Every video game has a skill tree that’s because they want you to know how to progress through the game and actually get better and have a visual representation for how you have progressed through the game you usually start off the game having no skills no points no experience but as you go up
And you reach the late game you become a force of nature so I’ve always wondered what a skill tree for real life would be and what I’m going to show you right now is the skill tree which I’ve been using since 2018 this skill tree is going to
Contain nine metrics and these nine metrics are going to allow you to do two things first it’s going to show you a snapshot of your life as it is right now and with it you’re going to be able to create a high resolution image of your
Life in one year and 10 years time so you actually have a destination that you can have a direct plan towards so this is the tool that you’re going to use to create your one-ear plan and does it work absolutely it works I’ve been using it since 2018 gives me a high resolution
Image of what I achieved in the past year and gives me a clear Focus as to what to do the next coming year the way the this works is there are three inner vertices which are the core of this framework and the very first one is of
Course Health it’s Fitness so I’m going to go ahead and draw a dumbbell here to symbolize Fitness there we go and what do I mean by Fitness I don’t necessarily mean get jacked as possible I am talking about vitality and vigor and energy in life I’m talking about having the energy
And drive and mental resilience to push through any obstacle and actually achieve your goals I’m talking about a baseline level of Health which goes throughout your life I’m talking about hormonal Health which is the basis for strong physical body and also a clear mind of course that is a topic onto
Itself but that is really the first metric which gives you access to the second metric which is finances so often time our first goal is to make money this is backwards you need to First have the mental bandwidth to think about how to make money you need to have the
Physical endurance to actually do the work required to to make money so you start off with Fitness and use that as a resource towards building your wealth and the second metric is the dollar sign which is finances so basically your Baseline for Fitness is can you see your
Abs and do you have a score about 500 and the Baseline score for finances is if you’re making $110,000 per month that’s your Baseline if you want to achieve more than that awesome if you have this and this dialed in then you have unlocked the New Frontier which is
Freedom with a baseline of health and a baseline of finances you know have access to Freedom I’m going to try to draw an eagle here let’s see how well that comes out there we go Eagle as a symbol of Freedom so let’s recap a little bit this is your tier one let me
Actually write that down so tier one has three components which is Fitness finances and freedom and when I’m speaking of Freedom I’m specifically talking about time and geography Freedom a reasonable ability to travel where you want and a reasonable ability to work when you want and you’ll notice that all
The comps of tier one are completely depending on you you don’t really need anybody to give you permission or give you even help you can achieve all these by yourself you’ll have all the resources available online to learn how to do any of these things you can refer
To my earlier videos on how to have the perfect nutrition I even have a nutrition course at this point but once you’ve done that then you start making money when you have freedom and when you have finances you are able to serve your family this could be your parents or it
Could be your kids if you have any so with freedom of time and with actual financials you can serve your family they put down the symbol for family just a cute little genealogy chart so you see how this is like a skill tree right you unlock Fitness that allows you to unlock
Finances you unlock finances that allows you to unlock loock Freedom when you unlock freedom and when you unlock finances you have the ability to unlock family and when you have Fitness and when you have freedom that’s when you are going to make your best friends at
This point you have the ability to build a fraternity A brotherhood so with freedom and fitness you’ll have the respect of others you’ll have the respect of men just like you and with that respect you build fraternity I’m going to try to draw a handshake if I
Can and that is our second tier 2 metric so tier two we have family fraternity and the third one when you have a degree of fitness and a degree of finances you are now attractive to females for the first time you can unlock the feminine
So you have now access to a new skill or new metric of embracing the feminine aspects of life that means it could be a wife it could be a girlfriend not sure what that is for you but it’s only after you unlock these two that this tier really becomes accessible but you see
This is still incomplete there is another tier which is missing from this a tier that’s grander and greater than anything on the diagram so far this is tier three and you’ll notice that in tier two you’re depending on other people family requires interaction with other people fraternity requires
Interaction with other men the feminine requires interaction with women whereas tier one was mostly just yourself tier three is interesting back cuz it involves others but truly it’s a inwards journey let’s start off with finances so finances when you upgrade this to tier three looks like this it is the
Foundation it is the Legacy that you leave behind this is beyond just making money this is the thing which you leave behind when you die this is the thing that you’ll be remembered for this is the foundation you will create create something you’ll create something that
