Kevin Palmieri

(0:00) If you are listening to this podcast, you are listening to this podcast because you want to become the most next-level version of yourself. (0:07) Today, we're going to talk exactly about how to do that. (0:11) Success is a formula.(0:13) Today, we're going to talk about it. (0:15) Welcome to Next Level University. (0:17) I'm your host, Kevin Palmieri.(0:19) And I'm your co-host, Alan Lazarus. (0:22) At NLU, we believe in a heart-driven but no BS approach to holistic self-improvement for dream chasers. (0:29) Our goal with every episode is to help you level up your life, love, health, and wealth.(0:36) We bring you a new episode every single day on topics like confidence, self-belief, self-worth, self-awareness, relationships, boundaries, consistency, habits, and defining your own unique version of success. (0:51) Self-improvement in your pocket, every day, from anywhere, completely free. (0:58) Welcome to Next Level University.(1:04) Next Level Nation today for episode number 2,191. (1:07) We're getting close to 2,200. (1:09) How to become more next-level than 99% of people.(1:14) The reason I wanted to do this episode is because, one, it's probably more simple than you think. (1:25) Two, I don't know, we're more next-level than 99% of people? (1:30) Humbly?(1:32) For sure. (1:32) Health, wealth, and love? (1:33) I'd say so, right?(1:34) That is the goal. (1:36) Yes. (1:37) So, two, we aspire to lead by example on this.(1:40) So, it's not going to be, well, this is what I used to do. (1:43) You said 99% or 99.9? (1:46) 99%.(1:46) Okay. (1:47) Yeah. (1:47) One out of 100?(1:49) Yes, sir. (1:50) Yeah. (1:50) We are definitely that.(1:52) Yes. (1:53) Okay. (1:53) So, we are leading by example, and this is a journey that we are on with you.(1:58) So, it's not that we've arrived and we're always going to be, it's not that. (2:02) It's we know what it takes to be on this journey. (2:04) Whether you think we're ahead or not, whatever.(2:07) That's not even the point, but we're on this journey with you. (2:09) That's part two. (2:11) What is it?(2:13) Nothing. (2:13) You and I are just so uncomfortable owning it. (2:15) It's hilarious.(2:16) I don't like it. (2:17) We need to fix that. (2:19) I don't want you, whether you're watching or listening, to think I'm arrogant.(2:23) I don't want that. (2:24) I don't want that. (2:25) Do I think I'm ahead?(2:26) I do. (2:26) I think I'm ahead of 99% of people. (2:29) You definitely are.(2:29) I'm not the most jacked in every room I'm in, but if you put that with the way my relationship goes, I think, nah, I don't know. (2:36) It depends on the room. (2:37) I'm deluded now.(2:40) I'm deluded. (2:41) You can't even own it. (2:42) I like to think I am.(2:44) Yeah, I like to think I am. (2:46) But yeah, we're going to talk about that today. (2:48) We've lost all credibility because Alan and I haven't owned it.(2:51) So if you've tuned out at this point, I'm the greatest thing ever. (2:56) That's it. (2:57) That's why you should listen to this episode.(2:58) That's not true either. (2:59) Okay. (3:00) There's always an X level, whether you're top 1% or not.(3:02) Yes. (3:03) If you want to be top 1% in health, wealth, and love, that means you're one in a million. (3:06) There are 8 billion people on planet earth, 5.65 billion on the internet, increasing over time. (3:12) Obviously, the population is growing. (3:14) There's 195 countries. (3:16) How many territories, son?(3:18) I have no idea. (3:19) You don't know the territories. (3:20) No, I know the countries.(3:22) That is rookie shit. (3:23) Now, here's the problem though. (3:25) How many people on the planet?(3:27) 8 billion. (3:28) So what number would you have to be in to be 1%? (3:32) What's 1% of 8 billion?(3:34) There are... (3:35) What did we move the decimal point? (3:36) Was that 80 million?(3:37) You're going to be in the 80 millionth? (3:40) No, no, sorry. (3:43) One of 8 million?(3:43) 800 million. (3:45) You're just going to be one of 800 million? (3:47) Yeah.(3:47) Oh yeah, you got this. (3:49) You got this.

