so every day you have to sell yourself
and get out of your mind those old
thoughts that old belief system every
day you’ve got to sell yourself on that
it’s possible that you got to put a new
mind in you you got to get out of your
mind you got to begin to restructure
your thinking every day you’ve got to
begin to recondition your mind see many
of us go through life making choices
thinking it’s our choices and it’s not
what do you mean by that
I’m reminded of the great anthropologist
Margaret Mead she was in a restaurant in
Europe and a waiter saw her and said oh
how are you I’m so glad to see you he
said there are several other Americans
here tonight and she said is that right
he said yes he said when you served in
dessert let me know and I’ll tell you
exactly how many are here he said that’s
not possible she said let me know after
you serve dessert when he served dessert
he came back and he told her she got up
she walked around and she looked and she
observed and she said you have exactly
65 Americans here he checked the guest
list and he was amazed he said how did
you know that she said because in Europe
when you eat a slice of pie or cake you
eat it from the back toward the tip in
America when we eat a slice of pie or
cake we eat it from the tip toward the
back how many of you when you eat a
slice of pie a cake you eat it from the
tip toward the back raise your hands
please good now what else is in your
mind what else are you doing
unconsciously that you don’t even know
I’m going to say something and I want
you to answer it after it I want you to
end it for me Winston tastes good like
what how many of you don’t even smoke
Winston but know it raise your hands
please
now that commercial been off the air for
30 years 30 years see let me share
something with you the easiest thing
I’ve ever done was to earn a million
dollars the most difficult thing I’ve
ever done was to believe it could happen
to me that was the most difficult part
to believe that given my circumstances
if my birth parents came down this aisle
right now I would not know either one if
my daddy came up here but my mother came
up here given the fact that I was born
an abandoned building on a floor being
labeled educable mentally retarded not
having any college trading I used to
feel all my life that people who had
college degrees were more intelligent
than me I remember going to see the late
dr. norman vincent peale the author of
the book the power of positive thinking
and I used to look at him up on stage
and I said I could do that I would love
to talk to people I’d love to talk to
people and I said I could do that but
then when I started going back to my car
my mental conditioning activated itself
and it said less frown you can’t do that
you don’t have a college education less
fine you can’t do that you don’t have
the training you’ll never work for a
major corporation you can do that what
makes you think you can earn five ten
fifteen twenty thousand dollars in an
hour you don’t earn that not working for
two or three months what makes you think
that you can speak for AT&T Proctor and
Gamble McDonald’s Corporation General
Electric DeAnza clients I have that
you’ve never even worked for them how
many’d ever thought about something you
wanted to do and you talked yourself out
of iterate your hand if you know what
I’m talking about
that inner conversation is what’s going
to haunt you after standing here and
saying I can do all things of Christ who
strengthens me after saying that again
and again we are more than conquerors
that inner conversation will cost you
when you leave here to go back leading a
life of mediocrity leading a life of
unproductivity leading a life of poverty
so I’m going to share with you how to
I want to share with you how to reach
your goals I think the Bible’s greatest
motivational book ever been written now
I want you to repeat after me please we
got to recondition our minds first let
us say together good things that’s
yeah write that down I want you to say
that to yourself every day see we live
in a world where we believe that bad
things are supposed to happen to us
I remember the point of my life bishop
when things are going good for me and I
said this is too good to be true
something is bound to happen
guess what it did thou shalt decree a
thing that shall be established unto you
and shall accomplish that win – it has
been sent watch your words watch what
you say about yourself about your
affairs be conscious of that on a daily
basis why because your words are
powerful in the beginning was to work
life and death is in the tongue watch
what you say never say I’m broke say I’m
claim what you want not what you don’t
want so affirm good things that suppose
to happen to me and begin to believe
that began to expect that now I was
talking to my oldest son Calvin we’re
going for a walk and I said Calvin do
you want to be successful he said yes I
dad so ok we kept on walking then I
stopped and I looked him in the eyes
it’s my namesake my Junior I said Calvin
we’re looking at each other eye to eye
now do you expect to be successful given
the fact that you are a single parent of
two kids given the fact that you decided
not to go to college to further your
education given the fact that you are
very talented
but you’re behind on your dreams and
your bills do you expect based upon your
performance based upon what you produce
at this point in time in your life do
you expect to be successful and Calvin
got quiet
