well said, but don't forget to actually break your goals down to a bunch of smaller easily achievable goals. That way you will always be able to tick a box on that to do list and feel the dopamine from having accomplished something.
Alex this is the best advice that I've came across in my 40 years. When I was younger and I was tired of working by the hour for sh*t jobs that I had no interest in, I got out and told someone who I greatly respected at the time that I was going to do what I enjoy. He told me I was a f child and had to grow up. That hit me hard and I went back to "safe" jobs eventually got myself stuck and miserable with not much in the bank. I knew back then that I wasn't successful at what I do because I didn't give a damn about what i was doing. It was completely my fault for not thinking for myself. I'm starting over and don't give a f what people say anymore, its my life and i can't carry on doing what I hate. I wish I had someone like you in my life, but most of all I should of used my head. Great video mate.
Its not late at all to start something new that gives joy to you, whatever people talk wether neagtive or positive thing it has nothing to do with your goals and dont pay attention to other people at all and if you did you are wasting your precious time man, keep up and do what you love most because its gonna be somthing you will never regret for and you will happy forever after you have done that also you will feel proud when you get good results after, i wish you successful journey 😊
Good luck! The book I'd recommend for creating a good system of daily habits is 'atomic habits'. That'll help you create a good system of daily dopamine inducing habits that'll fast track that success
It's obviously not sustainable. There's no avoiding the constant pull of the enjoyable and salacious. You can't throw everything you enjoy into a pool. The sad fact is success is only for those who can manage their mental state over time, and do the difficult choice of doing what's right over what's fun. There's no real shortcuts. No tricks.
@@artistryartistry7239 You misunderstand. What Beck mentions is actually the only way to sustain specific behavior overtime without the aid of outside intervention (e. bootcamp, soccer mom, etc.). And it's perfectly fine to throw out the ps4/quit social media/drinking for a week, nobody says it has to be forever, though there are entire religions, philosophies, and other schools of thought that say otherwise---theravada buddhism, stoicism, christian monasteries, Deep Work, etc. And choosing between the "right" choice or the "fun" choice is a false dichotomy. There can be plenty of overlap between the two, especially if you view fun as degrees on a spectrum.
@@fatboyRAY24 I don't misunderstand, I just don't agree. There's a difference. Judging by what you've written, you're the one who doesn't understand. Lol, and no it's not the "only way to sustain specific behavior over time." Are you claiming that no human being has ever had different thoughts, realizations, or actions outside of Becker's specific prescriptions here has ever sustained a given behavior? Could you really be claiming something so ridiculous? And were you even listening? He threw his PC into a pool of water -- destroying it. That's not a temporary solution. However if one keeps those temptations around, feeding the "animal side" of the psyche, as Becker calls, one is linking themselves to those things forever, so they're constant temptations and they promote behaviors and associations and temptations Becker defines as harmful and best avoided. This video is not advocating "overlap," but replacement. You clearly didn't pay attention to the video so I'm not sure why you're even arguing.
@@artistryartistry7239 He's basically talking about enjoying the work and putting everything else fun in your life on hold. And if you don't enjoy the work...learn to enjoy it or it will be very difficult to focus on your tasks and you will get distracted by other fun things. But I don't necessarily agree with this as "the only way". I believe there are probably some people that really don't enjoy the work at all, but they just have really really strong self discipline. And their meter never runs out cause they won't let it. But I think for most people what Becker is saying is spot on. That's what I've had to do.
This concept has changed my life. Take out all dopamine triggers in areas where your not working towards what you want and put those dopamine triggers and more in areas where you ARE working towards what you want. One way I do this is i listen to entertaining videos and podcasts while I'm working, but I don't allow myself to EVER watch or listen to videos outside of work
and me as well.....cocaine and heroin actually, been 20 years since then but you can definetly see the correlation and not just with drugs but with anything.....people usually just switch addictions, lol
@@Sh0n0 at some point you just get tired man....did AA for years but you just have to want 1 more than the other.....no such thing as a bottom.....you can always go down more if your willing
@Lotus 369 In your example of picking up girls, you'd simply enjoy the pursuit of attaining a woman to its fullest, such as enjoying flirting, talking, connecting, bonding, etc and be a bit detached from the end goal of hooking up/marriage. Truly focus on the enjoyment of the things that lead up to hooking up. (your example missed the mark a tad bit)
I don't care how long it is because I know it's not bullshit trying to get you to buy a course, these are real thoughts this man had with himself for a long time and he's deciding to share it with those of us who don't see it as clear!
