"Hey friends, if you want to achieve 12 months' worth of goals in just 12 weeks" means you thought you would achieve all your goals in this entire year” Or whatever goals you had thought of last year” "If you want to know that you can accomplish all those things in just 12 weeks." "You can do it by..." "I'll be telling you the same in today's video." "Today's video is going to be really awesome and powerful."
"Here, we will redefine the entire year." "You can turn one year into four years." "If you learn from today's video, then I just request you because..." "I'm giving away all this information for free, so please don't devalue it." "This same knowledge is sold in courses, people earn’s millions of rupees." "I'm giving it away for free here, please appreciate its value." "Be sure to watch the video until the end."
"And keep learning about such amazing books for free." "Subscribe to the Seeken channel so that Seeken can become one of India's top channels." for that "I will need your help for that. Just do that." Now, let’s start "Ramesh was very sad when he was leaving his office." "Today, he didn't even say bye to anyone." "And this thing was a little strange." "Usually, the Ramesh who was there, he was a very cheerful type of boy."
"He always used to laugh and joke around." "He used to talk to everyone." "Today something felt off." "At that moment, Abhishek, who was his somewhat good friend..." "He went outside with him and asked, 'What happened, bro?'" "Everything's fine, buddy. I'm not understanding something. What should I do?" "Will you tell me?" "Bro, the house I was living in, its rent suddenly..." "Increased a lot, and he has given me only four months' time."
"If I don't increase the rent, he has warned me to vacate the house." "To be honest, we don't have that much money." "Even combining my father's income, it won't be enough." "Plus, there's a lot of problems with the EMI loan, and I'm not sure what to do?" "Don't worry, everything will be fine." "Something or the other will surely work out, keep up your courage." "After this, he leaves." "At night, Ramesh tries to sleep."
"He tosses and turns restlessly." "He is unable to sleep." "Because of tension." "At 2:00 a.m., Abhishek's call comes." "He excitedly tells Ramesh. "Do you know what just happened?" "I was watching a video on YouTube just now." "Then I got a recommendation for a video related to you." "It was explained in the video." "How a person can achieve their one-year goals in 12 weeks was explained in the video."
"Meaning, in three months, and as soon as I saw this recommendation, I felt like, 'buddy...'" "Your problem could have a solution." "So, I watched that video very carefully and trust me. "It felt like a very powerful video, buddy." yes "I know you're not interested in books, self-help, and all these things." "But reading about books..." "I have brought a lot of changes in my life, and I recommend that you also read this book."
"At that, Ramesh, confused, says, 'Buddy, what's the meaning of this book even at this late hour?'" "I'm not understanding anything." "What are you saying? Don't worry." "I have learned all the things." "I'll come tomorrow and explain it to you properly. Alright?" "Now, the next day, Abhishek, "He goes to Ramesh with some notes in his hand and tells him." "The video I watched yesterday, buddy, it's very powerful, and I think..."
"You have four months, and it was explained in the video how to do it in three months." "I found the talks very powerful and practically, he can achieve his goals." "So, you take this matter seriously, alright? Now, come on, tell me what's going on." "The video I watched is about a very amazing book." "The book is called 'The 12 Week Year'." "What is 'The 12 Week Year'? Brother, that's exactly what I've come to tell you."
"There are many amazing things in that book that he will guide you through step by step "I'm going to explain through these notes." "So, understand those things well, and I'm sure your problem will be solved." "Alright then, tell me, what have you learned from books? "What I learned from the video I watched yesterday is..." "The goals that are set for 12 months can be achieved in just 12 weeks." the entire main concept of this book is that years that we have in total "We can divide the one with 12 months into 12 weeks.
"Meaning three, one year of months." "Now let's start thinking like this." "And when you start thinking like this, it becomes very powerful." "In this book, the author explains the concept of periodization." "They say." "Many times, professional athletes focus on one skill at a time for 4 to 6." weeks and then focus on other skills. "Similarly, many times there are big businesses too." "In them, it is also seen that people do not achieve as much work throughout the year," "as they achieve in the last three months."
