How does one succeed in life?

First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Procrastinates a lot.

How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
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.).
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
Cutting off WiFi at home for a month or giving your phone to a distant friend for a month (in exchange for a Nokia or simply nothing) is a system.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:

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.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.

Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Living to your full potential is a goal.

Hangs out with loser friends.
“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.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
What I need from you?
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Ask yourself:
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Making more friends is a goal.
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
In 5 years, YOU will still be the one making decisions. And if you keep your current habits, "YOU 2.0" will have big problems.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Does not procrastinate.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
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.
That's it for today.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Do not set goals—set systems.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
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.