If you guys like this video, theres a book called ‘The Chimp Paradox’ which explains this concept in more depth and gives you techniques on how to control your ‘animal’ in you. Thats my 2 cents.
This is pure gold. I've never heard anybody thinking about this. This should be taught in school. Now I've implemented many of the aforementioned things, but never heard it so well put together and explained. Thanks man, subscribed ^_^
I see alot of people are asking for precise instructions, therefor i thought i would show an example of something simular that i did to motivate myself I started running when i was young, because my parents forced me to. therefor i was never motivated to train more than i had to. then one time i figured i wanted to become a really good runner. this translates over to the video, where he talks about social value. Now, training in it self didnt give me that dopamine feeling. so what did i do? i bought myself some really nice running shoes, i bought myself some really nice training clothes, and lastly i bought myself a GPS watch. after that, all i wanted to do is put on my really nice clothes and start running. the training part wasnt what stimulated my brain. It was looking fresh, which again ties down to the primal instincts. the GPS watch logged all my sessions, it gave me data and really showed me my progress, this is crazy motivation! all i wanted was to get as many kilometers on my watch as i could. there was communities tied to this data, where you could compare yourself to other runners. I know running isnt the same as creating a business, but the concept is the same. you need to find things that trick you into doing it. I am sure there are lots of communities for entreprenours where you can connect with other people and compare yourself to them. In the video, workspace was mentioned, which i think sounds like a good idea. make it a place you rather be than on your couch. dress up, put on some nice clothes that you feel really good about, but only wear them when you are working. it sounds silly but it might work for you aswell. look at your progress, compare it to previous results. I think focusing a lot on goals is what ruins peoples motivation the most. if you have a goal that is too easy, you will have no motivation to proceed after reaching that goal. if your goal is too far from reality, you wont have the motivation to start. I think have a goal that is not distinct is what really works. not telling yourself you want to achieve this or this, but saying "i want as much as i can of this" or "i want to be as good as possible at this" . Find something you feel good about, and only allow yourself that when it is tied to progress on your goals.
*Here's the Summary* (watch the whole thing first) 1. *Burning bridges* (survival) and *proving yourslef* to community. (higher social value) 2. Giving little treats (*starting with easy*) but not tricking it as the big treat. - Keep the dopamine trail going - Measure progress and see how much u get better everyday. Not the huge boost. 3. *Don’t declare victory* over small things (ie 100 or 1000 dollars a day , first client etc) - Separate Yourrslef from large gratification 4. Everything u do in business, make it give a little dopamine release. (ie *clean work place*, organized computer, Todo lists)
@@jaysonyata1992 That would depend on your field. If you're an athlete, entrepreneur, twitch thot, entertainer, programmer, game developer, actor... Every field has different little steps along the way to the bigger goals that you can define as pleasurable if only you remove more intense sources of dopamine from your life first. I'm a game developer. For me every little feature that I finish implementing into the game engine and every little scene or storyline subplot that I finish writing is that kind of little crumb along the way. Can't psyche myself out over any of these little steps, but have to acknowledge how awesome it is that this feature works and all the bugs have been squashed. Dopamine release. Then move on to the next little thing.
@@ronnickyjroy3 the key part is to understand most of the things you do that feel good even a tiny bit, are dopamine spikes (some other hormones too but basically dopamine). Except if you're overstimulated, then you barely even feel that shit. Meditating every day for 15 minutes and quitting some of the most stimulating habits (addictions) that aren't necessary for survival will yield great results very quickly, because it will make you appreciate those little dopamine spikes more. Now, practical advice would be to indeed, take a moment to pat yourself on the back, take a victory lap basically, but never overdo it. I find it a bad idea to chain your minor victories to something like a candy or other external rewards. It's best to just take 1min to appreciate what you just did, self admiration and positive affirmation, then move on.
This is one of the most profound videos on success on TH-cam, whoever sits down grabs a notebook and starts planning their dopamine path paired with their logical path, rewatching this, is going to become a beast in the upcoming months, the rest will keep on getting entertained and living in the dopamine loop...
I rarely comment on your videos Alex, but I'm a longtime fan. I have created a profitable business of my own that I'm constantly working on growing. This video was one of your best. Sharing your knowledge in business and life (like this) is paying a larger ROI to the world than any investment! Keep it up