Alan Lazaros

(3:49) 100%. (3:50) That's what I'm saying.

Kevin Palmieri

(3:51) Yeah, 100%. (3:51) I'm the fucking man. (3:53) Now I'm the man.(3:54) I can own it. (3:55) No. (3:55) All right.(3:56) This is why math is so important. (3:57) 800 million. (3:59) Kevin did not know his value until math.(4:02) That's my new goal in this episode. (4:04) All right. (4:05) My goal in this episode is to add value to what we said we were going to talk about.(4:09) From your perspective, you can only give three tactics, okay? (4:18) Positive constraints with Kevin's questions. (4:20) Yes.(4:20) Three tactics. (4:22) I come to you. (4:22) I say, Alan.(4:24) It's 80 million, not 800. (4:25) My bad. (4:26) Fucked up the math.(4:27) I knew something was off.

Alan Lazaros

(4:28) It's 80 million.

Kevin Palmieri

(4:28) I'm not the man. (4:28) Now I'm not the man. (4:29) 80 million.(4:30) No, no, you still could be. (4:31) I could be. (4:32) If I keep working hard and believing in myself.(4:34) Yeah, yeah, yeah. (4:34) Okay. (4:34) What was the question?(4:36) I come to you. (4:37) I said, hey, I heard this episode of 2191. (4:40) Bullshit.(4:41) But let's say hypothetically, I wanted to be more next level than 99% of people. (4:47) Hypothetically. (4:47) What are the three things you tell me to do?(4:49) What are the three things I can do to be ahead? (4:54) All right. (4:55) I'll break it down.(4:56) The three things. (4:57) What do you mean, man? (4:58) There's way more than three.(4:59) If you said that, I'm walking. (5:01) I asked you for advice. (5:02) You didn't give me advice.(5:03) All right, all right, all right, all right. (5:04) Answer my fucking question. (5:05) All right, all right.(5:06) You have to get absolute clarity on what you want for your future. (5:10) Number one.

Alan Lazaros

(5:11) Okay.

Kevin Palmieri

(5:12) So we do something called a 10-year roadmap. (5:14) You write down the top 10 things that you want to achieve in 10 years. (5:17) Be reasonable.(5:18) Okay. (5:19) You can achieve a lot in 10 years, but you're not going to be a billionaire in 10 years. (5:21) Okay.(5:22) All right. (5:23) You with me? (5:24) I'm with you.(5:24) Awesome. (5:25) Okay. (5:25) 10-year roadmap.(5:26) 10-year roadmap. (5:27) Absolute clarity on what you want for the next decade. (5:29) And you're going to help me with that because I don't know.(5:31) Correct. (5:32) Okay. (5:32) All right.(5:33) Check. (5:34) Number one, clarity on what you want. (5:37) Okay.(5:38) Number two. (5:42) Who do you need in your corner who knows how to get said things? (5:48) And by get, I mean accomplish.(5:51) Get around someone who has accomplished those things. (5:56) Okay. (5:58) In person.(5:59) And by in person, I don't mean in person. (6:01) Like you can do it on Zoom, but it has to be one-on-one private. (6:06) I spent, I had dinner every once a month, probably for an entire year with a multimillionaire CEO of a billion dollar robotics company.(6:19) I learned a lot in those meetings. (6:22) We got sushi. (6:23) Love sushi.(6:24) Love learning. (6:25) It's great. (6:25) Okay.(6:26) Those are very important. (6:28) You can't just like, I'm going to mess you up with this question. (6:32) How does somebody like me get to that dinner though?(6:38) Hmm. (6:38) Pay. (6:40) Pay.(6:41) Pay for coach. (6:42) Pay for coach. (6:43) Okay.(6:43) Pay for coach. (6:43) Okay. (6:44) Number one, absolute clarity on what you want.(6:46) Clarity has to come first. (6:48) Number two, get around someone who has achieved those results. (6:51) Make sure they're not a fucking snake.(6:53) Nice. (6:54) All right. (6:54) Pay for coaching.(6:55) Don't pay $10,000 an hour. (6:57) Seriously. (6:57) They don't know that much.(6:58) I promise. (6:59) All right. (7:00) Third, get to fucking work.(7:07) Oh, wow. (7:09) Get to work. (7:09) Get to work.(7:11) Mine would be completely different. (7:13) Drastically different. (7:14) Not even, I didn't even think of any of those.(7:18) I would argue you're probably less optimal, but that's okay. (7:21) Get to work for sure. (7:21) Get to work's one.(7:22) All right. (7:22) Nice. (7:23) You got one third.(7:23) But we can't, we can't, I mean, look, we know that, right? (7:26) Get to work. (7:27) We know that.(7:28) Give me another one. (7:30) That one's understood, right? (7:32) It's like, I want to become the best, I want to be the best swimmer of all time.(7:36) Track your habits. (7:37) Okay. (7:38) Track your habits.(7:38) Track the process. (7:39) I hear you. (7:40) There's principles, there's processes.(7:43) Track it. (7:45) Measure. (7:46) Measure.(7:47) You have to measure what matters. (7:50) I always use the joke. (7:51) What if Michael Phelps's coach was like, yeah, man, jump in, just swim around.(7:54) Don't worry about it. (7:55) Yeah. (7:55) Terrible idea.(7:56) You got to measure. (7:57) You got to measure. (7:58) What an alarming oversight.(8:00) That was going to be my number one. (8:02) Nice. (8:03) That was going to be my number one.(8:04) My number one is going to be track habits. (8:06) Measure. (8:06) Measure, but track habits.

