I think that is why so many people fail to ever reach their goals. Hollywood and so called self help gurus have us convinced that to reach success that it requires massive action or luck to make anything happen in our lives. When in reality success is more often than not achieved by simply doing a few key things constantly over time.
The goals are like flowers... What you have to do to get the flowers doesn't look like flowers at all: prep the soil, watering, getting rid of weeds, etc... Focus and enjoy the gardenig process and the flowers will come naturally. Great video. Keep the system going
This is exactly what I have been doing over the past 3 months or so. I have been running a system where I’m living better and I think consistency is key. Certain things I do everyday without fail: -Get up at 5am -Daily Journaling (I’m on Day 23) -Drink at least 2L of water -Reading at least 10 pages of a good book -Exercise -Leaving the house to be amongst nature and away from the hustle and bustle Once I started to do these little steps, I feel as if my productivity has gone up exponentially. Also No PMO is helping (day 10 today) Like you said, it’s about not setting goals. Equally, not everything will happen overnight. And don’t try to do everything at once. Thanks as always for this Cap. Great video. All is well, all shall be well and manner of thing shall be well.
I used to dayjournal. I’d write ‘’today I’m proud over’’ or *PO* for short. And i’d list things I got done during the day. I have really bad short term memory so I would day journal ../.../.../ *WO* worried over: X, Y, Z And I actually mended and resolved issues and problems I that I probably would’ve just forgotten or repressed. Even if it had to take 72 hours since I journaled what I worried over 3 days earlier.
I believe you are exactly correct. Routines become habits, systems in place create the process necessary to reach any goal. Sold a business once and it wasn’t because I had the best sales force or backend operation but rather because it was a system that worked well regardless of employees coming or going...
You explained this really well! 😄 Thanks for the great points about routines become habits and having systems in place when running a business. I'll remember this for next time!
Every day when I wake up, I do my morning routine, I call Morning Preparation. It includes: ¬ Go to the toilet and drink a glass of water ¬ Detailed writing of my dreams that night (if I had any) ¬ Gratitude (2min) ¬ Meditation for energy and vitality, to prepare for that day, in terms of E (15min) ¬ Affirmations (4min) ¬ Concentration Practices (15min) ¬ Meditation, it can be just breathing, sometimes with mantra or binaural beats (10min) ¬ Visualisation + Desires (4min) ¬ Preparing for all daily activities which I had written (2min) ¬ Streching (around 10min) ¬ Cold Shower I want to hear your morning routines! P. S. Great content, Nikhil!
When you follow that system you feel so fulfilled. It’s as though you have already acheived your goal, because you know the goal will be achieved as you live the way you do
Scripting 30 minutes a day and carrying the camera everywhere looking for B-Roll opportunities whenever and where ever. Wow, this is perhaps one of the most practical steps and advice for any creators to follow out there!
Dude you just expounded Karma Yoga!!! Focusing entirely on our actions instead of the results. The process is more important than the end result. Instead of setting the end result as goal, one should set his own process itself as his goal. Only then his possiblities are limitless!! Watching your videos had always made me understand the wisdom words of our Rishis in a different light. Thankyou Cap. 🙏🏾 Love from Kerala, India ❤️
Watching this in December 2020 and seeing how what you’re spelling out here directly affected your channel’s evolution is a huge inspiration, well done man
I also created a system when I was 15 and it lasted about 3 months before exams hit and I had to study more. -Wake up 6am within 2min -Make bed -Meditate 5-10min -Read 40min of my book -Reach my daily target on duolingo -Light morning workout -Write 3 goals/reasons for gratitude of the day (got rid of this a few weeks in) -Eat breakfast
You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. This is one of the most influential video of my life. I strongly believe in Karma Yoga but always find it difficult to implement because of lack of understanding about "HOW". After watching your video I got my answer of "How", its creating a system. Working on system is simple & keep our head clear. This really a cool concept. Wanna say one thing, I realise everyone has their light bulb moment. This is mine. Thanks a-lot Captain SINDABAD for showing me the path.
All i hear now is that you shouting in your indian dad voice that: "BABA, GREATNESS IS COMING, YOU JUST GET IN THERE AND DO IT!!!!" Seriously, nice vids, Cap! You're the type of dude I would love to have a cup of coffee with and just talk the afternoon away ☕🗣
