FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early) ZP Preview

Gary Vaynerchuck is all about getting paid for your “passion”. His was wine and he turned into selling and promoting millions of dollars in wine. To summarize his strategy: (1) be on all the social medias (2) spend all your time building up your websites, social medias, etc, with useful content about your topic of passion (3) reply to people a lot on social media in a helpful way (e.g., tell them a fact about the topic of interest). Repeat until your name is known in the space and you can start getting speaking gigs and such.

Day 5/5 rest day.

I am excited for my new stack that starts tomorrow. I will be running Mogul (for all of 2022), Rebirth, and Emperor.

I am ready to be Reborn as a successful entrepreneur. I hope rebirth will help me with that as I continue to focus of my 2022 word DISCOVERY. I am planning on running this stack for 2 sets of 21 cycles, but we will have to see what new titles are converted to ZP format.

After work I read some of my business book, some Harry Potter fanfiction and helped my wife with a paper that is beyond my intelligence level, but she seems to think my business mind is an asset.

Day 5/21 Rebirth, Mogul

I am listening to my business podcasts more and reading a book on the tycoons of the gilded age.

I Also Started the Book Buy Then Build, How Acquisition Entrepreneur’s Outsmart the Start Up Game.

I am going to dedicate myself to build the mindset and skills of a CEO.

Depends on the niche and whether you can bring a fresh, unique voice to that niche. If podcasting is your passion, you should go for it. Your dedication and passion will help you manifest listeners.

I have passions that flare up and burn out. It seems to be a consistent issue with ADHD. My current problem I have to learn to solve is how to consistently take action on something and stick to it.

The one passion I have stuck to was FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics for 3 years high-school. I loved the team commadery we had and the competitions. Also who doesn’t love to play with robots.

I have been chasing that feeling for a while. I can’t seem to figure out what I want which is okay. I just have to keep working at it.

How about a podcast about robotics? Eventually, segue into creating a product you can sell. The podcast is the “tripwire” into your larger business.

That is something to think about. I’m not sure if podcasting is the right avenue for me. I have a lot of research to do in order to figure out what exactly it is I want to do out of running a business.

My niche that I would stay passionate about it is Fantasy. I don’t seem to be able to figure out a product to match the market in that niche. I have a hobby Instagram and Facebook account that I have been experimenting with.

I could combine robotics and Fantasy by exploring 3D printing.

Day 6/21

Feeling empowered. Applied for a different Job today that would help develop myself into an CEO mindset. It feels good to take some action. I have to credit Emperor, Rebirth and Mogul. I have been limiting myself pretty hard with refusing to look for another job while I work on my entrepreneur path.

Day 7/21 Emperor.

Had a good discussion with a Mentor at work.

WOWOWOWOW I got a merit based raise at work! (This hardly ever ever ever happens in government) pretty great stuff. Again credit goes to Rebirth, Mogul, and Emperor. Also of course myself XD, therapy and wife. I feel amazing, it’s a small bump, but in govt that’s huge.

I feel much happier with Emperor ZP. I feel more confident, but not cocky. I feel pretty relaxed as well

Day 8/21 rest day

I normally struggle with doing self evaluations for work but everything seemed to flow nicely I felt good about how well I do my Job despite hating it. I felt more confident in myself than I have in years past.

I am internally challenging myself to think differently. It’s a challenge, but I am confident it will be worth it. Status quo is no longer okay for me.

I got the Calm app (don’t think they are competitors, different goals) and it has helped with my sleep as well as a few breathers throughout the day.

Saint stated that Stark is about innovation and Entrepreneurship. That’s all I needed to hear. I will be adding that and taking out Rebirth for Day 1 of new cycle.

Day 1 Stark, Mogul
Day 2 rest
Day 3 Emperor

I find myself doing the more responsible thing than the easy thing even if I don’t want to.

Day 1/21 Stark/Mogul

Had very intense dreams about my father being a jackass after standing up to him, showing me that deep inside there is still a scared little boy who is being empowered.

I also had a dream of cheating on my wife but stopped as soon as I became conscious of it. I have had these dreams before but I would continue in the past dreams instead of stopping immediately once I became conscious of what exactly I was doing, I would continue.

Kinda meh day overall. Not great, not bad.

Day 2/21

Been thinking about business as usual. I am planning on going entrepreneur through acquisition route but if an opportunity comes along that a start up is better I will consider it. But it seems like I am setting up for the long haul of learning business deals, operating business. I am currently an accountant right now, I wonder if there is a better job that will help me set up for success down the road while I am building these completely new set of skills.

I am very sassy today. I think that is Stark shining through.

Day 4/21 Rest day.

Found myself doing things that needed to be done around the house even if I didn’t want to. Having serious doubts about business but I keep thinking the mantra it will all work itself out.

