You know the high energy entrepreneur when you see him.
He's always sharp - sharp eyes, sharp dress, sharp tongue and sharp jawline.
He seems to always be on like Jerry Seinfeld.
He is the high energy entrepreneur that makes average Joes feel like total failures.
‘Some people are lucky' is what you think to yourself. ‘How can someone be so energetic' you wonder.
‘It's not like normal people have the energy to work 16 hours per day. It's too much!'
Soon you will learn you do have the energy, you just haven't used it correctly. Here's how you use your energy correctly…
16 Rules Of The High Energy Entrepreneur
1. This one thing generates energy better than any stimulant in the world
The #1 thing that generates energy better than anything in the world is… ENTHUSIASM.
Enthusiasm is the precursor for energy.
No enthusiasm = no energy.
Big enthusiasm = big energy.
No matter how much sleep you got, how many calories you ate, none of it matters of you don't have enthusiasm.
Let me explain… Let's say there are two men. One man is a successful entrepreneur and the other “man” is a dork who plays video games.
The entrepreneur works 12-16 hours per day building his business and does basically nothing else.
The dork plays video games for 12-16 hours per day and does basically nothing else.
They both spend 12-16 hours per day doing what they are enthusiastic about.
Both the dork and the high energy entrepreneur have the enthusiasm to spend 12-16 hours per day doing what they enjoy doing.
See, they both have high energy. The dork focuses his energy on a game that gives him no benefit or return.
2. The high energy entrepreneur focuses his energy on another game…
The high energy entrepreneur focuses his vital energy on the game of damn good business.
In the game of damn good business you keep score the same way you keep score in video games… by making it to a new level.
These males both spend 12-16 hours per day doing what they love to do but only the entrepreneur is rewarded externally, the game player is only rewarded in virtual reality.
The entrepreneur spends his energy on business and the dork spends his energy on games, never “having the energy” to start a business… because he spent his energy playing video games.
They both have enthusiasm, the precursor to energy, it just has to be redirected.
3. ‘I wish I could start a business but I just don't have the energy.'
Ever say that?
If so you were right, you don't have the energy. But you could have the energy.
You just have to realize that energy is like money.
A business costs money to open, doesn't it? If you want to open a business you have to pay the money to open the business.
If you don't have the money, because you spent it somewhere else, then you cannot open a business … because you spent the money elsewhere and now you don't have any money.
But if you decide to not spend the money elsewhere, and only spend the money on the new business, then you will have the money to start the business.
Energy works the same way that money works. If you spend too much energy doing activity A, you will not have enough energy for activity B.
We all have energy, to varying degrees, but what separates the high energy entrepreneurs from the low-energy do-nothings is where we spend our energy.
If you spend your energy in one place (like video games, sex, television) then you will not have the energy to build a damn good business.
If you spend your energy playing video games of course you will not have the energy to focus on business.
Energy is not infinite, energy is finite so spend your energy where it counts.
And the only thing that counts is damn good business.
4. Realize that you DO have the energy
You must recognize that if you have some sort of passion then you do in fact have enthusiasm.
Enthusiasm is where energy comes from. There is NO energy without first having enthusiasm.
The dork who plays video games is just as high energy as the high energy businessman.
You must realize that you have both enthusiasm and energy… but you aren't careful with your energy spending and you're spending it in the wrong place.
Energy is like money, if you spend it doing activity A then you will not have enough energy to spend it on Activity B (in this instance B is for Business and A is for Asshole).
If you spent all your energy on being an asshole you will not have any energy left for business. So what the heck do you do?
5. The difference between average people and high energy entrepreneurs is…
The difference between average assholes and brilliant businessmen is… FOCUSED ENERGY.
People who sit around all day playing video games focus their energy in the wrong place. YES! In the wrong place.
Playing video games all day is a waste of time… but so is doing a lot of other things like working jobs you hate.
Everyone has the energy, we just spend the energy in different places.
Everyone can spend all day doing something they love to do.
We can't spend all day doing something we hate to do. So what's the key?
6. Focus the energy in the right spot
Napoleon Hill wrote about Sexual Transmutation in his groundbreaking masterpiece Think And Grow Rich.
We all have sexual energy. How we use that sexual energy is the key. Many “people” just fuck all the time and waste the benefits of sexual transmutation.
