How To Transform Your Body, Mind, and Financial Situation In The Next 90 Days - Your 3 Month Roadmap
This is the resource I wish I had when I started out
Wake up, go to school, abandon your dreams, graduate, get a degree, graduate, send out 100s of job applications, earn a sh#tty income for 40 years, retire, die
This is your current reality, and its not going to change any time soon
If you’re reading this, it means you are not where you want to be
You go about your life, unsure if everything will be ok tomorrow
You get used to the anxiety and uncertainty
You think there is no other way to escape your situation
You think there is no other response
Society has indoctrinated you into thinking there is no other way
I have been where you are now..
I firmly believed studying psychology and working a 9-5 all my life was my direction
But just like all people, I did not understand the direction I was going in
As I age, I see people who spent half a decade of their life studying something..
End up not wanting to pursue that very thing
This is not uncommon, it happens to almost every student of tertiary education
Meanwhile if you’re older, you already abandoned your dreams for your 9-5
You think you’re doomed to repeat the same cycle..
And that’s not even keeping into account the saturated job market
I will say it again → Your current situation is not going to change..
Not if you keep thinking the same way you are now
Not if you keep your dreams buried under the weight of your compulsory 9-5 to survive
What I’m guiding your toward is a transformation
Something I wish I started doing when I was 16..
No matter your age, your life will be infinitely better than it was before, if you do this
This is the simplified, entry level version of the system I teach my students
It will make you irreplaceable in the eyes of your supporters
It will give you the ability to earn a stable income for anywhere on Earth
It will eventually give you the ability to quit your 9-5
And in 90 days, you will be a completely different, fulfilled person
Invite the dreams you once had, back into your life, and create your ideal reality - Ian Pierre
Step 1 - Discard Your Current Perceptions
No one is coming to save you
Your dreams will remain dreams
Your ideals will remain theoretical
Your financial situation will stay the way it is
Your anxiety will remain the way it is
Your life will not change
Until you do this 1 simple thing
Gain a new perspective on life
Forget your preconceived ideas of existence..
And engrain this into your mind
There is no such thing as a saviour
There is no such thing as a life without hardship
There is no such thing as reward without struggle
To achieve your dreams, you need to fight tooth and nail
The unique thing about life, is that no one gets out alive
From the age of 6-16, I did not perceive reality for what it is
I thought someone is coming to save me
I thought as long as I did good, no bad would be done or happen to me
I thought in the end, everything is going to be okay
Then my brother took his own life..
This one event, changed everything for me
It made me realize that life is not all sunshine and rainbows
That every choice you make has a consequence
And without preparation for that consequence..
You will be caught off guard by life itself
Right now you might be thinking, “But nothing bad will happen to me”
You’re wrong. Life is struggle, and unless you realize that, your reality won’t change
But just because there is struggle involved in life, doesn’t mean you can’t improve it
Just because you will struggle, doesn’t mean you can’t mould your reality into near perfection
Imagine waking up with no worry of paying the bills
Imagine not spending decades building a future you want, but doing so in 6-13 months
Imagine ACTUALLY achieving your dreams, instead of thinking, “They were dreams”
Image traveling wherever, and whenever you want
Imagine having endless amounts of time for your hobbies and passions
Imagine paying for daily needs without checking your balance
Imagine looking in the mirror, feeling proud
Imagine getting good sleep
Imagine forgetting what day of the week it is
Imagine seeing Monday and Friday exactly the same way
Imagine spending as much time with your family as you want
Imagine dying one day, feeling like you truly lived
This, its not just a dream
It can be your reality
I don’t expect you to read this part and suddenly become a different person
I expect you to read this many times, and slowly mould your perspective..
So you actually believe that yes, YOU CAN
Step 2 - Find Your Digital Passion
One of the biggest problems I faced is not paving my own way
I spent a long time studying other creators, marketers, and agency owners..
And then I started doing exactly what they were doing
This was one of the biggest mistakes I ever made
I was going to start an agency and scale to the moon
But in time, I realized that I wasn’t certain if I want to build an agency
This is one thing I’ve seen both universities and online marketers do
They sell you the idea of a future, without qualifying you for it
I have a degree in education
Almost every education graduate I speak to, tells me the same thing
“I’m not so sure I want to be a teacher”
And this is not an isolated case
It happens every single day, with many degrees
Why? Because people have a false perception of reality
They think everything will fall into place after they get the degree
Just like online marketers tell you to sell something, and afterward everything will fall into place → Chances are, they won’t
Its true that selling a specific thing can change everything for you..
But this completely depends on your personality and current psychological analysis
I got into the agency building game just after losing my dad
At first everything was going fine..
Then as time went by, my ability to do the needle moving tasks became stunted
Only years later would we realize I was suffering from chronic depression
Low motivation, lack of passion, loss of joy etc.
University and online marketers do the same thing
They give you a solution to a problem, without keeping your mind into account
Universities give you a solution that was outdated decades ago..