but you see if you ask those people that
the manpower conference do you want to
be successful do you want to live the
life of productivity do you want to live
a life of contribution do you want to be
a better father do you want to have your
own business other dreams you want
everybody will say yes but see Warren
shows up in conversation expectation
shows up in behavior say I can tell what
you expect by what you do that’s why the
Bible says judge it’s a tree by the
fruit it bears not the fruit that it was
not the fruit that it talks about not
the fruit that it claims
but by what that you are doing see what
you do when you leave here when the
music stops when the shouting dies down
your behavior how you conduct yourself
writing your goals down deciding to
enroll in school to get a GED deciding
to sit in the class with children young
enough to be your grandchildren decide
to find some product some idea of some
service that you can provide so that you
can begin to create some value for
yourself so you can create well and let
me tell you something ladies and
gentlemen it’s very important that we
begin to learn how to create well I’m
not talking about loving money so I
believe that a lack of money is the root
of all evil people are steal for money
people have killed for money people go
to jail for money every time the
unemployment goes up in those areas
where the unemployment is high that’s
where you have the highest incidence of
crime and violence whenever the
unemployment goes up 1% in our community
10,000 children and women are better
what money makes a difference in your
life I never wanted to be rich all I’ve
ever wanted to do was to be comfortable
how many of ever want to be comfortable
raise your hands then I realize no it’ll
be comparable you got to be rich
[Applause]
another friend of mine Zig Ziglar said
people say money won’t make you happy
but everybody want to find out for
themselves Rena Davenport save money and
important but is right up there with
oxygen and let me tell you something
fellas even if you as homely as I am if
you’ve got some money women will find
he got it loaded like Denzel honey money
makes a difference I used to be so
Brooklyn creditors would call the house
my children would answer the phone to
say my daddy say I was on broke at one
time my life I walked by bacon trip the
alarm I’d say you poverty sucks you hear
me repeat after me please I’ll never be
yes write that down I affirm that I’ll
never be broke again never never will I
ever be broke again let me tell you what
money does number one it gives you
control over your life
write that down number two it gives you
options three it allows you to live a
life of contribution to contribute to
things that you feel strongly about like
this ministry and the work a project mm
we’ll be doing the change the lives of
young people
Bishop Jake’s vision is if we can have
little league football teams and
baseball teams and basketball teams then
we can have Little League dermatologists
and cardiologists and endocrinologist so
he’s now establishing an institution
project mm to give our young people the
methods the techniques to reinvent
themselves as we go into the next
millennium and this era that Peter
Drucker calls the era of the three C’s
accelerated change overwhelming
complexity and tremendous competition so
here’s the first step to accumulating
wealth if you expect to do it write this
down you must be willing to do the
things today others won’t do in order to
have the things tomorrow others won’t
have that’s why the book of life said
the road to light is straight and narrow
and few there be that find it because
fuel there will be that are willing to
do the things today others won’t do in
order to have the things tomorrow others
won’t have what are the things that
others won’t do number one make
discipline a major force in your life
how many of you know if you’d have been
more disciplined you’d be further along
to reach your goals right now Socrates
said the undisciplined life is an insane
life the road to life is straight and
narrow because few there be that are
willing to discipline themselves here’s
something else that most people won’t do
make it okay to fail
a lot of people 85% of people allow
their fear of failure to outweigh their
desire to succeed repeat after me please
anything that’s worth doing
is worth doing badly
yes anything is worth doing is worth
doing right as we have been taught if
you know how to do it but if you don’t
know how to do it is worth doing badly
until you get it right I bet you and I
wasn’t there I bet you that when Bishop
TD jakes first stood up to preach when
he gave his trial sermon he did not have
a command he did not have the mastery he
did not have the confidence he did not
have the depth he did not have the
capacity to translate and milk scripture
like he did last night when he first
started out now write this down you
don’t have to be great to get started
but you have to get started to be great
[Applause]
the first time I set up the speak I
stood up and my mind set down I looked
at the audience and I panicked I had to
introduce a play at school we pumped
without the spoon ran off mr. Washington
mr. Brown where are you going on mr.
wash and I I can’t think sir I don’t
know did you rehearse yes sir I did well
what’s wrong why did you say you’re Liza
I don’t know sound I just I’ve got it
then I looked at them and everything let
me let me do it another day please sir
no go back out there mr. Romm mr.