"And you must have noticed this thing too, Ramesh, when we are also in school or college." "They used to get projects and those people used to waste the whole month." "But in the last few weeks or days, they would finish all the work." "Yeah, buddy, that's true. That's what happened." "Well, that's exactly what the author of the book 'The 12 Week Year' is trying to explain." "The author says that if we turn 12 months into just 12 weeks of a year..."
"Then it will be very powerful." "There are three specific things. The first thing is..." “Greater predictability." Ramesh, you must have noticed "When we have to make some plans, we think that in the next three to four months..." "If we are going to Goa, then that plan is not as successful." "If we make such a sudden plan that we will go to Goa next week.. "So many times, it happens that the plan for next week becomes successful."
"With me, this has happened many times." "It must have happened with you too, equally, yes yes, it has happened to me too." "That's the same thing." "When we turn 12 weeks into a year, predictability increases here." "Because we try to organize things in less time." "So, the second benefit is increased focus because we have less time." "Our focus increases because we have to finish the work in such a short time."
"And thirdly, here we get an enhanced structure." "We get a specific structure, based on which we can work." "A year can often be quite a long time." "To work by focusing." "But the 12 weeks, you know, that's a really sweet spot." "This is neither too less nor too much, "To create a good plan" "To apply this powerful concept correctly and achieve results" "The author explains in the book, which I also learned in the video."
"That we need to understand its execution system." "What does execution system mean?" "Look, in the execution system..." "Three principals come, and five disciplines of execution come." "If we do step by step, then for sure." we’ll any of our "If we achieve the goal of 12 months in 12 weeks, then I'll tell you the same. Alright?" "Alright, why wait? Yes, yes, buddy, tell me." "So first, we come to the three principles."
"The first principle before the three principles is the one that is very important. "If you wants your goals to be achieved in 12 weeks." "Earning money or whatever you are thinking." "The first thing you needs is accountability." "The rent for the house has increased. Now, after this happens, you have two options." "Either curse the landlord for raising the rent or question the higher power why this happens to me."
"Blame the whole world or go for the next option." "Take accountability for that thing, that what had to happen has happened." "Now what can I do about it?" "I will focus on that thing." "Most people, when something bad happens with people." "So people start blaming others instead of taking responsibility straight away." "That guy, the owner, is such a jerk, so bad." "The world is getting worse with the increasing money."
"This is where the accountability should be taken." "How they can resolve that issue." "The first thing you had to do if you want your goals in 12 weeks." "Once it's completed, the first thing to do is to take your accountability. Alright, brother done. "After taking accountability as the first step, the second thing..." "The second principle would require focusing on, which is to have commitment."
"A promise that you make to yourself." now on this "A very good story was told in the video." "In the author's case, the author himself made a very good commitment." "The first year of college was going on." "The summer holidays were going on when the author went home." "And there, he was talking to his dad." "During the conversation, it became evident that he was discussing the author's marks with his dad."
"They were very unhappy because the author's name appeared on the dean's list." "The dean had two lists." "One was the list of good people, and the other was of academic probation students." "It means those who were not performing well, and Author's name was in that list." "The Author's father was feeling very bad about this." "Because they were depositing fees for them with a lot of hard work." "The tuition fees there are very high, so they work very hard there."
"They were paying the tuition fees." but when he saw his son "He is not putting effort into that thing and is bringing bad marks." "So they were very sad about that thing, and their father just said it straight." "Son, if you want me to keep paying your fees, which are very high, then..." "You'll have to improve your results, otherwise..." i will not pay your fees author felt very bad about this "They realized that yes, in a way, what their father said was right too."
"That's why he made the promise." "They committed to themselves that they would return to school and achieve an A in every subject." "Plus, seeing his enthusiasm, his dad made a commitment as well." "They said if you get an A in every subject, I'll give you $500." "And if you don't get them, you'll have to give me $500." "Due to this, their commitment level had become stronger." "After that, when they went to school, he didn't get distracted neither from here, nor from there."
he went to his class "They took notes, attended lectures, and studied diligently." "And guess what, he scored an 'A' in all subjects." that day he realized it’s not about winning $500 "It was about their commitment that once a person commits wholeheartedly..." "So then achieving anything for him wasn't as difficult as it used to be before." "They also share a very interesting quote about it "When you are interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstances permit. but when you are committed to do something you accept no excuses, only results."
