If you're ambitious but lazy, this video is for you because at 24 years old, I was broke,

loss, and labeled as lazy. Today I fly around on my own jet, mentor thousands of business owners,

and love the work I do every day. But it wouldn't have happened without following these eight

steps. So if you're ready to cut off the old version of you, this is how to get unstuck.

Welcome to the Martel Method. I went from rehab at 17 to building

a $100 million empire and being a Wall Street Journal bestselling author. In this podcast, I'll show you

exactly how to build a life and business you don't grow to hate. And make sure you don't miss

anything by subscribing to my newsletter at martel method.com. The first step of getting unstuck

is realizing you're not stuck. You're just unclear. Laziness is a lack of clarity. Long time ago

Once you have everything out of your mind on a piece of paper and put together, you want to figure out what's priority one, two, three, and four. Step four is to delete. If there's things on there

that isn't a hell yes, it's got to be a hard no. But now that you've got a clear plan, you need to

become the person capable of reaching it. Which brings us step number two of getting unstuck,

which is upgrade your identity. When your habits become your identity, you forget you do them. See,

most people worry about like going to the gym. Once you go to the gym every day, it's kind of like

as weird as leaving the house not wearing pants because it feels awkward. For years, I used to write down,

I am an Iron Man. It forced me to go to CrossFit. So I started training to be an athlete. It forced

me to hang out

with other people that were into running and biking and eventually swimming. And two years later,

my buddy Nick and I ended up doing our first Iron Man. What I learned is that the identity is more
