III. Eliminate Distractions

One of the main objectives of Monk Mode is to eliminate

distractions and negative in uences.

This may include:

STEP 2: THE ROADMAP
Introduction

By following the principles outlined in this chapter, you'll be well on

your way to transforming your life and creating your dream life.

Why Vision and Goal Setting Matter

Having a clear vision of your desired future and setting SMART

goals are crucial for personal growth and success. A well-de ned
vision serves as a guiding light, helping you stay focused and
motivated as you work towards your goals. SMART goals, on the
other hand, provide a roadmap to success, breaking down your
vision into actionable steps.

10
fi
 Crafting Your Vision

The rst step in creating a compelling vision is to imagine your

ideal life. Consider the following aspects:

Personal growth: What skills and qualities do you want to develop?

How do you want to grow as a person?

Relationships: What kind of relationships do you want to have with

friends, family, and romantic partners?

Ownership: What kind of work do you want to do? What impact do

you want to make in your family? What are you passionate about?

Lifestyle: How do you want to live your day-to-day life? What kind
of environment do you want to live in?

Health: How do you want to feel physically and mentally? What

habits and routines do you want to establish to support your well-
being?

11
fi
Once you've thought about these aspects, create a vivid mental
image of your ideal life. Write it down, draw it, or create a vision
board to help you visualize your desired future.

Setting SMART Goals

Now that you have a clear vision of your ideal life, it's time to set
SMART goals to help you achieve it. SMART goals are:

Speci c: Clearly de ne what you want to accomplish.

Measurable: Set goals that can be quanti ed or tracked.
Attainable: Ensure your goals are realistic and achievable.
Relevant: Make sure your goals align with your overall vision
Time-bound: Set a deadline for achieving your goals.

12
fi
fi
fi
To set SMART goals, follow these steps:

Break down your vision into smaller goals: Divide your vision into
smaller, more manageable goals that you can work on one at a
time.

Make your goals speci c: Clearly de ne what you want to achieve

and how you'll know when you've accomplished it.

Make your goals measurable: Set goals that can be quanti ed or

tracked, so you can measure your progress and stay motivated.

Ensure your goals are attainable: Set realistic goals that you can
achieve with the resources and skills you have at your disposal.

Make your goals relevant: Align your goals with your overall vision
and values to ensure they are meaningful and motivating.

Set a deadline: Assign a deadline for each of your goals to create a

sense of urgency and keep you on track.

13
fi
fi
fi
Tracking Your Progress and Staying Motivated

To stay on track and achieve your goals, it's essential to monitor

your progress and maintain motivation. Here are some tips to help
you stay the course:

Track your progress: Keep a journal or use an app to track your

progress and celebrate your achievements.

Stay accountable: Share your goals with like-minded people who

can reciprocate the energy you feel about your goals— most people
won’t be able to relate (yes, even your mom & pops won’t
understand until the cash is in your hands). Journaling xes this
self-absorbed reason to tell everyone.

Stay motivated: Stay motivated by regularly revisiting your vision

and reminding yourself of the bene ts of achieving your goals.

14
fi
fi
 Be exible: Be prepared to adapt your goals as needed. Life can be
unpredictable, and you may need to adjust your goals or timeline to
accommodate unexpected events.

Learn from setbacks: Don't be discouraged by setbacks or failures.

Instead, view them as learning opportunities and use them to re ne
your approach and improve your chances of success.

Conclusion

Without a clear vision, your daily life will be a fucking mess.

 STEP 3: FINANCIAL LITERACY
Introduction

This is for the men who want to end up on a painting in their

grandchildren’s family room. The men who want to become a name
worth remembering, not a statistic. The visionaries.

Understanding Financial Literacy

Financial literacy is the ability to understand and make informed

decisions about your personal nances. It involves understanding
key nancial concepts, such as budgeting, saving, investing, and
managing debt. Mastering nancial literacy is crucial for achieving
nancial stability and building long-term wealth.

16
fi
fi
fi
fi
Key Principles of Financial Literacy

Budgeting: Creating a budget is the foundation of nancial literacy.

A budget helps you track your income and expenses, ensuring that
you live within your means and avoid unnecessary debt.

Saving: Saving money is essential for achieving nancial goals,

such as building an emergency fund, saving for a down payment
on a home, or planning for retirement.

Investing: Investing allows you to grow your wealth over time by

putting your money to work in the nancial markets.
Understanding the basics of investing, such as risk, diversi cation,
and asset allocation, is essential for long-term success.