"Now commit to it by doing the other thing." "You will change your life no matter what in the coming three months." change "You will do whatever it takes to earn extra income." "Yes, buddy, that's absolutely right, and I am fully committed." "I will do some extra freelance work in the next three months." will do freelancing "But I will definitely earn more money." "After this comes the third principle."
“Greatness in the moment.” "You must have heard about Michael Phelps "Yeah, the one who won 18 gold medals and Olympic championships." Yes, you could say he is the best swimmer in the world "So, when do you think Michael Phelps became great?" "Most people would think that he became great then." "When he won 18 gold medals, silver medals, or all the Olympic medals." "At that time, he became great."
that’s not true The author in the book explains that Michael Phelps' moment of greatness was not then. It was not when he received the gold, but rather when he was putting in the effort. When he was doing his daily training. He was practicing for hours in the pool. He was eating at the right time. He did what was necessary instead of just doing what he felt like doing and that’s what called Greatness in the Moment And the gold medal was just one piece of evidence that yes, he was great.
While he was already doing things that were considered great. And this is the thing you should also understand. What results will be obtained after three months? It depends on what execution he is doing on a daily basis. And the daily choices you make, the actions you take, that's what will make you great. Once you've become great, the results will surely follow. Yes, all these things must have strengthened your mentality.
Now let's talk about actual execution, what needs to be done, Greatness To achieve how it's done, one must follow the five disciplines of execution. yes, brother Now, quickly tell me what action I can take. What action? I need to take steps step by step. For that, the first thing you need to do is to clarify your vision. what vision basically is A clear picture of the future, which you are envisioning today.
And while creating the vision, you'll need to establish three time horizons. The first horizon is “Long Term Aspiration”. Here, Ramesh, you start thinking for yourself whether it's five, ten, or How do you want to look after 15 years, so which car will you buy? what work you will be doing Try to create a vision of how you want to see yourself in 10 to 15 years. That's your. Long-term vision. "Then come mid-term goals, now mid-term goals, usually are those."
"What you want to achieve in the coming years." "And there can be many goals in this, could be related to your relationships." could be "Family, health, spiritual, or business-related." after this, third comes Short- term Goals, which are the most important "For our discussion, it's our 12-week goals." "Create a vision for yourself of how you want to see yourself after three months." So tell me, what do you want to achieve in 12 weeks?
buddy, in 12 weeks It would be great fun if I could start earning lakhs of rupees somehow. "How many lakhs?" "Tell me straight, if I earn 5 lakhs." "In the coming three months, meaning within 12 weeks, this would be a big deal for me." Alright, after that, let's move on to step number two, which is planning. why do we have to plan? Because many times we create a vision that we want to achieve, this and that such vision doesn’t have the clarity, and until our vision is clear we won’t be able to take action The second thing that needs to be done is to clarify To achieve your top priority tasks within those 12 weeks, it's important to align them with the goal of fulfilling the vision set for that period.
And for that, you need to think about what things you want to achieve after 12 weeks. And what tactics will you use to achieve that goal? now what does tactic means? tactic’s are those Those are the specific actions that will help you accomplish your goals Now, while doing this, you need to keep a few things in mind Like setting 1 to 3 goals for the next 12 weeks, no more than that. Doing more than that in 12 weeks isn't wise.
The important point after that was what I learned from the video. That you have to achieve your goals in 12 weeks. You'll have to put some strong emotional reasons behind it. In your case, it's quite easy. You need to increase your own earnings, perhaps by earning the rent for your own home. or you want to buy yourself a new house The third thing you need to determine here. High-value weekly tactics, daily actions, which you need to take for your goals.
Then you also need to define which tasks to work on in which weeks. You'll need to create a small backup plan B in case things don't go as expected. How will you face the challenge when it arises? do it in short you might see some boxes over here In these boxes, you need to jot down your tactics, actions, and weekly dues. Write down which tasks you want to finish by which week, and plan accordingly.