Endures past your life this could be a work of art it could be a book series that you write it could be YouTube videos for all I know it could be a business it could be a physical structure this is a thing which gives you immortality this is the foundation
This is the tier three this is above just making money and the same way you can level up your game with Fitness so Fitness is basically having a high level of testosterone a high level of Fitness you have end you have muscle cool but there’s a level above that and it’s
Called flow when you are doing a physical activity which requires your 100% concentration and it requires a level of skill that you are at the periphery of your ability that is to say like if you’re playing tennis and you’re playing with a guy who’s just slightly better than you if you really push
Yourself and you can match his Pace you are in a flow State and Flow State doesn’t have to be physical Flow State could be artistic for example a writer who’s really writing an essay which is very difficult for him at the edge of his ability to communicate that could
Leave him in a flow state if you’re a public speaker and you’re giving a speech about a difficult topic you’re trying to communicate a complex idea you could be in a flow state so flow state is basically your physicality but it’s accelerated to the highest possible
Level so your flow state is when you’re pushing your ability so hard that there’s a real risk of failure and to do this you need to get really good so this is not just your Baseline anymore this is when you are truly building a art
Form out of your body this is flow I’m not sure how to draw a wave I’ll try okay that’s my best approximation of a wave looks like garbage I know but hey the best I can do at this point and that is your upgraded form your upgraded tier
Of fitness and the same way you can upgrade your freedom as well what you’re going to realize is even though you’ve achieved so much there’s still going to be an inner layer of fulfillment you still need to achieve so we complete this the second item in tier three is
Flow and the third is fulfillment that’s what you get when you upgrade Freedom I’m going to draw myself meditating and the thing here is I have not achieved this right I don’t really know how this feels like but I but I’ve had glimpses of it when you’re truly satisfied with
Your accomplishments in life that’s when you have a feeling of true fulfillment and that is your tier three so this is tier one the inner triangle tier two is one step accelerated and tier 3 is even more broad even more deep now the question is how do you use all this
Framework to create your actual one-year plan and the answer is you will create yourself a table and on the table you’re going to have the current state and you’re going to have your desired state I’m going to use these as prompts to write about your current and desired
State so you’ll go ahead and start with tier one your Fitness financials and freedom write down your current state of Fitness so for me I’m about 1 70 fairly lean that’s going to be my current state my desired state so I’m going to write my current state I’m going to write my
Desired State my desired State is1 180 at the same level of leanness so that’s my desired goal at the end of the year regarding finances my current state is 10K per month my desired state is 30k per month regarding freedom I actually very happy with my progress over the
Year so you can also use this to assay your past Year’s performance over the past year I’ve built out this YouTube channel I’ve built courses I’ve built a community and to achieve full-time status on YouTube in a year that’s a big achievement in my opinion so I’m very
Happy with my progress towards Freedom so I’m going to write my current state of Freedom how much freedom I have right now and then my desired state in the same way I’m going to go to tier two right now my family I don’t really support them as much as I could the
Desired state is I’ve retired my parents so that’s my desired state for family regarding fortunity over the past year I created a private Community a paid private Community called the Country Club and that gives me a sense of fraternity with my like-minded peers however I want to take this to the next
Level I want to do in-person events with them so that would be my current state is KCC as it is and my desired state is to incorporate Live Events and right now that’s all the metrics that I’m going to focus on for the next 6 months I’m going
To focus on just these I’m just going to focus on Fitness finances freedom family and fortunity once I’m comfortable in those metrics then I will progress on to embracing the feminine the foundations of my legacy achieving the Flow State and achieving fulfillment because like I said this is a skill tree you cannot
Focus on everything at the same time you have to go Peace by peace and yet there’s actually one component which I’ve purposely left out until this moment because I only want to share this with those who have stuck with the entire video at this point the final
Component is Faith and you can interpret faith in the way that you want the way that it works for you but at the foundational level this is Faith in oneself This Is Blind Faith blind faith in your destiny that no matter what happens that you have a destiny to
Fulfill you don’t need any signs you don’t need any justifications you don’t need logic you don’t need reason this is meant to be blind faith and that is at the center of it all I’m going to draw a crown to represent its importance this is the most important tier and you can
Start off your journey and you can sustain your journey only once you have a degree of faith in your success before you achieve anything thing and there we have it boys that is the skill tree that is the 9f framework I can actually help you a little bit more so regarding nutrition
And fitness specifically I’m going to provide you the esoteric food pyramid which really gives you an understanding of what nutrition really looks like