Alan Lazaros

(8:08) Nice.

Kevin Palmieri

(8:08) Because I, again, there are very few people that are tracking habits. (8:13) Okay. (8:13) Can we have a conversation about that real quick?(8:15) Yeah, sure. (8:15) This is back to the math thing I said. (8:17) Yeah, sure.(8:18) Let's do it. (8:19) Why is that, dude? (8:20) To me, that is like...(8:22) One is exposure. (8:24) We are in a silo of a silo of a silo of a silo. (8:29) There's not a ton of exposure to habit tracking.(8:32) As much as you want to think there is. (8:34) It's not just habit tracking. (8:36) I mean, tracking in general.(8:38) I knew my GPA. (8:40) I knew my class rank. (8:42) I think it's a math thing.(8:45) I think it's a math thing, and I think it's a struggle. (8:47) I didn't even know your value until we did the 80 million. (8:50) It's obviously 80 million, not 800 million.(8:52) 800 million is 10%. (8:54) That was just a dumb thing. (8:55) But don't say obvious to me like I'm the one who said the fucking number.(8:59) I said the number. (8:59) It's my bad. (9:00) I multiply by 0.1 instead of 0.01. That's on me. (9:03) The point is... (9:03) Yes. (9:05) How do you know your value if you don't know math?(9:09) That is a great question. (9:13) I don't know. (9:14) You think you're as valuable as you feel.(9:16) Can you imagine an athlete... (9:17) I'm sorry. (9:18) I asked you a question and then didn't let you answer.(9:19) Imagine an athlete. (9:20) No stats. (9:22) Well, are you good?(9:23) Yeah, pretty good. (9:24) Okay. (9:26) Here's a $100 million contract.(9:29) You can't... (9:30) How long do you think it took them to start tracking the stats? (9:34) There are stats in baseball that are like five years old.(9:37) Brand new stats. (9:38) They just started tracking them. (9:40) Isn't that wild?(9:41) Yeah. (9:43) Yeah. (9:44) And someone's calling.(9:45) It's my wife. (9:46) I told her I was gonna be done at six. (9:48) Understandable.(9:49) I will not answer the phone live because I don't... (9:50) I think she's getting her hair done, so... (9:53) Getting her hair did?(9:53) Hair did. (9:54) What was the question that you asked? (9:56) How do you know your value if you don't measure?(10:01) You gotta answer it, man. (10:02) Do it. (10:02) I'll hold the space.(10:02) No, no. (10:03) I respect it. (10:06) Didn't eat yet.(10:08) I don't know. (10:09) I don't know how you know your value without being able to measure it. (10:14) I think it goes by how you feel.(10:17) I think that's why so many people tell people, make sure you know your value because your value is usually connected to your self-worth. (10:26) I think. (10:29) You hate it?(10:31) How fast are you? (10:33) This is... (10:34) I was on a podcast yesterday and the very first thing...(10:37) Older man, 80 years old, still killing it. (10:40) Love that. (10:41) It's awesome.(10:41) Yeah. (10:42) He's like, you love Einstein too. (10:43) He saw it in my background.