 So I've been sitting down and writing my vision for the next five years. Well to be more honest I was Standing because I recently read a book called. I'm pretty sure it's called get up how your chair is killing you and Quite a profound book about why we're supposed to stand and not sit. So I spent most of my day Standing that's the then you have it. I'm incorporating. Anyway, I was writing my five-year vision and My two biggest values came up and I thought it would be a good chance to Discuss them and kind of share with you what they are. So the first main value that I Run my life around is ethics this is actually Relatively new value. It was always there, but I never really Put the quite the right emphasis on it until I got a lot of power through the second value which I'll explain shortly and When you have too much power and influence and not enough ethics Similar to what happened to Harvey Weinstein lately, you're gonna crash It's gonna end really really badly so ethics is the first value and what I mean by ethics is trying to Constantly move towards the ideal of Truth and right action Meaning saying the right thing acting in the proper way and Being in aligned with life in the proper way that means moving forward with grace like a sword and not creating tensions by making lies or micro lies and always Having precise vision So ethics is is like a sword a person with really really high ethics. He's like a person with a sword that sort can cut through anything because You try to bullshit someone with very high ethics. He's gonna see right through it You know ethics is when the the news reporter I was talking to you a Few days ago for an interview that's gonna be up on Israeli TV this weekend when he was trying to Change my my statement. So I said one thing and then he tried to manipulate my statement to try to appease the audience and Completely attack me instead of my point It was very easy for me to call him up on it and to say You just broke ethics. Basically, you just did something not ethical. It just took somebody's argument completely changed it to Achieve your goal, you know when people Lie or change small things reminds me of a friend of mine who works in a guard position and I came over to visit him and He got off the shift. So he was supposed to Basically stop getting paid, but because he stayed in his desk He didn't stop the clock quote-unquote and basically The Payment will keep coming because it's as if he's still working I had to tell him that this is unethical because you wouldn't want that to be done to you I mean you've signed up for what like 7 a.m. To 5 p.m. That's the time you're supposed to be there if you stay more than that That's not what you agreed on. So by getting more money by staying you're basically going against what you said you're going to do and Another thing that's really cool about ethics is that ethics also Allows you to create commitments So somebody who's not ethical, you know, there's a reason why in Hollywood, for example, the average divorce rate is like 90% When you act unethically Meaning you put on a charade. You don't you're not truly yourself. You don't really Value your word. You cannot create commitments. You're very shifty and First of all people would not like to don't want to create commitments with you, but even those who do The commitment is gonna end up backfiring on at least one of you So the the ability to Commit to things is also a part of ethics Which for example relates to my relationship where as I've said in previous videos It's the first time I decided to commit and basically stay no matter what and The growth I've experienced from that is profound because when you decide to stick in a situation no matter what That means that you took the consideration of should I stare should I go out of the picture and You gain new resources. They were not previously there because Now you face things that you would never face in the past So in situations where you'd say, you know, fuck this. I'm going I'm leaving and again doesn't have to be a relationship It could be a business goal You choose to stay and by choosing to stay and commit to staying no matter what You build character in the most profound and deep ways By facing things you would never experience without that commitment. Again, you're shifty if you don't have that commitment You just leave when it's gone. It's got to a certain point unless again, you decide you stay in a matter What so the second value? main value that I have and These are really my two pretty much my You know, I have more values. Obviously I care about things like health I care about things like I Don't know I didn't even have an example, but I care about other stuff too, but everything I can take is always a kind of Derived from those two values and they both create for example So the second value is growth and progress and that's why for example health again You cannot do growth and progress without Having good health a person without good health Can't develop because he can't he doesn't have the proper The discipline, you know willpower in the head the proper energy to make things happen You know, you could spiritually develop, but you can't like super expand So the the second value of the growth value It was also very strong in me from a very young age I had a huge Passion for growth for things that improve quickly for exponential Growth and that's why for example, I could not work in jobs that you know regular jobs because I would always want more money and Sometimes there's just wasn't more money to give this not like you know, I could do something more So I would start abusing the hours and start to see how much I can stretch the limit and always trying to kind of Entrepreneurialize my way in the job which actually gave me pretty hefty amount of promotions because I always try to do crazy things to grow my income and The right employee employer would notice that So that's how I got into really good positions like like manager level positions in high-tech companies at age like 1920 and The problem was that the growth thing I had a So much of it, but it was not balanced with ethics. So During, you know when I was 21 22 early, I think I would make seriously dangerous commitments to people You know usually regarding finances and like yeah, I'll be able to make that payment now you help me or yeah I'm definitely gonna help you get that resolved And I abused it not because I was hungry for money or anything It was just growth at all costs. It was just progress no matter what it's like a guy that You know got really really good growth through Working out, you know building his body and then you kind of start to plateau and you know You can't you want the growth you can't take the plateau So he just starts injecting steroids, you know all in the in the name of keeping things going Basically, you know the ends justify the means which is in direct conflict with the most basic of ethics because ethics, you know you can sign up in treat others the way you want to be treated demand others to treat you the way you want them to treat you and also Don't treat others the way you don't want to be treated and vice versa because it's not just how you Act towards people. It's also how you don't act Towards other people. So, you know those people that are like the most amazing kind Nice people and then something