Ramit Sethi’s Success Triggers Course Has Been Updated

Not even a minute ago, I recovered my account for Ramit Sethi’s Success Triggers course, and I see that it looks different from how I last remembered it. Before, there was a community aspect. You could post in the comments for each lesson/video. There was also a section to take notes or respond to each prompt. However, that has all been removed. You no longer have saved notes. It looks like the questions are still there, but you’re free to take notes on your own (through your own programs on handwritten) or just answer them in your mind or out loud. There’s no way to track notes through the program it seems.

I liked having a section to write your own notes inside the program, because it helped me keep track of which videos I completed. Also, it was accessible from any computer so long as you had your login. It was just convenient. But, I guess they don’t have to worry about storing all this information from users now. Not sure why they did away with it, but it might have just been easier for Ramit’s team.

I guess one thing I could do is go through each lesson each day and write a blog post reflecting upon it. It might be helpful for both me and whoever is reading my blog. It’d be like an extended review on the program. Maybe I’ll become an expert and could teach the content to others too.

I only remember going through the first section titled “Your Psychology”. Maybe I went through the career section too, but I don’t remember much about it. So, I’ll definitely have to start from the beginning to refresh my memory.

I wonder if I will be able to stick to going through each module. I have to want to do it. I mean I paid money for the course, and I didn’t even complete it. Putting money down doesn’t motivate me much. It’s more so wanting to follow through. So, I hope I enjoy the content and am able to stick through finishing the whole course. Then at the end, I can see if it really helped change my mindset or not. I can see what the value is.

The description for the Success Triggers course is, “Learn the frameworks for happiness, confidence and success.” So now, I will rate my levels from 0-10 in each area. At the end, I will do the same and see how it compares. And because success might take time I guess, I might also evaluate these three areas again a month later.

Happiness – 3/10
Confidence – 5/10
Success – 3/10

I don’t really feel sad or down most of the time, but I don’t really get a sense of true happiness these days. I don’t feel fulfilled in particular. I know there doesn’t have to be a particular reason to be happy. You can be happy for absolutely no reason. You can enjoy anything and everything. But honestly, it hasn’t been as easy as it was just a couple years ago. I just feel “meh” or “okay” most times. I would like to feel a genuine sense of happiness for once.

I am confident that I can do things if I have to, but I also think that I struggle to do things. So, I’m not 100% confident. Sometimes, I procrastinate. Some things are harder for me to accomplish these days. Before, I was definitely confident about being independent and living on my own. Now, I have some reservations because of experiences that I’ve had over the past two years. So, I hope this program can help me unravel some limiting beliefs and think more positively.

I’ve had some success in different areas of my life. However, it’s nowhere near where I want it to be. I don’t push myself too hard and I am okay even if I maintain the same level of success. However, of course, I feel like it would be nice to do more. I also realize that I have some things that I’m struggling with that other people don’t experience, and if it weren’t for those things, I’d be at a much different place in life. So, I cut myself some slack. If I can succeed in life with the help of this course, it would be nice. I’m not banking on it, but who knows, maybe it will help reframe my mindset and enable me to be more successful such as with making money through producing music.

Well anyway, I will try the first course tomorrow and share my insights! 🙂 (Well, assuming I follow through that is…)
