0:46 in the process too my name is Adan and I've lived in multiple countries across the world talking to Americas Europe Middle East Oceania and each time I've traveled to a new place and set up a life in there I've had new Les lessons I've learned new things about the Fitness World I've learned new things about discipline and myself and how to conduct a healthy and Optimum lifestyle today I help people just like you overcome self-doubt transform their bodies and chase their life that they want to chase if you've ever felt invisible at Social Gatherings maybe you've actually even skipped social Gatherings Al together maybe you've skipped taking photos or thought you'd never break free from your 95 grind I'm here to tell you that I've been there I know what it's like and I know how to get out so let's dive in and I'm going to start with my story in how I realized
1:31 what I need to be doing my story starts in Turkey I was born to a very humble family we lived in a rural area we immigrated to New Zealand lived in New Zealand for a couple years and then when I was 10 years old moved to Australia now my childhood by no means was I consider normal in my earliest memories I have you know Waking Up Before Dawn at like age 8 9 years old my dad making me go run in the stadium I had trainings before school by 11 years old I was a Taekwondo champion at 12 years old I was was a the youngest black Bel in hapkido in Australia my youth was always filled with being busy being active and being disciplined now as a teenager I definitely lost my way in Australia for a little bit I had a very promising future in intellectual world I got invited to accelerated learning programs
2:19 early entry into University I studied astrophysics under a Nobel Prize winner so my youth definitely was not normal I would say through all of that I ended up becoming a Constructor worker I end up destroying the future I have you know at 13 I had played in West Ham United at 14 I was invited to F Bacher Youth Academy and then at 171 18 I'm a construction worker skinny fat blowing my money on the weekends you know chasing instant gratification nothing that's actually going to promise me a better future but when did I realize that I could have a better future the particular event where I realized that this isn't for me um was one shift at work now this shift really crushed my soul and really
3:07 affected me for the few days after that basically we rocked up to the construction site at 500 a.m. it was a government job I had no idea on that day but the person above me my boss was under a lot of pressure to finish the project and so I was at that time I was cutting concrete it was the winter in Australia so we're talking freezing temperatures rain cold and I'm there cutting concrete with water so you know my hands are soaked everything's freezing and I'm there 5:00 a.m. 6 a.m. I'm cutting concrete cutting concrete to build pavement we're supposed to finish at 3: and we don't finish at 3: I was like what's what's going on you know it's it's time to knock off and then it boss comes to me and says yeah we're not leaving until we finish the project we
3:54 were there on that site until 11:00 a.m. the next day which as far as I know is extremely illegal so come to think of it that's a 30-hour shift and what even crushed me more was that the bloke next to me who was 40 years old was on the exact same wage as me right so there I am 18 years old working for 30 hours in a grueling environment and there's a 40-year-old making the same amount of money that's when I realized that this life isn't for me I booked a oneway ticket to Turkey and went back on the path of football chasing professional football few things didn't align I ended up having a motorbike accident and I decide that I need a backup plan I need education that's how I end up in America right so the last 5 years of my life I've been living in America building my
4:40 Base building my dreams in America I went and viral on the internet a year and a half ago for barbering and I've managed to transform the barbering image I have into lifestyle these 5 years in America exactly what transformed the lifestyle that I had you know starting as a skinny fat construction worker coming over to America as mentioned maybe you're the type of person that you know skips social Gatherings taking photos maybe you feel like you've got a bit of social anxiety or you're not completely confident I was that guy when I first went to America you know 18 19 20 years old the first couple years I spent in the midwest in Kansas I rented out a very cheap house I was cutting hair until 2:00 a.m. I was hustling working hard trying to build up my money trying to build cash
5:29 [Music] I dedicated myself to self-improvement you know I was that guy that would wake up at like 4:30 in the morning ice Barts every morning meditation journaling over those years I've developed a proven system this system that I Implement into my life right I've also implemented into my my communities and my culture Kaden one of my members actually quit his job quit his 95 grind started his own business and now is an entrepreneur niceta over the winner AR Iran a challenge improved her physique she also increased her monthly recurring Revenue these skills that you get don't just apply to Fitness they don't just apply the mindset they apply to everything else in your life that you can use discipline business socials
6:14 relationships and talking about relationships one of the best parts of the journey have actually been meeting people like you face to face right now I'm in Sydney Australia just yesterday I did a meeting greet at Bondi Beach where I got to meet so many people that follow this channel one let's go one 1 2 come on boy just did a push-up competition it's moments like these that remind me what I do what I do hearing your amazing Stories it's not just about assets and Reps guys there's so much more to it than that and actually during that meet and greet yesterday someone came up to me asking me questions about diet how to have the optimum diet so what I did is I came home and I just created just now a free meal plan my top five meals that I've used over the years you know that helped me be more consistent in the gym help me get
