This video might be the most important thing we can talk about.
We're talking about your dark side. Now, I don't mean dark as in
evil—we're not talking about blood rituals hooded in a forest
where we're chanting. I mean the dark side that we all have
within us. It's the reason you self-sabotage your goals, it's the
reason you push good people away in relationships, and it's the
reason that's holding you back from making the amount of money
you want. The good news is that once you know this chart that
we're talking about in this video, change can happen really fast
for you.


We're keeping it really simple and real, so without further ado,
I'll explain this chart. We'll apply it to you in several areas
such as money, relationships, happiness, and then I'll give you
the solution of how to fix this. I do want to give credit to Sam
Ovens, where I picked up this chart from for the first time, and
it changed my life. Here we have a basic oscillation chart, and
you'll notice right here there's negative 1, 2, and 3, and then
there's positive 1, 2, and 3. This represents your life, gaining
+3, minus +3, gaining +2, minus +2, +1, minus one. Well, what
does that net out to? It nets out to zero, as if you didn't have
any of the positives because they're wiped out by some of the
negatives. This is the cycle that controls your life, and this
part right here is what is known as your dark side, or you can
use the word your shadow side—the parts of you that are holding
you back or self-sabotaging. And until you recognize this cycle,
it's going to run your life.


To kick this off, when I was 25, I was struggling financially,
and it wasn't that I didn't work. I was working three jobs in
college at once. I'd been working unofficially since I was 12 and
got caught shoplifting Red Bulls wearing eyeliner and a My
Chemical Romance shirt—thought I was really punk rock, story for
another time. Parents like, "We're not paying for this, dude." I
had to get a job and work as a golf caddy, carrying rich people's
clubs and watching them throw fits when they missed the ball and
break a club—it was real-life Happy Gilmore. "Son of a b, why
didn't you just go home? Are you too good for your home?" So, I
added up all the jobs because I was like, "Dude, I've been
working since I was 12 years old, how do I have not a single
dollar to show for this?" And I realized this lesson: I would
make money, and then bills would come up, and then I would make
some money, and I would spend it. I would make some money and
find a way to spend it, and that netted out to $0. And that
pattern didn't go away. Making more money, say $10,000 a
month—good amount, I thought so too—until I looked back on the
year of my first six-figure year. "How do I only have $5,000 left
over?" This pattern appeared again where I would make $10,000,
and I would spend $8,000, $9,000, $10,000, and it netted out to
zero. And that's when I got really frustrated. I'm like, "I
didn't work those 20 jobs by 25 for fun. I worked them to get
ahead, yet I had nothing to show for it." This is the easiest way
to illustrate this point: it's not about the money you make; it's
about the money you keep. And that if you make a million dollars
but you spend a million and one, you are worse off than the
person who's making 50 and saving 30.
