Hey everybody, Casey Zander here.
And in today's video, we're going to be discussing why men must stay dedicated, and specifically
why dedication is going to be the masculine forefront if you want to achieve any sort
of success within your life.
Now, guys, this is for the type of guy who truly wants to be full stack.
This is for the type of man who wants vision, mission principles purpose in his life, and
wants to be fulfilled, okay?
Now, this is going to be the secrets in order to obtain not only the type of dating and
relationship life that you want, but to unlock the level of wealth and quite frankly, success
in any area.
And the reason why, you know, like, I'll put up this thumbnail right here, just so you
can see like, the masculine transformation over time from boy to man, okay, and what
it actually takes.
Now, the truth is, you can have everything in life, you really can, okay, you can have
the amazing physique and strength by putting the time into the gym, you can have the multimillion
dollar business and income, you can have the robust, amazing, amazing dating life.
But the truth is, you just can't have it all at the same time.
I think that that's going to be the biggest kicker for a lot of guys who want short term
results in short term, quick metrics of success.
Because you got to understand here, we live in this, this awkward kind of Instagram age,
this awkward Instagram age where it's like, yeah, you know, I'm comparing myself to that
type of guy who has XYZ followers, or that type of guy who has XYZ bank account, or that
guy who has XYZ status.
And what's missing from all of this is the journey that it actually takes to get there.
And quite frankly, if you do not have dedication, which we're actually going to talk about what
that means is not from a week to week, not from a month to month span, but what dedication
actually means in a year to year, consistent micro 1% gain.
If you don't have that fundamental backbone, you're going to be in for a rude awakening.
And today I'm going to take you through that entire journey.
Now, the reason why I find this video to be one of probably the most important that I
have ever made, is because I see so many men on the brink of success like they could break
through if they just had this one trait.
Like there's so many guys who are smart, or they're witty, right or they're charismatic,
but because they don't put the work into the lengths and the depths necessary day after
day, repetitively, they seem to fail, okay, so you can have everything in life, you really
can't, but you just can't have it all at the same at the same time.
You have to take Pete There are seasons to life.
There's periods to your life as a man, there's periods and hardships, ups and downs that
you will have to go through.
And let's actually look at like the forefront and the backbone of success.
I'm a firm believer that the number one way to have success, whether that be in your dating
and relationship life, and especially guys who want to make more money and be business
and be entrepreneurial driven, is the first habit and the first metric of success is going
to be you getting into the gym and you building your body.
And here's why.
When you build your body and you build your strength, okay, you build your grit and you
build your internal mindset, you have to understand that a physique and a well rounded structure
and strength and low body fat.
These are things that you cannot buy in a bottle.
These are things that nobody can give you these are things that cannot be passed down
by inheritance.
These are things that require constant upkeep, okay, these are things that require year after
year consistent dedication.
So what happens is when you see a guy with, you know, chiseled six pack abs or great physique,
you know, sub 10% body fat looking like you know, their King Kong or Hercules a lot of
times guys will just see the end result of that they saw, you know, they make excuses
for their shortcomings.
They say that guys on steroids.
Oh, that guy.
That guy was dealt a better hand genetically.
You know, that guy, that guy did that that guy did the sack guys was gifted, I just wasn't
dealt that right hand and they start making excuses, right, and this victim mentality
comes and the truth is, most guys just don't, most guys are just too soft.
They know they're pansies.
They know they're soft, and they just don't have the dedication to stick it through.
They don't have the dedication to keep going.
They don't have the dedication to be sore.
They don't have the dedication to tell their friends.
No, you know, I can't go out drinking tonight, I have to actually do this workout.
And then I have to meal prep and I have to make sure my life's on point.
They don't have the balls to do that.
I am a firm believer that if you can actually internalize the traits of dedication to build
your body year after you you have to understand our physique and strength, any metric of physical
health, it can't be taken away from you once you have earned it.
But it can be taken away from you.
If you do not upkeep it.
It's the only true metric that you actually have the ability to obtain every single guy
that I know who wants to do better in business who wants to make more money.
Like if you just take one look at them.
And you see that they have a 30 pound spare tire below the waist line you see that their
face is puffy you see that they're full of alcohol.
They're full of Cheetos, they're full of bad food.
You will know right from the get go that there is no way You're going to be optimized to
the level that you want to be when it comes to business.
Just think about that for a second.
If you have a man who is actually on his vision, actually on his purpose, trying to accomplish
the things in life that he wants in business and make the type of money that he wants,
do you think that he is going to have one hell of an advantage in one hell of a leg
up if his mind and his body is optimized, if his sleep is dialed in, if he's not having
to spend, you know, Saturday morning and Sunday morning recovering from his hangover after
getting binge drink wasted, but that's what that's what it's became for most men.
They live in this overgrown frat boy lifestyle for their entire life.
And then they wonder why they don't have the type of dating or relationship life that they
want.
You know, the transition from boy to man truly is one that is going to require dedication.
And that brings me to my next step.
Okay, dedication, once you have ingrain these levels of fitness or these level of you know,
Body Body markers in yourself where you have maybe achieved like the V taper, you've achieved
strong shoulders, you just you walk with a certain edge or confidence to you, because
you know that you have done the work that most people can.
I have seen time and time again, that level of perseverance and fighting through those
hardships 100% of the time, copy paste into a guy's dating life.
And I'm going to explain why.
When you like how you look genuinely, like you can look in the mirror and you genuinely
like, appreciate and enjoy how you look that does something to your demeanor.