Managing Debt: Managing debt is a critical component of nancial

literacy. Understanding the difference between good and bad debt,
and developing a strategy for paying off high-interest debt, can
help you achieve nancial freedom.

 Building Wealth: Strategies and Tips

Set clear nancial goals: De ne your short-term and long-term

nancial goals and create a plan to achieve them. Personal
budgeting will lower stress and prevent you from spending too
much money on Uber eats and coming up short on rent or your
overpriced AMG with 100k miles on it.

Live within your means: Avoid overspending and unnecessary debt

by living within your means and sticking to your budget.

Save and invest regularly: Make saving and investing a habit by

setting aside a portion of your income each month and investing it
in a diversi ed portfolio. Note: simply saving is NOT enough to
accrue and exponentially grow your money. You need to utilize your
money to WORK FOR YOU.

Minimize taxes: Take advantage of tax-advantaged investment

accounts, such as 401(k)s and IRAs, to minimize your tax liability
and maximize your savings.

18
fi
fi
fi
fi
Monitor your credit score: A good credit score can help you access
lower interest rates on loans and credit cards, saving you money
over time. Also, banks will be more willing to share their money
with you for a business start-up. More importantly, a business you
can start building now (without their money) and scale up once
you’ve found something you LOVE to do.

Protect your assets: Ensure that you have adequate insurance

coverage to protect your assets and your family's nancial well-
being.

Stay informed: Stay up-to-date on nancial news and trends, and

be willing to adapt your nancial strategies as needed.

Real Estate Investment Basics

Real estate can be a lucrative investment, but it's important to

understand the various types of real estate investments and their
pros and cons. Residential, commercial, and real estate investment

19
fi
fi
fi
trusts (REITs) are the most common types of real estate
investments. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, so
it's essential to research and understand the risks involved before
investing.

Strategies for Successful Real Estate Investing

To be successful in real estate investing, you should develop a

strategy that aligns with your nancial goals and risk tolerance.
This may include researching the local market, building a strong
team, and creating a long-term plan.

Avoiding Common Financial Pitfalls

Debt management and credit building are crucial for nancial

success. This includes making on-time payments, keeping your
credit utilization low, and regularly checking your credit report.

20
fi
fi
 Overspending and impulse buying can derail your nancial goals.
To avoid these pitfalls, create a budget and stick to it, avoid making
emotional purchases, and practice mindful spending.

The Importance of Financial Education and Continuous Learning

Staying informed and up-to-date on nancial topics is crucial for
building and preserving wealth. There are numerous resources
available to help you learn about personal nance and wealth
building, including books, courses, and podcasts. Take advantage
of these resources to expand your knowledge and improve your
nancial decision-making.

Conclusion

In this chapter, we explored the key principles of nancial literacy

and wealth building without the use of social media or trading. By
following the advice in this chapter and committing to continuous
learning, you'll be well on your way to achieving nancial freedom
and building long-term wealth. Remember to stay focused on your

Enhancing Physical and Mental Health

personal development and skill building. A healthy body and mind
will enable you to perform at your best and achieve male
excellence.

Here are some ways to enhance your physical and mental health:

calisthenics. 100 pushups — 25 / 25 / 25 / 25 split with variations:
normal, close-grip, wide grip, and decline pushups. 100 sit-ups.

- You could purchase a boxing bag like I did, but you need to
either buy a full setup with the stand, or a very structurally sound
platform to hang the bag on. Lastly, you could buy a standing
boxing dummy that only requires water or sand at the bottom to
keep it in place.

Balanced diet: Stop eating processed foods. Eat more red meat.
More eggs. No more chips, soda, or weed brownies. You’re
poisoning your body. You only get one bro.

Stress management: Developing strategies to manage stress and

maintain mental well-being, such as mindfulness, meditation, and
relaxation techniques.

Sleep: Get 6 hours of sleep. You don’t need 8 because you’re going
to be actually passionate about your daily life. You will be springing

27
out of bed like I do every morning. As previously mentioned, this is
about creating a life you actually WANT to live.

prepared to pursue personal development and skill building, and

and organizations related to your eld, to learn from others and
stay up-to-date on industry developments.

Attend workshops and seminars: Participate in educational events

to learn new skills and connect with like-minded individuals. These
people will be your REAL friends. Not your broke homie down the
block who smokes a blunt with you or goes partying with you.

By building a strong support network, you will be better equipped

to pursue personal development and skill building, and ultimately
achieve male excellence and nancial freedom.

Conclusion

The purpose of this step is to prepare you to be self-suf cient.