7:00 stronger recover better so if you want simple meals guys check the description below I've got a free five meal plan for you click that link grab it right now those five meals that I have in that guide are exactly the meals that I used to completely transform my fitness journey right like I said I did so many mistakes I was that guy did did all the fad diets all the training programs the Bro split what I'm about to give to you in the next 45 seconds to a minute is what I learned in my first 3 years in in Kansas because the person I was when I landed in Los Angeles compared to the person I was when I landed in Kansas two completely different beasts when I landed in Los Angeles I had team members questioning if I was on trt you know
7:46 just because the physique was that impressive the physique is not impressive I'm telling you it's not impressive it's very very easy to get a very good physique just takes a little bit of time but the most important thing obviously is your diet right that's why I've got the free meal plan down below click that get that now but number two is consistency obviously number three Progressive overload okay Progressive overload what does that mean that doesn't necessarily mean that every week you need to be adding 5 10 10 kilos in your bench press no Progressive overload can look like this it can look like extra sets extra reps better form right less recovery time for example when I do the John Terry cardio run if you don't know what that is I've linked that down below the John Terry workout some times I would you know maybe try increase the incline a little
8:32 bit or I'll try increase the speed on the last two reps the last three reps the last four reps I would do an extra rep instead of doing 13 14 15 I hit 16 17 right that's Progressive overload that's really what took me but here's the next biggest tip that I implemented into my training program that transformed my physique right time under tension time on attention is King right if you can go slow on the Ecentric part of the movement really control and even hold it pause it for a little bit you'll experience so much more growth you experience so much more intensity in your training sessions okay I also used to do all the Bro splits you know the Monday chest day Tuesday back day Wednesday shoulders Thursday blah blah blah Friday this day Saturday that day [ __ ] that that's not a good gym routine
9:20 here's a good gym routine there's only two routines that you really need to be doing you can do push pull legs or you could do upper body lower body upper body lower body why does that work work because you decrease the volume during the individual workout which right lets you recover better let you hit the muscle group sooner and you increase the volume throughout the week you hit the muscle group more times during the week that's more stimulation more stimulation means more growth these lessons that I learned didn't come easy for me even though you can find this knowledge on the internet like yes you can find everything you want internet but it's different when you hear it from a person that's relatable you know I used to be just like you so that's why my advice is going to hit a little bit harder but I remember in my college dorm preparing
10:05 raw chicken in my dorm room sing I remember having a garbage bag you know you know these trash cans you know you have the black garbage bags that go in here I remember I take that garbage back to the school cafeteria at the end of the dinner and I fill it up with chicken legs I used to be on the chicken and rice diet and this diet no you don't need that guys just do pushable legs eat clean and healthy throughout your week and be consistent Progressive overload time on attention right what I gave you in that 15 seconds took me 3 years to learn fully in Kansas these lessons I have in my life right multiple failures but that's why I'm giving this to you right now you don't need to make the same mistakes as me I I I went through so many pain points in my life but actually to be honest with you those
10:52 pain points are some of my favorite moments one of my favorite moments from Kansas was walking to the gym at 6:00 a.m. at -32 33° C snow up to my hips one of my favorite moments of California is catching the Red Line Metro the underground Red Line Metro with all the drug addicts and you know homeless people and criminals catching it to cruncho Boulevard 2 hours there 2 hours back coming home sleeping for 3 hours and going to school the next day those are some of my favorite moments of my life but do you know why it is my favorite moment because I knew I was on the right path I knew knew in those times when I was struggling I was struggling for a reason one of my favorite quotes is you give a man a goal like a vision but you also give him a
11:38 way to get there he will crawl over broken glass naked with a smile on his face what does that mean that means if you know what you want to get to and you know how to get there you'll take any necessary sacrifice that's why those pain points are my favorite but the pain points I had when I was a skinny fat construction worker doing a 30 hour shift I hated my life back then those were the worst moments of my life because there was no vision there was no clear goal there was no route to get there so if there's anything you get from this video it's at least have a vision in your life and a route to get there that's what my system is mainly about my system is about crafting a path so if you want to learn more about the system description Down Below guys I was going to University studying biochemistry I was playing football I
12:24 was still training and eating well so if I could do it if I could hustle that hard you can as well if that's really what you want to do and actually in this dor room as well from this video you can see I used to cut hair in there that's how much I used to hustle it cutting hair the barber shop was not enough money for me I would come home and I would still want more right cuz I knew that there was students at the school that couldn't come to LA to to the downtown City to get a haircut from me so used to cut hair in the dorm room and Chase that's how much I chased money and actually the advice I'm going to give to you because I ended up getting a financial Mentor I I'm going to give you the biggest pieces of advice he gave me over 6 months you're going to get from me in about 15 seconds find a scalable income Source barbering not
13:11 scalable barbering not scalable right for me to make money I have to be there if I could go back in time I would tell myself you know try to learn something else of course barbering worked for me because I end up going viral and in a couple minutes I'm going to tell you exactly how I ended up doing that but I had had a financial mentor and basically the main thing I learned was make money online scalable income Source okay something where you can hire and delegate responsibility and focus on one main aspect of the job because during this time I was broke I I was in the same financial situation that I was in Kansas the money maybe got a little bit better but living expenses also got higher so I remember I end up going to Cancun you know my first holiday when I