You smile just a little bit differently.
You don't stutter when you speak because you genuinely feel as if you've built something
strong for yourself.
And when you approach that woman or when you talk to that woman, you genuinely view yourself
as attractive because of the work that you've done.
No, make no mistake, I'm going to say this again, the journey from boy to man takes dedication,
there is going to be hardships, okay?
Everything in life is nervous when you first do it.
Everything in life is full of anxiety, when you first do it the first time you get onto
the barbell, and you do to 25 on incline for your very first rep, you're probably nervous.
The first time you back squat 315, you're probably nervous, you don't know if you're
going to get it up.
But you fight through that anxiety regardless, because you have dedication to stick it out
and persevere.
See, these are the backbones of masculinity that most guys are just not taught.
You have to understand how powerful that is.
So when a guy has not done the work on his body, it's hard for him to like how he looks,
it's hard for him to have the internal conviction was he when he is in front of that woman,
it's hard for him to have the internal conviction to view himself as an attractive man.
Every guy that I've seen, who has managed to do the work on their body, they typically
with enough coaxing and with enough understanding of what it actually means to be a man, they
can actually start to copy paste those habits into the lifestyle when it comes to dating
because their first approach will be scary.
Their second approach will be scary.
But eventually you're desensitized.
Just like you're desensitized in the gym, when you hit that first new PR and everything
in life, there's dips and valleys, everything in life, there's emotional hardship that comes
with it, your job is to stay dedicated and persevere even when you don't feel like it.
Guys who understand this guy's who have the internal conviction to look at their life
in spans of three years, five years, 10 years, they look at the long term ROI in their life
because they let life belong if they just let it.
Those are the guys who start to win.
You see, every single time I have ever mentored somebody in business.
Half the time half the battle, the first couple of months is just rewiring their brain as
to how to think and not look for short term gratification and short term spikes.
If your dopamine receptors are constantly being beaten down by dirty websites you shouldn't
be on.
If they're constantly being beaten down by video games, giving you the next spike where
you think that you've just unlocked some sort of achievement, things like that are going
to destroy your motivation.
Things like that are going to make you feel like you have a false sense of accomplishment.
Because if everything is easy, if everything is at the touch of your fingertips, you will
not have the dedication to persevere and to stick through and most guys will.
Dedication is everything in life.
And dedication is going to be the only way to look at the long term ROI.
When you first start your entrepreneurial journey.
You will wander every single day for probably the first two to three years if you're going
psychotic.
If you have enough grit to sacrifice and to stay true to just blind truth because you
think and you believe in yourself that it will work or if you will give up and you'll
throw in the towel.
And the key is you can have it all but you just can't have it all at the same time.
There's things of your life you have to get into order and there is seasons.
And these are not seasons of one day or one week writing down affirmations there are seasons
to everything in life.
My first five years was getting my fitness on point from ages 18 to about 20 to 23.
And understanding what it means to get on a consistent sleep cycle, not be drunk, right
be able to have confidence without being drunk.
Okay, little things like that we're building your body and hitting strength progression.
Strength PRs and holding yourself to achieving those strength PRs, regardless of how you
feel, because you set out to stay dedicated to your craft, that was a season, the next
season that you can take a lot of those metrics from that you learn by staying dedicated as
being stepped dedicated to doing uncomfortable things and taking risks in life, even if you
don't feel like it.
And that stems from going after what you want in the dating game.
And last, but not least, everything that I have done, and everything that I've seen guys
do, they can take these skills in both areas, and they can actually apply that mindset to
their business into their entrepreneurial life.
Because the truth is, if you want to escape, right, if you want to escape the fixed income
of what everybody else is in, you're going to have to do things differently.
And you're going to have to stay dedicated to your craft.
And that's why the only way like, if you look at the first two to 300 videos on this channel,
why were they all about purpose, because purpose is the only thing that will keep you inside
of this game long enough.
When you feel as if you have value as a man or value as a person and you're put on this
earth for a specific reason.
Like you feel like you have purpose to be here.
Your purpose is to work on your craft, your purpose is to work on your mission, your purpose
is to do these things.
You no longer feel like work, you no longer feel like it is work.
It no longer becomes about a 30 hour workweek a 40 hour workweek, like you could you could
be working 50 hours a week, 60 hours a week, 80 hours a week.
And it doesn't matter because you're on your mission, you're on your purpose, you feel
as if you have value, and there is something for you to do on this earth.
So the real reason that I'm making this video is because I don't want one I don't want you
guys to be one of those guys who were just like right there, like you were right there.
And you could have made it if you just understood, because they're looking back on my life.
Like there was so many guys in high school where they were just far superior genetically,
they hit they hit puberty quicker, you know, things like that.
And it's just like, far surpass them because they did not put in the work.
There's people who are far smarter than me, when it came to business endeavors like I
just far surpass him because I was willing to put in the work.
And when you look at your day to day life, as progression, progression and goals, you
must hit you must stay dedicated, you can turn in, you can turn yourself into one hell
of an animal, the type of person where you didn't even think you could become that but
it stems from dedication, and you can have it all but you just cannot have it all at
the same time.
There are seasons to this life.
There are seasons where you have to put in not only the weeks or the months, but the
years over and over and over to exit a season and use the skills that you learned in that
season to grow and develop and flourish into other areas.
So this is why a truly masculine man, you must have dedication.
Dedication is the backbone to getting whatever you want.
And sifting through hard times and having that grit and that perseverance will turn
you into the type of person that you want to be.
So just some food for thought for today.