(10:45) And there's a book by Walter Isaacson called Einstein in my background. (10:48) And he's like, I got it too. (10:49) He pulls it up.(10:51) Everything's relative. (10:52) I hope this lands. (10:53) I know this isn't supposed to be a physics conversation.(10:57) Everything's relative. (10:58) So you don't know your value until you benchmark. (11:02) So when you do your SATs, you realize what percentile you're in.(11:07) Yeah, but life's not like that. (11:09) But it is. (11:09) It is like that.(11:11) Okay, Christina, one of the most productive people I've ever met. (11:14) How do I know that? (11:15) Because I've measured a bunch of unproductive people.(11:19) Fair. (11:20) You can't know someone's value until you know their utility. (11:24) And their utility is always based on a number.(11:26) If farm A produces 10 times more crop than farm B, which one's more valuable? (11:33) Well, we're talking extrinsically for those listening. (11:36) Extrinsically, not intrinsically.(11:37) You're valuable as a human being. (11:38) We're talking skills and productivity in the world. (11:40) In the context of this, which is success-based, right?(11:44) The original premise of this episode was about becoming 99 top 1% success, right? (11:50) So in external success, you have to know your value intrinsically, yes. (11:54) But it's more predicated on...(11:56) Yes, yes, yes. (11:57) Yeah. (11:58) Yeah, it's more predicated on what you can measure.(12:00) I was just saying that when you were saying how valuable you are, we were talking extrinsically, that's all. (12:05) Oh, okay, yeah. (12:05) I know.(12:06) I'm glad you clarified. (12:07) But I also wanted to make sure that that was the context because I forgot. (12:12) Sometimes I get intense and I forget.(12:13) I'm just excited. (12:14) I want to talk about math and physics. (12:15) It's all good.(12:16) You got me on the theory of relativity up in here. (12:18) One, measure habits. (12:20) Let's just get back into that and then we'll...(12:23) Because I don't know. (12:24) I don't know without numbers how you measure your value. (12:26) I don't know.(12:27) How did you used to measure? (12:29) You measured it based on how much money you made. (12:32) Oh my God.(12:33) Dude, that's a terrible idea. (12:36) How much money you make is not an indicator of your value and it is. (12:40) Oh.(12:40) That's what everybody... (12:41) That's what I'm measuring against. (12:42) So when someone makes a...(12:44) We made $5,000 in a speech. (12:47) All of a sudden, you're more valuable? (12:49) Yes.(12:51) No, absolutely not. (12:53) I'm in a smaller segment of... (12:54) How many people you know that have gotten $5,000 for a speech?(12:57) Yes, 100%. (12:58) No, that's the worst way to do it. (12:59) But...(13:00) It's not trajectory.

Alan Lazaros

(13:01) That's a one-off.

Kevin Palmieri

(13:01) But I'm telling you that's the way it's set up. (13:03) Oh, that's broken. (13:04) Then I make a course on how to get paid $5,000 to speak.

Alan Lazaros

(13:07) I can do it because I get paid $5,000.

