dr. cada had a tear in his eye I could
tell he fell for me and he said son I’m
sorry to say you’re not gonna box again
Vinnie was involved in a very serious
car accident that nearly killed him it
broke his neck
I will tell you this there is no more
destructive belief in the world and to
think that life happens to you
the first thing you do is you play what
I call the blame game after months of
rehab against doctor’s orders he got
back in the ring you stop blaming
everybody for why you don’t have what
you want you blame the government you’ll
grin your family and blame their spouse
you’ll blame their boss you’ll blame the
economy you’ll be to blame anybody and
everybody when you think the world
happens to you happens the second thing
you do is you justified
it is because because the economy stays
it’s because people unfairly and I
looked at him and I said no dr. Katya
Rome I am gonna box again
they justified third this is the worst
one of all as they complain
when you’re complaining what are you
focusing on
and everything again like most of life
comes down to psychology doesn’t it it
starts here in the internal world before
you can master the external world you
have to master your own internal wall
that’s the true secret to success you
really have to have a passion about it
and you have to have a reason to succeed
you can’t it isn’t to be just something
you want to be
see you don’t understand what kind of
man I am the number one thing that’s
going to change your life the only thing
that will change your life change your
business change your money change your
relationship because you must raise your
standard
the only thing that changes our life
long-term is what we raise our standards
that all of us in life have things we
want we don’t get what we want we get
what we have to have
but when you no longer willing to
tolerate something that’s when your life
changes the difference in people is
their standards period
everyone in the woman has a list of
things they think they should do I
should lose weight I should work out I
should spend more time with my kids I
should work harder I should make more
calls I should I should I should I shed
and then you know what people don’t do
their shirts and they get mad at
themselves they’re deacons help up about
what changes people is when you should
becomes a bust
when suddenly the thing you said should
happen has to happen that’s when human
beings change
if you want to take the island and
you’re the head of the army you want to
take the ice island the most powerful
way to take the island that’s burning
the boats was that there’s no way to get
back it’s amazing what happens when it’s
a must to do something phases of shit
that’s what makes you to be succeed
you don’t get what we want we get what
we have to have
every human being is thirsty for a
vision
everyone is and so few people happen to
what I do they gravitate towards someone
who has a vision for the future they
want to be a part of a vision
it’s gotta be something above your goals
and that’s your vision for the future
and it’s not just about it doesn’t have
like an ending points about the world
being a certain way and that’s inspiring
to you and you when you truly have a
vision for your future that inspires you
you’re gonna jump up out of bed in the
morning and feel great about going at
life versus being miserable and going
through a job you hate or living a life
that doesn’t empower you and just you
know everyday moving through just almost
like an automaton not really you know
having the zest and the great the
greatness of life
some I think I love it when someone says
that never no one has ever done this
before because they mean I do it that
means that I’m the first one that has
done it so pay no attention to the
people who say he can’t be done it’s not
because you set your goals too high and
miss you set your goals too low and you
eat them the difference in people is
their standards
period
and I looked at him I said no dr. Carter
you’re wrong I am gonna box again
it’s that extra inch that’s where you
want to set your goal want to set the
goals just above your comforts
but I’m talking about heart with your
parents and teachers wanted to be with
you I’m talking about figuring out for
yourselves what makes you happy no
matter how crazy it may sounds do the
people
I don’t think it’s that hard I think
what happens though sometimes is that we
let our intellectual selves overrule
those passions and so that’s what needs
to be guarded against
to tell you how much power you have in
your mind
we are all a work in progress
we are all a work in progress
and I just want to remind you of the
power of the mind
you can create the outcome of your our
your week your month and your year
you just have to decide in your mind
what you want it to be
but there’s a little more power in the
mind then you probably like to think and
give yourself credit for
and I looked at him I said no dr. Carter
you’re wrong I am gonna box again
would you don’t rip out that page about
the entire page rip it up rip it out
rip it out gentlemen throw you a notice
tear out that page
tear out the entire introduction I want
it gone history
leave nothing of it rip it out you can’t
please everybody all the time
or part of the time gentlemen this is a
battle a war and the casualties could be
your hearts and soul
it’s easy to to embrace hopelessness