The smart and the driven use their sexual energy and re-route it to business.
This does not mean you can never have sex, it means you use that primal energy that everyone has and you re-route it to damn good business.
Focused energy is the difference between the money making entrepreneur and the broke video gamer.
The entrepreneur focuses his energy were it will give him life benefits while the video games gets only virtual reality benefits.
Think of energy as money. To start a business costs money — If you want to start a business you have to pay for it.
If you have the money then you can spend it on the new business. If you don't have the money because spent your money elsewhere then you obviously cannot pay for your new business.
So the solution is to save your “money” so you can buy what counts. If you didn't spend that money elsewhere then you would have that money for your new business.
Don't spend your energy anywhere else but on damn good business.
It's easy to spend your energy on business when you realize business is the funnest game God ever made and the benefits are real (and great).
7. BUILDING A BUSINESS TAKES FOCUSED ENERGY!
You cannot give away your energy to lesser tasks if you wish to do something big and great — like build a damn good business.
You have to save your energy for where it counts.
Do you know what cyclists who compete in grueling bike races like Tour de France do when they aren't training or racing?
They do nothing.
They save every ounce of energy for where it counts — riding up and down mountains.
Cyclists notoriously hate stairs because stairs rob them of energy they may need on a grueling climb. Some cyclists even make their teams CARRY them up stairs.
Focused energy is no joke. You need big energy to do something big and you cannot waste your energy elsewhere.
I suggest you read the great book Deep Work to understand more about focused energy.
I only read the first chapter and I recommend every single would-be high energy entrepreneur read at least that first chapter.
Deep Work is a real revelation.
8. Damn good business is a never-ending video game
Video gamers have one thing right — life is a big game and that's all it is.
In a video game, you make it to a new level, then you conquer that level and you repeat the process. Then you turn off the gaming console and you're still a dork with no money.
Damn good business is a never-ending video game. It goes on forever.
The high energy entrepreneur makes damn good business his game of choice and his mission is to transcend and consistently make it to a new level.
When the high energy entrepreneur makes it to a new level he makes more money, closes more deals, and build more wealth.
In damn good business… the more money you make, the more levels you rise to.
In the game of damn good business you always want to get to the next level … always!
Businessmen all want to get to the next level.
Damn great businessmen don't give much of a damn about spending the money they make … the money is how we keep score.
The real fulfilment comes from making it to the next level, that's what actually drives high energy entrepreneurs (just like it drives video gamers).
Think of damn good business like a game that you have to beat … because that's all it is. It's a fun game that has big rewards.
9. Get addicted to the game of business and always chase a new level of success
Video games work very well to get you addicted. They make you feel like “I HAVE TO BEAT THIS GAME!”
That's exactly how you should feel about damn good business.
The best in business are completely addicted and feel they MUST succeed and conquer. It's not an option, it's a must.
“But addictions are baaaaaaad Victor!”
Shut the f*ck up! Addiction and obsession is required for mega success. Hear that? REQUIRED. Not optional.
You cannot be afraid of going all in.
If you ain't addicted you ain't accomplishing anything.
Non-addicted people get bored and quit. You won't play a video game for 12 hours if you aren't addicted and you won't work 12 hour days if you aren't addicted. Get used to it.
Boredom is the enemy of achievement but there is one way to kill boredom forever… be completely addicted to your game and don't let outside interferences lead you astray.
If you play the game the way I tell you to play the game you will become addicted. How? Just like video games, you will always need to get to the next level.
Making 100k a year is great… when you're making 50k a year. After you make 100k a year it's total shit so you have to work towards making 200k a year “and then you'll be happy.”
Then you make 200k a year and you realize it's shit so you need to make 500k a year. When you make 500k a year you realize it's shit money for poor people and you have to keep going.
It's never enough and that's the point — you will always be moving to the next level.
10. The #1 thing EVERY entrepreneur does before 9am
There is one thing EVERY entrepreneur does before 9am… what is it?
Hit the gym? Make phone calls to China? Go for a run? For Chrissakes what is it, Victor?!
Before 9am, every successful entrepreneur … WAKES UP!
You can't be high energy if you're sleeping like a damn baby! Life happens to people who are awake.
That's why every high energy entrepreneur wakes up early. There is no time to waste, gotta go go go, cannot be slow slow slow.
Big business is waiting and big business never sleeps.
You have to get up and get to work right away. There is no sleeping in when damn good business is on the line.
Morning is the best time of day for productivity and focus and that's a fact, Jack.
If you don't believe me, you should, then believe science…
Humans have what is called a circadian rhythm. This circadian rhythm determines when we are at our most alert.
11. Take advantage of the natural circadian rhythm and be ALERT
You have to wake up earlier to take advantage of your natural alertness.
Humans are the most alert at 10am. See photograph below for a look at a human's circadian rhythm.
When you are the most alert is when you are going to be the most prepared to get some damn good work done.
Since humans are most alert at 10am that means should should wake up at 10am? Heavens no.
You have to ALREADY BE AWAKE AND READY TO GO BEFORE 10AM to take advantage of your natural alertness.
It takes time to “wake up” and be alert. You have to be awake well before 10am. You will not be alert when you just wake up no matter who you are.
By 10am you should already have been awake for hours (and have been to the gym and back).
Your body wants you to wake up between 6:45am and 7:30am. That's when your body is raises your blood pressure and stops your melatonin secretion (melatonin is the sleep hormone).
High energy entrepreneurs wake up earlier than that … typically any time between 5am and 6:30am is the wake up time of high energy pros.
That gives you a good few hours to wake up, hit the gym prepare for the day, and take advantage of the time of the day when you are the most alert — 10am.
What if it's hard to wake up?
It isn't hard to wake up so that's a silly question. When you want to wake up, nothing can keep you asleep.
Have you ever seen a kid sleep in on Christmas morning when he has new presents from Santa Claus ready to open?
Kids wake up on Christmas morning before the sun even comes out. Why? Because they have extreme enthusiasm for waking up.
If you have a problem waking up early it's not a problem of “waking up” … it's a problem of motivation and enthusiasm.
You need to be enthused to wake up, otherwise you will just sleep.
If that's you, go ahead and sleep in. The rest of us will be wide awake and in the gym before you even hit your snooze button for the 3rd time.
To learn how to wake up like a man with discipline, follow 30 Days of Discipline.
12. Take breaks to re-charge… but take breaks at the right time
Human beings have a natural lull in energy in the afternoon, starting at about 3pm. That's a great time to take a break and re-charge.
I didn't say it was a time to be lazy and eat potato chips, it's a time to take a break from a heavy mental workload.
Many high energy artists and pros use this time to hit the gym and recharge.
There are 2 times of day that a high energy entrepreneur works out:
First thing in the morning or
During the afternoon lull.
There is always an afternoon lull due to humans circadian rhythms. During this time your brain becomes dull and thinking becomes much harder to do.
Rather that power-through this “lazy time” of the afternoon, you can go to the gym and get a hard workout in.
The workout will clear your brain so when you get back to work you're as fresh as a daisy and as sharp as a nail.
13. Work out the body to keep the mind sharp.
Who do you think has more energy? A guy who spends all day on the couch or a guy who trains hard in the gym 5 days per week?
The guy who trains his body has more energy and that's a fact, Jack.
A weak body makes your mind weak. There is no partial strength. You are strong fully or you are weak fully.
You cannot have a strong mind and a weak body.
A weak body with a “strong mind” makes you very feminine. Good luck closing deals as a frumpy girly-man.
Solution: Work out every day. Move the body every day.
When to work out? Work out it in your off hours — don't steal focus from your damn good business just to work out.
Work out in your off time. Never waste the best business time of day — like 10am — on working out.
You cannot afford to not work out!
I don't care if you like it or not, working out a must. You work out so you can build … ENDURANCE.
Cardio builds your body enough to handle long hours and heavy travel schedules.
Lifting weights like a man gives you strength and confidence - which allows you to communicate with HIGH ENERGY.
If you aren't a fitness buff right now, you damn sure better become one, because you absolutely need… STRENGTH!
To get strong, quit wasting your time searching for routines that never work and just follow the routine that has been proven to work … BODY OF A SPARTAN.
14. High achievers always have to project this one thing… STRENGTH
Like a character in a video game, weakness is crushed and killed right away.
The high energy businessman always have to project STRENGTH.
Always BE strong but more importantly always PROJECT strength.
Do you know what the great thing about projecting strength is?
You never have to use strength because if you project strength, people will already know you mean business.
If you project weakness people will come at you hard and they will test you. If you project strength this will not happen.
Some dogs will attack people who project weakness and fear.
Those same dogs will pee themselves and whimper if you project total strength to them.
If you can simply look at a dog and make a dog pee then you can project strength.
But if that doesn't work out… how long could you run until you get tired and the dog catches you?
15. The #1 thing you need to have high energy all day long… ENDURANCE
Energy that lasts ALL DAY is not really energy … it's ENDURANCE.
Endurance is the ability to just keep going no matter what gets in your way.
Endurance is not a natural, “genetic” gift. Endurance has to be built up from training.
You have to train for endurance. In the gym and in your business life.
Endurance is built up over time. You didn't think you were going to just wake up tomorrow with extreme endurance did you?
YOU HAVE TO BUILD ENDURANCE!!!!!!
Amateur boxing matches last only 3 rounds at 3 minutes per round. A professional boxing match lasts 10 rounds at 3 minutes per round. A championship bout lasts 12 rounds at 3 minutes per round.
Why not just start every single fighter at 12 rounds? Because it takes time to build incredible endurance!
“In boxing, they start off 4 rounders. Then a year later they might be 6 rounders and then 8 rounders and then 10 rounders. And then finally they BECOME and flourish into a championship fighter. The reason you start off at 4 rounds and end up at 12 rounds 5 years later is because the body needs to get used to working at that rate for that period of time. You can't do it in a 6 month period. You can't become a championship fighter in a 6 month period.” - Eddie Alvarez, UFC lightweight champion
You need endurance to be a high energy entrepreneur, and you'd better start building it right now.
16. Do not allow boredom to steal your enthusiasm
When you play a video game you always know what the strategy is: play this level, beat this level, move on to the next level.
It's the same in the game of damn good business… always get to the next level.
But you have to make sure you have a plan or outline. You can't stroll into the office with no agenda because you won't get anything done.
You have to know what needs to be done, so you can do it.
Energy means jack shit if you don't have tasks and projects to do.
You cannot wake up hungry if you aren't waking up for anything. You have to have a plan ready for you when you wake up.
If you don't have a plan you are just going to be bored.
DON'T ALLOW BOREDOM! BOREDOM IS THE KILLER OF ENERGY!
Boredom is the mind-killer and energy-sapper so you always need a plan. You always need a project to work on.
You. Always. Need. A. Next. Level. To. Work. Towards.
Always.
When you stop … that's when it's over.
Don't stop. Endure. Keep going. Reap the rewards. Always have a battle plan.
That's how you become….
A HIGH ENERGY ENTREPRENEUR.
BAM!
Until next time.
Your man,
-Victor Pride

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
This is diamond and platinum truth slammed down on an iron table with a thundering clang of reality.
Nothing can be added to this article. It is absolute truth.
Wasted time is a mortal sin.
GET UP AND WALK.
Regards,
Ivan
Thank you Ivan.
I second this; I am always headed for that next level, because it’s the epitome of self-improvement. We’re happiest in striving progression, not always in the moment of our goals’ attainment.
By the way - Ivan, I just found your site and I am really enjoying it.
It’s refreshing to see ancient power structure, articulated with breadth and uniqueness. Aside from that, your images and graphical presentation represent a feel of elite order. Coming from a graphic design background, I really appreciate it - keep up the enlightening content, friend.
I would also share a perspective that’s been harped on briefly. When I ingest healthy fats of the organic saturated/omega-3 realm, and no carbohydrates, I’m on fire and crystal clear in the (60% fatty) brain. Cycles of ketosis boost me to unthinkable levels, with zero crash and super-creative productivity.
- Evan
As an ex-video game addict, I can strongly attest to the truth of this article. I remember when I was a kid, I hated going to bed because I couldn’t wait to get up in the morning to keep playing so I could get to the next level of whatever game I was addicted to.
When I began my career in finance, my enthusiasm was totally destroyed by office life. I’d hit the snooze button at least 3-4 times and spend up to half an hour in the shower half asleep because I hated my job. I ate like shit, didn’t work out, drank too much, became a low energy, beta fat bastard.
I had a great salary too but no amount of money in the world can buy enthusiasm and energy. That has to come from you and the things that you build… Things that can grow….. Men get happiness from growth. That’s what Victor is talking about when he says it’s not about the money. The money simply measures the growth of your business.
Ever wonder how so many rich people seem so depressed when they seem to have it all in the eyes of an average consumerist? It’s because they are not growing.
I used to be baffled at how multi-millionaires could have no energy and piss their wealth away in toxic vices. Now I get it. At some point they stopped playing the game. They felt they had reached the top level but there’s always a next level. Look at Trump. Scarce minded people would think he could’ve sailed off into the sunset long ago but the guy just loves to play the game of success. He even says it constantly. He loves to win.
The feeling I have now towards writing and building my business is just the same as that kid who wanted to get to the next level except now I am achieving growth in real life. My bank account is still pretty small but that’s okay. Every night I go to bed asking myself am I better man now than I was 24 hours ago? If the answer is yes then I know everything will be fine in the long run.
Thanks Victor for showing me how to play the game. It’s been fun so far and I know it’s only going to get better.
Me and you are in the same position. I just started on the road to entrepreneurship and it is engaging. I’m just getting my forms set up for e-mail marketing, because as Vic advises on his checklist, “open an account with mailchimp or aweber and start collecting subscriber emails.”
It’s important to create and add value. This is what sets you apart from the other players. What knowledge you bring to the table, and how it makes you-nique.
If you have a twitter, let’s connect. @striking_tan.

Good call https://twitter.com/victor_pride/status/757606035779485696
Spot-on and brilliant.
I was a time-waster for 20 years. When I quit playing video games and chasing women, it was easy to slide that energy over to business.
Funny thing is, when you quit chasing pussy and start making money you stop having to chase anything but more success.
Fucking phenomenal work, Victor!
Thank you Lloyd!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Hi Victor! I need your advice
In a month I’ll be drilling and killing, doing damn important hustling for my life. I will be on the last year studing in my University, writing a diploma, working the rest of the day and have an intensive preperation for GRE exam.
Even now, I’m lack of energy of any kind. Today I’m strating 30 days of discipline, hope it will help me.
Victor, what else you can advice for energy boost? I mean mooving my endurance to the new level. Maybe some supplements? Modafinil is prohibited here, in Russia, I’m looking forward ordering you brand Red Supplements. What could you advice for the energy level and mind focuse?
Thanks in advance!
Max
You just read the answer to your question. Read it again.
Damn. I’ve been thinking about this very topic for the last few months. I was once a video-game dork, now I’m just a dork.
Napoleon Hill tells you to take a self inventory before you can be successful.
I have found with each useless habit I eliminate the more successful my life becomes. It’s been a long road and there’s a few more habits to kill off, but this article replinshed me with…..
FOCUS and ENERGY!
As always, thanks again for your ability to make awake men successful.
Thanks Daywalker
Hey Victor, killing it with the articles lately! Big fan of yours and B&D. Have been following you since 2012 when MJ Demarco retweeted one of your articles. I follow you on twitter too.
No hate, or provocation intended, just a sincere question: Why do you hate (dislike?) Muslims so much?
I’m a third generation British Muslim myself. My grandfather fought in WW2. Im proud to be European and Muslim at the same time. I get it with the recent global climate i.e ISIS grabbing all the headlines and shit, but you do know most Muslims are just normal people. We take shits, eat shit once in a while and want to be successful and prosperous just like everyone else. I don’t know if you’ve interacted with Muslims much, perhaps you have considering you’re pretty well travelled.
You’re entitled to form your opinion however you wish but I’d say this: a lot of the shit you see in mainstream and social media is just that, shit!
Let me know your thoughts.
Peace
I have a sincere question for you Jay: Why are you so ashamed of being a Muslim? Do you feel inferior? These are questions to ask yourself.
You asked me why I hate muslims so much, which is total projection. Use the search bar at the top of B&D and type muslim and you will find zero responses. See here: https://boldanddeterminedarchive.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Screen-Shot-2016-07-25-at-1.23.38-PM.png
I have never written about muslims. The thing about hating muslims is something you made up in your mind and projected onto me. I’d figure out myself if I were you. Good luck.
That is a victim mentality and should not affect you at all. A Man of high value does not allow race and religion to be his limiting factor.
Hate is such a strong term and is often overused by overtly emotional people.
Unlike other Man-related blogs out there, Bold and Determine does Not tangle on trivialities such as race, religion, drama, and obsession with heritage. This is a go-getter style website which is what attracts a lot of Men.
Amen.
Yo Victor,
How much caffeine you had when you wrote this article?
One cup. I eliminated my caffeine tolerance by quitting coffee for 3 months. Now coffee works again … with a vengeance! This explains it -> https://redsupplements.com/caffeine-cycling/
Another brilliant and inspiring post, Vic. Love it.
Thank you Jerry
You weren’t kidding when you said HIGH ENERGY!!!!!
Great layout and flow bud.
This article is a good motivator for “stuck in a rut” entrepreneurs.
???? HIGH ENERGY! ????
Thanks Nestor!
Thanks Vic, much appreciated. My biggest takeaway is I need to create a schedule for every hour of my day and work my schedule for maximum energy and accomplishment. Just started reading the book the way of the seal and this is right in line with what I’m taking from that book. Can’t wait for New World Ronin!
Thanks Wes
This was probably one of my favorite articles of yours Victor. Great information and amazing motivation. This is exactly what I needed right now! Been building my business slowly, but now it’s time to get aggressive. Thank you.
Thank you Jonah
Nice one Victor, I’ve finally broken away from being a wage slave and now have time to focus on me Inc, so this was very good for me. Especially the bit about not powering through the down time and going to the gym instead.
I’m wondering do you get a weekly downtime as well? I find that Wednesdays is a really hard day for me, so recently I have been saving that for low energy domestic stuff. I still get that tinge of guilt though, seeing as I’m so in the habit of just being on the go.
I’d love to hear if you have a similar weekly cycle?
TBH I don’t even usually know what day it is.
Domestic stuff still needs to be done. If you’re at a stage where you’re the one to do it, is there something wrong with using your down days for it?
Hey victor have you read this book? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B0H9RHO/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1
No, never heard of it. Is it good?
I liked it.It reminded me of something you may have written.Inspiring,None the less thought I would ask.
“Realize that you DO have the energy” - Once you realise (exscuse the spelling I’m from Aus!) you have it, you unlock it!
We all have energy. Just look at 82/81 year old bob proctor bouncing around on youtube.
Harnessing sexual energy is perhaps one of the most important useful areas which Men today should conquer.
When you are constantly horny and thinking about fucking, you cannot get business done and cannot focus.
Unless fucking is your business (selling fucking lifestyle pdf or avi format or being a male porn star).
For most of us, we have to make money.
The thought of initial phase of sex and foreplay triggers your brain to salivate for the moment. It’s like fast food. You can’t wait to eat the whole box of pizza but afterward, you kind of regret and you don’t feel well. Maybe you do but now that it’s over, you can’t do it again at the moment. It’s done and you wonder… “That’s it?”
Well for sex, after you are done fucking… you go “Wow that’s it” and then you can’t do it again and then your energy is drained out. Back to square one. Same feeling afterward, time passed, energy drained… -> Feels like shit. Don’t get me wrong. Sex is good but use it sparingly.
If Men were constantly thinking about sex 24/7, then we probably wouldn’t have made so much scientific and industrial achievements throughout history. We would be no different from rabbits and apes who fuck all day. You are not an animal. You are human being. Self respecting Male.
Have a loyal women by your side so that when you do fuck then make sure you do this at night time before going to sleep after you get all your shit and business taken care of. If you really want to fuck in the morning or afternoon, make it a quickie.
Doing business during sunny afternoon gives you natural light and you don’t have to be night owl by turning on lamps and rob yourself a good sleep.
If you don’t have a girlfriend right now then don’t worry of all that. If your desire towards business success is so strong .. that you would want it then sex and being horny wouldn’t even come up in your mind and if it does, it wouldn’t affect you. If you don’t want it more than 100 percent then you don’t want it period.
If you couldn’t finish that day’s business then rob yourself of sex and train yourself like that.
A Man who built his wealth ground up and had one woman his entire life is better than a Man who fucked all kinds of hot females but is constantly wanting more- he is never satisfied and his sexual urge is never quenched. The most you do when you fuck variety of women is brag to your male friends but deep down inside, you know you are worth more than that.
Sooner or later, he is going to want more sexual deviant acts to get extra stimuli towards his penis.
Having the skills to close business deals with anyone (most likely putting odds in your favor and have a good 95% chance of developing good persuasion skills) will be instrumental skills that help your future by LIFETIME.
When you consume coffee, make sure you do it at right time for a good purpose. Helps you focus so you do your work right away. Don’t drink it just for sake of drinking it.
Whatever you do, make sure it has purpose and good return of value. Focus on value not price.
Instant gratification, promise of instant results = Crap
Long, enduring work that pays off = Good
The duration of time it takes for you to get from Point A to Point B. That time it takes for you to make a fruitful work so it pays off. The long, strenuous, mental hardship and any challenges you face and you win through all that will make you Great Man. When you go through instant gratification, you don’t get to enjoy all that.
Think about the process of making Diamond. The initial part doesn’t look exciting but time and time… when you go through the end, you get a beautiful results.
A ——————————————————————————————————-> B
(A Man was made to work through harsh journey; whether it’s physical, mental and/or both). Can’t have it all nice. It’s what separates Men from the boys.
Not
A -> B (short and instant). Most people today (both men and women) do want this… Salesman understand this. They understand what the masses want.
Entrepreneurs are go getters who simply showed up and never gave up on themselves. High belief and action takers. Females and low value men complain, cry, and moan. A Man of high value doesn’t. He simply takes care of business and solves problem. If he is able to solve his own problem and his own problem happen to also align in common with most people’s problem, that means opportunity. Opportunity to solve other people’s (mass) problem in exchange of $$$. Make money. A fun game.
Video games have multiple lives until it says game over.
Real life, game over only when you die. When you are living and breathing then you play the game. Money making game.
If your sole existence is just to eat, shit, fuck, sleep and rinse and repeat. Why live? Might as well be dead.
Create something valuable towards the society. This is something you can look back and say …” I DID IT” and there is no one that can take that away from you because you BUILT it.

FUCK YES!!!
Following through on your advice to write a 5000 word mission statement and condense it in to 250. Reading this is EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED
WOOOO!
My man
Great article Victor. I agree that getting up early is better than sleeping in, but my body disagrees. My body likes to get up after noon and stay up late. When I fight it, I may win, but only temporary. If I can get myself to get up at 6am, my body will snap back to getting up and staying up late in only a few days and stay there for months. So now I just go with the flow and work as much as I can when I have the energy and rest and have fun when I don’t. Btw, why’d you stop putting videos on YouTube? I enjoyed them as I’m sure many others guys did. And what happened to Mike Chagares???
“Btw, why’d you stop putting videos on YouTube? I enjoyed them as I’m sure many others guys did. And what happened to Mike Chagares???”
I stopped putting videos on youtube because I took away all distractions and sent 100% of available focus to the mission, which is written word. Many did enjoy the videos and they were great, but I’m not 100% on board on youtube so I’m zero. Mike Chagares had a medical emergency, he is alive and recuperating.
Excellent decision.
Sounds scary. Hope he recovers soon and gets back to doing his thing.
Thanks for the update. Still hoping to see you in Boise someday.
Thanks for the energy kick, Victor!
As far as PC games and enthusiasm concerned…
A friend of mine has been playing “World of Warcraft” for about 11 years, about 18 hours a day. Totally freaky! One day he was even brought to hospital because he fainted from lack of oxygen. But at the end he found the way how to make a good buck off his passion. He is upgrading characters for sheikhs, who pay really good money so they can play all this top level characters for the sake of winner’s thrill and having big reputation in the online world. So enthusiasm + diligent business mindset will make it! Opportunities are everywhere
There you go! It’s all in the mindset.
I don’t know if you had insight into my life but this is surprisingly relevant to me. Hell, you even referenced my name multiple times.
I just came back from a few weeks of solid Muay thai and boxing training in Thailand. I’ve got plenty I could write about and plenty more training to do, but yesterday afternoon I decided to play video games for the first time in months instead.
You even used boxing as an example and I’m training for an amateur fight. I’ve learnt my lesson, no more fucking around. Victor Pride is all seeing and all knowing
“I don’t know if you had insight into my life but this is surprisingly relevant to me.”
That’s because I do have insight into your life. All of you, at any age.
hahaha! Uncle Victor and his crystal ball.
Very high energy article, thanks for the continued inspiration, have been a reader for many years now. Love your work man.
Thank you Ben
I’ve been reading this blog since 2012 and I’d say your last five articles are your best yet.
Thank you Alexander.