Washington how miss a flea surf though
don’t don’t don’t send me out there now
I’ll mess up mr. Brown if you run now
you will always be running anything
that’s worth doing it’s worth doing
badly until you get it right why are you
moving like that I gotta go to the
bathroom sir mr. Brown go back out there
yes sir we’ll start a play called 12
Angry Men directed by mr. Leroy
Washington now ran off the next day hey
alfalfa
they dogged me out they talked about me
so bad the next time another event came
up mr. Washington mr. Brown you were up
I said no mr. Washington everybody says
no not him as to their ride mr.
Washington not me he said mr. Brown
you’re up yes sir and I went out and
pretty soon with people laughed at me
didn’t bother me they would throw paper
and I can catch it without losing my
[Applause]
and then one day I came out and a hush
went across the audience because it must
have been something about me that
indicated that I had come to myself and
mr. washing had been practicing with me
to give a presentation and I looked at
the audience and I said I choose not to
be a common man it’s my right to be
uncommon if I can I seek opportunity not
security I do not wish to be a kept
citizen humbled and dull by having the
state look after me I want to take the
calculated risk to dream and to build to
fail and to succeed I refuse to live
from hand to mouth I prefer the
challenges of life to the guaranteed
existence but thrilling fulfillment to
the stale calm of utopia
I will never cower before any master nor
been to any threat it’s my heritage to
stand erect prouder than afraid the face
to were boldly and say this I have done
girl stood up say that’s my boy Freddy
unlike me from this bad baby but I
didn’t start off like that you have
something special you have talents
abilities in you that you don’t even
know so how do we begin to create wealth
let me give you some ideas number one
write this down knowledge what knowledge
that you have in this economy part of
what we need that people are willing to
pay you for that next is talent
what talent Deon’s talents playing
football I don’t have that as a talent
my talent is talking to me that my
definition of success is doing what you
love to do and find somebody to pay you
to do it so I find people to pay me to
talk I talked I bought a game to this
you to this country called beard Wits
that I invented and as I talk I shoot
pool I signify I make you tear up your
cards break your cue stick because I
talk a lot of trash I throw you off
you’ve never been to Boston out take you
there so I learn how to signify I talk
trash all right
it’s I make a living talking trash to
18t I make more in one hour than 90% of
the American public earn working for a
whole year doing what I love to do that
I’ve developed my talent you want to
master your talent find out what it is
that you love to do I love to talk
scripture is another key that says to us
of what we need to do to begin to
develop ourselves
Luke 1234 where your treasure is there
will your heart be also so what do you
love to do and then explore ways in
which you can earn a living doing that
cooking writing painting working with
numbers working with people the other
thing is not only must you have
knowledged talent some skill but the
other thing that’s important faith to
act on whatever your dream is see if you
don’t believe in yourself how many
people you know that have a lot of
talent lot of abilities but they don’t
believe in the
raise your hands çf faith is very
important so the faith to act on those
dreams those desires
here’s scripture that I that I like very
much proverbs 16 sixteenth chapter third
verse commit thy works unto the Lord and
I thought shall be established commit
means to carry into action deliberately
commit means to make it happen no matter
what commitment the difference between
next time you have bigger names the
chicken was involved the pig was
committed he had to give it all up
that’s gonna take a minute to sink in
alright see when you make a commitment
I’m going to become wealthy when you
make it important when you decide I’m
going to do it no matter what life
changes for you see most people don’t
keep their commitments to their
commitments that’s why they lead lives
of poverty lives of misery lives of
unhappiness Socrates said the
uncommitted life isn’t worth living so
part of what you must do whatever
commitment or whatever covenant you make
with God while you’re here to go back to
be a better father to go back to make a
difference in the community to go back
to change your life to decide not to
ever to use drugs or alcohol again to
decide to vit that you’re going to begin
to recreate yourself that you’re going
to be reborn to a new state of
consciousness whatever commitment that
you make keep your commitment to your
commitment no matter what if it’s hard
then do it hard or keep your commitment
to your commitment and then it says that
works see now most people look at that
commit that works most people look at
activity that one engages in to achieve
a predetermined objective but words