when things seem insurmountable and yet
it is it’s actually just a matter of
time until all of the elements come
together for things to be all right I
mean I believe that you know most
difficult situations will resolve
themselves if you are persistent and if
you don’t if you don’t I give up
entirely and that’s what I never did I
never give up
I think there’s no no substitute for
hard work none zero it was as close to
the feeling of flying as I have ever had
the experience of that obsessive focus
of having an idea and actually being
able to photograph it that’s been the
magic potion for me ever since
there are no shortcuts who gotta put in
the time and I think the first takeaway
is there absolutely no shortcuts it
takes time and it takes a lot of hard
work
you have to study and you have to get
good grades
but you certainly should have a good
time as well because that’s part of your
growing up experience and there’s no
point in leading life to suffer all the
time you want to enjoy life as well as
the next person
so it’s some balance some blend between
the time
but at some point you’re going to need
to find your natural voice and find a
way to give voice you are you and
because of that you do have everyone in
your body is an original bone
yeah we have always since I was in my
late teens early 20s and I just never
got around to it I finally started
realizing as I was getting older by you
know my early 40s that I better really
do it it’s either now or I’m never gonna
do it we are here and and as you
struggle to to make your dreams happen
to live the impossible we’re thinking of
you tonight
I think some people and maybe I used to
think what you got successful you could
you’re successful in it FK you now you
can kind of just relax a little bit and
but that’s not the case at all you have
to pedal even harder you have to work
even more there are more opportunities
that need more time and dedication and
in order to do them well you have to
really really hunker down and do the
hard work
but I’ve never been afraid of hard work
and I always tell people when I’m asked
and it’s pretty often that I’m asked
about dreams and achieving creative
goals that I always believe that the the
bridge between reality and a dream is
work and I always in moments of despair
and doubts and dark days focus on on the
work I show up and I work and I work
that thirst or that drive to just
achieve what I believe is something as
good as you know those heroes that I
have is what continues to make me want
to uh want to do this
the only thing that you can control that
influences success in life is how hard
you work how honest you are and how well
you deal with others you can control
those uh variables when you have a dream
and the dream isn’t something you dream
and then it happens that dream is
something you never knew was going to
come into your life the dreams always
come from behind you not not right
between your eyes it’s teks up on you
but when you have a dream it doesn’t
often come at you screaming in your face
this is who you are this is what you
must be for the rest of your life
sometimes a dream almost whispers and
I’ve always said to my kids the hardest
thing to listen to your instincts your
human personal intuition always whispers
it never shouts very hard to hear so you
have to every day of your lives be ready
to hear what whispers in your ear it
very rarely shouts and if you can listen
to the whisper and if it tickles your
heart and it’s something you think you
want to do for the rest of your life
then that is going to be what you do for
the rest of your life and we will
benefit from everything you do
I don’t think there’s any magic in being
successful and I’m not talking about
making a million dollars or a billion
dollars I’m just talking about being
successful I’m talking about being
successful what you guys do at work I
don’t think there’s any magic you got to
work hard you got to respect the people
around you and you just got to go I’ve
never met a successful person that
doesn’t work hard we are trained to
listen to voices that are not our own
parents and professors fill our heads
with wisdom and information and then
employers and mentors take their place
and explain how this world really works
and usually these voices of authority
makes sense but sometimes doubt starts
to creep into our heads and into our
hearts and even when we think that’s not
quite how I see the world it’s kind of
easier just to not in agreement and go
along and for a while I let that going
along define my character
and at first the internal voice I needed
to listen to was hardly audible and it
was hardly noticeable kind of like me in
high school but then I started paying
more attention and my intuition kicked
in and I want to be clear that your
intuition is different from your
conscience they work in tandem but
here’s the distinction your conscience
shelves here’s what you should do while
your intuition whispers here’s what you
could do listen to that voice that tells
you what you could do nothing then
define your character more than that
because once I turned to my intuition
and I tuned into it i certain projects
began to pull me into them and others I
turned away from
keep going find that thing you love
because it’s tough work but I think if
you can find that thing that really
gives you joy that’ll be it because that
