I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?

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.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.

PICK 1 important thing you want to quit or bring into your life in 2025. Think hard about a system that will make it impossible or inevitable.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
“YOU 2.0” is like your future kid. It’s your duty to make decisions for him. It is wiser to marry a nice mom for your kid, not just a beautiful wife for yourself.

Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.

The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Ask yourself:
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
