James Bond - EmpB, HoM, WANTED AND RICH

Hey all,

Been a crazy hiatus as I’ve had alot occur in the last few months. Lets just say… Im back to ground zero.

Can’t name all the events that has happened but regardless I’m back to ground zero with 100X more knowledge than I did before, along with a few experiences. To give ya an example… One of my businesses did 100K in a month for a client.

Took alot of great lessons from it but it really just broke down a belief of mine of how “difficult” it is to do 100K/month.

Anywho…

I’m back in my hometown slightly defeated I must say as the mental blow of going from 200K/month to 0 is the hardest thing for anyone to go through. Hence I’m looking to rebuild my identity to be 1000X stronger than before.

This journal is just meant to be a way for me to look back on my mental progress lately.

I’ve called it… James Bond Stack

For October - December 22’ It’s MONK MODE. So using EmpB.
January - April 23’ I’m maybe… switching RICH with Stark. Idk.

Emperor: Black Rock iron frame, confidence. Laser focused obsession on empire building. The. thing you need the most when starting a business from the ground up is just focus. I was thinking Stark… but I’ve been way too social on stark for my own liking tbh. Emperor should make me go Monk Mode. Which this next 3 months is dedicated for. I added this sub because the main reason why I got back in this predicament is due to my own lack of discipline to be honest. Lack of discipline will always haunt you. Trust me. Losing a 200K-1M/month business because of your own lack of discipline is a humbling experience. I’ve decided to add this stack as I’m also BiPolar (I don’t believe in pills, lol this can be a whole topic which I can get into) and sometimes I don’t feel like doing things.

House of Medici: This is a undisputed king of a sub for entrepreneurs. I’ll be running this sub forever. An absolute must have. The metrics focused, people oriented sub is the undisputed king for being able to manage a business on the daily. Always makes me think about wealth building. Makes me conscious financially.

WANTED: I realized that although HoM and EmpB is great. This time period is also going to be dedicated towards becoming the best possible version of myself. To be the ultimate version of myself. I noticed back when I was playing Wanted I had insane confidence, insane manifestations around girls and I felt like I was at my best physically. Lol. I felt like the sexiest man alive running it, like when I went out I literally just pick a girl and she’s mine. So I want to be able to get back to that point, as around January I’ll be travelling and this will be perfect as it will thoroughly be implanted In my psyche. I still get glimpses and flashbacks when I was running this sub haha. Let’s see how it goes.

RICH: My money beliefs are pretty good, but sometimes I stop looking at things short term. I picked this because I need my old rich mindset lol. Kinda hard to have that mindset when u back to 0. I’ve been having some great manifestations lately so it’s going great.

  • Woke up earlier than expected… I thought I’d Wake up super late considering the length of my dream haha
  • Dream was weird… Took me back to high school and getting cut from the basketball team… Really allowed me to go through those painful memories…what I got back from it was the main reason that happened was because I didn’t truly give it everything I had and did 100%.
  • Coming from my dream it’s like a common theme for me not to try my hardest… Idk what it is but it constitutes my psyche… knowing I’m the best or one of the best players but not getting those results is a weird thing I’ve had occur in my life

Noticeable Things/Events:

  • Super super calm… Like I always feel in control of any social interaction and internally I feel so whole and complete that I don’t need anything.
  • Getting things done extremely fast. Yesterday I completed all tasks for my business including onboarding a client in like under 3 hrs… It normally would have taken me at least 6-8
  • Because I finished work so early I ended up playing video games and didn’t do anything productive lol… We’ll thats a lesson learned… I guess I was so focused on beating the game that I didn’t rest until I did… Odd transmutation of that energy aha

  • I forgot to add this but I also had a dream last night… Met this super brilliant dude who shut himself down to working at a grocery store because he never pushed himself forward. That dream was like a cautionary tale for me really.

  • Lol a theme of lessons is what I seem to get lately… Story Time… I was tryna exchange my Beats headphones for a long time waiting until there was a buyer so I could buy AirPod Pros… Suddenly I get a buyer wanting to buy it immediately. Since it’s my only pair I went to find a pair of AirPod Pros for sale that I can pickup right after I bought a pair. Anyways all goes well until the AirPods “doesn’t get verified as real” I search online and apparently this is something happening as a glitch… I do the serial number and model number search and everything looks like legit so I’m thinking I must be bugging. Anyways I bought it because it was late at night and I wanted a pair that bad. I put them on afterwards and then when I try going over noise cancellation mode there was zero difference… Spatial audio was really glitchy sounding… And then the nail on the coffin the pause buttons dont work. Lmao.

