A 7-Day Gauntlet for Immediate Momentum

No more excuses. No more collecting knowledge without implementation. This is a 7-day challenge designed to force action, build discipline, and reset your trajectory. No more starting without finishing.

  • Morning: 5AM cold shower followed by 100 pushups (break into sets if needed).
  • Delete all courses, ebooks, and 'learning' materials you haven't acted on in 6 months.

  • List all the financial promises you've made to yourself but broken.
  • Calculate your true hourly worth based on your income from the last 12 months.

Day 3: Physical Reset
