That's a great point. The goal is to be strategic, not delusional. I did not get to shoot models in the $40M mansion by sitting around and watching anime all day. I only watched anime for part of the day and the rest of the day I took an online photography course and networked with dudes that had similar social goals as me and that's how I met friends that threw photoshoots with me and the dude that setup the mansion shoot. The key is building social capital and turning yourself into a top guy. I feel like post-scarcity is already happening, all of these things now cost $0. Here is one of the best courses I've ever watched on social circle game and building social capital, shoutout to one of my top mentors in this area RSD Luke. Also I think that if you're gonna aim to date and sleep with particularly beautiful women then 8/10 is shooting too low my dude. You should go for 9s and above and really your perfect 10. Think about Leo's point on being God and manifesting your own reality. You're literally to my point manifesting limiting beliefs when your potential is unlimited. Learn the proper strategy to reach your goals and your options become unlimited. It then becomes more about alignment and trying stuff out and seeing if it really makes you feel good or you just liked the idea of it. Although I'll tell you from experience, I've tried sleeping with women I was not really attracted to and women that I was amazed that they were in my bed and one is about 20x more satisfying than the other. I'm usually a stoic guy and my roommate in Toronto was like, 'Why are you so happy today?' the morning after I finally hooked up with this gorgeous girl I had been taking out. Cool girl, we ended up FWBs for a few months and we would watch Death Note in bed together in between rounds.

There are some actual real bottlenecks that a positive mindset and good strategy cannot help you overcome that's true. If you are quadriplegic it'll be difficult to run a marathon in 2027. Biotech and AI medicine are looking quite promising, I think for 2037 and surely 2047 we got a real shot. I would be really optimistic if I was quadriplegic right now. Feel free to share your situation and we can work through if it's a real limiting reality or a limiting belief. 90% of objections to doing cool things in life I hear from people tend to be limiting beliefs though.

I started to consciously escape the chokehold of limiting beliefs when I was walking with my buddy in downtown Toronto a few years ago. We were looking for a place to grab some beers and we walked by an upscale venue that had good vibe and a busy patio and as we were about to walk past it I said: "Wait let's just go here" He said "Nah this place is too much" I said what do you mean? Let's try it out and I talked him into it. I could feel that we were both a bit nervous about being there as we usually just went to the cheap pub on the other street that was much more appropriate for people like us. There were so many pretty girls on the patio that my biology took over and here we now sat. Summer in Toronto is beautiful, truly heaven on earth. This place was more expensive than we were used to though. Usually we could grab a beer for like $8. This place's prices...? $12 That $4 and a limiting belief was what stopped us from going there for about a full year that I lived there beforehand. That's how sneaky limiting beliefs are. Another one I noticed that you guys probably have run into are shopping malls. In there are regular stores but there are usually also upscale designer stores where the cheapest item is like $500. I would encourage you guys to go in and take a look at what you like and take pictures of it. Maybe one day come back and get it once you get the cash but that's not really the lesson. The lesson is don't let a general vibe of exclusivity induce anxiety in you and tell you that you don't belong there. I started taking my clients to upscale hotels in the city because they had nice spots for pictures and usually are very open and accessible. Here's a shoot we did at the Ritlz-Carlton in Downtown Toronto. I started this event series where we went to eat at nice restaurants at the city and shot content with girls that we knew. It's something that would've seemed so crazy to me beforehand and only something rich people could do. Cost to shoot this picture? $50 It's also very important in terms of the type of women you think are out of your league. I started watching a lot of historical dramas with royal plot intrigues so I have a newfound obsession with princesses. Am I ever gonna get with one? I don't know, probably if I keep trying and I don't fall for some other lovely ladies beforehand. Turns out there are hundreds of princesses alive today and you can just DM them on Instagram. I think Chiara de Bourbon is very cute and I like what she's doing with her charity work. Did she answer? No. You know who did answer? This girl with 600k followers that came to my photoshoot. We ended up getting a $40,000,000 mansion as the location for the shoot also. It cost us $10,000 to rent it but it was worth it. Just kidding ,it cost $0. My buddy messaged a real estate agent and said we'd come by to shoot some content and give them some free shots to help promote the listing. One of the founders of a Pizzaiolo, a Canadian pizza chain, came by in his Lambo since he lived close by and was friends with the owner of the mansion. Super cool dude, he let us take pictures in the Lambo. Sour grapes is also another common limiting belief. Most people think that rich people are arrogant pricks. Some of them are but some of them are super nice and open to collaborating with people that come to them with genuine value. If we wanted to come by the mansion and bring some booze and get shit faced and throw a party that would've been a harder ask. Giving them free media to fulfill their goal and ours at the same time is a much better strategy. Once we had the connect my club promoter buddy actually did reach out to them to host a Christmas Party there. The price tag for that though was legitimately $10,000 so he skipped it. Believe in yourself and learn about social arbitrage, it's such a powerful strategy to get access to places and people that the average joe doesn't. Here is a very easy homework for those of you that live in a decently big city, make a point to go to the nicest restaurant and hotel in your city and treat yourself to the good life. You deserve it. A meal might be more expensive but a trick is that you can go to a luxury hotel and just get a coffee at the hotel restaurant and it'll cost you $12 instead of a $2 coffee from Mcdonalds. It's gonna be a bit better, to me a double double is hard to beat but the point is to just go relax, maybe literally meditate there and not to let a nice environment rob you of your frame and confidence. Maybe you can mingle and make some new friends too, I've heard hotel bars are a great way to meet single travellers looking to get busy upstairs.

