Okay, great. Now let's go for the first part of this course. But before going deeper in how you can create a sticky habit, we will see the mistakes, the mistakes almost everybody makes when you want to create a new habit. And if you don't fix these mistakes first, what ever will be the process or the system you put in place you will fail. So first of all, we will talk about these mistakes. And you will see that it's not that complicated.

In fact, the the first maybe biggest mistake everybody does is focusing on the results focusing on the result and not on the process. What do I mean with that? For example, if you want to lose weight, most of the people will focus on how many pounds I will lose, but not enough on how will I do to lose these pounds? It's the same thing if you want to start running, most of the people will focus on how many times I will be able to run maybe. I mean in terms of along you know, for example, I am I able to run for one hour for one hour and a half. And you can focus on what should I put in place to be able to run twice a week for example, or, or more, for example, more, maybe more, but what you need to understand first is that the result we don't care you don't care The result your focus must be put on the process on the abit creation, not on the result you want to reach.

And we will see just after that with the compound effect, why it is important to focus on this result because the compound effect will create the results that you need to create and focus on the process. First, this is the most important part and we will work with the free steps just after on how to create this process. Now, in second, most of the people don't ask themselves why, why do you want this new habit? Why do you want to create it? It's very important that you know why you do this because if you don't something times you will need motivation we will speak about motivation just after that. Sometimes you will need motivation.

And if you don't know why you want to create this new habit, you will probably fail. For example, if you want to practice meditation why why do you want to practice meditation is just to be cool because some friend of us meditate too. Now it's not that the reason why for example for me I meditate, man, my Why is I want to meditate because I think meditation is like taking care of my brands. I want to be crown I like the quiet so meditation is a way to reach that same thing for sports. Why do you want to do sports because because your friend do sports and it seems schools know, if I do sports if I if I run if I do yoga, it's to be in a better shape to develop my motivation to be in good health. So sport is important for me because it gives me results it's it gives me some things I want some things I need.

So your why is important and we will walk on it in a few minutes of course. But your why need to be strong you need to have a strong desire to reach a new behavior to create a new habit and your why is an important part of the habit creation. It's not a part of the process. It it happens before the process, because whatever the process will be if your why is not strong enough, the process will fail to this is the second mistake. Most of the people do. And the third one is, but most of the people don't put in place a system, they only use their motivation.

And this is, I think one of the major mistake of why people abandon they quit. Because once their motivation is gone, they don't have enough willpower to keep the habit. And this is why a system is important because once once your motivation is gone, the system is here to help you maintain your habits. It's like what example Should I give you? It's like a car you know you you need a lot of, of power to start it with your key and once it is started, so Okay, you have fuel to two To start and, and, and, and stay on the road, but you need at the beginning the starter the key, the key when you start your car, it's the key, it's the motivation you will need need to start and then this is the fuel. This is you driving, this is the system who is on the road, but your motivation you don't need it anymore.

So we will see how to put in place a system and use the minimum amount of motivation. Okay, this is for the free mistakes, maybe you can recognize yourself in one of those or maybe on the free. I use. I think I wasn't free mistakes. At the beginning when I start running I was only focused on um, what what was the The longest distance I could run and every year as I wanted to run but I failed. Same thing the why was not strong enough.

I didn't know why. Why I was running because I didn't ask myself and I didn't had system. So I start running because I was motivated. It was the beginning of the year I say myself, okay, it would be good if you go for some runs every weeks. But after 234, maybe five weeks, I quit. So motivation is good, but you need motivation at the beginning.

It's the starter. It's what makes you it helps you make the first move, motivation, you need motivation, but motivation is not strong enough to create a sticky habit. It's only interesting at the beginning. Just like When you when you start a fire, you know, you need a lighter, it's your motivation it starts the fire, but then you need to put some woods on the fire in the fire to make it burn longer. And the the woods is the system and the lighter is the motivation. Okay, now, let's talk about the compound effect.

You know, it's when it's exactly the goal of habit to benefit of the compound effect, because you will generate results over time. For example, if I asked you to walk for 100 miles, it could be huge to you very good and it is. And you will probably taller told me I can't it's it's it's too huge 100 nights it's no I can't. What if I asked you to work one miles every day during 100 days? Okay, in this case you will succeed. We don't care of how many time you need to reach your goal.

But the strategy you will put in place is important and splitting your goal in little little path and using her habit to reach him is really, really an amazing way to create big things. I will give you an example I love because I'm, I read a lot I read books, I read comics I read a lot. And once I read about Stephen King, the bestseller hotel, and I read that Stephen King told In an interview that he, every day, he wrote 2000 words every day since he started to write. Do you? Do you realize what this means? I don't know exactly since when Stephen King is a writer, but I think it's more 140 years.

And every day he wrote 2000 words, sometimes he needs two hours. Sometimes it needs half a day. But he do that every day. This is Stephen King habit. And as a result, this guy wrote hundreds of books. I'm not sure of the of the exact number, but I think it's more than 200 maybe between two and free Android books.

Oh, not in a year. Made a mistake in life. Of course, do you? Do you? Do you? Do you see what this means?

If you create a very powerful habit, you can create amazing results of a time. It's for me, it's crazy because you can duplicate this behavior in most of the area of your life. It can be in sports, it can be in business, it can be in everything. And if you create several habits, you will multiply the compound effect. So it's important. It's very linked to the fact that you're not at the beginning.

You're not walking on the results you only walking on the process, creating your habits, do results will come with time. It's the same thing if you want to learn guitar piano if you take a bit of playing I don't know 30 minutes every day, in several years, you will be a very, very good detail piano player. So now I have an exercise for you, it's very, very simple you will see it's just to choose your habits. Just take time to think about what is the habit you want to create, what is the sticky habit you want to create? Now, maybe you have several choice maybe we you have lots of hydeia habits. So, write them then all you you can write all of them because then what is powerful with what we will see in the in the in the following steps is you will be able to duplicate the process for every a bit you want to create.

So write all the habits you have in your head. In your mind and choose one maybe the first one you want to put in place and you and I will walk on the habit creation on this one. Okay. So now you can, you can stop or pause the lesson and take some time take a few minutes to think about that and set the habit you want to create. Okay once Once you have selected your habit, we will walk a little on your why, you know when I was talking about the mistakes, the the Y the Y is one of the mistakes if your y is not strong enough, you will fail. So, now you will take time to think about your y to gain clarity on your goal and motivation.

It's really Really important, because if you want to lose weight or start sports, you know that results want come in a day or in a week or even in a month. So it's important that you're white, your wife is strong enough. So, just now, you will take some time as another exercise to ask yourself what why do you want to create this new habit? And if you Why is not strong enough or if you can find your why I think that you must choose a new one another bit because this one is not is not the best. And especially during this training, because this is the first time you you will create the process to create your sticky habit. So you must choose the first one wisely to be sure the process of walks were so like in the compound effect, I'll let you take some time to think about your why and and gain clarity clarity about why you want to create this new habit.

So I need you there. What is right now don't wait because we will use your why and your new habits on the process credit ation just after I let you work and I see you just after that go go go
