Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.

I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Ask yourself:
Losing 20kg is a goal.
“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.

Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
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.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.

Living to your full potential is a goal.
Making more friends is a goal.
That's it for today.
Hangs out with loser friends.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.

The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.

Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Can both male and female cows be milked? Can bulls also be milked?

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:

Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Procrastinates a lot.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
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.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
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.