You can use it as a distraction or as a muse towards actualizing your greatest potential. The dating market is so ruthless that it exposes most of your shadows and weak psychology so I think it's really one of the best self-development tools we have as humans. Bonus point that it's so fun and great and boobs my friend. Think about the spiritual profundity of that.

I think the complete opposite bro. I think it helps you distinguish between authentic goals and a need for validation. If you talk about your goals and people tell you "great job that sounds awesome man you got this!" then it solves the need for social validation in the back of your psyche and you now have your full brainpower available to focus on the real vision. For me I find that my real goals are so audacious that I have to speak them aloud to stretch my baseline and kill the limiting beliefs. Then I find myself more able to consistently work towards them without getting as much anxiety around it. You gave me a good idea for a post on limiting beliefs, I'll make it.

I've used GoHighLevel before and it was okay and helped but it wasn't really powerful or customizable enough to build my whole business around. I'm looking to either get into n8n automated workflows like this Or build my own with Claude type of thing, seems doable For me the unlock and current bottleneck is making it so once I figure out an SOP, I build an automation that keeps doing it for me and I can track it's performance. From there I can get them all to be more and more efficient over time while I mostly handle sales calls at the start and then eventually rebuild my sales team so I can just focus on quality control and business development which are my natural strengths. @Joshe I think you’re onto something major with this framework. The emphasis on deterministic gates and bounded constraints rather than just relying on open-ended prompts/memory is the real dividing line between a toy and production reliability. Can you share more about the workflows you're building with this and what type of projects you're tackling?

Learn business models and capital stack. As a software engineer, you are only a cog in the machine and should be worried when AI tools can learn how to do your task. Build your own machines and this problem will start to work in your favor rather than against. Alex Hormozi is a good resource in terms of making business easily understandable.

I appreciate the kind words Joseph! I would say it's more strategy than intelligence. Belief and strategy is most of what you need to make anything happen. Society tends to rob us of our confidence and make us believe we can't achieve much in life. That's why I like the self-development industry so much, it teaches you how to overcome all the limits and achieve your wildest dreams. Even here, I notice a lot of guys struggle to genuinely back themselves and their vision. I feel like I'm one of the few who post consistently about executing on ambitious goals, and ironically, every piece of skepticism or pushback just fuels my resolve to build reality on my own terms. Here I made a thread about my new goal of owning a castle so I can host cool events in Europe. Almost nobody else posted about their life purpose and wild dreams. I think it's because it's scary to put it out there, once it's out there people will start to tell you about why it's a stupid goal or why you can't make it happen. Good, you can then start to understand what stands between you and your goals and crush all obstacles until you have your dream life and you can bring whatever women resonate with it into it. That's also the secret, most guys don't live their dream life so they have no dream to bring women into. That's all girls want man, a cool guy that's gonna take them on fun adventures. Whether for a night or for a lifetime. You are that guy bro, just decide what type of crazy adventures you want to have and tell women about them and if you make it fun for them they'll love to join you on your quest.

I think that's a fair initial take. Maybe it feels like too much effort or unfair to have to put so much work for a lot of people to value you. Look at your profile picture though, it's of Srinivasa Ramanujan. That's not a random guy who you just like for who he is, right? He's a famous Indian mathematician who contributed a lot to the world and people recognized him for the value he brought. Why are you on Actualized.org, do you like Leo for who he is or what he brings to the world? Once you find something interesting to do with your life and share it with others, I think you will run into the opposite problem and have too many people that want to hang out with you bro! Don't give up, you got this. India is a great place to meet women, you should build a brand and soon you can host events in big cities and once again meet too many girls. Do you like the movie industry? I myself am looking to build a brand around Bollywood, Tollywood and Kollywood. The movie industry in India is very powerful and I'm getting into the entertainment business in terms of music and modelling so films I'm also looking closely at. You didn't tell us what you liked and are good at doing, start with that and you'll find other like-minded people that are open to building cool things with you! Send a message to @Deepak sadhwani he lives in India as well, maybe he'll be down to be your friend and hang out in person. We do weekly accountability calls he's a good guy. I don't know how far you guys live from each other maybe like 20 hours and it won't work but maybe like 1 hour and it's aligned!