  • I was scammed for the first time in my life. I was pissed cause I just lost 200 just like that lol. I was just pissed at how much of an inconvenience it caused me. Lmao It was the most legit looking AirPod Pros Ive ever seen… Im just hella confused at how they got the Apple animations and settings look the exact same. As well as Serial Number. Ugh im so disappointed in Apple tbh.

  • Moved on super quick. Anyways right after accepting that it happened. I realized I’m receiving an Affiliate Commission payout either today or tomorrow. And basically I’m just going to use that payout to buy myself a pair. Idk shit happens but end of day I can’t let it throw me off from making more cash

  • Lesson. I really should have just slept it off instead of forcing myself to buy a pair that wasn’t 100% verified by Apple. And it was my fault for being too trusting of other people. Looking back the guy’s story didn’t really make sense. As he got it from his “friend who resells AirPods” lol and “took it to Apple”. Theres fucked up people here and tbh holding on to it and not moving forward with it lets them win. I also know I can’t hate another person and gotta learn to let go of that negative energy. I’ll meditate more on this in the Sauna today. Also these fake pairs don’t sound bad, they’re quite loud which I actually like. These will do temporary until I get my Affiliate payout.

  • Solution to your problems is to become so rich where a loss of money doesn’t concern you or distract you from making more money. I could be all pissed off but thats taking time from working and actually making money. I used to make 300/hr lol. If this was a couple months ago I’d laugh about it and forget it. I guess I’ll use this as motivation fuel.

  • Broke a belief that I “need” sleep. Anyways I spent all night being up until like 6AM smh. Distracted. Going over my old phone memories… I was supposed to sleep at 10 and wake up at 4. So I legit just set a timer for 2 hours and chose to wake up at 8. I used to sleep less than 4 hrs. But rn I just got such motivation to push through and get that deal closed and followup for today. In my mind I recall the book I read Motivation Myth where he says 'Take Action and Motivation Comes". Lmao this makes me realize that all my sleeping in is me disguising my “efficiency” as an excuse to not work my ass off thinking I’m special. But looking back from my memories… I was special but never applied myself. Always subconsciously holding back.

  • Yesterday since I only slept for 2 hours was the most productive work day I’ve ever had. Normally I’d cast off a day with 2 hrs of sleep as an off day and write it off. But I didn’t. Legit just grinder way harder. Drank more coffee and got shit done. I was so disciplined it was crazy.

I can relate to that. Something I learned for myself is to become the person who can buy it with normal price instead of running after the biggest discount.

  • closed my first deal baby!! I’m hyped as it actually took much less calls than I have expected. Usually I expected the deal to come after 40 calls. It was actually my 10th

  • Went out last night as I have a buddy in town for the day, and honestly all I could think of was getting back to work tbh. First time I been out since the summer and tbh my buddy just got back from dropping 16K in a weekend lol. Compared to that the night was pretty lacking. Got me thinking of the amazing celebrations I could attend in the future if I get my business running

  • Lmaooo this is really funny how I got that client… literally he had 2 agencies same time working for him and 1 Agency literally does exactly what my biz does to a T. Idk I didn’t even really convince him why my biz was better I was just asking why he’s not seeing results as that combo works really well. Lmaoo I was defending that agency smh :rofl:. Complete opposite approach and he sensed that so he was able to trust me really fast. First call took like 20 mins I think.

  • Yesterday I managed to find the best ever software to build my agency SOPs!! I actually found out that this software is just in the startup phase but they’re already way better than Asana and Rocketlane, it was Saturday and I managed to hop on a call with their CoFounder. We had a great chat and ended up connecting on LinkedIn. Now I’m gonna promote the hell out of their biz as they have an affiliate program also lmao. Man what a day

  • Hella obsessed and focused. This is something I recognize being more and more. Literally created an entire SOP for Onboarding and broke it down in such nice steps. I must say this is really impressive for me as I haven’t built an SOP in like 6 months so I was actually struggling last few months in cognition to be able to build it out. Surprisingly it was super natural for me this time around.