To make it short, you have to get connected to your goals emotionally. Make sure that your rewards are in line with your goals. Level 2, now you can kill these monsters much faster or better. Which means that your goals will be easier to achieve, and faster. You get rewarded too. This is what basically level/game design is in general. Keep the players on a tight leash.
@@MattGarcyaDC If you are a gamer, maybe better gaming equipment. If you are a bodybuilder, maybe some new training equipment, clothes, something that supports you, so you can reach your goals faster and easier. Just imagine the tools you need or could need to achieve more. Video games give you the tools to have more fun and accomplish more.
Bruh, this is the best video ever, I've read a lot of self books and none explain the primitive dopamine need like you, This video honestly changed my life, I can't thank you enough, maybe because I am a "hardcore gamer" lol, But the witcher analogy is on point
How's your dopamine control journey been since this video? I've been aware of all of this for many years but the way this was delivered was so powerful. One of the best videos I've seen on here
*All the greatest information in the world are free (if you just know where to search it).* *All those "paid courses" were just rehashed BS from those free stuffs.* *How ironic.*

@@thinkpositive3667 I disagree, depends on the course of course but most of them gives you extra value which you can't find online for example : a course includes a very specific information of what you want to learn plus the experience of the person who made it and his point of view, which is priceless in my opinion. Often times you are able to get things easier and clearer when you have all the needed things laid down for you. Its not that the person who made the course just took some things online out of the blue and copy paste them..
@@derekviveiros2628 Thanks for the post. Reminded me of this video - I just watched it again. I should put it on my calendar and watch it once per month. I am are of this concept thanks to Alex and think about it many times per day in my actions. Every day is a battle against yourself to do what is in your own best interest rather than giving in to your impulses. I have improved in the control, but want still to do much better.
This video is so true! Great video! I remember back in my 20's me and a friend were gonna start a business. We got our plan together and got so excited we starting telling people what we were gonna do. Well...we felt so great and excited talking shit, and it felt so good like"we were on our way", that when it came down to actually starting the business, we never did anything because talking shit to everyone gave us the sense that we were already successful, although we never even started the business yet, and never did! We ran after that "high" that seemed good enough. Know, I don't talk shit, I don't have a partner, and I own over 1 million in real-estate. Be careful of the fake "sense of success". It will not get you anywhere.
@@johndelavier5132 You have to genuinely enjoy doing what makes you money. It needs to be what you get most of or at least a large portion of your joy from.
I already figured out by now that I have to go to the right social communities to get motivation and even give myself physical dopamine boosts, but this video made everything so much clearer and also gave me additional important pointers regarding mindset and designing the dopamine trail like a game, not boasting too much etc. Honestly one of the best videos I ever watched, if not the best.
I appreciate the explanation and I understand about eliminating the quick-fix dopamine hits (fatty/high sugar foods, social media, alcohol, etc) yet I’d love it if you made another video focusing on walking through a deeper explanation, with examples, as to how you connect dopamine hits with work & actions that serve oneself in positive productive manner. You are on to something great here and I think there’s an opportunity to flush this out further in a way that would support people tremendously. And for a little context, I just discovered you and your channel... this is the only video I’ve seen of yours thus far. Thank you
@@RadomPlayers Just type in Jordan B. Peterson and go to his youtube channel. May also check out Dr. Kelly Brogan, Dr. Dom D'Agostino and Dr. Rhonda Patrick on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast

@@armanngu Yes! I agree with your comment. I say the same thing. In other comments, I'd read how Alex is "just another good online marketer", but really listening and watching him allows me to understand deep and valuable tips.
Alex's channel is like one of the few entrepreneur channels that i still subscribed too because it actually helps. Unsubscribed from Graham, Grant cardone, Dan Lok. Not that they are not good channels, but they are a distraction from my business - I know it's ironic.