for me it’s always been comedy and
stand-up and enacting too because of
book exploring behavior but it’s tough
work but it’s and as you can get it even
better
good luck
I wish there was no suffering
and it just comes with the job some of
the greatest work comes from paying or
some great work comes from from love
from loss it’s like wanting to be the
best at whatever you do never stop it to
you the best like I don’t believe in
doing anything halfway I believe they’re
going all the way so the other stop
when you see hard times and you get
knocked down get back up and if you keep
putting everything you got into it and
you keep getting back up when you get
knocked down it’s almost impossible to
fail
push until it first or you sort of you
want to be always pushing beyond what
you’re comfortable with and you’re
sweating just a little bit all the time
and when that happens when you’re when
you’re constantly pushing beyond what
you think what you know is possible
you’re always sweating a little bit and
you’re always a little bit nervous but
that is the
and so when you’re pushing like that and
you’re never really relaxed then it
always feels small
anything you want good you can have
so claiming work hard to get it when you
get it
reach back hold someone else up aspire
to make a difference I found that
nothing in life is worthwhile unless you
take risks nothing
Nelson Mandela said there is no passion
to be found playing small and settling
for a life that’s less than the one
you’re capable of living
to get something you never had you have
to do something you never did
les Browns a motivational speaker you
made an analogy about this says imagine
you’re on your deathbed and standing
around your deathbed are the ghosts
representing your unfulfilled attention
the ghosts of the ideas are never acted
on the ghosts of the talents you didn’t
use and they’re standing around your bed
angry disappointed and upset they say we
came to you because you could have
brought us to life they said and now we
have to go to the grave together so I
ask you today how many ghosts are going
to be around your bed when your time
comes can’t live my life based upon what
other people think about it so I can’t
concern myself too much with what other
people think you know it’s just not
healthy I don’t think I could continue
to do what I do if I was constantly
worrying about what somebody thought
about it if you’re gonna be good at
something it does take a while just
enjoy the game man you’re gonna get fed
up you’re gonna get disheartened then
people are gonna tell you you’re useless
and all that but what I can
say after about 15 or 20 years I learned
how to do something well and I enjoyed
that getting there as much as big
now I’m sure in your experiences in
school and applying to college and
picking your major and deciding what you
want to do with life I’m sure people
that told you to make sure you have
something to fall back on make sure you
got something to fall back on honey but
I never understood that concept having
something to fall back on if I’m going
to fall I don’t want to fall back on
anything except my faith I want to fall
forward I figure at least this way I’ll
see what I’m going to hit fall forward
this is what I mean
Reggie Jackson struck out 26 hundred
times in his career the most in the
history of baseball but you don’t hear
about the strikeouts people remember the
homeruns
catching skills get better and better
that hitter needs to be able to adapt
and adjust
the best thing that ever happened to me
the best thing that ever happened to me
is I hit rock bottom
by far the best thing that ever happened
to me is hitting rock bottom I think I
think for men I have two boys and I’m
gonna be in pain when I witnessed these
guys go through this but I think the
best thing that can happen to a man is a
heartbreak a very strong heartbreak and
a very big failure early on in business
and it happened to me early on a life
both heartbreak and business that
happened early on because I thought I
knew it all and it was a slap in the
face to save Socrates says the only
thing I know is that I know nothing if
the greatest minds on their deathbed are
saying things like that what makes you
and I think we know everything
if I’m going to fall
I don’t want to fall back on
except my feet I want to fall forward
you
he said but imagine if you will being on
your deathbed and standing around your
bed the ghost of the ideas the dreams
the abilities the talents given to you
by life and that you for whatever reason
you never acted on those ideas you never
pursued that dream you never use those
talents we never saw your leadership you
never use your voice you never wrote
that book and there they are standing
around your bed looking at you with
large angry eyes and we came to you
and only you could have given us life
now we must die with you forever
so it’s not how much you have it’s what
you do with what you have and we all
have different hips some money some love
some patience some ability to touch
people but we all have it use it share
it that’s what counts and the question
is if you die today what ideas what
dreams what abilities what talents what
gifts will die with you ask the question
when you’re thinking big why not you and
answer it I’m not just doing this
motivational video why not you why
shouldn’t you win no no forget