Romance scripting worked out to be very enjoyable.

Kind of feeling lost business wise.

Day 5/180 Stark & Mogul

I noticed other people saying life became on easy mode with Stark ZP, I currently have not experienced this, but who know maybe in a bit I will. I definently am a lot more sassy as my wife would put it.

Started yet another book called Your Next Five Decisions: Master the Art of Business Strategy. This book will pair well with HoM when it comes out. The first part to dig really deep into yourself.

I have been debating on diving into the MCU or not. I just finished to podcasts serieses on Stan Lee and Marvel vs DC.

No I’m listening to a podcast on the fall of Lehman Brothers. This and my desire to buy up businesses really makes me excited for HoM. The podcast is a great teaching tool about risk and mitigation.

Work provided more fuel to my FIRE desires.

I’m getting better at saying No in my work and completing the impossible at work and home. I’m starting to bust through my stupid self imposed limits. I have a lot of them that she holding me back.

Day 6/21 rest day

Started watching MCU phase 1 at lunch. I think Stark literally pulled me towards Stark.

Worked more on my self audit.

Also I learned about hydrogen fuel based cars and the process of creating hydrogen fuel. Pretty cool stuff.

I let things that are bullshit at work not bother me as much.

Day 7/21 Emperor

I has intense and wierd dreams. I woke up in the middle of the night and struggled to get back to sleep.

My boss tried some bullshit in a request of my vacation for 2 weeks to Europe and stated “I thought it would only be 1 week” The Emperor held his ground and held her to her word whether she liked it or not.

This is another reason I want Entrepreneurship so bad. One of the main reasons. I earned this fucking vacation, it’s part of the deal we signed when I was hired. Not when it’s convenient for my boss. FUCK YOU. I want it to be my decision whether or not to take some time off, not be at the mercy of someone else. This time I wasn’t because if it was denied, I was fully ready to give a 1 day notice and had my wife’s support.

I have a lot more confidence in myself and my abilities to innovate my way out of this mess. It’s a matter of when and no longer if. I am taking a bit more initiative than I used to.

It seems like my boss wants to hold me down or is threatened by me. She told me that she wants me to bring up issues to her prior to meetings, when the purpose of these meetings is to discuss issues we are having. Everytime I take a step up She seems to have a bad reaction to it. Now I know how well Emperor ZP works. I am one usually to avoid conflict, but I am just holding my ground and some in my environment do not appreciate the new Emperor. I thought it was Ludacris in other journals when I read about this phenomenon, but it appears to be happening in my life as well. I don’t think she is doing this maliciously but more subconsciously.

Was pretty brain dead after work but I will knock that to subs plus lack of sleep.

Day 8/21 rest day.

Intense dreams, intense sensations. I am recovering from a pretty intense reconciliation hangover (no alcohol involved). I pushed myself a little too hard this week and paid the price (correct number of loops, but was intensely driven and focused.)

I tried out psych meds for the first time and it helped a lot of the reconciliation go away. The monkey brain finally calmed down. It was a huge wave of relief that I haven’t felt in a long time. I actually feel naturally happy. So glad my wife pushed me to at least get an appt and see my options rather than given into my parent’s fear about them. I find myself not needing to drink caffinated drinks just to get through the day. Point is, subs help A LOT but professional help takes the subs and goes even farther.

Day 11/21 Emperor

It’s becoming a war between Stark vs Emperor for my favorite subliminal. Currently Emperor is edging it out because Stark can be well a little much. I am really excited for HoM though. I think Mogul, HoM, and Emperor will be a strong stack and focused enough to generate great results.

Unfortunately though my current side project requires Stark. So I wonder if Stark, Emperor, and HoM would be a good combination.

I have a huge mental block that I have just realized. Currently I only see one path that I can make moves toward now involves podcasting or youtube or something like it. Yet I believe that I can’t make my goal of generating at least $50,000 or my ultimate goal of $1,000,000 a year. I have such an issue of giving up ideas before they get started and I have exhausted just about everyone’s patients including my own.

Now this project at a glance seems it could be successful, but my doubts are my Achilles heel, I will go on days of creating and planning but with every day more and more doubt creeps in until my project is infected and I kill it or put it on hold till I fucking figure out how to make it work. Then while I am trying to figure a way to make it work a new idea that has me all roses and I abandoned the old one. I don’t know how to stop this cycle. I finally cracked on got a psychiatrist help which helped me 10 fold on how I feel. But doubts are still there and circling like a vicious hurricane.

I am noticing a fire of desire welling up inside to reinvent myself. Challenge my current way of thinking. Tons of business podcasts are really helping drive the desire for innovation home.

I am viewing myself as a high growth startup company that produces the business as a product.

SM in Emperor and whatever is in stark was very on point this evening :wink: really just had fun with it.