Ex oxy addict here. Always had super strong animal drive for everything. Constantly bounced from one new obsession to another. Finally discovered trading and pulled myself out of being broke and hating my life. This video is spot on. Just wish I had found trading sooner. First thing I could funnel that into that benefitted me long term.
@@valentin19998 I began trading full time in 2016 back when lots of people first got exposed to crypto thanks to the bull run. I started with about 2k. Took me a couple years to grind up to 100k. I was stuck around there for a few years and sort of treading water, paying bills but not really stacking. Things reallys picked up after the COVID crash and then subsequent bullrun. 2 years of the best daytrading conditions Ive ever seen. It will happen again after the next halving. Also, all of my trading was done on spot, not a single leveraged trade. You dont need to take on the risk of being liquidated.
Best example I can think of when it comes to the release of dopamine was back when I used to smoke weed. I can remember noticing this for many years... I always noticed that the "ritual" (breaking up buds, queuing up a movie, getting snacks for later ready now, prepping myself to be comfortable on the couch) leading up to the smoke session was always as gratifying (if not more) than the actual smoke session itself. It's crazy hearing this right now!
You’re right, I never understood it at the time but even back then when I used to smoke I would always tell my friends that I enjoyed rolling weed more than actually smoking it. Something about the process leading up to smoking attracted me
@@sevendesign1805 Because I knew that my subconscious mind was asking for the wine with the purpose of producing it's much needed dopamine. And I knew that the next day I've had a software that I had to deliver, and my motivation to code would be lower, if I already produced the dopamine by means of the wine. ;)
The goal is not winning the shooting competition, BUT BEING the best shot, 24/7, and that requires no bragging, just and I can BE humble. Beautiful advice
The key is to know what you really want. Get a taste of what you want. When it's over, the lack of what you want will feel painful. Now you become motivated to get what you want. Not pursuing your desire becomes so painful that the path of least resistance is now doing the thing that will make your life better. The pain of not having what you want is a much stronger motivator than self-discipline.
Whats great is that its science, and yes spiritual paths knew this already. Thats why there are fasts, sacrifice etc. Now to only know if Jesus is actually real, and if we are more than just dopamine hits. :) I looked deeply and now I believe
I've been slowly understanding this concept through reading books about dopamine and relating to my past addictions but you have unlocked the formula to GODMODE. I've never seen someone who put this concept so clearly and straight up.

Alex, what an awesome way to explain the flesh and addictions! Real talk- my spouse is addicted to meth and blew our relationship into pieces and I just couldn't get it because we had everything we needed to succeed together. But at least now I understand the root and I can see how anyone can be addicted to anything- including me. Thank you for shifting my perspective. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. May God continue to bless you and your wisdom. So young to be so wise. Keep up the good work!
A lack of will power will almost always lead to failure. If you could have unlimited will power, you could truly accomplish anything! Interesting concepts Alex
@@armanngu yes TED talks are watered down and surface stuff. This is deeper thinking and the whole picture of how our brains operate in the real world.
For real, the Ted Talk was trash because it didn't talk about the inner workings, how the fuck are you surposed to solve it if you don't get the big picture. It took me years of reading psychology, taking anti depressants, understanding how dopamine and serotonin work thoroughly and then understanding the buzz I feel from coffee, alcohol and other drugs.
the rawest video I've seen on the internet. Whatched it from second one to the last minute and it only got more and more raw. You know when truth's been told, that confusing feeling, "contradictory". Because truth never hits you as you expected it to do, cause we all imagine in our brains sort of a pinky happy easy path to become what we dream of. Again, raw, great fucking video.
What a great practical video, Alex. Really love the latest direction of content on the channel. I've been keeping up with your videos since I joined source wave a handful of years back and watching you evolve as an entrepreneur is really inspiring. Thanks for everything.
This is very similar to a book called thinking fast and slow, it talks about the relationship between our system 1 of thinking and its pursuit for cognitive ease and our logical system 2 which only acts up when it feels it needs to
this is so weird at first i thought it was just another video with a clickbait title which would just promote some course, but after watching this video i got to say this is the most practical self improvement advice i've received. he just explained a really complex concept in 40 mins.

