- Happy new year!
How was last year?
Comment below.
Did you have a great year?
A fantastic year?
Or did you have, like, an okay year?
Or did you have, like, a shitty year?
But this year, you promised yourself
that you're gonna make it even better.
Today I wanna give you a gift.
I wanna give you a gift of self awareness.
The gift of asking yourself some profound questions,
to make this year your best year ever.
You see, most people, you know how that works,
new year comes, they're all excited,
now they want to set their new year resolutions.
Oh, I'm gonna do all these great things,
and I'm gonna make sure this year
I get all my goals accomplished, right?
They are very, very ambitious.
Example: Let's say new year resolutions,
right after Christmas, after all the crazy dinners,
you know what happens, most people will say:
"This year, I'm gonna lose some weight."
I'm gonna set some fitness, some health goals.
And here's what most people do.
They get all excited, first thing they do,
they join a gym.
They sign up for a gym membership,
and guess what, they go maybe a couple of times.
For the first couple of weeks.
And then they buy that diet book.
And you know how it is, you don't just buy one diet book,
they buy 10 diet books.
Anyone who buys one diet book,
you can go to their library,
you will find that they have 10, 20, 50 diet books.
Cause in case this doesn't work, they'll buy another one.
And here's another diet and another diet.
But they sit there, reading their diet books,
eating chips, and they watch TV and they say:
"You know what? That piece of equipment,
I need one of those treadmill.
I need one of those things, man.
I need some of those gadgets to put on my stomach,
that will give me some electricity,
that would give me the six pack abs.
They buy this widget, they buy that gizmo's,
before you know it they've got four, five, six,
10 pieces of these equipments in their house,
then they become expensive dust collectors.
Guess what, by the end of the year,
they are still fucking fat.
That's the issue.
So, new year resolutions.
You and I, we know what we need to do.
We know we eat too much during Christmas.
We know we don't exercise enough.
You and I know exactly what we need to do.
The secret to weight loss:
eat less, move more.
Or, eat less, move your ass.
It's simple, but we don't do them.
So, forget new year resolutions.
What do we need to do?
Let's take money for example.
Cause it's easy to talk about, easy to quantify.
Let's say this year, and you say: "You know what, Dan?
I have a certain financial goal. An income goal"
Maybe you wanna make $50,000.
A $100,000 a year. $200,000 a year.
Half a million dollars a year,
or you know what, you say:
"This is the year I'm gonna make a million dollars a year."
Whatever your goal is, let's take simple math.
A $100,000 a year, let's say, let's make it even simple.
120K let's take 10K a month.
$10,000 a month, that's your goal.
So don't use the new year resolutions concept,
here's the concept I talked about in my book, F.U. Money.
You can go get the book from Amazon,
but I'm gonna teach this to you right now.
And that's the concept of D.I.G.
D.I.G. It stands for Daily Income Goals.
Daily Income Goal.
So let's say you take 10,000 a month,
and you break it down, you divide it by 30 days.
Each day you gotta make about 340 somewhat dollars.
Let's just round up, 350 bucks.
That's your D.I.G. Daily Income Goal.
$350 that you need to make every single day,
if you wanna hit $10,000 a month.
Now I want you to think about this.
When you get up in the morning,
the first thing that comes to your mind,
the first question you have to ask yourself, is:
What am I doing today that would make me $350, today.
What do I need to do?
What do I need to focus on?
What are my objectives?
Am I hitting my daily income goal?
What does massive action look like?
What would Dan Lok do?
Ask yourself those questions.
Guess what, if you're not hitting your daily income goal,
you are not hitting your weekly income goal.
You're not hitting your weekly income goal,
you're not hitting your monthly income goal.
If you're not hitting your monthly income goal,
you're not hitting your yearly income goal.
You don't need to wait till December,
and you look at a calendar and say:
"You know what? I screwed up, I am way behind.
I'm nowhere near making a $100,000. What is going on?"
I know exactly what's going on.
You are not hitting your daily income goal.
You can look at your progress every single day.
What am I doing today to hit my daily income goal?
Oh well, I'm kinda, I'm not doing anything today.
Well, then don't blame and don't bitch
when you're not hitting your goal.
Oh well, you know what, today I'm excited,
I'm fired up, I have hit my income goal.
You know what, not just, I exceeded my daily income goal.
Instead of 350 bucks a day, I hit 500 bucks today.
Good for you. Good job.
That means you have that 150 bucks buffer extra.
That's good. Doesn't mean tomorrow
you're like all slack off and slow down,
it means, okay, I've exceeded that today.
Cause there are some days maybe you hit it,
some days you don't, you gotta average it out.
Tomorrow you get back into it.
Wake up in the morning, what am I doing today?
What am I gonna do today to hit that 350 bucks?
And what do I need to do every single day
to accomplish my daily income goal.
The concept of D.I.G.
Isn't it much more powerful than some new year resolutions?
Because when you're focusing on something so far away,
instead of focusing on your daily activities,
manage your daily activities
to get the outcome that you want.
You don't need to focus on the outcome.
I don't need to focus on: I need to lose X amount of weight.
Just look at you daily schedule.
Look at your weekly schedule.
Look at your monthly schedule.
How much time have you allocated to work out?
To go to the gym, not joining a gym membership,
going to the gym.
The type of workout, the diet, all of that,
you look at your daily activities,
and you don't even need to focus on the outcome,
by the time the new year comes,
you look back and you reflect: "You know what,
I'm so proud of myself. I've accomplished all my goals.
Maybe my health goals.
Maybe my financial goals. My income goals."
The power of D.I.G, so forget new year resolutions,
set your D.I.G and watch.
And you tell me, come back, 12 months from now,
come back to this video, comment below,
and see what difference that has made.
And see if this is gonna be the year,
that's your best year ever.
