The Most Essential Element to Getting What You Want
Ok so, my testosterone levels must have been on Mars here because I just got back from the gym, and BLASTED my way through the video.
Let’s make a couple of things a little more clear. I’m not sure how well you could hear me with that “Fabolous“ bumpin’ in the background. Shit, i’m not sure how well i could hear myself.
How to get what you want.
1. Describe *in detail* everything you can about it.
2. Know WHY you want it.
3. Find and apply the best strategy available for getting it.
Here’s a BIG bonus piece to keep in mind.
4. Ask yourself who you need to become as a person to achieve this…..
What *inner conflicts* do you need to handle within yourself?
What characteristics do you need to develop to be equipped to do this?
Cheers to us developing the characteristics we need to get what we want!
Ooooooooooooon PURPOSE!

Seriously appreciate the enthusiasm and clarity, bro.

Killing it in another video WHOOOOP WHOOOP!!!
I love that bonus piece too, so true. That was a huge deal to me when I realized, if I want to be doing bigger better things, then I HAVE to become a bigger and better person. We all know how some people feel about personal development, how they feel it is corny, or cheesebally…. The reality is, if you do not personally develop, or grow, then you will always be in the same situation, as the same person.
Not the way I want to live, so in order to be where I need to be, I gotta grow into the person I want to become!!!
Surfs up,

Sup Jacob,
Great tips in the video. I need to start writing down what I want and the goals to get there that float around upstairs in my head. It looks like all I need is spiral notebook and a pic of Brian Johnson on my peg board to get going. hahahaha Love that guys work. Take care!

Duuuuude,
"Personal development isn't about reading Deepak's latest book, or walking on fire with Tony Robbins, its about *PERSONALLY DEVELOPING!*" Mmmmm… Amen ;)Love this post Jacob… Really good stuff!
PS- regarding the *hot topic* I don't have anything against the bathroom door being open… I too believe in airing the bathroom… it's nicer that way… Just when you are sharing your wisdom it's a little distracting having the toilet seat in view ;) But I love the wisdom all the same… door open or closed… the authenticity speaks far louder! ;)
Loving your work and keep following that path homey ;)

LOL…just for clarification, it was the toilet seat up that was distracting me. I am a habitual leaver of the bathroom door open…so, I get caught every time I have company!!
GREAT video…LOVE LOVE LOVE the energy you have. Just getting on my path of compantionship…dare I say, LOVE. My first step, is to just be happy with myself alone right now. I spent way to many years with a man that didn't even come close to any of my desires. Now I need to be at peace with being alone, so I can better focus on what I truly want from a relationship.
Although I believe out lists would be pretty similar!! xoxo

Man this list thing is really a cool idea! I haven't done anything like this before. I can see how you can apply this to almost any area of your life. Quick question.. When you're writing a journal entry and you've finished writing it for that day. Do you refer back to it from time to time..say a couple days later.

The more I watch your videos the more I love them…"idiosyncrasy, I don't even know if that's the right usage of that word right there" lol…adorable!
I know I made a list a few years back- I wanted someone who was musical, had a college education, loved and valued family and had financial/career goals in life. When I moved out to Chicago- I met a man that might as well stepped off my list, it was crazy. It didn't work out though- he ended it because we were too "different" in our upbringings (turns out, his family was loaded and had a vacation home in Colorado and Spanish stallions 'for fun') and I of course, was a grad student who was working her butt off to make ends meet at the time… regardless- at first I was totally heartbroken (especially for being flat out told that I was too broke for him to see a future with) and discouraged- then I had an epiphany: "If I could find one guy that met my criteria, I'm sure I could find another (it's a big world!) and this time, he won't judge me solely based on what his parents/grandparents will think of my "upbringing""
Honestly- I don't need a guy that bases the relationship on whether or not his Grandma will accept me into the family or not! I know though, when I sail by his place in my yacht it'll be hilarious. ;) I know if it can be done once, it can be done again- and this time, I'll have better criteria for the list "NO DOUCHEBAGS" that's a must! hahah

WOW Jacob, your energy combined with the cappuccino I just finished at 9:00 on this Monday morning is enough to set my world on FIRE…I'm heading over to the gym!!
Seriously though….nr. 4…this is the heavy weight, and it truly is the key to unlocking the door to what I want to achieve!! When I answer these questions and FEEL them in my soul then the path and work to be done are crystal clear. The laser focus has been achieved….the kryptonite has been destroyed.
As always Jacob, thanks for creating the opportunity to contemplate my purpose in a very exact and real way. With baby steps and determination I move forward, and today I have a new set of questions to consider.
OK, ….I have a suggestion regarding the whole bathroom door discussion…reposition your chair slightly so that you are recording your videos with your fabulous hand painted wall behind you. The inspiration of your words will also be our inspiration…: )
love and light to all….
