Five and a half years ago , I made that decision . I questioned my beliefs around alcohol and I decided do you know what ? I am putting this behind of me . I'm never looking back and it's been the best thing that I've ever done , and I would love to share that gift review as well . So let's dive into it Now .

Speaker 0

The very first reason is that the world is becoming so much more competitive . Listen , I wasn't alive 50 years ago , maybe . 50 years ago , you didn't need to read books , you didn't need to learn , you didn't need to do self development and you could have a great life . You could buy a house , you could learn a trade and , you know , build a family with not that much money . But the world's a very different place today . I remember when I got started into entrepreneurship , I was inspired by a 16 year old kid , a 16 year old that was making more money than me . He was performing at a much higher level than me and I was in my mid 20s . I've met 20 year olds that make a million dollars a month . I mean at 20 years of age like how is that possible ? And this is the thing we're competing in the world at the moment against maniacs . The world is becoming so much more competitive , and I say that , that maniac phrase . I'll tell you this , this quick story . My friend has been rebuilding his website and he's written 100,000 words . And he said his goal was for his competitor to get to his website , to go on it . See this 100,000 word website with all of these guides on how to lift weights . And he said I can envision them getting to the website and going white , just being like this guy's a lunatic . I can't compete against this person . Anyway , that was a bit of a tangent , but the world's becoming more competitive Right these days .

To get ahead in life , you have to read , you have to be waking up on time , you have to work hard , you have to be focused . You can't be distracted . Everybody seems to want your attention and to get anything done you need to be able to just lock yourself away and stay focused . How is alcohol adding to that ? And plus , if everybody else that's trying to achieve what you're trying to achieve , or compete in the same market places you or go for the same promotion , if they're performing at their peak and they're not drinking alcohol , how can you compete with that ? Everybody's looking for that edge . And if you're reading self-development books , learning new skills , you're waking up early , you're staying focused and you're drinking , you're at a massive disadvantage . And if that same individual that's going for that promotion , or the same person that's competing for the same customers is out there not drinking and doing all the same things as you . They're going to destroy you . So this is why this is a big reason why so many people are quitting . They're looking for that edge and this will give you that edge . It's one of the most asymmetrical things that you can do , one of the smallest inputs that you can put in to get such a crazy output . So why wouldn't you stop drinking ? That's the question .

Anyway , the second reason why so many people are stopping drinking is because information is so much more readily available on the internet . See , my mom went to AA and when she was trying to stop drinking , there wasn't anything available . There was no internet back then . There was maybe a few books , but nobody really spoke about it , because how you'd get information is from people in your local area . And back then she said AA was the only thing available for me .

Speaker 0

But we live in a very different age today . People are waking up . People are waking up to the truth about alcohol . Channels like Mine Exist , where we just published so much information about what alcohol really is . Because let's boil it down to its core , what is alcohol . It's a poison , it's a drug and it's nothing more than ethanol . It does nothing for you . But 50 years ago we didn't get this message . Alcohol was a bit of fun , a bit of harmless fun , a bit like cigarettes used to be . But now we have high quality , unbiased information that we're able to access through literally a device in our pocket . It's beautiful , it's a great thing .

The third reason why so many people are quitting alcohol is because there are so many more people that are sharing their experiences and this gives people hope . If you think about it , we've got Reddit communities where people are all talking about their experience . We've got people that are making videos about their story of not drinking alcohol and I'm talking about regular , everyday people . I'm not talking about famous people or anything like that . We have normal people that are putting out content and putting out ideas and talking about the benefits that happen in their own life as a result of not drinking alcohol . You know , 50 years ago , where would you get that information ? I mean , you might see it on the news occasionally . You probably never really see anybody that stops drinking . But before the internet and before people could share their experience online , where would you ? It was probably very hard to find inspiration , but now we have so much inspiration at our fingertips . There are thousands of accounts of people that are stopping drinking . They've shared their experience , they've spoken about their benefits , and this leads people to be inspired , it gives people hope . It gives people hope that they can do it as well and they can have a better future as a result of not drinking . So again back to my question why wouldn't you stop drinking ? Because those benefits are all possible for you as well .

Now , the fourth reason is that it seems to be losing its appeal amongst a younger audience . Maybe young people today they're just desensitized by the marketing and this is gonna sound a little bit savage but maybe these days , young people are looking at parents or elderly people in their life . Wait , wait , wait . I need to be careful . I know people that watch this channel 30s , 40s , 50s but maybe younger people these days are looking at people 30s , 40s , 50s I'm not calling it elderly , right , but they might be looking at people in that age that have been drinking for the past 20 years and thinking I don't wanna do that . Why would I wanna drink ? Look what happens you just get fat , you get lazy , it's all you do . I don't want that life , but it seems to be losing its appeal amongst younger people . I'm not saying that kids don't still drink , right , but there seems to be a lot more open dialogue .

Speaker 0

And the fifth reason why so many people are stopping drinking is because there are celebrities and high profile individuals that also share that experience . Something that helped me on my journey was and listen , I'm not into like celebrity culture or anything like that , but when I could see somebody that had achieved amazing things in their life and then they would say that stopping drinking started everything for me . Man , that inspired me Because I didn't wanna stop drinking just to stop drinking . I wanted to stop drinking because I wanted a better life for myself . I wanted a better future , I wanted to be in better shape , have some success , get in a relationship . So when I could see somebody like you know , bradley Cooper , say that when I stopped drinking , my career just shot off like a rocket , I'm thinking wow for real .

My friend Tony Jeffries . He was an Olympic boxer , world champion boxer . He stopped drinking alcohol and then started YouTube and his YouTube channel exploded . His personal brand exploded . He's been able to travel the world , take his family across the world , and , in fact , I'll link to a video that he recently made in the description below , where he talks about his experience of not drinking alcohol , because that's somebody who attributes stopping drinking to be that domino right that knocked over all the other dominoes in his life . And when inspirational and influential people are sharing this message and they're being transparent , it inspires us , and that's my goal with this channel . I wanna help , I wanna serve , I wanna show you the amazing things that were happening in your life when you stopped drinking alcohol .
