- Lack of Motivation: The video further explores two levels of motivation - motivation for chores or side activities, and a more fundamental lack of motivation characterized by a lack of direction in life. It suggests that difficulty finding motivation can result from a misalignment with one's authentic self. For instance, someone who aspires to be a musician may struggle to stay motivated at a 9-to-5 job that doesn't align with their passion. The solution is not to engage more with the job, but to realign with the person's true passions.
- Vision and Goal Setting: In order to motivate oneself, it is necessary to have a vivid and specific vision or goal. The object of motivation should feel like a worthy accomplishment. For example, Leo adds his personal experience of setting the vision to lose 65 pounds and transform his nutrition, which became powerful motivators for him.
- Visualize to Motivate: Visualizing the goal and placing it within the context of one's life is part of the motivation process. By visualizing the negative consequences of inaction and immersing oneself in the vision, motivation to act is likely to increase.
- Regular Reconnection with Vision: Narrator emphasizes the importance of regularly reconnecting with the vision to remain motivated. Suggestions for this include journaling, visualizations, affirmations, and meditation.
- Commitment and Connection with Vision: Leo suggests committing to a specific activity or habit for 30 days that reconnects a person with their vision. This could be looking at a written vision daily, or discussing it with a supportive person.

- Effects of Achieving or Not Achieving the Goal: Envision what the future could look if the goal was accomplished, while also considering possible negative outcomes if the goal is not pursued. This could involve the impact on health, work performance, relationships, and other aspects of life. A sense of what the future direction would look like with or without pursuing the goal should be developed.
- Reconnecting with the Vision: The process of visualization is not a one-time thing. There needs to be a habitual method of reconnecting with the vision. This could involve journaling, meditation, affirmations, or discussing the vision with others on a daily basis.