motivation let’s get logical why don’t
you actually answer that
why can’t you be somebody that can do
something in your business that’s never
been done before why don’t you answer it
so give the argument logically here’s
why not me because I don’t work hard
enough you can fix that stop being lazy
well whatever but because I’m not that
good of self you can learn sales so okay
because I don’t know much about the
product you kill horn the product but
why not you
because no one in my family’s been raped
so what no one was in rich in Zuckerberg
family before he became who he is today
and nobody was in jobs jobs mom even
gave them up or adoption so many things
go wrong when you’re starting a company
and often I think people ask you know
what mistakes should you avoid making
and you know my answer the question is
don’t even bother trying to avoid
mistakes because you’re gonna make tons
of mistakes all right and the the the
important thing is actually learning
quickly from whatever mistakes you make
and not giving up sometimes life’s gonna
hit you in the head with a brick don’t
lose faith I’m convinced that the only
thing that kept me going was that I
loved what I did you’ve got to find what
you love I mean there are things every
single year of Facebook’s existence that
could have killed us are made it so that
you just seem like moving forward and
making a lot of progress just seemed
intractable but you just kind of bounce
back and you learn and nothing is
impossible you just have to kind of keep
running through the walls so why don’t
you make the argument why don’t you
truly get into it then give the other
argument why not you actually doing this
why shouldn’t you be white why shouldn’t
you be the person and say I’m a very
smart person I love people
I actually like to make money to make a
difference in the world and you know
what I care for people and I have some
things I want to do if I get money in my
pocket or be good I’ll do good with it
and I’ve got a big heart and I am
talented and I thought that that then I
know the right people
oh that’s why that’s you
four years after starting SpaceX rolled
out its first rocket an unmanned booster
called the Falcon one Falcon has cleared
the tower but the first three test
flights failed to reach orbit when you
had that third failure in a row did you
think I need to pack this in why not
I don’t ever give up I mean I’d have to
be dead or living fascinated hookah miss
you can’t do it who convinced you can be
part of a group of people I want so many
guys on YouTube that you know are even
some of these guys are considered
experts by big magazines and they’ve
written or your time bestsellers and
they say some shit like all you know
entrepreneurs are born give me a damn
break entrepreneurship can be taught
entrepreneurship is an inspiration that
comes from here for some people that
want to solve a bigger problem
what do you mean entrepreneurship is
something you’re born with I completely
disagree with that statement fully
disagree with that stage
if you want to do anything worthwhile in
life you’ve got to be hungry
and so I started working to develop
myself he said I want you to practice
every day being a disc jockey I said but
I don’t have any job now he said it
doesn’t matter he said that it’s better
to be prepared for an opportunity and
not have one than to have an opportunity
and not be prepared so every day I was
working to develop myself
and that’s what you must do
entrepreneurship it is a formula if you
hang around other people that think like
this and you watch this video and you
watch all our value tainment or some of
the people that are feeding the right
type of content you and the right books
you read your imagination one stopped
working because the entrepreneur is
numbers solving problems how can I do it
better faster why can’t you learn those
skill sets why can’t you you can so why
not you and don’t let anybody convince
you that people who saw some big
promising you know our big thinkers that
have to be born to be a big thing I’m
here to tell you you can figure out the
formula to thinking bigger
greatness is not this wonderful esoteric
illusive godlike feature that only the
special among us will ever taste you
know it’s something that truly exists in
all of us it’s very simple this is what
I believe and I’m willing to die for
I feel so strongly that the reason I’m
here is I dream big dreams I dream the
kind of dreams that other people said
would not be possible I’m also living
proof disease in a Hollywood movie I
come literally from the other side of
the tracks if you saw where I grew up
and took a picture of it the
neighborhood the setting you say it’s
not it’s impossible that someone could
come from there and you get here
you can do anything
but there will be people along the way
who will say to you you know you’re
dreaming too big it’s not possible those
things just can’t happen don’t allow
anyone friend family acquaintances
teachers whoever it is don’t allow
anyone to tell you that what you are
dreaming for yourself and your family is
not possible it is possible don’t be one
of those people twenty years from now
are going to be walking around a
nine-to-five job
miserable and angry and bitter because
you let your dreams get away from you
because we did not believe stronger
enough in yourself and what was possible
don’t allow that to happen this is an
