Your finances are thriving, you're in the best physical shape of your life, and you 're surrounded by people who encourage you to be even better. That's why in today's video I'm going to give you the five steps that transformed my life And the first step is silence. We have to start the year by eliminating something that's killing your potential: noise. You wake up and are immediately bombarded with a lot of opinions from various people about your life. This year, 2025, I invite you to be different. I invite you to trust your intuition. You know why? Because the highest- paid talent in the world today is creativity. Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk—literally all the richest and most famous people in the world reached that level because of their creativity. I killing my creativity, Daniel? I'll tell you how I used to spent hours on my cell phone. Browsing Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, I kept comparing there, thinking, "My God, my life will never be this good!" "Ah, Daniel, you're going to say that stopping social media revived your creativity!" No, I still use the internet, but I've added a daily habit to my routine: silence. Absolute silence, two hours of silence, actually. And that's called mental exercise. Your mind is the most powerful weapon in the world, and do you know why silence is so important to it? In 2013, biologist Inkkirs was studying the effects of sound on the brains of rats. Her results were impressive: the presence of sounds doesn't impact the brains of rats, but the absence of sound positively impacts them. Rats that experience two hours of absolute silence a day show hippocampus, an area of ​​the mind responsible for memory and activity. So the study came about because silence is so important to our brains. Because our brains have a need to hear nothing. So when you expose your mind to absolute silence for a few hours... Every day, and repeating this pattern consistently will renew your memory, your learning, your creativity, and your productivity. In other words, the productivity. In other words, the rule for 2025 is a bath of silence, and it has to be every day. It's the repetition that will bring you results; it's like a mental gym, you know, where success is conditioned by daily and results right away. Then, over time, when you stack repetitions, the results appear. In the morning, set aside an hour for your day without your phone, without messages, without any interference in your head. "Ah, Daniel, but I don't know what to do!" In these hours of silence, start by answering a very important question: where do you want your life to go? And that's the second piece of advice transform your life in 2025. These are some of the notes I made last week; they all relate to products that are selling well, biblical texts that I researched because when my mind doesn't want to do anything, I force it to study. This one has few notes—oh, mathematical calculations I did on population density—and in fact, everything I study and find important, I write down on these sheets. It sales pitch, or a script to write, or that I'm inspired enough to do mathematical calculations on all this paper. But every time I stop completely in silence, my brain starts to exercise. And if you stop completely in silence, choosing your direction in life will be mandatory. First thing: answer what you want to fix in your life. When I started answering these questions, and I absolute silence, I realized that my life was a complete mess. And I wanted to solve everything at once. And I said, " How to solve a life that's a complete mess, Daniel?" Simple: you 're going to concentrate on doing only what you can control. If you can't control it, you won't think about it. You can't get in shape overnight, you can't have a successful business overnight, so you don't think about it. But you can walk 30 minutes a day, you can plan your expenses, and you can write down your priorities. What do I mean by writing down my priorities? I started doing that in 2019, and I... Back in 2019, I decided that my priority was to start my own business. My priority wasn't making money, no, not making R$ 1,000 a year. For that, I needed to earn R$8,300 a month, which was R$70 a day. Okay, so I started thinking about what I could do to earn R$300 a day. Only one thing came to mind: salesperson, what am I going to sell? So I started researching products I could sell without investing any money, and I found physical products that I sold and earned commission on each sale. From 2019 to 2023, my focus was solely on my online physical product sales business, and it worked. In 2023, I started earning over house, I bought my Ferrari, I bought the McLaren. And then in 2023, I decided that the YouTube channel. I started sharing the knowledge that got me to where I am today on but I started posting one video a week, then after a few months I was posting two a week, and after a year... I used to post a video every day, and from 2023 to 2024 I earned almost R$1.5 million just from YouTube monetization. In 2025, I want 4 million subscribers here on