This was a great video I also created a system when I was 15 and it lasted about 3 months before exams hit and I had to study more. -Wake up 6am within 2min -Make bed -Meditate 5-10min -Read 40min of my book -Reach my daily target on duolingo -Light morning workout -Write 3 goals/reasons for gratitude of the day (got rid of this a few weeks in) -Eat breakfast -Work on my art project (graphic design) -Leave to school I have a new schedule at 16 which is similar but is more adapted to my goals in life.
This resonated so much with me, I've never known why am always job hoping for me, I just never wanna get comfortable with the jobs i get so i always look for what's next that Ican do that's better,besides I am so entrepreneurship minded and always figured that I eventually dont want to work for anyone for long and I guess that's also why. Thanks a lot for this, finally someone who did what am doing.
This is what I needed to hear right now. I have been tracking metrics daily that I will no longer track. I will no longer track metrics that I cannot directly control. Watch minutes, and subscriber count will no longer be a metric I track daily. Out of my control. # of videos uploaded I will keep tracking and in my mind daily. I will replace the watch minute and subscriber count tracking with tracking script writing for the day!
Goals is a one time thing. It’s an instant dopamine hit when achieved. But what sustains that and builds long term is the system you have in place that got you to that goal in the first place.
Great value about about goal settings, I always keep saying it, tiny drips of water creates a big ocean. Small habbits creates big results. I love the visuals and quality of the video. Keep up the consistency brother. God bless you.
Great video as always, you have grown so much since the time a started watching your channel, I am really happy to see you so strong and wise as a person, thanks for your work Captain! Greatness is Coming!
This is what I do, too. If I stuck to metrics as the only success, I would have quit by now. instead I clearly see my progress, and that alone is a powerful reason to keep going!
Listening to you is always a pleasure. I'm proud to be one of your earliest subscribers, when you were at mere 3K bro. Your growth feels personal. Let's reach 1M bro. Let's make a system to watch Captain Sindabad's video. 😁
Exactly.... Instead of chasing or setting goals we must try to evolve, become better to such an extent that things even better than our goals start happening to us.. I saw a video in which Sadhguru said something sort of similar..
I think have a big goal say for the next 5 yrs. At the back of your mind and then follow this advice. I am gonna try that. Let's spice up life. Great video Nikhil.
I just wanted to thank you for your training programme and I think you should hit Netflix your acting skills are excellent. I don't set goals but I do have one big goal and I improve daily. I have been writing a lot after I was scripting, I knew it's helping me and I feel I am improving my writing. you have confirmed this for me and ill will write daily now, just how I'm writing this lol thanks again. 🙏
Great video. Your videos have come so far. I love your philosophy on goal setting vs systems. This resonates with me. Time to put the pen to paper and create some systems. Thanks for sharing.
Great video as usual. Ok sometimes it's difficult when u don't live to those goals u set. But u just gotta keep on putting the effort and just go with the flow, focus on the task at hand and hope for the best.
I’m preparing scripts for my RUclips channel (this one) at this time, you always inspire me and this video really resonated with what I want to do. I’ve been fretting over the small stuff and fearing to release content for the fear of failure or being mocked or misunderstood. But maybe I just need to launch as soon as I can instead of when I feel “ready”.
Great video, I've been having the goal of making $1,000 per day for the last 3 years and it hasn't happened. I think building systems works a lot better, and I'll give it a try. How did you learn to pubically speak?
I had a goal of making 1000$ per month(its a lot in my country) also for couple of years but it also didnt happened and now i made a plan and I already made 57$ in 4 days working maybe only hour and a half per day(In my country you get paid around 10-15$ per 8 hours work) and I find a regular job that I’m starting in august that will give me 500$ per month(average payment in my country) and I sent an application for online tutoring job so it can be my second side hustle, so lets see If I will make 1000$ by the end of August😁
Kinda disappointed you read out a whole paragraph out of the atomic habits book and didn’t even give the author a shoutout or credit. 0:14-0:47 is literally word for word the first paragraph in the “Why Small Habits Make A Big Difference” section in the first chapter of Atomic Habits by James Clear.
Bro I fuckin love you and your content (no homo). I felt so behind in life for a very long period of time. You inspire me to take actions! I finally decided to start making music as I always wanted!
(1.00)^365 = 1.00
(1.01)^365 = 37.78
The power of doing just a little bit more every day
The most powerful math for success...
Wow... incredible
Insane...
love this man!
Amazing
Its easy to overestimate one defining moment, but underestimate small daily moments, 21 seconds in and you already dropped a bomb 💣