This completes the second step, now let's move on to the third step, which is process control. to have a vision having a plan It's not just important to achieve the goal, but also what else is needed along with it. and that is will power or consistent set of tools and events, Setting this up will help us in our weekly work. Now there are some tools that will help you with this, the first tool being...
weekly plan A plan for 12 weeks must have been made. that’s ok Now you'll have to start making a weekly plan so that you know. what all you have to do on a daily basis Now you don't have to make a to-do list here. You also don't have to do urgent things. Here, you only need to strategically perform those activities. You need to prioritize tasks that align with your goals for the next 12 weeks. "Help in achieving" The first tool is done, and the second tool is your support group.
meaning, you You'll need to find individuals with whom you can be accountable weekly. As for you, I'm here, or you can find other people too. The people you can have weekly meetings with, where the purpose won't be just that. That we hold each other accountable or speak ill of each other. That you didn't do this, the purpose will be just to share. Be able to give accountability that how much work we are doing.
or not doing This is the third step. Now let's move on to the 4th step, which is Measurement Whatever goals you want to achieve, whatever tasks you're writing down and working on, It's important to receive feedback on those to know if we're doing the right work or not. "Is it in the right direction or not?" "For that, you'll need to measure things and for the measurement. "You need to measure two things."
one is Lag indicator and Lead indicator "This one is quite interesting, listen carefully what does LAG indicator' mean? "The actual goals and what are lead indicators?" "The actions you are taking to achieve those goals." "It means, for example, if your goal is to lose 10 kilograms, then that's your 10 kilograms." "When you've reduced one kilogram, that's your lag indicator." "But the lead indicator will be what you do to achieve that 10-kilogram reduction."
what action you’re taking "How much food you're consuming daily, how many calories you're consuming." "How many times are you going to the gym in a week?" this is your Lead indicator "Now, the interesting thing here is the lag indicator." As the name suggests, lag indicators take some time to show results. It means if you follow your diet and go to the gym today, you won't lose one kilogram today.
After some time, you will see results once the lag has passed. Here, people often make mistakes. People often start measuring the lag indicator. "Bro, I've been eating and drinking so much for the past couple of days." "My weight still hasn't decreased by one or two kilos." This often demotivates them, and many times they fail to achieve their goals. While what you need to do is to observe both, you need to understand.
The lag indicator The lag indicator will come after some time, but is the lead indicator working for you or not? Meaning, are you sticking to your diet every day or not? Are you going to the gym four to five days a week, or not? As much as you keep these two in mind The more you keep measuring, the more chances you have. You'll achieve your one-year goal in 12 weeks. Here's an important thing. The lesson I found here is, for example, if you want to lose weight.
And to lose weight, you need to understand four things. Creating a diet plan, eating a healthy diet, going to the gym, and cycling. Out of those, you're only doing three tasks. So, your execution score daily is at 75 percent. While author say that if you really want to see results, you need to aim for an 85 percent execution score. You should aim to keep your score above that, and if you do, you'll surely succeed.
No one can stop you from achieving your goals. The fourth step is done, and now comes the last step. The last step is Time use, now all your things are planned. Measurement has also started But on a daily basis, we need to focus on what thing. That is how we are using our time, and for this, the author. You are told to create three blocks in a day. what are the 3 blocks The first is the strategic block where you should dedicate at least three hours every day.
To do an important task. Then comes the buffer block. Here, you should allocate 30 minutes to two hours. Where you're engaging in valuable activities. Like having meetings or going shopping, for example. Or other tasks that don't require as much mental effort. You need to set aside 30 minutes to two hours daily, and then the last, third important step is... The third one is the breakout block, you should allocate at least three hours for it every day.
Where you don't do any work, you just relax. It gives your brain and yourself a rest. Abhishek also provides Ramesh with a chart of "control of your day." He explains that it covers your entire day from start to finish. In this, you need to start placing these blocks and allocate at least three hours for Your strategic block lisand the duration of 30 minutes to 2 hours should be for Low value activity block and 3 hours should be for Off work If you just start taking this thing seriously too.
So, trust me , this will be like a domino effect, causing one after another. All your small to big goals will start to be achieved. So you'll be able to manage things properly You'll be able to measure your goals, control your process. He will be able to take action by clarifying and refining his plans At the end, you will be able to fulfill your vision. So, along with keeping this simple thing in mind, there is also an important thing.
this is very important thing Understanding this is very important for you, otherwise none of the other things will matter. "What's the matter? Please tell me that as well." The emotional cycle of change "Whenever you go to take action after doing all these things "So, you will go through five phases." "Maximum people break through on phase three." "You don't have to do that." "Explain it properly. I'm not understanding it well."
