Hey everyone, Port of Aponda here and in this video we're going to go over your perfect life and your purpose. Here's what we're going to cover. One. Again from Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Duane Wade, if those names don't mean anything to you, they're great players. His, their mindset coach says from this point, and I mean where you are right now, your strategy is to make everyone else
get on your level. You're not going to go down to theirs. You're not going to compete with anyone else ever again. They're going to have to compete with you. All right, I want you to internalize that right now. You don't need to compare yourself with anyone else anymore. Next, we're going to go over deciding. We're going to go over purpose. We're going to go over depression. After
that, we're going to go over the wheel of life. What does it take? Next, we're going to talk about reverse engineering wealth and how that works. Then we're going to talk about guaranteeing the outcome. Number one, deciding purpose depression, some of you, I want to say like a third of you, actually came into the course saying like, I don't have a purpose. And that's what's stopping me
from being free. And I get it. It's really hard. It's really, really, really, really hard to figure out what your purpose is. But it's not because you can't figure out what your purpose is. It's because you're in a mindset where you feel purposeless. And so if you find yourself hesitating before answering a question, hesitating before getting things right, hesitating in any way, shape, or form, before just
jumping on exactly what you need to jump on, you're in the wrong mindset. And I've noticed this about some of you that have been on the calls, the mentorship calls. The second the mentor opens up the floor, you don't go, hey, I have a problem with this. You wait in your patient and your polite and you're waiting for other people to ask their questions. And that's great,
especially if you have the floor the entire time. But if you have a problem, solve it. Get out there, do anything and everything to solve it. Post in the group, post in the chat on the calls, go all out. So if you're not doing that, you've got to make that switch. You've got it, got it, got to make that switch. And start pouncing on things. So right
now, if you are feeling that way, especially after setting all these things up and you're getting kind of comfy and things are working, you've got to decide right now that you're going to grab life. And so in that state, I want you to sit down in that state and be able to take yourself to that state, that place where you're going to grab everything. What's your purpose
now? It's not going to be some wishy, washy, mission statement, value statement principles like all the exercise everybody does and kind of leaves on the side. It's going to be wordless. It's going to be emotionless. It's going to be thought where thought comes from. That's going to be your purpose and you're going to be driven towards it. And you're going to feel pulled towards it. And then
until you decide to start grabbing and until you stop looking, you're not going to get that purpose. If you still don't have a purpose and you feel like you've hit all those goals, there's a lot of patterns I've seen in the world where there's a lot of great entrepreneurs that hit, you know, the $10 million, $100 million mark, and they kind of just go. Well, now what?
And they kind of just start trudging through their days because they've hit their goals. Well, I mean, the best thing I've seen is people start getting crazy big. I don't know if you're in the version of the course where I talked about how Leon Musk got over this, but Musk had sold two companies, was killing it, hundreds of millions of dollars in the bank, and he sat
down and just said, oh, my God, if mankind does not become multi-planetary, it's just too depressing. And that's actually what was depressing him. That's why he was lazing around. There's an influencer out there that came out probably in the last five, ten years, Grant Cardone. You have the same issue. He was, you know, $10, $20, $30 million. It's worth a good amount of money. But he was
depressed, and yet all the metrics checked off, and you're going to be there, too. All the metrics for success, probably weren't already checked off by the time he joined this course, but are definitely checked off now that you've gone through it. And you're going to get in that place, the place we all hate to go. Well, the simplest way we've found is to 10x our goals because
our goals, the side effect of our goals is they impact people. Whether it's by delivering more products to change more lives, by talking to more people, involving them more in our mission, or just by inspiring people by them seeing what we've built, it'll change everything for you. Cool. All right, so you're going to get over that depression hump, and you're going to start optimizing for everything, but
we still want you to be something that we call well-rounded. You don't want to just have everything kind of poking in different directions. So go below. There's a sheet called the Wheel of Life sheet. It's going to say, here are the major tenets of your life, and we want you to be able to fill it out. So just go fill it out and find out, you know,
where are you right now? Where do you want to go? Even though all the blocks are checked off according to society and yourself, there's still other things that you can optimize. So go ahead and do that. Next is wealth. How do you reverse engineer wealth? How do you build wealth? Do you have this engine now that gives you cash? How does that turn into something like last
generations? Well, what I want you to do is go to the sheet below. It's called reverse engineering wealth. You're going to go and pick an interest number. How much interest you're going to make on your money? 10% is pretty audacious. 20% is great. I recommend going after 20% because you'll start going after 20% deals. Our business nets us more than 20% month on month. All right, so
you're on your way more. So I'm sure yours does too. So it's not unreasonable. Other entrepreneurs have to go find other deals to buy into. You're going to be doing fine. Go fill that sheet. Figure out how many years it's going to take through to get there. And you'll know exactly how and when you're going to get there. Now, once you're done with that, you're going to
want to be able to guarantee that outcome. How to decide what you're going to hit. How to adjust based on what you're hitting. And there's going to be three things that are going to change to hit that outcome. One is your activity. How many actions are you taking? How many actions are your business taking? How many actions is your community taking to get you to that goal?
Your intensity. How in the moment are you? How great are your systems that you can force multiply when you're in the room? How much can you shrink the amount of time it takes to get something done? That's your intensity metric. If you increase that, you're going to guarantee that outcome too. Or longevity. If you just live longer, your money compounds at a certain percentage, you're going to
hit that outcome, right? And so you'll have the years in that sheet. You'll have the amount of activity it takes. You'll have the intensity it takes. Changing one of these will get you there faster. Changing multiple, like combos of them, will get you there faster. And you'll have years where you can change one. You'll have years where you can change all three. Work on these levers. It'll
really, really change the way you approach wealth and how you actually go to the next level of your life. All right, here's reaction items. Decide. Decide. You're going to start attacking again. And make a goals bigger. Two, do your will of life exercise. Three, reverse engineer your wealth. And then four, pull those levers, guarantee that outcome. We're so excited for you to be here. And thanks for
going through everything. You're here. It's now time for the next step. Cheers.
