This was one of the big problems I had when I at 16 finished the life purpose course 4 years ago. And if you look at my profile picture and username that I created back then, it roughly reflects my state at 16. When I was 13 I started programming and I was able to see that the traditional education system was not the most effective way to become a programmer. I'm pretty sure I also knew back then that I was not going to be programming for the rest of my life but that I would be able to get a job as a programmer if I ever needed one. You might say I was a bit too optimistic, but I had my first client I worked for and earned $ 1500 at 14. So at 16 I choose to leave the education system to learn on my own. I was faced with the harsh reality of no longer being part of a system. No external structure, no teachers saying what you should or should not do. I did well back then, but it was much more like that I found this interesting, let me complete a course about it and then that would lead to the next thing. The life purpose course was one of the first courses I went through and I still have the notes from back then. I have to say that the course was valuable but as Leo also says, he would not coach young people since they would not have enough life experience to be able to know what their life purpose was. At the end of the course I ended up with this life purpose: "I want to build a team that makes software that completely changes peoples lives" It is in the right direction as you will find out soon. At 17 I discovered systems thinking from actualized.org and later Getting Things Done by David Allen. I found it so exciting to develop a system that could take all the things in your head and organize it into projects and tasks. I then found even more advanced ways of organizing your information. How you could develop a Learnings system that would make you extremely effective at learning (A mini version of the educational system develop for self study) Planning system that would make you continuously be aligned with your life purpose Organizational system that would manage all information about the different areas of your life Right before I turned 18 I got a job as a part-time developer and this way I got the money to be able to pay thousands of dollars for coaching from different people who know a lot about personally managed systems. Now at 20, I have a very effective system that keeps me aligned with my life purpose. I call it a Personal Information Management System (PIMS). Right now I’m going through my notes from the Life Purpose Course again. This is my first draft "Unify Humanity In A Cohesive System" and my sub purpose is to "align individuals with their purpose". I know I want to help individuals with a bigger purpose align themself with it by implementing a system that supports them to insure progress. Creating crystal clarity about what they need to do today, that is aligned with what you want to do this week, month, quarter, year, 4 years, 10 years, 20 years and your lifetime. The 4 year and above is possible, but most people would get so much out of getting a system that would just manage from days to a year. Then later I want to help teams in companies, then entire companies and then maybe get into government. If you can see the value in having a self imposed system rather than an external imposed system (the education system, the work system at a job) that you can change so it most effectively supports you doing the things that will make your life purpose a reality then please send me a message so we can talk. Right now I really just want to talk with more people and find out what you actually want. Maybe we will also set up a system for you. PS. If you want then I could also explain how the ideas from leos video about systems thinking apply to a personally managed system.

I have started a company streamlining business processes and operations for small companies. I would like to ask the ones of you who have started a company which resources you used to learn about marketing and sales? The question above is my main question and this below can give a bit more context. I have got my first sale and been trying to do a lot of marketing research. All the resources about business would also be interesting. Leo also talks about building the foundation to be able to actualize yourself which is what I’m pretty much trying to do so I would think that there would be either some other who have done it or some more resources here. If you are young and also starting a business or you have a lot of experience it could also be fun to have a call with you. Just send me a message.

I felt really stuck here 2h ago. I feel like I had no idea about what I should do to move forward? Lack of clarity. So here comes a lot of questions and to be able to answer question 1. then you might have to answer the question below. To answer that question you might have to answer the question below that question and so on. 1. So What is the right next action for you to take right now? 2. What do you need to do to reach my goals? 3. How do you figure out which goals to have? 4. How do you find out what your ideal life is for you? 5. How do you figure out what you want? The why behind your action? 6. How do you find out who you are and who you want to become? 7. What is the process to finding out who you are? How do you go about answering these questions? Please be as practical as possible. And if you say follow your gut or intuition then my intuition says I should get an overview over my goals, problems and actions which is what I am trying to ask for help about. Like how do you evaluate 1000 of options?

