- Welcome to the six week Iron Mind training. If you bought this course, you may have seen one of my first videos, if not, the link is gonna be below here where I explain the secrets to having an Iron Mindset.

So I'm going to preach the virtues of an iron mindset. I know all of you bought this because you understand how important it is to have a mindset of iron.

But I'm going to sit here and once again explain to you how different the world is

when you have a mind which isn't warped

and affected easily by outside influences.

you are never going to become a robot. This has nothing to do with not feeling emotions, this has nothing to do with just becoming

an empty, emotionless void of a person. That's not what this is.

This is about understanding that you're a human being,

You're going to feel emotions.

This is a beautiful thing.

and making sure that you use them in the correct way.

A, and B, you do not ever let them stop you doing what you're supposed to do.

I say to people often, I haven't felt like going to the gym in two years.

I'm wearing my gym clothes right now. I just finished training.

I haven't felt like training in two years.

I, after 10 years of professional fighting, after giving my life to exercise,

Genuinely.

I have not woke up and felt like, "Oh, I really want to train." I haven't felt that way in a long time, that's why I retired from fighting.

but I have still gone and I have still trained regardless of how I feel.

So this is one of the tenants and there's gonna be a lot of things you're gonna learn and

of an iron mindset. It's the ability to not let your feelings affect you and sometimes to do the complete opposite of how you feel.

because you're not going to very often feel like working hard. You're not going to always feel like doing the right thing. You're not always going to be motivated.

The idea that you need to be constantly motivated

shows how weak your mindset is. I don't need motivation to go to the gym. I cannot want to go with every fiber of my being and I will still be there.

because I use

my

cerebral ability. I use my mind and I logically decide what I'm going to do with my day regardless of how I feel.

regardless of whether I'm motivated or not. This course is going to be six weeks

that's going to teach you how to put together a mindset that allows you to get things done.

Because that's all life is and that's all the world is.

Life is just getting things done,

doing the right things, doing the important things, making sure they're done efficiently and thoroughly

so that you live the best possible life. It's as simple as that. It's not particularly complicated.

A lot of the lessons that you would need to learn, I gave out in my free video.

So if you've not seen that video, once again, the link is below. Watch that video for a start.

because that teaches you some very, very important things about where your mind should be to begin.

And this six week training is going to be about exercises you can do to teach yourself slowly over time to put together a mindset that prevents you from failure.

Because if you have a mindset that doesn't allow you to fail,

then you're simply going to win. There's no other option.

So that's what this is all about.

So in the first week we're going to learn something which is extremely basic, but it's extremely important.

I'm not gonna be and I don't want to be one of those guys who's like

motivation, inspirational, that I've never been one of them people.

I don't believe in motivation, inspiration. I don't believe in that crap. I don't believe that you need motivation to get things done.

I'm not going to sit here and just talk a whole bunch of motivational things to make you feel good.

What I'm going to do is I'm going to tell you the things I always did,

that allowed me to put together the mindset I currently have.

So,

If you look at any story,

Literally any story with a hero in it.

they all have one thing in common and that thing is that there's

always a villain.

You cannot have a hero without a villain. It doesn't matter. You can think of any superhero, any comic book, any

Any book you can think of, any movie, there's always a good guy and there's a bad guy.

So for the good guy to exist,

There has to be a bad guy.

There's no other way for the duality of the universe to continue without this basic tenet.

So you want to be the good guy in your story, you want

and in every I've said this before actually as a man life is going to be difficult it's more difficult than being a woman is more difficult than anything else

So it's very easy to see yourself. Life is actually easier as a whole if you see yourself as a hero.

because in every single hero story, the hero suffers.

He has a hard time.

And if you understand that you're suffering because you're a hero, then the suffering begins to make sense.

So you can be sitting here right now going, my woman doesn't respect me. I have no money in the bank. This is difficult. I'm struggling here. I'm struggling there. You can feel sorry for yourself or you can say, yeah, my woman doesn't respect me. I'm struggling. I can't make money. But you know what? That's because I'm a fucking superhero.

and my life's gonna be hard.

because I'm a man, and as a hero, it's going to be difficult. These are the tests and the trials and tribulations I have to go through to become someone. Every single male superhero went through a whole ton of shit before he became superhero. You've seen the Batman movies.

His parents died. He was locked up in jail. All these bad things happen, and then they emerge as a hero.

And this is done for a reason, because it's the reality of life, especially as a man.

