Luck is a lagging measure. Came across a note about this on Substack. Vadim Zeland also talks about this in his book "Reality Transfurfing" now that I think of it. Luck is a lagging measure. It often takes years to connect cause and effect, so most don’t bother. - You publish an essay in 2022 - It brings you an investor in 2025. - You make an introduction in 2025 - It brings you an introduction in 2027. The lag makes it hard to motivate yourself to do it because you don’t know when the return will be. Tracking your luck inputs might be a way to stay motivated and inspired throughout the process. - introductions made - people helped - bets placed. Trust that if you maintain a high luck input rate, the luck outputs take care of themselves. You can’t control the timing of luck, but you can control the volume of luck inputs you create. Time to start a list for the last stretch of 2025. PS: If you want a tracker to track things like this... drop me a DM. I've made a tracker bot, that runs completely within Whatsapp. More info on www.lockintracker.com

Five months ago I woke up with crippling anxiety around a project I just knew I had to build. Every morning came with a new wave of "what ifs". What if I fail. What if it goes wrong. What if I ruin everything. I used to bulldoze through those thoughts thinking I crushed them. However, that usually ends up with hitting walls haha. Often in very spectacular fashion. Now I practice a different method. I lean into the fear. Dismantle it. 99,99% of the cases, none of that anxiety is rooted in reality. It's my system trying to warn me for shit that doesn't exist. Following your dreams / purpose / mission... it rarely feels soft. It drags you straight toward the stuff you're scared of. That's why most people never follow it at all. The moment you make a real move toward the thing you want, resistance shows up instantly. Mental blocks. Random chaos. Your body acting up. Ego stories about why you should slow down or pick a safer path. (or saying "you don't have tine haha). People even get sick the moment they finally commit. I have seen it too many times to ignore. Few people realise all this. A lot of it happens subconsciously. It is a collision. It is the moment your old self starts fighting for survival. If something scares you and still feels true, move toward it. The resistance is proof you are aimed in the right direction. I am building this community to help men with all this. To dream big, get after it, and find support and accountability along the way. You guys are early, I appreciate you all for being here. So tell me, are you going after your goals, or are you playing it safe? Are you preparing some magic for 2026? It's go time. Rich ⚔️ PS: If you know more guys that would thrive here, bring them over. I am gonna raise prices exponentially soon.

Hi all! Thanks Richard for getting this group going! I'd like to start this week with a small reminder which I got from Matthew Mcconaughey's book, Green Lights: Concentrate on the matter at hand, which is what you see in front of you at that moment. Maybe nothing new, but helps me all the time... ;) enjoy your week gents! Kris

Hi guys, anyone else with some experience and/or advice in how to cope with fierce pushbacks the minute I genuinely lock in. For me, quitting smoking and drinking was one of the big goals for a very long time, took me several years to finally get rid of the cigarettes. Still dealing with lots of gut issues so I start doing keto diet, no alcohol either. For me that looked like a good pathway to getting cleaner, getting closer to my true self. And i have been doing so for almost 5 weeks, and have had almost notting but setbacks. Alot of stuff is causing alot friction, with the biggest one of all recently, being my girlfriend wanting to split up, exactly when I'm finally getting to where I wanted to be for a long time. Meanwhile, I keep telling myself to hold your ground, its just "a test" but its getting to a point that its getting pretty ridiculous, and really makes me question my reality fiercely, like someone or something is trying to get to me. So anyone had similar events, and cares to share their experiences, and how they looked at the underlying dynamics? Would be very much aprreciated 🙏