How much do you use AI? If you are on the cutting edge then probably you can get a higher salary than those too lazy to learn AI skills. If you are part of the lazy ones not keeping up with AI upskilling then good luck 🫡

That makes complete sense given your field. High-ticket admissions consulting for top 100 US/UK universities is a deeply bespoke, high-trust advisory service. You have a higher bar to reach to automate the core relationship. Where someone in your position might find leverage isn't in replacing the counseling, but in distribution and administrative triage. How do clients find you right now? Do you post content or run ads or it's mostly word of mouth? My text conversations are all the same before I put the business on hiatus I had sales scripts and was training people to handle the DM appointment setting for me because it's really always the same 5 questions and conversation threads that happen. I think an LLM could easily do the same thing and I can just track the conversion rate to see if it works as intended. My personal one was only like 10% higher than when I got a sales guy to do it for me and I only trained him for a few days. I sell dating photoshoots and in one city I would get about 3 leads a day with a $20/day adspend and I think I could've probably 3x that before hitting diminishing returns so that's a little under 300 leads a month for one big Canadian city. My goal was to spread to US cities and big European ones and hire local photographers to shoot my clients so if I managed to scale it to 20 cities it could get to 6000 leads a month. I think if I perfected the system I could run it in way more than 20 cities too. I think I will get back on it in Q1-2027 and really set up agents throughout the whole process and I think it will crush. To me I think in systems and get bored with repetitive labor so AI is a godsend. My role will be mostly in quality control and new developing new product lines so I'm very excited to see what the next few years will have in store.

That’s a common misconception about service businesses. Clients don’t pay because they lack access to the tool; they pay because they don't have the time, skill, or desire to build and manage the system themselves. Anyone can open an LLM, but very few business owners know how to wire it into a reliable workflow that solves an actual operational bottleneck. For me I'm not banking on AI as the product quite yet, perhaps for my creative communities later in 2027. I'm a dating photographer and consultant so I mostly need help with the administration of my business not really the product at the moment. At the moment I have trouble with endless spreadsheets of prospects that have replied to my ads but I cannot effectively track them and reply to them with my current workflow, it's a bit overwhelming. Automating all of that would save me massive headaches and probably 2x my cashflow by itself. I also run multiple content brands where aggregating and analyzing cross-platform analytics is tedious. Feeding raw Google Sheets into Gemini has already streamlined reporting, but building a dedicated workflow around it will take that leverage further. I also have in mind a conversational AI that can coach guys on conversation skills but that's a longer term product to develop. What about you, what kind of operations or projects do you think AI could help you with?

@Natasha Tori Maru Yeah I agree with that, there are way better role models out there. Yeah that's fair as well. He's 20 years old though and he's not hypocritical, I think he believes what he's spewing. When he's in his 30s he will probably regret what he's pedalled. I still think he is a brave guy with good work ethic. Plenty of people with a better message are too scared to speak out and share their truth. That's been my case at times so I admire someone that does it continuously. Since you're a more public figure already I guess you just see it as the dumb competition which is accurate. He met Michael Sartain a few months ago so perhaps he'll be a more mature peer to guide him in the right direction I still would be shocked if the accusations come out as being accurate. Doesn't seem like it fits his character profile.

People will burn someone down socially for a mere accusation, trials are when actual facts start coming out. Until then it's jus pitchforks from bored or bitter people IMO. I don't find him cringe personally. Bizarre for sure but I mostly find him quite brave. He's the closest thing to a king of incels. He clearly has behavioural and social issues but he had the courage to keep streaming and made it. Compare him to all the dudes that never have the courage to put himself out there or worse like Elliot Rodgers who hurt people due to their own pain. He's truly odd and it's interesting to see him go on mainstream platforms and say the weirdest shit and own it and people clearly enjoy how authentic he is. Think about how many dudes think way worse things than him but don't have the courage to platform themselves. Someone like Tate has a vengeful and powerful hungry willing to do anything streak. He proudly boasted about scamming both the the women that worked for him as camgirls and the clients that paid the cam girls and built his own empire. Doesn't seem to have any deep values apart from an anger against society and a drive to power. Clavicular seems to be a more mild character who just wanted to have social success and is proud to showcase his newfound status to his audience. I haven't watched that much of his content only a few hours but that's my $0.02 armchair psychology reading on the guy. Also he's shown clear signs of wisdom for example staying out of politics and saying he doesn't understand it and due to his large platform he doesn't want to influence people the wrong way. Once again compare him to Tate who will do anything to gain more relevance and loves to deepthroat Trump. I don't heard Clavicular being really hypocritical but Tate rebranding himself as a devout muslim and man of God to me screams the Devil pretending he's the good guy and inverting logic to manipulate fools. I don't think rape makes sense for his character since he doesn't seem that bitter and power hungry so I lean towards him being set up and once again I could be wrong.

Same! I listen to like 20 songs mostly over and over and occasionally find a new one to add to the mix. Your song is cool, it has a satisfying groovy bassline to it. Reminds me a lot of this track—has that same atmospheric, sacred choir element mixed with the distortion:
