The room was different from the others immediately. It was isolated and heavily locked with chains around the door. One of the corps members beside me asked why whoever was inside wasn’t outside with the others.
The officer paused for a second before replying.
“He is dangerous.”
The way he said it immediately changed everybody’s mood.
Another corps member asked what the person did.
The officer said the man had been wanted in the whole Nigeria for a very long time and that many people outside didn’t even know he was being kept there because of how dangerous he was.
At that point nobody was talking anymore.
The officer slowly unlocked the chains.
When the door opened, everywhere inside was dark. There was only one tiny window that barely allowed any light to enter. The room smelled damp and hot. You could hardly see anything.
Then the officer brought out his torchlight and pointed it inside.
And that was when we saw him.
The man slowly stood up from the corner.
It was Micheal Scofield.
He begged us to give him some snacks we brought that they always feed him garri. He said his tattoo is not working in Nigeria
Recently, I’ve been dressing nice and going to boujee cafes and lounges to work (instead of wearing a hoodie and sweatpants at my desk).
I'm using vintage leather journals and gold pens.
Wearing Ra Optics daylight glasses.
Working out first thing in the morning and getting clean-shaven.
Why?
Everything is downstream of your identity.
When I imagine my identity 5 years from now and visualize what I'll be wearing and where I'll be working, I see myself in nice clothes, in nice places, writing and doing high-level deals.
To bring this future vision into the now, I'm simply acting as if I were already living in that future.
The way I write...
The way I send messages...
The way I talk about my offers...
It all elevates as a result of my chosen environment and my aesthetic.
You can program yourself to unlock your next level in the same way.
Put yourself into environments where wealth and money circulate.
Dress like the person you wish to be.
Walk around and talk to people as if you were already the person you wish to be.
If you were operating 1 or 2 levels higher - or the version of you 3-5 years from now:
- How would you dress?
- Where would you work?
- What would your schedule be?
- What would you be working on?
- How would you speak to prospects?
Take these answers and embody them today.
I guarantee you'll begin to see a shift.