unbelievable time and I can’t encourage
you enough to continue to think that
things are possible and that your dreams
can come true
at least I feel like I failed when I
didn’t put everything I had into the
into a problem so really it goes back to
the analogy I made at the beginning is
if you don’t put it all out there if you
don’t put everything you got into
solving the problem then that’s failure
so you have to learn from the mistakes
that you made and you’ve got to create
an environment where people are not
afraid to take a risk and not afraid to
do things that are beyond what the
expectations are
fear is the disease hustle as the
antidote you can’t count on sales you
can’t count on anything but just crazy
hustle and just grit your teeth claw
your way to success there was just no
easy way to do it
in order to be this disruptive to what’s
going on you have to have you have to be
willing to to fight and you have to not
be it you can’t be shy you never stop it
to you the best like I don’t believe in
doing anything halfway
I believe them going all the way you
never stop

Vinnie was involved in a very serious

bridge between reality and a dream is
work and I always in moments of despair
and doubts and dark days focus on on the
work I show up and I work and I work
that thirst or that drive to just
achieve what I believe is something as
good as you know those heroes that I
have is what continues to make me want
to uh want to do this
the only thing that you can control that
influences success in life is how hard
you work how honest you are and how well
you deal with others you can control
those uh variables when you have a dream
and the dream isn’t something you dream
and then it happens that dream is
something you never knew was going to
come into your life the dreams always
come from behind you not not right
between your eyes it’s teks up on you
but when you have a dream it doesn’t
often come at you screaming in your face
this is who you are this is what you
must be for the rest of your life
sometimes a dream almost whispers and
I’ve always said to my kids the hardest
thing to listen to your instincts your
human personal intuition always whispers
it never shouts very hard to hear so you
have to every day of your lives be ready
to hear what whispers in your ear it
very rarely shouts and if you can listen
to the whisper and if it tickles your
heart and it’s something you think you
want to do for the rest of your life
then that is going to be what you do for
the rest of your life and we will
benefit from everything you do
I don’t think there’s any magic in being
successful and I’m not talking about
making a million dollars or a billion
dollars I’m just talking about being
successful I’m talking about being
successful what you guys do at work I
don’t think there’s any magic you got to
work hard you got to respect the people
around you and you just got to go I’ve
never met a successful person that
doesn’t work hard we are trained to
listen to voices that are not our own
parents and professors fill our heads
with wisdom and information and then
employers and mentors take their place
and explain how this world really works
and usually these voices of authority
makes sense but sometimes doubt starts
to creep into our heads and into our
hearts and even when we think that’s not
quite how I see the world it’s kind of
easier just to not in agreement and go
along and for a while I let that going
along define my character
and at first the internal voice I needed
to listen to was hardly audible and it
was hardly noticeable kind of like me in
high school but then I started paying
more attention and my intuition kicked
in and I want to be clear that your
intuition is different from your
conscience they work in tandem but
here’s the distinction your conscience
shelves here’s what you should do while
your intuition whispers here’s what you
could do listen to that voice that tells
you what you could do nothing then
define your character more than that
because once I turned to my intuition
and I tuned into it i certain projects
began to pull me into them and others I
turned away from
keep going find that thing you love
because it’s tough work but I think if
you can find that thing that really
gives you joy that’ll be it because that
for me it’s always been comedy and
stand-up and enacting too because of
book exploring behavior but it’s tough
work but it’s and as you can get it even
better
good luck
I wish there was no suffering
and it just comes with the job some of
the greatest work comes from paying or
some great work comes from from love
from loss it’s like wanting to be the
best at whatever you do never stop it to
you the best like I don’t believe in
doing anything halfway I believe they’re
going all the way so the other stop
when you see hard times and you get
knocked down get back up and if you keep
putting everything you got into it and
you keep getting back up when you get
knocked down it’s almost impossible to
fail
push until it first or you sort of you
want to be always pushing beyond what
you’re comfortable with and you’re
sweating just a little bit all the time
and when that happens when you’re when
you’re constantly pushing beyond what
you think what you know is possible
you’re always sweating a little bit and
you’re always a little bit nervous but
that is the
and so when you’re pushing like that and