You might wanna drink a glass of water and then go to the toilet
@@kunalbibekar422 Will 6 minutes make a difference? And why?
@@АлексаРадојичић-ю6ч drinking water before has many benefits just Google it.
With the stretching, I'd also add moderate cardio exercise
Drink a glass of water on the toilet😂

Greatness is coming...

I’ve known this about goals & systems for a while, but your explanation of this mentality and/or framework is refreshing. Well done! 🎉
This video is truly a godsend. *Thank you so much* Nik.
thank you FATIMA!!!!!
Just bought a planner and a 100 day goal book, video couldn’t come a better time :)
After experimenting a lot f different mindset to get myself on track I found the best- which is the 'FEAR OF REGRET'..
I also created a system when I was 15 and it lasted about 3 months before exams hit and I had to study more.
-Wake up 6am within 2min
-Make bed
-Meditate 5-10min
-Read 40min of my book
-Reach my daily target on duolingo
-Light morning workout
-Write 3 goals/reasons for gratitude of the day (got rid of this a few weeks in)
-Eat breakfast
Am finna be one of the biggest independent artist 🤞🏽💚💯

Woow woow woow. Soo needed it
Found this to be really helpful & I loved the example used of brushing your teeth. TY

Good video Captain, I will read the book thinking in systems to connect more ideas
Bro, I like your style. You are just unique. You are real

Great video as always, you have grown so much since the time a started watching your channel, I am really happy to see you so strong and wise as a person, thanks for your work Captain!
Greatness is Coming!
A goal is only a destination, the system is how you get there. They work hand in hand😳. I just learned that
How you doing bro? How's your journey going?
Deadpool it’s going strong
Great motivation and advice, thanks for sharing!

I remember you from the beginning bro! Thank you for being with me all this way.
I'm incremental and baby steps but I adopt the stoic philosophy of reflecting on the day and being productive.
Whenever I’m bored, I check out your channel knowing there’s good stuff to check out. You’re that good!
amazing! thanks for sharing
Love love love this guy
Since I started watching your channel my life improved a lot, thank you for your time and effort.
I'm on my journey to create a better self and I'm glad I found your channel. Wish you the best. Keep on the good work.
I'm really loving your channel lately.
appreciate that Justina!
I’ve been really striving for next year to create systems over goals. Will try the script writing one first! Great suggestion.
Watching this in 2021 and it has helped me a lot. Thanks Captain.
Great Video👍🏽🔥🔥🔥
Hey Captain!
You got me
You’re real!
I’m on board
I respect your honesty system is the way I know for sure!
Keep it up !

Great video Nikhil.
Tu Hira hai mere Big bro....
♥️🇮🇳
Yes, to goal videos. Love it. Hopefully the 'one-note' vision board video is in the works :D
Goals = target destination
Systems = means by which you get there.
Your advice is gold as always
You gained another sub, you’re tapped in🤝🏼
awesome content bro! love your work:)
Its easy to overestimate one defining moment, but underestimate small daily moments
Impressive, thank u
Bruh, the production of your videos has stepped up so substantially. Good work!
thanks man
Awesome video! It would be interesting to see how your systems worked for you during the last year. Great content!!!
Your videos is keeping me going, thanks bro.
Point noted Sir...

Captain sinbad I would like if you did a video about sleep cycles. By the way i love all your videos man
Respect you so much! you are a true warrior! thank you for all your help and inspiration! with gratitude and appreciation❤️❤️
I like that painting on the wall behind you.
Great video as usual. Ok sometimes it's difficult when u don't live to those goals u set. But u just gotta keep on putting the effort and just go with the flow, focus on the task at hand and hope for the best.

Watching this 3 years later is very interesting
I want this type of video
Great video, I've been having the goal of making $1,000 per day for the last 3 years and it hasn't happened.
I think building systems works a lot better, and I'll give it a try.
How did you learn to pubically speak?
1000/day! That's wild.