The first one

What do you mean with "answers"? What I am trying to findout is how do you apply the things from Leo's video "how to became a strategic motherfucker"

Here I have quit a few questions about learning and questions I would love to hear you answer to. What is a question? What is a high quality question? What is a low quality question? What is the common traps when asking questions? Why would you ask questions? How do you use the answers to questions? How do you know if the next action you take is actually the best next action? How do you know if answering one or more of these questions is actually the best next action? And how do I know that asking these questions is the best next action for me to talk?

I think you can grow a lot if you take an internship in a stage yellow business, so that is something I want to do. And I'm queries what businesses you would say is a stage yellow business

If you know any kind of art that appeals to stage yellow. I have a room I want to add the feeling of stage yellow too. So if you have any links to posters, small sculpture or any other type of art that would be incredible!

@nightrider1435 I agree, and if he is going to do something better then he will do that. I want him to turn the ship in the direction of the light and making it simple for him is what I think is best for him.

@nightrider1435 How do you heal yourself?

Dude, you are killing yourself! Wakeup! You need to go to the mirror RIGHT NOW and look into your eyes... That person right there is killing you! Your ego is scared of dying so it is doing everything it can to get you away from self-development. The only way you ever are going to become enlightened if that is what you want is by following Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. You need a healthy ego before you can kill it. If you don't do shit, your ego (aka you) will kill you! So be a strategic mother fucker and watch this video to help you make a strategy to get Maslow's hierarchy of needs fulfilled from the bottom up. Take action NOW...

Here is what I wrote when I was half in the state of what I was in after the exercise Leo made in the video: Was this an enlightenment experience. There is no line between "my" body and everything else, it is like I can see some fingers typing on a keyboard hear a voice saying the words before white text appears on a black surface with all kinds of shapes and colors which people call a screen. My mental images show an experience of losing the idea of looking throw eyes. The idea of a context where you experience the world by looking throw eyes became clear that is was just imagination. And this aww over how reality just is, was clear. Then a lot of "monkey mind" talk started, and I was unclear of which thoughts I could think to maintain this experience instead of going back to a reality with the context of being a person experiencing the world. When I look at the text now, it is clear that it was properly a spiritual experience or my mind faking what I would think an enlightenment experience is. So I have 2 questions, how do you know if a spiritual experience was fake or real? And what do you do when you get to that headspace to not go back to your old pathers of thinking?

@Leo Gura I'm 17 and started to follow you at 15. I would not have gotten started on this self-development journey this early if it was not for you. Thank you Leo

If you are being simulated, then you will not be able to know that. So how would you explain being in a computer simulation? The simulation would properly be running in random access memory (ram). The ram and therefore the simulation could have no data and any data. It would be pure consciousness, the ram have the capacity to contain any data that would be translated into your reality. If you were in a simulation, would it feel like something was thinking everything into existence? That something like infinite intelligence (but actually the simulation) created everything. And be using infinite intelligence and pure consciousness to explain the experience of being (simulated). You would be a part of the simulation and therefore a part of a computer. The computer made the simulation with some specific physical laws, and because you are a part of the computer, you can say you made the rules. That you made this simulation, every little hair on your arm. You could also say that the computer is simulation an reality and you, therefore, are you the consciousness of the universe thinking it is a human being. Let's make it even more concrete. For a Minecraft character, infinite intelligence has created the world around him and the physical laws. The character is a part of the computer and therefore also the one who made this own arm. He has created every little pixel. A Minecraft character could have a physical paradime, that the things in the game were "real" and actually was somewhere out there. But everyone can agree that the block in front of you is not somewhere. You might say that the block really numbers in a computer, but if you are in the game and don't know about the computer then you will not be able to say that. Then you just know it is being (simulated). Everything in the game just is being (simulated). So if you think you right now at this moment, is being simulated in a computer... and then let go of the idea of a computer and a simulation... then you will understand what Leo is explaining. What do you think?

@Leo Gura Where can I go now and pay the $ 2500 for the right neurofeedback equipment?

Hello everyone, I'm taking the life purpose course and it is great. I'm at the limiting beliefs part, but I can't think of any limiting beliefs other than I'm not working hard enough right now to reach my life purpose. I just need to speed up a bit to get there. Am I just too stupid enough that I can't see them or just really lucky that I don't have any? I'm 16 and have watched a lot of the motivational videos on youtube and don't know if that might have brain washed my self into not having that many limiting beliefs. I also do determine sitting for an hour a day, that might help as well. I don't know how to explain it, but when I become scared my mind is usually silent so I'm not like reinforcing any beliefs I think. If I don't do something because I'm scared, I just don't do it for no other reason that I'm too scared at that time. I'm scared of things like people not liking me and so on. But I don't think I have any beliefs that reinforce them. I do pickup to get over that fear for example. I would love to hear your thoughts on this?

Hi everyone, First off, thank you for even starting to read this question I really mean it, to take time out to read my question and maybe answer. So I'm 16 and just finished with 10 years of the required education here in Denmark. I have taken the choice to take one year off to go make something for the market. If this fails really bad I can always go back to the education system, and then it is free here :). But if it goes very good, why not just keep going with my life purpose? A little about me so you can make a better judgment of this idea. I love programming and can make websites, I have done programming for 2,5 years. For those who know about programming, I'm mostly backend and use Node.js, Golang and Docker and of course, I can also HTML, CSS and javascript. So learning by myself is not something new to me. I really love to learn, especially when I understand the why of something. I also watch all new videos from Leo. I have bought a lot of udemy.com courses and also bought the life purpose course. I'm committed to using 10 % of all I earn on learning things. Then I meditate for an hour a day, with determent sitting. I also have ideas I'm working on. I'm also being to listen to audio books. One thing that is really funny to me, is when I talk with a teacher about a subject that is on a higher level than they teach they say that they can't remember it because it is over 20 years since they learned about it. They are literally telling me that they don't use and can't remember what they have learned in school. So why would I? Leo said that you have to go to high school and college. I don't know if he is taking to people who other wise would go work at a fast food shop. Or he literally means everyone, because he also said that the education system is terrible. In programming, there are a lot more people who are self-taught so I would be able to get a job anyway. Sociale I have also got into pickup, and are going to entrepreneur events. What do you think? Am I crazy or is this a good idea? What have you learned in high school and college you other wise would not have learned? Do you have a list of things I would have to learn? What am I going to miss in the education system? Are you sure it is better to go back to the education system? Any other thoughts on this subject?

@Erlend K I just don't know about the future after that. If I after that year everything works and I begin to get money what then, should I anyway go back to the education system or not? No, I'm not allowed to own a business at 16, but I can work in a new business my dad/mom create and then buy it for $ 0 at 18. I have another plan, you properly don't know this, but when you send a message here in this forum a lot happens before it shows up in as an answer. Your computer sends your text plus your login information to actualized.org then it validates your data, so it knows it is you that send it and not someone else, then it tells it to store it in a database, if the database will not accept the data, there is something that will tell you "sorry your post could not be posted, please try again", if it gets stored, it will look for everyone that needs to get noticed about this update, and so on and so on. There are thousands of lines of code to create this forum. This is what I love to create, some system that deals with data, this is also what makes sure that when you send a message on Facebook that the right person gets it and stored in the right database. For the customer, it is just a black box that does what you want it to do. I have some different ideas for how to get the right data and calculate this data right to solve some problems. I have two clear ideas and some more that is not as clear, one which is easy to make and solves a simple problem, another that is hard which can change the hold education system. I will do some more research while I finish the life purpose course, on the easier because that is what I can finish in this year. Then I can also get experience with the simpler one so I don't destroy the good one. I don't really want to talk about them here because I can't delete it after 48 hours.

I'm 16 so is becoming an entrepreneur already a bad idea? I also asked this question 1 hour ago here