@@aijazkhan4847 yes or at least it was that good kind of click bate where you don't know exactly what this video is about but in the end you are glad to watch it
You coded your own game last week. I've watched a couple dozen of your videos. On dopamine especially, I've had business plans in 2012 and thought 5 years out and before I knew it 2020 was among me and no progress was made. I've slowly tried to adapt some of the detox concepts 50% with success but after watching this one again after realizing you did code something, really is a put your money where your mouth is situation. Going to delete everything and go full minimalist after Christmas. 2021 is the year
I 100% agree with all that was said in this video, but I must add, that you missed the fact that we CAN appreciate achievements after the dopamine hit by practicing gratitude. Being grateful in retrospect for what we have, what we’ve accomplished and the luck we’ve had along the way or the people who have helped us out. That’s how to get the dopamine hit after the fact.
1) Don't give yourself all the cookies at once. Make everything a small goal that eventually gives a dopamine hit. 2) Join communities of like minded people 3) Destroy overstimulating dopamine releases(get rid of fatty foods, video games etc.)
I'll save you 40 minutes. In short, if you don't train yourself for delayed gratification you'll lose. In the spirit of demonstrating this, watch the entire video to completely understand everything about it.
Amazing video. Just one questions I would appreciate some help with: "If you focus on progress and mastery to increase your perceived value, how do you effectively do this while not talking about your success within a community?" I understand there's a subtle difference, but I'm not exactly seeing it yet. Thanks!
Man he totally nailed it. I've gone on 36 hours binges playing chess online no food, drink just a couple runs to the bathroom. My hand like an eagle's claw on the mouse. It's all about "will I win the next game? What's my rating right now?" lol. But if I sit down and say , "Hey I need to learn C# for my next job about 4 hours and I'm done".
Yes he did that! I didn't realize that but it's said that the webinar experts always tell you that there is a big reveal at the end to get you watching the whole thing and really convince you to buy, Alex as a pro internet marketer is using that technique in youtube vids too! Good idea to use in our own videos to keep retention!
Thank you Alex, This is an extremely unique way to explain this paradigm. Congrats! I've read many books, have seen several videos, attended seminars etc but this analogy is superb! Thanks again, James & rescue kitty
Yes! He also makes a great point of: make sure you don't share your results and boast about them because then you're giving yourself the big cookie and you progress stops.

Recipe for happiness & success: Make the journey more enjoyable than the end goal.
@Lotus 369 In your example of picking up girls, you'd simply enjoy the pursuit of attaining a woman to its fullest, such as enjoying flirting, talking, connecting, bonding, etc and be a bit detached from the end goal of hooking up/marriage. Truly focus on the enjoyment of the things that lead up to hooking up. (your example missed the mark a tad bit)

Arman Ananian totally with you on that opinion man, this vid turned out to be extremely valuable
@@armanngu so true. Alex's videos are like a drug to me
That's who Alex is 😄 but the content is way more useful than watching some so called entrepreneurs talking about hustle
I watch 2 hours of it, if it's similair to this video, no bullshit what's'o'ever
If you guys like this video, theres a book called ‘The Chimp Paradox’ which explains this concept in more depth and gives you techniques on how to control your ‘animal’ in you.
Thats my 2 cents.

