I Made My First 10K After Quitting Video Games (And How I Quit)

I’m going to tell you exactly how I stopped playing video games and even managed to make my first 10k the month after that.

I have been playing video games since I was literally 4 years old. And if I can quit and turn it around, you can too.

Now if your goal is to become a pro video game nerd then this is not for you, but instead for people with ambition, ambitions to leave this life behind, provide for everyone around them and to make an impact big enough to be talked about well past their death.

Video games will only waste your time, delay you from that, and even prevent you from getting to there.

I want to give you all the value as soon as possible and the thing that seriously made me stop, give my playstation away and then start making money was not just that ambition. Let me tell you the story.

I had a few businesses before my main one BlueShine took off, and during all those businesses I never quit video games but when I started this one I did.

Because it was genuinely something that I not only believed in but got results in.

The reason I didn’t quit before, and you may relate to me on this. Video games gives you a sense of winning, a sense of moving up in something. If you know you want success, money and wins it’s pretty hard to give that up when you aren’t getting those results and feelings in real life.

I imagine it’s the same with any addiction, no one quits (especially not cold turkey) when there isn’t a good reason too.

You need to have something that can take your video game time away and give you that winning feeling.

For you, you need to either start something or commit yourself to your 1 thing that can change your life.

What can you commit yourself to?

A project. Something based around the best opportunity you have. If you’ve been following me for some time you know I don’t promote or teach my business model as the best thing since sliced bread like all these other gurus out here. But instead I teach the principles to make anything you’re working on be the best thing for you.

For you, your best opportunity will either be in business, work or school.

Whatever it is, commit yourself to it. And I’ll also tell you how it went with me when I quit the video games and what it took for me to mentally commit to the best opportunity for me at the time.

Before I started my business with my friend, my life was literally: Wake up, school, video games, think about girls, Repeat. Now I was very ambitious, this was around the time when our family had very little, I made some money off crypto, but I was still a nobody. I hated that feeling.

I had worked sales the year before and had a mentor, my old sales manager. And we called one day talking about businesses I could start. I didn’t listen and instead tried to replicate what he did which was a fundraising business but I got investigated for fraud. Threw that to the side.

Next I started window cleaning. That required a bigger commitment out of me, I hired my best friend at the time who I’d always play video games and hang out with, I put $110 into equipment (which was a lot for me) and I started knocking doors the day after.

On that day I made $800. Now that first win did a lot for me, because I had never really won like that before in my life.

After getting a win like that that, you just want to keep winning.

A month after that first win I grew the business, expanded and made my first 10k in a month revenue. I was too stupid at the time to be able to profit something that. But things happen so fast when you can just commit to changing yourself.

My advice is not to slowly stop or even cut it off cold turkey. But to find something that you can dedicate yourself to, something that can give you the feeling of achievement. Because if you have that, as a result you will just quit.

Now before this win, I was slowly getting out of video games, and what I did to slow this retard thing down was to replace it with something that required low brain power and no physical action, what I did was spend 2-3 hours a day on just learning. So now my game time was down from maybe 5-8 hours a day to 2-4.

Depending on where you’re at, you can start with 10 mins a day and work your way up.

And this is what I’d recommend for everyone reading this. Buy some books, watch some videos, courses, or join communities (like ours) and just commit yourself to not just learning but spending your time more productively.

I did this for maybe 3-4 months before I was able to go days without the video games which then let be able to take this massive action which led me to the results I wanted.

Right now you need education, inspiration, and small action. After you get that down you then only need more action and bigger commitments so you can start getting these wins that seem out of reach to you right now.

This is exactly how I went about quitting and how I’d help anyone else with quitting as well.

Now disclaimer, this will only work if you are fine with giving up this vice. If you do not want to, nothing I or anyone else say will help.

So ask yourself “what do I care about and value more in this world? The short-term pleasure or the long-term purpose.”

Thank you for reading, have an amazing day:)
