Big dreamer but only in his mind.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
Making more friends is a goal.
In 5 years, YOU will still be the one making decisions. And if you keep your current habits, "YOU 2.0" will have big problems.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.

Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
Do not set goals—set systems.

Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
Opens a business and makes WiFi money.
PICK 1 important thing you want to quit or bring into your life in 2025. Think hard about a system that will make it impossible or inevitable.
Porn blockers might help, but they won’t be as effective. And you know nudity isn’t just on Pornhub—it’s everywhere. Don’t joke with fire.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.

“YOU 2.0” is like your future kid. It’s your duty to make decisions for him. It is wiser to marry a nice mom for your kid, not just a beautiful wife for yourself.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.

Keep in mind that, there is always a system for any problem. You just need to be willing to think hard enough and BE WILLING TO MAKE SACRIFICES.
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
What was Easter day like for you as a child?
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Cutting off WiFi at home for a month or giving your phone to a distant friend for a month (in exchange for a Nokia or simply nothing) is a system.

Why do some guys treat girls so badly?
Procrastinates a lot.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
That's it for today.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
Ask yourself:
What I need from you?
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Does not procrastinate.
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