you’re never really relaxed then it
always feels small
anything you want good you can have
so claiming work hard to get it when you
get it
reach back hold someone else up aspire
to make a difference I found that
nothing in life is worthwhile unless you
take risks nothing
Nelson Mandela said there is no passion
to be found playing small and settling
for a life that’s less than the one
you’re capable of living
to get something you never had you have
to do something you never did
les Browns a motivational speaker you
made an analogy about this says imagine
you’re on your deathbed and standing
around your deathbed are the ghosts
representing your unfulfilled attention
the ghosts of the ideas are never acted
on the ghosts of the talents you didn’t
use and they’re standing around your bed
angry disappointed and upset they say we
came to you because you could have
brought us to life they said and now we
have to go to the grave together so I
ask you today how many ghosts are going
to be around your bed when your time
comes can’t live my life based upon what
other people think about it so I can’t
concern myself too much with what other
people think you know it’s just not
healthy I don’t think I could continue
to do what I do if I was constantly
worrying about what somebody thought
about it if you’re gonna be good at
something it does take a while just
enjoy the game man you’re gonna get fed
up you’re gonna get disheartened then
people are gonna tell you you’re useless
and all that but what I can
say after about 15 or 20 years I learned
how to do something well and I enjoyed
that getting there as much as big
now I’m sure in your experiences in
school and applying to college and
picking your major and deciding what you
want to do with life I’m sure people
that told you to make sure you have
something to fall back on make sure you
got something to fall back on honey but
I never understood that concept having
something to fall back on if I’m going
to fall I don’t want to fall back on
anything except my faith I want to fall
forward I figure at least this way I’ll
see what I’m going to hit fall forward
this is what I mean
Reggie Jackson struck out 26 hundred
times in his career the most in the
history of baseball but you don’t hear
about the strikeouts people remember the
homeruns
catching skills get better and better
that hitter needs to be able to adapt
and adjust
the best thing that ever happened to me
the best thing that ever happened to me
is I hit rock bottom
by far the best thing that ever happened
to me is hitting rock bottom I think I
think for men I have two boys and I’m
gonna be in pain when I witnessed these
guys go through this but I think the
best thing that can happen to a man is a
heartbreak a very strong heartbreak and
a very big failure early on in business
and it happened to me early on a life
both heartbreak and business that
happened early on because I thought I
knew it all and it was a slap in the
face to save Socrates says the only
thing I know is that I know nothing if
the greatest minds on their deathbed are
saying things like that what makes you
and I think we know everything
if I’m going to fall
I don’t want to fall back on
except my feet I want to fall forward
you
he said but imagine if you will being on
your deathbed and standing around your
bed the ghost of the ideas the dreams
the abilities the talents given to you
by life and that you for whatever reason
you never acted on those ideas you never
pursued that dream you never use those
talents we never saw your leadership you
never use your voice you never wrote
that book and there they are standing
around your bed looking at you with
large angry eyes and we came to you
and only you could have given us life
now we must die with you forever
so it’s not how much you have it’s what
you do with what you have and we all
have different hips some money some love
some patience some ability to touch
people but we all have it use it share
it that’s what counts and the question
is if you die today what ideas what
dreams what abilities what talents what
gifts will die with you ask the question
when you’re thinking big why not you and
answer it I’m not just doing this
motivational video why not you why
shouldn’t you win no no forget
motivation let’s get logical why don’t
you actually answer that
why can’t you be somebody that can do
something in your business that’s never
been done before why don’t you answer it
so give the argument logically here’s
why not me because I don’t work hard
enough you can fix that stop being lazy
well whatever but because I’m not that
good of self you can learn sales so okay
because I don’t know much about the
product you kill horn the product but
why not you
because no one in my family’s been raped
so what no one was in rich in Zuckerberg
family before he became who he is today
and nobody was in jobs jobs mom even
gave them up or adoption so many things
go wrong when you’re starting a company
and often I think people ask you know
what mistakes should you avoid making
and you know my answer the question is
don’t even bother trying to avoid
mistakes because you’re gonna make tons
of mistakes all right and the the the
important thing is actually learning
quickly from whatever mistakes you make
and not giving up sometimes life’s gonna
hit you in the head with a brick don’t
