A lot of folks in the self-development community often find themselves sifting through advice that may not be relevant to their situation. They encounter elite optimization plans, intense bootcamps, and claims of "the fastest and best" methods to achieve their goals, typically offered by high-achievers and coaches.

In this podcast episode, we're introducing a model that breaks down self-development into four levels. This model will assist you in assessing your current level and provide practical tips to help you progress up the ranks.

The Levels of Self Development:

Level Zero - No Lifer

Level 1 - GYST

Level 2 - The Top 1%

Level 3 - Mastery & Paying it Forward

The 5 Pillars of GYST (Get your Sh*t Together):

1 - Physical (Fitness, Strength, Mobility & Nutrition)

2 - Emotional (Awareness & Resilience)

3 - Metal (Knowledge & Development)

4 - Social (Communication & Relationships)

5 - Financial (Literacy & Career Capital)