So right now you have to understand that you're the hero in this movie.

and if you're struggling, you're struggling for a very important reason. And how you handle these struggles

and how you deal with these struggles are going to decide the kind of person you're going to be afterwards. You're either going to be a superhero or you're going to succumb to them and you're going to fail.

So be happy that you're struggling because that's important.

That's the first thing.

There has to be a villain.

Now, most people think their villain is someone else.

You see this all the time. The villain's the opposite of the hero.

So if you're sitting at home and you haven't got much money and you're broke and you're pissed off and you're depressed, and you look at me, and I have four supercars and all these girls, I'm traveling the world, I go everywhere I want, you may think I'm your villain.

People look at other people and say, "Oh, that guy has this. This guy has this." And they become envious and they think that's the villain. That's not true. That's not the case. Because every single person has different circumstances.

There are things you have that I don't have, and there's things I have that you don't have.

So I may have had a genetic gift over you, for example, because I'm a fantastic kickboxer. But you may have been born more wealthy than me. I was born in a very, very poor family. So

I had advantages and disadvantages, you had advantages and disadvantages. So comparing yourself to other people is asinine and it's inane because it's not a level fair playing ground.

There are some people who were born to millionaire parents

who are gorgeous, model good looking.

and have six packs without trying.

Some people are lucky like that. That's just how it is. So comparing yourself to these people is not going to help you.

Your villain is nobody else. Your villain is someone you're going to create.

And you're going to create your villain because he's going to motivate you to be the most powerful hero you can possibly be.

So you're going to create your villain.

And this is the task for the first week. This is a six week training course. And over each week, you have a very important task. And the task for this week is to create your villain.

To make sure that there was no disadvantages involved, your villain's going to be a clone of you.

But what your villain's gonna have is he's gonna have some things you don't have.

and your villain is going to be the person who basically

without requirement for motivation,

without requirement, without being, no matter how he feels that day,

or how stressed he is from work, regardless of what happens to him,

Your villain is going to be the guy who always does

exactly what he wants to do.

So your villain's going to be the guy who goes to the gym

regardless of how he feels.

Your villain's gonna be the guy

who approaches every beautiful girl he ever sees

and says, "Hi, I really think you're beautiful."

goes over to him and talks to them.

Your villain is going to be the guy who asks for a raise at work.

Your villain's gonna be the guy who does everything he wants.

regardless of how he feels, regardless if he's not motivated or not, regardless if he's shy to talk to that girl or people are watching or his ankle hurts, he doesn't want to go to the gym, whatever.

or he thinks his boss is going to fire him. Your villain is that dude.

who does anything he wants to do.

So for this week you have to sit and you have to make a list of all the things

You'd sit there and say, if I did everything I want to do,

If I were to be the best version of myself possible, what would I do? Okay, well, I'd go to the gym every day. I'd get up at 6 a.m. and I'd go to the gym every day. You write that down.

I'd approach every beautiful girl I ever see and I'd introduce myself and try and get their Instagram or their number. You'd write that down. For example,

I'd start a side business even though I don't know anything about it. I'd learn how to make websites. My villain is the kind of guy who would sit there and he'd learn how to do it by himself. And he'd start his own online business. Write that down. My villain is the kind of guy who reads really important books. I say I don't have time.

But my enemy, this villain, he reads books, he finds time.

He doesn't watch TV ever. He doesn't waste time ever. He doesn't eat junk food. He reads books.

Writes it down.

and you have to make a list

Now this list at first should be easy for you.

but then you're gonna get to about seven or eight things, and you're gonna stop. No, this list needs to be 25 to 30 points long, minimum.

This guy you're building, your arch nemesis,

You have to write down every single quality about this guy.

What he does, he goes to the gym every day, 6 a.m.

He doesn't watch TV. He doesn't eat junk food.

He goes up to beautiful girls, etc, etc, etc. 25 or 30 points long.

because this is going to become your enemy for the next six weeks of training.

You want to become a hero, you need someone to battle against. This is who you're battling against. You're battling against a better version of yourself. A version of yourself that doesn't succumb to how he feels.

but does what he's supposed to do anyway.

So this is who your villain's gonna be.

And when you're writing down this list,

all the qualities your villain has.

Imagine what this person looks like.

You have to put genuine effort into this.

You have to imagine what he looks like, imagine how he walks, imagine how he talks, imagine what people think when they see him.

Imagine how different you would be if you had been going to the gym

every single day for an hour and a half, every single day.

for the last two, three, four years.

Imagine it.