This is pure gold. I've never heard anybody thinking about this. This should be taught in school. Now I've implemented many of the aforementioned things, but never heard it so well put together and explained. Thanks man, subscribed ^_^
I see alot of people are asking for precise instructions, therefor i thought i would show an example of something simular that i did to motivate myself
I started running when i was young, because my parents forced me to. therefor i was never motivated to train more than i had to. then one time i figured i wanted to become a really good runner. this translates over to the video, where he talks about social value. Now, training in it self didnt give me that dopamine feeling. so what did i do? i bought myself some really nice running shoes, i bought myself some really nice training clothes, and lastly i bought myself a GPS watch. after that, all i wanted to do is put on my really nice clothes and start running. the training part wasnt what stimulated my brain. It was looking fresh, which again ties down to the primal instincts. the GPS watch logged all my sessions, it gave me data and really showed me my progress, this is crazy motivation! all i wanted was to get as many kilometers on my watch as i could. there was communities tied to this data, where you could compare yourself to other runners.
I know running isnt the same as creating a business, but the concept is the same. you need to find things that trick you into doing it. I am sure there are lots of communities for entreprenours where you can connect with other people and compare yourself to them. In the video, workspace was mentioned, which i think sounds like a good idea. make it a place you rather be than on your couch. dress up, put on some nice clothes that you feel really good about, but only wear them when you are working. it sounds silly but it might work for you aswell. look at your progress, compare it to previous results.
I think focusing a lot on goals is what ruins peoples motivation the most. if you have a goal that is too easy, you will have no motivation to proceed after reaching that goal. if your goal is too far from reality, you wont have the motivation to start. I think have a goal that is not distinct is what really works. not telling yourself you want to achieve this or this, but saying "i want as much as i can of this" or "i want to be as good as possible at this"
.
Find something you feel good about, and only allow yourself that when it is tied to progress on your goals.
Thx, helps a lot to understand the Concept better
*Here's the Summary* (watch the whole thing first)
1. *Burning bridges* (survival) and *proving yourslef* to community. (higher social value)
2. Giving little treats (*starting with easy*) but not tricking it as the big treat.
- Keep the dopamine trail going
- Measure progress and see how much u get better everyday. Not the huge boost.
3. *Don’t declare victory* over small things (ie 100 or 1000 dollars a day , first client etc)
- Separate Yourrslef from large gratification
4. Everything u do in business, make it give a little dopamine release. (ie *clean work place*, organized computer, Todo lists)
good summary
Hey this is great summary, In the second point of keeping the dopamine trail going, What are the little treats, any examples.
@@jaysonyata1992 That would depend on your field.
If you're an athlete, entrepreneur, twitch thot, entertainer, programmer, game developer, actor... Every field has different little steps along the way to the bigger goals that you can define as pleasurable if only you remove more intense sources of dopamine from your life first.
I'm a game developer.
For me every little feature that I finish implementing into the game engine and every little scene or storyline subplot that I finish writing is that kind of little crumb along the way. Can't psyche myself out over any of these little steps, but have to acknowledge how awesome it is that this feature works and all the bugs have been squashed. Dopamine release.
Then move on to the next little thing.
*self ;)
@@ronnickyjroy3 the key part is to understand most of the things you do that feel good even a tiny bit, are dopamine spikes (some other hormones too but basically dopamine).
Except if you're overstimulated, then you barely even feel that shit.
Meditating every day for 15 minutes and quitting some of the most stimulating habits (addictions) that aren't necessary for survival will yield great results very quickly, because it will make you appreciate those little dopamine spikes more.
Now, practical advice would be to indeed, take a moment to pat yourself on the back, take a victory lap basically, but never overdo it. I find it a bad idea to chain your minor victories to something like a candy or other external rewards.
It's best to just take 1min to appreciate what you just did, self admiration and positive affirmation, then move on.
This is one of the most profound videos on success on TH-cam, whoever sits down grabs a notebook and starts planning their dopamine path paired with their logical path, rewatching this, is going to become a beast in the upcoming months, the rest will keep on getting entertained and living in the dopamine loop...
Speaking of becoming a beast releases dopamine.

To make it short, you have to get connected to your goals emotionally. Make sure that your rewards are in line with your goals. Level 2, now you can kill these monsters much faster or better. Which means that your goals will be easier to achieve, and faster. You get rewarded too. This is what basically level/game design is in general. Keep the players on a tight leash.
What are examples of some rewards?
@@MattGarcyaDC If you are a gamer, maybe better gaming equipment.