commit thy works that plural eise’s an S
they’re learned this from Bishop you got
to watch these things in Scripture just
can’t go on the surface there’s an S
then say commit that work whatever task
whatever talent whatever skill whatever
knowledge you have and begin to make
money doing that making a difference
impacting people’s life but commit that
work so there’s two kinds of work
there’s external work activity that
you’re engaged in and there is internal
work now why is that important Pharisees
said to Jesus wind chill the kingdom of
God come they came of God coming out by
observation they shall say it’s neither
low very low here behold the kingdom of
God within you it’s within you seek ye
first the kingdom and all these things
will be added unto you wealth good
relationship peace of mind good health
better community whatever you want to
desire a more powerful ministry so the
work is internal as well as external so
therefore number one is first step is
you’ve got to live your calling you got
to decide what is it you love second
thing is you’ve got to work on yourself
write this down on the work on yourself
you don’t get in life what you want you
get in life what you are you have a
ministry and you have 300 people that’s
a reflection of you
you have 2,000 that’s a reflection of
you you have a job you’re generating
1200 dollars a year or $2,000 of
$500,000 whatever you earn whatever
you’re producing in your life is
reflection of you that’s why says Judge
a tree by the fruit it bears I can look
at what you are producing and I can tell
you a lot about who you are and if you
look at people who are living below
their potential and sinning and sin and
the Aramaic language means falling short
of the mark I asked a question earlier
how many of you have goes the raise your
hands how many of you know if you had
your life to live over again you can do
more than what you’ve done the majority
of us raised our hands then that was an
indication that was testimony to reflect
the fact that you are palade operating
below your potential that’s a sin here
in my father glorified that
they’re much fruit then just say fruit
much fruit say when you leave here
you’ve got to make a commitment to be
more fruitful but need to be more
productive to make greater impact so
what will allow you to do that you got to spend time working on yourself
and get out of your mind those old
thoughts that old belief system every
day you’ve got to sell yourself on that
it’s possible that you got to put a new
mind in you you got to get out of your
mind you got to begin to restructure
your thinking every day you’ve got to
begin to recondition your mind see many
of us go through life making choices
thinking it’s our choices and it’s not
what do you mean by that
I’m reminded of the great anthropologist
Margaret Mead she was in a restaurant in
Europe and a waiter saw her and said oh
how are you I’m so glad to see you he
said there are several other Americans
here tonight and she said is that right
he said yes he said when you served in
dessert let me know and I’ll tell you
exactly how many are here he said that’s
not possible she said let me know after
you serve dessert when he served dessert
he came back and he told her she got up
she walked around and she looked and she
observed and she said you have exactly

America when we eat a slice of pie or
cake we eat it from the tip toward the
back how many of you when you eat a
slice of pie a cake you eat it from the
tip toward the back raise your hands
please good now what else is in your
mind what else are you doing
unconsciously that you don’t even know
I’m going to say something and I want
you to answer it after it I want you to
end it for me Winston tastes good like
what how many of you don’t even smoke

be a common man it’s my right to be
uncommon if I can I seek opportunity not
security I do not wish to be a kept
citizen humbled and dull by having the
state look after me I want to take the
calculated risk to dream and to build to
fail and to succeed I refuse to live
from hand to mouth I prefer the
challenges of life to the guaranteed
existence but thrilling fulfillment to
the stale calm of utopia
I will never cower before any master nor
been to any threat it’s my heritage to
stand erect prouder than afraid the face
to were boldly and say this I have done
girl stood up say that’s my boy Freddy
unlike me from this bad baby but I
didn’t start off like that you have
something special you have talents
abilities in you that you don’t even
know so how do we begin to create wealth
let me give you some ideas number one
write this down knowledge what knowledge
that you have in this economy part of
what we need that people are willing to
pay you for that next is talent
what talent Deon’s talents playing
football I don’t have that as a talent
my talent is talking to me that my
definition of success is doing what you
love to do and find somebody to pay you
to do it so I find people to pay me to
talk I talked I bought a game to this
you to this country called beard Wits