Whereas online marketers give you a solution that just becomes another 9-5
These are instructions:
2.1 Research what works
Right now, in the online space there’s 3 things you can sell that has vast amounts of data (I already wrote an article on this)
Pick between Coaching, Services, or Digital Products
Coaching is where you teach people to do something you’ve already done
Services is where you offer a service that solves a problem
Digital Products is just selling solutions in the form of books and courses
2.2 Pick a Vehicle
This is the part where online marketers don’t keep personalities or psychological state into account. They tell you, “go sell this, using this method”
And then they just go on their way
Meanwhile the person has none of the ability to sell that thing due to their mental state
When it comes to actually selling these 3 things to people, for someone struggling with psychological issues, a passive approach is more effective than an active approach
While this process takes longer, even if someone is dealing with serious hardship at that point in their life, this is still achievable
If you are working hard to provide, but you have a tiny bit of time during the day to work on your dreams, then you should do the following:
Start a newsletter. Write emails weekly. Get people to join it using social media. Promote affiliate products in the newsletter. Repeat
You will find that just writing, and doing some leg work to get people to sign up, is much easier than slaving away at learning sales, then selling every single day
Of course, if you feel up to it, that method would be much faster
If you are not experiencing much hardship, then do this instead:
Build a newsletter. Get people to sign up. Grow your following on X. Convert followers from X to your newsletter. Repeat
AND reach out to people on X. Sell your product or service (coaching counts) to these people. Do so as often as possible (ideally daily)
For an entry level understanding on how to sell any of these things to people, you can read my article on it here
If you want the step by step detailed framework I used to generate over $10,000 online using DMs, you can get my course here
2.3 - Sell For Passion
The most important factor here is not opportunity (there’s endless amounts of that), its IDENTITY
Do you actually want to sell what you are selling? If you are not passionate about your product or service, or the process of selling that product or service, you’ve just created another 9-5
Yes, it can make you more money selling these things, but if you hate selling or the process of selling this thing, your motivation to do it will be non-existent
I want you to look inward. Why are you selling this thing?
Find a good, stable, powerful reason you want to sell this thing
Maybe its the people you are helping
Maybe its the feeling you get when you get positive feedback
Maybe its seeing the person’s life change due to your help
Or maybe its just the money rolling in (yes that counts)
You need to sell something, because you WANT to sell it
If you don’t do that, you will eventually burn out
I’ve seen it SO MANY times
They learn how to sell something
They make a bunch of money
They think their life has changed
1 year later they are never heard from again
This is happening, because they have the solution, without the direction
They did not find this solution from experience or experimentation..
They grabbed the first shiny object they could see, and stuck with it long enough to see great results..
Without knowing if that’s even something they WANT to do
There are individuals who are mostly driven by money or success..
But they are in the minority
Most creators, writers, or business owners need to find fulfilment in selling the solution they came up with
If you are most people, then selling something you are truly passionate about, is the best way to build a digital business
Otherwise you will burn out down the line, and lose all desire to work on your current business or side hustle (and if you built your entire brand around that..)
Sit down
Find a solution you want to sell
Find out WHY you want to sell that solution
Stick to selling that solution for at least 6 months
You will make life changing progress by doing this
Not just financially, but mentally
3 - Rebuild Your Habit System
Your greatest enemy in digital business, is discipline
There will be days when you hate getting up
There will be days when you’re making zero progress
There will be days when you dread getting work done
There will be days when you’re not making money
Its going to suck sometimes
Struggle is part of the process
The best way to prepare yourself for this struggle, is by working on your productivity
This is the one thing 9-5s train you for, but its different if you’re working on your own business → Without someone telling you what to do, you’ll find it difficult to work
To fix this, you need to setup your own schedule
3.1 Software Is Your Friend
Every online marketer, creator, or business owner ends up using one or multiple of these → Productivity software
Management is KEY
You need to setup your schedule according to daily tasks
I use Notion for this
If you’re not familiar with it, its a multi-use productivity and marketing software for marketers, writers, and designers
If you want the exact setup I use, you can grab my template of it for 100% FREE here
You will use software almost every single day you are working on your digital business
If you suck at technology, you will either spend a lot of time figuring stuff out, or end up paying someone else to solve your problems
My students are taught how to solve their own problems, instead of spending a bunch of money outsourcing them
This includes sales, design, sales page and article copywriting, course creation etc.
If you’d like guidance on digital writing, enrolment has already started..
Grab your spot by filling in the form here
Decide on your 10 year goals
Decide on your 1 year goals
Decide on your daily tasks to achieve those goals
Stick to them
Remember, software is your friend
3.2 Make Time For Disconnection
In a 9-5, there is hardly any time for rest
Most high paying companies drive their employees like slaves, simply because they know their workers have no other solution to their problems
And no, getting home at 5 in the midday is not humane
If you really believe that working that long to make a sustainable income, then you’re still stuck in the Ordinary state of success
You need to work 4 hours a day max
If you’re working longer than that, you’re doing work wrong
At first you think its fine. “It’s just some extra work right?”
