Big dreamer but only in his mind.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.

Keep in mind that, there is always a system for any problem. You just need to be willing to think hard enough and BE WILLING TO MAKE SACRIFICES.

Saving $10,000 is a goal.

Cutting off WiFi at home for a month or giving your phone to a distant friend for a month (in exchange for a Nokia or simply nothing) is a system.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Hangs out with loser friends.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
