwise you’re just a listener and not a doer 🤔
This is the key people think just listing to help will help them alone, there must be action too
Exactly dude!
Several years ago my friend told me about the idea of not having any “zero days”. Any day that you have completely open, plan at least one productive thing towards your goal. Join an entrepreneur group, local networking meetings, research your business plan, etc. Now I’m at the point where I get anxious if I’m sitting around too long. It feels as if others are moving forward and I’m wasting time. I need to be busy doing something.
Gangster Disciple exactly so find something productive to do & get to work 💪🏼

Watch the whole video guys. It helps.
Most people have no clue what made them popular.
True. I only know what made me infamous. Now trolling comments praying fir a break
Where focus goes energy flows. Thanks, Alex
One of the realest messages on youtube. Ironically it's so simple (not necessarily easy) that not many people will believe you. That would take the desire to actually change instead of remaining stagnant while waiting for a magic bullet. The basics are simple.... Not necessarily easy, but simple.
Because people "follow" rather than lead.
Every business module has about 3-5 years worth of life.....so by the time you get to hear about it it has either peaked or near peak.
Easy on the Adderall dude
It's time management for those who don't want to watch a 22 minute video
Is more than just about time management is about focus
I love how honest Alex Becker is in his videos
dude I'm not even in marketing but this guy motivates and pushes me toward my goals more than any guru ever did. Genius.
This is honestly one of the greatest vides ever brother. Thank you for blessing us with such a powerful video in 2019. This video right here is literally the golden key everyone is looking for. Most people don't realize, we are what we repeatedly do. Therefore success isn't an act it is a habit. I am truly grateful for you going over your habits, which I truly believe is one of the greatest teachings a mentor can give a student. Because it is in the daily actions and habits, that we shape our destiny. Thank you so much. You have helped me realized so many amazing take aways in this video. This is the video I needed. Truly believe this was a divine gift from the creator. Thank Brother keep up the great work.
I found you through a geeks and gamers suggestion to your TLJ video. So I guess one good thing came out of that movie
hahaha
For a guy that quit social media you sure seem pretty active on it still.
His video explained why he basically quit TH-cam for 2 months, "which as you can see he took a brief hiatus from posting." And how he was going to transform his content structure by no longer posting hypey bullshit videos to get more views, and go down to posting once per week or so with more instructional based videos.
You are so Right! And by the way I love Alex, I have followed him since his SEO days. He is pivoting, just like he did when SEO crashed. He will probably be selling gut cleansing, diet systems in the new year.
Nick its not his priority anymore. He doesn’t care about scaling
Yep another faker
He's an influencer though.
But Warren Buffett eats McDonald’s every day..
Im sure he eats healthy also. But I love mcdonalds coffee.
True true, he does have five cans of Coca-Cola to balance things out.
He burns through those calories by using the pure power of thought.
Yesss so true
Yeah but he doesn't even use a pc or social media, stuck in his office all day with only company details to look at so he's still way more focused than most.
Good, and simple - i started to implement this- tufned off apps and try to focus on one thing - also watched Sam Ovens "death by 1000 cuts" its practical . Thx man
Lmfao bruh "go to your Xbox and smash it with a hammer" savage advice I love it

Serious nugs of wisdom here... True Intelligence (IQ) totally is simply creativity + Focus. Which is extremely difficult to quantify.

ive grown like 2 inches because of that
Yup I noticed it
I started playing that video with a VERY skeptical mindset, as i also don’t believe at all that motivational bullsh*t all over TH-cam. However, I sat through the entire 22 minutes, and you are 100% CORRECT.
I'm gonna admit. I'm a youtube addict. I don't fully realize my full potential of when I would eat well, exerciser, drink water and tea, have a good morning routine, and all that stuff. I cancelled my rent and planning to go to Spain fully changing my surroundings and culture. In 3 months I hope to change myself and building all of those good habits. I also need to make a living within those 3 months...

Exactly, Though, i think most people assign too much trust and belief to online personalities. These guys are marketers and want to SELL.
@@Audiomotivation4all Agreed. I usually look at a load of different ones to gain all kinds of opinions and information but don't get invested in them but take in what information I consider useful from them, sifting through all the bullshit and marketing. That being said, Becker is definitely the most useful person I've seen on the internet.
Thanks for your honest opinion, because your RIGHT! What would you say for someone that "never made much" online should do first? Like get an enema to get cleansed? I have time I have a few hundred to blow! Say like Shopify selling things of my interest? Or what? What other honest business would you recommend? Affiliate Marketing? ??? It funny I used to try selling people clickbank products on how to make money online and I wasn't, that's some funny shit😂! Never mind the next video I'm watching is yours how beginners make money online something like that!??!
Fully agree, focus is the key, not only to succeed in business, but in anything you decide to do.
