“I’m so lonely...”

“Locking in” is a trending term, and a basic definition is just sitting down and doing the work required for you to see success.

I respect it, although that’s just normal for me.

Constant state of “locked in’edness”.

Now, I could tell you all the ways you achieve this state, the benefits, and the outcomes…

But what I’ll tell you today is the cons of such a thing, which not too many people talk about - probably because if they stopped they’d lose the engagement that motivational content brings.

(Also, I don’t why people try to motivate customers, they’re just making it harder for themselves - they should just be targeting motivated people, they’d see a lot more success with a slight shift in marketing albeit with less views, but that’s a fancy showcase number, not a tangible result like cash)

Anyway, here’s a few disadvantages that come from locking in, and how they are actually an advantage:

1. You’re on a different plane of existence to others

Whether it be friends, family, business partners, your network…

Often times you’ll find you’re the only one pushing through the annoying shit persuing the promised gold on the other side. This means you’re on your own, no backup.

Personally, I see this as an advantage as I’m not disturbed or pulled away from my money making schemes and can dedicate hours on end each day to advancing my business, and then my bank account.

Loneliness is just an abstract concept made up as an excuse for people to feel sorry for themselves (most of the time); learn to get comfortable with yourself and you’re never truly lonely + you get insane focus towards whatever task you’re doing.

2. It’s boring as shit

Don’t even lie, working is boring. 

People don’t want to focus solely on work because they find it boring, and I’d agree; it can be monotonous, soul-crushing, deprived of any emotion, etc.

However, this does come with insane payoffs which actually make everything fun, or atleast make it seem like your months of slaving away were in fact monumental.

The payoff? All that work results in some tangible benefit. Usually an invoice being paid, but sometimes it’s as simple as virtually meeting a millionaire course seller who you now work for.

Without those boring periods of time, achievements would seem miniscule and life would be boring 24/7 - no matter the pain or the joy - I think 50 Cent said it best in his hit song, many men:

“Sunny days wouldn't be special if it wasn't for rain, Joy wouldn't feel so good if it wasn't for pain”

3. You become a robot

Hustle, gym, sleep, hustle, gym, sleep…

I ain’t gonna lie, you do turn into a robot; not one manufactured by the education system or corporate left wing ideology…

An actual successful one (in due time).

Becoming a robot just means you're focused on the task at hand, like Terminator. Meaning? Even more progress towards your goal.

I must stress, do not become some incel basement dweller, simply adapt your current state into one that is more productive.

More:

Recently I have been fully locked in on one specific task, which leads to one specific goal, and this is outside the realm of backup since my circle is quite busy or occupied with other things right now.

However, my ego is bigger than ever; it’s going to be funny as shit when they realize what I’m doing and the results I’m pulling in.

But right now?

They think I am unstable… But I will become a victim of my own success (for the 2nd time).