that I invented and as I talk I shoot
pool I signify I make you tear up your
cards break your cue stick because I
talk a lot of trash I throw you off
you’ve never been to Boston out take you
there so I learn how to signify I talk
trash all right
it’s I make a living talking trash to
18t I make more in one hour than 90% of
the American public earn working for a
whole year doing what I love to do that
I’ve developed my talent you want to
master your talent find out what it is
that you love to do I love to talk
scripture is another key that says to us
of what we need to do to begin to
develop ourselves
Luke 1234 where your treasure is there
will your heart be also so what do you
love to do and then explore ways in
which you can earn a living doing that
cooking writing painting working with
numbers working with people the other
thing is not only must you have
knowledged talent some skill but the
other thing that’s important faith to
act on whatever your dream is see if you
don’t believe in yourself how many
people you know that have a lot of
talent lot of abilities but they don’t
believe in the
raise your hands çf faith is very
important so the faith to act on those
dreams those desires
here’s scripture that I that I like very
much proverbs 16 sixteenth chapter third
verse commit thy works unto the Lord and
I thought shall be established commit
means to carry into action deliberately
commit means to make it happen no matter
what commitment the difference between
next time you have bigger names the
chicken was involved the pig was
committed he had to give it all up
that’s gonna take a minute to sink in
alright see when you make a commitment
I’m going to become wealthy when you
make it important when you decide I’m
going to do it no matter what life
changes for you see most people don’t
keep their commitments to their
commitments that’s why they lead lives
of poverty lives of misery lives of
unhappiness Socrates said the
uncommitted life isn’t worth living so
part of what you must do whatever
commitment or whatever covenant you make
with God while you’re here to go back to
be a better father to go back to make a
difference in the community to go back
to change your life to decide not to
ever to use drugs or alcohol again to
decide to vit that you’re going to begin
to recreate yourself that you’re going
to be reborn to a new state of
consciousness whatever commitment that
you make keep your commitment to your
commitment no matter what if it’s hard
then do it hard or keep your commitment
to your commitment and then it says that
works see now most people look at that
commit that works most people look at
activity that one engages in to achieve
a predetermined objective but words
commit thy works that plural eise’s an S
they’re learned this from Bishop you got
to watch these things in Scripture just
can’t go on the surface there’s an S
then say commit that work whatever task
whatever talent whatever skill whatever
knowledge you have and begin to make
money doing that making a difference
impacting people’s life but commit that
work so there’s two kinds of work
there’s external work activity that
you’re engaged in and there is internal
work now why is that important Pharisees
said to Jesus wind chill the kingdom of
God come they came of God coming out by
observation they shall say it’s neither
low very low here behold the kingdom of
God within you it’s within you seek ye
first the kingdom and all these things
will be added unto you wealth good
relationship peace of mind good health
better community whatever you want to
desire a more powerful ministry so the
work is internal as well as external so
therefore number one is first step is
you’ve got to live your calling you got
to decide what is it you love second
thing is you’ve got to work on yourself
write this down on the work on yourself
you don’t get in life what you want you
get in life what you are you have a
ministry and you have 300 people that’s
a reflection of you
you have 2,000 that’s a reflection of
you you have a job you’re generating
1200 dollars a year or $2,000 of
$500,000 whatever you earn whatever
you’re producing in your life is
reflection of you that’s why says Judge
a tree by the fruit it bears I can look
at what you are producing and I can tell
you a lot about who you are and if you
look at people who are living below
their potential and sinning and sin and
the Aramaic language means falling short
of the mark I asked a question earlier
how many of you have goes the raise your
hands how many of you know if you had
your life to live over again you can do
more than what you’ve done the majority
of us raised our hands then that was an
indication that was testimony to reflect
the fact that you are palade operating
below your potential that’s a sin here
in my father glorified that
they’re much fruit then just say fruit
much fruit say when you leave here
you’ve got to make a commitment to be
more fruitful but need to be more
productive to make greater impact so
what will allow you to do that you got to spend time working on yourself
