Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Ask yourself:

How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.

Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Why is the government destroying the homeless instead of helping them?
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
In 5 years, YOU will still be the one making decisions. And if you keep your current habits, "YOU 2.0" will have big problems.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Procrastinates a lot.
What's the most incredible coincidence that ever happened to you?
Hangs out with loser friends.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Porn blockers might help, but they won’t be as effective. And you know nudity isn’t just on Pornhub—it’s everywhere. Don’t joke with fire.

Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
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.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.

Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
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.
“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.
Making more friends is a goal.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
That's it for today.

What I need from you?
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Does not procrastinate.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
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.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