13:58 got to I end up going Bahamas I end up going Dominican Republic and I end up seeing people like I said the same age as me the lifestyles they're living and I'm thinking why can't I do that and that's when I it clicked for me I realized okay I need to do something online so that's why I end up chasing content creation so actually during the summer I left Los Angeles I go over to Texas to play semi-professional football and I'm grinding semi-professional football trying to make it as a footballer and still in the barber shop but now chasing content and I had been while I was in Kansas I had you know dabbled in content creation tried to make a few Tik toks Instagram reals nothing ever worked but I studied the game I actually ended up doing a cinematography course I ended up taking a course for editing I ended up taking a
14:44 course for filming just to understand how to think and operate like a videographer how to think and operate like a cinematographer and the lessons I'm about to give you again in this next 45 seconds is basically what I learned from these you know you know couple courses I end up doing all right you want to make your videos look super aesthetic here's what you do you have horizontal lighting you shoot from the shadow side so if I have light coming from here I shoot from horizontal okay right now this isn't Optimum if it was Optimum I would shoot like this like that but not doing that right now cuz this is just a raw communication between me and you but that's that's basically it you want to make it aesthetic have a horizontal light shoot from the shadow side shoot at 24 frames per
15:30 second and and that's really the basics that you need to cover okay I end up going viral on internet because I understand one aspect of content creation that separates you from other people you will never build an online brand of any significance if you are just a regen of someone else right like you can go on the internet and if you are just a consumer you'll forever stay a consumer you need to think creative so I would look at other Barbers and I would think what are what what are they doing and I and I literally wrote it down on a piece of paper like this what are they doing okay they're videoing their haircut their hair looks amazing they're doing designs they they upgraded their skills and and they went viral for
16:15 that but that's something that I thought like okay if I do the same thing am I realistically going to go viral for that no no I won't go viral for that so what I decided to do was instead of focusing on the haircut I focused on myself that might seem narcissistic to to say that might seem quite Vain and actually I remember a few people there was a girl I was dating at the time and I don't know if I should even be saying this but her mother used to tell me that I was the most vain person that she had ever met can you believe that imagine dating a girl and her mom tells you that you are the most vain person yeah maybe I am a vain person that's why I call this the haircut The
17:01 Narcissist haircut but here's the thing the moment I focused on myself in the content creation right and you can do this for any industry let's say you're a brick layer let's say you're a painter let's say you're a barber you're an artist you're anything you do photographer videography you want to build an online personality you want to build an online brand of significance don't just focus on your work because how many people on the internet are going to have better work than you right I'll never be as good as Sam Rascals I'll never be as good as some of these other Barbers right so what did I decide to do instead of trying so hard to make my haircut better I just showcased my personality I focused the camera on me I showed my interactions with the client I showed me laughing
17:47 smiling I showed me you know hanging out in the Bible shop sweeping up hair you know vibing to the music counting my money I showed them a barber I didn't show them a haircut right and that's why when people see me on the on on the streets here just like a few months ago I went to Germany craziest experience ever for me I go to Germany I'm chilling in the bar there's people on the street like that know me like they scream abuu like I drive my car around people like that's the barber right it's not the guy that just does a nice haircut or he's very good at haircut that's the barber so if you are a photographer if you are a videographer or whatever you do you could be a [ __ ] brick layer like I said you want to make content if you're a brick layer show the
18:33 experience of a brick layer don't show the wall the wall how interesting is a wall you video that haircut and people watching the haircut but you really want them to watch you because you you are the center of attention now now you can market for other people you want to make money online you need to have a online personality you need to have an online brand where people can use you for Market marting where you can provide a service for someone else online if you just concentrate on the actual work that you're doing there's a limit there's no scalability right people ask me how was I able to transition from Barber to Lifestyle and fitness how was I able to do that barbering is part of Lifestyle isn't it you know it's about looking
19:19 good okay let's think looking good this is this is the process I did think what's looking good yeah that's your hair what comes after that your skin what comes after that the way you smell what comes after that the way you dress I'll I'm probably the first Barber to have a fashion NOA deal I'm probably one of the first Barbers to have you know cologne deals yso azaro amage these designer and Niche fragrance houses they send me free colog just to use them and put them in a video that goes to show that if you focus on you it's not being vain it's not being vain right you're showing you that's how you pop off on social media trust me because you'll never be a regen if you're you no one can copy you