I just watched it for the 3rd time in 2 weeks. I realized this time around that it is his best one and core to the changes I will be making to improving my business.
@@thinkpositive3667 I disagree, depends on the course of course but most of them gives you extra value which you can't find online for example :
a course includes a very specific information of what you want to learn plus the experience of the person who made it and his point of view, which is priceless in my opinion.
Often times you are able to get things easier and clearer when you have all the needed things laid down for you.
Its not that the person who made the course just took some things online out of the blue and copy paste them..
@@rvanbeau2009 How's your journey of Dopamine control been since this video? 2nd time watching this week.
@@derekviveiros2628 Thanks for the post. Reminded me of this video - I just watched it again. I should put it on my calendar and watch it once per month. I am are of this concept thanks to Alex and think about it many times per day in my actions. Every day is a battle against yourself to do what is in your own best interest rather than giving in to your impulses. I have improved in the control, but want still to do much better.
This video is so true! Great video! I remember back in my 20's me and a friend were gonna start a business. We got our plan together and got so excited we starting telling people what we were gonna do. Well...we felt so great and excited talking shit, and it felt so good like"we were on our way", that when it came down to actually starting the business, we never did anything because talking shit to everyone gave us the sense that we were already successful, although we never even started the business yet, and never did! We ran after that "high" that seemed good enough. Know, I don't talk shit, I don't have a partner, and I own over 1 million in real-estate. Be careful of the fake "sense of success". It will not get you anywhere.
How do you tie dopamine to business?,like i get the concept but how do you execute it?
@@johndelavier5132 You have to genuinely enjoy doing what makes you money. It needs to be what you get most of or at least a large portion of your joy from.
I already figured out by now that I have to go to the right social communities to get motivation and even give myself physical dopamine boosts, but this video made everything so much clearer and also gave me additional important pointers regarding mindset and designing the dopamine trail like a game, not boasting too much etc.
Honestly one of the best videos I ever watched, if not the best.
I appreciate the explanation and I understand about eliminating the quick-fix dopamine hits (fatty/high sugar foods, social media, alcohol, etc) yet I’d love it if you made another video focusing on walking through a deeper explanation, with examples, as to how you connect dopamine hits with work & actions that serve oneself in positive productive manner. You are on to something great here and I think there’s an opportunity to flush this out further in a way that would support people tremendously.
And for a little context, I just discovered you and your channel... this is the only video I’ve seen of yours thus far.

@@armanngu Yes! I agree with your comment. I say the same thing. In other comments, I'd read how Alex is "just another good online marketer", but really listening and watching him allows me to understand deep and valuable tips.

Alex's channel is like one of the few entrepreneur channels that i still subscribed too because it actually helps. Unsubscribed from Graham, Grant cardone, Dan Lok. Not that they are not good channels, but they are a distraction from my business - I know it's ironic.
Once you've made 6 figures, Becker & Sam Ovens are the only channels you need to go the next level.

@@JESSEverything wow congrats, how long did it take you to get there?
Started trading 1.5 years ago
@@valentin19998 I began trading full time in 2016 back when lots of people first got exposed to crypto thanks to the bull run. I started with about 2k. Took me a couple years to grind up to 100k. I was stuck around there for a few years and sort of treading water, paying bills but not really stacking. Things reallys picked up after the COVID crash and then subsequent bullrun. 2 years of the best daytrading conditions Ive ever seen. It will happen again after the next halving. Also, all of my trading was done on spot, not a single leveraged trade. You dont need to take on the risk of being liquidated.
Best example I can think of when it comes to the release of dopamine was back when I used to smoke weed. I can remember noticing this for many years... I always noticed that the "ritual" (breaking up buds, queuing up a movie, getting snacks for later ready now, prepping myself to be comfortable on the couch) leading up to the smoke session was always as gratifying (if not more) than the actual smoke session itself. It's crazy hearing this right now!

@@sevendesign1805 Because I knew that my subconscious mind was asking for the wine with the purpose of producing it's much needed dopamine.

The goal is not winning the shooting competition, BUT BEING the best shot, 24/7, and that requires no bragging, just and I can BE humble.
Beautiful advice
The key is to know what you really want. Get a taste of what you want.
When it's over, the lack of what you want will feel painful. Now you become motivated to get what you want. Not pursuing your desire becomes so painful that the path of least resistance is now doing the thing that will make your life better.
The pain of not having what you want is a much stronger motivator than self-discipline.
ALEX PLEASE, make more videos on this topic, elaborating the theory, goo deeper give examples of how you use. =)))) it was an awesome video
Wow... This is almost like some ancient shamanic wisdom bro.
Incredible content
Whats great is that its science, and yes spiritual paths knew this already. Thats why there are fasts, sacrifice etc. Now to only know if Jesus is actually real, and if we are more than just dopamine hits. :) I looked deeply and now I believe

I 100% agree with all that was said in this video, but I must add, that you missed the fact that we CAN appreciate achievements after the dopamine hit by practicing gratitude. Being grateful in retrospect for what we have, what we’ve accomplished and the luck we’ve had along the way or the people who have helped us out. That’s how to get the dopamine hit after the fact.

I'll save you 40 minutes. In short, if you don't train yourself for delayed gratification you'll lose. In the spirit of demonstrating this, watch the entire video to completely understand everything about it.
But guys go watch it all over cause it's worth it, I promise
Amazing video. Just one questions I would appreciate some help with:
