Ho ho ho!
Merry Christmas my friendly friend.
Ol' St. Vic is here to bring you a jolly gift again this year.
But…
Ol' St. Vic is not some fat fellow sneaking down your chimney to eat all your cookies and drink all your milk and then leave you an electric beard-trimmer wrapped up in shiny wrapping-paper.
Ol' St. Vic is a lean and mean son of a bitch so you had better put away the cookies and milk and leave out a 12 oz medium-rare steak and 3 scrambled eggs seasoned with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
When I'm done with my snack I am going to give you the greatest gift of all: PRIDE OF SELF.
Here is how to claim your free gift of pride (3 simple steps):
1) Think long and hard about what you actually want this year.
Do not just open your mouth and spit out some random goals, I want you to give this some true thought: What do you actually want?
Ask yourself and give yourself enough time to answer. Don't discuss with anybody, don't ask anybody for advice, don't ask mommy and daddy “what do you think I should do?”.
Ask yourself and answer yourself.
Eliminate the confusion from your mind because the confusion is not real. You know exactly what you want, don't pretend that you do not.
CONFUSION. IS. NOT. REAL.
After you have figured out exactly what you want, you will do this…
2) Do not tell anybody what your goal is.
Your goal is for your eyes and ears only. Telling somebody your goal gives you an unearned sense of accomplishment.
DO NOT TELL A SINGLE SOUL ABOUT YOUR GOAL!
Words are magic, if you tell somebody your goals your mind will trick your body into thinking you already accomplished it.
By running your mouth, you get the feeling of accomplishment without accomplishing anything. That is why you keep your goals secret.
If you want to achieve it, you keep it secret.
You are allowed to run your mouth AFTER you have achieved your goals but never before.
After you have pondered the question “What do I actually want?” and when you have learned to keep this secret to yourself, this is what you do…
3) Do one thing every single day that gets you closer to your goal.
This is not optional, it is mandatory. To develop pride of self requires you to do the work. Old Man Christmas cannot do this work for you.
Do one thing every single day that gets you closer to your goal. Do this for the next 365 days. At the end of 365 days it will be time to look in the mirror.
What you will see in the mirror, perhaps for the first time, is your soul radiating from your skin.
Some people call this an aura. I call this golden aura radiating from your skin something else.
I call it…
PRIDE OF SELF.
Pride of self is evident for everyone in the world to see, even you can see it in the mirror.
In 365 days from today you will get a vision from the ghost of Christmas past, you will run to the mirror to check, and you will confirm that your soul glows.
You will think this to yourself:
“Wow! All it takes to make a soul glow is a mind free of confusion, a mouth kept shut, and action taken every single day. Now I have an aura exuding the prettiest color in the rainbow!”
My friendly friend of Christmas, this is how you achieve your transformation this year.
Give yourself a Christmas gift and follow these 3 steps. After you do, you will have an aura exuding the prettiest color of the rainbow…
GOLD.
Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas Victor! The year 2017 was a significant turning point in my life. I used to be a hard alcoholic, smoker, and out of shape piece of shit. I had absolutely no direction in life. No drive. I woke up every single weekend with a hangover and then I would hate myself the whole week for drinking. Then I would get drunk again the next weekend. What a pitiful existence! Then one day I just decided this was it; I had to change my life. That same day I was browsing around on the Internet and found one of your articles. It clicked instantly. I read some more articles and each one threw more gasoline in to my fire. I actually spent that whole night awake and just kept reading your blog. I just could not stop.The next day, I then decided to quit drinking and smoking, cold turkey. I started excercising like a maniac and eating right. My initial goal was just to do something every day that I could be proud of the next day. And it worked. I felt so fucking good after a while that I could not believe it. You, my man, were the source of it all.
I do believe we are all like a pile of tinder. We just need the right spark to light the fire. The problem is that most people never bother to find it. Bold & Determined was my spark.
Regards,
Matias
Merry Christmas Vic! Thanks again for an amazing message this year on Christmas. Exactly what I needed to read today to give me the kick in the ass I need. You have helped take me from a skinny fat telemarketer to a jacked real estate agent over the last 4 years but I have not tapped into my true potential through consistency. Now is the time to change that.
Hello Victor. I am ending the year on a high note and have posted details of on how I made a recent win that came from keeping at it despite setbacks. I worked at it making small improvements daily and it paid off.

As for keeping your personal goals to yourself that is a good idea because telling someone will usually cause them to interject with negative feedback.
Merry Christmas Victor!
Merry Christmess Vic and have a good day
Merry christmas, Victor. I will put your advice to good and respectable work this year. Have a great one!
Wanted to add real quick that i’ve been reading BAD for some months know and applying the ideas. My life is already getting better. The tips and tricks are great, but the mindset of pushing life obstacles and, just like with muscles, getting my character a little bit stronger and more respectable daily and weekly…thats what is getting the work done and get the results. It is in fact becoming a positive addiction.
Merry Christmas Ol Saint Vic!
Feliz navidad and Merry Christmas from a gringo in Mexico City!
Merry Christmas Vic! Thank you as always. And damn straight…..people know what they want but fail to act because they fear that someone (or many) will disapprove - I have caught myself being guilty of this unfortunately. I appreciate your doses of reality that keep us on the right path.
I am really happy for this blog and its amazing post!. Greetings from Venezuela ! - This is my whastapp number for other readers from this tribe: +584242774696
Hey Victor,
Your work has really inspired me, and clearly a lot of other people, to break free from my shackles and start doing something with my life. I find the confidence you have to be fucking insane and I can’t wait to finish putting my steps into action and doing what I really love, making money! Your journey is going to be heading in some remarkable directions and I can’t wait to hear about it!
Thank God. Finally a new piece. I’ve been waiting for the next dope article all fucking Christmas.
… Pride goeth before a fall.
Another great article Victor. Always motivating. Also found a book for you, it’s worth reading. Sly Moves by Stallone. Have a great new year. But I know you make every day beyond great.
Read this twice already. Going for 3. 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Great advice!! Happy Holidays, Vic!
Merry Christmas, Victor.
Of all the places you have stayed, which one has offered the best living conditions? I love Southern California but it’s too nosy and crowded, not to mention expensive.
SE Asia seems like a good bet in terms of good weather + affordable + conducive to peaceful and productive living.
Wishing you the best for the upcoming year, my brotha from anotha motha!!

Old.St.Vic visited me about 3 years ago.
I am telling you for fact, that the aura you will radiate by following these 3 steps, will not only exude the prettiest color of the rainbow - gold - but it will also attract a lot of green, if you know what I mean.
Like a magnet, guaranteed.
Thanks Vic! Wish you best for 2018 Wolf!
I think that this point 2. is missing in 30Days of Disciplin a uptade on this would be Good
2) Do not tell anybody what your goal is.
„DO NOT TELL A SINGLE SOUL ABOUT YOUR GOAL!“
All B&D successor Wish you all best to Wolfs!
Auuuuuu
Lets the Year 2018 to be the Year of B&D Readers.
Fulfil the wishes of Ol’ St. Vic and follow these 3 steps. Transmute your desires into reality with will and action. Command your present and change your future.
Tell me where you are a year from now. Good luck.
Thanks Victor. I wrote a book this year thanks to you. I am half way to finishing a new one.
It´s no exaggeration to say you saved my life.
Only 1 year people.
Only 1 !
365 days and you can lay the great foundations for the big skyscraper of your new life.
And this is the secret -> “mouth kept shut”.