lose faith I’m convinced that the only
thing that kept me going was that I
loved what I did you’ve got to find what
you love I mean there are things every
single year of Facebook’s existence that
could have killed us are made it so that
you just seem like moving forward and
making a lot of progress just seemed
intractable but you just kind of bounce
back and you learn and nothing is
impossible you just have to kind of keep
running through the walls so why don’t
you make the argument why don’t you
truly get into it then give the other
argument why not you actually doing this
why shouldn’t you be white why shouldn’t
you be the person and say I’m a very
smart person I love people
I actually like to make money to make a
difference in the world and you know
what I care for people and I have some
things I want to do if I get money in my
pocket or be good I’ll do good with it
and I’ve got a big heart and I am
talented and I thought that that then I
know the right people
oh that’s why that’s you
four years after starting SpaceX rolled
out its first rocket an unmanned booster
called the Falcon one Falcon has cleared
the tower but the first three test
flights failed to reach orbit when you
had that third failure in a row did you
think I need to pack this in why not
I don’t ever give up I mean I’d have to
be dead or living fascinated hookah miss
you can’t do it who convinced you can be
part of a group of people I want so many
guys on YouTube that you know are even
some of these guys are considered
experts by big magazines and they’ve
written or your time bestsellers and
they say some shit like all you know
entrepreneurs are born give me a damn
break entrepreneurship can be taught
entrepreneurship is an inspiration that
comes from here for some people that
want to solve a bigger problem
what do you mean entrepreneurship is
something you’re born with I completely
disagree with that statement fully
disagree with that stage
if you want to do anything worthwhile in
life you’ve got to be hungry
and so I started working to develop
myself he said I want you to practice
every day being a disc jockey I said but
I don’t have any job now he said it
doesn’t matter he said that it’s better
to be prepared for an opportunity and
not have one than to have an opportunity
and not be prepared so every day I was
working to develop myself
and that’s what you must do
entrepreneurship it is a formula if you
hang around other people that think like
this and you watch this video and you
watch all our value tainment or some of
the people that are feeding the right
type of content you and the right books
you read your imagination one stopped
working because the entrepreneur is
numbers solving problems how can I do it
better faster why can’t you learn those
skill sets why can’t you you can so why
not you and don’t let anybody convince
you that people who saw some big
promising you know our big thinkers that
have to be born to be a big thing I’m
here to tell you you can figure out the
formula to thinking bigger
greatness is not this wonderful esoteric
illusive godlike feature that only the
special among us will ever taste you
know it’s something that truly exists in
all of us it’s very simple this is what
I believe and I’m willing to die for
I feel so strongly that the reason I’m
here is I dream big dreams I dream the
kind of dreams that other people said
would not be possible I’m also living
proof disease in a Hollywood movie I
come literally from the other side of
the tracks if you saw where I grew up
and took a picture of it the
neighborhood the setting you say it’s
not it’s impossible that someone could
come from there and you get here
you can do anything
but there will be people along the way
who will say to you you know you’re
dreaming too big it’s not possible those
things just can’t happen don’t allow
anyone friend family acquaintances
teachers whoever it is don’t allow
anyone to tell you that what you are
dreaming for yourself and your family is
not possible it is possible don’t be one
of those people twenty years from now
are going to be walking around a
nine-to-five job
miserable and angry and bitter because
you let your dreams get away from you
because we did not believe stronger
enough in yourself and what was possible
don’t allow that to happen this is an
unbelievable time and I can’t encourage
you enough to continue to think that
things are possible and that your dreams
can come true
at least I feel like I failed when I
didn’t put everything I had into the
into a problem so really it goes back to
the analogy I made at the beginning is
if you don’t put it all out there if you
don’t put everything you got into
solving the problem then that’s failure
so you have to learn from the mistakes
that you made and you’ve got to create
an environment where people are not
afraid to take a risk and not afraid to
do things that are beyond what the
expectations are
fear is the disease hustle as the
antidote you can’t count on sales you
can’t count on anything but just crazy
hustle and just grit your teeth claw
your way to success there was just no
easy way to do it
in order to be this disruptive to what’s
going on you have to have you have to be
willing to to fight and you have to not
be it you can’t be shy you never stop it
to you the best like I don’t believe in
doing anything halfway
I believe them going all the way you
never stop