20:05 right no one can copy you like you can copy you you've got the source they can have the recipe but they'll never make the source after learning these lessons over 2 years right I just gave you these lessons over a couple minutes that's all you really need to know to pop off on social media I end up popping off on social media in Texas I go back to LA completely different person Junior years of Dan compared to senior years are completely two different people I'm no longer in the barber shop no longer in the barber shop yet my income is more my connections are way more I end up cutting Marco Royce I was going to michco Roy's house like a couple times a week right I'm sure there are so many other better Barbers than me in LA but that's the that's the difference when you have an online
20:50 personality that people recognize you that gives you credibility and from there opportunities are endless that's how I really transformed my life life as you can see the lessons I learned in in taking myself from a skinny fat construction worker to who I am today you know it starts with Fitness if you can get your body right you can get your mind right you can get your diet right you can you can work on your discipline you can apply that to to every aspect of your life apply that to your business apply that to content creation like I told you it's about the way you affirm your identity and it's about the way you visualize your future here's an is another great tip for you that if you want to really actually change your change who you are sacrifice who you are now for who you want to
21:35 be here's an exercise get book like this write down your ideal self what is your ideal self like how does he speak how does he talk how does he act what does he do what does he do in the morning what does he do in the evening what choices does he make and just act like that person it it's really that simple right let's say that person just stepped into your body right now and how does he act you need to act like that how does he balance work how does he conduct Fitness what kind of diet does he eat if you can act like that person sooner or later you become that person these lessons that I'm giving you in in this video is just really just a glimpse like I said I've developed a proven system a stepbystep blueprint that I give on my
22:23 coaching which you can find all the details Down Below guys if you're really interested in actually taking yourself selfimprovement to a whole new level completely evolve your character change your personality and transform your lifestyle you can find all the details in the description below guys just think about it what sets you apart really what sets you apart if you are serious in in in going forward with a different timeline you need to create yourself a character one of the biggest lessons I've got in my in my community in my course content um my favorite classroom actually is a character creation classroom when I talk about creating your character if you can gamify your life like you can see each stage of your life as a level and you can see the
23:09 character right and each time you go to a new stage of your life you go to a new level you have new skills new perks new abilities right for me I gamified my life 100% 100% gamified my life the character I was in Kansas compared to junior year me compared to senior year me you know I've got the Survivor I've got the Hustler now I've got the entrepreneur literally assign a title to your character act how you want that character to act Place yourself in an ideal storyline right you have to be in the right environment guys there's there's no point being a pirate in the Middle East like what are you doing in the desert if you want to be a pirate if you want to be a pirate go to the Caribbean sail the Atlantic Ocean you know I wanted to be a content creator
23:55 that's why I went to Los Angeles you say you want to do these things but most people don't ever do that I've got so many of my friends that tell me they want to do this they want to do that but saying is not doing planning is not doing telling other people you're going to do is not doing the only thing doing is actually taking the actionable steps that's one of my favorite classrooms in my online community so if you're interested in all the other lessons I've got you can find that in the description below like I said my transformation Journey took probably about 5 years where you know I started 3 hours south of this city you know this is Sydney I started CA you know as a like I said a skinny fat broke construction worker you know I used to I've got videos of me on my Snapchat of me drinking at 9:00 a.m. I've got videos of me smoking I've got videos of me
24:41 partying in my Snapchat and then you know I just scoll a couple years up completely different lifestyle you know now I'm in Dubai now I'm in Los Angeles traveling Europe whenever I want I would never have thought I'd be able to come to Sydney like this and do a meet and greet meet other like-minded individuals I never thought I'd have a community of hundreds of people that also want to improve their life get your Fitness right if you don't have your ideal dream physique you won't work at your Optimum level you'll always wake up in the morning and look at yourself in the mirror and think there's more you can do there will always be that element of disappointment in the back of your head there's no room for that in self-improvement there's no room for
25:27 that if you want to improve your life life right if you don't have the discipline to get a six-pack if you don't have the discipline to eat consistent and healthy if you don't have the discipline to hit the gym hard and and train with Progressive overload you'll never have the discipline to upgrade your business you'll never have the discipline to chase the goals you want to chase that's why I say the major lesson is always going to be Fitness diet the discipline you learn in that the systems you get from that you know those systems took me years to find out it doesn't have to take you years why I decided to do a video like this is I wanted to give the complete background on how I actually changed my life not just particular lessons not just a Five Lessons before 25 video no this is how I ended up getting those lessons so in any
26:13 video in the future you watch from me you can see it from my perspective and understand it in a better light guys listen if I could come from a skinny fat construction worker to building an online six-figure coaching business having Financial Freedom and traveling the world meeting amazing people imagine what you can do thank you all for watching and I'll see you in the next one catch you later