Kevin Palmieri

(13:09) Oh no. (13:09) I agree. (13:10) I agree.(13:10) Yeah, you can't... (13:11) Well, you got to watch out for the one-hit wonders up in there. (13:13) Track habits.(13:15) Okay. (13:15) Measure track habits. (13:16) Measure track habits.(13:17) We're on the same page. (13:18) Love it. (13:21) Learn every day.(13:22) Every day, non-negotiable. (13:24) I don't care what you learn. (13:25) I do.(13:27) Take it easy. (13:28) Yeah, you can care. (13:29) But if you learn something new every day, you're definitely ahead of 99% of people.(13:33) What if I'm out here learning about soil and that doesn't apply to my career? (13:38) I'm talking about success here, I thought. (13:40) I think it's still a really good start.(13:43) Oh my goodness. (13:44) I think it's still a really good start. (13:46) I'm not saying not to learn about soil.(13:48) You could actually connect that to success if you wanted to. (13:50) But you got to have targeted learning. (13:53) Do you know how many clients I have with targeted learning as one of their habits?(13:56) Yes, but is that... (13:57) I have targeted learning on my habits. (13:58) Is that where they started?(14:01) Mother... (14:01) No. (14:02) No, that's what I'm saying.(14:05) I've read Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and then I read something else. (14:08) Are we here to talk about what you should do or what you could do? (14:14) How to start.(14:15) Targeted learning is important. (14:17) I think you should 100% get there. (14:19) Okay.(14:20) But I don't think that's where you're going to start. (14:24) Yeah, I also think you should exercise every day. (14:27) You're not going to fucking start there.(14:28) That's dumb as shit. (14:29) Okay, fair. (14:30) All right, all right, all right.(14:31) Well done. (14:32) Put them down. (14:32) Well done.(14:33) Put them down. (14:34) Okay, learn anything. (14:36) What are we doing here?(14:37) This is next level university. (14:38) Learn anything. (14:39) Yeah.(14:41) I think I'm going to learn some wood carving. (14:43) You go find me. (14:44) You go talk to 100 people and you find out how many of them are actually learning anything every day.(14:51) And I'll change my answer if it's higher than I think, which I don't think it is. (14:54) What's the percentage you think? (14:55) That are learning something new every day?(14:57) I don't think I've gone a day in my life without learning. (15:00) Well, you cloud your judgment with yourself. (15:04) Understandable.(15:06) Learning is the key to all things. (15:08) I concur. (15:10) But I think sometimes you have to, again, for me, it always has to be sustainable.(15:14) I can give you the best protocol ever of all time. (15:17) If you do it for a month, it's going to equate to nada. (15:18) All right, can it be like learn something in your field?(15:26) He says no. (15:27) No, no. (15:28) Because what if you don't have a field?

Alan Lazaros

(15:33) Learn something about health, wealth, or love.