goes wrong and they turn into these crazy Angry apes that nobody wants to be around and you're like what happened, you know You're such an awesome person like you've got half of it down like you do all the right things just just you know Inhibit your emotions, dude. Usually usually it's with women In my experience, but you know guys also tend to go crazy in Guys are more of a jerk. So so, you know with guys It's mostly the things that they do when you know what they do That are fucked up and then they usually are more reserved. They don't just You know go crazy when things go bad, but with women. It's the opposite It's like when things are okay women are like the sweetest ever, but then when things start to go wrong, you know So some women go crazy Again just a generalization though. There are exceptions to each So yeah, these are the two Main values and I discovered them by simply looking back at my life and seeing what was the most common Kind of narrative what was the most common motivation to everything and you know, you can think of motivation in various levels You can think very very high level motivation Which could be I have to get this project down on time for example You have a deadline I have to reach that deadline, but then you say, okay, why is that motivation there? then you say Now if you just look at that you say, okay, this person really cares about reaching deadlines But then let's say you go one level below to more root to deep level motivation Which is actually simpler and more complicated at the same time paradoxically and What you would find is That person that's like hey, I have to reach this deadline Maybe what's really going on is because I don't want to disappoint people and if I disappoint people Like that's the worst thing ever. So you find out that they're not actually conscientious. They're not actually Ethical and what's motivating them is not ethics or commitment. It's actually just fear of disapproval and rejection so You need to really really look deep into those Motivations your strongest motivations the one that sort of override everything. So when I say override I mean like you said you're gonna do one thing But then the desire was so strong that you did the other thing anyway Like I would say, okay. I'm really gonna just be okay at this job I'm really just gonna, you know, try my best to just you know settle for less and then like Like a week or two later. I'm like shit. I want more. This is not enough and nothing nothing helps or Like I'm like, okay I'll just do what they tell me to do and then suddenly I'm going ahead and entrepreneurializing everything or if we're talking about ethics It's like I would say something that's like a lie or I would Do something wrong and I would feel the the deep need that cannot be resolved to basically Acknowledge that I did that to basically tell the other person or at least acknowledge it myself that actually did something wrong And I'll tell I do that and actually provide a solution not to do it again I will not feel good about myself and The same with other people like if somebody did something wrong to me like acted in an unethical way even without noticing Like like late like if someone was like three minutes late or five minutes late And they didn't let me know they're gonna be five minutes late It's like I'm gonna have to tell them like I'm not gonna be able to just sit down and like You know just feel I'm gonna have to be like look you When you are late, and you know, you're gonna be late You have to tell people that you're gonna be late like I would I would not let that go Like I would not force it on them, but I would have to say it So, yeah, that's called being highly conscientious. I'm basically if you study the the big five personality traits, which are conscientiousness agreeableness openness neuroticism and Extraversion so if you study these big five traits, you'll see that ethics are very much correlated with Congenitiveness and it's actually conscientiousness and IQ are the two biggest correlations to income so if you If you Google IQ income you'll actually see that I income grows by about ten times for every ten points of IQ Which is very interesting, but unfortunately not part of this Episode So yeah, those are the two big values and this is why coaching is my biggest passion because coaching is me instilling basically Through ethics through thinking, you know the right thinking and actually looking at things properly Allowing people to experience massive growth while also Clarifying the map for me Because coaching is a two-way street when you coach someone you Super enhance the information that you have you basically clarify it and make sense of it if you have that kind of personality so For me coaching is like breathing. It's like the most important thing and When I coach I come alive because again, I get the chance to instill my two biggest benefits on other people while also reinforcing them in me I've noticed that with people who love my stuff, you know my videos usually these two At least one of these two is present Like almost everybody who likes my stuff are at least either super big proponents of growth or either that or of just ethics and And what I would urge you to do if you still don't know your values is to actually sit down or stand as we talked earlier and Try to map out Which values in your life have starred and You will find them consistently so it's not like you something you develop, you know Of course you develop them, but they're always there. So you develop in relation to them already being there You know, you acknowledge them you embrace them or they kill you so So try to look in the past and look see what was your biggest motivation like where What's the things that are always good? like I'm always about growth like anything that is Related to growth like me becoming smarter more fit healthier earn more anything that relates to growing is Immensely satisfying to me like I always want growth and anything related to ethics to Acting more properly to being more in line with truth and reality to being more conscientiousness to being more a master of my soul and And and and move through life Both gently and sharply at the same time Anything that relates to that also Stard throughout my entire life like every decision I made it was like is this ethical or is this not ethical? And whenever it was towards ethics, I felt amazing whenever towards I got towards lack of ethics I would just suffer increasingly. So by the way the more I went straight from it Again same with the growth like the more I stress went towards growth the quicker I grew the more incredible I felt even though I like Did super risky shit and put myself in extremely scary situations just seeing myself grow Like grow my income like five times in in a few months Shit, I was so exhilarated like like nothing was better. Nothing. Like there was no better feeling and And also in periods where growth is Stagnating and I'm kind of just getting in the rut, you know, just feeling comfortable Immediately start feeling like something's wrong. So that value was always always always there Hope this video helps share it if you could subscribe if you haven't and check out my description for my free e-book on business Also a chance to buy my auto biography Really interesting book like I got a lot of good reviews on it.