"Look at this graph." "Maximum people go through these five phases. "And in the third phase, they break down, which is called the 'valley of despair'." "What that phase is, I'll explain one by one. Look." "Phase one is uninformed optimism." "Look, once you've decided you want to earn 500,000." "So, in three months, you'll do that thing however you can, and you'll plan for that." You will do all these things."
"You will have optimism that yes, all this will happen." The optimism will be uninformed, much like many times. We think, "Hey, this year I'll definitely go to the gym and go every day." I will definitely go six days a week. It means they are very optimistic that they will do it. Then those people come to the second phase when they actually start going to the gym. Then comes informed pessimism, when they actually understand that, "Dude, As much as they thought losing weight would be easy, going to the gym would be easy, it’s not that easy They realize that going to the gym daily requires a lot of hard work.
How much time it takes, how much energy it consumes After that, when people realize. So they reach the third phase, which is the Valley of Despair. going daily starts becoming difficult for them. Their benefit, meaning the weight loss benefit, It seems far too distant in comparison to the pain. They feel that pain is a very dangerous thing. They start trying to avoid pain somewhere along the way.
As a result, they tend to stop going to the gym. Now, here's where the valley of despair becomes the whole game. Those who quit here won't achieve anything. If you want your vision to come true So you shouldn't give up here. Here, you need to bring discipline and stay consistent. Staying here for some time is also essential. Ideally, automatically it will reach the phase after some time, which is...
Informed Optimism Now look, you know all the negatives. Going to the gym, doing all this. You've accepted all those things that yes, this will happen. But still, I will go, then you will come back to informed optimism Then the positivity that will come will be not be the same It won't be the same; instead, it will be very powerful positivity And if you've also survived some time here, then you'll definitely succeed for sure.
success and fulfillment And this is the same thing that happens with many people who initially think of going to the gym. They are very optimistic. But then as they start going to the gym, the pain starts. Reality hits that it's not as easy as it seemed. Then they enter the valley of despair. They feel it's too painful and give up. Here are the people who are... Even then, those who persist reach the stage of informed optimism.
So much hard work will be required, dieting will have to be done, and then surely... Their weight also decreases, and they become healthy too. Look, if you ensure to do these things properly... So, I have very high hopes that you will achieve your goals. Listening to all these things, Ramesh feels motivated. The things you've said are honestly very true, buddy. Where did you learn all these things?
"Seeken" is the name of a channel where they frequently post videos on book summaries. Book summaries can be very powerful; I've also learned a lot of things from them myself. And I've brought improvement in my life. I would recommend you as well. It's interesting to keep subscribing to that channel and keep watching. "I'll read this book too." "Ramesh orders the book, reads it, and for the next 12 weeks, he dives into action."
works in the office "Alongside, he creates a good plan." "He creates a vision based on the freelance work he used to do in the office." "He starts doing slightly varied tasks in freelancing." "And as time passes, he starts acquiring good clients." and guess what? "Within four months, he doesn't earn just 5 lakhs, but earns ₹8 lakhs." "The authority to leave the house was obtained by having a good conversation with the owner."
"If he had taken it, he would have negotiated and cracked the deal at a cheaper price." Plus "Now his vision is to double his revenue in the next 12 weeks." "It means starting to work towards earning 16 to 20 lakh rupees." "If you trust me, and apply all these things I've told you, 100 percent, into actuality." "If you start applying, you will complete big visions." "If you want Abhishek's notes in a PDF format, I can help you with that."
"If you want it to be in a format, you don't need to do much more." "A link is provided in the description, we have a book club." "Where we continuously share such discussions about books for free." "You click on that link and join our book club." "From there, you can download the free PDF, and I hope you enjoy this video." Today's video will be useful and enjoyable. If you have more books in your mind You want me to create summaries of those books in the same way.
If you want me to explain the same way in story format, then make sure to let me know by commenting. Today's video was just this much, but according to YouTube You should watch this video. The YouTube algorithm believes that if you watch this video. it will benefit you more So, try watching that video there once as well. that’s all for now, see you “bye bye”.