Imagine how differently people would look at you. Imagine how differently females would treat you.

if you were a jack like that guy would be.

You have to sit and you have to put down all these qualities and then once the qualities are there, 25 or 30 minimum, then you have to imagine what kind of person this is. You have to imagine what he looks like, what he talks like, what he thinks like. Imagine how he views the world. Because this is who you're going to be battling against.

So you have to put genuine effort into constructing this person and understanding this person.

The reason I'm saying do this is because this is what motivates me every single day.

When I was training for a fight, the reason I'd always go train is because I knew my enemy was training.

But when I stopped fighting professionally, I thought, well,

What enemy do I have?

And I realized I had to create my own.

So,

when I don't feel like going to the gym,

I imagine

I've built my own enemy. I won't even list all the things that my enemy has. He has a whole bunch of shit I don't have.

and he would be a nearly impossible person to be.

But when I sit and I don't feel like going to the gym, I know my enemy's training because he trains no matter what, regardless of how he feels, regardless of he's pissed off or if there's traffic or it's raining or he's tired. My enemy trains.

When I see a girl and she's beautiful but all her friends are there, I'm afraid they're going to laugh at me. My enemy wouldn't give a fuck. He'd go over there anyway.

That's who he is. He's the man.

So,

When I understood who I was truly battling against, then you have two choices. You either rise up to try and take him on or you become a little pussy.

You have the choice. Do I want to lose to this man, this man I've created,

and I've built, do I want to lose to him or do I want to beat him or compete with him?

And you have to make a choice and you sit there and go, well, I know that the person I created in my mind, my arch nemesis would go over there and he'd talk to all the girls.

I need to fuck two of them.

let alone one.

This is an extremely important facet and for the next six weeks we're going to be doing lots of things that are going to revert back to

the enemy that you've created. So you have to put genuine effort into putting together this person. You have to imagine everything about them.

from start to finish, you have to imagine standing next to them.

If you were standing next to this guy right now with no shirt on,

Who would girls want to fuck?

Who would people respect?

And the crazy thing about all of this

is that this person is you.

This person is you. It's just you with a little bit.

of a different path or a different take on life. It's you who's the person who does whatever he's supposed to do regardless of how he feels. It's you with an iron mind.

This is the exact point of it.

The reason creating this enemy is so important and the reason

viewing him and seeing how he sees the world and understanding how important and powerful this person is.

is important is because that person is you.

That person is you who does what he's supposed to do without fail.

That's all it is.

And when you truly, truly put this person together and you truly, truly understand him,

and you find out what you could be, and you find out what you're battling against.

you're going to become

far more difficult to demotivate.

It's going to be much harder for someone to say to you, don't go to the gym, because you're going to know.

Well, my enemy, this guy,

Give them a name.

whatever.

This dude's going to the gym.

That's why he looks how he looks.

And that's who I'm being compared to.

So I have to go to the gym.

"Oh yeah, but you know, I'm tired." Well, you don't go then. My training partner doesn't wanna go. Fine, you don't go, I am going.

I'm not the guy who's going to let this man beat me.

And you have to start comparing yourself to this guy.

in every single facet.

I still do it to this day. I compare my bank balance to this guy's and he's killing me.

I compare my body to this guy's. He's killing me.

I compare so many things about myself. You guys may look at me and go, "Oh, Tate, millionaire, girls, this, that, that." I'm still comparing myself to this person I've created.

And I know that I'm losing.

And that's what drives me forward. That's why I don't miss the gym.

That's how I find a way to make money.

That's how I do whatever it takes to succeed because I know who I'm battling against.

Most of you guys have no enemy.

You have no enemy, or you have an enemy which is somebody else.

You're looking at Justin Bieber or Drake or some shit.

That's not going to motivate you. That's pointless.

It's not going to help you.

or you have no enemy at all, you have a support structure around you and you have people saying, "Oh, you're great just the way you are, you know, you're beautiful just the way you are," and you're sitting there and living in your little comfort zone like a little bitch.

Bullshit.

put this enemy together

from start to finish

Feel free to email me the list.

Email me the list. I'll see if there's anything you've missed out.

My email address is at the bottom of the screen. Feel free to email me your list. I'll compare it to my list.

and we'll see if there's anything you missed out. But this is going to be the most important thing across the next six weeks we're going to keep referring back to.

And when you truly put this list together, you truly create this person and truly understand that it could be you.

it's going to be far more difficult to stop you doing what you need to do in the future.