YouTube. If you're not subscribed yet, subscribe now! Because there are new videos every week, okay? And if goal and you're going to achieve it with me this year. Why? Because the next step relentless execution. This is where the magic happens because it will either work out very well people fail in this area because they wait too long, waiting for the right moment to start acting, and the moment never comes. And I'll tell you why it never comes: because the world around you is made for everyone to work against you. The standard behavior of human beings is that your relatives and friends want to see you do well, but never better than them. The problem here is that you sabotage yourself, you overthink, you believe you need more information, you believe you don't know enough, that you do n't have what it takes to succeed. Success has a secret, and I 'll tell you the secret to success. The secret is that you don't have what it takes to succeed in anything in your life; you'll achieve those things along the way. When I woke up, after hours of silence, when the alarm went off, I went to the gym. When I got back from the gym, I studied. "Oh, my website is awful, so I'm going to learn to make it better!" "Oh, my videos are terrible! I don't know how to narrate, so I'm going to learn to improve my voice!" "Oh, I don't know how to edit, so I'm going to learn to edit!" And even knowing I was terrible, I continued until the first video went viral. Even knowing it was almost impossible to lose 50 kg at the gym, I went, and I started losing weight. There came a point when everyone around me was saying, "Daniel's gone crazy!" But all the plans and goals I said I would knowledge you think you're lacking will only be learned after secret to success? You'll only learn it after you execute a lot. That 's the difference between those who dream and those who achieve. Successful people will continue executing the same thing every day, even if they see little progress. Or no progress, and that's the fourth point: consistency. One of the richest men in the world, Warren Buffett, said that working as an investor for 30 working as an investor for 30 years, all his results were the fruit of about a dozen good decisions. The rest is consistency. People think that success comes from unparalleled genius, from supernatural creativity, from a very big attitude in the right place at the right time that changes everything, and it's not like that. Success doesn't come from an attitude. Success is the sum of small, very annoying and unbearable habits that you repeat every day until you have great results. And the last point that will last point that will completely change your 2025 is the environment. To talk about the environment, let me ask you, have you ever heard the parable of the eagle and the hen? Imagine that an eagle's egg is placed in a hen's nest inside the henhouse. The hen won't notice the difference between the hen's egg and the eagle's egg, so she will incubate them all, but before they hatch. Let's think about habits and let's contextualize the difference between an eagle and a hen. The hen is a common animal; everyone has seen a hen scratch around, eat worms. It eats swill and it has wings, even though it has wings. If you roof, the chicken will flap its wings and not fly away. And the eagle is a rare animal; few people have seen or will ever see an eagle in their lives. It inhabits the mountains; it is a hunter. But the main difference between the eagle and the chicken is in their vision. What is the difference in the vision of the eagle and the chicken? If the chicken's eyes point to different places, the eagle's eyes are synchronized and point to the same place. The chicken can even see almost 360º; the eagle only sees 180º. But the eagle the chicken will never achieve: eagles have the gift of hunting. Now, going back, the little eagle was born along with the chickens. It will learn the habits of learn to eat corn, eat insects, eat swill. Since no one flies, the eagle will not learn to fly. But the eagle knows it is different when it sees its reflection; it sees that its appearance is different. And when it sees another eagle flying in the sky, it knows that it can fly too. But why doesn't it fly? The environment doesn't help. If you show this video to many people, they 'll say, "Oh, I've heard that before, it does n't work, that will never work for you." And those people are right because they're like the difference between the eyes of an eagle and a chicken: they don't have vision, they don't have the gift of hunting, they can't focus on a goal and pursue it until they achieve it. this video who have eagle vision and can do this; they just lack the right environment or people who have the same purpose and the same goal as you. The five steps to making 2025 the best year of your life are: silence, direction, execution, consistency, and environment. Your attention. Thank you very much, and don't forget that every week I'll be here to keep you company and help you change your environment. Until the help you change your environment. Until the next video.