Kevin Palmieri

(15:37) Learn something about health, wealth, or love. (15:38) That's it. (15:39) Everyone has a field.(15:41) Yeah, but you're not trying to be more next level than 99% of people in your field. (15:45) You're trying to be more next level than 99% of people as a person. (15:49) I'm not trying to be ahead of 99% of podcasters.(15:52) Why not? (15:53) Yes, you are. (15:53) You're lying.(15:54) Of course you are. (15:56) As a byproduct of becoming more next level than 99% of humans. (16:00) You're the podcast guy.(16:01) Yeah, but if I want to be more next level than 99% of humans, I'm going to have to be more next level than 99% of podcasters, for sure, by definition. (16:09) But don't, no, no, no, no, no. (16:13) That's like saying.(16:14) In podcasting? (16:16) Yes. (16:17) No.(16:18) That's like saying you want to be the greatest football player ever, but you're not going to be greater than the high school people playing. (16:28) It's like, if I want to be the most. (16:30) No, no, if you want to be the most successful podcaster, top 1% podcaster, you should study podcasting more than the soil.(16:40) I think as a byproduct of being top 1% at everything, I will. (16:48) No, no, no, this is good. (16:49) This is good.(16:51) You want to be top? (16:52) Oh, okay. (16:52) So you're trying to be top 1% at it?(16:54) No, because what you're saying is a global learning versus a local. (16:59) What if I said health, wealth, or love? (17:02) You could be the healthiest, wealthiest, and most in love terrible podcaster of all time.(17:06) No, no, I know, but I'm saying for their example. (17:10) Who's they? (17:11) Whoever's listening.(17:13) Okay. (17:13) All right. (17:15) Whoever's listening, if you haven't shut this off yet, real quick.(17:18) You have an industry, you have a field, you have a career trajectory. (17:21) Remember mine was predicated on figuring out what you want. (17:25) So you can't just learn anything.(17:27) You have to learn based on the roadmap. (17:30) See, yours is faulty because it doesn't have a destination location. (17:35) I think mine's faulty because I'm starting from what would have helped me.(17:39) But what would have helped you is fucking clarity, which we got first. (17:43) I can't take the ones you have though. (17:44) I don't want to use the same ones you have.(17:46) But yeah, I'm trying to challenge this. (17:46) Okay. (17:47) Let's say you have the top 10 roadmap.(17:50) You don't think they should learn something in one of those things to get those things? (17:55) If you're already learning every day, yeah. (17:57) All right.(17:58) It really is. (17:58) Just learn every day. (18:00) Just like what?(18:01) What are you learning? (18:02) I don't know. (18:02) I almost don't care in the beginning.(18:07) I don't know, man. (18:08) There's a lot to learn. (18:09) I know, but my thought process is as you level up, you're going to get more specific anyway.(18:18) That is not guaranteed. (18:19) I know people who know a ton about a bunch of random useless shit. (18:23) I, there was someone growing up who knew more useless information than I have ever heard.(18:28) I mean, it was literally, and it was not successful at all. (18:32) But he didn't have clarity. (18:33) I'm saying, I'm saying they have clarity at this point.(18:36) Oh, yeah. (18:37) So you're saying, assuming you have clarity, then your learning will be targeted. (18:41) So we're saying the same thing, but kind of different.(18:42) I'm saying if, if for you learning every day is a new habit, I am not going to specify and make the new habit even more specific because I don't think it's going to do you any favors. (18:56) Okay. (18:56) Start with just learning.(18:58) If you, if you were to say exercise every day, you wouldn't necessarily say you have to weight train every day. (19:02) No, but I wouldn't say to do jumping jacks. (19:05) Why?(19:06) Isn't that better than nothing to start? (19:08) Okay. (19:08) I wouldn't say cartwheels.(19:09) Well, all right. (19:13) We have five minutes. (19:14) We got to jump.(19:15) This is fun. (19:16) Seriously. (19:16) Do what you would like.(19:18) Sift through all this and hopefully you have some targeted learning. (19:22) Here's imagine I'm going for six cartwheels today here. (19:25) I think this is, this is the fact.(19:27) If you're more consistent, if you're more intentional and you are more reflective than the people around you, you probably will end up being more next level than 99, 99% of people. (19:41) Nice. (19:41) I think that if anything, that's the lesson from this is.(19:44) If anything came out of this episode for me, it's you were winging it way more than I thought back in the day. (19:48) You literally were just playing MLB. (19:51) 100%.(19:52) Listening to random books. (19:53) I think when I, when you asked me what to read, that's targeted learning. (19:56) That's targeted learning.(19:57) I know, but it took me a while before I would have asked that. (20:01) Okay. (20:01) Fair.(20:02) I think I like learning stuff. (20:04) Everyone who's listening to our podcast loves learning. (20:07) They're going to fucking run for the hills if they didn't.(20:10) Well, I know that's fair, but I wasn't necessarily talking to them. (20:13) I honestly probably not. (20:14) Maybe not.(20:15) I don't know. (20:15) I don't know. (20:16) All right, man.(20:17) Hey, if you're listening, please reach out. (20:19) So I know who the fuck you are and I can talk to you on the podcast because sometimes I lose sight of who it is. (20:25) We're talking to you.(20:25) Reach out. (20:25) Seriously. (20:27) Seriously.(20:27) If you have the, we got to jump next level podcast accelerator. (20:31) If you're a podcaster who wants to learn from the podcast guy who obviously studies podcasting.