WRONG. The longer you work from 9-5, the more issues you will experience
Constantly feeling tired, napping way too much, having no time for your hobbies, chronic depression symptoms, lack of sleep, insomnia etc. etc. etc.
Yes, there are jobs with great work environments that don’t cause these problems..
But most jobs, by their very nature, HAVE to push you like that
To be human, means to enjoy life
You can’t enjoy life if you’re dreading the end of the weekend, and getting emotional at the thought of Friday
So with that in mind, if you’re working on your digital business, make time for relaxation
Go on walks, read a book, have a nap (You’ve earned it)
9-5s push the idea that you’re supposed to barely function properly, and that’s normal (Its NOT)
Most work environments are fine short term, but long term they are detrimental to your psyche
Garden, spend time with your children, lay down, take a cold plunge!
Anything that makes you feel relaxed counts
But always focus on getting in those walks and cold plunges, since they have scientifically been proven to increase neurotransmitter production, and by extension, cognitive functioning
3.3 Actually Build Your Body
More and more overweight people are popping up, and I know why
Exercising sucks! I know it does
But if you want to live longer, if you want to see your grandkids, if you want to still be around past 70, and if you are serious about living a fulfilling life..
Then you need to exercise
But just me telling you that isn’t going to make you do it, I know that
The reason I exercise has nothing to do with exercise
Believe it or not, its not even related to my belly fat (working on that)
I exercise, because it makes me incredibly motivated to work on my business
I’ve found that if I’m not going to work on my business, I hardly exercise
Exercise should not be the main focus of exercise
You need to find the actual reason you are thinking of exercising..
Then find the reason YOU want to exercise
What does exercise bring you, that you can’t get any way else?
Is it fat loss? Because if you really want to lose fat, then you’d exercise
If you’re still reading this part of the article, then you most likely have trouble motivating yourself → Motivation comes from within
Determine the short term consequence of not exercising, and make sure it REALLY scares you
Unless you’re suffering from some form of depression, you can use the method I just explained, to motivate yourself
Remember, exercise brings a clear mind..
And a clear mind is much better at building a digital business
4 - Systemize Your Process
Unlike 9-5s, running a digital business doesn’t have to be difficult or tiresome
Once you’ve got everything figured out, and how you’re making money, then you can turn it into a system
Automate what can be automated, and outsource what can be outsourced
Let’s use my articles as an example
Chances are, I won’t be able to outsource my articles, since they are part of who I am..
But I can outsource newsletter recommendation networking, that will result in more subscribers down the line
The best way to automate things would be by using email automation software and Zapier
The best way to outsource tasks would be by hiring a virtual assistant from a third world country like India
And of course, not every automation will work great
And not every person you hire will be a good employee
It depends on the software, and it depends on the person
5 - Dedicate Time To Growing Your Mind
One of the misconceptions about secondary and tertiary education, is that it is the only way to grow your mind (Its not)
In fact, spending a small fortune on “education”, is not very smart
99.99% of study materials handed to you in universities and colleges, are books written by some guy years ago that you can find in the library
Everything that’s being taught to you, is already in a book or on the internet somewhere
You write exams on those books, and lecturers and teachers teach out of those books..
When you look at it that way, it gets kind of ridiculous doesn’t it?
Sure, you can argue the certification you get is valuable..
But with that certificate in hand, are you automatically granted a job?
NO.
Learning things takes time, and you should only learn something if its a non negotiable thing you will REALLY need, or if you WANT to learn it
Forcing any human being to learn something is nothing short of, forget my French, STUPID
Yet that is how the academic system works
It forces theory down your throat, then when you get to the actual job you use 13% of all that knowledge, that took you 4+ years to come by (not including costs)
The current education system was not designed for you, it was designed for worker ants → I did a full breakdown of modern education and its problems, in my article here
When you read a novel, do you remember the story?
Yes you do.. Because its ACTUALLY INTERESTING!
With that in mind, here are your instructions:
Find a topic you are interested in
Find a book or internet resource on it
Download or get the resource/book
Start reading it
Yes, its really that easy to learn something
You don’t have to spend a fortune on modern education
This DOES NOT mean you have to quit your job
Your 9-5 is important, don’t just quit
Any guru, creator, writer, or marketer that tells you to do that, is not very smart
You need to use your 9-5 as a springboard
Stack resources from your 9-5, then use those resources to build your business
Hire a coach, buy courses, pay for community subscriptions etc.
Invest in your personal education, AND your business education
Due to unforeseen circumstances, I’m studying a 1 year $4000 higher certificate course in graphic design, and 100% of the information they teach us, is on the internet.
They link us back to an online learning platform, I could just have payed a tiny subscription for
Modern education is outdated
I’ll be talking about this for a while, but I’m writing a book
Its in the same educational style, with the philosophical perspectives, quotes, and deep psychology takes, as my articles
Its based on the life philosophy I developed, after years of loss and suffering
Its called “On Mortality”, grab it below
That’s it for today from me
I hope this helped, have a great day 🥂