Hi, Vic. I can’t wait to read ‘NWR’. I just have a feeling that book it’s going to be your masterpiece.
I have a question about this post. Specifically about the natural circadian rhythm.
I’ve found that I become more focused on my work at 22:00. Since then, I like to do my stuff until 2:00. Specially writing.
And I normally (without clock alarms) woke up about 9:00.
May I lose adventage for my sleep time?

Some people are night owls. Do what produces results …. not just what you think you like best … do what produces results. If working at night produces better results, do it.
Benjamin Franklin coined the phrase “Time is Money”, and spelt out the associated opportunity cost reasoning in his “Advice to a Young Tradesman” (1746): “Remember that Time is Money. He that can earn Ten Shillings a Day by his Labour, and goes abroad, or sits idle one half of that Day, tho’ he spends but Sixpence during his Diversion or Idleness, ought not to reckon That the only Expence; he has really spent or rather thrown away Five Shillings besides.”
Great quote.
This article is just the injection of energy needed to push readers over the edge and into action. Clear-cut, to-the-point, useful information here for anyone that wants to accomplish something real with their lives.
Bravo.
Amazing Article
Thank you
I used to work at a gym and occasionally I would cover the night shift for a friend of mine. That’s where I met a “high energy entrepreneur”. He would come in at 4am and work out with a small group of guys. They were the only ones in the gym and he’d be using every piece of equipment and doing circuts like resting wasn’t even a though. He’s a super fit 40+ year old whos easily a multi millionaire. He’s always high energy, even at 4am and he works super long days. Nice guy too.
This is a great article! Gotta step up my game!
“So You Want To Be A High Energy Entrepreneur?” You BETCHA!
“If you liked this article, you are going to LOVE NEW WORLD RONIN. It is quite honestly the best book ever written.”
The Best Book Ever Written is CLEARLY the BIBLE as written in the King James Version (KJV): [REDACTED]
Nevertheless, absolutely LOVE your writing style and VOICE through your writings. Very engaging, impactful and “vibrant”; FULL of LIFE and ENERGY… I can SENSE it. Really good work you always do.
Though one thing is needful: you need JESUS Vic. Ya NEED HIM.

Please TURN TO HIM. TRUST HIM, He LOVES YOU: [REDACTED]
“Have you ever seen a kid sleep in on Christmas morning when he has new presents from Santa Claus ready to open?
Kids wake up on Christmas morning before the sun even comes out. Why? Because they have extreme enthusiasm for waking up.”
lol. So true. Remember those days… BOY were they good! Amen!

Thanks Jed, but no links in comments. Link in the one spot you are given to link (your name hyperlinks to a website of your choosing).
Gotcha. Thanks Vic. Blessings…

Another excellent article- your decision to divert attention away from creating Youtube videos is definitely paying dividends.
A guy I used to work with has now turned his 12-16 hours a day of video games on his days off into a very profitable business via Youtube and Twitch.
So even the video game addicts have no excuse. Anything can be turned into money.
Today is the greatest time in the history of the world to be an entrepreneur.
Wooooo!
P.S. The info on circadian rhythms is gold.
What’s his Twitch name, if you don’t mind sharing?
ITS VIC-A-MANIA BROTHER
Largest arms in the world brother, real hard to miss.
I’ve become a huge fan of your writing and lifestyle advocacy in a very short time, Victor. Glad to hear you’ve returned to civilization, and making Los Angeles your current base of operations. Any chance of doing live coaching/seminar workshop stuff here?
Cheers.
The Victor Pride Hard Time Blues Tour MAY commence in 2017.
Great article Vic!
Thank you Oscar!
Great article and I really liked that bio clock pic. Your info applies to more aspects of life than you know. Then again maybe you do.
As always great post!
I was addicted in video games back in college. Damn good thing my XBOX got broke and never have to replace again lol.
Thanks Victor for showing the real game of life.
Hey Victor, what cardio do you do after you’ve done squats/trained legs?
Great Article..Thanks Vic Pride
I read this article a few days ago and I was like “this is all BS, this doesn’t apply to me : I’m depressed, I have a porn addiction, I waste too much semen, I don’t have energy!”.
I turned off the computer.
Today I began thinking a bit. I do have the energy. I could do a lot of things.
I just don’t have the will to do anything, because I have no goal. I’m bored.
Idk what I’ll do but you were right after all.
