How does one succeed in life?

I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):

Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).
Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.
Avoids sugar and is very fit.
If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Do not set goals—set systems.
Losing 20kg is a goal.
Making more friends 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.
Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.

That's it for today.
Living to your full potential is a goal.
Procrastinates a lot.

Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.
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.
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.
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
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.
What is your age now, and what age do you prefer to stay at forever?
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.
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.

Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Ask yourself:

Hangs out with loser friends.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.
Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.
What I need from you?
However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.
Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.
Does not procrastinate.
Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
“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.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).
Big dreamer but only in his mind.
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?
